Mr. Clark carne here on a visit to friends in this vicinity, and while here combined busi- ness with pleasure. He took with him a very good lot of horses. Among the number was the well-known driving horse " which he purchased from Mr. John Dorseys of this town, and for which he paid a good figure. He also had another very fine driver, which he purchased from Mr. Thos. Walsh. These two will make a fast and stylish pair, and wilhdelight the heart of the most fastidious Manitoban. We may mention that; "Grip" was imported from the Southern States by Mr. Mc- Conkey, the well known horseman of the County of Bruce' and was after- ards purchased andbrought to- this town by Mr. Geo. Whiteley. We wish Mr. Clark every success with hie horses and hope he will 'do so well with them that he will soon be back for more. THE FIRST OF THE SEASON. — The fiat new whet for this season delivered at Ogilvie & Co.'s mills in this town was brought in on Tuesday last, the 28th inst,, by Mr. Joseph Hugill, of the Mc- Killop and Aullett townline. It was grown on his farm • was red wheat, and a particularlygoodeample. Mr. Hugill has, therefore i the honor of being the first of the season.—Mr. James Breed - foot, of the am Road, Tuckersmith, on Friday last mint us in three samples of new varieties : of wheat grown on his farm. The heads of these several sam- ples were veiy superior and promise a good yield. i They were large, well filled, and the rain was plump, while w the strawas bight and of good quel- . ity.—There was, also delivered at Coed dc Co.'s mill iti this town on Wednesday a sample of very good Democrat wheat. This wheat wae grown by Mr. Samuel Wise, of the Huron road, Tuckersmith. It was of excellent quality, and weighed 63- pounds to he bushel. Mr. Hugill's wheat Weighed 62 pounds to the bushel. It will tints be seen that while McKil- lop has beatten Tuckersmith one day in point of time, Tuckersmith beats Me- Killop one pond in weight, so they are about square., - e---ree----e------, HARVEST.--Ha.rvet operations are now in full swing in this vicinity. The hay has nearly all been housed and in most places gave a larger yield than was expe,ctedi On the whole there will be a fair average crop. Most of the fall wheat is now cut, and a good deal of it housed. There was net such a large breadth saWn,fts in some former years, but the yield ,will be very large. A better crop is.tould scarcely be desired. It is thick cid the ground, well filled and of No. 1 quality. We notice, however, that a good nonny have again cut their grain too i greeh, • and. some are even housing it in an unripe condition. It is a pity to spoil good grin in this way, especially when nothing is gained by it. °ate will be an immense crop and a large breadth has been sown. The head a are already commencing to turn. The weatherdhas been favorable to fill- ing and the quality will bee in keeping with the large yield. Peas are an equally good rop. Barley is fair, but is not a beaver erop, and less was sown last spring than venal. Roots and corn are doing well now. Turnips got a eplondid start and are keeping it up, mid mangolds that were left are now doing well. -A.good deal of spring wheat has been sow4 this year and it all looks well, and with favorable weather will also be a good crop. The people have special causefer thankfulness thisseason. ele was the best of the afternoon, and for 28 minutes the rubber travelled from one end of the field to the other until the Seaforths let loose their -checks and Brantford scored.

Gibson and Miller, of Stratford, also did their duty in umpiring the game.
