THE SHOW OUTPUT.—Seaforth and vicin- , ity generally auppliee its due quota of the visitors at the Toronto Exhibition, many of whom, possiblye, take advantage of the cheap fares to visit the city on business and take in the filir by the way. There were, in all, 245 tickets sold! at Seaforth from the 6-th to the 14th inchisive, and* this number would, no doubt, have been very reticle larger but for wet and unfavorable weather. The greatest number eold on any one day was Monday, the 12th, which gives a record of 85 ; Wednesday giving 37, and Tuesday the 6th, 25. The smallest number was on Tuesday, the 13th, there being only 6. COUNCIL MEETING,—The council met on Monday evening last when accounts to the amount of $277.76 were passed and ordered to be paid. The Fire and Water Committee were instructed to communicate with the Ball Electric Light Company regarding th commercial dynamo the armatures havit burned out, and the'dynamo become untie - isfa,ctory. A committee, composed of te Mayor, Reeve and Councillors Beattie a I Good, was appointed to hear the evidem ) pro and con in the matter of the charg. laid against the waterworks engineer, an I report at next meeting of council. The sum of $350 was ordered to be paid Mr Thomas Downey on lumber contract for the year,and the aura of '8200 to Mr. J. Wesley Beattie on gravel contract for the year. The sum of $250 was placed to the credit of the con- tractors of the new waterworks building. Pouncil then adjourned to meet at the call of the Mayor. MR.s. HITME(cox:' LECTURES.—We again remind our readers of the meetings to be held in this town, under the auapices Of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, by Mrs. Owen Hitchcox. Mra. Hitchcox is not only an earnest, able and elocittent temperance lecturer but is, as well, an accomplished musician, and she furniihes an entertainment both instructive and inter- esting. We hope to see the hall filled each evening. All who wish to spend a pleathant evening, as well as all who sympathise with the temperance cause, should make it a point to attend. The meetings will open each evening at half -past seven with a musical programme by the church Choirs and the Young Men's Christian Association' Orcheatra. Thie programme will continue , until eight o'clock, when the lecturer will take the platform. The Wednesday even- ing Gospel meeting, under the auspices of the Young Menis Christian Association, will not be held on next Wednesday even, ing on account of this entertainment. THE SEAFORTH SHONV.—The annual show tinder the auspices of the South Huron and 1 uckersmith Branch Agricultural Societies, ill be held this year in Seaforth on Tues. ay and Wednesclaoi, October Ith and 5th. this promisee to be the best and most at- tiwctive gathering of the kind that has ever een held in this part of the country. The ly thing that can -now prevent its success the weather. Besides the very liberal and comprehensive premiuin list offered by tine Riding Society, the Braneh is launching out liberally and is providing numerous and novel attractione for both the first and aecond days of the shows, so that there will be a liberal and elaborate bill of fare. The price of admission has, also, been lowered _this year, as the admission fee will be only 15 cents instead of 25 cents as fornerly, thus giving a better show for less money than ever before. It should be largely at- tended by people from all over this and the adjoining counties. There will be a grand rally of old friends and a great renewal of old acquaintances. LARGE GRAIN DELIvERIES.—On Wednes- day of this week, the 14th inst. the largest deliveries of wheat were made that have been recorded for any one day for years pet. From reliable reports we learn that the amounts are estimated in round num- bers as follows : Goderich—Ogilvie & Hutchinson's mills, 2,500 bushels; Clinton— James Fair's mills, 1,000 bushels ; Seaforth —Ogilvie's mills, 2,500 bushels, storehouses, 1,500 bushels making 4,000 bushels for Sea.forth ; ditchell—Storehouses, 1,500 bushels ; Stratford—Mills, 3,000 bushels, storehouses, 1,000 bushels ; making the total receipts at the four points 13,000 bushels. To this must be added the store- house receipts at Clinton, which we were unable to procure. During the greatest rush Ogilvieti mills in this town took the grain from the farmers' wagons at the rate of about five hundred bushels per hour. The price., paid was 68 cents standard for new fall wheat and 70 cents for old, which was the higheat being paid at any of the points named, although lower freights rule from some. _ Eumozetivieoe Nihren—The Rev.

TORONTO EXHIBIT1041—The Toronto Exhibition is in full blast thin week,although proceedinge have been conelderably inter- fered with by the weather. The Exhibition, in point of attendance at any rate, was a success. This year the groneicis have been considerably enlarged, and 5the mammoth grand stand recently erectik and which, it is said, will accomritOdate 12,000 people, adds materially to !the room and comfort of visitors. Thus fOr the gate re- ceipts have been somewhat huger than in former years, but whether orgnot in point of exhibits the showe is improvId: over former years it is difficult to Bey. The entries, it is claimed, are larger than ever before. It is, however almost a misnom r to dall it an " Exhibition " in the ordiner that term. It is, more prop " Bazaar and Circus," The acceptation o! rly speaking, a " Exhibition " part of the entertainment isodecidedly, the least important department and little atten- tion is given to it in compaedson with the other departments. On Monctay, the day of the largest attendance, fully - three-fourths of those present were on t e grand stand viewing the acrobatic perfo mances, horse fourth filled the main buil ing, in which i races, &c., while fully halfiof the remaining every stand is occupied by vvIctres for sale rather than for exhibition. Thh seats around the ring where the judging of htock was- go- ing on, although free, were ow; at any time more than half filled, while friquently they grand stand in front of which the races and were nearly empty, while the :immense new acrobatic performances were in progress, was packed at 25 cents a heed. In fact, were it not for these " attract one " " Can- ada's Great Industrial Exhibi ion " as it is called, would not amount to uch. These " attractions " in front of the igrand -stand are viewed by many who would be shocked if. asked to attend a theatre le or. a regular horse nice, where they would else precisely similar performances,although 14tere they are disconnected in a large measur* from many of the associations which aid to!.1 make them objectionable when enacted hi their ordi- nary places. The result of 1 the whole "shove" is, that an immense' amount of money is drawn (from outside, principally Ontario, and concentrated in t e coffers of the business men of Toronto, w o, with the railway companies, derive the p incipal ben- efit. The Toronto Telegram izes up the whole businees very accurately when it Gays: " If the Exhibition i each yeae loses more and more ita character as the illustrator of its country's progress in the arts of peace, it each year gains more and more in its attrac- tiveness as the entertain r of t e masses. The Fair that was designed a a great teacher is developing , into gigantic clown. And who can say that it is develop. ing in the wrong direction ? Whit shall say that the great Exhibition is false ito its mis- sion when it varies amusement with instruc- tion, or instruction with amusement ? If such words should be said the people would say them. The people seem to be satisfied. They come in crowds and the auccess of the Fair is proof that hard working Canadians like their instruction tinctured wit!it amuse- , ment." Brucefield. i THE celebrated C.

A FORMER RESIDENT.—In the Riversdale cortespondence of the Walkerton Telescope, we find the following obituary notice of one wine was a resident of Tuckersmith some 25 years ago : " We have this week to record the ,death of Mrs. James Wark, which oc- curied on August 6th. Deceased had lost her health and strength, likewise her eight lode years ago. She suffered a great deal duhing that time, but she bore her trials and afflictions with Christian fortitude, and was quite conscious of her surroundings, until the vital spark had fled. Deeeased and her huldeand had been residents of Greenock sin a 1870. Before that time they lived on a arm in Tuckersrnith, Eluron county. Prtvious to her marriage with Mr. Wark, she was the widow of Allan Campbell, of Grey county. By him she had two children, Hector and Mary Campbell, who survive het, and mourn the loss of a kind and lov- ing mother. She was born on the Island of Time, Argyleshire, Scotland, in the year 1818, consequently at her death she was 75 years of age. Her maiden name was Flora BriOwn, being the eldest of a large family, of which five daughters emigrated to Canada in '1847. At that time one of the brothers died, the surviving brother, Mr, Neil Brown, then located in Tuckersmith, Huron cotinty, where he still lives while the only living sister, Mrs. Robert 'Murray, lives in West Wawanosh. The other three sisters, viz, Mrs. H. Berger Mrs. D. A. McDonald and Mrs. Donald lVfaiinnon have been dead foe a number of years. The funerel took place on Monday, August 8th, at 5 o'clock p. in., her only son, H. B. Campbell, arriv- ing just one hour previous to the funeral. Tile remains were interred in the Baptist ceinetery, where three of her sisters are bdryid, besides a large number of other rela- tives. Id -the absence of Rev. Mr. Grey, (Peesbyterian), who had been her pastor, the funeral was conducted by Rev. Mr. Soatch (Methodist, of Enn isk illen. ) Nearly all, the relatives from a distance were pres- ent at the funeral. A sad and melancholy ineident in this connection is the feeble and helpless state of the deceesed's husband. He was unable to follow the remains to the grave, and indeed is beyond all medical skill, and will not long eurvive her." COUNCIL.—The Council met at Dixon's Hotel, Brucefield, on September 7th, The niembers were all present. A number of accounts were passed for payment, and $25 voted for relief to the poor. The chief busi- ness was making an estimate of the amount hecessary to, meet the obligations of the year, awl striking the annual rates. The County requires $3,531) or more than $200 SEPTEMBER 161 1892. ANOMINniaimmemaml above last year's call, or,. will require a rate of 1.7, mills on the do tr. The amount ordered to be levied fo; township uses, in- cluding the general scho ,1 rate, is $3,176, and will require a rate of 1.5 mills on the dollar. For railway redemption fund of $1,009,rate about half a mill. The railway debentures are due on October 10th, J893. The amount needed, it is safe to say, will be on hand. 'The requisitions of the several boards of trustees, four of whom require no sectional levy, were ordered to be levied, also amount. provided for under former by- laws, viz. for drainage school debentures and equalization of sch'ool property. Mr. James Cumming was re -appointed collector of taxes for the year 1892, and will start on his rounds on the 15th of October. The en- gineer's report, respecting the big drain, dated September 3rd, was presented. He is of opinion that the drain can be put in proper repair for less than $200. He wae instructed to get hp specifications that the job may be let at once. In fact, the Council expected that the report would contain specifications, and had made arrangements to let the Work by tender. As some as we hear from the engineer the specifications will be found at Mr Reinke's and tenders will be asked for up to a day fixed by adver- tisement in the HURON EXPOSITOR. Claims were presented from. Mr. E. Sibbens and Mr. Case. The former for illegal removal of gravel • the latter for damage to a horse, caused b'y breaking through Gemmill's bridge. These claims were discussed and laid over for enquiry. Claims were pre- sented for damage to sheep by the worthless dogs. Mr. Upshall had six worried ; Mr. G. McKay also had several worried and some dead. The claims will be adjusted at next meeting, which is to be held at the can of the Reeve, and of which notice will be given.—S. SMILLIE. Clerk. Leadbury.
