DISTRICT MATTERS.
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. Alex-

THE.' 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."

THE LATE MR.S. JOHN MCBEATH,l'he
subjeet of this brief sketch was born , in
Perthshire, Scotland, in 1813. Her maiden
name was McEwen, and she with her mew
bereaved husband came to this country smite
36 years ago, and settled on the farm where
she died on the 4th concession of StanleY.
At the time of their coming to the township
there were but few cleared opots in it, iti
that, literally, they have seen its grow h
from a bush to a beautiful hdme. The
were members of the Presbyterian Churc
for over 52 years, and of Union Churc
Brimfield, since the union. They had e
joyed married life for about fifty years
Several years ago she was afflicted with al-
most total blindness, and during the past
year had five paralytic strokes, yet she bore
by grace these severe afflictions patiently.
'Hers was a gradual ripening for the Lord's
garner above. Her remains were laid to
rest in el3aird's cemetery, on Monday, the
4th inst„ followed by'one of, the largest con-
courses of people ever seen in Stanley. She
was a kind neighbor, a loving mother and a
devoted wife, and leavea behind to mourn
her loss a husband, two daughters and three
sons.
" Rejoice for a sister deceased,
Our loss le her infinite gain ;
A Soul out of prison released,.
A friend from her bodily chain.
With songs let us follow her flight,
And mount with her spirit abofe ;
Escaped to the mansion of light,
And lodged in the Eden above."

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.
