A NEW SCHEDULE.—On the third page of this paper is ,.published a new schedule of advertisina rates, which went into effect on Mar% 1st. SinCe the old rates were ,fixed, the ExiTosrron has twice been enlarged, and has trebled its circulation, yet we have given our customers the full benefit of these advantages free. The advance at this time will be found .to be very slight. The value of the medium con- sidered, our rates will be found much lower than those of any paper in this district, without exception. The Ex- Posrrok, has, on a very conservative estirnat, over 20,000 readers every week, and has a larger circulation in the Counties of Huron and Perth than any other two papers published in this County.

SAVED HER CHILD. -7-The Mr, Smith re- ferred to in -the following paragraph, which we take from the Key City Graphic,of Port Townsend, Washiagton Territory, is a former Seaforthite, being e, gen of Mrs. Smith, of Sperling Street. His wife is also from this district. The para- graph says : " On Thursday night last, Rob- bie, the little five-year•old son of Superio- tendent William Smith, of the Bishop ranch milk depot, had an almost miraculoue escape from death. He was playing with a round tin whistle and swallowed it. He choked, fell on the floor and turned black in the face. His mother, as a last,deoperate effort, thrust her fingers down the little fel- low's throat, and after a powerful struggle, which only a mother to save her child could put forth, succeeded in dislodging and drawing the whistle from the wind -pipe, where it had become fixed and the parte rigid. Nearly a cupful of blood followed the operation, chiefly flowing, doubtless, from the laceration. The little fellow seems to be all right now. His deliverance from a horrible death is but anoeher exemplification of the decision and preeence of mind of a mother."

His fine herd of short -horns are doing splendidly this winter, and he says his sales thus far have been very satiefactory, but Mr. Russell is oae of the fortunate breeders who have succeeded in establishing a continental repu- tation for his stook, and as a result buyers come to him and pay him his own prices. This is but the legitimate reward of enter- prise and skill. Hills Green.
