THE HURON EXPOSITOR Walton. MATRIMONIAL. --On Wednesday, April 5th, the home of Mrs. A. Simpson was the scene of one of those pleasant eveats that everybody enjoys. It was the mender of her second daughter, Mist Mary, so well and favorably known in the town of Sea - forth, to Mr. W. IL Deem, of said town. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. Forrest, of Walton, and was witnessed by a number of the relatives of the contracting kudos. The bride was assisted by her sister, Miss Annie Simpson, while the groom was assisted by his brother, Mr. A. Deem. The large number of costly and useful pres- ents presented was ample proof of the esteem in which the young couple are held by the relatives anfriends here. After the 1 ceremony all -sat down to a repast, and judging from the way the good things dis- appeared, and considering the short time since breakfast -it being 930 a. m. -the cook deserve" more than a little credit. After the rapist the newly married couple, with some of the younger and wiser friends, drove to Brussels, where Mr. and Mrs. Deem took the train for Toronto,where they purpose spending a short time before return- ing to their future home in Brantford. We wish the happy couple health and prosperity in their married Iife. STOCK Fein. -On Wednesday the last of the series of stook fairs was held at this place. On ac.eouut of its being so late in the season, a good many of the neighboring farmers were busy with their spring work and the crowd was not so large as on previ- ous occasions of the sense nature. However, there was a. large number present and the village bad quite a busy look. Fifteen head of stook were disposed of at the sale at good prices, calves going as high as seventeen dollars. Mr. Hamilton wielded the hammer in his usual satisfactory style. There was also some fine stock exhibited in the com- petition for the prizes offered. For best grade cow the prize fell to Mr. Ciliates Mc- Donald while Mr. William Dickson carried off the honors for best steer corning two, best pair of two year old steers and best pair of export cattle, Mr. M. Flannery tak- mg second in each claw. Mr. Dickson's cattle were about as fine specimens as could be found anywhere '• his prize two year old steer vras an almostperfect animal,as pretty as a picture while his two export animals bore -down ihe scales at 3,400 pounds. Mr. Flannery's were not far behind, his pair go- ing 3,2(0 lbs. Stich animals as these,the buy- er, say, would fetch 6/ cents in Buffalo but on account of the tariff fence between the two countries, the farmers who have the in- -telligenoe and pluck to keep such stock are almost linable to make it pay. There were no stallions present eligible for the prize offered, but Mr. Johnston Kinuey, of Lead - bury, had a two year old out, sired by Ran- kin, which tipped the beam at 1,550 pounds. Mr. Fisher's standard bred trotter, and elydesdale stallion, Mr. Robert Adams' "Robert Bonner" and Mr. Wm. Pinkney's • "Bonner Junior" were alio exhibited. This series of fairs has been very successful and most satisfactory to the farmers in the neighborhood. It would be a good idea if more ot these affairs were held, in fact we lee no reason why, with a little effort, every thriving village ehould not have a successful stook fair during the winter months. It will take some time and a good deal of work to get them into proper shape but there is no reason why, in this part of Ontario at least, such fairs should not be as euccessful and satisfactory as those of a similar nature held in the old country.

We're at it early and late in our Ordered Work DepartMent. The rea- son is that the garments we make are supremely well done. We have almost an embarrassing variety of Scotch and Canada Tweeds, English Worsteds, Serges, Trouserings, &c., for such work, and enough [clever workers to do a good deal of making. In brief, our stock is the very best to be hid. See the special line of $15 Suits to order—the best value ever offered ; a variety of colors and patterns to seleet Ifrom, and we make them,up in any desired style. Look them over; there are no others Like them. Fifteen dollars buys an Overcoat made to measure, that others are asking $18 and $20 for. It's a, mark that we alone touch. We also show better grades at $18, $20, $22 and $24. The widening demand for better goods in- creases the chances for effects, and the outcome this Spring is diversity with- out limit, and beauty heretofore unknown. We want s you to see our collec- tion, especially those popular goods at popular prices. THE — WELL British Grain Trade. The Nark Lane Express of London, England, of the 10th inst., in its review of the British grain trade says: " In 83 markets there has been 6d improve- ment in English wheat. The sales since the harvest have been 3,921,060 quarters, the decrease, as com- pared with last year, being due to the low prices. In consequenee of the low values wheat has been fed to stock. The imports of foreign wheat since the last harvest sinount to 8,688,427 quarters, and the itnports of flour to 4,188,415 quarters. Both the im- ports of wheat and flour show a decrease. The stocks have all decreased since January. There are 2,918,000 quarters of wheat on passage to Great Britain. Flat corn on Mark Lane is weaker; round and yellow is firmer. The stock of corn in London is 30,000 quarteneagainet 87,000 quarter. at the same time last year."
