DELAYED SCHOOL FUND. ----In a circular issued by the Education Department, dated juise 12th, the county pablic school inspec- tors were direeted to apportion the Legis- lative school grant as early as possible in June. Acting on this order the grant was apportioned on June 23rd, so that in many cases the teachers would get the grant be- fore vacation, hut, owing to neglect some- vehere, the necessary funds have not yet been received by the township treasured'. STREET IMPROVEMENTS. -During this sea- son considerable improveMent is being made oa a number of the stfeets ia town, by the town authorities, under the able manage- ment of Mr. James A. Aederson. Mr. Geo. Murray's grading machine has been called - into requisition, and has done splendid work. On East William, High and John streets the roads have been, graded, the sides leveled up and the sidewalks la4, on the oatside of the trees. This' makes thileig iraproverneut, and when the grass gronis nicely on the boulevards our streets will eot be rivaled for beenter by any town in the province. It woiald be a good idea if the . authorities %i'ould have all the etreets done in the same manner. 1 DOMINION Dan -The twen y ninth an - 1 triversary of the birth of the Dominion of Canada, whiph was celebrated' on Wednes. day last, passed over -very quietly in Sea - forth. The day, as usual, was, observed as a public holiday, and business' was pretty much suspended. The weather, althodgh warm, was clear and pleasant and netirly , every person who couid, goc out of torn. Bicycles and livery rigs were in great demand, while not a few availed themselves of the cheap rates on the railway. The principal points of attraction *ere Goderich a,nd Ba,yaeld,in both of evhich places there were celebrations and large crowds. ' A few went ta Dublin to attend a school picnic which was held there. We have no doubt but all enjoyed themeelves and came home . tired and ready for a good night't rest, but we fancy those who remained at home would be in the best shape for worh the next day. Althoegh it was aiholiday in town, it was not observed veryi much that way in the country, as most farmers were taking advantage of the fano-rat:de weather to save their hay crop. , I , __________e_e_ I Euas ear) THE N. P. -A story is told about a pod house wife in the township of McKillop, who is a strong ponseevative and a firm believer in the efficacy of Ithe N. P., and which brings to mind the stateinent of a former M. P. of the county, who, ia a speech in Parliament, teffirmed that the hens in his riding laid larger eggs and more of them, and that the cows gave richer milk and more of it since the Nationel Policy came into- eperation. Taking this atate- anent as true, it would no* seem as if the announcemeat of the aforesaid - pod house wife, that the hens of oee section, at all events, are still in sympathy with the great, political nostrum, the death knell of which was sounded on the 2:ircl of June. A few days after the election an egg 'gatherer, who is himself eorriething of a joker, called on the lady in, question to purchase from her the usual weekly supply of hen fruit :which alte was aecustorned to keep for him, but, much to his surprise, instead af receiving the overflowing basket of beautiful large eggs, to which he was accustomed, the lady brought him out a few dirty, deerepid sp_eminens in the bottom of a big pail, and, -without remark, handed then) fo him. The egg dealer, who, by the wey, is au enthusi- astic Grit, manifested his surprise on- his countenance, and not suspecting what WitS coming, asked the lady how it eves that she only had these few eggs for him. The lady, with wen asaumed scorn depicted on every feature, replied : " What did you vote for • on Tuesday ; why, even the hens are dis- gusted with what you did, and that is all they have laid since you turnik out Topper and voted against the National Policy." It is needlesi to say that Mr. Dealer took his • medicine, gooc naturedlee. only remarking that as aoon as Laurier gets in the hens will lay larger and better eggs than ever. We shall await the result with some' degree of anxiety, although; as the lady's husband is' a good Grit, there is not muoh doubt but the hens will buckle to all right again. • 0 Dearu tee Mn. J. R. Mieeera.-Many in thie county will read the following annonce- znent, which we take from the Globe of Thursday, with feelinga of deep regret and sorrow; "Mr. John R. Miller, of the legal firm of Miller it' Duncan, died early this morning, after a long illness, at his resi- dence, 810 Avenue road, Toronto. Deceased was widely known end respected in the city and through the province. Before he came to Toronto to practise law he was for some time inspectOr of public schools in Huron coupty. )1 - THE CROPS.-Fartners are now bus' engaged cutting and saving the hay o It is only an average crop, although it is good deal better tha,n last yeer, brit it being saved in fine shape, so that wh there is of it will be good. The fall whe is commencing to color, and Will be reac for the binders in a few days. The weath for it has been very favorable, and it i3 fi ing.nicely. It will, on the whole, be a lig crop, but much better than , WAS expected earlier in the season. Spring' ,grains of all kinds promise well,. in _fact, judging from present appearances there will be an im- mense crop. Oats are headed out, and al- though not so heavy on the ground in some places, will be nearly as good 4 crop as last - •• : • THE . • , not sag in summer or break in winter. The fences we eXamined are very strong, the top wire being number seven guage, and we are ! told Will stand a tensile strength of 2,000 lbs. The bottom wire is number seven guage, and will stand 1,500 lbs. •strain. The , intermediate wires are number eleven guage and will stand 1,000 lbs strain each. There are eleven horizontal wires in all• in the -fence, the combined strength of Which is 12,500 lbs. They are woven together with I16 upright wires to the rod, making it im- postible for stock of any kind, large or sinall, to spread the wires apart, and aet through, and the top wire being five f'eet ' high, no animal will attempt to jump over it. I , • • 1 FARMERS' Excel -mope -We are pleased to be able to state that Mesars. Robert Me- Mordie awl M. Y. McLean, who -were deputed to arrange for an excursion to the - Experimental farm, at uelph, under the anapices'kof the Souch Huron Farmers? In- stitute, have succeeded in making very satisfactory arrangements with the Grand Trunk authorities. It has been decided to have the excursion on Friday, July 17th. y On that day a special train, will leave Cen- p. tralia on the = south- and go by way of a Clinton, stopping at. all stations between is Centralia and Stratford. The 'rate, also, is at very favorable, and will be about one dollar at for the round trip from all stations on the ly London Huron and Bruce branch, and er about 90 cents on the Go_derich ,and Strat- 11- ford district. The train will reach Guelph ht between ten and eleven o'clock and will leave in the evening about six o'clock. This will allow ample time at the farm to enable the excursioniets to Viiew the various objects of interest there, and will also permit them to get, home at a reasonable hour. If is many years since there was an excursion to the Agricultural 'feriae from this district year. Peas are now in blooin and nev promised better at this season of the year The same may else be said of barley an flax, of which there is a large breadth 8011 er and aa it is one of the best ' and most pro- . gressive farming sections in Ontario, the d people shoeld be deeply interested in this 'n useful institution, which is peculiarly their e own, and as this exchrsion will in addition in this county now and which seems to b as profitable a crop as any: Roots are com- ing along nicely, and with favorable w.eather will be equal to hitt year's bountiful crop. Of small fruits of every kind there is an immense crop, .while the apple ,trees are weighted down with the abundance of their fruit. On the whole, the people have great reason for thankfulness, as there is now an assured abundance for _man and beast. Of course, prices -are very low, and this •will neutralize to some extent the benefits from a prolific yield. However, it is better to have a good crop with low prices than high prices with no crop.

The object of the gath- ering was to celebrate the sixtieth Miniver- sary of the marriage of Me. and Mrs. Francis Scott, of Seaforth: There mere re- presented four generations. The aged couple were present, and were among the most blithe and cheerful of the party. All the surviving. children, of Mr. and Mrs Scott were present. These are : Mrs. James Hogg, McKillop ; Mrs. John Beattie, Seaforth ; Mrs. E. Thynne, Chicago ; Mrs. Dr. McDonald; Michigan ; Dr. Scott, Robt. -and Andrew Scott, Seaforth ; George Scott, Toledo, and Francis Scott, Bluevale. There were also 'several sons and daughters-in-law, besides a 'host of grand and great-grand- children. Mrs. John Grieve, of McKillop, -who is now 87 years of nge; and who was bridesmaid for Mrs. Scott, was also in at- tendance, and.is still hale and hearty. Mr. Scott is now 85, and- Mrs. Scott 77 years of age. It is needless to say that it was a joy- ous, happy gathering. The services of Mr. Henderson, photegrapher, were brought in- to requisiteen, and a group photograph of the family,- and also a photograph of the whole company, were taken. We are sure thateMr. and Mrs. Scott's many friends will unite with TILE EXPOSITOR 'in congratulat- ing them on this unusnal and auspicious event, and in avishing them many more years of health and happiness, and that they may be permitted to spend many years yet together, a comfort to each other, and a Joy to their numerons friends. • EketolenvreLe NoTEe.-Mr. G.

This ence r along the side -road, about halft e width Mr. Scott's homestead farm, and is as nice a piece of wire fence as we have s en in the county. Mr. Scott ha,d, evide tly, taken very great pains in leveling off t e, ground, - selected good, large posts, had t em nicely peeled, and rounded at the top, nd is n painting them. The wire is str ng tigh and neatly on these posts, and he wh makes a model fence, which is not bn trong and durable, but ornamental as we nil adds materially to the appearance is fine farm. Mr. Scott also has gates he same material and pattern as the fene hese gates have metal frames, are inacle he factory where the fencing is made an re furnished ready to hang lay Mr. Willso hey are light, handsome and durable an dd largely to the effect of the fence giving a finished appearanee.

Every per - n who saw it thought it would be entirely elesa, but as the snow disappeared the nee assumed its original shape, and al- ough it has not been interfered with in y way does not seem to be any the worse, e spring coil in the wire having allowed the necessary contraction and expansion that it not deity •assurned its original ape; but not one single wire was broken. . William Henderson, also of the same ghborhood, has had a fence of this same d erected along the whole front of his mi and it looks very nice. Messrs- i eph Henderson, Robert Beattie, Solomon annon and others in the neighborhood, e more or lesh of it, and all seem to be fectly satisfied with it. Indeed, those of m whom we met are enthusiastic in ir praises of it. There is also a piece on farm of Mr. James Cowan, on the vel road, aiorth of Seaforth, which has n up for three years, and whieh is .still fectly eound, and- evidently as good as n erected.. It is woven so closely that hing can go through it, and being corn- ed of plain wires,horses Or other animals ning against it are not injured, while the ng in the wire prevents it being broken his "%My.
