Brassels and Blyth shows this fall. For one of these foals the handsome sum of WO was offered, and refused, as the owner wanted more rnoney.

A re- quest for a rebate of taxes, on the Odd - fellows' building was referred to the court of reviaion to report on at next meeting, of council. An application from D. D. Wile son for a rebate on water taxes for water used in his egg emporium was referred to the fire and water committee, to be report- ed. on and considered at the next meeting. The time for collecting special taxes was extended until next meeting. The account of Thomas Govenlock on rent for house - occupied by Mrs. Shea, amounting to $25, was passed for payment. Accounts to the amount of $449.97 were alSo passed for payment. isrEuron. Foterr.—Mr. A. Cardno, of this. towo, has just received a circular from Mr.' Fred Pritchard, a large apple dealer in Montreal, and also a heavy exporter. The circular deplores the present collapse of the apple market. in England, but accredits this collapse to a great extent to the quality of fruit that is beine shipped. A number of shippers are in tlie habit of shipping scabby aad other inferior fruit, which is really worthless as a marketable apple in' the mar- kets of England. The stability of the mar- ket depends ahnost entirely on fruit being only of the first quality, and in shipping anything else shippers are not only injuring themselves financially for the present, but are ruloing the hitherto high reputation held by Canadian fruit in the old country markets. • Toasieseivise SEuvress.—The Harvest Thanksgiving services were held in St. Thomas' church on Suoday last, and were very largely attended, The church was tastefully decorated with the fruits of the garden and field, and Rev. Alfred Brown, of Paris, preached two very forcible and effect- ive sermons. The choir, which has been considerably strengthened lately, took their parts very well. The anthem in the morn- ,ing, " Rejoice in the Lord," and the chant- ing of the psaltne in the evening were well done. Mr. Freemantle sang a tenor solo in the evening, which stamped him as one of the best singers who have come to Seaferth for some time. The collections for the day were in a,n-swer to the circular letter issued by the wardens, to raise funds for a furnace, and amounted, in cash and pledges to pay, to over $225, with some families to hear from yet. - • DEATIf OF A Puoerixtater SCOTOII MAN.— We learn from the Kirkcudbrightshire Ad- vertiser, of Scotland, dated September 18th, of the death of Alr. Wm. Rain, of Aliefield and Kempletou farms, Mr, Rain was a cousin of the late Mr. Robert H. Carnochan, of Miefield farm, Tuckersmith, and was, nO doubt, wen known to many of the older residents in this vicinity, who hailed from Kirkcudbrightshire, and a few particulars concerning him may be of interest to them. Mr. Rain., although in his day a very strong and robust mau, had been failing fast for two or three years, although his death wee not due to ant- particular ailment, but sim- ply to a gradual wearing out of a once rug- ged conatitution. The remains were inter- red in TwyrrhoIm churchyard, and thus he sleeps his last sleep in the village where he was born and where he lived all his life, and :from his grave earl be seen the house where he first saw the fight of day. The Adver- tiser says I,a the passing away of Al r. Rain the valley of the Tarff has lost, its old- est representative, and one of its most prominent. and successful agrietilturists. Although it may not have been generally titnown, Raia sprang from the Miefield _ Hallidays, and therefore it must have been 0. pecoliar pleasure to him when some years . ago he was in a position to become land- lord of the old place the long narrow strip leading up from the'Tarff,away northwards, having in its centre, so to speak, the Dhu Craig, and the old house itself, where the Hallidays dwelt in covenanting times. Mie - field, as is well known, carries a superior fiock of black faced sheep, and under Mr. Rainls fostering care the annual crop of lambs have been always eagerly competed for and, unless we are mistaken, have this 1 ' t Tear topped the:market. When we meo- tion, that In addition to his own farm of Kempleton and the pastoral farm' of Mie- fieldj he also rented extensive grazings - in ,the district, reaching frcm the isle of Kirkil cudbrightito the policies of Callye 'and kep on the whole to the end, it will be seen. that Mr. Rain was no ordinary man. He waii ft shrewd observer, a diligent student 1 ever thing pertaining to his business,. love • of the a,nimals of the farm, and alway strit ing to have each of its kind of the veil best Air. Rain was never married,. .ant live( a secluded life, but he had always kin welcome for his friends.

Stevenson moved into the nice new residence this week which had been built for him during the summer. —Qar teachers,' have for soma time, been taking a very effective way of obtaining regular attendance and checking truancy.

This method entails some extra work on the teachers but as, it works well so far they find, themselvea amply rewarded.—Alr.

The day was fine, a little cold., hut this did not prevent the keenest of compe- tition and the strongest rivalry among the various contestants, and each event, from those for the small boys to the ones far the big fellows, was hotly contested. The win- - ners in each event were given points accord- ing te their standing, andto the winner of the most points a silver medal was " hung up." This coveted prize was won by Mr. Allan Bond; who ilecured 29 points ; with Mr. Douglas Wilson a close second. It was1 a splendid day's outing for the boys, and we are sure they will enter into their studies with all the more vigor for their outing, and should they display as much ardor for those mental attainments as they did for the physical ones, some brilliant students will be turned out at our Collegiate. We would,. however, advise the boys to have these games a little earlier pa the season, ,when the weather is more apt to be favor- able for such pastimes. The following is a list of the winners in the differenttevents : Putting the shot, A. •Bood, AlcTaggart ; running long jump, A. Bond, D. Wilson ; running long jump (junior), 0. Lynch, W.

Hill • A.Hammett; water race, A. Bond, D. Wilson. In the evening an entertainment was given in the assembly room of the sehool. This part of the day's programme was entirely in the hands of the young ladies of the school, and they deserve unbounded praise for the ex- cellent manner in which they did their part. The room was nicely deoorated with flags and ample boughs ; while the young ladies theinselves acted as ushers. Long before the programme was • begun the spacious rooln was crowded, so that even standing room was at a ,premium. The programme was an excellent one and it is not often we have such a treat in 'Seaforth ; fadt which we Should also be proud of is that the en- tire programme wasprovided by local talent. It was composed as follows : Instremental, Daly orchestra ; reading, T.McQuaid ; vocal doh), W. Hays ; recitation, Mrs,. J. C. Greig ; vocal solo, Mr. Freemantle ; cello solo, Miss D.

Bright presented the other prizes and badges. ' FAEMING. — The October number of " Farming," an agricultural magaeine, pub- lished in Toronto, is to hand and is a partic- ularly intereseing number. It contains 'portraits of many of the prize a.nimals at the recent show., It has an excellent article on , " Land Drainage," by Mr. Thomas Mc- Millan, of Hullett, and a portrait of the three year old shorthorn bull, " Abbots- ford," the property of Messrs. H. and W. Smith, Hay, in this county. This fine aoi- mal is well deserving the distinction given him. This year he won first' place in his class art Toronto ; also heading the Short- horn herd winning second prize at the same show. At London, Abbotsford was first in his class and winner of the sweepstakes prize, and he also headed the first -prize herd. Among the other contributors to this number are Professor John A. Craig, au Ontario boy and a graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College, who new holds the position of Professor of Animal Husbandry, in the Unieversity of Wisconsin, at Madison; . Mr. Alexander Galbraith, Secretary of the American Clydesdale Association, a svell known authority on horses • Mr. William Rannie,of the Ontario Agricultural College, and others.

His meetings here have, on the whole, been very encouraging. They were well attended and the interest has been well maintained throughout and they will no doubt result in creating renewed interest in the workings of this excellent institution, and particularly so in the minds of the young men, in whose interests, especially, it is conducted. Mr. Rodgers is an earnest an enthusiastic worker in the good cause ; he is also a good speaker and an excellent singer and is in every way admirably adapted for the work he has in hand. His meeting this evening will be his, closing meeting here. The song service -will be led by prominent vocalists and the meeting throughout will be interesting and profit- _ able, and will, we trust,be largely attended. No young man can spend an evening more profitably, nor in a manner that will give him more satisfaction afterwards, than- by attending this meetingli All will be made welcome. A special thank effering is asked at this meeting to assist the board in duly recognizing its obligation to the executive committee for Mr. Rodgers' services, which have thus far been rendered gratuitously. • OF THE LONG AGO.—We have been shown a daguerreotype picture of a portion of Main street, Seaforth, taken over thirty years ago, and which reminds one forcibly, not only of the flight of time,but of the great changes which take plamain what seems, to look back, only a ,briet period. This picture belongs to Mr. Robert Carmichael, and shows the old frame hotel, on the corner of Main and Goderich streets, which he occu- pied at that lime, and which stood on the site of the present Royal hotel. Next to it is a small frame building, bearing on the sign, " J. R. Ross, groceries and liquors," and adjoining it, to the south, is a still smaller building with a sign,a" Boot and shoe shop." This was occuPied by Mr. -Robert Willis, and is where he first launch- ed his business craft, and we daresay he is about the only business man of that d y who is still actively engaged in busin ss here. A short distance south of Mr. Willis' shop is another large frame building, but the letters on the sign are not distinguis - able, so we c,a,n not say who occupied it. a the opposite'corner from the hotel, whe e Campbell's block now is, there seems o have been a lumber yard, as there a e gates, boards, shingles and cedar.posts pil d up in promiscuous confusion. We noti e that noble and useful animal, the' pig, w s a free commoner in those days,as the pictu e shows several specimenS around the corn r on the street. The remainder of Ma n street is not shown. • Loee a • ButErs. —Mrs.. W m.
