Trade of the town of Seaforth have made arrangements for the holding of fairs for the sale and exchange of horses and (male. The fairs will be held on Wednesday, Jan- uary 3rd, Jauuary 31st, February 28th and Ap il 4th. Arrangements are being made bu ere both looal and from a distance! and i. to enure the attendance of large numbers of 1 ' fartiaers having animals which they desire to dispose of will find these fairs a cheap and easy methodl of dieposing of them for the very beet prices, as they will be able to se- - oure the highest figures that aotive comp: titien -will Isring. The fair held last year wasi successful and satisfactory to all, and we have no doubt but those now projected will be equally so. r • OER STORES.—A gentleman who travels all yer Canada, remarked the other day, tha there is not another town in Ontario, even twice the size of Seaforth, , that bas stores that can compare with the stores in beaforth, either for appearance or extent and; variety of stook. This, be said, ap- plied especially to the dry goods and cloth- ing houses, areoutside of the cities,the equal of Seaforth's dry goods stores can' not be found. We believe our friend is right, and purchasers throughout this and the adjoin- ing counties would do well to bear this fact in mind when desiring to make purchases. We believe eye are correot in saying that never before in the history of Seaforth have our stores been so well equipped to meet the wants of the public as they are this year and, if we can judge from appearances, the people, both far and near, know and appreoi- ate this fact. • SILVER WEDDING. —On Wednesday even- ing Mr. and Mrs: Arthur Forbes, of this town, celebrated the twenty•fifth anniver- sary of their wedding. About thirty-five relatives and friends, inch:ding some from Varna, Hills Green, Zurich and Stratford, assembled at their comfortable reaidenoe, and a right jolly crowd they were. Early in the evening a most aumptuous supper was served. The remeinder of the eveni was given over to dancing and gemes, anl old and young joined most heartily into the pleasures, in which there was no lag until tired limbs and the olook warned all that another day was approaching. Many useful and costly presents testified to the esteem in which the genial host and his good wife are held. The wish! not only of the guests, but of all their friends, is that Mr. and Mrs. Forbes may long enjoy the pleasures of life and that they may be spared to °etre brate their golden wedding. • geed Butter end fres iggs. f on Test new Fruits and all „ Lsinplete and up to date, trice r .141 DEATH OF A u: ORMER HURON-1TE. —The ()flowing paragraph, taken from a St. Pa aper, refers to a former resident of th ounty.

The reports of the secretary and treasurer show a perceptible increase in the work of the se- ciety during the past year, and the funds in the bank reach the comfortable sum of $900, with no liabilities. A large amount of routine business was transacted, among which it was decided to ask the superinten- dent of Farmers' Institutes to have placed on the list of speakers at institute meetings some one to diecuss and advocate the ques- ; tion of cjraught horse breeding, elso to urge the Minister of Agriculture to secure for registered berries the same transportation rates and privileges a are accorded other , egis ered stock. A 11 ge amount of corres- pondence was again discussed, asking the registration of animate bred in the United States and in the Canadian Northwest. It was decided again that foreign -bred animals from other stock registered with the so- .ciety can only be registered as " produce " without a number, and in the case of ani- mals in other Provinces, the pedigrees must be attested to by eworn declarations. The election of officers resulted in the old staff being again entrusted with office, an indi- catioo that the management is satisfactory. The following delegates were appointed : To Canadian florae Breeders' Association, James. Henderson and Alexandet Innes ; to Western Fair, D. McIntosh and J. E. Black - D. McIntosh. Th following were mom- !att _all ; t6 Industrial ir, John McMillan and mended to the several fairs as competent , judges on draught horses : D. McIntosh, ' John McDiarmid, James Henderson, C.
