Wednesday, June: 30, 10 a.m. Forecast for 24 hours, for Ontario—Mode- rate tofresh wiuds, mostly southerly to w es- terly ; fine hot weather, NEw POTATO) s.e•-Last Saturday good- tiized new potatoes retailed here at $2 a bushel, At this price they become much more a luxury than an article of necessity. Coxvierroxs.—•The number of convic- tions made by magistrates here for the quarter ending 9th of June, were 11, Sea - forth 6, while Goderich had 44. • C. M. S, S. Pe:enc.—The annual picnic in connection with the Methodist Sabbath School of this place, will be held at Godo- rich, on 21st Mat, Reduced fares will be given. • FESTIVALS,— The strawberry festival, held at the residence of Mr, McTaggart, was not as largely attended as anticipated, doubtless owing, to the rain in the after- noon. The festival given a couple of days previously by the Young Ladies of the O. M, Church, was only fairly attended. 12TH or JULs,—We learn . that Clinton Orange•Lodge, and possibly .others in the neighborhood, will take part with the Or- angemen of Perth in celebrating the 12th inst., at St. Marys ; . to which place they will proceed by the morning train, the fare, for the round trip being placed at the low figure of 65 cents. GrrTitte ALONG. ---We learn, that • the young men from Tuckersniithi_who about a year ago went out to Dakota, are getting along well ; in their midst•they have a store, blacksmith shop, post office, etc.and al- though some distance from a. rail,way, one, is expected to run near their property this summer ; their crop prospects . are excel- lent. Dior ir.—Some persona are occasionally in the habit of carrying away the Clinton NEW Etta and Seeforth Expositor from the Mechanics' Institute reading room. Who- ever the parties are,theyshow good j'udg- ment by taking two very good papers, but the Secretary of the Institute would;muoh rather they discontinued this way of get- ting their et-ting:-their home reading. • a temporary work -shop while his new build - mg is completed, and has again commenced the manufacture of waggons, etc. No Di.—At present this town does not possess a braesband, although not a,. great while since it had two excellent eves. £'here are a number of'firet class musicians here, and we believe that if a little effort wore put forth, one could be organized and soon be in playing order. Messrs. •McPherson, Glasgow Co., of Fingal, have sold more threshing machines this season than during any previous year Educe they commenced business. For the next six weeks they will be shipping.at the rate of ten cars per week;—St. Thomas Journal. [Just about the same might be said of the firm here.] PREsnsmatioste—Qs. Thursday -evening last, the pupils of Mr: Taylor's department of the Model School,•' met -him at his .lodg- ings and presented hint with a' handsome silver napkin ring and a very flattering address. Mr. Taylor .was completely ta- - ken:by-surprise, but• having :resnmed_his.. gravity, he made a lengthy and appropriate reply., The little folks then betook them- selves • to the lawn, where they 'spent , a very pleasant evening in all kinds of juve nilegames THE CRUPB. W j do not. suppose sectidn ofcu ltry iu-thewhole.Doamhei nie= ion that can boast of better crop prospects this year than the county of Huron. From all quarters come thereport that they are simply' Magnificent, -could ' not be better, andere-uninjured by anything. Of course, theye yet subject to the uncertainties -of .the weather, but experience has shown .that. when they are safe at this time of the year, they do not suffer :materially later, except wheat, which may be affected by rust.; BUSINESS. -While. many cometo town during. the week, the., majority of farmers appear to be forming the habit of doing their business on:Saturday ;' at least we judge so by the very large number that have visited Clinton for some time, past on that day, Last Saturday wasan exceedingly. busy one for thebusinees men; and in tho even- ing the streets were literally black with. .people;: giving the' town an . unusually an-- imated appearance, which . we hope it may often expecteace again,atn, and the, p robabili- • ties are in its • favor. • BENEL ITS of ADVERTISING.—A person of this neighborhood recently advertised his 'farm to rent.' After it -had. -been tri only once, ho requested its :withdrawal, having far more applicants for'it than ho • had anticipated,. beinn almost, pestered P ,.. • to death with them,".ho said. `rhis-shdws the benefits of advertising.' We 'know' several instances of farniere privately sell- ing their farms, which, had they: advertised, letting:it be known they were. for sale; would have brought'from one to five hun- dred dollars more. Advertising always pays., REDUCING ItninhSENTATION. While some members of the Stratford: town coun- cil want more wards created, a movement is on foot in the London city council to re dues thi3 numbs r of wards from' seven to four. If the Stratford wards were equal- ized, end •the representation cut down, giving one counciller for each, • instead of" two as at present, it would be a sensible move, and the business of the town would be'done much more speedily and economi- tally.—Beacom. [This question wasagitat- ed here some time ago, ;but eventually dropped, although we believe it will be brought up again, .. There appears to be a movement all over the 1Irovce, to re- duce,the nuin number. of couneillors in 'f'owns and there are very few,but will admit that one.or two representatives in`, each ward, where a place has three or more wards, is. quite sufficient to transact all fiusinees sa- tisfactorily. • Mlltnay.ovs Esc.£ rE.-On Saturday last Mr. Sam. Wilson, an employee of S. Davis, nret witir an-amcident;-•which, though -not, attended• with serious results, was remark- able for hie hairbreadth escape. lie was engaged in repairing the soda water foun- tain of Mr. P. Robb, which had been tarn- ed Upside down on the counter for the purpose. Mrs. Robb, 'having occasion to; go down cellar; oponeda trap door for that purpose, situate close to where Wilson was working, but •apparently forgetting the danger, he stepped into the opening, and feeling that he ' was •going down, caught, hold of the fountain, pulling it off, and both went down the cellar together. Mr. Robb immediately followed, expecting to find him either killed or very seriously in. jilted, but fortunately he was neither, The fountain, in falling, had struck the stairs and glanced off, breaking the'marblo on two sides of it, and one of the taps; it struck QV ilson' on the head and back, eaueing a couple of unpleasant bruises ; had it fallen on him it would in all proba- bilitey have killed him, as it weighs about 200 denude, CHANGE IN THE. MONEY ORDER SYSTEM, —A very important change has been made in the drawing of Post Office Orders, for payment in the United States.: Hereto- fore, when an order was made payable at any place, the postmaster Melting the or- der, had to draw it out and forward it to the head office in.•the State where it was payable, when it was from there forwarded to the nearest money 'order office to the party for whom intended. For instance, if a person here wiahed to forward an or- der to some place 'in Michigan, the post- master here would need to send a notice to that effect to Detroit, and the postmas- ter there would forward itas above stated. Now, all Canadian postmasters.are furnish- ed with a list of money order offices. in the different States, on which orders may be drawn.;. The .rate of commission' bas also been reduced ; formerly no charge was made less than 25 cents; now the rates aro $10, 10 cents ; feel -11810,k, $20, 20c ; $20 to $30, 30o ; $30 to .$40, 40e, $40 to $50, 50c. CENTENNIATe SUNDAY SCHCoi, SERVICES IN THE B.C. Ott aolr.—One'hundred years have elapsed since Robert Raikes establish- ed Sunday schools; in Gloucestershire•, England. Small was the beginning, great have been the results... Happening to -visit a pin -factory one day; this christian phil- anthropist was deeply and painfully -ini- pressed'at the sight of the filth and depra- vity of the children whom he saw in the streets ; on mentioning the matter to a gOod woman, she informed hint' that . on Sundays, -when the factory was closed, the streets swarmed. with anch,little wretches, whose vile speeches and' actions suggested the idea of Bell rather than any other place. After much careful thought, lie determined-, to employ four women to teach as many of those.lit•tle,wretches as he. could persuade to .come.• . Repaid the•women lspiir day.

Rumball, of Goderich township, baa pur- chased the frame house, and lot of Mr. D.,. A. Aikenhead, on Isaac street, for $700. DIVISION COURT. --A sitting of this court was held on Tuesday, before Judge Squier, lasting all day. A number of cases were disposed, of, several being by jury, In- stead of the ,principle of resorting to law growing " beautifully lees," there appears to be A disposition to invoke its aid in settling some of the most,trivial matters. 1tuN4w.ta ACOIDEr1T.—On the .evening of Tuesday Mr. Dan. McDonald, of Gode- rich, accompanied by his sister, left here for a drive in Tuckerstnith.'. `While pro- ceedin_on•their -way, the horse took fright. at•a pile of wood, and ran away, pitching. thew out, somewhatbruiaing Mr. McDon- ald, severely spraining Miss McDonald's ankle, and inflicting a number of bruises, besides breaking the buggy. ' FLAT.—If it were not that the town counoil•ocoasionally meets in Goderich, we .do not know what the papers' there would do for .news, To judge from them we Should infer that there is absolutely and literally nothing going; on, business Mao appearing to be almost at a standstill.

Mr. Snider, late station agent at Elora, has been appointed to; the vacancy caused by the intended removal of Mr. Railton, to London ; Mr. Snider has been in town for a couple of days; getting acquainted with the people, but will not assume the dutiesof hisnew position for a short time. A GOOD ,'FARMER AND Gaon FARMING Papers; that support the 'N. P: never lose the opportunity,; when noticing any tui provement ortncreese in tjie business of manufactures," to credit the N.P. with it, r g sf forgetting that what the e 'a l y manufacturersarnt always gain by it the other portions of the•comm eitylose, so that the country isno gainer. by its enactment. But in the, case we are going- tocellattention' to, it quite the reverse, for in spite of the N.P., which' to this 'gentleman, • who': resides in Huron, as well as all, ' iu of Hu a the. South Ri d g. , other; f arnnies, it is an additional :burden, he has gone . on improvinghis farm and stock and "increasing the amount of his produce. Having thoroughly learned the lesson that • good and profitable farthing depends upon having or making good land, well drained, properly ploughed, g . cod -seed, `sowed an season, kept entirely free front weeds, 'and everything else around the farm attended to with judgnient; his farm,therefore, wills no duubt; beexpect- ed to be a rmodel farm, which it undoubt- edly 1s.—To get -it -clear.: and' keep it free. from .weeds, he has expended a great amount of labor,,and.practisesthe greatest care against the introduction of 'obnoxious seeds: Whenever a visitor .takes a horse on to his -place he is careful :to have:: all its droppings put in a separate place, ' and whatever seeds they may oohtain allowed to germinate,where they lie, the destruo-. tion of which is then easy. Also,'if any visitor 'should take with hum oats with which to feed his horse, he is politely re- quested to keep,. the bag tied while on the farm, and ktndlylnforfned':that he will be supplied with all the oats his horse will require. As he well knowsthat good farming also. requires constant change -of seed, he spares no reasonable expense .in from distant oobtainingsuch frequently, f r farms, and to avoid •introdncing weeds, he picks the whole over by hand, 'after clean- ing it.by_the fanning mill as thoroughly as possible. This is not as difiiccult as' some would . suppose, es he only gets a small portion at once, and increases the quanti- ty by re -sowing. , Withregard to his stock he is equallyas•careful, and labors to bring them to perfection as early as possible. He • shows' that : he understands his buei- nese, and intends to make the most pos- sible nut Of `�% nit -gentleman is -not only a mod land successful farmer, but a thoroughgoing temperance man, end op- h�onent df all means of gainingwealthother en/bey industry, prudence and economy. Although a temperance man, he believes `i paying hotel keepors for whatever he �reeoives from them, and never goes to Market without getting` his meals at the regular hour, no matter whet place 'he is in.' What ono man• -can be and do another wenerally can, and as this gentleman• is orthy of imitation we hope `many will follow his examplb, and then we shah not hearse many exclaim that fanning don't pay. ..

OUR AineuaNICS' INSTITUTE'.—WC un- derstand that the Ontario Government has' abolished the local Inspectorshtps "of the Mechanics' In'stitutos thoughout the Pre= vince. The .reason assigned is that irregu- larities of various' Riede has crept in, and also. that •many of the Institutes are "in a sort of half-dead, half.alive state. Dr. May, of Toronto, is appointed• by the,Minister+of Education to visit all the Institutes and re- port on their eflibicncy,he is also required to ask' for suggestions• art to the beet means of "getting• up a revival." Itis proposed to change the name' for one more suitable. It is also proposed to make the Institutes feed - era for the Agricultural College, the School of Arts,&c.,andget lecturers' to teach classes on the branches required, illustrating the • subjects with scientific apparatus. Reading, writing, arithmetic, c c, will bodispensed ed with as it is thought that the primary branches should be taught by night schools in oonnection'with'our High Schools, the Government having a large .sum -Of money to expend for educational purposes. Di- plomas will be granted, if this plan is adopt- ed, to those who passa satisfactory exami- netion on the branches taught, and these. diplomas will admit them into the Govern.,. ment institutions already nntned. It is also proposed to hold annual conventions consisting of• thepresident and secretaries of all the Inatitutes inn Ontario 'Th alf fare tickets will be procured for the delegates, and an interest will be created in the In- stitutes. Travelling tickets can also be N- etted tothese visiting other towns and cities, which will admit to the various Institutes wherever they inay go.
