Luckhow Markets
Never has there been such a rush
of grain to the Lucknove market, so
early in the seeson, and it ill .no Un-
common thing to daily see farmers
whet • live 15 or 20 miles away coming
with their grain.to our village. Our
elevators are thOroughly equippe,d *With
all the modern appliances for the
quick and convenient handling of
grain,.and as the. prioes paid by. our
local buyers are away ahead of any
other market in this section, it is a
profitable inVestment for farmers to
sell their grain in Lucknow. The

Another pretty .but quiet wedding
was' that of Mr. George Haley,
merchant of Hamilten street, to May,
youngest daughter of Councillor- Jas.
Colwell, • of 1:oderich. Rev. Jas-
per Wilson tied the knot at
the residence:of the bride's parents,
in the presence tif a number
of invited friends. The bride was
prettily dressed) in _white organdie,
over drop skirt of white silk, with
Spanish flounce. A wreath of orange
blossoms and boquet of white shower
roses completed the pretty costume.
'The brideimaid, Miss Tenn Lawrence,
of Lucknow, looked lovely in pink
chiffon, over drop skirt of white silk,
and carried a boquet of pink' roses.
The bridegroom's presents were a
handsome gold bracelet to the bride
and opal ring to the bridesmaid. The
groomsman was Mr. Maitland Whitely,
Newgate street. After the ceremony
was performed, Mrs. Fraser, sister of
the bride, played the wedding ruarch,
and the bridal party and about 30
wedding guests sat down to a wedding
dinner. Among the guests were Mr.
and Mra. T. Lawrence, of Lucknow,
;and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Dungannon.
Forty Teams
The high prices paid for grain and
other produce by the Lucknow buyers
is bringing the farmers here from all
parts of the counties of Huron and
Bruce. It is no uncommon sight to
see ten or twelve teams, one after, the
other, passing up the Main street on
their way to the station, but on Tues-
day last fortyiteams, all loaded with
grain and appl6s, were seen standing
at 'the 'elevators and in the station
yard. This is a record breaker and
cannot be equalled by any Other vill-
dtge in the Province. Farmers, if you
.wish to get the beet prices in the
county for your grain, &miles and all
kinds of farm produce, bring them to
Lucknow.

THE FENIAN RAID.
some Interesting Notes from the
Momorable Campaign in Goderich
Our old citizen, jbhn Emerton, has
handed the Star an eatra published in -
Godericli in' Juee, 1866 ; the day of
puelication however , is not given
'After mentioning 'the Ridgway affair
the following items referring to'Gode-
rich and vicinity are given. It will
.be noted that the gallant captain who
'threatened to sink the Fenian vessel
in the centre of Lake Huron is stili in
.the land of the living, dud able 'and
silliog to carry eut his threat of '1666
sheuld circumstances need suc-h action.
These notes will be read evith interest
by the. veterans -now living :—
On Friday information reached us
that Goderich wight, expect to be
attacked by Lake Uuring the night.
The news, of course, caused much
exciterneort. The three companies ef
Volunteers ,were I put upon active
service at once, the- home guard turned
out with guns cf all kinds, many of
which were flOsn:-Ited by Mr. J, C.
McIntosh, powder 't).s prccured wher-
ever it was to be geund,. even in the
neighboring vil‘ages; bullets cast, and
everythine done ehat wisdom could
suggest., °The Mayor had the town
bell rune on Friday night -to call the
people to arms. After the guns had
been served out Mr. Horace Horton
was chosen captaineand the men put
en patrol. The Manner in which the
people turned out item tbe neighbor-
ing country was most * creditable.
They came in nutnbers from Goderich
township, Colborne, Wawanosb, Luck -
now, and if there had been arms for
them an army of at least 5,000 men
from the county of Huron aloue oould
have been gathered. •
, At DOQD -on Friday, Constable
Trainer left town to warn the northern
domparies to get under arms. The
voluuteers answered to the .sununons
with greae alacrity iu every case, all
being eager to ito to the front.
During Saturday streng Istrricades
were thrown up at the wharf, and the
banks commanding the hatbor lined
with earthworks and orenches. 'lhe
i2 -pounder gun was got in position,
aud• let of shot, cast by .11r.
- The two CHI ranadeV beioirging to
the .town were-. taken: hold of and
placed uuder the charge of Mr. Crabb,
%Ike feels *confident,of being able to do
good execution.. •
• On Sunday !Wont 1.30 the. " Silver
Spray came ku with two infantry
cempanies under Captaius Barker and
• Daniels, and the Seuthauipton rifles
under Captain prout. The boat
immediately retdrued for the- _Paisley
infantry under Captain Brece, which
arrived in 'town ai 6 30 this morning.
Ail of these:companies are full, and
Their promptness in turning cut on
this occasion does them infinite' credit.

is also darkened, and a strong chain
stretched across the mouth df the
harbor. We are sorry to hear that
Capt. Dailey was considerably hurt
while attending to the matter.
On 'Saturday, by seine mistake in
placing the lights of the Bonnie, she
woe taken for an eneme. The Gode-
rich Rifles were on guerd at the time,
the main body being in the bowling

the bops laughed a little and walked
quitely back
We have now about 500 men und4r
arms in town.

Mr. Detlor deserves the greatest
praise 4or the exertions be has put,
forth during the. excitement. Day
and night has been at his post and
nothing has been left uudone-that he
could attend to. The members of the
eerporation and Other leading citizens
"pee wrought hard.
Major Ross, upon whoni a great
responsibility rest", has laboured with
untiring zeal, and has been backed up
ably by his officers.
The unity of feelingin town is per-
fect. Business is almost suspended,
hut we hope things will assume their
ordinary appearance before long.
