Wn understandthat a lady Of high attainments is about opening a ladies' school in this village. • WE would. beg to remind "D.S." of Ilsborne, that we never publish communication unless the real. name of the author is made known to us. Mr. B. Blair, of Kippen, has purchased the well-known Suffolk hog, recently owned by Mr. John Copeland, of Stanley.

The Canadian Illustrated News is making rapid staddes of improvement. The leggotype illuetra- tions are finer each Week, until they are nowtbut little behind the best of wood -cuts. As a liter- ary production the .Velt. Is is first class. It merits the support of all Canadians. A public meeting is celled- by hand -bills, for Wednesday evening next, for th.e purpose or er- ganizing a Union Band between Egmondville and Seaforth. This is a matter inwhich we trustour townspeople will take a. hearty interest. We hope therefore to see a large attendance- at the meeting. BOOK AND TRACT SOCIETY. ---04 Monday even- ing kat, the annual meeting in behalf of the Up- per CanadeeBible and Tract.Sogiety, was held in the Presbyterian Church, in .8eaforth. Rev C. 8. Eastman, the newly appointed agent M its be- half addressed the gathering, Which we are sorry t to say, was rather small. Other ministers made short speeches. Rev. Mr. Graham was re -appoint ed President, Mr. Hill Secretary, and Mr. Dun- can Treasurer. The Mandgieg Committee are as follows :—Messrs.'Leather.and, Wilson, Spading, Davis, and Holinested„ N. R. Adam -cm -mu Swim-v.—A meeting of the directors took place at Roes' Hotel, Clinton, on Saturday, 1st inst.; W. J. Biggins, Esq., Vice - President, in the chair. Various accounts con- nected with the last Show were examined and passed; Messt s. H. Snell and McAllister Were appointed judges of root crops, and a committee of three was'appointed to confer with a eommittee Of the South Riding Society, in regard to the propriety of holding a union ploughing match this fall. The emestion of adding mis to the list of root, crop prizes was strongly, urged by Mr. An- drews, who spoke of corn as the surest and best paying crop we had. He had raised it for forty _ years, apd never had a failure, whereamio every other crop there was an occasional failure. Be- sides this it was prepatine the around for .wheat being as good. as summer -fallowing for the soil. He thought as a general rule that it was down too late. He had sown from. the 10th to the2Oth of May, and the June frosts did his corn no harm, as it grew again. Mr. Racey recommended plas- ter as a, sure means of increasing the yield. and - 'needing from frost, as plaster enables it to retein ,eleinp and dew hours a,fter the sun is up. The ieat secret M raising corn was that the land can not be too rich. For other crops the richness' of th& manure might destroy the crop, but not so with corm—New Bra. ERRATA.- - On 'aCCOUrit of the extremely wet state of the weather at the time of the holdin of the South Huron Agricultural Soeiety's x hibition, the judges' books became, unavoidably, very much mutilated, thereby rendering the con- tents rather unintelligible, and as a consequence, the prize list as published in the Iepoeitor of last week contained a number of errors. Sine then, - however, there has been a meeting of the Direc- tors, at which thetbooks and list were carefully revised, and we now submit the corrections. They are as follows :—Two-year-old filly, David Miller, 1st prize. Thorough -bred Durham Mitch come dames Pickaxe', 1st prize. Grade mil& cow, James Tome 3rd prize. Aged ram, James Cornish, 2nd prize, Chas. Mollarde 3rd. prize. Pair fat sheep. ff. Harton, 2nd prize Barayaed fowls, James Tom, 2nd prize. Ducks, MT/ Case, 1st prize.

Seed drill, Thomson & Scruffier, Thomsoa & Willianis. Grain crusher, Alex. Thomson. Collection aof -household furniture;, let prize Eared Drew ; 2nd, John Harwood. Cabinet or- gans aud melodeons, George Pedler. Besides these, a few typographical errors erept in, none however of -any moment, though one, which. - made, what should have been, photographs, to •' read pokergraphs, was rather ludicrous. • - AINLEYVILLE. 'ACCIDENT, —Robt. Broadfoot, Esq., received some severe wounds from the bite of a hog, at the Ainleyville fair. _t seems that two hogs get to fighting, and Mr. -Broadfoot went to part them, when one of the brutes turned on him and gave Itini.severabsevere bites. ALLBTJTDJAI:—ThOS Chapman, of Ainleyville, was carried. into Dr. Peter's office for dead. It was almost a serious affair as his pulse had ceased to beat, and to all appearances the man had ceased to exist, but under the able treatment of Dr. Peters, he showed signs of life, and soon recov- ered, to a certain extent, when he was eak n :home, we hope, early to recover.

Sem- -1 Leg to call the attention �f the Street and Si(lewedk Committee of the Council to the I dangerons cendition of the walk 'between the sta- tion and Mr. Van Egmond's factory. The side- walk referred to has in several places- fallen to- ! -weeds the ditch forming-, instead of an horizon- tal, an inclined plane, at an angle. of about 45 degrees. The danger of falling while passing i along it s .great in dry weather, and in wet that : danger is heightened a hundred- per mat. I Can- not -conceive why the Commit do not have it se- 1 curely repaired by placing it filanly en spiles,high enough to ilety tile eeer recurring freshets. It has been temporarily bolstered up often enough! Let it, when taken in hand again, be permanent- ly repaired. Yours, &Ault ATEPAYEle Seaforth, Oct. 10th, 1870.
