Mr. Gibbs, as manager, has spared no exertion to render it, if possible, the most pleasing and. popn, leer one of the kind ever, given Seaforth, Among the rattsicians who take part in 'the contert we may mention the names of Miss McDonald, Miss Campbell, find other popular honie talent, assisted by Mr. Stevenson, Miss Stevenson Mr. Newton, Miss Holmes, and Miss Bay, of Clinton and neigh- boring towns. Miss Lizzie Powell and Little Inez La Mont, the wonderful child of song, only eight, years old, will aid greatly to the rouged enter, tainment. To say that the costurae and scenery prepdred for the tableaus is bewitifta will mit feebly express its appearanen. The magnificent pie -tare of 'Min DAY SiJoaTs rs Ainnitin ENG- rann " and' the touehingly beautiful tableau of "The Angers Whisper" are alone worth more than the ptiee of admission, which is placed at the low fiirtire of 25- cents. Itis hoped that this home en- tertoinment will:receive the patronage it merits.

Carter, of this village, have commenced the erection of a large salt block. This block is being constructed on the Carter property, on the south aide Of the railway track. The brine will be supplied from the Sperling well also learn that ..Mr. Marshall, the proprietoe of th" Red , Mill'," has completed arrangeme ts for the erection of works on his prperty, adjoining the m41. We believe Mr. Marshall does not intend to sink a well at present, but will get his supply of brine from the well of the Merehants' Company. THE SCIENCE OF BILL- POSTING. —The cardinal ganef the village boy Of the pm riod is his penchant for tearing down bills. *This particular form of vice Mani- fests itself in the male infantat a very tender age, and does not cease t exert its baneful influence over him until he is well advanced. in his teens.' Many plans have been adopted or ,proposed to eradicate this mania from the youthful mind. For instance, the local newspaper, at stated intervals, has solemnly warped. and. threatened; -ctilprits found. in the commission of the, overt act have been arrested and. initialled, and it has also - been proposed to hitve a Twelfth Com.. mandment, "Thou shalt not tear down, posters," taught in all Sunday Schools. But all these have failed to effect the de- sired. result. The freshly posted bill, with its startling antiouncements, has not become in the smallest degree mere sacred to the village youth on account of these pains, penalties or precepts.We do not conae forward, at present, with any new scheme for the prevention ot this grievous and dangerous crime. We fear it is too firmly, rooted in the juvenile mind to be removed. by any plan we could suggest for working upon and quickening the juvenile conscience. What We want to protest against just. now, is the way in which merchants and others aid and encourage the boys to tear down their own bills by the flimsy and imperfect manner in -which they post them' up. •How seldom' Minstrel bills or show bills are torn demi. There are circus bills on fences and learns* arouud town and throughout the ptiucipal coun- try thoroughfares that have kept their places for months, and are lieely to keep them until the next circus man comes along and covers them over. • This is be- cause they were properly posted. . The show. men understand the science of bill -posting. When the average mere chant or tradesman gets his posters froni' the printer, he sends his shopboy around_ to stick them up. The shopboy, when he don't throw away the bills entirely, is extremely careful tu paste the centre of the sheet securely to the wall, but he rarely fells to leave a corner hangine loose, so that the first juvenile who comes clays, and that his medicel attendants along may have a good handle to tear it have but slight hopes of his recovery., CHANGE OF Glaton.----The change of smarm, on the Buffalo and Lake efiuron. Branch. of the Grand Trunk, between Stratton -1 and Goclerich, was effected on Sunday lase. The switch tracksshai all been • changed on Saturday, and the spikes for the inside of the rail on the new guage ilriven in, so that the only work which temain,ed to be done oteStin- day was to loosen the rails on the main track; remove them to the new bed and spike dem firmly in their plates. 'The first narrow guage car passed over the road en Sunday afternooia, about half - past 5 .O'clack. No THOEOUGHFIE.E. --- It was bad enough, a fee/ weeks ago when the school-. boys monopolized the SideliralkS to play marblee on, but now that, every evening, "children of larger growth" are pre- empting Mairestreet to play balrin, we feel celled upon to protest. Is there no country road or vacant lot in the out- skirts where these athletic youths may inoffensively practice their manly sports? If they can't find any better place than Main street to develop their Muscles and. get rid of their surplussenerey, they had , better go home and go to sawing wood ie the back yard• .

THE FGErXDRY Soete—The foundry preperty in Seaforth .was brought under the auctioneer's hammer on Monday last. The upset price was $2,700, but not be- ing able to ebtain that sum for it, -it was .withdrawn. The property was afters wards disposed of by private bargain to Mr. Thomas Foster, for the sum of 52,600. Mr. Foster intends increasing the plant of the establishment and: carry- ing on the bueiness as men he can get his arrangements to do soi completed. PE,IISONAL.—We believe that Mr. De - Cosmos, one of the British Columbia M. Ps, was in town on Monday last. He was on his way to Clinton, to visit Mr. Lowe. — The many friends of Mr. William Marconi, eage merchant of this village, will regret to learn that he has been prostrated from severe illness for several down by.. Or, he is careful to select as a place for posting a wall with large cracks, so that the enterprising bill -des- troyer may have no trouble in.. splitting up and tearing off the poster, in frag- ments to suit his taste. -Thus it is that neuch .of the money spent by advertisers in. the use of printers' ink is'thrown away. -Let every man who advertises by posters or hand -bills remember that in their proper posting up and distrib- utina lies melee' than half their efficacy. We "'fully believe in- the modern ren- dering of the old saw, " He who would thrive must advereise," but would add, if you advertise in' a newsioaper, choose • a good mechum ; if by handbills Ser post- er& personally elver in teud their circu lemon and posting. Tlie (itrey Tragedy. - It is our painful deter this week to re- cord the sad 'details of a tragedy, in which a mother drowned• three of- her own children: • It appears that Dorothy Ridley, wife of Joseph Ridley, who lives on Lot 29, Con. 3, Grey, had been for SOMC time past in a melancholy state of mind, and at times showed signs of in- sanity. She was at home on Thursday, 1st May, as usual. Her husband wes • mit on the farm, ancl two of the children had gone to school. During the fore- noon she.took her youngest child, a boy thremyears old, and went to . the'school- house, a distance of three-quarters of a mile te where -the other two children, girts, one six and" the other aboetstwelve $ years old. were at school.

Dr. Coleman was allowed the timber on 8th and 9th con. line, from lots 31 to 35 inclusive, provided that he shall grub the road 16 feet wide in the centre of swains, and clear the whole road. The following a,ccounts were or- dered to be paid : Joseph Kidd $8 74, for lumber, certified by the pathma,ster ;, Donald McGregor $71, for services as asseeeer and stationery ; Samuel Stnith $3 50, for surveying side line 15 and 16 con. line; the Reeve $8 50, for expenses to Goderich and postage. James'Kenn gle between the insane mother and the ,ehird child, a girl of twelve years, she 'being old ehough to make a strong resis- ta,nce. One Bennett, who was returning home along the road, when crossing the bridge, a short distance from the sad scene, saw the woman and child in the water, strugglitig together. Insteecl of goina to render any assistance, he very foolishly ran off to the next Leigh- bor's house, whibh was about half a mile distant, to get help, and . on return- ing, the mother had accomplished her ob- jeet, and the three children were dead! When Bennett and his assistanoe arrived the insane woman was still in the 'water, and had drifted some few rods down the river to a jam of brush, where, in •a very short time, she would have been drowned too, for when 'taken from the wafer she was quite insensible. On the mother and the eldest girl being teken out and brought home, the othetchildren were at once missed, and search was made for them; ,when in a short time they were both discovered a few rods below where the mother had been taken from the water. On parties going to the house a slate was found on the table with the following written upon it, "There is no one to litame for my. „actions, only, mY own bed management ; I have a good kind husband ; farewell, dear Joseph and my poor children." It seems that she .had attempted before to try and get the children to go to the river witli her. One, night she tarted, and. the children, with --• Exeter.
