ity. Parties wishing to raise good styl-

TICE T ELEGRAM. —We are in receipt of
a new evening paper called the Telegram.,
recently started in Toronto. This paper
is published by Mr. J. Rose Robertson,
of the late Toronto Telegraph.. The new
paper is a model of typographical neat-
ness, and is ably and spicily conducted.
It will, no doubt, have a harcl row to hoe
to gain a subsistence lin the face of such
powerful opposition as it has to contend
with, but if there is: any go to it, Mr.
Robertson is the mari to make it go. It
is neutral in politics eo far.
SPRING. —For the past week we have
been enjoying beautiful, balmy spring
weather. The roads are drying up nice
ly, and although yet rough are mnch im-
proved. The frost is ell out of the ground
and farmers in this section are busy plow-
ing and sowing. The land is in excellent
order, and if it will only keep dry for a
couple of wee,ke the: spring seed will be
, got in in good condition. We are sorry
to notice that the fall wheat is not likely
to turb out as well as it promised in the
spring. Much of it has been killed out,
and farmers are forced to put other seed
in the ground. An Occasional field here
and there looks pretty well, but these are
exceptional. _
•
BASE BALL MEEersa.--The annual
meeting of "The Star Base Ball Club,"
took place at Powell's Hotel, on Satur-
day last. There was a large attendance
• of members. The following were elected
• officers for the ensuing year: Dr. Cole-
man, Patron; 11. W. C. Meyer, Presi-
• dent ; John Curry, Vice President, D.
Hogan, Secretary and. Treasurer; Field
Committee'Andrews!, Boland, and Klink -
hammer ; Finance Committee, *Curry,
Scott, and Baird. The club requires about
$120 for club uniforms, rent of ground,
and levelling ground. We trust there-
• fore that the inhabitants of Seaferth will
assist liberally in giving subscriptions
this year, which they as townspeople
should do, as the club have now two silver
• cups, which will no doubt be competed
• for by many clubs M the Province, at
Seaforth, and as there will be no turf or
• cricket club in SeafOrth this year, sub-
• scriptions are expected to be liberal to
the club, whith has,eut of twenty games
• played at Seaforth, never sustained a
• single defeat. Subscriptions can -be hand-
• ed to the Secretary or any one of the Fi-
• nance Committee;
THE LICENSE COMMISSIONERS.—The
License Commissioners in South and
East Huron have about completed their
duties in 80 far as granting licenses are
cOncerned. The list of those who have
received licenses in - each riding will be
seen elsewhere. The Commissioner& have
had. an extremely difficult and. disagree-
able task to perform; but we believe it
is the general opinion that in each riding
the decisions have been honestly and fair-
ly given, and that while some may have
cause to complain of hardship, none can
• accuse the Commissioners of partiality -or
unfair treatment. In the South Riding,
• of 60 applications for hotel licenses only
49 were granted, and in the East Riding
out of 45 applications only 27 licenses
were granted. Jt is a remarkable fact
that in the whole of the East Riding there
are only_ two licensed shops, more than
• this not havipg been applied for. • We
notice that in the South Riding the Com-
missioners have passed - a resolution re-
quiring hotel keepers to close their bars
at 10 o'clock each night, and keep them
dosed until 6 o'clock in the morning. It
seems to us that such a resolution is
scarcely consistent with the object for
which hotels are licensed, viz.: the ac-
commodation of the travelling public. If
they will remodel their resolution so as
to make it apply only to local hotel cus-
tomers, and allow travellers and bOarders
the use of the bar after that hour no
fault could be found with it.. We are
inclined' to think that this- is what the
Commissioners had in view although
their resolutio s not make. it so ap-
pear, and that at their next meeting they
will so ameni3 i4las to • mane it meet
public requireinents

THE FIRE B toeuE.---Th Seaforth
Fire Brigade, acre mpanied. by heir band,
turned out for parade and praictice, with
the - engine, on Monday ev ning last.
The company :presented a emarkably
neat, active and Orderly eppe ranee, and
with the band th* procession 'ade a dis-
play imposing I a4c1 creditab e to the
town. The new hand engine was in ex-
cellent order, and was thoro ghly test-
ed. It worked tgli the entire atisfaction
and admiration beth of the fi emen and
those who witneseed its oper tions. It
works easily, thrt3.ws a large volume of
water, and higheienough to reach the
highest pinaele of any buildin in town.
It was generallerdmitted by those who
t
saw it working, that they had never seen
a hand engine d , better, an that its
'powers are_amplet for the• r uirements
of this townt letOw that the re protec-
tion apparatus of. the town s so com-
plete and sat.sfaCitory, the at object
should be to keit') the brig de in an
efficient condition, for withou the high-
est efficiency in ia departm nt, all else
would be unavailing. Knowin the char-
acter and stanelibg of the o cers and
men composirg the present rigade, we
have no hesitation in predicti g that the
company will be dontinued in the high-
est state ' of efficiency, if an thing like
reasonable encouragement is ffordecl by
the citizens of thq town. Th company

tion of the unidu lijancl. This of conrse,

effect.

BATING CLUB CONTROVERSY.—
r—I would not have taken up
n the present occasion. but for
pt of Debater, No. 1," in your
,to libel the character of an in -
1
nocent man. It is very am sing to see
him pouring forth his pointed nonsense
at the wrong target Elis 1 tter goes to
prove that he is one of th4 many --who
jump at conclusions witbout considering
what the end msy be. I thiik it a great
pity that such mighty geninp as he seems
to possess should be confine4L to Stanley.
The McKenzie Government needs over,
hauling and if "Debates, N. 1" would
undertake the tank and.displaybut half
the vigor and vengeance that was shown
in overhauling Ex Debater, What a world
of good he might do. He might remodel
the Stanley council between times, and
then be sent to hunt BossTweed. Our
advice to him is that before he again
tries to. scribble he should take some cool-
ing nourishment, ask his mother's advice
and be more sure of his Mark. As to
"Debater, No. 2," we havelnot much to
say. He seems to,go off in 1 ecstacies at
the first, and his shots are an. harmless as
if sent into the unknown regions of which
he speaks, or fired at the reinbow. He
has been travelling lately, Mul probably
on some of his nocturnal rangibles lost his
way, so that he was compelled to pitch
his tent for the night beside some marsh

OCHOOL EXAMINATJON AlirD REMINIS-
CENCE:S.—A very successful l examination .
of the school in section No. 4,
Grey, taught by Mr. John McIntosh,
took place on Friday, Aprii 14th, com-
mencing at 9 A. M. The day was by no
means favorable for 'attendance on such
an occasion, the roads being in a very
bad condition, and the weather, rainy
and uninviting. Notwiths nding these
inconveniences, a large nurnber of par-
ents and visitors put in an appearance at
an early hour. 1 am credibly informed,
that never before was there 0 eh a gather-
ing of people present at any,former ex-
amination, displaying so much interest and
enthusiasm in scholastic affairs. There
were upwards of sixty pupils present,
neatly attired, allapParent y evincing a
consciousness of tNe importance of cor-
rect behavior, and diligent and intelligent
application, during the continuance of
the examination. The varicips exercises
of the day were conducted by the teach-
er, assisted 'by Mr. Allan McDonald, of
Cranbrook; with encouraging results.
The school -room was beautifully and
tastefully decorated. Behind the teach-
ers desk, appropriate mottoes,—well ex-
ecuted and creditable to the skill of the
author—were suspended. One charact-
eristic feature of the occasion was a
multiplicity of baskets, whose contents,
when fully disclosed to view, commended
themselves prima facift, to the aliment-
iveness of those who'1eern themselves
connoisseurs in such -mat rs. The la-
dies of the section, are deserving of espe-
cial praise, for the excellence and abund-
ance of the eatables thus' provided, which
must have been agreeable to themost epi-
curean palate. at the•close, a number of
the perents and visitors deliivered short
addresses, complimenting the teacher on
the order, regularity, and prosperous con-
dition, of the school.
,
• --Thirteen years ago, the writer attend-
ed an examination in this section, beiug
then a pupil of the school, but, severing
his connexion therewith shortly after,
had not an opportunity nntillFriday last,
of being present on a similar occasion.
Everything has undergone a complete
change- the old school-hous where we
were initiated into the ysteries of
English literature, has disappeared entire -
1Y—not a vestige of it remai 0, it has no
tangible existence *now— ideRily it is as
perfect as ever. Those shady ;maples and
that rugged elm have been an ruthlessy
dealt with. No more do they afford to
the young urchin, protectionfrom the
oppressive noon -tide heat. Not a soli-
tary face of thirteen years ago could be
recognized—a,n entirely n w school.
When the first school was founded here,
about eighteen years ago, this ueighbour-
hood was almost a wildernens, sparsely
populated and innocent of all such mo-
dern innovations as roads, bridges, &c.
Now, it is populous and opulent, and
affords good educational facilities.

The East Riding Show.
The annual spring show .of the East
Riding Agricultural Society, was held
at Brussels, oh Friday of last week. The
day was pleasant, and the attendance of
spectators large.: The silo upon the
whole',was equil to any held in the
County this r year in bulls there was a
_
much superior show to anything we have
seen, . -while the show of horses, al-
though in point of quality, especially in
imported heavy draughts, w not up to
some, it was, in Iespect of numbers, take
ing all the classes, equal to any. The

gun, he fell off, and roll down the

gun to explode, and he pigebna passing
over at the time, were killed:to the num-
ber of 17. The sportsman may be met any
day bragging about the number of pigeons
he killed at one shot.
