BIG Eco. -Mr, Thos. Coventry, of
this town, has a hen which lays eggs
measuring 7>1' inches one way and 6
inches the other way. These are the
kind of fowls that are worth keeping.
FOR ';11E CENTENNIAL. —Messrs, David
Isle aught and John Broadfoot left on.
Thyrsciay for Philadelpphia, where they
intend spending a couple of weeks view-
ing the wonders of the Centennial. . _
CO'NeERT,—Mr, Ward, who has had a
juvenile singing: class incourse of train-
ing for some weeks, intends givinga con-
cert in the"Town Hall in this town on
one week from next Wednesday evening,
BILLIARDS.—Mr. Davidson, of . the
Commercial, has added to the many oth-
er attractions of his hotel, a billiard
room, in which he has placed two splen-
did new tables. The room is neatly fur-
nished and comfortably fitted up, and is
very convenient to the hotel.
DEL-INOUE CHERRIES. -Mr. N, Cous-
ins, of 'J.`uckersmith, came to hand a few
days ago with his annual donation of a
basket of fine cherries. Our "boys"
did ample justice to them, and enjoyed
'he treat immensely. A kindness such,
as this will long be remembered by them.
Leas.: itj„—Professor DeLanney, min-
ister of the Deformed French church, de-
livered a lecture in the Presbyterian
church of this town, on- Tuesday evening
last, to a very fair audience. The sub-
ject was the Catacombs of Rome, and
the lecture was both instructive and in-
teresting. The lecture was founded on.
the personal experience and observation
of the Professor. We understand he in-
tends c:r:iivering a second lecture in Sea-
forth shortly.
001 .1i) FOR HAY.—Mr. Wm. Arbuckle,
e f the township of Hay, a few days ago,
brought to Mr. Fairley's store, Seaforth,
a basket of gooseberries, one of which
selecteel at random from the basket
measured XI inches one way and at
inehee, the other. We slid not Learn the
variety, but they were certainly .the
finest berries of the kind which have been
brought into Seaforth market. Mr. Ar-
buckle devotes bis whole attention to
the cnitivation of fruit, and his success
may be judged from the specimens above
referred to. We hope our genial . old
friend may long be spared to enjoy the
fruits c.f his experience and industry.
A 1'- .Rxl:;u.--Several of our citizens
who delight in fast horses, nd who,
in the absence of a better place, had been:

The several parties were fined 50 cents
which, with costs, am anted to
