LEGAL ADVISERS PROCURED. — The promoters of the Dunkin Act in Huron have ;secured Messrs. J. T. Garrow, B. °L. Doyle, and. W. R Squier all of Godere- ich, as their legal advisers. . TRIAL. — Martin Burns, of Seaforth, who was lately committed to jail on sus- picion of having purloinedsa satchel, be- loeging to a railway official, at Seaforth estation, is to be tried on Tuesday next at Goderich. 1 • To THE STREET INSPECTOR. —If the Street Inspector or whoever, else has charge of the public thoroughfares in Sea - forth, will take a strollalong the sidewalk on St John Street; he willIbe yery apt to obserVe several loose and rotten planks which if not soon repaired may lay the town liable to a heavy bill for damage. -Quiet( WORK. —On Tuesday_ evenin g last, a young man in the EXPOSITO R Office, named Chas. Peters, -undertook to , set 3,000 "ems" of solid brevier in two . hours, after a hard day's work. He started at 7:35 and was done by 9:30, thus finishing his task in two hours and leaving five minutes to spare. Let us hear from any one who can beat this. SWISS BELL RINGERS COMING.—Rob- inson's Swisa Bell Ringers and. Classical Concert Troupe with full silver cornet band and orchestra-, will appear at the town hall, Seaforth, on. Wedneeday eveo- ing Nov. 15th. This company is very highly spoken of by the press, and we should judge from what we hear of their performances, that they are first-class in every respect, and worthy of public pat- ronage. ` "Hums" GONE Up.—On Sunday even- s/ ing het, Hugh Balkwill, of Seaforth,bet- ter known as the "Inamortal Hugh," was indulging in noisy demonstrations around Powell's hotel, which attracted the at- tention of the constable. The latter ina- ,-, mediately attempted to take iii.ln into . custody, whereupon "Hugh" presented a revolver at the constable. He snapped the weapon three times, without effect, as the chambers were empty; after which his dangerous intentions were checked, but not a -moment too soon, as the re- maining chainbers ofa the revolver had cartridge in them. He was allowed ataple , time to cool himself, being lodged in the lock-up for the night, and was I sent to Goderich on Monday to await trial. • , RAIN, MUD AND SLUSH.— It has rained. more or less nearly every day for the past three weeks, and that anoint indi- vidual, "the oldest inhabitant" cannot re- member of so long a wet spell. Tli e streeta are in a horrible state, and the roads in the country are almost impassable. In- deed, some of the mud roads, we are in- formed are impassable. Farm wiork also is at a standstill, the land being :so soak- ed with water that nothing canibe done with it. This wet weather with conse- quent bad roads hasad a most lepress- ing effect on business, and there il consid- erable consplaining among business men. It is to be hoped that a change may soon take place, as the present condition of affairs is most discouraging to every _ nterest. - ' , . -' A BUILDING -MANIA. —The people • of Seaforth seem to have been smitten with a building -mania. Besides the hand- - some brick buildings being erected -on Main street, there a re private reeideuces and houses being built in all parte of the town. In one locality there are at the present time five new houses in course of erection, and the same can be ' said of _- nearly every other part where there is building room. To 'those now building, and who are anxious to get the work finished in order that they can occupy their houses, the present wet weather must be very 'discotragieg, as it much impedes the progress of every kind of nut -door labor. We are glad to notice so many. dwelling -houses in course of erection., The arey all much needed. House accommodation was searce enough before the fire but since then it ie much worse. We know of several inetances r where two families are compelleion ac- count of this scarcity- to occu y one house, and there - are many others desirous of securing houses who cannot get them. Some have had .t go to Harpurhey and Egmondville, an now, we understand the houses in these places are filled. While this state of things speaks well for the progress of the town it is very annoying and inconvenient to those who are houseless. We anticipate that there will be a great rush of build- ing next season, as soon as. spring opens. GOING TO COLLEGE. —Mr . 11. Derby- shire, Mr. Bull's assistant at the Seaferth Dentistry, left for Toronto on Thursday last with the intention Of attending the Dental College in that city for alshort period. During his absence the office will be open only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of each week, when. Mr. Bull will attend personally. We wish Mr: Derbyshire every success in prose- cuting his studies,' and trust his highest expectations may be realized. TWENTY DOLLA.RS AND COSTS. —For some -time past two detectives have been oing.through South Huron, spying out offenders of the new liquor law. Twelve have been "caught" by these sharpers, and in each case the usual fine of $20 and costs has been imposed on the guilty parties. Of this taumber- seven. were treed before Mayor; Armitage at Seaforth, on Monday last,-eix for selling liquor without a license, and 'one, who is licensed, for selling during un- lawful hours. Out of. the seven two, both unlicensed, belong to Seaforth. The remaining five were tried at Ex - ter, all on the charge of sellin witho t a license. 'FIREMEN'S MEETING..—he regul r business meeting of the Seaforth Fire Brigade will be held next Monday eve • ing in the town hall at 7 o'clock. As t has been found necessary to seperate t e hookancl ladder department from the en- gine, a meeting willsbe held at 8 o'cloek for the purpose of organizing a hook and ladder company. Eveiy person, having an interest in the fire protection of the town,shouldmake it a point to be present. As all the members at present in the bri- gade are required for the engine, about 25 more will be needed for -the proposed .hook and ladder company. All parties interested are respectfully invited to ,at- tend the meeting. A WARNING. —On Tuesday morning last, while Mr. Geo. Allan, of Seaforth, a britklayer, was engaged on the scaffold- ing at Mr. Campbell's new building, the plank slipped, precipitating him down- wards. puckily he was on the inside of the wand and saved, himself from falling to the greuud by catching the joists of the ceiling. He escaped with a few bad bruises and contusions, which:, will keep him from work for some time. This should be a warning to those engaged in such dangerous positions to use every means of safety about scaffolding. In wet weather, when boards k are more or less liable to be slippery, too nsuch bare cannot be taken to make everything solid and secure. Under less -favorable circumstances the case above cited might have been very serious, if not fatal. A PLEASANT EVENING. —An entertain- ment -under the !auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society was held in the Methodist Church of this town on the evening of Thanksgiving day. There was a fair attendance, and an agreeable evening was spent. Misses -Emma Johnson, Nel- lie Rogers and E. Volmar gave eeadings in their usual efficient manner. Rev. Mr. Buggin, the pastor, read an appro- priate address on " Thankegiving, ' and mirch amusement was derived from Val- entine. Vox's adventure in, the -London City Council, which laughable selection was read by Mr. Wm. M. Gray. Ad- mirers of good music. must have been pleased at the well chosen and skilfully rendered selections performed on the piano by Mrs. McMulkin and Marquis Chisholm. Mr. James Beattie occupied the chair. It is the intention of the ladies to give similar entertainments at intervals during the winter season. 7 PERSONAL. —At the grand Masonic cer- emony of laying the corner stone of the, new -Mechanics Institute building in London last aveek,Britannial lodge, Sea - forth, was represented by Brother James 11. Benson, G. S. P. —In mentioning the names of those who took passage from Seaforth for the Centennial last week, we omitted the names of 'Messrs. John McMillan, Hul- lett, Thos. E.. Hayes, Reeve of McKil- lop, and Alex: Cardno, Seaforth. —Mr. 'Joseph Atkinson, of London, who is well-known to many of our read- ers, has been appointed -general agent for Western' Ontario for thee Connecticut Life Insurance Company. Mr. Atkin- son takes the place -'of the late .R. J. O'Loane. Tne Company is to be congrat- :ulated on having secured the services of a gentleman of Mr.Atkinson's business ability and integrity. ; , . SEAFORTH'S FtiTU„RE nitAYOR. — We take the following from the Seaforth cor- respondence of t e London Advertiser. Paragraphs of si ilar import have been appearing in the same paper, aud 'others, periodically for the last two or three months: "Mr. James Beattie seems to be ithe favorite candidate for the Mayoralty." 1 We have a much higher opinion of Mr. Beattie's good sense than to think fOr a moment that' he authorizes the publica- tion of these paragraph's, or even that ethey are published with his consent. To say the least of it then, the reneated use of his name in the absente of ny public announcement onfhis part, is ill timed and in bad taste, Mr. Beattie ma not intend being a candida Mayoralty. We have no mean ing what his intentions are in t or may e for the of know- - be matter, but we do know that he is not mention- ed any more frequently or favorably than others. The fact of the matter is, 6s every person here knows,the forthcoming elections have, as yet, created ;little or uo comment among our citizens, so that it is the height of absurdity, and is mis- leading those unacquainted With the cir- cumstances, to say that any particular person is:a-favorite for any position. , BURGLARIES. —Some time on Friday night last the express Wee in the rear of Armstrong's book store was entefed by means of a window. Several express packages w.ere opened and their contents scattered about, but as they- did not con- tain any "filthy lucre" OT other valuables suitable to the tastes of the pilferer, they were abandoned in .disgust and disap- pointment, and "new fields and pastures green" sought for. - An entrance was effected into Armstrong's store by break- ing a pane of glass in the door leading - thereto. The key of this door was in the lock on Armstrong's side which was easi- ly tinned, and, the inialer walked in, ransacking Mr. Armstrong's till, and ab- stracting about $11 in silver therefrom. It is evident that the theft was com- mitted by some person well acquainted with the premises, and no practiced hand either, as a kofessed burglar would not have left the safe in the express office un- touched. —On Saturday evening some lover of the "weed" entered T. Lee's grocery and took three 25 -cent plugs of tobacco from the store. An entrance was made by an unsecured cellarway. Our merchants are now taking precautions,hitherto over- looked, to guard their premises against burglarious attempts. FARMERS ' BEWARE. —A number of agents are now' traveling through the county from one house to another,offer- ing for sale cloths and other 'articles of dry goods at fabulously low 'prices, which they represent as being "drapery goods damaged by 'water, hooks, &c. in transit from Liverpool to Montreal dur- ing the past season, on the, steamships of the Allan Line." Thee parties also represent themselves as agents of Messrs. Robinson, Bingham & Co., Commission Salvage and Ship Brokers, 132 Castle street, Liverpool. VVe are informed upon the most reliable authority that there is no such firne as that above named deing business in Liverpool, and further- more that there have not been any goods damaged by water &c., while in transit from Liverpool by the Allan Line this season. When such misrepreselltateons as we have referred to are , made in the printed circulars of those parties, our readers can form their own conclusions as to the quality of the goods they sell, and it would be wisdom for them to be- ware of all such customers. Cranbrook- SIGNS OF PROGRESS. —A correspondent of the tistowel Banner thus speaks of the progress of this prosperous village: "The past summer has added consider- able to our importkice as a village, a considerable number of new *residences having been erected, and some now in course of completion. Amongst the number is the Presbyterian manse, which is ready for occupation, except the .painting, and that would have been done, had the weather been favorable. Mr. John Cameron has the contract for the painting, and the work will be done under the superintendence of Mr. Col- lins, Wingham. Messrs Gramm, Baker and Reddaway are amongst the number of those who have built good, comfort- able buildings. Mr. Baker is now mak- ,ing preparations for building a -new blacksmith shop. The size is to be 30x 45, and to be in operation as soon as possible. The lime works are doing a good business, in fact exceeding the most sanguine expectations, of the pro- prietors. The lime is really -a good article. The cheese factory seson has closed, and the cheese has all been sold and shipped. The cheese was of the best quality, and sold at the highest price at the time of each sale. The prices realized were 81, 91 and 101 cents per pound, for the different sales. Mr. John Morrow, of McKillop, was the maker, and gave universal satisfaction to the 'proprietors and patrons. I The proprietors of the factory, Messrs. 'King & Cameron, have just completed and. got in running order their run of chopping stones. The machinery was fitted up by Mr. Edward Garrow, millwright of this place, and the work does him credit for the substantial manner in which it was done. This will be a great convenience to the farmers in this vicinity, and as the proprietors have gone to considerable expense in fitting up a chopping mill, it is to be hoped that it will prove remu- nerative to them. The saw mill is again at work in full force. Considerable quantities of lumber have gone away dur- ing the season, principally to Brussels; yet, notwithstanding that, Messrs Gar - row Bros, have still'a large stock of dif- ferent kinds on hand, which they will dispose of to cash buyers at reduced rates, to make room for the winter trade. IA strong sidewalk mania took hold -of some of our people during the ry weather; material was procured, and considerable of it laid on the ground, but the work is now stuck for want a workers. Some turned out and finish - e1 the walks opposite their own doors, d they are now reaping the benefit." , V Wroxeter. Roans.—The weather of late has been raining, with slight falls of snow, and the effect on the streets has been to trans- form them' into continuous quagmires, with a slight ridge of solid earth in the centre. BUSINESS ‘GrEAN a E.—Mr. Robt. Millen has rented his stave and heading mill, sash and door factory, etc., to Mr. David Black, for a. term of three years. Mr. Black is a pushing 'business man,and under his hands the business is sure to thrive. PA.RTNERSHIP DISSOLVED.—AS will be seen by advertisement elsewhere, Messrs. J. & R. Clark, of the Wroxeter Mills, have dissolved partnership. The busi- ness will be conducted in future by Mr James Clark, the senior member of the retiring firnn GUNPOWDER PLOT.—The anniversary of the detection of the Gunpowder Plot, was celebrated by the Loyal Orangemen of this place and surrounding neighbor- hood? by an oyster supper in the Public Hall, on the evening of Tuesday, the 7th iapt. . There was a full attendance of brethren and others, and a very pleasant evening was past. After the cloth was. eraoved speeches, appropriate to the oc- casion, were delivered by several mem- bers of the Order. ROBBERY. —On the night of the 2nd nst, some evil disposed person effected an entrance by means of a back window nto the tailor shop of Mr. John Knut- on, and'abstracted thence a quantity of nished clothing. A suepicioup looking ramp who had been loafing about the illage the day previous, and was missing he day after, was at once suspected, and onstables set on his track, but so far we elieve their efforts have beennnavailing, rid the sneak thief will escape with his 'under. DUNKIN Aur. --The Dunkin Act and he probability of its carrying in this ounty has become the chief topic af nterest in -the village. The tenaperante men throughout the County are begin- ing an agitation which, in their opinion ill certainly be crowned with succeSs. he late convention in Clinton and ther local meetings show the upholders f the Dill to be of stout heart, and that bey will leave nothing undone to secure he success of the cause they have spoused. Petitions are being 'circulated ith the primary design of securing the ecessary thirty ratepayers in each muni- ipality, arid also to discover as far as ossible by Ile house to house; canvass, he opinion of the people on the subject. be petitions will be presented to the ounty Council at its next meeting, and , the loud. -spoken oiainion of the toppers 1 ance advocates be taken as truth, they will show that not only will the requisite thirty names in each municipality be fortlicoming,\but that a clear majority of the ratepayers—in this part of the County at least—are in favor of the Bill. We advise the enthusiastio supporters of the Act in this village to concentrate their efforts upon the village itself, for though the field is small, w2‘. think it will -require all their eloquencff and ear- nestness to convince thirty ratepayers that it is their duty to vote for the sub- mission of the Dunkin Bill. The opin- ions,of-many of the leading men of the place are adverse to the Act, arid this we have reason to believe, not on account of any predilections in favor of _the liquor traffic, but because they think' that its evils will be increased rather than les- sened were the Bill to become law. Still the voice of an,earnest temperance man availeth much, and a vigorous campaign and well -organized efforts may show that we are mistaken in our opinion. • Howick.

THE GUNPOWDER PLOT. —The Orange- men of this place and vicinity celebrated the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot on Monday last in a patriotic and becoming manner. In the evening, notwithstanding the bad state of the roads, a very large number began to make their appearance front the country to celebrate the day, or rather the night. A sumptuous repast was prepared by Mr. Patterson, of the Royal hotel, and of which about ninety partook with a hearty relish. Supper being over, a number of the older folks left for home, while the younger ones re- mained to "trip the light fantastie Sometime near morning, or among the short hours, the party broke up, each one taking the road. that pleased hintself, or at least his -"lass," considering, no doubt, they had come to the best of the fun, and. feeling that they had spent a jolly evening, and that Patterson -was a jolly good fellow. COMPLIMENTARY. —The most social and pleasarft gathering that it has been our privilege to attend in this village was held in Patterson's Royal Hotel on Wed- nesday evening Nov. lst. The cause of the party was to do honor to J. A. Creighton Esq., who has been the Sta- tion Master in this village since the Railroad was first opened, and who took his departure from this place for Mild- may a station on the main road, and a much better situation than the one he has left. The friends of Mr. Creighton coneidered that they could not allow himeto 'depart from their midst, without testifying in some tangible manner the general respect in which he was held by the community. The meeting consisted of all of the most distinguished men of - our village, and we may say nearly all of the people in the village,as well as a number from the country. The chair was occupiea by T. Farrow M. P., a.'nd the ' vice chair by J. Messer Esq. A very rich and bounteous repast was .provided by Mr. Patterson, consisting of oysters, and all the dainties of the season, to which we can say ample jus- tice was done: After the inner man had been duly supplied with* everything de- sired, the following patriotic toasts were honored by the company: The "Queen," to whom all drank, and to which a short reply was given by the chairman, Mr. Farrow'then a toast to the Governor- Generalfollowed, co -418d with the name of Mr. Farrow. Then,. in appropriate terms, the chairman proposed the toast of the evening, "Our Guest, Mr. Creigh- ton," accompanied with the name of J. Messer, Ektq., and to which he replied. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Messer stated that he only expressed the minds of the people in general when he said that they parted from their friend, Mr. Creigh- ton with deep regret. -During the time he has acted as station master he has won the esteem of all the community, on ac- count of the prompt and straightforward manner in which he filled his situation, and the untiring efforts put forth to improve the village, and also to accom- modate those with whom he had dealings. The company all wished him success in his new home, and had no doubt but he would soon achieve the same from what they knew of him. The next,toast was the "Parliament of Canada, "coupled with the name of T. Farrow, Esq.,M. P. Then came the "Agricultural Interests," coup- led with the name of Mr. S. Black; the "Railway Interests" responded to by Mr. Lewis ; "Commercial Interests, by Messrs. J. Messar andJ. Timmons; "Ed- ucational Interests," by Mr. W. G. Duff; "Military Interests," by Mr. D. King; the "Press," by A. H. Mosgrove, who gave a short account of it from its origin up to the present; "Manufacturing Inter- ests," by Messrs. W. H. Leech and D. Stewart; the "Ladies," by Mr. J. Leech; "Our Host and Hostess,' by Mr. Patter- son. Miss Farrow and Mrs. J. Timmins presided at the organ, in turn accompan- ied by Mr. A. Gray witth the violin, he tween the different toasts, td the entire satisfaction of all present. Songs were sung by Miss Farrow, A, Gray, F. Bailey, and W. G.. Duff. At the close all joined in singing the National Anthem, after which the pleasant company separated, all satisfied with the way in which they had spent the evening. IL) , Bayfield. KD BY A- BULL.— We regret being called t pon to record the melancholy. death of Mr. Wm. Hall, of Goderich Township, near Bayfield. Mr. Hall was, on Sunday last, engaged in feeding a bull, - when the animal suddenly turned on and attacked him in a most furious manner. Mr. Hall was thrown to the ground, and the brute in his fury trampled on and gored him in a frightful manner, and but for assistance arriving would no doubt have killed him. Mr. Hall was carried to the house, but his injuries were of so serious a nature that he could not recov- er, and he died on the following Tuesday. Mr. Hall was one of the pioneer residents of Huron; he was a man , of more than ordinary ability,and his many good quali- ties of head and heart made him a gener- al favorite wherever known. He was a most active and leading member in the Reform party, and was a zealous worker in the temperance ranks. He was a man well advanced -in years, but was still hale ,and hearty. His sad end will be deeply regretted by all who knew him, and his presence will be much missed in the neighborhood where he had lived so long. —Mr. Hall is the third person in this neighborhood who has been attacked 1 by bulls recently. Geo. Green had a very narrow escape, and was -Saved only - by the timely arrival of his son. Peter Cole, also, was severely injured. Farm- ers having such animals- -should take warning, as they are not -to be trusted. Brussels. • ORANGE CELEBRATION. --The Binssels Orange Lodge had an open meeting in their lodge room on Alexander street, on Monday evening last, in celebration of the anniversary of Nov. 5th. The usual courtesies not being extended, of course we are unable to give a report of the pro- ceedings. THE WEATHER. —The very bad weath- er of the last week has been a great -draw- back to those building. Several large buildings that are not quite covered in have been at a stand still. Builders are in hopes of a few fine days yet. The mud roads are almost impassable; and very little grain coming into market. ingham. MELANCHOLy SUICIDE. —William Goy, a farmer in Tnrnberry, five miles from Wingham, left his residence on Monday morning under suspicious circumstances, and not returning the alarm was raised. - and search made. Nothing was seen or heard of his whereabouts until Tuesday, when his dead body was found in a swamp near the house, with his throat cut. Dr. Fowler, coroner, held' an inquest, and the jury returned a verdict thatthe deceased came to his death by cutting his own throat while deranged. About a year and a half ago he attempted. to take his life by poison. McKillop. A. MEAN Actr.—On the evening of Nov. 1st, some parties, wantonly inclined, shaved the tails off a span of horses be- longing to Mr. Mulholland, miller, Roc - burgh. The .animals were on the. road at the time, and what makes the matter still more contemptible, Mr. Mulholland is a harmless and inoffensive person.: The cowardly vandals who committed the dastardly act, have not yet been found out, but it will not be very well: for them should they be discovered.-...
