These parties, it is said, intend visiting Seaforth and other towns and villages in the County, so it will be well for business men to be on the look out for them. COMPLIMENT., Y S UPP ER. -On ThUrS- day evening of lajst week the friends of Mr. D. Hogan, formerly of the firm of Monroe & Hogan, plow makers, of this town, entertained him at a compliment- tary supper, given at Rose's hotel. About fifty gentlemen sat down to the excellent repast provided by the efficient host. The chair w,as occupied by Dr. Coleman and the viea chair by Mr. J. I. Carter. A very pleasant time was spent and the evening-pansed quick- ly, song and sentiment following each other in rapid succession. The speakers generally paid a marked tribute to the energy, enterprise and honesty displayed by the guest dutmg his residence here. Mr. Hogan has purchased a business in Shelburne, a flourishing_ village on the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway, about $ miles from Orangeville. • He left on the following -morning for his nevefield of labor. gr. Hogan is a fit4t-c1ass me- chanic and a good business man, and with his energy and industry cannot fail to succeed wherever he may go, and his genial manner will secure him friends and make !iiin a general fayorite every where. , -The business here formerly carried on by Monroe & Hogan will, hereafter be carried on by Mr.Maier Monroe, the senior member of the o firm, who ie well and favorably known here both as a good workman and an upright business man. The success which has attended the business under the old finn will we are sure, be continued to Mr -Monroe. Tuckersmith. A GOOD COLT. -Mr. James Irvine, of Con. 7th, Tuckersmith, has a year and a half old "Enterprise" colt, which weighs 1,135 pounds. This colt was weighed on the Seaforth scales on the 24th of Novem. ber. - CHEESE FACTORY MEETING. -A meet- ing of the p'atrons of the West End Cheese Factory was held at the factory on Monday last. There was on unusual- ly large attendance, and the patrons were well pleased with the manner in which the factory had been conducted during the past year. Mr. Robert Loudesborough was appointed Chairman, and Mr. John Hannah, Secretary. The Auditors' re- port together with a statement showing the amount of business done during the, past year were read, and on motion, adopted. By this statement we find that during the season 895,491 pounds of milk were delivered ; from this were made 83,546 pounds of cheese, which realized $8,144.98, being an- average of 9i cents per pound for the season. The! following are the prices realized each month: Miy, 91 cents per pound: june 81 cents; July, -84, cents ; August, cents; September, and. October, 12 cents. - ; t The factorytstopped working on the 12th . II of October, whereas other factories are usually worked till the 1st of November, so that two of the best and most Profit- able weeks in the -season were lost, 'both , to patrons and stock -holders. These re - 1 porta were highlY satisfactory to the a 1 4 • • THE HIMON .EXP6S1TOR, ary. The reverend gentleman compli- mented him on the admirable way in which he filled the chair, and hoped he would accept it, not on account of 38 in- trinsic value, but as a token of their kind- ly feeling towards -him, as it was not in their power to make any adequate com- pensation for services so valuable as his. He concluded by expressing a wish that the worthy recipient might be spared many years to enjoy Nis: -well-earned re- pose, and that afterwards he might sing the song of Moses and the Lamb in the mansions of his Father in Heaven. Mr. Bell made a very feeling reply, thanking his friends very warmlyfor their unexpected gift. He said that he had attained the 'age of eighty years on the previous Friday, and he considered it was time for him to retire, but in case no other suitabie person could be found, he was willing again to assume the offiee. Mr. Thompson,an elder of the church, also made a few remarks, in the course of which he stated that Mr. Bell had never once been abient from his place during a periodof ten years. The gift, an exceedingly becoming one, was the workmanship of Mr. Ferguson, of Lon- don, and, we understand, is valued at $40. It is certainly a credit to maker and donors. • Howick.

Too Mum CONTROVERSY. -For sev,. eral weeks we have had letters in our columns on Stanley municipal affairs. We have still on hand some three or four long letters on this subject, but as the affairs of that township have now been quite sufficiently ventilated to enable ratepayers to decide whether or not town. ship affairs have been properly conduct- ed by those - in office, we see no reason for continuing the correspondence. In addition to this, most, of those on hand re personal, if not abusive, and, consea quently, the ;publication of them would do no good. If the correspondent who sent us the criticism of proceedings be- fore the court in the suit of Morrison vs. _ Downing, had sent us an impartial re- portmf the proceedings, we should glad - DECMD3ER 8 1876. a aubatantipl character, and to get the hall cleaned out and ready for nomina- tion -Carried.

Hickson & Co. having dis- posed of their business in Seaforth, Mr. R.° T. Hickson, the junior member of the firm intends leaving Seaforth, for Kincardine where he will engage in the jewelry business. Mr. Hickson is a shrewd and enterprising business man, and while we regret his departure from • Seaforth we congratulate the people of Kincardine on their good fortune in securing so valuable an addition to their business population as we are sure Mr. Hickson will be. We trust,he may be as successful in business in Kincardine as the firm of which he was a member, has been in Seaforth MEoxramos' INSTITUTE MEETING. -The serai-aanual meeting of the members of the Seaforth Mechanics' Institute was held in' the reading room on Tuesday evening last. There was a very fair at- tendance of members. Mr. M. P. Hayes President of the Institute, occupied the chair. The secretary read the revised . constitution, which was adopted. The report of the managing committee was also read, and showed the ]institute to be in a most prosperous condition. The *room is gradually growing in popular favor, and is nightly frequented by large numbers of the young men of the town. Large additions have also been made to the library and several • periodicals and papers have been secured for the reading room. The management of the institute is in good hands, and so long as our leading citizens continue to take .the interest in it which they now do its prosperity and usefulness cannot but continue.

There is not likely to e much stir about the elention of the other town officials. -Com. ' I • LondeEborougli. 'I .

The church is a well finished and comfortable building, and, though the'Presbyterians in and around Londes- borough are not very numerous, yet they have, with commendable liberality, sub- scribed sufficient to cover the entire cost. • • Kippen..
