THE EXETER CONCERT. —The vocal performances of the seyeral ladies and gentlemen from Seaforth, who were pres- ent at the Oddfellows' con4rt at Exeter, on. the 6th inst., were, we learn, Very highly appreciated by the large and in- . telligent'audience that attended. Among -the prominent singers present were Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Pickard, and Messrs. Marshall and Mackintosh and Dr. Sippi, with Mr. St. John Hyttenrauche as ac- companyist, all members of the London Musical Union, of whose performances it is only necessary to say that they did not belie their- excellent reputation. The latter gentlemen were enthusiastic in their expressions of admiration at the singing of Misses Carmichael and Foster, of Seaforth, whose rendering of the duet 'Mother, can this the glory be?' fairly took the house by storm. The first verse was rapturously applauded, and the genuine heartiness of the encore at tins conclusion W88 so unmistakable, that the young la- dies were compelled to acknowledge it. The solos and- duetts of Messrs. °bine were, as usual, up to the mark, and the FIRE COMP AN MEETING. —At a meet- ing of the Sealer h Fire Brigade, held on Monday evening last, it was resolvecl to reduce the ho °retry membership fee from $2 a year o $1, and a committee was appointed t canvass the town for honorary membe 8.1 We trust the can- vassers will mee with a hearty recep- time from our bu 'rtees men. The brigade cannot be kept i an efficient condition without funds, a d as this iathe princi- pal source from hich funds are derived, every business aid, professic,nal man iii town should .chterfully pay his dollar and become an hinorary member. When young men wh • have a comparatively slight stake in ,t e town are willing to devote their am: and energies in connec- tion with the bri ade, we are sure that those whose pro eerty they are required to protect will n• t begrudge the trifiin sum absolutely • ceded to continue the efficiency of the o pany. COMPLIMENTA Y number of the friends f Mr. James Landes - borough, Preside t of the TUckersmith Branch Agricult ral Society, entertained that gentleman t a complimentary sup- per at Rose's I -I tel, on the evening of Monday last. T e supper was got up in ethe usual good st le of the popular host. • The chair was o cupied by Mr. Cress- well, Reeve of TUckersmith, and the vice chair by M . Hayes, Reeve of Mc- Killop. 1 The ent rtainment was a most pleasant affair, ..cl- during the evening the several gentl men who spoke in re- sponse to toasts, acknowledged in the most eulogistic terms the efficient ser- vices Mr. Lande borough had rendered the Society, not only while filling the position of Presi ent, but for years pre- vious. The plea ure of the cevening was much enhanced y the excellent singing of Messrs. George Cline, W. 0. Reid, 'Robert Dickson nd others. Mr. Landes- borough'has lon been a most zealous worker in the ipterests of the society; and the complimbrit paid him on Monday night by his fellow directors and friends was well merited.

There as a very large display of stock on the g Mind, and in cattle and sheep there well somq really excellent animals. Stran e to say, howeVer, that white there was ,a better show of cattle and sheep than eVer before, there was only one pig and, one pair of turkeys. Among other excellent animals exhibited was a heifer fed by Mrs. McLean, of Tuckersmith, which weighed 1,780 lbs. This animal was, we understand, pur- chased by Mr._ Case for Mr. George Ewing, and we have no:doubt but many of our citizens wid have an_ opportunity of testing its goo. qualities -about Christ- mas time. Near y all the -stock brought in was disposed of at good prices, the competition am ng buyers being very keen. The princi ial buyers were Messrs. Case, Thomas G venlock, and. C. Davis. Prices ranged fro three to seven cents per pound, live weight. The sheep which, were of rxeellent quality were nearly all purcha ecl by Mr. Case.

The attendan e owing, no doubt, to the stormy weath•r, was not so largo as it should have bee', but the house was well filled. The eh ir was occupied by Mr. John Campbell, t e popular chief of the brigade, who, in a few op ning remarks, referred to e progres the brigade had made, and t e ma ; any ifficulties which had to be co tended with in keeping it in a pro fer state- of efficiency, and strongly urg d the business men of 'the town to co 11 e fdrward aid render it their aid and eou tenance by swelling the honorary me- 0, bership list. The remarks of the cha r - man were • well received, aud will, • o doubt, bear good fruit. The concert is pronounced by .competent judges to ha e been the best ever held in Seaforth. Ts e singing of Misses Foster and Hann, h Carmichael elicited rounds of applau e, while the Seaforth Quartette Club d s- played musical talent and taste rar ly surpassed. The last selection given sy them, "Gathering up the Shells," w e charmingly rendered, and to hear it, as alone worth twice the price of aclm s- sion. Mr. Kennedy, the celebrat d comic vocalist, was unusually vivacio s and amusing, his aged negro eccent i. - cities surpassing anything of the kie d ever -given in the town hall, even by t le best professional& Mr. George Cline also sang a couple of solos wi good effect, his "Sweet Spirit Hear Prayer" eliciting a rapturous encor . Holland's orchestral band performed se eral excellent selections in a manner c 1- culated to fully sustain the first-class i.. putation they have II . earned. Mr. land played the accompaniments on e piano for the Seaforth musicians, a d Mr. Lee performed a similar part for M Kennedy. The eatire proceeds of t e concert amounted to $60, and aftr paying all expenses, there will be left f r the use of the brigade about $20. • ,, Wroxeter.

The Good ilemplars and a number besides were in favor of the Act, while a few of the old social Oaps, as they were called, would like their dram in the morning and in the efternb n,&c. , consequently were not in- favo jof the Act. At the close of the meetin a col- lection was taken up for temperance pur- poses. PANotittent.—One of the best panorama shows we have ever had the good for- tune to attend took place in the school house of this village on Monday evening of last week. It consisted of Scripture surbjects, astronomical views and illustra- tibns, views in natural history, and comic views.

MELANCROLY ACCIDENT. — A melan- choly and fatel accident occurred. in the township of McKillop on Thursday of last week. On that day Mr. George Whiteman, who lived. on Con. 14th, went to the woods for the purpose of cut- ting down some trees. Oa his not re- turning to dinner, the family became alarmed and his wife went to the woods to seek for him. She saw where he had been working but could see nothing of him. She then went to a neighbors and secured the services of the neighbor to search. This gentleman, Mr. S. Mc- Pherson, after considerable search found the body of the poor man lying in the snow, face downwards, a few yards from where he had been chopping. It is sup- posed that he was cutting a tree gains t which another tree had lodged, and that it had fallen unexpectedly and struck him on the back before he could get out of its way. His back was broken, and as the snow around where he lay was entirely undisturbed, he must have been ° killed instantly, as he had evidently never made a struggle. Mr. Whiteman was a man of about 39 Years of age, and leaves a widow and four small children to mourn his tad. and sudden death. The following is the list of tenders: P. Thomson, $2,300 J.
