Farms ir.tre pretty high in Huron, but they have not yet reached this fissure. TEM GREAT STOCK SALE.—The MOM - Blah auction sale of thoroughbred 'stock, under the auspices of the Huron Live Stock Association, which will be held at Clinton- on Wednesday next, promises ta be a magnificent affair. En- quiries regarding the sale have been re- eeived from all parts of Canada and. the United States. The high repatation -which. Huron and adjoining counties hold among stock raisers stands in 'good stead in a case of this kind., and no doubt there will be a sufficient nurci- ber of purchasers present to make competition keen, and the first sale of the Association a grand sucCess.

The audience !waa the largest that has yet appeared - in the new hall, there being a large num- ber from the country. The rendering .of the piece was faultless, several of the ,cliaracters being somewhatbetter taken 'than on the previous evenins. The en- tertainment was given for the benefit of the poar of the town, and a handsome team must have been realized. The club will again appear in about three weeks 'when they will give, the Fire- emen'sband a benefit, on which occasion "She Stoops to Conquer" will be iplayed. 1 • ,i,„41t111.,Y IMPORTATIONS.--Notwithstaud- ljng the rather dull winter for trade, sed by the continuous mild. weather and bad roads, the merchants of OUT tOwn, seem to have done a. good trade, aud the winter steOsS are pretty well :cleared. off, and all are making ective !preparations for a lively spring business. Several of our leading houaes have al- ready received large consignments of spring goods, and more are arriving daily. The early bird catches the worm. Our Merehanta all do a good business, and they seem determined not . 'only to keep the customers they now , have, but by the exercise of energy and. , enterprise, to continnally enlarge and -extend the circle. Hosea -lees Acesitree.—The charge • preferred agaiust Mr. W. H. Treavee by • Kr. Robert Fisher was itiveatissated be- fore Judge Squier at Goderieh on Fri- . slay Jest. After hearing the evidence , for the prosecution, the Judge deemed , it tusuccessary to call evidence for the defence, as there was no evidence to sus - stain the charge, and Mr. Treaves was honorably acquitted. Ile reached home the same es -minas and. on his arrival wg.s warmly greeted by his friends. Mr. Treaves since coming to Seaforth haa borne the reputation of being an • honest, industrious man, and we are glad. to know that he has emerarea from this little difficulty With an antarnielied •character. Mr. F.

Brine, in company with another gentleman, was returning from Stanley where he had been attending, an'auetion sale, he met with an acci- dent which might have proved serious. When near the railway crossing at Brucefield. they met another horse and buggy which was being driven by a young lad, and which was going at a furious rate. Mr. Brine and his com- panion gave as much of the road. as they could, but the approaching horse bore down upon them jumping fair upon their buggy, throwing them out and smashing the buggy to pieces. Mr. Brine was considerably bruised and scratched, but fortunately escaped se- rious injury. The lad said hie horse had become unmanageable and he could c not control MM. He will have to pay for the repairs on the broken buggy, but we guess the seratehed faces and,bruised. limbs will have to go. THE jUDILEE BINGE:M.—It is !seldom we deem it .necessary to refer ; to the performances of travelling:concerti - or show companies., but the entertai. manta given • here en Saturday and Tplonday evenings last .by Sh.eppard's . ,, ubilee Singers were certainly deserviagl of the highest commendation. The company is composed of colored people, three la- dies andthree gentlemen,' all of whom have been sieves,. They sing the songs and hyrcina they used t� sing on the Southern plantations during the "dark days of slavery." They have . rich,. powerfulvoices, andalthough none of them know a note of music, they keep. the mast excellent time-, and. eaclata.kes his or her part as correctly as if they had. the range ' before them. I They are well deserving of patronage. ' On Sunday evening they cionductPd the singing in the Methodist - chureh, and the large edifice was filled to, suffecation„ and many had. to go away, beiag un- able to. crowd in. ., s ALL OCCUPIED.7- The last store in Cardno's new block is now occupied.. - This - store was fitted,. up specially for Messrs. Hoffman Brothers' dry,, goods and millinery business, and the. enter- prising proprietors -took .posSessiOn last week, and now have it filled with goods. It is the largest storein the block, and., like theothers, it is most beentifully and tastefully finished. It isnearly the width of' two regular. stores, With a counter along each side; and :an arch running along the centre. There. is an entrance doorifrom the street _ Ow either side of -the archway. Immediately in rear of the sale -room, and separated from it by a glass partition, is the mil- linery department. The whole is con- veniently arranged; there beingl. abun- dance of light and the verybestfacili- ties for showing geode to the best ',advan- tage Seaforth has long been noted for the maernitude and magnificence i of its mercantile establishments, - as well as for. the. excellence, variety andicheap- aess of the stockS, and. the recent addi- tions will tend vastly to enhaneethis. enviable reputation. CONCERT.—The concert given in the Methodist Church, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society, on Friday evening last, was, in so far as the enter- tainment was concerned, a grand suc- • cess, but the attendance, owiag no doubt- • to the unfavorable weather, was not • very large. The singing of the Tandy Brothers was excellent, and was much admired by the audience. Mr. W. Tan- dy, eapecially, is a vocalist not easily rivalled. He has a clear, powerful and thoroughly cultivated voice, and his ar- • ticulation is perfect. Except it may be Professor Jones, his equal has never • been in Seaforth. Miss Campbell and. Miss Buggin each gave a solo, and both displayed good musical taste and ability. The choir also gave a couple of beauti: ful selections. The • acporapaniments were played by Mr. Vogt. This young gentleman, also, in his organ recitals surprised and delighted his audience. He showed himself to be thoreughly proficient at both instruments, and al- though quite a young man, his musical performances would have done a much older and inore pretentious performer great credit We understand it is the intention of the Society to invite the Messrs. Tandy to return to Seaforth at an early day. Should. they accept of the iiivitation we are safe in -saying, that the very general satisfaction. their sing- ing gave on Friday evening will secure them a crowded auclience on the ! occa- sion of the next visit. • Hensall.

We were much pleaSecl to see that the pulpit hes been modern- ized. which doubtless the ministers will very much appreciate. After the cus- tomary votes of thanIFs, which were riphly deserved, the meeting broke tip well pleased with themselves and eve body else.—Com. Brucefields DRAUGHTS.— The return match lie- tween the draught players of Brucefield and Kinburn took place at the latter village on Friday evening, the 22nd inst. Owing to the unfavorable weather only six of the Brucefielders put in. an ap- pearance.

There won't he a shanty by the way side inside the limits of the corporation that will not be able to boast of one or two qualified electors. Our aldermen had. a long time over the license business.

What with soirees, concerts, lectures, skating carnivals, horse races, rain,mud, &C., every one from the corner loafer, up to Judge can have his tastes grati- fied.—Goderich is emphatically a town of: lawyers; every decoiad man youmeet is a lawyer, and the one between is gen- erally a lawyer's . clerk. The Court • House is the great centre of the law sys- tern, around -which the lawyers are con- tinually revulving.—The " Star of the West" is trying desperately to shine through these ark, foggy, winter days, by writing with white chalk on a black- board, telegrams, probably from some irciaginary correspondent in Russia or Turkey; while the "boss Star" himself is adding greatly to the amusement of Ms fellow townsmen, by having a tilt with the turn -coat Monk on the rostrum of I the Oddfello-ws' Hall.—The enter- tainm.ent held in the Temperance Hall, under the auspices of the Sons of Tem- perance, considering the weather and the many other meetings On the seine night, was a, great success, The chair was occupied by Mr. S.

Mr. Cullarnore Sang by Miss Smith, "You'll soon forget your Kath- leen." Reading by Mr. Jameson," Miss Maloney goes to the Dentist ;" this'piece we lt ' well read and elicited roars of ap- ple se. Song by Mr. J. G. Sheriff, "iittle Robin tell Kate I'm corning;" 41 Sheriff is one of the finest tenor sin ers in the Province. Reading by Mr. S. P. Halls, " PluokyEnglishmen ;" this piece was excellently read and well received. Miss Whitely sang "Gather- ing up the shells," with good effect. Mr. H. I. Strang read Boys Justice," and maintained the ohmmeter- which he has •always borne, of being a first class reader. Mr. Watson gave some beauti- ful music upon the accordeon. Mr. J. •G. Sheriff and. Mr. la. Smith gave the "Larboard Watch" 1 splendid style. Mr. J. Williams gave a comic recitation :called "Experience of forty years;" he had with great ingenuity woven in some of our local characters and local affairs, which brought down the house with ap- plause. Mr. J. G. Sheriff and Mist Smith won for themselves golden lau- rels by the way in -which they rendered "Hunting Town." A very pleasant evening was closed by all jelni ,g in singing the National Anthem. T-u.ekereraith.

The woollen fac- tory and shoe'shop are in fullblast, and although the cheese factory and. saw- mill are stopped for the present they will be started again in a short time. Prof. Salter has organized. a" saw fil- ing shop" in the basement of the Wes- leyan. Methodist Church. He has about fifty "sharps" and "fiats" belonging to his class. The -Wattersville tea ball club met last Monday night and kicked for about two or three hours,after which those who were able to walk earriedthe rest home. We have heard of several of the boys who had to lift their legs o-ut of bed for the next three mornings, and of others_ who tumbled to .the floor when they were drawing on- their un- mentionables. The next game is to be played between the boys and. benedicts of the club.
