Huron Notes.
—At the last regular meeting of the
Blyth brass band, they -finally resolved
disband. They discharged their
teacher and. nowhold their instruments
subject to the action of tb.e Committee
appointed by the town to have charge
of said instruments. The books of the
Secretary show that the expenditures
during the pasti year were 5378.64, and.
that the receipts only amounted to
$374.31, thus leaving a balance for the
boys to liquidate out of their own pock-
ets.
—On. Monday evening last, as Mr,
J. T. Westcott, 111 compa.ny with anoth-
er young man, was returning home to
-Exeter from Kippen, the king bolt of
the buggy came Incase, letting the front
part of the vehicle down. The horse,
which is of a fiery nature became un-
manageable and despite the efforts of
both parties,got loose, and. in a moment
pieces were scattered in different direc-
tions. Th men, who were left to get
home as best they could, started. in
seaxch of the animal, which had gone
they knew not where, nor did they find
out until next day.
—On Sabbath, Maroh 3rd, divine ser-
vices were held in the new Presbyterian
Church,Blyth. This Churchwas dedi-
cated some time ago, previous to its be-
ing thoroughly seated. Services were
then continued in the ald church up to
Sabbath 3rd when, in view of every-
thing being in readiness, the congrega-
tion aseembled in their new place of
worship. Upon the occasion a very
able discourse was delivered by Rev.
A. McNaughton, of Walton, after which
the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was
dispensed.. The following day a congre-
gational meeting was held. for the pur-
pose of renting pews and other business.
The attendance was very large, Dr.
Sloan occupied the chair, the Treasurer
Wm. Drummond, Esq., read a state-
ment as to the standing of the Church,
after which the pews were rented, real-
izing upwards of 6800.
—On Saturday, Oth inst., Mr. John
McInnis and wife, of Exeter, went out
into Usborne visiting their friends, and
leaving the house in charge of Mrs. Mc-
Innis' sister. A boy about 11, went in-
to tb.e house for some milk and. while
the young lady was getting the lacteal
fluid the boy took a silver watch worth
$35, which he saw hanging on a nail,
He then sold it to another boy for a,
trifling sura—a few cents. Mr. Melia-
nis, on his way home, desired. to know
the tirae, and put his hand into his
pocket to pull out his watch,. which, to
his astonishment, was not there.
Thinking he had. possibly left it at home
he paid no more attention to it until
his arrival at his house, when he disa
eovered that the watch was not in its
accustonaed place. Constable Gill un-
dertook to work the matter up, but he
found. the young lad almost too sharp
But finally he drew from him the ad.
mission that he had. seen the watch
hanging up in the house when he went
for the milk. Mr. Gill then ascertained
that he had. been trading with another
boy. To the second boy he then went
and demanded the watch, which was
produced ininiediately and returned to
its owner.
—A young man named Henry Sweet,
who has for some tirae past been em-
ployed by Mr. James Clark, Crediton,
and was married about three months
ago, left that -village on Wednesday
night of last week for the land of the
stars and stripes. His disappearanoe
has taken every one by surprise, he not
eveu letting his wife know anything
about his movements. He hired a buggy
and drove his wife to her brother's I
house, and told her to stop there till he
would conae baak from Limn; but in-
stead of going to that place, he came
back to Crediton, gave back his furni-
ture to he party from whorn it was
purchased, and tied hi a wife's clothes
up. About 12 o'clock, he hired. a man
to drive him to Ailsa Craig, he only let-
ting it be known to that individual when.
at Craigs that he intend.ed going to
Michigan.
—Several days ago a youngr man named
Prout was arrested in Exeter by Con-
stable Gill on information from Wing -
hare charging him with stealing. Prout
owns or leases a large hall inWingham,
and it appears that on the night of the
extensive fire which visited that town
a few weeks ago, a quantity of goods
were removed to this hall from burning
buildings. -When the owners of the
goods went to claim them, a number of
articles were missing. At length a
search was made in Front's house,
where the missing articles had been
found. Prout had been married but p.
day or two, and was on his wedding
tour when arrested. He was taken
back to Wingham, where an investiga-
tion was held before a bench of magis-
trates, but no evidence worthy of con-
sideration was adduced against Mr.
Prout, and he was accordingly discharg-
ed. Before the large assemblage of
spectators dispersed Mr. Prout request-
ed their attention for a few minutes.
He assured them that he was innocent,
and he hoped as he had been acquitted
in a court of justice he, would also be
acquitted. at the bar of public opinion.
He referred to his arrest at Exeter,
which under the circumstances was par-
ticularly painfule Mr. Prout made a
neat speech, at the conclusion of which
he was loudly cheered; and on stepping
down from the platform he was warmly
congratulated on his acquittal.
—The Brussels Post of last -week says
it is now nearly 19 years since Mr. Van -
stone became a resident of Brusselsand
from that time his progress has been
marked. During that period he has
erected buildings for his own use to the
amount of 537,000 and although he has
met with misfortunes and losses he has
not faltered by the way, but has strug-
gled maufally on, until he stands to -day
one of our most prominent business men
and real estate owners. Last week we
paid a visit to his gristiag -and flouring
mill. It is a large three-story building
fitted, up with the best machinery re-
quisite for the working of a first-class
mill, run by water power and capable of
turning out 150 barr ls of flour every 24
hours. On the first floor are four run
of stones., which are constantly kept in
motion, a Eureka packer capable of
packing 200 barrels of flour per day, a
Richmond grain cleaner and. separator,
large grain hoppers for weighing pur-
poses, which are worked in connectien
with the elevatorsalso the offices of the
establishment. Thessecond and third
floors are likewise filled with machin-
ery of various descriptions, such as a
bran duster, a middlings purifier, mer-
chant bolts, a large cooler, &c. The
machinery is run by a set of 60 -horse-
power Leffell water -wheels. We con-
gratulate Mr. Van.stone on the owner-
ship of an establishment at) conaplete,
and wish him the success his Mdomit-
able perseverence and. enterprise war-
rants.
