STORE TO LET IN SEAFGRTH.-The SOUTH HURON AGRICULTUR&L SO-
,CIETYt-The annual meeting of the
members of the South Huron Agricul
tural Society was held at Brucefield on
Wednesday last. There was a fair hilt
not a large attendance. The reports
from the various branch societies Were
read and adopted. From these reports
we learn that the total income of the
Stanley branch was $306, being Made
up of $183 from membership fees, $42,
• entrince fees, and $81 Legislatiee
grant. The sum of $240 was paid diit
in prizes. • The total income of the
Hay Society, including balance from
- previous year, was $539. Of this sum,
$204 had been received from members,
$90 from admission to show, and $81
from Legislative grant. The sum of
$282 was paid out in prizes, and there is
a balance of $282 in the treasury. The
Stephen and Usborne branch com-
menced the, year with a balance of
$357 in the treasury, and received $404
from membership, $434 - from admis-
sion fees, and $165 from Legialative
grant, the total income of the society
for the -year beiug $1411. The sum of
$1002 was paid. out in prizes, and the
society closes the financial year with a
balance of $148 in the treasury. The
Tuckersmith Society commenced the
year with a balance of $364 in the
treasury; it received $295 from mem.-
bership; $540 from admission fees,
and $101 from Legislative grant. The
total Moore() of the society for the year
was $1379. There was paid out for
prizes and grant tolparent sooiety $700,
and at the close of the year there was a
balance of $121 in the treasury. It
will be seen that these reports show
the branch societies to be in a very sat-
isfactoryil and prosperous condition
financially., • The county society was
also proportionately prosperous during
the past year, as the report of the Di-
rectors shows. The Secretary, on be-
half of the Directors, reaa a carefully
prepared and interesting report, dealing
with the doings of the society for the
past year, and with the agricultural
prospects of the . county generally,
which- was unanimously adopted. As
we shall publish this report in full next

eleventh auniversary of • the birth of
Scotland's great poet, Robert Burns by
a .supper at Carmichael's Hotel on

SCOTCIMEN, ATTENTION. -Mr. Hamil-

calist, will give a farewell entertain-
ment in Carchio's Seaforth, on
the evening of Tuesday, February 3.
Mr. Corbett's reputation is already too
well established to reqpire commenda-

all who wish to hear the national sour-%
end stories rendered in -....,aroper style, and
who wish to enjoy a good laugh, should
remember the third of February, and
should net fail to attend Corbett's .en-
tertainment.

Pensoxae.-We are glad to notice that
Mr. Charles Lawrie is able to be
around again, although he is yet pretty
feeble, and has not entirely recovered
from the effects of his late -accident.
-We are also glad to learn that Mr.
Nelson Davidson,: who was dangeroUsly
ill for several weeks Is again sufficient-
ly- recovered to be around. Mr. David-
son has had a long and severe attack
THE LITERARY SOCIETY. -The regular
-meeting of the Literary Society on
Tuesday evening was well attended.
The debate on the National Currency
question did not take place, on account
of several of the "hard money" men
failing to put in an appearance. An
impromptu discussion . on the Free
School system was gotten up and occa-
sioned considerable interest and amuse-
ment., The decision was given iu favor
of the Free School side as opposed to
Rate -bill. The readings will take pladb
on Tuesday evening next, but we have
not been furnished with names of the
*readers. A good prograname may, how-
ever, be,expecte.d.
SENT Ur. -Two men. named John
Craig and William' Taylor were tried
before the Mayor on Monday, on a
charge of stealing moneylfrom Thomp-
son Morrison. The facts, as nearly as
we Cali learn them, are that the three
men were on a drunken spree together,
and Morrison, we suppose, being the
drunkest, lost hisamoney. He accuses
the other t*o men of robbing him, and
-a portion of the'money was found upon
them. The accused say, however, that
they found the money and kept it, al-
though they knew it was Morrison's.
They were -both sent up to Goderieh to
stand their trial. The most unfortun-
ate feature of the affair is that _both of
the men have families who are depend-
ing on them for their support, and who,
duriug their confinement, will be left in
. destitute circumstances • •

presented him with a largo and beauti
fill edition of the Bible, on his resigna-
tion of his old position as teacher m
the Sunday School. Mr. McIntyre was

amazement may be better imagined
than described, when he saw so many
of his friends and well-wishers Come
and take possession of his house, with-
out the least warning. On order being
restored, a piece of music was rendered,
when the address was read and the
presentation made. Mr. McIntyre was

titled "The Prince of the House of
David," by . an old co-worker in the
Sunday School. His reply was short,
but full of deep feeling and gratitude.

thus modestly discourses - Mr Ham
, on, 01 Montreal, visited us this week.
In shaking hands with him it brought
-
forcibly to our memory the scene enact-
ed on the 12t1I of July, 1878, when we
headed a procession of Orangemen'
through the streets of Montreal. We
were so fortunate as to escape arrest at
that time, although pursued by the mob,
but Mr. Hamilton cannot assert the
same, as he was captured and placed in
durance vile for a few hours." Where-
upon he of the Wiiagharn Times, re-
marks: It also brought forcibly to
our memory the scene enacted on the
12th of July, 1878, in Montreal. .
We
were in that city at the time, being on
the staff of one of the daily papers, and
saw the whole proceedings of the day.
We did not see any procession, or any
one heading it, nor was there one Nor
did we see the mob chasing the editor
of the Star; We think that the editor
of that paper must have a very elastic
imagination, or he could not have
stretched out the &lathlike he did in or-
der to make himself a bit of a hero."
It will now be in order for Alick to
rise and explain. The public must
