IS IT SO ?-It is stated by those who
ought to know something about it that
the frequent use of the hydrants in
watering Main Street as at present, is
not doing them justice, and that they
will very soon become WCTI:1 out and
useless if use.' so frequently. This is a
matter of the greatest importance to
the town. The hydrants are very costly
articles, and the autheritiee should
thoroughly investigate the matter at
once, and if upon examination they -find
the complaint well grounded they
should discontinue their useln this way
and. get some other means of watering
the streets. It is, however, not only
the cost of the hydrants, but if they are
being worn out by this frequent usa, the
security of the system is very much
lessened, and they are rendered more
liable to go out of repair and become
useless just at the very time when they
are most needed.
A GOOD DAY'S WORK. -The best pos-
sible evidence of the popularity of the
McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Com-
pany with the people, and the efficiency
of its management, is to be found in the
large accession to its membership which
is continually taking place. , At the
last monthly naeeting of the Committee
of Directors for examining policies, held
on Saturday last, the large number of
101 new applications were passed,
effecting an insurance on property to
the value of $125,500. Thus far this
season the company have been re-
markably fortunate, not having had a
single loss to speak of, and light as the
rate of assessment was last year it bids
fair to be even more insignificant this
year. The merits of this Company are
now becoming Bo well known that it does
not need any pushing or canvassing,
but in rnost•cases the people come for-
ward voluntarily and seek admission.
Should the management exercise the
same discretion that has characterized
their past eourse, and continue to work
harnaonionsly,there is not the least doubt
but this prosperity will ,not only con-
tinue but increase, and. that a bright
and useful future is in store for this
excellent company. Judging from
present appearances, Mr. Shannon, the
obliging and competent Secretary and
Treasurer will have his hands full this
season writing new policies and looking
after the business generally, and we
predict that the day is not far distant
when the volume of business will be
such that he will have to devote his
whole time and undivided attention to it.
THE CIRCUS. -Shelby, Pullman and
Hamilton's Circus brought a large
crowd to town on Wednesday last.
Early iu the morning people came
pouring in from the country, and at
about ten o'clock as the procession passed
along, each side of Main street was
lined from one end to the other with a
solid mass of people. The procession was
of the usual kind, and seemed greatly to
delight the youngsters and some of the
elder ones as well. When, . the clown,
riding in his donkey cart, brought up
the -rear he was followed and surround-
ed by a delighted throng, among whom
were not a few old men and women who
seemed for the time to forget their
years, and all unmindful of the mud
through which they were wading, join-
ed the enthusiastic crowd, and followed
up the procession as eagerly and. evident-
ly with as much delight as those fifty
or sixty year their juniors. The Com-
pany were greeted by good houses both
in the afternoon and evening. The
menagerie department was not large
but the specimens shewn were very
good and seemed to be well kept. The
circus performances, with the exception
of the horsemanship, were excellent,
raany feats surpassing anything of the
kind usually seen. The horseman-
ship, which used to be the most
attractive feature of circuses, SOOMB to
be degenerating, and it is a very rare
thing now that good riding is seen at a
circne. What the reason for thia is we
do not know. It is a pity, however,
that it is so. With this exception, there-
fore, the circus on 'Wednesday was a
very good one, the performances of the
two small children on the trapeze sur-
passing anything of the kind WO have
ever seen here, and as the manager
stated, was alone worth the price of -ad-
mission, and throughout the whole
there was nothing said or done which
should offend the most sensitive.
MECHANICS' INSTITUTE ACCOUNTS. -
We have been handed the financial
statement of the retiring Treasurer of
the Seaforth Mechanics' Institute which
was adopted at a recent meeting of the
• members, with a request to publish it
in frill if we could do so for nothing.
As the most interesting portions of the
report have already appeared in an-
other form in the report of the Librar-
ian, and as it is very lengthy and would
at best be interesting only to a very
small proportion of our readers, we do
not think it necessary to devote the re-
quired space to it. We may say, how-
ever', that we learn from this report a
matter which is not creditable to our
citizens, and. that is, that the necessary
expenses ofthe Institute proper for last
year exceeded the revenue by $75.50.
The total liabilities of the Institute
proper foot up to $351.33. The defi-
ciency for the year between the receipts
aud expenses of the Reoreation Room,
according to this report, aruounted to
$98.68 ; the expenses being 5236.53, and
the receipts $137.84. The total lia-
bilities of the Institute now amount to
$930.11. Considering the value of the
property in the possession of the Insti-
tute, this is not a bad condition of
affairs, but there should be revenue
enongh contributed to keep the Insti-
tute from running behind. The deficits
of the past year, however, under the
circumstances, need not surprise any
orte who has paid any attention to the
proceedings. The year has been noted
for the bickerings, quarreliags, and bit-
ter writings of some of those 4h took
in active part in .manageuzez4t, arid
all of which must have had a mot pre-
jaidicial effect upon the Institut. e
hope those in autlibrity will proit ly
past experience and eschew this ort pf
thing, and if they; work harroo ious y
and agreeably together and pile e tllie
interests of the Inatitute above, nd t2iabe-

FIRAEER AND IHIS DISTURBERS. -
Editor, -In your issue of the 20th nt.,
and under the heading of Winthro , I
notice a communication from a per on
signing himself "Farmer," in wh ch
complaints are made of uneeemly nd
unbecoming conduct on the part of
young men returning frona Gra ge
meetings. NoW, sir, none are per it -
ted to attend [these meetings exc pt
those who are members, and con e-
quently the aocusation applies w th
equal discredit upon every member of
the Grangers' !organization here, and
being a member of Winthrop Grang , I
wish to say th.at the charge i iin-.
founded and Slanderous. It may be
that occaaionally a few hurrahs may be
given in a good natured way„ but that
there is any disturbance or stone throw-
ing, or anything of that sort, 1 emphiti-
cally deny and challenge proof. I m
afraid that the so-called "Farmer' is
having his corns trod upon more he v-
ily by the Grange than he likes, nd
takes this way of having revenge n on
his supposed enemies. Instead of y-
ing to the press with his suppo ed
grievances, it would be much m re
manly for him to lay his complaint e -
fore the officers of the Grange, whe , I
can assure him, his grievance will be
thoroughly and impartially inve ti -
gated, and if 3 is found valid, • he ill
not have farther cause for complai t,
as the Grangers have no wish to inj re
or annoy any person, but desire to 1 ve
at peace with all men. Hoping ou.,.

will insert this, and oblige, yours, &c.
