THAT WOOL.—The Huron Expositor,
Beaforth,--In the letter addressed by me
to your paper, and published in the issue
of the 17th inst., I did not mean to
state or insinuate that John S. Porter
stole my fleece, or intentionally appro-
priated it to his own use, or that he
committed any criminal offence with
reference thereto, or did anything that
could be called an offence in law with
regard to my wool. Yours, &C., JAXES
PICKARD.
DOINGS IN Couecne—At the meeting
of Council held on Monday evening
last.the Clerk was instructed to procure
a barrel of lamp glasees and three bar-
rels of coal oil for the use of the town.
The health committee were instructed
to make a report at the next1Meeting of
Council respecting the sanitary con-
dition of the town. Councillor Camp-
bell gave notice that at the next meet-
ing he would move to amend the dog
by-law so as to make it provide or the
impounding of dogs found running at
large without the regulation tag previous
to destroying them. After passing ac-
counts amounting in all to $242 the
Council adjourned for two weeks.

says: I reached here saIely on Satur-
day evening of the week left Seaforth

Dave McCloy slapped me on the shoul-

who will assist hitn an this occas on is
Professor Jones, of Setaforth. Thi gen-

entertainment will be one of the best, if
not the best ever given in Blnevale, and
all who do not attend. will miss a rare
musical treat. There should be a
crowded house.

SHEEP WORRIED. On Wedn sday
night of last week Nir. Wm. Selley, of
the 9th concession f Hibbert, h a 15
sheep and 12 lamb worried by dogs,
and seven of these w re Bo badly torn
and mangled that h does not expect
they will recover. n going out early
in the morning Mr. ellery noticed his
sheep scattered arouiid the field, and OR
going to seo what wa the matter two
dogs jumped over th fence in front of
him. One of the d gs he recogaized,
but the other he did iot know, and was
unable to keep track of him. The one
dog belongel to Mr. Wi11iam Bickle, of
the 9th concession, who immediately
destroyed it on learniag the facts. There
being no dog tax collected in Hibbert
Mr. Sellery will likely have to bear the
loss himself, as the township is not res.

raising on the farm a Mr. Molienaie on
the road between Bretcefield and yarnai.
A young man named! Colin McDonald,
son of hitt. Dunoap McDonald, of
Tuckersmith, near 1rucefie1d, fell froth
the top of the buildi g to the ground,
a distance of about 2 feet, and receive
such severe injuries hat he is not likel
to recover. It se -em one of the plate
had been raised up b the men ,below
when the pike Pole, hich was helding
it commenced to slip Young McDonald
came along the plate and righte the
pike pole, when the men attemp ed to
shove the plate to its place, but instead
of going straight forward as was expect-
ed, it turned round, e.nd the young man
losing his footing fell to the ground
head formost as above deseribed.
Medical aid was promptly sumnioned,
but very slight hop** are entertained of
of his recovery, as his lower extremities
are completely paralyzed. The sad
affair was purely accidental, and was
not due in any respeet to carelessness or
rashness on thepartof anyone.

FARMER vs. GRA.NGERS.—Mr. Editor—
Sir: I notice in a communication in
your paper of the. 17th inst., a letter
from one signing hhateelf " Farmer," in
which he uses my name to beck up
some of his assertions against the Grille-
gers, with whom he- seems to be et
variance. In the firet place he rows mly
name without my knowledge or consent.
This I wish to be dietinctly understood.
In the second place, I heard no distur-
bance or noise whatever on the night
to which he refer. I am as easily
wakened in my sleepas any other indi-
i
vidual ia Winthrop, and had there been
any unusual noise would have heard
it. I have known t e Grange and its
members ever since 't has been organ-
ized, and consider I am able to jnd e
for myself, and the result of Day jud
meat is that the Gr ngers each and 11
are as respectable a class of people as I
would desire, and ainst whom 1 ha''e
no cause of any c mplaint whatever.
Hoping you will in rt this and oblige,
I remain, yoms, &o., Wieetalt Coos.
ED. Noric..—We have also received a letter frofn
" Granger " in reply to that from " Farmer "
which appeared last week, but as it is rath
lengthy our apace forbids its publication this week..
It will appear in our next '
Hay.

GOOD FkLL Wei 4.—It is not often
this year that we Meet with farmers
who can boast of their fall wheat, but
Mr. William Stew rt, of the 8th conces-
sion of this towntlhip, seems to be an
eXception. He hae a field of ten acres
which he assures is will ayerage four
feet two inches iii length. It is also
thick on the green d and well headed
mit, and promises big crop. The land
is high and retitle end was summer-

censiderable loss.

LIGHTNING.—Two horses belonging to
Nr. Cooper, Stanley, were struck and
k lled by lightning during the storm en

t say that a lit e foal which was

FOR MANITOBA.+—MT. Alexander Dav-
idson, brother ofi Mr. A. Davidson, of
riarton Brae, sailed from G-oderich by
t e steamer Qeebec, for Duluth on
Saturday last. He goes from thence to
Manitoba. It is his intention, if he
likes the country to locate there. We
are sorry our youtig friend has left Tuck-
earamith, but wish him every possible
saccess in the Great Lone Land. He is
jest the right kind of a man to succeed,
and we have no doubt but he will do
better there than he could do here.
THE ANCIENT LEADERS.—Not a little
amusement was Occasioned at the barn
raising on the feral of Mr. Charles Eb-
erhart, about a mile east of Egmond-
ville, one day last week, by the choosing
as leaders of a coeple of old residents in
the persons of lr. John C of
the Mill Road, aud Mr. Daniel Kennedy.
Twenty years age these veterans were
oonsideren A 1 men on such occasions,
' but time has at length made them both
" not so smart as they used to was."
However, on this occasion they display-
: ed wonderful agility and skill, and the
building under their captaincy went up
ha quick order. Mr. Cameron's side,
however, got through first, which gave
brother John a chance to crow at the
expense of his vanquished but good
aatured oppone t, all of which made
lots of fun for th se who attended the
°‘11seting.
Iereo{retirees. Notwithstanding the
almost total faller° of the wheat crop in
this township this year, in passing
through the various concessions we have
never Been so meet), substantial improve-
ments going on n the shape of new
barns, old ones reesed and stone founda-
tions put under them, under -draining,
fencing, &c., t1 every direction you
travel. We mig t mention a few of the
parties, and first we will take those in
the building line. A new brick eharch
at Chiselhurst ; puncan McLean, new
atone foundation for barn: James Mc-
Farlane, new stone foundation for barn;
Thomas Robertson, new stone founda-
tion for barn; Wm. McDougall, new
stone foundation for barn; Peter Day -
mond, new stone foundation for barn;
Wm. Chapman, new stone foundation
eorbarn ; Archie McGregor, new stone
foundation for barn; James McLean,
tiew stone foundation for barn; John
Lindsay, new stone foundation for barn;
James Houston, new stone foundation 1 REMOVAL, REMOVAL
for barn ; Wm. Alleti, new stone foun-
dation for barn; James McIntosh, new
stone foundation for barn. Itt addition
to these Mr. James Pickard hae erected
the largest barn that we ever attended
the raising of, and the splendid frame as
well as the correct manner in which it A f!
went together is creditable indeed te, "1 1"
workmansliip and skill of Mr. Keating,
the framer, and a Satisfa.ction to the
proprietor. Next come the new barna
of Mr. Babols and Mr. Charles Eber-
hart, which, though not so extensive,
are neat and commodious buildings.
Mr. John Hannah, our worthy deputy
reeve, is not lagging in the march of
improvement. He has wisely taken
down an old dilapidated building and
replaced it with al;ne etructure that
has a magnifieent ppearance on the
castle hill. Mr. James Johnston, his
neighbor, has followed snit and raised
and renewed an old barn and put a
stone foundation uuder it, while Mr.
Joseph Fowler and Mr. John Hugill
have done likewise. I am sure that
none of these parties will regret the
trouble or expense they have been at
after one winter's experience of the
convenience and comfort to themselves
and their stock. The old Ex. is also
making large additions to his barracks.
He must be expecting another Fenian
raid when he is providing so much ac-
commodation. In the fencing line the
names are too numerous to mention,
but the Messrs. J.- and T. Broadfoot
take the palm. Others may count their
rods but they count by the mile. Suffice
it to say, in concluston, that the im-
provements are of a lasting and sub-
stantial nature, an1 old dilapidated
barns and fences are fast becoming s
thing of the past as well as the frog
ponds and worthless ewanaps.—Co.

MA'TTERS AND IHINGS.—MR. EDITOR,
IR—As this is the 'first time I have
Jroubled you, I hope you will spare me
a little space in the columns of your
valuable newspaper. As I was return-
ing home from Mitchell on Wednesday
last, I noticed a part of side line 10 and
11 newly gravelled, about 70 or 80 rods
or thereabouts. I am told the council-
lor for that ward, namely ward. 2,
managed to get a grant of $200 for 'that
ideline, and I am Informed on good
e•uthority that the greater part of that
eum will be expended on said side line
extending 2 miles north from` the
Huron Road, which I consider is very
unjust on the part of our councillor,
who made such flattering promises to
his constituents at the nomination,
which is the case with most of thern
until they are elected. But I must say
Mr. John Horan was the only mani who
ever gave us north people fair dealing.
He may have his faults but he was
strictly honest. He {was sometimes ac-
cused of letting jobs privately, but lam
told our present councillor does the
same, so I think the l sooner this town-
ship is out of wards the better kir all
parties. It ought to get a trial by
general vote of the ratepayers. ; Mr.
Holland will please , explain his Object
for trilling with the public funds, as he
has done by giving an exorbant figure
for hauling gravel, hiring men to fill
gravel, and also a man at the duMp for
a dollar a day, when one man itt! one
day could spread all the gravel hauled
in four days. It looks as if he wee only
there for an excuse; and if Mr. H011and
wanted to bestow a charity on hirn he
should place him on that list. tours,

Th DAKOTk.—Mr. Reuben Beldeia,who
went out to Dakota last spring, is doing
well out there and likes the country
much. He is located in Northern Da-
kota, whioh, he writes, is an excellent
farming district. He expects to accu-
mulate the " ducats " pretty lively out
there during the next few years. May
he prosper.
Beows OVER. —A barn on the farm of
Mr. Donald McDonald, 2nd concession
of Grey, had been raised up off the
ground and supported in the way such
things are usually done. It was intend-
ed to Put a stone wall underneath it.
Everything was dn readiness for the
work to be conmenced—the owner
being absent trona home getting a tank
to draw the water with—when the wind
storm of last Moaday sprang upon the
scene and razed. the entire fabric to the
ground after the Most orthodox fashion,
leaving it a complete wreck.
FERSONAL.—Dr, John lIanailton and
wife, of Pompeii, Michigan, are paying
a -visit to their daeghter, Mrs. Taylor, of
Grey township, near here.—Mr. Daniel
McGillicuddy, one of the editors of the
Huron Signal, a sharp, lively writer,
and a veritable ;Attila in newspaper
warfare, was seer up in this part of the
country on Monday. He looked well,
and we never before knew or thought
that he could don such good clothes or
occupy them sO, jauntily as he did.
Verily, he can never more claim kind-
red in the matter of wardrobe with the
Cherokee Chief ae he was wont to do.

STRUCK BY Thursday
evening the 16th inst., the barn of Mr.
G. Ingram, of Tuckersraith, was struck
by lightning. The electric fluid came
in contact with the centre of the roof,

post , to the ground sill, 'shivering it to
atom,aad then passed into the ground
.
without doing farther, injury. The
barn whett struck contained four hones.
We congratulate Mr. Ingram on hie
narrow escape from what came so near-
ly proving a serious loss to him.
