David Scott, f INToicillap, has been appointed agent or this section for the Messrs. Game. agricultural implement manu- facturers of Hamilton, and will have general control of the business of this • firm in this district. Mr. Scott is a I thoroughly reliable man, and has had considerable experience in the imple- ment business, and the Messrs. Gurney are foritimate in having secured his ser- vices. VOT OF THANKS. -At the 'meeting of the members - of the Tuckersmith Bran°. 1 Agricultural Society held last week, a resolution w unanimously passe4 tendering the th nks of the So- ciety t the business in n of Seaforth and otjhers who contributed se liberse ally tc the special prize list for the last • show. This acknowledgment is well deserved., as our townspeople have 'al- ways ealt moat liberally with. the Ag.. ricultaral Society, and we hope they will oclatinue to do so. A little from each ili never missed, and when the whole is pab together it helps greatly to swell. out the prize list, and encour - ages allarger and better exhibit at the annual fall show than there would otherwise be. Goo SHEEP .-Mr. Hugh Love, of Hills Green, and Mr. James Cooper, of the London Road, Tackerstaith, have it/at sent to the old country for six Shropthire Down ewes and two rams allele, tlud they expect them here about the middle. of February. The Shrop- shire Downs are a small, hardy breed of aheitp, and produce a. fine Wool which now takes the market nauch better than the 'Dag, coarse wool of the Leicesters and Cetswolds. It would seem that these latter have had their day, an.d that the South Downs and Shropshire Dolma are to be the fashionable breede for so4ne time. At any rate, both these latter are now in great demand, and lilessr. Love and Cooper, both of whori4 have long been prominent sheep breedera, are wise in thus preparing for the insevitable change. DR. WILD'S LECTURE. -Many .of OUT readers will be pleased to learn that an opportunity will be afforded them to listen to a lecture from the now cele- brated Dr. Wild, of Bond street ClaurCh, Toronto. The members of Britannia Masonic Lodge have cora- pleted arrangements with the Doctor to deliver his lecture, entitled “The Prophet jeremieh's Visit to Old Ire- land.t' The date for the lecture has been fixed for Tuesday evening, the 7th. of February, and Cardno's Hall has been !secured for the occasion. The admission fee has been placed at 25 cents'. Dr. Wild's fame as a lecturer and orator is new so wide spread. that any Words ef commendation from us would be superfluous, suffice it to say that his lecture on this subject is most highly &pollen of by those who have heard it, and is in itself sufficient to justify a large audience. 1 ..raseteresiox.-A naraber of eaft ladiea of the Presbyterian congregation ef thils town invaded the residence of J. D. Wilsari on Friday evening Iast, end after getting settled, presente4 Miss Tena_ Wilson with a compArnentary address, accompanied lay a I handsome, silver jewel casket.

Miss Wilson was taken completely by surprise, as the ladies, strange as it may seem,. kept their, Secret so well chat she knew nothiing of what was coming until the preseetatiou was made. After these fernaal proceedings the vieitols were hospitably entertained by Mrs. Wilson, and m very pleasant evening was spent. A FAVORED SE CTioN.-For Some good reason, we have no doubt, this section of the country, lying between Godetich and Stratford and Walton siadn4ippen, is just now, particularly • „ THE SOUTH RICING AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. -The annual meeting of the members of the South Huron Agricul- tural Society, was held at Turner's Ho- tel, Brucefield, on Wednesday last. There was not a very large attendance. These meetings are not nearly so large- litattended as they should be. At the meeting on Wednesday there were a few new faces, but the attendance was composed principally of the old stand- bys of the Society. The Treasurer's report showed that the year had been commenced with 98 cents in the treas- ury, and closed with a !surplus of $109.83- to the good. The total re- ceipts of the Society during the year amounted to $1,853.73. Of this sum 077.67 had been paid to the township societies as their portion of the legisla- tive and county grants; $182 was paid in prizes for stallions and bulls at the spring show, and $894.75 for prizes at the fall show. The amount received for membership fees for the past year, was $117, and the grant from the Stephen and Usborne branch was $900. On the whole, the Society isin as good a position financially as it has been for many years. The report of the Direc- tors, which was prepared by thp Secre- tary, is an interesting resume of the agricultural events •of the year in the riding, as well as of the doings of the Society. This report, as well as the financial statement, were a,dopted un- animously by the meeting.We have on hand. a copy of this report, but space forbids its publication, this week, but it will appear in our next. The follow- ing officers and directors -were elected for the current year: President -Jas. Pickard, Exeter; 1st Vice -President - Hugh Love, Hill's Green; ‘,2nd Vice - President -William Wilson,Heiman ; Secretary and Treasurer -G. E. Cress. well, Egmondville; Auditors -Messrs. G. E. Jackson, EgmoncliTille, and W. C. Charters, Hensall. Directors- Goderich Township, G. Elliott; Stan- ley, Thomae Sim.pson ; Hay, Robert McAllister; Stephen, John Willis; Exeter, Thomas Russel; Usborne, L. Hunter; Tuckersmith, Robert Dickson and Wm. Bell; Seaforth-Dr. Coleman. The question of the propriety.'of taking steps to try and secure an anealgama- tion of the three riding societies, so as to have one good county show, was brotight up, but owing to several who had come bee the train having to lave immediately after the other business was disposed of, time would. not per- mit of its discussion. We may state, however, that many at the meeting were strongly in favor of a movement in this direction, and we have no doubt but if the scheme were properly taken hold of that it could be carried out to a successful issue. It is generally ad- mitted that the riding i3ocieties, as now constituted and conducted, are little better than a farce, and are productive of little good, as all that they accom- plish would be done equally well by the local branch societies. • °sting leoture "A Summer in Pasta s Land," in the 'Methodist Church in this town on Monday evening, February 6. • 'Stanley. , Ritoovnantet.-We are glad to learn that Mr. Jose& Higgins is slowly ro- il coveringollthough he is not yet ut- ficiently well to permit of his remeval to his home. c• FARIS RENT. -Mr. Frank Goodtvin has rented hia farm, east half of lot 25 and part of lot 24, in the 4111 cion - cession of Stanley, to Mr. Valentine Diehl, for a term of five years, at an annual rental of $180.

EDI OR, -Sia,---In yourAssue of the 6th i st., Mr. Lee, of ffanitoba, formerlyl oil Varna mills, accuses me of tryin to slander him and his family concer ing a certain note for the sum of , 60. Now, Mr. Lee says this note Was Iduly signed by in, which I most emphatic- ally deny. This note was not signed by me, consequently, if my signature is attached to the note it is a forgery. Mr. Lee defies me to say truthfully that he or any of his family have been guilty of the crime of forgery. It is -very strange that the said note has never been presented to me for pay- ment, either by Mr. Lee or any other person. The first intiraatioa I had of suclaa notebeing in existence wap a protest from the Canadian Bank of Commerce. If this was an honest note, as Mr. Lee' claims it was,why did he not press for payment on his return from Manitoba. Instead of waiting until the eve of his departure and concoct- ing such a base falsehood as appeared in ,your issue of the 6th inst. The above Is a true statement of the case, and if Mr. Lee does not want his reputation brought before a court of justice ashe threatens he had bdter drop this matter.
