It will he re- membered Chambers was up before the recentiall assizes at C,oderich and his trial was postponed until next spring, and bail for his app. aranee was refused. el Hence the application at Toronto. A number of affidavits were produCed be - fare the court proving an alibi and pur- porting to show that at the time Cham- bers was supposed to be in Clinton he was in Port Arthur. Contraryto the strong expostulations of the crovrn, the judge made an order admitting the prisoner to bail, himself in $2,000 and • # rrHE uLTNTOX SHOW.—The Cl.nton show, which was held on Mo day, Tnesday and Wednesday of this week, was the most successful that has been held under ;the 'pew regime. Ther was a large increase lin entries and a co Bid- erable increaseLin gate receipts over termer yeas. The weather throu hout was delightful aud the programme was well fulfilled, and provedinterestin and satisfying to the spectators. The inside department was, as usual, beaurfully and tastefully arranged and eally formed the principal attraction f the allow. The out -door departmen was also good, the stock, particulaily in horses being fully equal to an thing shown in' the county this sea.sei . On the whole, the -show was a gratifying success. The managers of this ; show have manifested a degree of 'enterprise and energy calculated to secure.sucecsa, while the business men of the town have teken a deep interest in it and do everything he their power to increase its interest and ii.11 well deserve the suc- cess they have achieved. The prize list will be publishe'd next week. -40 ` Neale Fetoei MezetTona.--Meusrs. H. Manson, James Dallas and Robert Mc- Cartney, three :young farmers 1 of the township of Tuckersmith, r turned home last week from an extended tour through Manitolta and the Northwest. They had determined to go and see the country and peeple for themselves, so they would not have to depend upon what other people say, and they were '. They say there is an of wheat, the like of saw before. It is ex- ,not disappointe immense crop which they neve pected by those on the spot that there will be over 12,000,000 bushels for ex- port. It hat been slightly damaged by frost in some senstions, but still they say there will be 1,a large yield of good wheat. The wheat crop of Buffalo Lake district alone, it is said, will exceed 35,000 bnahels. Mr. Hugh Gilmour and sons, formerly of Stanley, will this year thresh out between four and five thous- and bushels of4heat. Messrs. Moffatt, McCartney, Ronat and Thompson, all former Huronites, say they never- had such crops of wheat, and all are looking for lively times this winter. Another lold Tuck,ersmit man, Mr. Geo. Plewes, who went opt ast spring to Boissevain district, I was also seen. Himself and his sons have a grand crop of !wheat, which is very epeouraging for the first season in the coUntry. In their travels they ran across mer Huronites, doing well and also called on Richard 'Yew] a, great many more for - and they all seem to be ppear contented. They the Messrs. McTavish, , Mustard, the 4ngus fa.mily and A. Forsythe, all form rly of Tuckersmith. They are all doing well. They are located on the Manitoba, and Northwestern railway, in Neepawa dis- trict. The fanners here engage more in mixed farming, and do not depend so much on wheat' a,s in some other a t p s. During the first-half of this year the ay there was over $35,000 worth of bee old, which was the product of this par of the con*. try. They also visited- th Manitoba I Experimental Farm, ne r l Brandon, and were much pleased wit ,what the saw there. Everything s kept in fir t -class order, and the far has this year an exhibit of its produc s -at all the fairs. It is intended to g t up a herd Pf cattle from Ottawa this f 11 for the farm; They were very mu h pleased with the town of Brandon, ai d being situated in'the centre of a splend d and rich Vheat growing district th y predict' fo it a bright future. WW1° staying th, re they had an opportunity f seeing 2,1 0 acres -of wheat, all in stoo s and in ne field, and two steamers busily at Work threshing the grain a d having in attendance a crew of 58 me i. They say they feel well repaid for t 10 time and money the trip cost them, a d speak in the highest terms of the tray l- ing comforts afforded by 'the Canadi n Pacific Railway, andthe courtesy a d kindness of the officials. We ho e, however, our young friends will r ot have best° e so enamored of the Prai ie Province hat they will be induced to, pull up et kes and go there to reti e. Of course, we would rather they woi Id go there than to the United States, 1 ut we hope they will be content to remain right here in old Huron, the banzler county of Canada, even if she can't p o - duce so miich frozen wheat as they lo some other places. We are also oblig a to the yohng men for the informati n they have given our readers. THE GclnEaics SEow.—The Godeech Signal makes the fallowing reference to the show held in that town last we k. It says: "The Northwestern Fair or 1891 is ov r, and the general opinion is that it as not the success of forr pier years. Ft r the first time since its n - caption was the weather favorable, 1 ut that fact did not hinder a retrogrl de moveneen • The reason is not far to seek. The management required a shaking up. New blood is required i nd men of ideas are wanted. The Nor h - western has grown out of the ss all clothes of the township branch soci ty, and canunt be handled by men work ng on old methods. There is room for a big exhition in Goderich, and no t wn ll r in the on Tract has gone to gre ter expense in fitting up grounds and bu ld- ings suitable for ,the holding of a big show, bu nothing can be expected u til the live usiness men of the town t ke hold of tie scheme. It is time for the " back n mbers " to take aback sea if the Non western is to be saved f om extinctio . Another year will ei her make orj break the Northwestern, and the only way to save it will be for the live men of the town, who have p blic spirit, energy and knowledge, to aka hold of the scheme and run it on itro- greesive methods."

While passing through Egmondville with a horse and buggy in which were him- self and a lady, he was overtaken by a team of horses that had' gi ot loose from the wagon at Jackson's cider mill and run Away. As these horeee came up alongside of his they startled it, and in pulling it up the lines broke. Mr. Bar- ry was thrown from the buggy and the horse started off at full tear with the buggy and the lady in it. The horse ran as far as Hawkshaw's hotel in this town, where, being pretty well winded, it was caught, and the lady, although badly frightened, was none the worse for her perilous ride. Mr. Barry himself, however, did not fare so well. He got his hip bone broken and MI6 otherwise bruised and injured, but under medical treatment he is getting along as well as could be expected, but being a man up- wards of seventy years of age it is hard- ly probOle that he will ever be all right again, as it im not likely the fractured bone will re -unite properly. - Loco., BRIEFS. —Mr. Devid Sproat has ',retarned from ' his trip to the Pacific Coast.

From Sarnia they proceeded to Watford on a visit to friends' returning home Monday better pleasedthan ever with old McKillop. REPLY TO RATEPAYER.—Tho readers of the two Seaforth papers were last week informed of some malicious false- hoods over the signature of Ratepayer. Ratepayer says I have been blowing my own horn too much for some months. That is No. J. I simply sent the facts to the papers and theyj published them as they pleased. In the second place,he says I have been tryieg to make the psople believe that the council, and the assessor in particular, have been making some gross mistakes. I defy him to prove that I made any such state- ment against the council, either as a body, or individually. He states that I said the by law of 1886 waS repealed. This is entirely false, as I said it never was a by law, not having been signed by the Reeve or Clerk, or sealed. He asks wby I did not give the assessor a by law and why I did not go according to the bylaw in 1889 and 1890? If he comes to- my office I will prove to him that I did. The Judge stated before half a dozen people that I was correct in mak- ing up the pathrnaeter's liets, but this ratepayer tries to make out that I was not right. His great grievance is that the council, the assessor and myself do things too correct to suit him. There are a few ratepayers, who want charity in the shape of less statute labor, lees taxes and more for their jobs than their neighbors. With this class I con- fess I am not & favorite, and apparently 'Ratepayer" is one of these. Some person set fire to some buildings in Sea - o the Commercial hotel on Thursdaye_reforth in the dark, and a man who r. and Mrs. Ashbury have gone to would write a libelous article and icago for a 'couple of w9eke holidays. hide among six hundred ratepayers is Mts.

An investigation of the scene afterwards enabled him to discover, near by on the road, as if they had been thrown there by the men when they found they were discovered, a chisel, brace and bit and labor all down,up to six thousand dollars and was handy for the assessor to carry around. He evidently thought the schedules in both bylaws were the same from $700, but they were not until after $900. Above the latter amount both are the same, and the assessor was cor- rect in his schedules up to all amouhts of $900. As long as I made no com- plaint no person. else had any trouble over the error, and it was only a few cranks who would do no labor nor pay AIR DAY E. —AT— McFAUL'S GR ND EXH I BIT —OF— FINE MILLINERY 110-D.A.TY- -AND— TO-MORROW. emsessmessmomississmommitsssma.
