He has reoently made several important sales. He has sold to Mr. D. McKenzie, of Owen Soond, the Clear Grit mare, Lucy, in foal to Csrliele. This is a fine mare and was sold for $300. He has also sold to Mr. Wataon Blinn, of Little Current, Ontario, his splendid Blue Bull mare. This mare was sired by the well- known horse, old Blue Ball (75) and she was sold for $500. She has by her side a mag- nificent horse foal, but Mr. Charleeworth reserves this. He has also sold to the same gentleman a yearling entire colt, sired by Carlisle by King Reene, dam, Lucy. This is a splendid colt and was sold for $300. These are all bona fide sales at the prides named and show that good, well bred horses still command liberal prices. Mr. Charles- worth still has several good breeding maree and several very promising youngeters. Those he has sold are a credit to him as a horseman and we hope they will prove pro- fitable to their new owners. Seaforth is becoming an important centre for thorough- bred horses.

This was the marriage of Mr. Willis' second el& est daughter, Miss Ella F. VVillie, to Mr. George IL White, of Tuckeramith. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. Gallo- way, pastor of the Methodist church here, in the presence of about 50 invited guests, mostly the family connections of the con- tracting parties.

He had been a member of the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company for many years. But, one year there was an unusually high aseessment _ and Mr. J McCartney was per- suaded to insure his property in the London Mutual, as he was led to believe he would get a much lower rate in that company. He took a three years' policy in the London Cempany, but long before that time was up he discovered that distant fields are not so green or fertiletes they sometimes look.

TWO YEAR OLD STEERS.— Mr. Robert Winter shipped this week to the old, coun- try, among other cattle, ten steers two years old this spring, which averaged 1,260 lbs. each. These steers were bred and fed by Mr. D. D. Wilson. They were from ordin- ary grade cows and a thoroughbred bull, but they were well fed and were kept growing from the time they were calved until they were shipped. They were sold early in the season for 5 cents per pound. It will thus be seen that these cattle realized $63 each. It takes a very good ordinary three:year old steer to weigh 1,400 lbs., so that for keeping him the additional year the owner would only realize abeut $7. But it may be safely said that his keep for the last or third year would be worth at the very least $25, so that by having their steers so they , can sell them for shipment at two years old, farmers will realize on them at least $18 per head more than they would if kept until three years old. This is a very good profit in it- self, but Obi does not represent the whole profit on the animal, but just what is made more by selling at two years old than at three. In these days of keen competition and small profits, everything depends upon how cheaply we can produce. This is one raced a mile or two before being caught. No serious damage was done.—Mr. R.

Hibbert. A BUDDING GRNIUS.—The dances and parties held in this locality lately have served many good purposes, not the least of which has been the bringing to light the most marvellous literary and musical critic of the age. I refer to your correspondent, who has been reporting these social gather- ings. True, hie reports may not have been truthful, but why expect the literary genius to hold fast to reality,—he cannot. It is the nature of genius to break all bounds. It cannot be curbed nor confined. It over- comes all obstacles. See this youth making amends for lack of early advantages by humbly sitting at the feet of a teacher each Sunday afternoon. Some read his produc- tions and are fearful for the mental condi- tion of the boy. But, subdue all such fears. Remember that genius, in its earlier stages and milder forms, is often mistaken for in- sanity. My only fear is, lest I may be making the opposite mistake. There are those who think he resembles Shakespeare, but more are convinced that " bacon " is his type. Be this as it may, we shall follow him with anxious eye, ever hoping that his " vaulting ambition will ne'er o erleap it- self."—Com. Brucefield.

MC- GREGOR, 1327-4 EXPLANATION.—In the Brimfield notes of last week an item appeared which might be taken as a reflection upon Mr. Wm. Graham. If our correspondent meant it as such we are sure he must have been misinformed as we have it on the best authority that Mr. Graham is a most honorable and respected young man and one who has bad the pluck and courage to successfully hoe his own row in life. He has left behind him no obliga- tions that will not discharge and he is now occupying a good situation in London. We are sorry if an injustice has been done him and we are sure it was unintentional. Mr. Graham is, we understand, of that class of young men whom THE EXPOSITOR would much rather commend and aid, than en- deavor to place any barrier in their way.— " THE EDITOR. A GOOD SEND OFF. —DEAR EXPOSITOR,— Your Brucefield correspondent has evideot- ly overlooked one of the most interesting events which has stirred the heart of our community for some years. Our esteemed townsman, Dr. Elliott, who has- faithfully and very successfully looked after the health interests of our people so long, is about to remove to the " Hub of the Universe," Chicago. His brother Oddfellows took the opportunity to express their appreciation of his services to the order in its noble, gener- ous aims ; to the community to whose many suffering onee he has brought comfort, heal- ing and life, by hie untiring attentions snd cheerful presence ; and their esteem of him- self as one who, by sterling werth and genial disposition has won a place deep seated in the hearts of our people. In expressing their sentiments the unanimous voice of the people of Brucefield and vicinity was spoken. Supper was served in the hall at 9.30 p. m., in good style. Brother T. Fraser occupied the chair, and in a neat speech in the name of Brucefield lodge, No. 210, presented the doctor with a gold headed cane, suitably engraved. He was followed by Brothers Armstrong, Landsborough, Simpson, McIn- tosh, Murdoch and Dallas. Never was a meeting more in accord in expressions of good will and good fellowship. The remarks of brother Simpson, who has, we regret to say, required the doctorhi services more frequently than most others, deserve special mention. In an eloquent speech he paid a high tribute to the efficiency of the self- sacrificing services rendered day and night, by the one whom all delighted to honor. Dr. Elliett replied at length, expressing The Glove trade has fully open- ed, and sales are being made rapidly. We have a very large supply, which will stand a good many busy weeks' selling yet. When looking for Gloves, take this statement into account. We have left hardly anything out of our assortment this sea- son. Try us for your Gloves, we are almost sure to suit you, and suit you well, too, both in quality and price. This Month. Heiman.
