GOOD ENTERTAINMENTS. —There has a r ways been a complaint in Seaforth that really first-clase entertainments, outside • those by local taleet,are ever given here,ar one often hears the desire expressed the eomething really good would come here. order to matiefy this demand a couple ot gentlemen in town are making arrangements for a few concerts by the best talent that can be obtained, and if Seaforth people do not get their wish this winter it will be be- cause they are not willing to support such an effort, The first of these entertainments will be given by Mr. Grenville Percy Kleis- er, the well-known reader and star couise cenductor of New York and Toreinto, in the latter part of November. Tee BOW PARK-. SAL-E.—The great sale et Bow Perk atm* farm came off ,on • Wed- nesday. There was a good atternrance. The farm Was not sold. It consists of 961 acres, the upset priee being $35,000, and there be- ing no bids above this figure, it was -with- driewn. The stock sale being without reserve, all the animals offered, 41 in num- ber, were sold, bat at very moderate prices. The auctioneer was Colonel J. W. Judd, of Chicago. The females, numbering 34, were sold at a total of $4,165, or an average of about $123, Tbe males, seven in- number, sold for $535, or at an average of about $77, The grand total received was $4,700, mak- ing an average of about $114.50. From this it will be seen that the price paid for bulls was much below that paid for cows and heifers. The bidding was not very brisk. The highest price paid was $400,and the lowest $45. There were, no purchases made for thieecounty. SUDDEN DEATH.—One day last, week Mr. end Mrs. Thomas Taylor arrived here from :Battle Creek, Michigan.
