GREAT OATS.—Mr. A. Modeland, who re-
sides on the 2nd concession of Tuokersmith,
west of Egmondville, has shown us a sample
of eater whioh are well deserving of mention.
These oats are of the White Russian variety
and they have grown since the late hail
storm. The heads measure 18 inches in
length and are heavily loaded with large
grain. Ten heads are grown from one ker-
nel. Mr. Modeland had 15 acres of oats of
this variety this year, and had they not
been beatten down and destroyed by the
hail, would have been a magnificent crop.
Mr. Modeland says they will not rad and
'are the most prolific and profitable variety
he has ever grown.

this town.' The ceremony was performed
by Rev. N. Shaw, pastor of Egmondville
church, and was witnessed only by a few of
the more immediate frienda of the contract-

ding breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Turner were
accompanied to the station, where they
took the morning train for the east, where
they will spend their honeymoon before re-
turning to Seaforth and settling down to
the sterner realities of life in their comfort-
able home here. Mr. and Mrs. Turner

SEAFOR.T11 AT STRATFORD. —The band and
firemen, together with quite a large contin-
gent of citizens, went to Stratford on Mon-
day, to take part in and witness the Labor
pay celebration there. The firemen com-
peted in the hose reel contest -jig which they
eecured second prize the Mitchell brigade
winning tirst. Our 'boys made an excep-
tionally good run and it looked as though
first money was theirs, hut in the coupling
a mistake was made, which necessitated
their going over the work again, aid in this
they lost so much time that it completely
off set the good run. It was just one of
those mishaps which will sometimes occur,
and considering it they did exceptionally
well to get second place. The band com-
petition was a close one. The struggle for
first place was between our own band and
the Dandas band. Two tests were made in
the afternoon and each resulted in a draw.
In the evening a third trial was made and
in this the Dundee men were awarded the
greatest number of points, thus putting the
beaforth boys in second place. -Both our
organizations acquitted themselves most
creditably and we are just as proud of them
as though they had °erne out on the top of
the heap.

EXPLANATION.—DEAR ExPOSITOR,—SoMe
time ago there appeared in the col emus of
several local papers an item under t,ee head-
ing " Usborne," whicb reflects upon. my
character and does me a gross injuetice. I
have delayed replying in the hope that the
Professor of music referred to, who: knows
how false and misleading are the statements
then made, would write a contradiction and
correction, as I would not do him the in-
justice to suppose that the said Rein was
in any way inspired by him. This riot bay-
ing been done, I am compelled, reluotantly,
to state the facts in the case and leaVe your
readers to judge if I am as the correspon-
dent says, " A man who bas neither con-
science nor principle." The item referred
to is so worded as to produce the impreseion
that only one quarters lessons were given
and that for an occardorial tea at the close
'of the lessons the wholed quarters pay (viz.
seven dollars,) was charged. NoW, what
are the facts ? Five quarters' lessonel were
given, for which the sum of thirty-five
dollars was paid—seven for ' each qharter—
