De ceased has been in a feebled state of health for some,years caused by the in- firmities of old age, He was a former and well known resident of Centralia, for many years. His remains were in- terred in the Fairfield Cemetery on Saturday last. In the report of the • Teachers' Con- vention,which appears elsewhere in this issue, held at Goderich last week, we notiee the name of Mr. Jchn A. Gregory figuring very prominently. He took up the discussion of how to' teach phisi- ology and handled the subject in a manner that would do credit to many of the older and much more experienced teachers that were present. Mr. Gregory is a young man with bright prospects before• him. At the Stratford Assizes last week, Miss Elizabeth Sellers was awarded $5,000 damages in a breach of promise case against James James, who former- ly kept hotel in London, and who is well known here. Plaintiff was in his employ as cook for some years, and James promised to marry her, but late- ly he bad married a young woman in London, hence the suit. No one appear ed for the defence, and the jury prompt- ly gave a verdict as stated. It was a professor in one of our col- leges who said: -"A newspaper is always printed in a rush. There is always something:in it that should be left out, something left out that should have been put in. It is sometimes too quick to act, but with all its faults and short• comings there is more education in a bright, newsy paper than there is in a novel. You will find the brightest boy on practical, sensible, every -day quest- ions, is the boy who reads the news papers." Another Sor•e•artu deadbeat was in town on Thursday last and succeeded in 'roping in " several ley his pliable narrative of a scalding accident. This is the fifth tramp of this kind to our knowledge that has passed through town this summer, and they all go away with a goodly supply of"ch.ink." We haye repeatedly warned our read - ars against this class of deadbeats but it seeds they are anxious to be gulled. The ugly wound they 80 often exhibit and rope in so many dirties on, is pro- duced by an application of carbolic acid. Beware 4f theft, Commencing on Sunday the 29th day of September and continuing each day until Saturday the 5th of Octo- ber, each postoffice in Canada has kept a record 0f all the stamps cancelled at their respective offices and on the enumeration the salaries of the post- masters are based.

Seaforth: While Mr, John Roach, of this township along with others, was speeding in the rine, on the Goderich show grounds on Wednesday morning he met with a very serious accident, A horse which another gentleman was driving ahead of him became frighten- ed and jumped around directly in front of Mr. Roach, The collision threw Mr. Roach from hie sulky and he fell to the ground about ten feet away, breaking his thigh hone. He was brought home on Wednesday on a stretcher and will be confined to his bed for at least six weeks. Plympton: A. young• gent from town came down the 14th concession one evening last week to have, what he thought would be a gond time. He made for a melon patch belonging to one of the farmers but with lightning rapidity he went from that melon patch, frightened half to death for the recep- tion awarded him was a shower of shot, such as the young man in question will remember all his life. He made into the adjoining woods far fester than if pursued by wild Indians, and we trust arrived home a repentant sinner.
