will regret to learn Of the very sudden
death of Mr. George Biggar, of Seaforth

place at his tesidence at4eut 7 o'clock: on
Friday evening- of last week. Mr. Big-
ger was a ViCtim of disease of the heart.
He had not &en feeling well for two or
three days previously, but Was not so ill
• as to incapaoitate him for business, and
even during the whole of _ Friday until .
about 5 o'clock in the evening he was
going about the town as usual. About
6 o'clock he took suddenly worse, and
continued getting worse until about 7
o'clock, when he fell back on the floor in
a fit and expired almost instantly. Mr.
Edward Cash was in the house at the
time, and was doing everything he could
to relieve his pain, and had. a hold of
him by his hands at the time he fell and
expired. Mrs. Biggar at that thee had
gone for the doctor'and before she re-
turned he was dead. Mi. Biggar was an
old resident of this County; having been
agent for the Canada Company for many
years. Some !meths ago he was pro-
moted. in the service, andin order to be
more centrally and conveniently situ-
ated he re -Moved from Walton to Sea -

To COlaiiESPONDENTS.--WO ha-ve this
week received several letters comment,-
ing on the conduct of the 'old Connell,
and referring to the characters of several
of the aspirants for municipal honors in
this township, but we Italie thought it
prudent and just not to publish any of
them, for the reason that it will be im-
possible for the candidatescharged. with
derelictions of duty, &c. to make reply
before election_ day. Were we, there-
fore, under these circumstances, to give
publicity to charges against candidates,
and adverse criticism of their acts, we
would.be doing an injustice. For this
reason, ancl no other, we suppress the
lOtters referred to. •

EXAMINATION AND PRESENTATION. -
The half -yearly examination of School
Section No. I, Turnbenaa took place on
Tuesday,. 22d ult. There Was a large
nurnber of pupils present, and the im-
mense crowd of • visitors, showed that
they took an. interest in the advance-
ment of the school. The pupils were
examined in the various branches of
education by -their teacher, Miss Lands -
borough, assisted by Mesas's. Douglas
and Stewart, and acquitted themselves
in a manner which reflects great credit
on both pupils and • teacher. Their
knowledge of general geography was
truly Wonderful. The manlier in which
they acquitted. themsele es ijj1 aa•ithinetic
reflects special credit upon Miss Lands -
borough, their teacher, as uuless they
had undergone a thorough training on
principles and deductioas they would
not have been capable of solving the dif-
ficult questions with whieh they were
tested. We understand s that Miss
Landsborough has resigned her -position
as a teacher of the school, much to the
regret of the whole schoel.. All appeared
to be highly pleased with the examina-
tion, but deeply sorrowfal at the thought
of parting with their teacher. The pu-
pils manifested their regret by present-
ing Miss Landsboreugh with a beautiful
••
Bible, accompanied with` an address ex-
Tuakeranaithpressing the regret they felt at losing
her as a teacher. Miss Landsborough
made a suitable reply.
• THE TOWNSHIP BOARD. -The Town-
ship Board system'in Tuckersmith, was
voted on last week. The following sec-
tions voted in favor of it : Egmondville,
ilarpurhey, Broadfoot's, West End and
Lang's. Brucefield, Kippen and, the Red
School House sections voted adversely to
the system. The majority ' required in
favor of a Township Board; having been
acquired, the system will likely be put
to the test this year. The success of
the movement is due in a great measure
to the efforts and explanations of the
Reeve, Mr. Cresswell, who attended all
of the meetings. •
• SPELLING CONTEST. - Mr. Thomas
Kidd, of Seaforth, -presented to the
teacher of the School in Section No. 6, a

their retiring teacher, Mr. Young.
After the examination of _the various
branches, Mr. Livingstone was appointed
chairman, when he made some remarks
complimentary to Mr. Young. The
pupils then presented their teacher with
a handsome gold chain and locket to

to state that Mr. Duff has his school
well classified, and after a rigorous ex-
amination, lasting for about four' 'hours,
all went away satisfied- that the school
was in good, healthy, working order.
It wouldbe entirely out of place to par-
ticularize any one class more than an-
other, as all seemed well posted on the
several subjects on which they were
examined. The order during the whole
examination was whatmight be pro-
nounced first class. At the close of the

[FROM THE NEW EP.A.j
DecAereate-A few days tge a young
man named Wm. Cook, who has been
resident of Clinton for some time, took
his departure for Uucle Sam's domains,
" forgetting" to let a large number of,
anxious creditors know' the place where
he was going to. He had run in debt
among our business men to the sum of
nearly $300, but as he made no effort
whatever :to settle the same, they began.
to press -him, and he ne doubt being de-
termined not to pay left as stated. On
the eve of his departure, he tried to ob-
tain a team from a hvery-stable keeper,
but it was refused unless paid for in ad-
vance.. He went away, and returned
shortly with a written order, puiporting
to come from one of elle builders, asking
the livery -man to give him (Cook) the
team, to drive some men from Wingham,
and on the strength of this the team was
given. Cook drove himself audwife to
Lucan, leaving the team there, tele-
graphing the earner where they were,
and then took the train. Of course
nothing has since been heard of his
whereabouts.
