time for to -day's issue, but will appear
next week.
FIREMENS' ATTENTIoN. —As next Mon-
day evening is the regular business- meet-
ing of the Seaforth Fire Brigade, and as
business of great importance will be trans-
acted on that evening, every member is
particularly desired to be present.
MR. MARPLES LECTURES. —The course
of lectures given by Rev. Mr. Marples,
of Toronto, on Monday and Tuesday
evenings were fairley attended. Mr.
Marples is an intellectual reasoner a
fluent speaker and. eminently qualified
for a debater.

Trunk Railway has kindly Offered to
carry visitors and exhibitors from any of
the intermediate stations between Strat-
ford and Goderich included, for one fare

and 10th instants.
- CHANGE OF FTR.M. —A reference to our
advertising local will show that Mr. Jas,
I. Carter nas disposed of his saw mill to
S. Roweabury & Co., and /IOW offers the
whole of his splendid stock of, assorted
lumber at greatly reduced prices. This
will be a good chance for 'builders and
farmers, and all others wanting bargains
in the best article of the kind in the
market.
MR. MASON'S SALE. —Mr. Mason re-
quests us to state that the salelof "Glen-
elg" at Philadelphia, mentioned last
week, Was effected, n otwi th stan di ng the
rumors to the contrary. The reason why
Mr. Mason disposed of the stallion at the
low price mentioned is because he was an
inferior animal. 'Mr. Mason has entered
an action against the party from whom
he purchased "Glenelg," for misrepre-
senting the qualities of the animal, and
if he does not recover damages he will be .
a heavy loser.
CORRECTION.— In the report of the
Tuckersmith council Meeting published
last week, the following paragraph relat-
ing to the rates levied was inaivertently
• omitted : That the following rates be

s iiiemoratieg his birthday ancr at the same
time making it lively for the young folks
about his place, gave a party on Thurs-
day eeening of last week, to which he
invited his boarders and a few outside
ladies and gentlemeo. A splendid sup-
per was laid, and after it had been amply
discussed, the worthy host was taken
completely by surprise by being present-
ed with a handsome meerschaum/ pipe
by Mr. Parsons, on behalf of the board-
ers, accompanied by an appropriate ad-
dress, to which Mr. Foster feelingly re-
plied.
• MRS. GRIFFITH'S CASE. —On Thursday
of last week, Mrs. Griffith was put on
trial before Judge Toms at Goderich.
Crown Attorney Lewis who prosecuted
remarked that the evidence (against
prisoner was purely circumstantial, but
through his witnesses he hoped to prove
that this,evidence Was sufficient to com-
mit her. Mr. B. L. Doyle for the
defence, contended that the indictment
did not charge an /offence against prison-
er, since it specified that Mrs. Griffith
set fire to the house herself being in it,
which was no offence against common
law being equivalent only to an attempt
to commit suicide. The prosecution
being made under Can. 22 of 32 33 Vic..,
the indictment should have charged an
intent to defraud or to injure others.
The objection waanovel, but nevertheless
unassailable, and the suggestion to alter

ursday last that
Prof. Gibson died in New York on the
previous day. The next day brought us
a post card, dated Montreal, Sept. 29th
• stating "Prof. Gibson died. here last
nightoftyphoid fever." We were all
the more startled at the painful tidings
as he passed through' here last July in
Government employ, making botanic ote
servations its the Northwest, as far as to
Duluth. We never slaw him in more -
robust health—full to overflowing of gen-
ial spirit and humor. Surely, "All flesh
is grass. The grass Withereth and the
flower thereof falleth away, but the word
of the Lord endureth forever" Prof.
Gibson was the son o Rev. Hamilton
Gibson, late of Bayfield. He was born
in Galt, and when bu a boy removed
with the family to Bay1ie1d, where he re-
sided. till 3 or 4 years ago. He was a
graduate of Toronto University, where he
distinguished himself ira brilliant course
of successful classical studies, bearing off
many valuable prizes, taking scholarshttis
with both gold and silver medals.as tro-
phies of his indomitable perseveranceand
stroug intellect. He , graduated some
three or four years age, Bret as B.- A.,
then M. A., and coming from the scene
of his studies he brought with` him end-
entials from that -University bearing- the
honored names of the Venerable Dr. Mc-
Coll and other professors that would be a
sufficient passport to any' of the
best literary cireles of our country.
Though formidable on the fieldof lit -
era,ry strife and competition, and thoug
he stood between worthy and stron
young men and literary destination in
the halls of learning, wresting the covet
ed prize from their eager grasp. Yet so
braveand. generous was his spirit and so
respected by all was he that tbe very
young men whom he defeated, were the
first to cheer him as he bore off the
prize l His "Alma Mater" will cherish
his memory and point t� the record of
his success with honest itride. We
were ptoud of him while be lived
as a young man of our county who had
won distinction in high and honorable
1'
conflict and who had never soiled his
honors with actions base or mean. We
revere his meirfory and repeat over his
grave the words that greeted him oft in
colleee halls "ell done!" We would
t
;offer our w warmest sympathies to the
stricken father who in his old age has
had the staff of his right hand thus sud-
,denly and rudely broken, and to the
pbereft sisters who weep over the grave
of an only brother and one so brave, so
'true and generous. Whit seems to give
- he deeper emphasis to their grief is that

,wife nearly two years ago, had resigned

- LECTURE. —On Monday evening, the
2nd inst., Messrs. McCuaig and Mader -
die, of Tuokeriimith, lectured on the
Grange Question in the school house.
Mr. McCuaig spoke briefly on,the moral,
social and financial benefits of the sys-
tem. Mr. McMOrdie spoke very lengthy
on the question. He stated the origin
of the Grange system, the advancement
it has made, not only in the United.
States, but in Canada. He discussed
some of the principal objections raised
against the Grange system. In reference
to one of these, "The Grangers will in-
jure our villages." He said. the object of
the Grangers was not to injure or do
away with the villages, but to do away
with the credit system. fle thought the
Grangers would be the means of building
up the villages. After the lecture was
over a meeting of the lodge Was held
with the view of receiving new members.

ACCIDENT.;—We are sorry to learn that
a son of Mr. Alex. Barron, of McKillop,
met with a serious accident about two
weeks ago. Being up in a tree picking
apples, he fell from near the top to the
ground, breaking his leg and otherwise
injuring himself. •
CArrea POISONING.—James Montgom-
ery, of McKillop, was last week commit-
ted to jail, charged by John Hargan, of
the Tenth Concession of the same town-
ship, with poisoning his cattle. From
the evidence taken before the magistrates
the following particulars are gleaned;
Prisoner for some time past has entertain-
ed an ill feeling against Haagen for hav-
ing overbid him in the purchase of a farmt
upon which Montgomery was working as
a tenant, and from which he Was ejected.
On one occasion he threatened to shoot
Hargan. For some time Montgomery
has been employed with a farmer named
Morrison. On the night of Sept. 23rd,
it is alleged he took some oats from his
employer's barn, mixed it with Paris
green, and sprinkled it in Hargan's pas -
tire field. Five cattle paztoek thereof
one of which died. Traces of the poison
were found on the prisoner's clothing,and
suspicion at once pointed him out as the
guilty party.

ALMOST A FIRE—About 3 o'clock last
Sunday morning signa of fire were dia.
covered in the store at present occupied
by Mr. R. Gordon. The alar,m was
given and an entrance forced into it when
it was found the fire had gained consider-
able headway, as part of the floor and
counter were burned, and the goods in
the shelves burning. By prompt and
vigorous effm ta it was 'boon got under.
Had it once burst out there would have
been a repetition of the catastrophe at
Brussels and Seaforth, as the building is
right in the heart of the business part of
the village, and surrounded on all aides
by frame buildings. How the fire oris
ginated is so far a mystery.

was imported a short time ago by tie
owner, and added to a long list of hone
in Scotland the first prize as a two y r
old at the Provincial Exhibition, Hamil
ton. He is a beautiful brown in col r,
stands 16 hands 3 inches high, is very
compaetly built, and possesses superier
action.' James Norton, Hibbert, Perth
County, shows Glory- of the Dominion, a
dark -bay stallion for agricultural pu -
poses,- six years old, bred •by Englands
erlory. He is magnificently built el.
proportioned, well filled -out and powe -
ful. He also has just arrived from the
Centennial Exhibition, carrying with
him the Canadian silver medal. He was
bred in Hay township, and has won
many prizes at previous Western and
Provincial shows. Matthew Kelly shows

The Hibbert Fall Show.
The fall show of the Hibbert Agricu
tural Society, was held in the village f
Staffa on Tuesday last. In the mor -
ing there was every appearance of tlie
day. being fine, but towards hail pail!'
nine a heavy ramie commenced, which con
tinued almost incessantly during -the re-
mainder of the -day. This put a damper
on things in general, and the work Of
exhibiting and fudging had to be carried
on with very disagreeable results. From'
this cause the show in the aggregate was
scarcely up to the standard of former
years, but in some classes there was a
decided improvement. The ladies' work
especially was very creditable, the fine
display of all sorts of needlework, fancy
and plain speaking volumes for the in-
dustry and good taste of the fait ladies
of Hibbert. We would not trust mitt
selves to enumerate the different articles
of merit, but one thing could not fail tO
attract the attention of the most obtuse a
that was the magnificent display of quilt ,
of every hue, make and variety, spread
out and ornamenting the hall wherever
the observer chanced to look. Two
handsome sofa cushions also attracted
much attention. The improvement
was especially noticeable in the exhibit
of cattle and sheep, and the inside del-
partmeet generally, while the display q
horses and implements was much more
limited. It is greatly to be regretted that
the weather was so unfavorable, as had
it been a fine day the show would have
been the most successful ever held under
the auspices of the society. For other
