A, D. Macdonald, pastor of Knox Church ,here, received a call from the congregation of Sea - forth, offering him a free manse and $1,400 a year—the stipend here being $1,200 and a free manse. Mr. Macdon- ald has a host 9f warm friends here, • who will be sorry that he has decided to leave them. During the years that he has had charge of Knox church he has done his duty nobly, and the con- gregation erected a fine stone place of worship, at a -cost of something like $22,000, a couple of yeas since, which is good evidence of the progress made while uniaar our frieni. 's charge. Mr. Macdonald was a good citizen, an ac- tive member of the Higla School Board, and. was ready always to lend a help- ing hand to any good work. His rela- tions with clergymen of other denomi- nations was of the naqst cordial char- acter, all of whom join l With the people generally in wishing him .a, continuance • of health and strengtha to enable him to continue his careea of usefulness. Our loss is certainly Seaforth's gain." —Messrs. Duncan McBeath, James Hastie, and David. Dorrence, of this town, and David Dorrence Jr., of Mc- Killop, intend leaving liere for British Columbia, one week from next Mon- day. They go by Caicago and San Francisco.

The cheese company here have had to pay $15 extra on some utensils for their 'factory which they aad o procure from the United, States, : on account of the National Policy. , ., PERSONAL.—Our esteemed friend and school mate, Mr. George Bawd, has been spending a few, pleasant days at the old homestead, with his mother, sisters and. brothers, anq visiting his :many friends hete, anconapanied by his lady, who possesses the 'charming ac- complishments suited to make a home cheerful and happy. • Memory soon struts back over a few short years and pictures in our vision a quiet,inoffensive, diligent youth, with sturdy tread, marching to andfrom the village school: Since then he has filled some very im- portant positions, during the campaign of 1877 and 1878, reporting for the Globe, the great meetings a,nd pic-nics held by the Government officials and others. The practice he has had should warrant him success in his present undertaking as partner editor of the Sarnia Observer. —Com. ENTERTAINMENT. -- A very • agreeable a,nd pleasant evening was spent last Friday night by a goodly number of the people - of Hulled in the Presbyterian Church there, on the occasion of Pro- fessor Salter giving a concert at the close .of a singing school -which he has conducted there during the winter. Notwithstanding the roads were very bad and. the night rainy, h considerable number assembled to enjoy the singing. Professor Salter may indeed be proud of his Hullett class. They evidently have paid good attention to the instruc- tion which he is so qualified to give, and from the manner in which they ac - Tatted themselves, it is evident that he has done his duty faithfully 'in im- parting to them the knowledge requisite to make good singers, Professor Salter was assisted by Miss Wade, of Clinton, who presided. at the organ in an effiai- mit manner, and added not a little to the entertainment of the evening. The music was interspersed by an address by the Pastor, Rev. John SaaLocliead, on temperance, and readings. Upon the whole,. it was a very enjoyable oc- casion and one which will be long re- membered by those who were fortunate enough to be present. The proceeds, _amounting to $13, are to be expended. in replenishing the Sabbath School Library. . • • • Lumley. ' GOOD STOCK.—Mr. John Glen, of this place, sold four head of fat cattle, for the handsome sum of $400, to he ship- ped. to England some time in May.

The fall wheat is looking very well at present, and if it continues so we may expect good crops this year. Wild ducks are numerous on the Aux Sauble River. McKillop..
