SEAFORTH rSciadoe.— Seaforth
High School opened on Monday with a
largely . inereased attendance. The

gan, B. A., of Toronto University. Mr. -
Morgan was the winner of three schol-
arships and maneroue college prizes for

ing third on the list. During the past
year he has been engaged in teaching

valuable to the school, and the recom-
mendations he beings are , -sufficient :
guarantee that the language department
will be ably sustained in his hands.

and the Champion, manufactured. by

agent. The agents for Abel's and Hag-

E. Caldwell, concession 7, lot 4, Hullett,
the Champion was tested against the
Bradley in One of the heaviest lodged
and tangled fields of fall wheat in the

Champion was not equal to the occa-
sion, Mr. Caldwell ordering them to
leave the field. After testing the Brad-
ley thoroughly in all kinds of grain, he
is satisfied that it has no equal. --Cosi.

While Mr: Milne was filling the crevice
after the explosive had been put in. He
had one hand badly injured and was
considerably bruised all over,- although
it -is thought no bonesarebroken. He
was badly blinded a -t -the time, and it is
thought he will lose the sight of one eye
.altogether. The punch' he was using
passed up through his hat close by his
forehead; which was a very narrow es-
cape.

cape from death last Saturday. He

managed to get labia of the lines, but
he had no sooner done that than one of
the wheels struck a stump, throwing
him off between the horses. He says
when he fell his head struck a stump,
and that is the last he remembers.
• His left leg Was broken and Hs left arm
out of joint at the elbow, and it is fear-
ecl the arm is shattered. The worst
bruise seems to be across the left kid-
ney, from which he complains of more
pain than from all the rest. Mr. Camp-
bell is subject to the heart disease,
which Makes the case a serious one.
He is -under the skilful treatment of Dr.

ed,greatly of late, and will soon be quite
a credit to themselves and their able -
teacher, Prof. Howarth. They are now

he fell about 14 feet. After being
dismissed she had come back to school
and gone up- unknown to any one to
look for her sister. She was carried to
Dr. Bethune's office, who prorciptly set

NOT CORRECT.—A report having been
circulated to the effect that Mr. Wm.
Braithwaite, of the 6t1 concession of
McKillop, intended leaving the country,
Mr. Braithwaite wishes us to contra-
dict this rumor, as he has no intention
whatever of leaving the country.
ACCIDENT.—On Monday last a young
lad, about nine years of age son of Mr.
.Samuel Dorrance, of McKillop, met
with a -very painful accident. He was
attending school, and upon being lib-
erated in the evening and when on the
way home, he climbed up into a tree,
from which he fell, breaking his arm.
The boy was taken to Seaforth and had
the fractured limb set. Ile is doing
well, but it will be some time before be
will have the use of his arm.
FARM MATTERS.—Fall wheat sowing
has now become general, and quite a
breadth of it has already been sown.
Farmers bave had an early start, and
in all probability there will be a larger
quantity sown this year than in former
years. The Scott variety of fall wheat
will be the kind that will chiefly be
sown. The protracted spell of dry
weather has at length beeu broken and
has been succeeded by ram, which was
needed in the worst possible way.
Owing to its absence; the grass fields
were withering and becoming bare.,
The wells were drying np, and the
ground was hard and. not easily plowed.
It will have the effect of starting the
fall wheat which has been sown into a
growing state, and make the land easy
to plow.—The fields are bare, and na-
ture is again beginning to assume her
autumnal appearance. The leaves are
turning yellow and the fruit is ripening
on the trees. The cold. weather is ap-
proaching and the cold and stormy
blasts of winter are slowly but surely
coming. The atmosphere has for the
past week or so been smoky, and ap-
peared in the nights to be impregnated
with the odor arising frOm the burning
of rotteu wood. This no doubt was
caused by the burniug of swamps,
where fires have been raging for a con-
siderable time back. The weather was
very hot during the latter part of last
week: The air Was close aud sultry,
and working was not a very agreeable
thieg ; but the warm term will likely
be past, and we .will enjoy hereafter
cool and pleasant weather.
•
Bly
WET.—It rained all day on Wednes-
day.
CREDITABLE.—The Orange Hall has
been painted, and now presents a very
tasty appearance.
ENGAGED.—Mr. Matthew Watt has
been engaged to take charge of the bar
in•the d'earal Hotel.
Hor.--Saturday, Sunday and Mon-
day were three of the hottest days ex-
perienced here this season.
SEEDING.—The farmers in this sec-
tion are sowing their fall wheat. The
acreage promises more than average.
Fonruiteeo.—Our townsman., Mr. Jas.
Gosman, is, indeed, It lucky man. He
has lately learned that the sum of
L5,330ester1ing has been left to him.
PERSONAL.—Mr. Thos. Cones arrived,
in town last week, looking as well as
usual. He intends returning to Tor-
onto after spending a few days with Sir
William and Lady Colles.
APPRAISED.—Messrs. McInnes and.
Wm. Way werecalled upon to appraise
the damages sustained by Mr. John
Taylor's cow, injured on the railway
last week. They thought V 50 quite
sufficient to repair the damages to the
" critter "
COMPLETED.—Excepting the chimney,
Mr, R. Howard has completed. his con-
tract pf the brick work in the salt block,
and We venture to say a more creditable
job never was performed. by any me-
chanic. He intends constructing the
chimney as soon as the carpenters get
the roof in shape therefor.
NEW BUILDING.—Mr. R. Howard has
commenced the erection of a fine brick
residence on Drummond street, to be
finished in stucco, with promise of a
building creditable to our village. Mr.
Howard knows exactly how to construct
a house tasty and comfortable, and two
to one that this one will knock the
spots off any one on this side of the
river.
THE Sim—Little 'Maggie McLean is
around._ again; Mr. Thomas Combs'
children are getting better; one of Mr.
Robt. Brownlee's and two of Mr. Wm.
Way's children are down with the scar-
let fever. The disease is of a very mild
form. Mr. Hugh McQuarrie has been
suffering during the past few days with
rheumatic fever. Mr. Neil McTavish
is lying upon his death -bed at the pres-
ent moment (Wednesday evening.)
SUDDEN DEATIL.—MF. J. G. Grosch
died very suddenly on Sunday evening.
He was taken with the cholera morbus
about 10 o'clock on Saturday night; -
every effort was made to revive him but
without avail, and at ten minutes past
7 o'clock on Sunday evening, within 22
honis after he was first taken sick, he
was a corpse: So sudden a death has
cast a gloom over our. village. Mr.
Grosch was one of our most quiet, in-
offensive citizens, and was highly re-
spected.
AGA.IN.—Mr. R. Phillips,
hzor la,
late editor of the Huron. Record, has en-
tered action against the proprietors of
that paper, Messrs. Wrighton & Son,
laying damages at $600. Messrs.
Wright= & Son, in attempting to
crush out au established paper in Blyth,
have jumped into a hornet's nest, and
it will serve them right if they wind up
meeting poverty at their door. Mr.
Philaips is certain of recovering the full
amount of damages which he has sued
for.
Nnw SIDEIVALK.—The Council hn.ve
determined upon constructing, a side-
walk upon the north side of Dinsley
street, from Queen to the English
church—a very sensible move. Mr.
john Young has the contract, and it
could not be in better hands.
Goois RETURN.—From one bushel and
one-quarter of a peck of seed, Mr. Jo-
seph Spindler, of the 13th concession of
Hallett, raised. 35i bushels of Wheat.
AN'OTHER Bice SuNFLOWM1.—Mr. N.
T. Adams, of Hullett, has a sunflower
“tree" in his garden whiCh carries fifty-
,
three flowers. This lays over the Mc-
Killop sunflower mention was made of
last week by a good deal. -
GOING TO' REMOVE. — MT; Anthony
Cockerline, whe has resided on the lith.
concession of this township for many
years, purposes removing to Manitoba
as soon as he can settle up his affairs
here. -He will be much missed.
PROPERTY CHANGE -.—Mr. J. Spindler,
of the 13th concession of Hullett, has
traded farms with Mr. George Gurbit,
of Ashfield. He takes possession of his
new farm isextmonth, and will be much
missed by his friends in this township,
as since residing here, he has proved a
valuable friend and. neighbor.

vailecl all day, was blazing furiously be-
fore it was noticed by any one, Mr.

passing with some cattle, was the first

work, had the fire nearly extinguished
