•
RETURNED.—Mr. Daniel Ross, son of
Mr. D. Ross, of this town, returned
home from Kansas on a visit to his
friends on Saturday morning last, after
an absence of over four years, giving
them a pleasant surprise, as they knew
nothing of his coming. Mr. Ross had
the misfortune to get his leg broken last
fall and not being able to work he
gnlarly from the hydrants, and the dost
is well kept down.—Mr. Peter Daly has
retired from the butchering business,
and is now engaged with Mr: D. D.
Wilson.—We are glad to learn that Mr.
Alonzo Leech is again cheesemaker in
the Seaforth factory. Mr. Leech is one
of the best cheesemakers in. Ontario,
and the universal satisfaction which he
gave the patrons last year will be a great
aid to the factory this season.—Mr.
Peter MdDonald and Miss McDonald,
of Grey, and Mr. Robb, of Morris, left
here on Thursday for Scotland. They
go by way of Quebec to Glasgow. They
expect to be gone until fall. We wish
them a pleasant visit.—The many
friends of MI. Lancelot Watson, late of
Elora, and brother of Mr. W. N. Wat-
son, of thio town, will regret to learn of
the deep affliction which has fallen
upon him. ,,On the 16th inst., his eldest
daughter, a lady 21 years of age, died,
and on the 25th inst. she was followed
by the !eldest ,son, a promising young
man of 24 years. And what makes the
matter even more distressing is the fact
that Mr: Watson was at the time ab-
sent in the, Old Country, and: -the hill
force of the blow fell upon Mrs. Watson
who was nearly prostrated thereby.
They will have the sincerest sympathy
of all in their sad and severe trial.—
Mr. W. 0. Edwards, who has been care-
taker at the Presbyterian church, ha:
resigned his position, and intends t•
remove to Monroe county, near Roches
ter, about the 1st of June.—We notic.
by a recent issue of the Manitoba Offi
cial Gazette, that Mr. James R. Ben
son, barrister, of this town, has bee
appointed a commissioner for takin
affidavits for use in Manitoba Courts.

A GooD SALE.—Messrs. Scott Broth- was not a little startled to see it frill
ern, of thistown, disposed of a splendid
piano to a professional gentleman in
this town on Wednesday. Two or
three Toronto dealers' had spent a day
with this gentleman before the Messrs.
Scott learned of their intent, but so
soon asthey did, they did not permit
the grass to grow under their feet until
they were after him, and, placing their
terms and the merits of their instru-
ment before him, soon convinced
.him that it was very greatly to his ad-
vantage to buy from the home firm,and
the purchase was made ' accordingly.
There are not many, if any, who can
.undersell our Seaforth dealers, and the
merits of their wares are such as to
commend them to all. P•

previous announcement, the property of
Mr. David McNaught was sold on which are stored a large number of

ed by Mr. Geo. A. Houghton for $500,
making $2,000 for the whole property,
or $500 less than Mr. McNaught had
previously sold it to Mr. Moore for.
Mr. Moore, however, was unable to
meet his engagements and had to give
up the property, which accounts for its
sale by auction. Messrs. Brigham and
Houghton have each got a good bargain.
IRON PUMPS. — The era of wooden
pumps is about at an end.. This spring
a great many people, especially farmers,
are very prudently removing their
wooden pumps from their wells and are
replacing' them with iron ones, which,
although probably not any more dur-
able or ,easily worked, are certainly
very mqc Ii more healthy, as they do
Rot accumulate the insects and inl ori -
*us matter in a well which the old
style wooden pumps do. Mr. William
Robertson, of Oakville, is extensively
engaged in the manufacture of iron
pumps, and the firm here have within
the last year disposed of a large num-
ber in this neighborhood. As they are
an article that is in general use and for
which there will ultimately be an al-
most unlimited demand. We would
like very much if we could prevail upon
Mr. Robertso. i to remove his factory
from Oakville to Seaforth. He has al-
ready a large interest here, and we are
care that this is so much better a loca-
tion for his business than where he now
is, that he would very soon do much
more than make rip the cost of re-
moval. An enterprise of this kind
would be a very great benefit to Sea -
forth.
LOCAL BRIEFS.—The Lacrosse Club
intend celebrating the Queen's Birth-
day in right good style. Therewill be
a lacrosse match between the Exeter
and Seaforth clubs, and athletic sports
and other amusements will also be fur-
nished, and liberal prizes offered for
competition.—Mr. John Henderson, of
McKillop, has purchased- the residence
on North Main street recently owned
and occupied by • Mr. Lyall.—Most of
the cheese factories in this neighbor-
hood comriienced work on Monday last.
There is not much grass yet, and milk
deliveries will likely be small until
there is better growth. —The residence
and grounds connected therewith, on
North Main. street, belonging to Mr. S.
F. Johnson, can, we understand, be
bought for $2;000. It is a remarkably
` cheap property at this figure. There
are five or six acres of land, and there is
no nicer building site in town.—Mr.
James Stewart, for many years assistant
at the Commercial Hotel, was enter-
tained by his friends at a complimentary
supper on last Friday evening, and was
presented with an address and a mas-
sive gold ring. Ile leaves Seaforth to
assume the proprietorship of one of the
leading hotels iu Listowel, and we can
assure the people of that town that
they will fiu3 hien an affable and com-
petent landlord. ---The weather still con-
tinues cold and dry, and the farmers
are almost discouraged. Unless we
have some moisture soon the fall wheat
and hay will be very poor crops.—We
understand that it is the intention of
the Rev. Mr. McDonald to leave for the
Old. Country in about two weeks. It
has not yet been decided who will sup-
ply his pulpit during his absense.—The
liquor license question will likely be
decided by the Town Council` at their
meeting on Monday evening next.—
Main street is now being watered re-
prising young men, and have built n
goad business here, which is not
profitable to themselves, but is like
a beilefit to the town.
OUR MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.—Thi
nual meeting'of the members o:
Seaforth Mechanics' Institute was
in the Institute rooms on Tuesday
ing last. There was a fair attenc
of members. The Librarian's R
