.Notwithatanding anything that may
be said to the contrary, DAVIDSON &
MORRISON are selling goods cheaper
than they have ever been sold in Sea -
forth. The crowds which daily attend
this sale proves the assertion. If the
stock had j been purchased in the re-
gulanway they could not do so, but the
fact that It has been purchased at a
very low ,rate in the dollar, enables
them to give the public the bargains they

FORESTRY.—The High Court of the
Canadian Order of Foresters met in
session last week in Toronto. The
gathering was one of the largest and
best annual meetings ever held in Can-
ada, and we are glad to learn that this
excellent order is flourishing, and its
membership rapidly increasing. The
jurisdiction of - the order covers 75
courts with a membership of about two
thousand. in Canada alone, and the en-
dowment fund on hand has accumulat-
ed to over 83000.,, The session lasted
or four days, and the proceedins°s,•were
most harmonious, and a great deal of
busiuess calculated to advance the in-
terests of the order transacted. Mr.
R.N. Brett represented Seaforth, Messrs.
Robb and Shepherd, Clinton; and. D.
Stewart, Bluevale, aud besides this the
following towns in the county were
represented : Goderich, Exeter, Brus-
sels, Wingliam, Belgrave and other
places. We are glad to learn that the
lodge in this town is doing well, and is
increasing in membership as rapidly as
can be done with safety.
RETuItNED.—Mr. Dalgetty, of
McKillop, returned from Dakota last
Monday. He had been gone about
three weeks. He was much pleased
with the country and took up 320 acres
in. the New Buffalo settlement. He
does not intend leaving McKillop, how-
ever, for a while at any rate. He
brought home with him a sample of
sienna wheat grown on the farm of Mr.
Wm. Ray, near Fargo. The stalks are
about three feet in length and very
strong -and healthy looking, and Mr.
Dalgetty assures us that the grain is
glowing as thick as it cen stand. The
heads, however, are short, and the
wheat does not appear to be of such a
good quality, nor would it yield as
natrich as that grown here. Mr. Ray has
a three hundred acre field of wheat the
same as the sample referred to. Upon
the whole, Mr. Dalgetty thinks very
highly of the country, and he says that
in. many places the older settlers are
,getting up good buildings and are
making their surrouudings look very
comfortable.
Oarrueee.—Another pioneer, in the
person of Mrs. Mary McClure, widow of
?he late J'oleta McClure, Sr., of McKil-
lop, died at the residence of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Graham, on Tuesday morning
last. Mrs. McClure was a native of
County faonegal, Ireland, and came to
this country with her husband over 50
yeaas ago. They first settlad in the
county of Grenaille, where they resided
for several years. Thirty-four years
ago they removed to McKillop and set-
tled on the 4th concession, and here
beth Mr. and Mrs. McClure spent the
remainder of their lives. When they
came here the whole country was one
vast wilderness, and they were both
spEered to see it transformed into one
cf the most beautiful and fertile see-
tiens in the Province, and their own
