ISTRIOT MATTERS.
TO HE PUBLIC. --Having assumed the
business lately conducted by Davidson &
Morrison, it is myintention to clear out
the whole of the bankrupt stock of Hill
Brothers, and in order to do so as soon as
possible, I have made a further reduc-
tion. I have still on hand a large stock
n all departments. Dress Goods from
rom 5 cents per yard and up, worth
wice what we are asking for them,
Gents furnishings are away below whole-
sale prices. Readymade clothing at about
half price. Balance of my stock of Mil-
• nery will sell at almost any price in
order to run it off. In, the grocery de-
partment I have alarge stock of Teas. I
am selling a tea for 50 cents, worth 65 to
70; and, a Tea for 40 cents worth 55 to 60,
and all other groceries equally low. Fill

PRESBYTERY OF HURON.—At a special
meeting of the Presbytery on Tuesday
last a call vsas, sustained from Knox
Church, Goderich, Leeburn and Union
Church, in favor of Rev. John A. Turn-
bull, B. A., to be colleague and succes-
sor to Dr. 1Jre, salary $800. Mr. Turn-
bull accepted the call, and his ordina-
tion and induction were arranged for
September 13th, at 2, p. m., in Knox
Church, Goderich, Dr. Ure to preside,
Mr. MeDon.ald to preach, Mr. 'Lochead
to address the minister, and Mr. Mus-
grave the people.
A HPAVY PENALTY. The town Clerk
of Seaforth has laid himself liable to
have iniposed upon him the somewhat
severe penalty of $200, for neglecting to
have his Voters' Lists ready in the
time specified by statute. We do not
know 'hether the fault lies with the
Clerk or with the printer, but if with
the latter, as we suspect is the case,
we hope those members of the Council
who voted to give the town printing
into incompetent hands will now have
the decency to put their hands into
their own pockets and pay the fine for
the Clerle, as we understand he is to be
proceeded against.

OBITUARY.—Many of OUT readers will
regret to learn of the death of Mrs. P.
J. Moran, wife of a once well-known
* citizen of our town, which sad event
took place at the residence of her hue -
band in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday,
the 26th ult. Although absent from our
town for the last 16 years, Mr. Moran
basstill a number of very warm friends, a
who will; we are sure, be sorry to hear q
of his sad affliction. 'The deceased lady A
was highly spoken of by the Southern v
press, her many good qualities having c
brought .within her circle hosts of g
friends. She leaves a husband and
three children to mourn her loss. We
are sure that all will jOill with us in

on the lipegoL river and had Sonae

the party, weighed five and a quarter

while they were there and returned

food, inuah less rare in these parts than
Nipegon speckled trout.
THE CIVIC HOLIDAY.—The Civic Holi-
day passed over about the same as all
other siMilar days have done in the
past. Every person who could left
town and those who could not remained
at home. These latter, however, were
considerably in the minority. Quite a
number took advantage of the
cheap trip to Toronto and
went to that city to do business; a
large number went to Brantford to see
the Lacrosse match and the Oddfellows'
celebration, and not a few went to Bay-
field and other health inspirinabpoints,
and no doubt a,ll, or nearly all, enjoyed
the day and returned to business yes-
terday better and stronger both physi-
cally aud mentally. The excursion
train from Brantford got here " about
three o'clock on Thursday morning, and
the crowd which emerged from it on its
arrival at this station looked as if they
had had about enough of it, and that a
few home' sleep would do them good.
There were 224 tickets sold at this
station for Brantford and 48 for Toron-
to, besides about 30 to other points.
COUNCIL DOINGS.—At the meeting of
Council, held on Monday evening last,
a resolution was passed to engage Mr.
Richard Clark, the present waterworks
engineer, at a salary of $12 per month
and free house, fire wood and light,
and permitting him to do other work
on his own account during the day
when he was not required at the
waterworks. This offer was accepted

—Orin Vero CAN GIVE THE NAMES IF
-Tun CHEESE FACTORIES— Under the
above heading a person signing him-
self "Patron," in lag week's EXPOSITOR,
is quite personal as regards Winthrop
factory. It is a Wonder to me his pro-
duction did not go to the waste basket,
as things less personal have gone there.
We take it as asign that Winthrop
must be considered the best in the
county when it is singled out from all
others as comparison: "Patron" should
have compared prices with those who
sold about the same time as Seaforth.
No doubt but Winthrop would have
got eleven cents if it had sold on the
same day, as at Ingersoll the fait be-
fore Seaforth sold, cheese brought
eleven and a quarter cents. It is not
Baying much therefore for Seaforth to
get ten and three quarters. If Win-
throp had peddled off their May cheese
around they might have had more, and
charged two cents more at home than
for those Bold at a distance, which is
protection with a vengeance. As to
the insinuation that the drawers- at
Winthrop are likely to stop, he can keep
cool over it. There is not the least
danger. If he looks at home, some of
their drawers are talking of dropping
patrons and are likely to do it too. As
for pay, some of the Seaforth drawers
only have received what they got -out of
a grocery, and this too, after the boast
last spring in the EXPOSITOR that ' all
would be paid cash. If any one will
say what proportion the drawers have
received we will show Winthrop has a
larger proportion than any. drawefrs in
any faetory around. If the patronof
Seaforth are satisfied with their inaker
and salesmen we are, and we made no
allusion to any factory only our own.
AS to persons saying Winthrop ivould
pay as high as Seaforth nobody ever
said so. Mr. Hill may have but he ,is
only one; and for the last eight years
Winthrop has always been equal or as
often above as below in prices and al-
ways a,sirialler average. Seaforth mity
expect` a better showing this year en
account of having a few of the Winthrclp
patrona. We will see at the end of tile
season and compare reports, if they clo
not be a.shamed te publish it as lea
ear. !Let those who live in glass
ouses not throw , tones.—PATRON WIN-

A GRAND SUCCESS.—Mr. Stephen
Etherington, a litqe west of this village,
purchased from Mr. W. Bisset, of Exe-
ter, a self -binding reaper manufactured
y John Elliott 86 Son, London, which
as proven itself to be a grand success,
and is all that M. Bisset represented
it to be. Mr. Etherington is an exten-
sive farmer and ha a very large crop,

aelf-binder is able 110 keep ahead of his
' ork with compar4.tive ease.

tae right direction, and we wish them
every sriccess in th enterprise.
GOOD WHEAT.—r. Abraham Cavan-
agh, of the 13th concession has har-
vested a field of fall wheat on his farm
this year, which, we believe, as regards
large heads cannot be beat in the
county. ' Out of e. single sheaf were
pulled several heads measuring six and
al half inches in length, while many
others ranged fron six to six and a
crafter inches. he wheat is of the
silver chaff varie yr and this but a
se.mple of a ten acre field, which must
certainly give a good yield.
A Therac.—Whilet engaged in digging
a drain through an !old beaver meadow
a, short time ago Mr. James Wiltse, of
the 14th concessioa, turned up a pair of
enormous antlers, !which, for size, are
seldom met with, and although consid-
erably decayed and'ieroken they are still
a fine specimen of What once inhabited
the unbroken forest. Mr: Wiltse seems
fertunate in finding these relics of past
ages on his farm, aid no doubt ere long
he will be turning up -the carcass of a
huge mastodon or some other specimen
1 an extinct race.
COUNCIL.—At a recent meeting of Mc-
Killop Council it was moved by George
Holland, seconded by Wm. Grieve that
the following names be inserted in the
assessment roll as farmers' Sons: Wm.
Moore and James Moore for north-east
part of lot 14, concession 3; Patrick
Mathews for East half lots 12 and 8,

32 and 33, concession 10, as tenant ;
Jemes Evans and Michael Tully as
tenants on lots 2 and 3 and east half 4, '
concession 5; Peter Tully as tenant on
west two-thirds lot 7, concession 4 and
that this court of revision be now final-
ly closed.—Carried. A number of ac-
counts were passed and debentures is -
seed when the Council adjourned to
meet at Crawford's Hotel, Dublin on

A G -ay Deceiver in Goderich.
Says the Signal: "A few months ago
a French Canadian named Labe, but
who called himself Biehop in English,
arrived in Goderich and immediately
set about to look for a wife. He gave
cut that he was a widower, weary of
his loneliness, and anxious to secare the
companionship of some suitable female
for life—a widow preferred. A couple
of widows, it is said, paid the sad
Frenchman a visit, bat their looks did
not please him, for he appears to have
had an eye upon a certain Mrs. Squire,
a good looking young widow whose
husband died last fall. He copfided
his affection to his landlord, a Mie Dus-
tow, and that Worthy' immediately as-
sumed the role of matchmaker. He
found Mrs. Squire in the garden one
day in June, and spoke to her abont her
lonely condition; how he was failing in
health in her endeavor e to win a liveli-
hood for her four little children ; how
her good name was at the niercy of
everybody while she remained a poor
widow; and wound uplby telling her of
the love-lorn Frenchman, who was
yearning to share her joys and sorrows.
Bishop,as he was called, was represent-
ed as a steady, industrious man, who
would make her a good husband and help
her to fight life's great battle. A good
word was also put in for the stranger by
other friends, • and she consented to
receive Bishop and talk the matter over
with him. The delighted Frenchman
appeared promptly, promised to be a
loving husband. to the widow, and a
good father to her children, and pressed
his suit so ardently that she accepted
him. A number of friends including
Mrs. Globelski, urged Mrs. Squire to al-
low the wedding to come off as soon as
possible, showing that if she permitted
Bishop to visit her or walk out with
him, it would "raise talk," and that if
she was married right elf it would not
be wrong, and would show that her
motives were honorable in receiving his
attentions. The widow agreed to a
speedy marriage, and it Was arranged
that the union should take place at Mr.
Globelski's on the following evening.
The marriage was celebrated at the
residence of Rev. Charles Fletcher,how-
ever; under the following circumstances.
Thinking the affair wae to come off at
the house of the friendly Pole, Mrs.
Squire had arrayed herself in a b anti -
M. bridal dress, worn at her first wed-
ding in her better days. In ord r to
ward off euspicion of a marriage, Mrs.
Squire threw over it a half moUrning

said
overskirt, and put on a black b
and started for Globelski's. Sh
asked to go to Mr. Fletcher's
license, and when there it was pr
to have the wedding take place.
"You can imagine how I felt"
she to our reporter, as she told him the
whole affair from beginning to end. "I
wanted to take off my black thins, but
they joked me out of it, and so 1 was
married as I was. I did think it ould
bring bad luck to be married in back."
The marriage took place on June
25th, and for a few weeks Bishop Was a
model husband. He worked indus-
triously at the dock, was kind to his
wife and step -children, and the well

But ere the honeymoon had waned, a

given to the children, while he ate
greedily the best his wife could set
before him; he swore at the baby when
it cried, and listened to the voice of a
certain Widow Maguire -who proffered
him strong drink. On Monday, August
1st, he received his month's pay, and
lay off on Tuesday, saying he was sick.
Hitherto he had only given $10 for his
five or six weeks' stay in his new home.
He was observed during the day to be
counting out his money, and his partner
in life was expecting a well filled larder
from the now much increased family
treasury. A startling move, however,
was on the programme. 1The husband
washed himself towards evening, care-
fully pared some troublesome corns on
the soles of his feet, greased his boots
and prepared for a tramp. He put on
a pair of black trousers, once worn
by the departed Mr. Squire, over his
now more shabby ones, and wore
beneath his shirt a second one, new and
made by his wife espeoially for him. He
also took with him a magnificent
meerschaum ,pipe, owned by the first
husband, and for which, when new, the
sum of $6 had been /paid. Just before
going, however, he kissed his wife, tell-
ing her that he conld hardly leave her
side, even to Re to his daily work, she
was so good and nice, and shortly after-
wards left, ostensibly= to see Messrs.
Secord 86 Cozzens. He left no money
behind him, and has not been seen
since. The unhappy wife declares she
will not own his name, but will call
herself Mrs. Squire.
The above is 'substautially the story
told by Mrs. Squire, who is evidently
broken down in health and spirit, to a
Signal reporter, who went to her place
on Tuesday in order tie get the particu-
lars from her own lips
Bishop, we are elsewhere informed,
boasted at the docks that he had three
wives. Frem his eolith:let here we are
inclined to believe him. The fellow
should be hunted down and punished
for wife desertion. He hails from Ot-
tawa.
