k MISTAKE., SURELY.—The Mitchell
Advocate of last week says: A dis-
reputable female character from Sea -
forth was in town Tuesday night, and
pulled a revolver from her pocket to
shoot at one of two young men who
were in her company. The weapon
went off sooner than she intended, and
the ball lodged. in the pahn of her own
hand." Our good contemporary must
be mistaken, surely. It must mean
Some other town, Cliuton or Winghara,
for instance, as we don't keep any
shooting females in Seaforth.
SOMETHING WORTH • BLoWING ABOUT.—
Mr. Peter Hawthorne of the town line
Hullett, presented us with three stalks
of western corn which each measure
ten feet seven Mallenin leright. Mr.
Hawthorne has half an acre of corn of
which the stalks mentioned are a fair
sample. It is grown on pea land, well
manared, and was not sown uotil the
last week in May. This is a terrible
growth for three months. Mr. Haw-
thorne intends keeping this patch for
seed, and many of the ears now look as
if they would mature in time before the
frost takes them.
ACCIDENT.—On Sunday evening last
as Mr. and Mrs. John Henderson,
accompanied by a gentleman friend
were returning from church, Mr. Hen-
/ derson met with what might have boon
serions accident. They were waking
along the aide walk on the west side of
North Main street, when one of them
happening to step -upon a loose plank in
the walk it suddenly fiew up in front of
Mr. Henderson causing him to trip over
it and fall heavily to the ground. The
shock was such as to cause him con-
siderable pain and, for some days he
was quite indisposed, but we are glad to
hear he is recovering. This walk is in
a somewhat dilapidated condition and.
the authorities should look after it else
a more serious mishap may occur.
THE LINE STOCK ASSOGIATIOE.—At a
well attended meeting of the officers and:
directors of the Huron Live Stock Aa-
eociation, held at lIcLezen's Hotel,
Clinton, on Tuesday last, it was de-
cided to hcdd the annual- sale in that
town on, Wednesda,y, October 18. En-
tries for the catalogue will be received
until the 25th inst., but it is particular-
ly desirable that parties having stock to
enter for the sale should hand. in their
entries and pedigrees to the secretary at
onoe. Already a large number of the
best animals in the country have been
entered, and appearences now seem to
indicate that the next sale will be de=
cidedlythe best and largest that has
yet been held tender the auspices of the
association. Total

half way, then he silently and thought-
fully resumed his place amongst the
spectators of the game for the remainder
of the innings'. Mr. Hyman who, on
account of large score made in former
matches, much was expected of him
took his place to defend the wick-
ets. His manner betokened one who
considered himself fully able to -do
justice to his reputation, and with a
graceful turn of the wrist he elipped a
ball of Bairdls for one, but alas, bowlers
are no respectors of persons, a neatly
twieted balt of Cameron at the other
end sent his balls flying in the air, then
he with chagrin added another to the
number of oulookers. These two inoi-
dents of the garne led the London men
to hold a higher estimate of Seaforth
cricket, the batting for the remainder of
the inningswas chaaacterized by caution
approaching to timidity, they had good
reason. The bowling could hardly be
excelled, the fielding admirable, only
three blunderoccurred during the
game, an overthrow and two easy
catches missed by some of the younger
players of the Seaforth club. This was
more than redeemed by a most difficult
catch made by Baird, -which brought
Mr. Owen's Well earned score of nine td
a close. Mr. Cameron was occasionally
relieved in bowling by Mr. Hyndman.
This young gentleman adds great
strength to the team. For many years
he has played with Seaforth in all im-
portant matches; an excellent bowler,
and a fielder without a fault. London
retired with a score of 47 in an innings
of several hours duration, fighting with
the bitterness of inevitable defeat star-
ing them in the face. Messrs. D.
Charlesworth and Girdlestone were the
first to uphold the honors of their club,
but much to the surprise of Mr. Charles-
worth, and to the still greater surprise
of those acquainted with the strong
batting powers of that gentleman, the
first ball of Gillean's sent his stumps
scattering, when with a cheer from the
London ;layers he marched out of the
ring. The sound of triumph had hardly
died in the air before the Londoners
had other occupation to test the strength
of their lungs. Threes and twos of
Hyladman's, and a magnificent drive by
Girdlestone for six kept them well em-
ployed leather hunting. Cameron's
faultless score of 36 With not a chance
given to even an all England. eleven;
Baird's modest seven and Joslin'a brit.
limit eleven soon brought the score up
to 103, at which number the three last
men retired with goose eggs. The match
had now the appearance of a defeat for
London in one innings, as will be seen
by the appended score. Messrs. Owens
and Harris saved London -from the
ignominy by leaving Seaforth to get
fifteen runs to win in their second in-
nings. Mr. David Charlesworth well
retrieved his laurels in assisting to per-
form the feat, he with the aid af Mr.
Cameron sueceeded in doing so without
the loss of a wicket. The following is

CRIGKET—SEA.FORTH VS. LONDON.—A
cricket raatch between the cricketers of
the city of London and those of Seaforth
took place on the grounds of the former
on Saturday last. It turned out to be
one of the meat brilliantly contested
games of the season. Fine weather,
good grounds and gentlemanly oppon-
ents conttibuted to the enjoyment of the
oocasion. Mr. Bailey, of London, and
Mr. A. Charlesworth, of Egmondville,
acted as umpires, and fulfilled their dif-
ficult duties to the entire satisfaction
of both parties. Seaforth woo the toss
and sent their opponents to the bat.
The London team were exceptionally
strong, every individual who played for
them having a Provincial reputation.
Mr. J. Gilleen, their principal bowler,
was a member of the Canadian team
sent to England to uphold the honor of
Canada. Although their games there
were not as successful as we could wish,
Mr. Gillean's bowling, however, was a
redeeming feature, against him the
fiuest batters were unable to make a
large score. Messrs. McIntosh and
Harris were the first selected to bat for
London against the bowliog of Cameron
and Baird. As they were playing against
a country team they commenced with
unusual confidence, but as the sequel
showa that confidence was of short
duration. After a fine drive for two,
by McIntosh., he attern.pted to steal one
with a slaort hit, the sharp fielding of
Seaforth proved too much his stumps

COM.
THE SEAFORTH HIC•11 SCHOOL. — All
those of our readers who are interested
in the Seaforth High School will regret
to learn that Mr. Charles Clarkson,
who has oceupied the position of Head
Master since the establishment of the
school, has resigned his poeitign, and
his resignation has been accepted by the
trustees. Mr. Clarkson has been offer-
ed and. has accepted the Principalship of
the Provincial Model School at Toronto.
While we are pleased that his superior
abilities as a teacher are properly ap-
preciated by those best qualified to
judge, we deeply regret his removal
from Seaforth and his loss to our High
School. He will be missed, both as a
citizen and. a teacher. Under his man-
agement our High School has prospered,
and won for itself -a reputation which
might be envied by much older institu-
tions. There are several applicants for
Mr. Cl rkson's position, but We believe
that-ai appointment has not yet been
made, and we are glad to learn that the
trnste s have determined that the
stand' g and reputation of the school
shall rot suffer by the contemplated
changes if possible. It will also be seen
by reference elsewhere that Mr. Cos-
grove, the efficient second aitsistant, has
also r signed his position, so that two
new t achers will be required for the
school.

Not satisfied yet. Onless he ake a square

At the bottorn of this were ome hiero-
glyphics evidently intendedtor a signa-
ture. The object of this n te was, no
doubt to intimidate Mr. Govenlocknbut
he has not the least idea as to what or
whom it refers, as there is ilio one that
he knows of with whom he should re-
quire to make a settlement or with
whom he has had business troubles, and
he has no idea Who the incendiaries can
be. The ouSrage is one of tle most dar-
ing atnd dastardly that has been com-
mitted in this section for a long time,
and if the cowardly perpetr tors should
ti
be discovered no punishmen can be tooa
severe for them. Mr. Gove lock is de-
termined to leave no stone nturned. to
get at the bottom of the ma ter, and we
hope he may be successfu . His loss
by this latter fire will be f ly as great
as by the former, and he h d no insur-
ance. .

ENTEUTAINMENT.—The Choral enter-
tainment given in connection with and
in aid of the Bible Christian organ fund.
last Friday evening proved a success.
The attendance Was large, the receipts
satisfactory, and. the programme, which
was a lengthy and interesting one, was
well carried out. We believe it is the
intention of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Whit-
lock, and committee to arrange for a
series of these entertainments, and itt
the event of their doing so, judging from
the satisfaction the first has given, we
have little hesitancy in predicting for
them good success and appreciative audi-
ences.

couple of weeks ago in stating that Mr.
Armitage, of Seaforth, had rented Mr.
T. J. Wilson's grain storehouse; and
engaged Mr. W. C. Charters, of this

be desired. All the leading athletes

mendation was adopted. The Rev. H.

ness.
3. The right of elders of one congrega-
tion to interefere in the affairs of
another, when both congregations are
united under one minister.
4. The proper mode of electing, ex-
amining and ordel4ing elders.
The practice -af the church in these
matters was fully discussed and explain-
ed. Mr. John Jackson, of Manchester,
claimed theit Manchester session. had
lately ordained four elders illegally, and
appealed against their action. Aften
hearing the explanation of the session,
it was decided to clismiise the appeal,
and enjoin all parties to seek the things
which make for peace. It was agreed
to hold the next regular meeting in Clint
ton, on the second Tuesday of Novem-
ber.
