art or curiosities of any kind, and who,
would be willing to place them on ex-
hibition, to make out a lisp of their
articles and hand it to Mr. Moore. the
Librarian, as soon as possible. Exhi-
bitions of this kind have been gotten up
in other towns, and have proven very
interesting and successful affairs.

MILLINERY OPENINGS. -Friday and
Saturday next will be feast days for the
ladies of Seaforth and vicinity. There
are few towns in Ontario that can pro.
duce more brilliant displays of millinery
goods than are to he found in our Sea-
totth establishments, and the attrac-
tions of opening days are always looked
for most anxiously by those mainly in-
terested in this sort of thing. As will
be seen by notice s elsewhere, three of
our leading millinery establishments,
lifessrs. Duncan ta Duncan, E. McFaul,
Hoffman Brothers and Thos. Kidd, have
selected Friday and Saturday next as the
days upon which they will formally com-
mence the spring campaigie, and we think
we can safely promise that any who come
to town on these days for the purpose of
viewing the attractions and making
their selections will not go away ,disap.

fotmerly of the Commercial Hotel in
this town, after a residence of about a
year in Emerson, Manitoba, has return-

in oar midst once more. Mrs. David-
son and a portion of the family are now
staying with relatives in Mitchell until
a suitable residence can be procured for
them in this town, and the remainder
of the family, we understand will be

came to Ontario on rather a sorrowful
intoner]. Their youngest child, a bright
little boy, died in Emerson and they
brought the remains to Mitchell for
interment, and as we have already
stated they do not intend to return to
Manitoba. It is stated that Mr. David-
son has done well in Emerson, having
sold his interest in the Carney , Hotel

coming back to Seaforth to enjoy the
fruits of his lucky strike.

TOWN COUNCIL. -At a special meeting
of the town council held on Monday
evening, the Wowing notice _of motion
was given by Mr. James Beattie:
" Whereae the High Court of Chancery
has ruled thate.n order will be granted
restraining the! corporation from drain-
ing into Silver:Creek, I therefore give
notice that I Will, at next or following
meeting, introduce a by-law to close up
the drain leading from Main street
south, into Silver Creek in accordance
with said order." The Mayor, Reeve,
Deputy Reeve and councillor Strong,
were appointed a committee to wait up-
on Mr. VanEgmond and ascertain what
will be satisfactory to him, so is to pre-
vent the injunotion of the High Court
of Justice being carried into effect.
ANOTHER PIONEER GON.-We this
week find it our duty torecord the death
of still another of Huron's' pioneers in
the person of Mrs. Nicholeen, of the 4th
concession of Tuckersmith, which event
took place at her residenoe on Saturday
last, the 24th inst., at the ripe old age
of 84 years and 11dmonths. Mr. Nichol-
son was a native of Kirkcudbrightshire,
Scotland, and with her husband came
to America in the year 1840. They re-
sided' near Albany, New York, for about
a year and a half, where her husband
was killed, and being left alone in a
strange land, with a family of five small
ohildren, she found it necessary to re-
move to Canada. She accordingly set-
tled on a farm near Brantford where
she resided for about three pliers, when
she removed to the Huron Trot, to hew
out a home for herself and family amid
the primeval forests of Huron iu the
spring of 1845, and settled on the farm
where she resided till her death. She
was a member of the Egmendville
Presbyterian church, and was a strong
adherent of the religion she professed.
Although having attained such a, re-
markable age she was able) to move
around the house without lassistanoe
until within a short time of her death.
Her family all survive her. Through
all her life her Bible was her constant
companion and guide. The funeral
took place on Monday last, and the
esteem in which she was -held was
sbOwn by the large concourse of friends.,
and relatives who followed her remains
to their last resting piaoe in the kg- ,
mondville cemetery.
LOCAL BRIEFS. -Mr. D. D. Wilson, of
thie town, has purchased the egg bug-
ness of Messrs. Hamilton du Deans, of
Wingham.-Mr. Robert Wateen, M. P.
for Marquette, Manitoba, spent hit
Easter holidays in town. He was t'
guest of Rev. A. D. McDonald
entertainment given here on .ay,
night last by the Brussels Bane not
largely attended. The evening was
stormy and cold and there had been an
unusual number of entertainments dur-
ing the week. The play, however, was
well rendered and was highly appreci-
atedby those who heard it. -r. Wm.
Winter has purchased the Idwelling
house and lot situated east of Main
street from Mr. James Ritchi0 for the
sum of $700. It is a cheap priverty at
this figure. -Mr. James Ritehie,
who has been an esteemed resident of
this town for many years, intends re-
moving to Bruce Mines shortly; in which
place he has a son and ether relatives
residing. -Mr. John McMillan, M. P.,

returned to Ottawa on Tuesday. He
wishes us to say that the number of
signatares on Mr. Ross' Sabbath observ-
ance petition was 500, and not 5,000 as
stated in out report last week. -The
people of Brusselk and vicinity intend
entertaining Mr. John Leckie at a com-
plimentary Banquet this evening, prior
to his leaving for the Northwest. -Good
Friday was a very quiet day in town.
The stores and other business places
were closed, and the weather was so
stormy, cold and disagreeable that most
people were glad to remain in doors.
The railway was blocked and the mail
trains were all several hours lte. It is
oped, however, that the blockades are
now past for this season. They have
been numerous and vexatious, and we
are sure that no person will long for a
recurrence of them.- The Sabbath
School social in the Canada Methodist
church on Friday evening last Was fairly
attended and the proceedings were most
interesting. As usual, the little folks
acquitted themselves creditably, and
showed the great care and trouble that
had been devoted by their teachers in
instructing them. -The hot sun is hav-
e very marked effect on the snow, and
in many plebes the roads are beeeming
bare, but there are other spots( which
will stand considerably more sun pres-
sure than we have had yet te make
much impression upon them. On the
Main street sleighing is becoming de-
cidedly "tough." -Mr. Robert Winter
shipped a car load of very fine fat cattle
to Toronto the other day. He is now
gathering up a consignment of milch
cows and oxen for Manitoba. -Mr. and
Mrs, R. Hawley, of Detroit, were in town
on Wednesday. They were on their
way to Goderioh, where Mr. Hawley has
a large farm and summer residenceand
remained over here a night as guests
at Sharp's hotel.-Mrn John Latimer
having sold his own residence has re-
moved into the house on John street
formerly occupied by Mr. W. S. Robert-
son. -Mr. Charles Wilson is making
preparations for the erection of a large
bank barn on his farm adjoining the
town. -Mr. Watson, M. P., while here
the otier day took a fancy to and pur-
chased one of Mr: George Whiteley's
mammoth St.Bernard-dogs,and intends
having the animal shipped to his home
in Portage la Prairie. He will astonish
the natives there, as they cannot grow
dogs of his dimensions in the Prairie
Province. -Quite a nuniber of our citi-
zens attended the Reforra Banquet at
Clinton on Thursday evening -The Sea -
forth curlers went to Goderich on
Thursday to play a match with the
curlers of that town.--Seaforth has a
greater number of good stores than any
other town of its size in Ontario. - Mr.
and Mrs. E. M. Sipprell, of Clyde, ar-
rived in ' town on Wednesday. Mr.

The busses tueneds out on wheels on
Thursday, being the first time for four

home couple of weeks ago after a
sojourn of about a year in Manitoba,
has accepted a situation in Dresden,

The East Huron- Ra -Count.
To the Editor of the Huron Epositr:
Sa-In your last issue Robert Arm-
strong, Returning Officiator East Huron,
speaks opt, and beems to convince you
of his mpocence. He does not convince
me. HS misrepresents the interview I
had with him. I told him the EXPOSI-
TOR did not correctly report my, state-
ment, but so far as keeping out of the
way to evade personalservice, it had
been my °pilion and weis then tleat he
(Armstreng) ' had done:! so. Now, Sir,
I take this opportunityof stating that
Robert Armstrong perfcirmed the duties
of Returning Officer in a. grossly unfair,
partizan and illegal manner. The fol-
lowing are a few specific charges out of
the many I make a0inst hid; The
statute distinctly pro idee that the
i
Returning Officer shall etain all ballot
papers and other doounents in his pos-
sesion for a certain CPO. Armstrong,
in defianceof that law aad to avoids re-
count, sent the papers to Toronto before
the eipiration Of that tme. When the
papers were sent away Armstrong knew
that the Judge had ordred a re-count.
He knew as a matter of popular rumor,
and also becapse the Judge's order had
been left at his house With Mrs. Arm-
strong two days previous, and he was at
home a few hours after the order was
left there. Armstrong could not be
found at his home for several days pre-
vious to his sending away the papers.
An enquiry being made there, his fami-
ly either did not know or would not
communicate information as to his
whereabouts. It is My intention to
prosecute him for some ' of his illegal
acts, the more so as he has the brazen
effrontery to state openly he "would
not have sent the paper e to Goderioh
according to the Judge'slorder if he had
been served with a back load of notices."
Yours, etc.,
Thos. E. HAYS.

sold one of hit young heavy draught im-
ported • stallions for thesum of $1,500,
to some gentlemen in the township of

and promises to be one of the best heavy
draught horses in the Province. A
gentleman who is a thoroughly compet-
ent judge and who is well acquainted
aith the horses of the county, recently
retharked after a visit so Mr. Love's
stables, that his stod,k of horses,
taken all round, is superior in quality to
that possessed by any other breeder in

Ccantme.-The council met here on

progress of the school, and the industry
and attention of the teacher which were
loudly applauded. Then music, singing,
readings, dialogues and recitations by
the children was the order, and the
manner in which many of the them were

parents and complimentary to the
teacher. Mrs. Cartwrighthaving kind-
ly lent her organ for the occasion, musie
was tarnished by Mrs. John Allen, Miss
Martha Cartwright and MiseEffie Tyer-
man, and as Miss Dick, is in the habit
of closing her sohool with singing, a

exercise. Mr. Ruddell ani others then
delivered short addresses a1 expressing
their gratification at the p ogress of the
school and the unwearied attention of
the teacher, and wishing that the Scrip-
tures were read in all the public schools
as they always have been in ours.
Votes of thanks were then given, and

this neighborhood was closed by all
singing "God save the Qu em" -Cox.

seventy filled the school bowe, and in
the presence of this vast number .Miss
Dick, with but little assistance, put the
scholars through a searching examina-
tion in all the branches_ usually taught.
The examination was most creditable to
the pupils, and was a proof of the care
and industry of the teacher. A short
recess was then given and the ladies
produced their well-filled baskets, when
tea and the most tempting cakes and
pies were abundantly supplied to all
present. After the debris •was cleared
off, the meeting was organized and Mr.

PUBLIC EXAMINATION.The pupils of
Lumley school were publicly examined
on Thursday,Merch 22nd, before a large
number of visitors from the vicinity,
and the way in whioh they answered
the many knotty questions put to them,
showed that they are making- excellent
progress in their studies. The papila
were examined. by their teacher, Miss
MoEwen, assisted by Misses Forest and
Collie, and Messrs. Leigh, Horton, Rat-
cliffe and Dorranoe, teachers from
neighboring townships. At noon re-
freshments were served by the ladies of
the section, to which justice was done,
if we may judge by the rapid disappear-
ance of the geed things provided. After
all appeared to be satisfied work was
resumed, and the eximination finished
about two o'clock. Mr. Ellerington,
trustee, was then called to fill the chair,
after whieh the ratepayers and teachers
being called on, expressed themselves
highly satisfied with the progress the
pupils have made under the tuition of
Miss MoEwen.-The people of Lumley
are to be congratulated on having se-
cured the services of such an efficient
teacher as Miss McEwen is, and we
hope "that her days may belong in the
land." One feature of the examination
that we mutt mention, was the crayon
sketches on the black -board by two •of
the pupils, and to say that they were
good fails to do justice to the sketches;
they require to be seen to be appreciated.
Proceedings were brought to a close
about. 4 o'clock, when all departed,
well pleased with the examination.

A GOOD SALE. -MR. EDITOR, -SIR
u Tviesday last I had the pleasure of
ttending an auction sale of farm stack
nd implements on the farm of Mr.
m. McQueen, Stanley. The sale was
onduoted by Mr. J. P. Brine, and
f course under his management
nd vigilant eye to business it was
success. Mr. Brine's long experience
n the buainess has made him one of the
est salesmen in the country. There
as a goodly attendance of buyers not-
ithstanding that the day was _quite
old, and the farmers displayed their
enerosity and good circumstances by
idding liberally. The stock sold re-
arkably well. One mare sold for $230,
hich was considered a good price;
ows averaged $42 per head; yearlings,
:Om $20 to $24 per head, and other
tock in proportion. The sale realized
n the neighborhood of $1,200. -AN

MOTION oi THANKS. -At a regular
meeting of Walton Orange Lodge, held
011 Friday evening last, the following re-
solution which speaks for itself was un-
animously adopted: "Moved by Bro.
Andrew Morrison, .seconded by Bro.
David Crawford, that the thanks of
Loyal Orange Lodge, No. 252, Walton,
is justly due . and hereby tendered to
Past Master, Bro. James Fulton, for
his long, faithful and efficient services
as the presiding officer of this lodge,and
that the Secretary be instructed to for-
ward to him a copy of this resolution."
SCHOOL EXAMINATION. -The quarterly
examination of the pupils of the Walton
school, held on Thursday, the 22nd
inst., was a grand success in every par-
ticular. The day being fine a large
number of visitors were -present. The
teach'
er Mr. McKenzie, was assisted by
Messris.Wallis, McKay, Kerr and Black.
The excellent order maintained by the
pupils throughout the whole of the
examination, the promptness and in-
telligence with which questions were
answered -and problems solved and
explained, not only reflects credit on
the pupils themselves, but clearly de-
monstrates that Mr. McKenzie's ability
as an educator and disciplinarian is
duly appreciated by his pupils. At the
close of the examination addresses were
delivered by . the Rev, Messrs. Mc-
Naughton and Reid, and the teachers
present. The speakers expressed them-
selves as highly pleased with the result
of the examination, those residing in
the section stating that the school was
never in a better condition. Mr. Mc-
Kenzie has taught the school success-
fully for three years, and we have no
doubt that under his tuition the pupils
will yet attain to a much higher stand-
ard than they occupy at present.
