THE VOTE IN SEAPORTH.—AS Will be seen by the returns belpw, Seaforth has given a majority for the Scott Act of 30 -votes. There were 324 votes polled, which is a very fall vote for this town. At the raayeraity eleetion. in 1883, which was one of the most keenly contested elections for years, there were only 334 votes polled, being but ten more than was polled yesterday for the Scott Act. The vote was a thoroughly spontaneous one=, the people, as a rule, corning for- ward voluntarily and casting their bal- lots. The town was very quiet all day, and a person would noteknew from appearances that such an important vote was being taken In the evening, however, there was quite tt, crowd and considerable excitement on the streets. The following is a statement of the voteg polled: For the A.gainst the I Act.

This was hardly expected after the StICCOSS with which the Seaforth team met last sea- son. The ground was in rather poor condition and daring the first half of the game play was not very lively. However, Brussels scored a goal ande just after half time another and Sea - forth also secured one. This raised their spirits and the game was very exciting to the close, the Seaforth team doing their utmost to raise their score, making SOIli0 fine, though unavailing rushes 011 goal, Brussels trying to kill time, thinking that the safest way to keep the score frora changing. There is no question but the forward play of the home team was far superior to that of Bruasels, although- Wilson, of that team played an excellent game. In jasticse to the Seaforth team it must be isaid that two of the regular players were unavoidably absent and their places had to be supplied at the last moment. Brussels has good material ' and 'after some practice will no doubt make a first class football team. , ACCIDENT.—Conaiderable excitement was occasioned an Thursday forenoon , by an accident -which took place on Goderich street, immediately opposite the residence of Mr. L. Murphy. It seems that some of the Irish emigrants, as they are called, were having a genu- ine old-style wedding. After beeaktast the happy party left a house in the vicinity cf the High School, and started for a drive to Dablin. There were sev- eral buggies in the procession, and when turning the corner at Mr. Murphy's a couple at young men, who had a horse and buggy belonging to Forbes' livery, • attempted to pass the vehicle which Was before them. They were all driving at a pretty rapid rate,and h.aving more anti - Scott on board than was good for their vision, the young men drove to() far off the road and their buggy over -turned into the ditch, taking the horse with it, and throwing the occ.upents out upon the ground, BO that when first seen the buggy, here and men were lying in a promiecuous heti p. A crowd soon gather edand attempted to put things to rights, LUL it was found that the horse was so seriously iniared as to be anable_to rise, and was suffering the most exceutiating legally. In fact it was the opinioa of the bystanders that it could only liye a, few minutes, and some even advocated I he killing of it ea as to put it out of ANNEXATION.—We understand that there is a very strong feeling among t e people of Egraondville for annexation o Seaforth. They feel that there a e many advantages which they would enjoy if their village were united o Seaforth, of which they are now e- prived, and owing to the situation s wdll as the identity of interests betwelm th4 two places, they feel that thy sheuld be one Municipality. The pr s- ent time, also, is particularly opportujlie so far as Egmondville is concerned, for the change. A new public school builkl- ing is urgently required in Egraondvil e, and must soon be erected. If the villa e remains as at present, part of the co • try section, the existing site is the b et and most central place for the n w building, but in the event of 1613 bet g united to Seaforth, the new buildi g, which would form a ward school, sho d. be more centrally located. - While - nexation might be mutually 'advent - goons to Egmondville and Seaforth, t e greater advantages would undoubted y memo to the forraer, and hence tie people of the village, if they desire tljie change, should take the initiative. -Lt them mature a scheme and lay it before the Seaforth7 Council, and we lave tina doubt but it will receive due ;consid- eration, and we are sure any propoei- tion from Egraondville would be con e- ously treated by the people of this tow whether they be favorable to annexati n or not. CHURCH AND SOCIAL AMENITIES.--r-M EDITOR,—SIR,—I was much interest d in reading the letter of your correspo dent in your last issue in reference the leek of courtesy shown him wh attendinag the Presbyterian church this town. While I cannot exactly agr with all your correspondent says in letter, I am still of the opinion th such correspondence may be produoti of great good. Certainly no church Seaforth can be Charged with showi too much attention to strangers. T people of Seafoethhave never been d tinguished for their hospitality, althou they may-possess...many other qtialit' that are highly eoranaendable. A re deuce of six years- here has corivinc rne that it takes a long tiz4 fox stranger, to becorde acquaintedT people seern to regard every new.comer with suspicion. This state of feeli does not prevail in one church m than in another.

Tbe reverend gentleman had. not arrived, i.nd as everything had a look of newness and comfort, I looked about. In front, placed upon a Platform neatly car- peted, stood a neat reading desk cover- ed with scarlet cloth, neatly. fringed, 'and just behin ' it stood three scarlet covered. arm c airs, which would do credit to any cit church. I longed to leave my seat aid assume one of them. The isles were covered with matting, and a beautiful six -armed chandelier hung suspended from the ceiling, and with side lampbrilliantly lighted the church. I learned that the improve- ments were rec ntly made by Sotne of i the ladies of th congregation, and they deserve credit f r the good teeth dis- played, and that the funds were obtain- ed by some mode of getting up a quilt. I was delighted with the sermon; it Was of a higl order, searching and pointed, and it timed to be listened to with rapt atte4ition by the cOngrega- tion, amongst whom I perceived a student of theol gy. The question was put very solem ly to the congregation : "to what feni y did they belong—to the family of G- d, or the family of the sou of perdition " The ininiete • stated that children d drig in infancy ere not free from original sin, but that Christ by his death had absolved the D. from it, and that th meeting of di severed friends at last w uld be most glorious.— , A TRAVELLER.

SAFETY OP THE PRESBYTERIAN MISSIi N STA- TION IN THE BELEAGUERED ISLIND. Guelph, Oct. 27.—The follow ng has been received at the Mercury o ce By Telegraph from Formos j .15r. Wardrepe, Guelph., C nada: All Befit, but send no other miss onary. "Mackay, Tam ui." This message will bring reli f and afford occasion floe thanksgiving t many who have been , anxiously looki ig for intelligence from our missiona ies in Formosa, and who have been co mend- ing them to Godi in prayer.

The work they have done has been nearly all destroyed by recent storms, and the harbor is not any more acces ible now than it was when they comr4ienced operations. • The channel close up as fast as it i opened, and after every blow the sand has to be shovelled out before even a fishing boat can got out or in. It is a pity, that a sufficient force of workmen was not pat on SQL as to have the improvements sufficiently advanced befoee the fall gales come on, that the channel cotald be kept open to at least permit, fishing boats, to enter the harbor. As it, is the money which has been eipended on it 1 might as well have been thrown away. CHURCH MATTERS.—Being in -Bayfield on the 26th inst., and hearing that the Rev.
