PRESENTATION.—A very pleasant inci- dent occurred at the office of Ogilvie & Co's mill in this town on Wednesda,y evening last. Mr. William Donald,who. hos occUpied the position of *coed miller in the.mill for over a year, was - made the recipient -from his fellow em- ployees of a very handsome. and aostly silver breakfast cruet and napkin ring. The presentation was made as a mark of eateem on the eve of Mr. Donaldleaving the establishment for MontreOl, where he intends pursuing •ii stadia at McGill Medical College. r. Henry Sinith made the preseaatio on behalf of -his fellow empleyees, and in doing so ex- pressed the very high esteem in which - Mr. Donald •is held - by those . with whom he has been associated in his daily labors since coming to -Seaforth,and expressing •the wish that he may be as succeseful in his new sphere as he had been in that which. he hae just vacitted. Mr. Donald, who had -not previously anticipated any- thing of the kind, was takeri somewhat at a disadvantage, but in 'a few Well chosen remarks he thanked his felloW employees not only for their handeome gift, but also for the universal - kindness they had, one and all, manifested to- wards -him since he hti,d been associated with them._ Mr. Donald left town yes- terday, for -IVIoareal, and. he carries with him' not only . the respect and esteem of those who howed it in this handsome and tangib e manner, but of all who enjoyed his acquaintonce during his stay in Seaforth, and all will be pleased to learn of hip future prosperity in - whatever sphere 'of life he may be called to occupy. . . -A Sneer. ‘CASE, A case which has recently ereathd cons derable interest in this vicinity, has been on the teethe for some thne,and is not yet concluded. The particulars, as have been given us, are as follows : In ugust last; . Mr. John D. Heffernan, on of Mr.. Michael Heffernan, of the Hnron road,McKillop, iA and who resides near. Henn% was ,en- gaged in buying shee and lambs from the neighboring farm rs. At that time 5Fhe purchased about 0 sheep from vari- ous different persons land placed them on one of his father's farms near'this town. He had neglected, when he bought the sheep, to put his -own mark upon them, but some of them bore the mark of their previous owners. Before he got them marked with his own mark the sheep got out of the field in which they had been placed and streyed away. When looking for the sheep young Heffernan found a number of glee') oti the road op- posite the farm of Mr. Felll in Hibbert. Some of these sheep he knew to be his from the marks which they bore, but others of them, being enmarked, he was not so sure of. Finding; them all to- gether,however, he supposed them all to be his, and accorditigly Idrove them home. Shortly after, Mr. Fell called upon him and told him that he had driven off his sheep, and demanded- them of him. Heffernan told I Fell where the sheep were, and that if he cotild.select his own sheep he could have them. This Fell refused to do, &eying that his sheep were -not marked and that he mad not dis- tinguish them" from the others, and de - mended of - Heffernan that as he had taken the sheep away he should return them, which demand Heffernan refused ' to comply with. , Mr. Fell then went to ' Mr. Akins, a magistrate near Dublin, . and laid information against Heffernan for stealing his sheep. Heffernan was ac- cordingly summonsed before the magis- trate, and after the preliminary hearing was committed to stand his trial at the next competent court of jurisdiction,and giving bail for his appearance was liberated. Thus endeth the first ehapter, now for the secend : In com- pany with a constab etO Mr. Fell again called upon Mr. He ernan and selected the sheep and lambs kich he sup sed ficv to be his and tobk them away. ome time after this Mr. Heffernan called „upon Mr. Fell again„aud in the presence 1 1 , Of a witness•dernanded the retutn of the sheep which he, Fell, had taken. ' Fell refused: to give them up, Whereupon_ Heffernan procured the services of a con-, stable_ and returned to take forcible: possession of the sheep. In the men-. time, however, Mr. Fell had sold the lambs, and they eould not be got, but the old sheep were seized by the con- stable, and returned to Heffernan, in whose possession they now are.- Heffer- nan has now entered an action 'in the - Division Court against Mr. Fell for the price of the lambs which have not beee given up, and thus the matter no* stands. The res It will likely be that the lawyers will , ave _the --sheep, or at kast the'price a them; and that both parties to the (repute will come out poorer in pocket but richer in experi- ence. • THE LATE M s. WILSON.—We last week noticed the illness of Mrs. D. D. Wilson of this town. We then little an- ticipated that it would this week be our rinful duty to 'chronicle her death. , uch, however is the ease. On Satur: day the sad inielligence was annonnced that she had passed away about 1 eight o'clock that morning. We need scarcely say that the a,nnouncement brought. sort row to the hearts of many of our citizens. Although never veryrobust. Mrs. Wil- son has enjoy.ed during the past summer better heelth tho.n she had for several years, but about twelve days before her death she took a sudden chill which was followed by a high fever, and soon after diarrhoea of a very aggravated kind set in. This so weakened an already enfeebled constitution, that despite the most cire- ful and *tender nursing andethe most skilful inedical treatment, the patient, after en illness of two weeks, succumbed to the 'disease. 'It was not, however, until the eveni g preceding her death 1 that real danger was feared. So that; while the memb rs •of her own house- hold were in a m,easure prepared for the resqt, the annceincement came upon the outside public m st unexpectedly. Mrs. Wilton was the Idea daughter of Thos. Richardson, Es .1, Of North Dumfries, Waterloo county; and was ia native Canadien. She Was 49 years of age. Mr. Wilson has bow been a resident and. - leading beeinees man of this town for about twehty years, and hence the de- ceased was among the pioneer settlers, and here we may say, she had spent the best years of her -life, and they were not spent in vain. Few, if any, enjoyed more fully the love and esteem of every person, and of all classes, by whom she was known; In her quiet, kind, unos- tentatious way she was always p, leader in every charitable and Christian move- mentand there are very many, especial- ly among the poor of the town, who will sadly miss not only eher cheerful smile and encouraging word,but more substan- tial aid which was always liberally be- stowed where it was most needed and deserved. • But while she will be missed, and sadly missed in this way, her loss will be most keenly felt in the church with which she had been connected al- most since its formation, and in the home circle. In the former she was a leader and wise counsellor, while in the latter she was the beloved and loving mother; and affectionate, thoughtful wife. In fact, tn every relation of life, she acted the part of a true Christian woman, and ehe•well merited the high esteem and affection in which she was cherished by all. Her last moments were such as only a true and believing Christian can enjoy, and the best , index of her life and character we can give is the remark she made to her -pastor when toldthat the great change must soon take place, and that all hope of recovery •was gone. This .announcement did not seem to disturb her in the least, and she quietly remarked : " I know in whom I have believed,—I am going home." She cheerfully resigned the pleasures and comforts of her beautiful and luxurious earthly honk for the:endless joys of the 'mansion beyond the skies.' She leaves behind a family of four girls and three boys, the: youngest of whom is about five years of age. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon,and was one, 'of the largest ever seen in these parts. Indeed the attendance on this occasion ab dantly manifestednot on ly the esteem . in hich the deceased was held, but also th sincere sympathy felt for the bereav- ed husband and family on account of the irreparable loss. - 1 , •‘ LOCAL BRIEFS. —Mr. Jas.

Why they should delight in this sort of thing it is impossible to say, as there cannot be -any fun in it to anybody. if they do not desist, however, they will undoubt- edly get themselves into trouble and be exposed.
