DISTRICT MATTERS.
McFAUL'S Millinery Opening To -Day
arid To-Norrow, Friday and Saturday,
A BIG TIME.—The Salvation Army
. have -issued posters announcing a big
time, or a three days' jubilee, commenc-
ing Saturday afternoon and finishing up
Monday night. They have secured
Cardno's Hall for their meetings on
Sunday afternooreand evening and Mon-
day night. It is expected that large
seurnbers of Salvationists from neighbor-
ing towns will be present. On Monday
night it is expected that seventeen
ofheera, several of them of high rank,
will take part in the meeting. Among
these will be Dr. Zimmerman, of Clin-
ton, and Dr. Sterling, of Stratford, both
of whom, we believe, are able and ear-
nest speakers. • These proceedings will,
no doubt, somewhat revive the interest
in Army circles.
Aesennser Rnale. —Mr., L. 0. Van-
Egmond, of the Woollen _Mills here, has
silo:Wu Us a curiosity which he unearthed
a, few days ago while looking over some
old. papers and family .relics. It is the
Masonic certificate of his grandfather,
the late Anthony Jacob William Van-
Fgmond, and was issued over 80 years
ago. It is on a piece of parchment
about twelve inches square, and is still
in a state of good preservation. The
lodge in which Mr. VanEgmond was
w ade a Mason was called Lodge of
Fortitude No. 29," Tower Hill, Lon-
don, England. The certificate is dated
24th May, 1803, and is signed Wm.
White, Grand Secretary. Mr. Van-
Egmond intends' having this Masonic
relic framed, and Will present it to
Britannia Lodge, Seaforth.
" THE KI8T .a' WHISTLES,"—At the
animal meeting of the congregation of
*e telt Presbyterian church, of this
town, helcl some weeks ago, a resolution
was passed asking the session to have a
'rote of the members of the congregation
taken by ballot in order to determine
48 to whether or not a ' majority would
be favorable to having the use of the
organ in connection with the services of
' the church. The first vote was to ad-
mit the organ on trial for six months
and at the expiration of that -time an-
other vote is to be taken to _decide
whether or not it will be retained per-
naitnently. The vote was concluded on
Sabbath la,st,and showed that 183 voted
for the organ and 106 against, while 209
did not vote at all. On the strength of
. this vote,the session authorized the man-
aging committee to proceed to carry out
the wish of the cengregation as enani-
, feated by the votf, and it is likely the
organ will be intetiducecl aa soon as a
suitable instrument can be procured,
The organ question has created dissen-
sions and disturbances in a great many
Presbyterian congregations, but we are
glad to learn that there is no danger of
any difficulty here,aa the people seem to
have too _much good sense to permit any
such question to create dissensions
. amongst them, and that the minority
will cheerfully yield to the expressed
Widi of the majority inthe matter.
WoeiEn Woaxmose—We make the
fallowing extract from the report of the
secretary of the Seaforth Women's
Christian Temperance Union, which ap-
peared in the last issue of the Wonian's
Journal, a neat and interesting little
paper, published in Ottawa, in the in-
, tereate of the Provincial Union. From
tZ this extract some idea of the good work
which this excellent society is doing
here Will be gleaned, and we may also
*tate that our town authorities might
, profit from the suggestions thrown out.
he report proceeds: "We have twenty-
one members, almost all of whom are
active and interested workers, formed
into committees for visiting I the sick, -
and relieving the poor, vrhich has been
doe to a considerable extent with pro-
elaions, clothing and fuel, the commit'
tee carefully purchasing and distributing
personally, as we have made a atria
rule never to give money. We have a
very diffieult class of poor to deal with,
and a much greater tunnber than is war-
rantable for the size of the place, but it
Largely due to the number of hotels
and the hitherto non -enforcement of the
3-eott Act. We have been Severely
tried with that most difficult of encum-
-brances, the Irish immigrant, for wbom it
has been almost impossible to procure
work, even for those w'ho will do it. If
the corporations of these small towns
would provide work, such as clearing
the SII.OW from the sidewalks of the
public streets, or any employment,
adopting -the ticket system used in Tor-
onto this winter, they would then have
a fair opportunity of discovering the
-worthy and deserving cases among those
who apply for relief, such an unquali-
tied distribution of charity- does eugen-
der-want of self-respect, and fosters a
growth of idle habits. * * * Our
free night school, three nights in the
week numbera thirty-five pupils, where
they are taught thoroughly reading,
writing aud arithmetic, also a class for
young girls the same evenings (learning
plain sewing and knitting) of sixteen.
These classes have been very successful
and gave complete satisfaction. The
Band of Hope numbers one hundred and
sixty-five children, all of whom appear
to take a thorough and pleasing interest
in all that is done for them." .
A WI EkAMINATIONS.—The secretary
of the Mechanics' Inetitute has frianish-
ed us with the returns °Effie art examin-
tion held here under the auspices of the
Ontario School of Art, This year the art
classes of the High School and the art
elas$ of the Mechanics' Institute com-
bined, and below we give the result of
the examination so far as Seaforth is
concerned. The pupils have secured
107 certificates and a return of nearly
$90 in prize money. We doubt if any
town in Ontario can boast of as good a
record. Last week we published the

Killoran as. having secured full Certifi-
cates. To that list we add the name of

gains should attend.
SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS.—We have
pleasure in noticing that Mr. Wm.
Murdie, a former student of the Sea -
forth High School and for sdme years a
successful teacher in this vicinity, has
graduated with honors at the Detroit
Medical College, and has taken his dee
gree of M. D. He also won a prize
offered for the best essay on skin dis-
eases. For. the past year and a half
Mt. Murdie has had charge of St.
Luke's Hospital in Detroit. Instead of
offering- scholarships as a reward for
merit, as is the custom in Canadian col-
leges; we understand the Detroit School
give the position of surgeon in each of
the three -hospitals in connection with
the college. This entitles the successful.
student to free board and lodgings, as
well as additional advantages in perfect-
ing himself in his profession. Inthis
respect Mr. Murdie has been remark-
ably successful, as he has held a position
in this hospital, first 4s assistant and
afterwards as surgeon, for two years.
We understand Dr. Merdie intends pur-
suing the practice of his profession in
Detroit, having taken a partnership with
Professor Walker, one of the keeling
practitioners of the city.
—The many friends of Mr. W. M.
Donald, for some time a resident of this
town, will be pleased to learn that he
has passed his second year examination
in McGill Medical College, Montreal,
-
taking first-class honors in physiology
and materia medica, and second-class in
the other subjects. Mr. Donald's suc-
cess is all the more creditable to him, as
he has had many difficulties to contend
with. But pluck, perseverance and
good habits well enable a young man to
overcome almost any difficulties, and
Mr. Donald possesses these good quali-
ties iu an eminent degree.
THE SEED WHEAT SWINDLE. — A
number of farmers in this 'bounty have
been badly victimized this spring by
sharpers who have been around selling
spring wheat. The modus operandi
adopted to secure victims has varied in
accordance with the necessities of the
circumstances -Or the susceptibility of
the intended victim. In some instances
the farmer has been indaced to sign a
note which was cleverly adjusted under
a harmlessly worded agreement which
was presented to him and which he sup-
posed he was signing. In other in-
stances, less credulous individuals were
induced to sign an agreement simply on
the representation of the agent and
without reading it. It is quite unneces-
sary to say that this agreement was en-
tirely different from lrhat the agent
represented it, and in each case it bound,
the person signing to pay a large sum of
money, in some instances $180, in others
$200, and so on, and we have heard of
one farmer who will have to pay as high
.as $385 for s his experience. , .All that
these parties will receivel in returnfor
their morrey is a few bushels of wheat,
worth, probably; fifteen or twenty dol-
lars, or, perhaps, nothing at all. . It is a
sad commentary upon the intelligence
of our people that otherwise shrewd, in-
telligent, sensible men will thus permit
themselves to be gulled and robbed by
smooth-tongued strangers, of whom
they know nothing and who they have
never before seen, simples because they
are offered what seems ' be a bargain,
and this, top, in the fac Of the thou-
sands of warnings- they have reiceived.
If people could only be iriduced to pat-
ronize reputable dealers in their midst,
who have a reputation to sustain, in-
stead of giving their money to these.
smooth-tongued • rogues, they would
save themselves trouble and expense and
Would be doing the community a ser-
vice. Pepple should ma e it a point to
look vvith suspicion upo any agent or
tramp who offers .for s le any ,'article
that can readily be proc red from the
tradesmen of the district, whether it be
seed wheat,'tea, jewelry or dry goods;
because there is no obj ct in buyin
from such, unless he sells cheaper, an
if he does so or profesee to do so, he
either lies or is practising fraud in some
way, as the . keen comp4tition in the
ordinary trade has reduced. prices as low
as it is possible for goods o be sold. If
people would take this as a- maxim they
would never be gulled, cheated or
swindled, and would-be infinitely better
off in the end. Deal with reputable
business men whom you *now and who
have a reputation to sustain, and turn
the tramp from your premises as soon as.
possible. 1

HAWKERS AND PEDLABEL—Mr. W. A.
Foster, Qi C., moved the ther day at
Osgoode Hall, Tcironto, before Chief
Justice Wilson, to 'quash a conviction
under a Hawkers and Ped ars by-law in
a case of Queen v. Chayte . Chayter is
in the employ of Me rs. Hodges,
Winans & Co., of Toronto, and was con-
victed at Seaforth, under the Hawkers
and Pedlars Act, for selling electroplate
and silverware. The wor a used in the
Act are tea, dry goods, ot jewelry, and
the goods sold by Chaterj were a sugar
bowl and combined spoon holder, which .
Mr. Foster oontended Were' not jewelry,
and not within the Act. judgment was
reserved. A great deal cf interest is
taken in the case, because if the convic-
tion is upheld it will be a ieavy blow to
Toronto merchants, whol make large
profitelfrom the sales of t eir travellers.
—The above is from the Toronto Mail
of a recent date. We n tice that on
fuesday,Chief Justice Wil on gave judg-
ment quashing the &nevi tion without
costs. This being • the cas , it will still
be legal for these peddlars o travel from
door to door vending the r goods with-
out let or hindrance. Th law must be
amended at the next session of the Legis-
lature. If it is wrong to permit the un-
licensed sale of jewelry, dry -goods, &c.,
in this way, it is equally wrong to so
permit the sale of electroplate and silver-
ware. As for the hardship being done
the 'Toronto dealers who send out these
peddlers, t4aet is not a reetter :of much
importance.' )If they wish to sell they.'
can procure a license for so doing, and
by this meetns the public -ill be able to
keep track of them_and if they swindle
their customers by making bogus agree-
ments or selling a sputioue article, they
can be. over -hauled and bilought to ac-
count for it. If they do not see fit to lay
themselves liable. in this way, it is the
best possible proof that theY are not safe
customers to be let loceie upon an unsus-
pecting public. If people would, how
ever, refuse to buy from these travelling,
hawkers, and patronize honest and re-
putable dealers of whom i they knew,
they would not require the . protection
of law, but recent events w rich have ec-
curred in this county, and to which -we
refer elsewhere go to show that the law
is needed still, and that s should be
-made sufficiently comprehe sive to cover ,
all such gases as that refer ed to.

Kansas, and talks as if he would like to
go there to live.
A 'GOOD TEAM SOLD.—Mr. John.
Thorpe, of the 3rd'concession, has sold
his handsome team of three year old
heavy draught colts to Messrs. McMann
& Dickson for the sum of $500. One of
these; the best one, was sired. by " Old

universally admitted to be the best pair
of colts that has left the county for a
long time.
Yentas RENTED.—Mr. Samuel Crich,
of the West End, has rented his hundred
acre farm to Mr. John Rinn, of Hullett,
for five years, at an annual rental of

township, and Mr. Rinn gets it very
reasonably. Mr. Crich has also rented
his fifty acres to Mr. Geo. Crich. , Mr.

iris were both Tuckersmith girls. Dur-
ing the past three or four years a dozen
young Men from Manitoba and Dakota

to come to for good wives.

Simon Hunter, of •the 8th concession of
Tuckersmith, has sold his valuable bay
filly, "Tuckersmith Maid," to Mr.
Wm. Burns, merchant tailor of Toronto,
for the sum of $180. She was sired by
"North Star," ia-21 .months old, and is
a beautiful type of the Clydesdale
breed. We are pleased to notice that
Mr. Burns, who, by the way, is a former
resident of Tuckersmith, although he
has gone into the clothing business on a -
large scale, has not lost the interest he
has always taken in agricultural mat-
ters, but has also gone into the enter-
prise of breeding superior -and thorough-
bred horses. He has purchased—this
fine 'filly for breeding purposes.
A GOOD Seneee-The auction sale held
on the farm of Mr. McCaa on .Friday
last was one of the best ever held in the
township. There-. was a very large
crowd of people present, and the old
veteran and people's favorite auctioneer,
Mr. J. P. Brine, who Wielded the- ham-
mer, was not slow to take advantage of
the favorable' circumstances, and secur-
ed for each animal and article sold the
very highest available price. Mr. Jas.
Gemmill, of Tuckersmith, bought a six
year old mare for$184 • the mate of
this animal, five years olci, was bought
by Mr. Hugh Gilmour; of Stanley, for
$161. A spring foal by ".North Star,"
was purchased by .Mr. Wm. Elgie for
$101', and a grade cow by Mr. Duncan
McGregor', of Tuckersmith, for $72. -•
-Cows averaged about $45 each.. Steers
Went a,alsigh as $67.50. The whole sale
realized the sum of $1,930. We under-
stand that Mr. McGee; intends corning
to Egmondville toreside, having leased
from Mr. Thos. Hill the residence re-
cently occupied by Mr. Mustard.
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.—Ancither
pioneer in the person of Mary McKay,
relict of the late Murdoch McKay, passed
to her long home on the 20th .March at
the advanced age -of 87 years. The de-
ceased was a native of Sutherlandshire,
Scotland, and with her husband and
family came to this country in 1848.
They first settled in Woodstock, where
they retreained two years and then re-
moved tolhe township of Tuckersmith
and took up land on the 4th concession,
•
where ihe has since resided. At that
time the country was all and the
deceased underwent all the hardships
and privations , incidental to pioneer
life. Her husband died about 18 years
ago. She was a hard-working, indus-
trious woman; wee a kind and obliging
neighbor and was much and deservedly
esteemed by all who knew her. She
was mother eaf Messrs. William and
James McKay, Tuckersmith; Donald
McKay, Eginondville, and Eric McKay,
Minnesota.
Bluevale.
A GOOD HORSE.—Mr: Hugh Ross, one
of our most prosperous farmers, returned
home on Friday last, and brought with
shim a very handsome breeding mare,
.which he had purchased from Messrs.
McIntosh & Swan, of Brucefield. This
mare was sired by "Lord Aberdeen," is
five years old, and a beautiful dark grey.
She is a model animal of her class and
'should yield Mr. Ross some prize colts.

TEMPERANCE MEETING. —A number
of Good Templars from Seaforth visited
this place on Wednesday evening last
for the purpose of reorganizing the Con-
stance -Lodge, a once prosperous institu-
tion which has for some time been
allowed to fall into decay. On account
of the unfavorable . weather and bad
roads, the attendance was not so large
as was expected, and consequently it
was deemed advisable to postpone the
reorganization of the lodge until a future
occasion when a larger attendance could
be got. A very pleasant evening, how-
ever, was -spent, music, readings, • &c.,
forming the programme. •
SCHOOL EXAMINATION.—A very suc-
cessful examination was held in Kin -
burn Public School on Friday last,
March 26th. The teachers, Mr. King
and Miss McEsten, were assisted by a
number of pedagogues from the neigh-
boring sections. About 100 visitors'
were present, which is convincing proof
that the people of this section take a
lively interest in the education of the
young and rising generation. The exer-
cises began at 9 a. m., and were epliven-
ed throughout with choice selections of
vocal and instrumental music, well ren-
dered by the teachers and pupils of the
school. The enajority of the junior
classes were examiped in the forenoon,
after which refreshments, provided by
the good ladies of the section, were
served by the pupils, and did not fail to
satisfy the appetite of the most fastidi-
ous. justice having been done to the
.good things, labor was resumed, the ex-
amination of the senior classes occupy-
ing most of the time till 4 o'clock. The
order during the day was excellent, and
the pupils acquitted themselves in a
praiseworthy manner, showing they
were. under the -tuition of careful and
efficient teachers. Before the close a
number of*recitations dialogues and
songs were given by the pupils that de-
lighted the audience. - Addressee, were
then delivered by the trustees, parents
and teachers present, all expressing en-
tire satisfaction with the condition of
the school. The 'proceedings of the day
were brought -to a close by singing the
National Anthem and the company dis-
persed.—A Visrron.
McKillop.
Mr.. KERR'S SALE.—Mr. J. P. Brine
held_ a very successful auction sale on
the farm of Mr. John Kerr in this town-
ship on Wednesday of last week. There
was a large attendance of people, and
excellent prices were realised, eepecially
for stock. Cows averaged 548; three
and four year old steers averaged $49
each, ancl yearling steers :a2.5 each..
Sheep averaged $17 per pair. The
whole sale footed up to nearly $1,500.
This is a high figure, considering that
there were no good horses sold. Mr.
Kerr intends r °
etirine, and his farm will
be worked by his brother, Mr. Alex.
Kerr, who has leased one of his farms
to Mr. Thos. Lapslie.
OBITUAtY.—We regret to chronicle
the death of.Mrs. Robert Campbell, lot
33, concession 7, McKillop. This sad
event took place on Saturday, the 20th
March. Mrs. Campbell was the eldest
daughter of the late Joseph Page, who
emigrated from Ireland in 1844, and
with his family settled in McKillop, on
the Huron Roaa, -between what was
then Garronbrook and the present town
of Mitchell. She was married to Mr.
Campbell in October, 1848, andl for a
short tizne afterwards they lived in
-s
.r
Tuckersmith, on the farm owned by Mr.
John Hugill, on the . Huron Road. In
the fall of 1853, the deceased, with her
husband, went to settle on the ferns in
McKillop, and they cootinued to live
there happily and peacefully until death
separated them.. Mrs. Campbell has
been in delicate health for some years,
having been affliCted with some form of
heart disease and for the past month
her sufferings:have been most keen, and
she had been unable to lie down, so that
the change was, to her, a welcome one.
She bore her affliction , with Christian'
resignation, and was perfectlyaware
that she was on her death -bed. She
was a faithful and consistent member of
the Methodist church, and was a kind,
unassuming Christian lady, and was
much and deservedly esteemed in the
neighborhood where she had lived BO
long. She leaires a husband and six of a
family to mourn the loss of a faithful
wife and affectionate mother. Two sons
and one daughter are in the Northwest;
two daughters are still at home, and the
fourth is Mrs. Henry Cash, of McKillop.

which the entertainment was gotten up.
—Mr. Robert McMillan, of Roxboro,
who_reoetitIST-returned from visiting his
son in Western Kansas, was much pleas-
ed with his visit. His son has a large
herd of cattle and. hogs, and has 900

becoming wealthy. Mr. McMillan says
the past winter was unprecedentedly se-
vere in that district, and caueed great
loss among the flocks and herds.
