The add ress was delivered by Rev.. FatheiT Shea, who spoke at Some length on the loss the Sunday School a as about to sustain, and also the choir, on the de- parture of Miss Walsh, Who had been a faithful attendant at both for so many years, but hoped that her future career would more than justify the highest ex- pectations of her friends, and that in leaving Seaforth, where she has resided for so many years, she would carry -with her pleasant ,memories of the past, and the satisfaction of knowing, that how- ever humbly she had endeavored to do her duty te all concerned, it had net been forgotten by those who had par- ticipated in the benefits of her services, He then called upon Mr. J. Darwin to make the presentation, which . was done in a few words. Miss Walsh, on re- turning her sincere thanks to all Who had been instrumental in the getting up of this presentation; said she felt it was undeserved on her part, as she had only done her duty, and expected no such acknowledgment as had been made, but might be pardoned at thinking that 'others who bad perhaps better judg- ment, bad thought differently. She would endeavor in the future, as in the past, to ine4t the approbation of her friends and well-wishers, and again thanked them for their kindthoughful- ness, and said the handsome present would always be a reminder of the warm friends left behind in Seaforth. —We might here say that the mpsical cireles of Seaforth will sustain a less not easily filled by Miss Walsh's 4e- parture. She has always been willing at all timeri to assist in concerts got up for charitable objects, and to . take her part in anything calculated to ad- vanee the interests of the town at large from .0.1 musical standpoint. She left on Tuesday morning foa Toronto, where she will in future reside, and we trust that her brightest hopes will be more than realized, Ocu MILL NERV EsTAII Spring has come. That is an established fact, though judging by the weather, many may net believe it. The milliners found out the secret and *our merchants published it last- week in their grand and unprecedented display of spring and summer millinery arid warin weather goods. Last Friday and Saturday the millinery departments in the establish - merits of Messrs. McLoughlin,1 E. Me - Friel, Duncan & Duncan and Jos. Kidd & Sou, were throwit open for inspection by the public, and were visited during both days by a large number of admir- ing and appreciative spectators. 'As the classes of goods specially exhibited were - designed more particularly for the adornment of the fair sex, of course ladies predominated. There is an old adage, however, which says, "Fine feathers make fine birds," and as gentle- men of taste always admire beauty, in whatever form there were enough re- presentatives of the -sterner oex among the crowds of critics to show that even gentlemen- take considerable interest in the feather" factory. The different:clas- ses of spring and summer goods have seldom, if ever, been so attractive in de- sign, or so chaste and beautiful in color am effect and also suitable to the wants of the people as they are this season. The small bonnets still continue in favor. They are shown in fancy and coarse straws and in bes.ded lace crowns and all have ribbon ties. Hats are of a vaiiety of shapes, high crowned, medium erownedebut mostly with the rim quite narrow behind and projecting in front. On this style of bat the trimming is placed mostly on the back of the crown. A hew feature in trimming is ribbon put on in loose open loops which gives a' light and graceful effect. The princi- pal color in vog,ue is brown in a great variety of shades, with cream, pink and yellow. Black and white are always in good form and always worn more or less. The white chip sun hat' is pretty and becoming and likely to be a favourite. The caps in lace and em- broidered muslin for little children, are very pretty and just the thing for sum- mer wear, and the fancy bonnets for little girls are also worthy of special mention. The different show rooms vir-lre nicely and some of themebeauti- fully decorated. The establishmentsaof Messrs. Duncan & Duncan and E. Me- Faul were • brilliantly illuminated on both Friday and Saturday nights from half -past seveo to ten o'clOck. The goods were artistically arranged and the lovely fabrics displayed tof the best advantage, and not only the 'ishops in- side, but outside about the doors crowds of visitors congregated and el (wed for places. At E. McFauPs the ba d played at intervals during the evenin , proving yet another attraction to the ry goods palaces of Seaforth.

EDIT n, ---It has been the wondet- of a great -m ny people who made the declarations fo the addi- tions to the voters' lists for the Tory party, especially for this vil age. For Brussels it was Jas.

EDITOR, —1 11 Oti ced in the last issue of THE .EXPosiToR that the prom- inent aed enterprieing horsemen of Huron county have succeeded in the establishment .of a Dow stud book, a book much needed for the tracing and showing of the breed •of Clydesdale and Shire horses in Canada ; and it would be wise for our agricultural eocieties and fairs to offer special encouragemeet in the way of prizes to pure bred animals, for it is only from pure bred horses that we may expect to improve our Canadian • horses. But, sir, with your permission and the permiesion of the gentlemeh who have founded the Dominion Stud Book, I wish to say a word. First, Rule -8 reads : " Every animal shught to be registered must be the produce of a pure bred or imported Clydesdale horse (the same applies to the Shire horse); and a mare with at least one cross of either of *the breeds named." According. to my rendering of Rule 8, it makes no difference whether the ani- mal sought to be registered is the pro- duce of a pure bred sire or not. The word " imported " seems , to answer all purposes. A horse may be imported and have little or °no breeding in Mm, might indeed pass for grade, Fur ther on in Rule 8 it reads " And a mare with at least one croes of either of the breeds named. But ' an imported sire must be either regietered or the produCe of a reaistered sire or dam." If it read as follows ; tc Any animal sought to be•regisfered is the produce of a registered Clydesdale horse and the produce of a dam. from a registered horse," then I think it would have meant something, but as it is, it is a, very flimsy affair, and is intended to be of some pecuniary benefit to • those in- terested in the class of horses eligible for registration in its volumes. Sup- posing I have an animal that I wish to have registered in the Dpminion Stud Book. It is the produce of a mare from an imported horse (not registered), and its sire is an imported horse (not regis- tered) but the produce of a registered sire or dam, my animal is eligible for registration in the Dominion Stud Book, and really my animal has not a registered cross in its veins more than that its grand sire or grand dam were regis- tered, The word " imported " is not of so much significance as it would appear , to be in Rule 8. Not wishina to trea- t, pass on your valuable space and hoping that you may give this a place in your columns, I remain Respectfully Yours, SI111s'CRIBEIt. Howick, April 6, 1886. —Eighteen' petitions were presented - in the House of Commons on Tuesday praying that the Canada Temperance Act be amended so that _elle. beer and ;light wines may be sold in counties where that act has been adopted.
