THE PVELIC SCHOOL. -The following is a statement of the average attendance of pupils at the Seaforth Public School for the month of April : MrnMeFaul's department, 3S; Miss Andetnon's, 51; Miss A. Cowan's, 5-2; Miss K. Cowan's, 55; Miss Killeran's, 57; Miss Edward's, 56; Miss Elder's, 50, and Mrs. Coult- er's, 90. This makes a total everage at- tendance for the month of 449, while the total number on the roll was 559. This is a smaller attendance than usual, and is accounted for largely by sickness, such as colds, sore throats, 4c., among the children. • Tows STATisTicil.-Mr. Wp1. Balla.n- tyne, the town assessor, has 'completed his labors and returned theoll to the town clerk. From it we iearn the fol- lowing particulars: The real roperty of the town is this year assessed at $492,- 2Q; the personal property, at $60,800, and the income at $19,230. The total assessment amounts to $579/950. The population of the town is given at 2,510, while there were during the last year 25 births and 10 deaths. Th se figures show a gratifying increase in almost every item over last year, a d proves that, despite hard times, ourj town still continues to Make substantia improve- ment It may also be inte esting to know there are owned withre the town 101 cattle, 39 sheep, 46 laog i and 152 horses. • SUCCESSFUL CLERGYMEN. It will be interesting to the many friends of the reverend gentlemen mentioned to learn that at the official quarterly meeting of the Woodford Circuit, county of Grey, held May 2nd, Rev. J. Ball, formerly of Hensel', and Rev. W'. E. eleaven, formerly of Lueknoev, were 1 earnestly and unanimously requested t return to their charge for another year God has smiled upen these brethren qd blessed their labors to the awakenmg of the churches and in thweonversio of a num- her of precious souls.

Broadioot & Box to enable them to extend their furniture factory. This is a matter of very gre t interest and importance to every prop rty holder and ratepayer of the town, a d we hope our citizens will manifest th ir interest in the town in which their lo is east by turning out in large nura ers. The eeheme will, no doubt, be horoughly explained and diseussed, and it is par- ticularly desirable that tho e who are opposed to the by-law, or wh may have any doubts as to the adv'sability of granting the required aid,[ should be present. It is well that th se both in favor of and opposed to Ihe by-law should be heard, and by n4uuaI con- ference and discussion new lieht may be afforded to teeth.

PERSONAL.-Tbere are few township's in the Province that have sent out into the world a greater number of clev er young men than McKillop. And ameng the number is Dr. D. L.

A Sep CASE. -Mr. Peter MeEweneof this township, near Leadbury, received by telegraph on Tuesday the sad intelli- gence of the death of his eldest daugh- ter, Miss Kate McEwen. It seems that for some time she had been engaged as; a nurse in the hospital at St. Catharines, and while waiting on patients- there she contracted typhoid fever, feom the ef- fects of which she died. She was -about twenty years of age, and was a most ex- emplary and Christian young lady, who, by her generous dieposition and kind manner, had endeared herself to all -who enjoyed her acquaintance. For some. time she taught school in different places • in this vicinity, and she was an excellent scholar and an accomplished musician. Her great aim. in life, however, seemed to be to do good to her fellows and to •mse her talents and influence to win souls to the great Master. In pursuance of this aim she abandoned the teaching profession and :sought admission as nurse to the. hospitals in London and St. Catharines. Her career of useful- • . . • ness . in this sphere was of but short duration, and she has been taken hence by Him whom she labored so faithfully to servehere below. Mr. McEwen,• went to St. Catharines on Tuesday to bring the remains home. Her sudden and sad death will be a eevere blow to her parents, and will be eh:merely Mourned by her many friends, by all of whom her memory will be long and affebtionately cherished. ; for $2,5 Bates an sold, by be seen have pr very m their nei terprise • , ZUriCh.

Me. Dobson, asking him to be their pester. The congregations of Blake and 13airfieid Road although two distinct congr' egations -are united in one pastoral charge. The Blake congregation signed end presented to the Presbytery a unanimous call in favor of Rev. Mr. Dobson. At the congregational meeting 'at the Beyfield Road charge, however, a large majority were in favor of another minister p.nd consequently they did not present any petition in favor of the el-iien or the Blake congregation. In view of these facts the Presbytery d;eem- ed it wise not to proceed further in the matter ad deferred accepting the call of ehe Blake congregation until both congregations secure. a greater degree of unanimity, so that both congregations will still remain on the. list to be sup- plied by probationers, and it is hoped that before long a large majority of both congregations, if not a- unanimous call, . cian be secured for some minister. leers -rare airs ues- i 1 Blyth. , 1" METCALF, of Blyth, is showing a splen- did stock of new Watches and Jewelry.

DEATiiis HARVEST. -On Friday morn- ing last Rev. Mr. Turner, Methodist minister in this circuit, was suddenly taken away. For years back be has not been, very strong, and for a while ere coining here had to rest aside from his active lp,bors, but while here was able to carry oi the work, although at times it Wan evildent his mind was stronger than his ;body. The hard winter which has lately one tried his strength, as his zeal foe the cause often exposed him to severe storms in the fulfilment of his appointments. His life as a minister „was marked by devotedness to and an 'ardent desire to work for the Master, land truly he was taken down in the "barn ss," for on the previous Sabbath he con ucted quarterly services at West- tield, a d preached a sermon steecially to youeg men in the evening here. On Monday following he attended a meet- ing at the former place, and altho-ugh fatigued very much, the few days prior to his death no special larm was taken, and in the end he passed away somewhat unexpectedly to the family. He was 42 years of age, and leaves a wife and five small ehildren, wild receive the. deep sympa hy of the whale circuit and the minis rs in -the neighboring stations.

Go -wen - lock, of McKillop; James Wanless, of Stanley, and R. H. Collins, of Exeter. Five minutes each were allowed all who wished to advocate the claims of any of these candidates, and a general discus- sion followed, in which the merits and demerits of the caudid.ates were reviewed with more or less earnestness. Messrs. GOvenlock, Wanless and Mc- Kay spoke of the great difficulties that had been encountered by them in their efforts as magistrates without remuner- ation, to see the Act enforced, and the Association subsequently placed on record its high appreciation of -the ser- • vices of these gentlemen. Ballotting for the candidates was then proceeded with, J. P. Clarke, Exeter ; W. H. Kerr, Brussels, and R. Holmes, Clinton, acting as scrutineers. Three ballots were taken, only properly ap- pointed delegates being allowed to vote. Dr. Williams ledon each ballot, Mr. McKay being second. On the third bal- lot Dr. Williams was so far ahead that it was evident he was the choice of the convention, and his nomination was then made unanimous by a standing vote, everyone present rising. A resolution wee passed, recommend- ing that the Ontario Government pay reasonable traveling expenses to Inspec- tors in Scott Act Ridings, where same are incurred in the discharge of their duty. Votes of thanks were passed to the In- spectors in the West and South Ridings for the faithful discharge of their duties, and the East Riding Inspector wet hauled over the coals for failing to per- form his, after which the convention closed.
