DISTRICT MATTERS.
HURON'S M. P's.—The Stratford Bea-
con of a few days agessa.ys "Dr. Mac-
donald, M. P. for East Huron, was in
Stratford ' to -day on a visit to his
brothers, J. P. and James Macdonald.
He was on his way. home from Ottawa.
Dr. Macdonald has already made for
himself a goad position -in Parliament, as
a ready and able debater and by his
familiarity with Parliamentary proce-
dure and the questions that daily come
up. East Hurop has a representative of
which it may be proud. Another repre-
sentate of Huron, Mr. John McMillan,
was in the city yesterday. Mr. McMil-
lan is also a highly intelligent man, and
can acquit himself well in the House, on
the platform or at the desk."
LACROssE.—The Beaver Lacrosse Club
of this town play their first champion-
ship matcli to -day in London. The
Londons are considered the strongest
team in the distriet, so that there will
likely be an exciting game. Our boys
are practising hard, and intend to get
there" if possible. .As will be seen by
the list below, the team is a strong one,
and should give a good account of them-
selves. The following is the team : Goal
—P. Freeman; point -3. Smith; cover
point—O. Neil; defense field—W. D.
Stewart, A. J. Willson, W. McKay;.
centre—W. W. Meredith home field—
J. Winter, C. Dowling, it. McLellan,
out side home—C. McKay ; in side
heme—T. F. Coleman.
STRAWBERRY SOCIAL.—The social un-
der the direction of the young men of
the Methodist church, held on the beau-
tiful lawn in front of Mr. O. C. Willson's
residence on Wednesday evening, was
eminently successful in every respect.
The evening was lovely, and the grounds
were tastefully decorated, brilliantly
lighted with Chinese lanterns, &c., and
looked almost as enchanting as fairy-
land. There was a large attendance,
and all seemed to enjoy themselves.
Strawberries and ice-cream were sup-
plied in abundance, and vocal music and
selections by the band made up an ex-
cellent intellectual feast. Nothing was.
left undone by Mr. and Mrs. Willson and
family to make the occasion pleasant
to all.
GOOD ADS -ICE TO CANADIANS. one-
time Seaforth boy, who now has a re-
sponsible situation in a large establish-
ment in San Francisco, California, writes
to a friend in town as follows: " I
would advise all Canadians coming to
this country in quest of situations to
ateer clear of San Francisco, and any one
acquainted with this city will tell you
there is no 'worse place in the United
States to be out of work in. The city is
" immense," and the climate all that
could be desired, but 'there are three
times as many idle men as there are
situations. Hardly a day passes that
we do not have five or six applicants for
work. These people will offer to work for
anything, for even their board, and some
of them really good men. There are so
many influential men who et -ant to get
their sans into some large house; to
these _wages are no lobject These, to-
gether with the men Who will work for
their board, make it rather hard for a
.poor man, who has nothing but his ex-
perience and good name to depend upon.
I have been around recently, trying to
get a place for a friend, but they are all
as Ours, _full, and one gentleman told me
he would advise no one to come here
anlessthey could afford to wait around
probably six months, and even then he
might be as far off as ever. I would ad-
vise any young and ambitious Cana-
dians, who have reasonably good places
at home, to stay right with them, as
thy would soon learn did they come to
this country, its not a.11 gold that glit-
ters.' Of course there are some who
come here and do well, but the multi-
tude are not so fortunate. * * *
John Campbell, formerly of Seaferth,
was here a few days ago, but I guess he
has gone back to Victoria,'as I have not
seen him around lately. He told me he
sold all the horses he took from Ontario
sad made well out of them." It would
be well for youtig Canadians'who are
restless with their positions here, and
who hanker for life in some of the large
American cities, and who see in their
imaginations wealth and honor rising up
before them there, to consider the situa-
tion carefully before they decide to make
the change. San Francisco is not by
any means exceptional, and although
sprite are fortunate and get into good
situations and do well, many have a
long, weary struggle to keep the wolf
from the door. A bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush, and there is lots
of room in this Canada of ours for all
who are sober, honest and industrious.
DIED IN DAKOTA.—Many of our read-
ers in this vicinity will be deeply grieved
to learn of the death of Miss Bell Scott
Adam, daughter of Mr. John Adam, for-
merly of McKillop, near Seaforth. The
sad event took place at the residence of
her brother in Eddy County, Dakota,
on the lOth of June last. Miss Adam
was, we might say, just entering upon
womanhood, being only 26 years of age,
and gee e promise -of a most usefulChris-
tian life. We have not learned of the
immediate causes which led to her death,
but her character may be judged from
the followThe tribute paid her memory
by her pastRev. Mr. Mctee, of Buf-
falo, Dakota, 'in his memorial addrnss, of
which a friend has sent us the folrowing
extract : Isabella. Scott Adam was born
in. Canada on the 19th day of October,
1360. Had she lived until the leaves of
autumn are ready to fall she weuld have
lived Seven and twenty years. She re -
mot ed here with her parents, as you all
kuov, some years since. At a very early
age she made a profession of her faith in
Christ, and became a member of the
Presht terian church. Her consistency
and earnestness in with her devotion
and coneecration to the cause of Jesus
were four brilliant jewels in her ever-
lasting crown. She was a conspicuous
member of Society, acting well and
nobly her part in the Sabbath School, in
her home, in the public school room-,
everywhere a mellow and sweet radiance
was cast upon all by the sunshine of her
greeting, and the pleasantry of her
smiles wooing to her the hearts of all the
Old and young in this entire vicinity.
To make the orld purer, nobler, better
and Christ -like was her daily aim. As
an instructress her highest aim was to •
fill the souls of her scholars with the
noblest truths of (led, to elevate them,
to inspire them, to paint their hearts
with the glories of the Son of Christ, as
the sunshine of the morn paints the rose
of June with the most brilliant colors.
Her obedience, her reverence, her love
for her parents, 'tis said, were wonder-,
ful, and did she not sacrifice her life for
a sister whom she tenderly loved? Was
not her devotion to her friends and com-
panions beautiful indeed? She was a
.Christian, we believe'in all its entirety.
,"Her life, truly, washidhvith Christ in
God." Ohs what a glorious future there
must be for such an one standing upon
Pizgala's sublime height, like Moses,
when her life's work was done. Who
can tell of -her rapturous glimpses when
passing over the River of Death? Her
whole life, in its symmetry, its loveli-
ness and glory, was well known by you
all! What a noble example to us ! her
life having been finished, her death was
quiet and peaceful. "The sun went
down whilst it was yet day," and as you
all know, last Sa,bbath, delightful even-
ing as it was, we laid her away, and the
noblest epitaph we can write for her. is:
"Well done! Life's struggles are o'er."
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of Ills saints."
APPLETON'S AMERICAN CYCLO1'2EDIA.
—This great work of the age is now offered to.
the reading people of Seaforth, by T. R. House,
M. D. ageet for D. Appleton & Co. It is illus-
trated with more than 7,500 maps and engrav-
ings, and is completed to date of 1887 in 28 Royal
Octavo Volumes, of 850 pages to each Volume.
It is an invaluable repository of universal infor-
illation, and in itself constitutes a weIl-selected
library. The reading public are with pleasure
accepting the fact that D. Appleton 8; Co's Great
American Cyclopedia is now the only existing
work published in the English language which
treats comparatively of more than 80,000 sub-
jects under the heads of Art, Science and Litera-
ture, and that either one or another of which is
inseparably connected with every want of the
world's people. This vast surging crowd we be-
hofd riding the irresistible tide of human ad-
vance. All interested observers see daily the
higher order of intelligence seizing with an eager
hand the newly discovered elements in. science,
and appropriating them to their uses. It is
clearly to be seen that he who lags behind is a
social and business drone, and his very existence
is a prey to his own parasitic sloth. Address P.

BAREFACED ACT. —A couple of our

a number of years, but a short time ago
they shaved them off.
