DISTRICT MATTERS.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.—It would seem
to be a necessity, to remind correspon-
dents every few weeks of the necessity
of appending their names to any produc-
tions they !send us for publication. It is
not necessary that the names be pub:
lished, but they are required by the
Editor as a harantee of good faith, Wa
have now one -hand several letter's and
articles on various subjects which are
witheld from publication simply because
this universal aule has not been complied
with.
•
A Cr:Rao:ant —Mr. R. B. Scott, of
Roxboro, McKillop, has shown us a real
literary curiosity in the shape of the
first paper published in Palestine. It is
-called the "Hadikat-el-Akhbar," and
was issued in the town of Bayrout, on
the 14th. of May, 1874. It is a paper
about half the size of THE EXPOSITOR,
and une side is printed in Arabic and the
other in French. The Arabic characters
are the most comical and resemble some-
what phonographic hieroglyphics Mr.
Scott received it about 12 years ago from
Mr. Jas. Black, a merchant in Bayrout,
and a former employer of Mr. Scott.
The paper, no doubt, contains a good
deal of interesting reading to those who
can make it out. Mr. Scott can decipher
most of it as he spent 12 years of his life
in Palestine, having been book-keeper
and Confidential clerk in the -wholesale
establishment of Mr. 131ack. It is a
e curiosity which is well worth preserving.
THE PROPER. WAY.—The Beacon says
'that some Stretfordites, who were in
Goderich on Tuesday, were struck with
•the summary justice meted out to fakirs
in that old-fashioned town. An indi-
vidual was engaged in what in their
awn. vernacular is known as "roping in
suckers" with the nutshell game. A
granger was just going to bite when one
of the Stratford excursionists gave him
a pointer on the game. The thimble -
rigger objected to the interference, and
the altercation brought constable Yule
to the spot, who, seeing what was 'Dsg-
eein
on, grabbed all the moveable part of the
fakir's paraphernalia and threw it in his
face. The cheat objected, and the 'ion -
stable thereupon smashed his whole out
against the fence. The treatment was
evidently just what was needed_ for the
case.
COUNCIL DOINGS.—A meeting of the
town council was held on Monday even-
ing. Accounts for street improvements,
acc., to the amount- of $588 were passed
and ordered to be paid. A. by-law
authorizing the watering of main street
was passed. The fire and water com-
mittee were authcirized to have the
reservoir at the waterworks completed
at as early a date as possilale and at as
small a cost as consistent with efficiency.
The Reeve, Deputy Reeve a.nd Council-
lor Hawkshaw were appointed a com-
mittee to wait on Mayor Beattie and
negotiate for the purchase of a part of
Beattie's grove for a public park for the
use of the munieipality on the best teens
possible, end report at next meeting
a cou‘ncil. The band stand committee
were instructed to have the new stand
painted with two coats, of plain paint.
The sum of $12 was granted to Jerry
O'Shea for cutting thistles within the
corporation. Mr. Strong gave notice
that at the next meeting he evould intro-
duce a motion, amending the by-law
relating to the firing of guns and other
explosives within the municipality of the
town of Seaforth.
ACCI E N TS. a -Mr. Thomas Hill, of Eg-
monclville, met with a very painful ac-
cident on. Tuesday last. He went out
to Mr. Wm. Ireland's, on the Mill Road,
for the purpose of paring the hoofs of a
. young horse. While thus engaged the
aaimal became restless and in some way
threw Mr. Hill down on the arard floor
in the stall. In falling he struck his
Isaac on a sharp, atone bruising- and
cutting the knee cap. He is quite lame
and will probably be laid up for a couple
of weeks, but we hope no serious results
will follow.
—On Monday afternoon last as Mr.
John G. Wilson, of Silver Creek, was
working at his hay, something, went
wrong with the horse fork: He went
up to the track in the ridge of the barn
to put things right and was standing on
a pole with his left hand on the track
steadyiug himself. While in this posi-
tion the horse, which was working the
.fork, made a sudden start and the fork
carriage came back along the track like
lightning and before Mr. Wilson could
remove his hand it was caught by the
wheels of the carriage. In this position
he was held fast and could not remove
his hand until two men came to his
rescue and by the aid of a crowbar pried
the carriage back so as to relieve him.
His hand was badly cut and mangled
and even under the most favorable cir-
cumstances it will be several weeks be-
fore he will have the use of it again al-
though it is hoped it ia not permanent-
ly injured.

THE TWELFTH IN Tow. --Tuesday
'eat was one of the dullest days we have
had in town this season. Tae monotony,
however, was somewhat broken by the
Orangemen and their friends before their
departure to, and after their return from
Goderich, About nine o'clock several
lodges, accompanied by friende, came in
from the country to take the train here
for the County town, and for a short
time the fife and dram bands and the
crowds on the street made things lively.
A special train was'run from the east to
Goderich, aad it arrived here about ten
o'clock. Shortly before that hour :the
Orengenien who had assembled forraed
in procession at the Queen's hotel, iiaid
headed by the Seaforth band and follow-
ed by a large concourse of people,march-
ed to the station. In the evening about
eight o'clock the train returned, and
again the Orangemen'headed by ,he
band, marched up Main street to the
Queen's, where they disbanded. After
delighting the on -lookers for half an
hour or: sa with the genuine Twelfth
music on the fifes and drums, the visit-
ors got their conveyances and left for
their respective homes. Manyoi them,
especially of the ladies, looked to be
pretty well tired out, and although they
no doubt enjoyed the visit to the lake
shore, and spent a pleasant day, We are
safe in predicting that most of them
would be heartily glad when they once
more reached their comfortable homes.
Some idea of the Crowd at Goderich may
be formed when we say that there were
185 tickets sold at Mitchell; 392 at Sea -
forth, and 407 at Clinton stations, and
thee only represented a tithe of the
numbers in attendance. , We dare say
the County town friends would like to
get a similar benefit very frequently.
D. APPLEToN & CO. VS. ALL OTHERS.
—Appleton's Great Amerfcan Cyclopmdia is a
vast comprehensive library in itself, and a sub-
stitute for more than one thousand vq1urnes
specially given to Art, Science, Literature and
Events, and -unlike all encyclopxdia it is the
completed cyclo of all knowledge as given from
the earliest dawn of. Mythological History up
to the Times vaulting spirit of the American
phoenix of 1887. This work, with its 7,500 maps
and illustrations and its 80,000 subject articles,
is now the BURNISS envy of every encyclopedia
publisher in the English speaking world. This
Cyclopmdia is now completed and. follows yearly'
-With its Cyelopiedia Annuals which keep it
abreast with the age • Whilst those which are
published in continued edition form, will have
their first volume from fifteen to twenty years
old, when the last one is issued. It will thus be
seen that suchencyclopedias, which are pub-
lished in continued edition form, are one con-
tinued series of annual missions, and never up
to date, even the very last volume. So harras-
sing is this to the Votaries of Science, that one
hundred and forty six Canadian schools of On-
tario, with nearly a like number of Quebec and
the Maritime provinces, have removed, their in-
ferior works from their shelves and replaced
them with Appleton's Great American Cyclo-
pedia. 1022

The Twelfth at Go • erich.
Much to the delight of al Orangemen
the Twelfth of July daw ed fair and
bright, and consequently t ey repaired
in crowds with their wives nd children
and sweethearts to Goderic , where the
general celebration 'for this district was
to be held. Three large exc rsion trains,
packed to their utmost cepa ity, reached
Goderich shortly before n on, and the
town was fairly alive wit red jackets
and white dresses, and reso nded with
the notes of the fife and d um and the
brass bands. After dinne the young
fellows took their best gi is out for a
row on the lake or for a sal on the ex-
cursion steamer whieh wa in harbor,
or walked around and view d the sights
until the procession shoalbe formed.
Shortly after one o'clock he various
lodges and bands were arra iged in line,
marched through the princ pal streets,
and then to the park on the bank of the
lake, where the programme of speeches
was to be carried out. Xi e could net
say how long the processi n was, but
there were between 45 and 0 lodges of
Orangemen and Young Brit ins, and six
brass bands present, and iearly every
lodge had a fife and drum ba d. The din,
and the confusion of waving anners and
colored sashes and scarfs &fl4 red jackets
and white shirts can only b imagined.
When the procession had all passed into
the park and things had b come quiet,
Mr. Floody, the County aster, rose
and opened with a few re arks. He
then called upon •
MAYOR SEAGER;Of Goderich. Mayor
Seager, in behalf of the peoele of Gode-
rich, welcomed the Orang men to the
town, invited them to co4ie again on
some future 12th Of July, 4nd compli-
mented them on the noble rinciples of
their Order.
Mn. .W. W. FITZGERA D, Provin-
cial Grand Master of Western On-
tario, was next called upon, and ex-
pressed his pleasure at meeting so many,
of his brethren gathered together to
celebrate the 12th of Jul . He said
that some people condemne the Orange
association on account of t eir secrets,
but secrets were necessary; every com-
munity, every family, has its secrets,
and the secrets of the Or nge Order
are for the purposed of friendship ;
some people also condemne Orangemen
on account of their, politics but every
man has a right to use his franchise as
he thinks proper, and no than in the
Orange Lodge is forced to v te against
his principles, for the first rinciple of
Orangeism is freedom to al men. He
invited all present to the c ebration at
London next year, and saia hat as Lon-
don was the real centre of 11 Western
Ontario, he hoped to see t e grandest
gathering of Orangemen th t had ever
taken place. The next spea er was
DR. ORONHYATEKHA, Of London,
who stated that he wouh1 not take
up much time, as Mr. Vhite, the
recognized orator of the Order, was
to follow. The reasons why he was gen-
erally called upon to speak were that as

recovery is very doubtful.

A SUMMER RESORT.—Our pleasant
little village is rapidly becoming a most
popular summer resort for parties from
the larger towns and cities, who wish to
secure a resting place for themselves and
a quiet, comfortable resort for their
families. Swartz's hotel, as well as the
Commercial, are ram well filled with
guests, and among them are several
families from the other side. Besides
these, scarcely a day passes that picnic
and private parties do not pay us a visit.
Let them come, a more beautiful or
pleasant spot this hot weather can not
easily be found.

TEACHERS ENGAGED.—The trustees of
School Section No. 1, Stanley, have re-
engaged. their present teacher, Mr. John
Brown, for next year, and have increased
his salary to $400. Mr. Brown is now
in his second year in this school, and hs
proven himself a pains -taking and com-
petent teacher, and the trustees have
acted wisely in thus tangibly recognizing
his faithful services. The trustees of
the Hay school, also near this place,
have engaged a brother of Mr. Brown's
to te ch in their school next year.

other of those brave pioneers who have
helped to make Canada what it is, has
passed to his long home. We refet to
Mr. Malcolm Taylor, of the 12th con-
cession of Hallett, who died on Thurs-
day of last week at the ripe age of 94
years. Mr. Taylor was a native of Ar-
gyleehire, Scotland, and came to this
country and settled in the township of
Darlington in the year 1831. He re-
moved to Hallett in 1871 and settled on
the farm on which he resided until his
death. He had always been of a strong
and robust constitution and his death
was due to no particular disease but
simply to a gradual wearing out of the
system. He had eight sons and one
daughter, all of whom are living. Dr.
Taylor, of Goderich, is one of his ons.
He was a man of sterling integrity and
was highly esteemed by those who new
him best. -
PAINFUL ACCIDENTS. -0u Thursday
evening last the young son of Mr. Hiram
Fisher, of the 8th concession, met with
a very severe accident. The lad is about
12 yeers of age, and some men were en-
gaged inputting up in the barn a hay
fork, and the boy was with them on a
platform in the ridge of the roof in the
,inside. In some way or other he slipped
and fell to the floor 'below lighting cm
some poles. The poor little fellow had
his arm broken between the elbow and
the shoulder, and the leg fractured near
the hip joint. The injured limbs were
successfully set, and although he still
suffers great pain he is doing as well as
could be expected. --A son of Mr.
Andrew Hendry, about 14 years of age,
alsometwith a severe accident a few
days ago. He was visiting his uncle, Mr.
Robert Hendry, and was standing look-
ing at some men who were engaged in
moving a barn when the building swung
around striking him on the arm and
breaking it.AR
A LGE BARN.—Mr. Richard Ander-
son, of the 8th concession, raised a very
large bank barn last week. It is 76 by
54 feet, has splendid stone stabling un-
derneath, and when completed will have
in it every modern improvement for
convenience and labor-saving. At the
raising, sides were chosen by Alex. Rap-
son and Abraham Wyatt. The timbers
were very freavy, and the building was
so large the skill and endurance of the
men were tried to the utmost. The
finish was very close, but Mr. Rapson's
side was a little ahead. At the con-
clusidn of the work the men sat down to
an excellent supper prepared by Mrs.
Anderson and her assistants, and it is
needless to say they appreciated it after
their afternoon's hard work. The stone
work was built by Mr. Becher, and Mr.
Riley has the contract for the wood
work. When completed Mr. Anderson
will -have one of the best barns in the
township.

THAT BASE BALL MATCH.—MR. EDI-
TOR,—Will you. allow me a little space
in yourcolumns to correct •an article
which appeared in your issue of last
week, and which had reference to the
base ball match which was to take place
at the Sunshine picnic between the fifth
and 6th lines of Morris. When the first
match was played on the 24th of May,
the Fifth Liners wanted to make ar-
rangements for a return match in a
couple of weeks, but their rivals would
not consent to play for the simple reason
that they were afraid, at least some of
themselves acknowledged that they
were, until some of the 5th line boys
had gone away, and the team was broken
up altogether, their worthy opponents
then began to urge the return match for
the 1st a July. But if it -is a match
they want they can have it at any time
with a team which has recently been
organized in 13elgrave, and in which
some are interested who formerly be-
longed to the 5th line team.—A FIFTH

BASE BALL.—The base bail match
between the Mythcluliry for tre latter,
and th country
boys, resulted in a vict
although they had ha , very little prac-
tice, and that after seven o'clock in the
evening. The way it commenced was
by the Blyth club challeeging the coun-
try boys with the expression that they
could lick any nine :in Wawanosh or
Morris, but when they came put they
found they were slightly mistaken. One
would have thought from theirboasting
that Blyth could havegiven Detroit or
Newark a rub, but the result showed
that they were not quite so slick as they
thought, for they were outp eyed at
the ball was really arreusing. We hope

every point, and the Way the7 muffed
the country boys will do as well when
they play the return match in Myth.—
