— DISTRICT MATTERS.
No FROST I ATFOMA.—Mr, Joseph
Gillespie,of Strongville, Michigan,writes
us are follows: noticed a staternent in
your paper recently made on the author-
ity of Mr. James hIeDowell,to the effect
that there had been a heavy frost at the
Sault, and the crops thereabout are very
poor. Now, I wish to correct these
statements. In the first plane there has
—not been one night's frost there this
summer, and in reference to the crops
looking poor, that statement is, equally
incorrect, as'.I never saw the otops look-
ing better in Huron county thao they do
in the upper Peninsula of Michigan this
t summer." We have also had several
letters from friends in Algorna, all of
which agree in saying that there has not
been frost sinee early springeand that
crops of all kinds throughout the entire
Algoma district promise a large yield.
•
CATTLL SHIPMENTS. —A large number
of excellent beef cattle haveebeen ship -
•ped from Seaforth station tell the old
country- markets this season. The prin-
cipal shippers were Messrs. Goy-enloek
and Winters. Lately, howevet, prices
have gone down so much that dre regu-
lar dealers did not feel disposed to give
the prices demanded by thoire having
cattle cm band, and several large feeders
have tried the experiment of shipping on
their own account. On Satutday last
nine carloads were shtpped from this
station, and on Tuesday these - were fol-
lowed by three cars more. Of these the
Messrs. Case shipped 40 head Mr.
Govenlock,20 head; Mr. Jno.
114 head, and Mr.Chas. Wilson 60 head.
They were a very fine lot of eattle, and
we hope all of them will reach their
destinations in safety, and yield their
owners a large profit.
JUVENILE CONCERT.—The results of
Messrs. Gofoeth and MdKenzie's miss-
ionary addresses some weeks ago in the
Presbyterian Church here have not yet
ceased to manifest themselves. A num-
ber of the young people were incited
thereby to make an effort to do some-
thing for the—great object these gentle-
men, so ably advocated. Aceordingly,
on Fridans, the 15th inst., a coneert which
originated and was carried out entirely
by young people under fifteen, years of
age, was given in the Presbyterian :Manse
before an interested and appreeiative au-
dience. The programme consisted of
solos, duetts, choruses, readings, and
tableaux, and was rendered by the juve-
nile performers in as manner' that would
have been creditable to adults. A brief
address was delivered by the Rev. A. D.
McDonald, who had just reterned from
Ms Northwest trip. The financial results
were very- satisfactory, the sum of $8.42
having been forwarded to the Treasurer
of the Church to be applies1 to Foreign
Missions.

HELP ON THE GOOD WoRa.—Rev.
A. D. McDonald, of this town, has c isease, but simply to a gradual wearing

OUR LACROSSE CLUB.—The Seaforth
acrosse Club are earning for themselves
a good record this season. Thus far
t rey have played three rnatchesi for the
estern Ontario Championship, and
h ve won each match with considerable
os ds in their favor. On Tuesday last
t ey played their second -match with
t e Goderich club, and vanquished theta
• four straight games, the time being
9 7, 14 and 16 minutes—respectively.
'his match closes the contest with
°clench, and they have yet to play two
_etches with Stratford and one with
=don before they can claim the charn-
sonship. They have already taken one
atch with London, and as Goderieh
as beaten Stratford, it is reasonable to
ppose Seaforth will make way with
em too.

early 81 years. He was a remarkably

in theSabbath e.ehools in Manitoba. In
this letter Mr. Rowand asks that the
favor be repeated. He says: "1 hope
you will still have _regard to Our needs.
We find it difficult to obtain tthe neces-
sary books for our schools. Many of

our people are Huron people and not a
few of them are from the immediate
vicinity of Seaforth and Clinton. We
hope then you will follow theta up with
your interest and sympathy as they en-

but there are many Sabbath 'Schools as
well as private individuals in this County
—that have in their libraries members of
.books that have been read and re -read
so often that they have become practic-
ally valueless. All these Woks would
be of interest and service in_the schools
of the Northwest, where reading matter
he not enly scarce but the pedple are not
in so good a position to furnisheeit for

ing these books, great aid would be af-
forded to Sabbath SchOol work in the
newer districts of Manitoba, as there
are few aids that serve a better purpose
in interesting and instructing the chil-
dren than good books. Any whe may

when was a swell boy of his coming
to my father's heuse with ell his posse

was a great walker. It wasa ceramon
thing for him to walk from his home to
the place where he iutended avorking, a
'distance of eight or ten mike, in a win-
ter monsing, erriving there at daylight,
and leaving again at eight o'clock at
night andhvalhing home_ He was a man
of very quick temper reed neit particular
what he did when excited. The custom
was for the tailors to sit en the top of a
table with their legs crossed. One day
in my father's houee one of his appren-
tices displeased him, and GeOrdie struck
the lad on the head with the lap -board.
The boy hada-very thick head of hair,
and when he receiv.ed the Islow he re-
plied to the master, "Man, I never felt
that." With that Geordie ;pulled him
off the table on to the floor, and holding
him like a sheep clipped his head as bare

DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.—A couple
of weeks ago we noticed the sad acci-
dent which befel Mr. Wm. O'Rourke, of
the 6th concession of McKillop, at the
barn raising of Mr. Hugh Dunn. As
was expected, Mr. O'Rourke did not
long survive his injuries. He passed
peacefully away on the morning of the
14th inst. Mr. O'Rourke was a native
of the county of Galway, Ireland, and
came to this -country in 1851. After
working in or near Paris, in the county
of Brant, he came to the township of
McKillop, of which he has been a re-
spected resident for over 30 years. He
took up the farm on which he continued
to live until his death, and from a dense
forest he by perseverance and industry
converted it into a comfortable and val-
uable homestead for himself and family.
He was just 54 years of age, and but for
this melancholy accident might have
lived for years to enjoy in comfort the
fruits of his early labors. He was a
genial, warm-hearted man, and was
alike respected and beloved by all who
knew him. He leaves a widow and fam-
ily of eight children to mourn his sad
and untimely demise.

manifested a desire to show their respect
for the deceased, by contributing to this
fund, and in order to give all an oppor-

procured, the more creditable the monu-
ment will be, it was decided to wait un-
til the first of September before taking
further definite action in the matter. In
the meantime, therefore, those who have
not yet given in their names, but who
desire to do so, would further the object
in view by calling on either of the fol-
lowing gentlemen and making their in-
tentions known between this and the
first of September, viz.: Wm. McMil-

FOR THE BENEFIT OF BERRY -PICKERS.
—DEAR EXPOSITOR.— Now that the
:berry -picking season is drawing to a
'close, with your permission I will make
a few remarks about the pickers. Gen-
erally speaking they are a passable lot,
but some of them seem to think that as
no one interferes with them they have a
roaming commission to trespass upon
private property without let or hinder-
ance, level fences, drive their horses in-
to the fields, kindle fires to make tea in
the vicinity of hay stacks, and wash
their dirty linen in the watering troughs
to the evident disgust of the cattle,steal
hams and so on. For further particu-
lars apply to Joree SrRoAT.
Kippen.
BRIEFS.—The wheat and barley har-
vest is now finished, and the farmers are
in the throes of peas and oats.—Mr. Jas.
Cooper raised one of the largest barns in
this part of the country last week. The
frame work was done by Mr. Jas. Work-
man who is an efficient mechanic.—Mr.
Thos. McGregor, accompanied by his
neice, Miss Grace McGregor, is visiting
friends in Manitoba and the Western
States.—A gentleman who was at one
time a prosperous farmer on the 8th can -
cession of Tuckersmith, has opened out
an extensive tailor shop in Toronto, and
he is now doing a very commendable
action by sending his remnants and cut-
tings to aid a poor familyin the neighbor-
hood.—A large number of the young
people of this vicinity assembled at the
residence of Mr. Jas. Paterson, London
Road, last Friday evening, for the pur-
pose of having a good time, and judging
from the manner in which the large barn
floor was kept crowded by dashing
ewains and blooming maidens in the
i-nazy whirl, their expectations were
More than realized.
HORSE MORTALITY. —On Sunday morn-
ing last a breeding mare belonging to
Mr. Geo. Walker, of the Mill road, got
upon the bridge -leading to the barn door
and in some way missed her footing and
fell over the edge to the ground, a dis-
tance of about eight feet. She was so
seriously injured as to render recovery
impossible, and had to be killed the fol-
lowing day.—Mr. Henry Mason, of the
4th concession, L. R. S., also met with
a heavy loss on Sunday last. One of a
span of working horses broke Out of the
field into that of a neighbor, Mr. Gor-
don, where were some other horses.
One of .these horses kicked him on the
leg, shattering the bone so badly as to
render the animal useless, and it had to
be killed.—Some time ago a horse be-
longing to Mr. Alex. Grey, of the Mill
road, had a stick of some kind run into
its head, making a hole several inches
in length. Mr. Grey did not notice the
wound for some time, until the animal
became so bad that it was considered that
the easiest way to effect a cure was to
kill it. It was an old beast he bought
to assist with the spring work, so the
loss is not a very heavy one.

School Section No. 14, Stanley, have re-

teacher.
THE CROes.—Messrs. Harvey and
Wyley have arrived from Michigan, and
have started out for another season's
threshing.—Fall wheat and barley is all
in the barns in good condition, but the

excessive heat that it will not be a very
good sample.

coming home the other day with a load
of lumber, he met with a serious mis-
hap on Mr. Fisher's sideroad. He wes
ascending a hill when he met a horse
and buggy. His horses became fright-
ened, and started to back the load down
the hill, and despite all his efforts the
waggon and horses went over the em-
bankment, which was about six feet
high, and one of the horses received .a
long, deep cut on the inside of the thigh
which will likely lay her up for some
time. It is all the worse, too, as she
has a foal by her side.

sprineba committee Was appointed by the
an

the purpose of taking the necessary
step to procure a suitable monument tO.
mark the resting place of their late be-
loved pastor, Rev. John Ross. This
committee met in the church last Friday
evening, and found that there had been
about $250 already subscribed. There
are, however, several others, not mem- .)

Mn. MCCARTNEY. —DEAR Si,—You
speak about the time that I. devote to
letter writing, but I am sorry to have
to write against a man as void of truth
and principle as you are. You met Mr.
Steckle and myself on the Bronson Line,
and you say I made an arrangement not
to interfere with you, but I did not, and
Mr. Steckle authorizes me to use his
name in saying., most positively, that
we made no arrangement, but I told you
that we would like to start the creamery
again ourselves, and had been talking
about the advisability of doing so, and
accordingly we erranged that I should
call on some people to see what could -be
done, but I made no promises to any.
one that we would start, but told them
that if we did not start I would let them
know, and I did so, and I let you know
plainly at, Mr. Armstrong's gate that we
did not know whether we would start or
not, and yet you have the barefaced im-
pudence to lie straight ahead knowing
all these things. You boast about get-
ting patrons from under my very nose,
but no honorable man would take all the
cream you have got, or even will get,
and lie as much as you have done about
this affair, but you will find before you
are done with your journey on earth the
way of transgressors is hard. You
-speak about me calling you hard names,
and perhaps some people may think I do
come down on lying a littletoo heavily,
but these inen are not the ones who will
be likely to raise the standard of truth,
Sunshine.
LOCAL NEws.—We are now without a
store, as Mr. Smith has removed his
goods to Brussels. It will be greatly
miseed, especially in the berry season.—

post -office. Some one will have to, al-
though no person seems to care about it
as the pay is so small.—The farmers are
busily engaged with the harvest, which
is very early this year.—Mr.John Healy,
of the 6th line of Morris, has returned
home from Michigan to help take off the
harvest.—Many will regret to hear of
the death of the 5th line base ball club,
the cause of which is not exactly known
at present, as the inquest has not yet
been held.—Mr. Hugh Hanna, of the
6th line of Morris, who was so severely
.injured by his team running [away with
the mowing machine, is, we are glad to
say recovering.--Itiis rumored that there
will be several weddings in this vicinity
this fall, but who the parties are time
will tell.

BRIEFS. —The weather continues ex-
tremely warm and dry and the crops are
ripening and coming in very fast.—The
Rev. A. McWilliams who has been in
Goderich for the past three months
assisting the Rev. Dr. Ure, preached in

Sabbath morning and evening last with
much acceptance. Service will be held

week in the village on a visit.—The
many friends of the Rev. R. Y. Thomson
and Mrs. Thomson will be pleased to
learn that they are enjoying their trip
by water to Manitoba very much, and
that they are both already feeling con-
siderably benefitted thereby. So much
so indeed that when at Port Arthur on
Friday last 'Mr. Thomson was able to
esvalk a considerable distance through
the town without being distressed by
asthma, which he could not possibly
have done for some time previous to his
departure. We sincerely trust the trip
throughout and change of air and rest
will continue to produce the good effects
thus far shown, and that the reverend
gentleman and his wife may return to
us and the Master's work in the enjoy-
ment of largely restored health and
strength.—Mrs. R. Coed has returned
from Carleton Place, where she hasi been
on a lengahened visit, accompanied by
her father end mother.

Blind line, a, few days ago sold a mare
and colt for the handsome sum of $240.
Mr. Geiger keeps good stock. Mr.
August Ehnes has also sold, his horse
Bob to Mr. Joseph Smith for $130. Mr.
Smith may congratulate himself on his
bargain.
LOCAL LOTS.—The farmers in this
vicinity will be nearly through harvest-
ing this week.—Voelker and Vidorn
passed through the village the other day
with their new thresher which they
bought in Hamilton. John says they
now have the boss machine as they
bought a new engine last year, and they
are bound to give satisfaction.—Mr. P.
Beaver also passed through here a few
days ago with his -threshing machine.—
Messrs. Alexander and Frank Bossen-
berry have bought a steam thresher, and
are already in the field. Farmers have
no need to fear that they will not get
their grain threshed.—Mr. John Wil-
liams, one of the grist mill firm, left last
Prints,
Muslins,
Hosiery,
Gloves, Parasols, &c..

goods over, so we will not be particular
about price.

SEAFORTII.
Wednesday for Stratford on some busi-
ness, but has returned,—Mrs. J. K.
Wing, who has been visiting in Sebring-
ville during the last two weeks, has re-
turned well pleased with her visit to her
old home.—Mr. Geo. Hess is making
rapid headway with the town clock for
Exeter. Mr. Hess says he could sell six
more if he had them made. It would
pay him to increase his staff of men.—
Mr. John Kolaskey is very low with
dropsy, and it is feared will not recover.
Mrs. H. S. Faust arrived last Friday
from Cairo Michigan. She intends to
stay here about two weeks visiting rela-
tives and friends.—Mr. J. Sehluchter,
merchant, of Sebewing, Michigan, was
here last week visiting his father and
other relatives. He returned borne last

is doubtful, however, whether she will
be benefitted by the change.—Messrs.
Geiger and Matter are doing an exten-
sive business, in boring wells.—The
weather is very warm and dry, and the
pastures are getting bare. The ladies
are beginning to grumble at the shortage
of milk, but the cows can't help it.
Morris.
,
TOWNSHIP DOTS.—The many friends
of Mr. P. Scott will be pleased to hear
that he is now fully recovered from his
severe illness. He should take the great-
est possible care of himself lest he have
a relapse.—The latest around Brussels
now is "Have you been on the new race
course yet ?" Mr. D. Walker's trotting
mare has already won for herself a good
record, and he is anxious to have a chal-
lenge. Who speaks first ?—The farmers
in this vicinity have finished haying,and
are getting along well with the wheat
and barley harvest. The wheat be-
speaks a very fair yield, and the sample
is good, while the barley is really a very '
fine crop.
THAT BASE BALL MATC11.—MR. EDI-
TOR,—If you will again allow me &little
space I would like to make a little ex-
planation concerning that base ball
match, and also to confirm what state-
ments I made before. The Sixth Liners
apparently cannot understand the true
' reason why the Fifth Liners would not
play on the 1st of July. The reason was
given before, but I will repeat it. Short-
ly after the match on the 24th of May,
a number of fifth line boys left and the
club was broken up. I think that 5
sufficient reason. Again, I said that
they were afraid to play, and ao they
were. I can prove that, and the sixth
line correspondent as much as admits
that when he says the challenge to play
in two weeks was not accepted. "Wig
was it not accepted ?" This speaks for
itself. Tee .` Onlooker" also fails to
pnblish the correct nature of the chal-
lenge, which was to play in two weeks
either for fun or money. lie forgot to
mention about playing for fun, or for
another day's sport, and the game that
wes played would have resulted differ-
