DISTRICT MATTERS.
READ THIS !
In the first week of September a YEW
wont of thrilling interest will be corn -
naerteed in THE EXPOSITOR, and. will con-
tinue for probably three months: it is
entitled "Across Her Path," by Annie
-S. San, author of "Alciersyde," "Car -
lovvrie," and other works. It is one of
the most interesting and best written
rtories that has ever appeared in THE
EXPOSITOR.
As a trial trip we will give THE Ex-
nosinon to new subscribers from the first
of September to the end of the year for
the very low price of 25 cents, payable
in advance. The story alone is worth
nirore than. this. We could not make
this liberal offer did we not know
from. past experience that very few
of those who put their names on
our lists ever care to take them.off again,
and we hope to secure a large numbe r
of new and, permanent subscribers, and
we make the offer at the present time so
that all can have the benefit of the new
story.
We do not often ask -a, favor of our
friends and patrons, but if every sub -
scriber of Trie-Exeoerno-n would kindly
take so mueh interest in the welfare o f
their old and favorite weekly visitor as
to show this notice to a friend or neigh -
bor who does not now take it and in -
duce him to become a subscriber, ou r
already large list would be doubled by
the first of next month. Try what you.
can do and give us ONE areir. Your
friend would receive double value for his
money, and you will, yourself, have the
consciousness of knowing you have done
a good act.
PAINFUL ACOIDENT.—Mr. John Dick -
8011, son of Mr. Chas. Dickson, of Mc-
Killop, who lives near Winnipeg, nit
wieh a very serious accident a short
time ago. He was lathing in a new
building when a splinter broke off the
wood, striking him in the eye causing
such in;uries that the eye had to be en-
tirely removed. • The delicate operation
was sueeessfelly performed in the Win-
nipeg hespital, and at last accounts Mr.
Dickson had sufficiently recovered to
be able to resume his ordinary duties,
a.ncl the -other eye is not at all affected.
'HARD ')N THE HORsEs.—During the

horses that have been seriously injured.

his, Mr. Carnochan's, own crop, but had
also done a good deal for neighbors.
This is the first of these machines that
has been used in this vicinity, and Mr.
Carnochan is delighted with it. It is
simple of construction, easily manipu-
lated, and does its work well in all
kinds of grain, and has worked for days,
never missing as much as the tying of
one sheaf. This firm, before removing
to Woodstock, had a splendid reputa-
tion in this county for their mowers and
reapers, and judging from this machine
their binders manufactured in their new
establishment bid fair to become equally
serviceable. We anticipate that Mr.
Wilson, if he retains his agency, will do
a large business next season.

KIND WORDS FOR AN OLD SEAFORTIL-
ITE.—The Stratford Daily Beacon of
Tuesday last says: We understand Mr.
John Payne will this week hand the
Royal hotel over to anew landlord. Mr.
Payne's retirement from the business of
hotel -keeping will be a decided loss to
the trade. Under him the Royal has
been a model hotel in every respect.
The table has always been supplied with
the choicest of everything, and the best
of order has been maintained in the
house. As a citizen, Mr. Payne has
always taken an intelligent and active
interest in everypublic movement, and
it is to be hoped that, although retiring
from his present business, he will remain
in the classic city. He is a citizen whom
we can ill afford to lose. His successor
is Mr. McGolrick, recently of Chatham,
who has the reputation of knowing how
to run a hotel successfully.
WEDIHEG BELLS. —On Tuesday 1 st,
Thornton Hall, the residence of r.
Alex. Davidson, was the scene of a q iet

this week taking part in the races there.
A good share of the prize money should
come to Seaforth this time.—Mrs. W.
M. Akins and Mrs. E. M. Caton, who
have been here visiting friends for some
weeks left town on Wednesday, the
former for her home in Atlanta, Georgia,
and the latter- for Toronto.—We are
sorry to learn that Mr. J. E. Kent, who
has been a useful resident in town for
several years, intends removing to
Toronto about the 1st of September.—
Mr. C. W. Papst has got back to busi-
ness again but still requires the aid of a
couple of canes to get around.—Mr. and
Mrs. Holmested returned from their trip
to Sault Ste. Marie on Monday. They
came home by way of the South Shore

and arrangements are being made for
cheap excursions to Toronto, London,
Buffalo, Detroit, Goderich, and other

Wednesday next, 10th inst., on the Sea -
forth Recreation Grounds. This prom-
ises to be a very exciting game as the
London team is a good one. The ball
will be laced at 2 p. m. sharp.
We hope to see a large turnout
on this occasion as a close and ex-
citing game may be expected.—We
have been shown a group photograph
nf the Duncan-Mackid-Hastings camp-
ing party at Grand Bend, taken by a
Parkhill artiet. The entire party are
standing in front of their tent, and pre-
sent a unique and pleasant group, in
which the various figures are admirably
set out. Judging from the photograph
the place occupied as a camping ground
was a splendid spot. In the group we
noticed the genial countenance of Rev.
Father Kealy, of Drysdale, who was -a
guest of the party for some days.—
Mrs. T. Hunter, of Bath, England, sis-
ter of Mrs. Jas. McMichael, of this
-town, and her son, who have been visit-
ing here for some weeks, took their de-
parture last week, and will be on the
ocean on their return trip by this time.
Mrs. Hunter was much pleased with the
Canadian people as well as with what
she saw of the country.
•
Tuckersmith.
FLWHEAT.—Mr. George Sproat, of
Tuckersmith, informs us that he has done
one days' threshing on fall wheat of this
season's growth. His wheat will average
about twenty bushels per acre and he
considers his crop as good as the general
tall wheat crop in this vicinity this
season. The grain is of fairly good
quality. The varieties threshed were
the Democrat and Star, the latter being
the best both as regards sample and
yield. This is a low yield for fall wheat,
but from all we can learn, taking the
County as a whole, there will be more
under than there will be over this yield.
The early oats are very good but the
late sown are ripening too fast and will
be light Root crops also, are suffering
a goodrdeal from the warm dry weather.
SUCCESSFUL StEUDEN TS.—The following
is a list of those from this County who
have passed their matriculation exam-
ination and havebecome undergraduates
of Toronto University: Wm. M. -Gav-
enlock, George Hammill, James L.
Killoran, and sellan S. McLean, Sea -
forth.; J. M. Godfrey, J. Landsborough,
G. McKenzie, J. W. Treleaven., and A.
W. Williams, Clinton ; G. Fowler, and
R. .S. Robertson, Goderich. There
were only four from the Seafortli High
School who wrote and all of these pass-
ed -successfully, Messrs, Govenlock and
Hammill taking -honors in mathematics.
Miss Dora Wilson, also a graduate of the
Seaforth High :Cchool, passed success-
. fully in Latin and French and took
second class honors in English. Of -the
number who presented themselves for
admission fifty-one failed to pass the re-
quired standard, while a class of about
two hundred passed successfully, of
whom twenty-eight are ladies.
FAT SITS.—]in the annual report of
the .Inspector of .Legal Offices for the
year 1886 we find a table showing the
incomes derived by the various •county
officers in the Erovince, who are ap-
pointed by and responsible to the Pro-
vincial Government. It may be inter-
esting to our readers to know what these
offisfers receive in the counties of Huron,
Perth and Bruce. The return is for the
year ending December, 1885. In Hurou;
Sheriff Gibbons received $2,400.20;
Judge Toms, as Surrogate Judge,
$4,71.05 ; H. 1VIckerrnott and S. Mal-
colrnson, Local Masters and Deputy
Registrars, $2,5.001; Ira Lewis, County
Attorney and Clerk of the Peace,
$1;024:40 ; D. McDonald, County Court
%Clerk, &c., $2,724.41. in additien to
ain, , the figures given above* the Judge re-
par- eaive8 his regular salary as County

dish ceive as follows: _Sheriff Hossie, VAN.-

Judgee$408; Local Master in Chancery,
Mi8.-50; County Attorney, $1,648.89:;
County Court Clerk, $1,471.50. We
may here state that :all these officers
are ;paid by fees, and the amounts named
are the amounts that the officials enjoy
for their services over .and above office
disbursements. The largest haul made
by any,offi.cer in the Province that year
was in ,the county -of 'York, when the.
late Sheriff Jarvis received the snug sum
of 419;8.76:95. The average salary for
_this office is about .$2,000 clear of all

opeifations for this year on Saturday
last the 30th ult. This is early even for
this year. Mr. Chambers had about 40
acr s of crop and it will give a fair yield.
Grey.
FLAX.—Flax-pulling is in order dur-
ing the past two weeks. Quite a large
area being sovna it is becoming an im-
portant industry. The crop of flax is
good this year.
GOOD STUFF.,—Dan Robertson says he
has a combined Champion machine
which he has used for the last ten years
without costing him five dollars for re-
pairs. This machine has mowed and
reaped the crops on two hundred acres.
This is the stuff we want in Huron.
EGGS. —The egg trade receives a good
deal of attention thisyear, and we would
like to see the price run up to about
twenty cents per dozen. A number of
people think that D. D. Wilson, the
vetern egg -king of Ontario, rules the
market, but such is not the case. We
believe that the New York and Montreal
markets rule the price.
PROLIFIC PEAS.—Mr. James Cum-
ming, of the 7th concession of Tucker -
smith, while attending the Western Fair
at London,la.st fall purchased from Mr.
Morden, of London, about half a pound
of peas, known as the "Mummey"
variety, He sowed them this spring
and they have proved to be wonderfully
prolific. From the half pound of seed
he will reap fully a bushel of peas. As
the product of one pea he has five stalks
on which are 49 pods. The peas are
white, of medium size, thin skinned, and
nice and clean, and seem to be well
adapted to the soil of this section.
rHE SCHOOL BOARD.—At a meetingof
the Public School Board held at
Egmondville on Saturday last the
treasurer was authorised to apply to the
township council for the sum of $3,300
-to be raised by rate for school purposes.
The secretary was also authorised to call
.for tenders for fencing, draining and -
building privies at the two new school
houses now in course of erection. The
next meeting of the Board will be at the
Egmondville school house on Saturday,
.3rd September, at 2 o'clock p. m., when
the teachers will be hired for the corning
year and other business will be trans-
. acted.

frame work by Mr. Patrick Keating, of

those who were engaged in its erection.

large number of his friends at a dancing
party. About 300 persons were pres-
ent and a most enjoyable evening was

Seaforth. The Seaforth " Invincibles "
are gentlemen and onorable men to play
with and all our boys have to say is that
they were beatten , y better men. The
Seaforth boys are now the champion

London easily, therefore it follows that
Seaforth can easily beat London or,

dominal tumor. , Having consulted, how-
ever, her old family physician, Dr. Mc-
