DISTRICT MATTERS.
READ THIS!
In the ftost week of September a NEW
'STORY of thrilling interest will be com:
menced in THE EXPOSITOR, and will con-
tinue for probably three months. It is
entitled "Across Her Path," by Annie
S. Swan, author of "Aldersyde," "Car -
lowrie," and other works. It is one of
the most interesting and best written
stories that has ever appeared in THE
RxPeSITOR.
As a trial trip we will give THE -
POSITOR 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
more 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, offagain
and. we hope to secure a large number
of new and permanent subscribers, and
we make the offer at the present time so
hat 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 THE EXPOSITOR would kindly
take so much interest in the welfare of
their old and favorite weekly visitor as
to show this notice. to a frienchor neigh-
bor who cloes not now take it and in-
duce him to become a subscriber, our
already large list would be doubled by
the first of next month. Try what you
can do and give us ONE LIFT. Your
friend would receive double value for his
stoney, and you will, yourself, have the
consciousness of knowing you have done
a good act.
North to the Huron Road and then
West to the Royal Hotel Where it hacl-
started. On reaching the Royal it took
to the sidewalk and was caught. All
this time the ladies had ilituck to the
buggy although the lines were dragging
on the ground. = How the beast managed
to turn all the corners without upsetting
the buggy or dislodgingits occupants is
a- mystery to every one. Fortu.nately
no serious injury was done, although tbe
the young ladies were very badly frigh-
tened, as they had good reason to be.

A NARROW EsCAPE.—A mem named -
Arthur Wyatt, while digging in a well
which Messrs. Sherill Brothers were
sinking he the new school grounds at
Hannah's Corners in Tuckersrnith, came
very near being suffocated by foul air on
Saturday last. He had reached a depth
of about fifty feet and felt the effects of
the bad air just as the bucket was being
raised. He called to the men above to
lower it a.gairt. This they at once did`
ancl he got he and was drawn up, but
just as he got to the top he swooned and
had to be assisted out. It was some
time before he resumed consciousness.
He was just got out in the nick of -time
as a few moments delay might have been
fatal. Ile is nearly all right again.
A Tows MAP.—Mr. Geo.; Anderson
has just completeci a very neatly and
accurately executed drawing or plan of
the, town of Seaforth, togetherwith a
map of the same. This will be litho-
graphed and tnourated and will be offer-
ed for sale. This plan will= contain a
representation of every houtte in town
properly located. and besides a directory
of every householder, so that a person
can tell at a glance just whene any par-
ticular citizen resides, and how to, get
right to the place. The business places
will be similarly indicated. Mr. Ander-
son has got this up for Mr. J.I C. Young,
of Toronto, the publisher. He has done
Ms work in a most skilful Manner, and
the map when completed wi1l. fill a long
felt want, and if reasonable in price will
find a place in miny households.

residenee of Mr. S. G. McCaughey, in
the absence of the family, on Tuesday
night last, and demolished several pots
of canned fruit, ransacked a number pf
drawers, but apparently did not do any
further damage. They got in through a
cellar window and lett by the front
door which they left open. They seem-
ed to be after money and grub; they got
some of the latter but none of the form-

Egmond have erected, under the trees
in front of their factory, a tank which is

the Messrs. VanEgmond in this matter.
—Master Herbert Willson, of Toronto,
nephew of Mr. 0. C. Willson and Mrs.
James Scott, is in town. Master Will-
son is Editor in Chief of the Toronto

Mrs. Robinson. Mr. Broadfoot has
been in Kansas six years, and he says he
has never regretted making the change.
He has 420 acres of land, which has
doubled in value since he got it. He
says the chinch bug has destroyed. the
wheat in Kansas, and the corn has been
injured by the dry weather this season.—
Mr. John Hawthorne, son of Mr. Robt.
Hawthorne, of Hullett, who left here
for the gold regions in California about
forty years ago returned to town on
Wednesday. He has only been home
once in that time. He could, no doubt,
give some queer experiences if he liked.
—On Wednesday afternoon as Mr.
Findlay Ross, of McKillop, was going
up to his horse with a pail of water in
the Queen's Hotel stable the animal
kicked him on the side • knocking him

home in about an hour after the accident,
and we hope no serious results will ensue.

THE CIVIC HOLIDAY. —In 'compliance
with a numerously signedIrequisition
the Mayor has proclaimed Ftiday next,
the 19th inst., a public holiday for the
town of Seaforth, and consequently all
business places will be closed on that
day. It would be well, therefore, for
those who are in the habit of trading
here to bear this in mind and come to
town on Saturday instead of Friday.
We understand that Mr. Bethune, the
obliging agent of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way hereohas succeeded in making satis-
factory arrangements for reduced rail-
way fares for various points , of interest
on that day. If the present; dry, warm
weather continues the lake shore, either

took place on Saturday, and the great
respect in which the deceased was held

respect to hie memory.

A CuRrolis MISTAKE.—On Saturday
afternoon a sensation was caused in our
burg when it was -rumored that the des-
perado, Tom Little, had been in our
midst and had gone through on his way
northward. Constable Davis having got
wind of it determined to follow him up
and arrest him dead or alive. Having
armed himself for the occasion he made
puesuit after him meeting him on the
concession leading to the McGowan set-
tlement, coming toivards the gravel,
where he arrested him without any
trouble and elanded him safely in the
cooler. At a late Inner on Saturday
night groups of Men might be seen dis-
cussing as to whether he was the desper-
ado or not, and if he was how came he
to be captured so easily. The man gave
his name as Frank McCallum. He had
been working at harvesting up north and
evidently had got too much wealth, came
into town and got too much Scott Ac
into him, which made him do a consider
able amount of blowing which cause
some of our -citizens to have their sus
picions that he was the noted desperado.
He was released from his imprisonment
on Monday morning as there was nobody
to prove that he was the man he was
supposed to be. It is only a short time
ago that the same individual was arrest-
ed at Ethel under the same suspicion,
but had to be released.
