DISTRICT MATTERS.
GOOD TIORSES.—MT. , John Maloney,
of the 5th concession of McKillop, last
week sold a 3 -year-old gelding by "Old
Haddone" to American buyers for $250,
and another 3 -year-old by "Samson" for
$190. The Old fladdow colt weighed
1700 lbs. when brought into town. It
pays to raise horses of this kind, and the
east side of McKillop is rapidly coming
to the front as a good horse district.

SCALDED.—Ori Thursday of last—week
when Mr. George Murray was attending
the Band and Firemen's pic-nic at Bay-
field he met with a very -painful accident.
He was assisting in carrying a boiler full
of hot water up the hill at Middleton's
Grove, with which to make tea for the
party, when he slipped and fell, the
water spilling over him, scalding one of
his hands and both his feet very badly.
This effectually spoiled his fun for the
day, and after getting his wounds
dressed he started for home. He ie now
able to be around again, but is not yet
sufficiently recovered to resume work.

THE JUBILEE ADDRESS.—Our readers
will remember that the address to the
Queen, adopted eby the citizens here on
Jubilee Day, was beautifully engrossed
and transmitted to Her Majesty through
the Governor-General. The receipt of
the address was duly_ acknowledged by
His Excellency at the time, and a day
or two ago Mayor Beattie received the
following communication which speaks
for itself :

lency the Governor -Gee eral tes inform you,

RETURNED.—Mr. D. M. Radcliffe, the
general agent of the North American In •
suranee Company, returned home from
his bstsiness trip to the Northwest on
Tuesday last. Mr. Radcliffe reports
prospects ,good in Manitoba this yeer.
There is now a certainty that the largest
crop the country has produced for years
will be reaped, and this seems to make
every resident of the country hopeful,
and all are in good spirits. Mr. Rad-
cliffe was introducing his company to
the Manitobans, and instructing them
in the benefits of life insurance, and the
result of his labors prove his success.
During his short visit he procured risks
to the amount of $43,000, and he says
that many of the insurers are young
men who formerly belonged to the county
of Huron.

THE LATE DONALD MCGREGOR.—Mr.
Donald McGregor, of the 6th concession
of McKillop, whose illness we have pre-
viously announced, died on Tuesday ,
evening last after several weeks of the
keenest suffering. Mr. McGregor was
the eldest son of Archibald McGregor,
Esq., of McKillop. He was a native of
Perthshire, Scotland, and with his
father and other members of the family
came to Canade and settled in McKillop
in 1851, on the farm where the deceased
resided until his death. Mr. McGregor,
sr., is still living, and although over 90
years of age is in full possession of all
his faculties, aad goes around as blithely
as many men thirey years his junior.
Mr. McGregor wae a strong, robust man,
and young looking for his years, and
until about a year ago he seerned, to all
appearances, to be good for mily years
to come. This last spring, however,
after he had got through seeding, he
zornplahaed of indigestion and suffered a
good deal from his stomach, lent thought
it was, ,perhaps, the result of over work.
He tried several remedies'but finding
none of them doing any good he consult-
ed a doctor, and it was ultimately learn-
ed that his trouble was a cancerous
growth just below the stomach. From
the first no hopes for his recovery were
entertained, and had he not been a man
of powerful constitution he would not
have survived as long as he did. Al-
though quiet and unassuming, he was a
man of much more than ordinary intel-
ligence, and it was only those intimately
acquainted with him who really appre-
ciated his worth. He was kind hearted
and obliging, and was thoroughly re-
spected by all who knew him. He had
a strong sense of honor, and was one
of these men of whom it might truth•
fully . be said, "his word was as
good as his bond," and we venture
to say that there were none; who knew
him but would have taken his word
for anything just as quickly as his
bond. He was well known in the town-
ship, having filled the position of Asses-
sor for P or 13 years, and in this as
in every other duty in life, he
work with the most conscienti
scrupulous care, and 4s a result

HIGH SCHOOL APPOINTMENT.—At the
meeting of the High School Board on
Monday night a number of applications
for the classical mastership were con-
sidered. Mr. A. Carruthers, B. A. was
unanimously appointed at a salary of
$1,000, and his testimonials seem to
'indicate that a stronger man for his
special department could hardly have
been selected. Hecarried off a classical
scholarehip at every examination and
was never second duringsthe last three
years of his course. He graduated ha
1880 and was awarded the gold medal
in classics. During the. next two
• years he was classical master in the
Lindsay High School, and was then
appointed examiner in classics for two
years at Toronto University and Upper
Canada College. Mr. Carruthers has
devoted considerable attention to Eng-
lish and history, and has a practical
acquaintance with military drill. There
cannot be any reasonable doubt that the
Trustees have secured the services of one
of the best scholars in the Province.
PASsED AWAY.—When we announced
the illness of Mr. John Hugill last week -
we dicl not expect to be called upon so
soon to announce his death. He passed
pea,cefally away en Thursday night.
Mr. Hugillairas a native of Yorkshire,
England. He came to this country in
1842 a*:1 settled on Dundee; street, near
Toronto, where he remained until 1853,
when he removed to the Huron Tract
and settled onthe Huron Road in the
township of Tuckersruith, about four
miles west of Seaforth. He continued
to reside there until about twe years
ago when he purchased a residence in
this town, retired from farming and
came here to reside. He was a strong,
active, robust man and until a few
months ago scarcely ever knew what it
was to be a day sick. He was complain-
ing nearly all winter, but was not
sufficiently ill to consult a physician un-
til three weeks ago. From the first,
owing to the nature of his disease, little
hopes were entertained for his recovery,
but none thought he would go so soon.
Ile was married when residing near Toe
ronto and his partner in life still sur-
vives him. He had a family of four
sons and, three daughters. Three of the
Sons and one daughter reside in Cali-
fareia. The remaining son and one
daughter live on the old homestead, and
the third daughter is Mrs. Wilson
Cook, of Varna. Mr. Hugill, by his
industry and good management succeed-
ed in making a competency and leaves
his, family all well provided for. He

DOTS.—Our teacher is spending a part

The new school house is nearly complet-
ed. Cooper & Swaffield have the con-
tract, and they say it will be ready in
time for the school. It makes a good
improvement to the appearance of our
village.
TIIAT BRIDGE.—Your representative
had occasion to cross the new bridge a
few days ago, and found a part of it
blocked up with cross pieces. Now the
water is as low as it is likely to get this
summer, and the chances are that there
will be no better time to attend to it
than now. We noticed that one of the
piers has nearly drifted away, and had it
been filled with stone instead of only
half filled the chances are that it would
have remained all right. Why not fill
them all up with stone? The new road
has been opened and a good job has been
done turnpiking it, all that portion re-
quires now is la coat of gravel and it will
be equal to anly road in the county.

Stanley.
A Loss.—Robt.-Boice, of the 2nd con-
cession of Stanley, had the misfortune
to lose a fine three year old filly the
week before last. She had broken into
a field of green oats and ate of the
grain, which caused purging and gas on
the stomach, resulting in her death. She
was valued at $200, which is a heavy
loss to Mr. Boice these hard times.
COMMENCED OPERATIOS.—The sound
of the whistle announces the arrival in
our midst of Messrs. Harvey and Wiley
with their genial smiles and affable man-
ners, and that the threshing season has
fairly commenced on the Parr Line. It
is a good recommendation for Mr. Chas.
Stelck that he has been engaged for the
third season to take charge of the engine,
and, with Charley at the helm, the firm
is doing as good work as ever and enjoy
the fullest confidence of the farmers in
this vicinity.
COUNCIL DOINGS.—At the last meet-
ing of the Council the following bills
were .ordered to be paid: Messrs. Gar -
row,& Proudfoot $18; F. G. Neelin,$20
for printing township by-laws; School
Sections Nos. 1, 4, 5, and 14, $4 each
for use of schools at last local election;
Alex, McBeth, $289 for building bridge
on the Parr Line; Donald McNair was
granted $5 as charity, be being in in-
digent circumstances. The clerk was
authorized to draft a by-law to raise a
rate of two mills on the dollar for
County purposes, and a rate of one and
a half mills on the dollar for local and
railway purposes, also a by-law to raise
the sums required by the several School
Section Corporations. The Council then
adjourned to meet again on October 1st
next at 1 o'clock p. m.

Walton.
FIRE.—The mammoth saw mill here
owned by Messrs. Chas. & Lewis Mc-
Donald, was entirely consumed by fire
early Thursday morning. By the
prompt'and untiring energy of our citi-
zens most of the lumber was saved.
Frail Women and sickly men could be
seen carrying water in pails to head off
the fiery tongue which threatened at one
tithe to devour the entire village. We
understand the mill was well insured,
and trust the Messrs. McDonald will not
suetain any serious loss.
OUR- TOWN.—As our pleasant little
village is not often represented in your
valuable journal, I deem it my duty to
give your readers an idea of the place
with such other items as may be interest-
ing. Walton is situated in the midst of
a rich agricultural country, ten miles
north of Seaforth. There have been
many different reports as to its popu-
lation. We think the village contains
about 2,296 souls, including everything
that contains the breath of life; such as
people, frogs, hens, snakes, horses, etc.
We have in our midst saints and sinners,
Presbyterians and Hard Shell Baptists,
bald headed bachelors, and a few dried
up old maids, in fact every specimen of
humanity which grows and thrives in a
country like ours. Many interesting
and mysterious events occur nearly every
week, and thus keep our numerous
gossip mongers busy in attending to
their nefarious business.—Mr. Joseph
H. Beirnes has disposed of his imported
dog "Pride of Paris." We do not
know the price obtained.—The report
that a ghost was seen near- the school
house a few evenings ago, proves to be
untrue. A sheep had strayed from its
master's fold, and had been the means of
frightening quite a few timid people.—
The evening school closed a few nights
ago, and the pupils seemed to be well
satisfied with the knowledge obtained.
—A large bear was seen in the swamp
east of here on Friday last. The swamp
between here and Monkton is a fine
hunting ground for these animals, a
number have been seen and killed the
present season.—Walton has more first
class musicians than probably any other
place of its size in the Dominion. Most
any evening, one listening can hear sweet
music at both hotels. The musicians
seem to be vieing with each other as to
which can produce the bestresults. At
the Royal Exchange Miss Susie McKim
plays the violin, while the mammoth
organ is pumped and keyed by the
charming young player Miss Hannah
Beirnes. At the Walton House, Miss
Annie Sage plays with ease' and per-
fection on the piano, while her sister

BICYCLISTS.—On Saturday e venin g
the Forest City Bicycle Club passed
through here en route for Goderich.
They are a jolly lot of fellows and we
would like them to call again.
FIREMEN'S PICNIC.—On Wednesday
August 24th., the Exeter Fire Company
intend having a grand picnic at Grand
Bend. The Exeter brass band will
furnish music for the occasion. Every-
body invited to attend.
Civic HOLIDAY. —Tuesday last was
Civic Holiday in this place. At 7
o'clock the majority of our villagers
availed themselves of the cheap ex-
cursion to Sarnia. They report a good
time. The excursion being under the
auspices of the Exeter brass band, that
musical organization furnished A 1
music for the occasion.
COLLISION.—On Saturday evening last
as the Seventh Fusileers band of Exeter
was playing in front of the Commercial
House, the Salvation Army came down
in full force with the intention of stop-
ping the musical talented organization.
But through the instrumentality of
" Lockie " with the snare drum, they
were drowned in singing the "Welcome
Home."
Reenneenre—On Friday last Messrs.
Colquhoun & Dow arrived home from
Scotland with two of the finest elydes-
dale stallions to be secured in the Old
Country. "Charming Charley" is a
beautiful brown horse weighing 2000 lbs.
"The Turk" is a light bay with white
star on forehead, with a little white on
both hind feet; his weight is 2100 lbs.
Messrs. Colquhoun & Dow should be
complimented upon securing two such
horses as they have imported. They are
aged respectively 4 years.

the angel of death appeared in the form
of consumption and invaded the peaceful
home of Mr. F. D. Sanders, of Exeter
North, and deprived him of his loving
wife, Sarah, aged 53 years and 18 days.
Deceased has been ailing for some two
years. She was loved by all who knew
her, and the sorrowifig friends have the
sympathy of the entire neighborhood.
We see her here no more,
Nor hear her faltering voice,
We'll meet her on the other shore
And then we'll all rejoice.
CRUEL. —A family not living 100 ndles
west of main street some tine ago adopt-
ed a bright lad from the Protestant
Orphans Home, London. On Saturday
last it appears the lad was a little slow
in performing a piece of work and a fair
lady took it upon herself to beat the boy
in a shameful manner until his cries
could be heard a block away, and not
being satisfied With that took him by
the legs and placed him in a tub of
water nearly drowning him. We have
a law which prevents such cruelty, and
if the parties are again caught in the act
the law will be enforced.
PERSONALS. —D. F. Smith, of Bur-
lington, is at present in this village
securinOnembers for an international
herd atlas.—We are glad to learn that
Mr. Chas. Sanders is improving.—Mr.
James Weeks is still confined to the

A WARNING.—It m generally under-
stood that some of the young people of
this village are in the habit of frequent-
ing the station house at a very late
hour. It would be just as well, and- de-
cidely more becoming, for those con-
cerned to keep better hours. A word to
the wise shoald be sufficient.—A
CITIZEN.
LOCALITIES.—Over 130 tickets were
sold at this station for the Sabbath
School excursion to Goderich on Tues-
day. --Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin and
family, of Hullett, formerly of East
Wawanosh, have the sympathy of all
their old acquaintances in Wawanosh on
account of the sudden death of their son, -
Thomas W., who was accidentally kill-
ed on Monday by a kick on the head
from a horse, one of his team which he
was hitching up. He only lived a few
hours afterwards as the blow burst a
blood vessel and the blood ran to his
brain. He leaves a young wife and
child to mourn his sudden death.—We
are glad so many of the young men who
were attending the Clinton High School
obtained third class certificates, but
Miss Christy Robertson deserves special
praise as she never attended 'High
School, and this year obtained a second
class certificate. After going to the
Model she will make a good teacher.—
A. Taylor this week drove his sieter
Kate to the parental roof in Carrick.—
Miss Nancy Barkley is home from
Detroit; her brother, George, is learn-
ing telegraphing in the office here, and
Ira's pleasant face was seen here this
week for a few days.

BRIEYS.—John Anderson and Thomas
Henry passed the third class examin-
ation.—Ed. Caspell has secured a school
for the remainder of the year, at the

went out to the Northwest some few
months ago for the benefit of his health,
returned last week considerably recruit-
ed. He speaks of the pilrity of the air,
but owing to the changeableness of the
weather, sick people must take great
care of themselves. ---Miss Mullin, of e

—R. Findlay was sentenced on Alon-
day last by Mr. James O'Loane, P. M.,
to three years in Kingston peniteistiary
for the maneating propensities he dis-
played on Saturday week in the Queeah
park, Stratford. For some years past
this young fellow has been suspected of
mysterious doings, and it is to be hoped
his confinement will effect a change for
the better. His Worship, in passing
sentence, remarked that in case of a dog
biting a man the animal could be shot,
and when!a human being, with superior
sense, did likewise he thought the rule
should be reversed so as to apply the
heavier punishment to the man.
