unable to obtain.
ENTRANCE EMINATIoN.—In addition
to the thirty-one candidates previously
reported to have passed the entrance ex-
amination at Seadorth, the following
nineteen have been admitted on the re-
commendation of the examiners, thus
making fifty successful out of a total of
sixty -Four :—Lizzie Barrows, school

Lacaosse.—The Seaforth Lacrosse
Club went to Stratford on Wednesday to
play a match with the dub of that town.
The Seaforth boys came off victorious by
a score of three games to one. rhey
have now won five games out
out of the six for the championship of
the Western district of the Canadian
Lacrosse Association. They require to
play one more game with Stratford
before the series is ended, but it is
scarcely likely that club will care to
meet thorn agaia after the bad defeat of
Wednesday, so that practically the Sea-
forthites are now the champions of the
district. The following is the standing
of the various clubs in the district :,

ITYMENEAL.—In the Chatham Planet
we find the to -Ross -keg reference to the
doingof -a forn:er Seaforth boy. The
Planet says : "An interesting ceremony
took place at the residence of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Moore,No.
265, Park street, in the marriage of Miss
Annie, their eldest daughter, to Mr. J.
M. Ballantyne, of Windsor. Miss Mary
Moore, (sister of the bride), acted as
bridesmaid, and Mr. Webster, Detroit,
acted as groom -email, Rev. N. H. Mar-
tin, the officiating clergyman. The cere-
mony was- witnessed by a large number
of relatives and invited guests, some of
whom had come from a considerable dis-
tance to be present on the occasion'. The
congratulations were rnany and sincere.
After the ceremony the company were
invited to partake of a smnptuous sup-
per, after which several hours were
apent in pleasant intercourse. The bridal
couple left for Sarnia the same evening,
where they will take oae of the Beatty
line of steamers for the upper lakes."
Tire bride -groom is the son of our towns-
man, Mr. William. BaAlaaityne, and the
happy couple spent several days this
week under the parental roof, and they
received th i hearty congratulations of
many town friends.

would ultimately put money in their

would be very much less difficult than
now to get good men to accept positions

How SOME PEOPLE._ CO TO BED.—Be-
fore a woman goes to bed she always takes a
walk around the bed post, and looks under the
bed to see if there is a man there. Now, a man
never looks urpder the bed to see if there is a
woman there, but if he hears a noise gets up
just to see that the person is taking his old suit
of clothes that he just got dyed at parker's
steam dyeing and cleaning works of toronto.
No person should miss on Thursday next to see
the fine turn -out of this old reliable firm. Hand
them your goods, and they will be returned like
new. They. finish ladies' and gent's wearing
apparel of all kinds, readymade up, without rip-
ping. Don't fail to give than a trial, as they
are known far and wide for fine work. - 1028-1

Mrs. Akins arrived in Seaforth on Thurs-
day. It is needles to say that she will re-
ceive from her numerous friends here the
sineerest sympathy in this, thel dark
hour of her sad and terrible bereavement.
. THE LAST SAD RITES.—Death has
been busy in our midst during the last
two weeks, and many loved ones have
passed from earth for ever. The first we
have to record is that of another of the
pioneers of Huron, in the person of Mrs.
Mary McIntosh, who died at the resi-
dence of her son George, on the 4th
concession of McKillop, on Tuesday
last at the advanced age of 82 years.
Mrs. McIntosh, whose maiden name was
Mary McKay, was a native Of Suthere
landshire, Scotland. She came to Can-
ada in 1821 and lived . for four !years
north of Toronto, and then with her
husband removed to McKillop and set-
tled on the farm on the 2nd concession
now occupied by her son James. At
that time the settlers in this part were
few and far between, as the _McIntosh
family were among the first, if net the
first, settlers on the line. Her husband
died about 21 years ago, and she con-
tinued to reside with her son on the old
homestead until a few years ago when
I
, he purchased a residence in Seaforth
nd came to reside here. Some
onths ago, becoming too infirm to live
lone, she went to reside with her son
'eorge. Until about a year ago she was
in the enjoyment of good health and
quite able to get around and care for her
own wants and manage her own affairs,
bnt she was then prostrated by a para-
lytic stroke, from the effects of which she

THE CIVIC HOLIDAY.—Friday last
being Civic Holiday most of the business
placPs in town were closed. Many of
the builders and other workmen, how-
ever, being loath to lose a day while the
good weather lasted, kept on at their
ordinary eccupationsa The town wore a
somewhat deserted appearance as aside
from those named nearly every one who
could left for some point. The weather
was pleasant, but rather too cool for pie-
nicing, and consequently fewer went to
the lake shores either at Bayfield or
Goderich, than would 'have gone had the
aweltering heat of two weeks ago pre-
vailed. The Knights of Labor excursion
was pretty well patronised from here,
but the turnout from points east seemed
to be light, as there were several empty
cars on the train which passed up here
at ten o'clock. The destination of many
of the people can be ascertained from
the following statement of tickets sold
at the Seaforth station : Goderich, 250;
Toronto, 130; Port Stanley, 41 ; Strat-
ford, 35; Detroit, 17, and Buffalo, .16.
It will be seen that Goderich took the
largest crowd.

THE HOTEL KEEPERS.—All the hotel
keepers in town, to the number of nine,
appeared before Police Magistrate Wil-
liams', in the town hall, on Monday last,
to answer -to the charge of violating the
Scott AO. Mr. Holmestead appeared
for the defendants, and Mr. Scott, of
Clinton, for the prosecutionee' A large
number of witnesses were summonsed
but none Of them were needed. In each
case Mr.Holmestead raised the objection
that the Canada Temperance Act is not
now in force in this county. In each
case also the defendants pleaded not
guilty, and then being sworn as wit-
nesses admitted that they had sold in-
toxicating liquors between the 20th of
May and the first of August, the dates
named in the complaints. On this evi-
dence the magistrate made a ,- conviction
and imposed the customary -fine of $50
and costs. Mr. Tiolmestead gave notice
that he would appeal- • the Court of
Queens' Bench on t e paint raised.
Until this point is d cided the hotel
keepers will retain the+ money.and if it
be decided in their favor then, of course,
the reptal vote which is spoken of will
not be necessary, but if it is- decided
against them they will have a liberal bill
of costs to pant The same objection was
raised by Mr. Aylesworth; a prominent
Toronto barrister's short .time ago and
although the matter'has since been pend-
ing in the courtsno decision has- yet been
given. The objection is basedtuport the
contention that since the Act was adopt-
ed in this county the• Dominion Statutes
have been revised and consolidated -and
alt old Statutes repealed and that before
the Canada Temperance Act can be con-
sidered law in this county it must be
again voted on and adopted under the
new or consolidated farm. The Objec-
tion is, certainly, a nioat formidable one,
but that it will be sustained by the
courts we do not think, although -law
is a mighty uncertain thing. This was
Police Magistrate Williams' first appear-
ance in this town- and hip _gentlemanly
and courteous demeanor.- left a, very
favorable impression upon every person
in court.

A HU.E.ON LADY IN TfIE WRECK.—It
seems that Miss Mary Morris, daughter
of Mr. S. B. Morris, of Wingh-am, and
sister of Mr. Morrie,of Mr. Bali's dental
office, of this town, was a passenger on
the fated etcarsien train from Peoria,
Illinois, which, went through the burning
bridge. Miss Morris had been on a visit
to her sister, Mrs. R. G. Wellwood, who
resides in Peoria, and was on her way
home when the a.ceident occurred. In
order to satisfy the friends at home,Mrs.
Virellwood sent the following note, dated
August 13, to the Brussels Post, where
Miss Morris used to live :—"Doubtless
you. have heard before this of the terrible
railway accident of the 10th- inst. and
perhaps you will hear that Mary is'dead,
as some have it here, so -I thought I
would write tol-Mu. and tell you that she
is not dead nornearly so. She has h good
many bad bruises and is very
atiff but is doing nicely. She slept
Iaat night and has a good appetite
considering. Mr. Wellwood went to
her at once and brought her home as
soon as there was a way provided, arrive'
'tug here at 2;30 a. m., Friday. The
city is in mourning and there are funer-
als all the time from daylight till dark,
nearly. They began to bury at 7 this
merning and one funeral was in the
eetnetery last:night after dark. An en-
gineer, McClintock, was burried and
his head was found afterwards. Oh !
you can't imagirie the desolation and
sadness there is here. Now, if you wish
to do so, you may print a slip in the
Post to the effect that Mary is safe and
reeovering fast and her friend's will see
it and be comforted."

SUCCESS up PUPILS.—At the recent
entrance eaamination held in Listowel
James Gass and -Carl Engler, two pupils
of No. 10, rey, succeeded in passing,the
former receiving 431 marks, and the lat-
ter 530-na rks. This reflects much credit
on the p pils themselves, and is also
proof of tie success and efficiency of the
teacher, Mr. Alton Anderson.—Mr. D.
Johnston, who taught so sucpessfully for
three yearn and a -half in Walton, suc-
ceeded in 'passing the 2nd -class exami-
nation at Clinton this summer. He in-
tends pursuing his studies at that seatof
learning for the purpose of taking a
first. We wish him success.
DOTS.--eProf. C. W. Bell has organised
classes in penmanship in Walton and
Cranbrook. Mr. Bell does excellent
work with the quill.—The Caledonian
Games to be held in Seaforth, Brussels
and Lucknow, will soon be at hand. A

the end of last week will do an immense
amount of good. The pasture has suf-
fered much of late for want of rain.
Wells in many parts have gone dry,
causing farmers to drive their stock to
neighboring springs.
ExamrinerioNs.—A number of candi-
dates who failed on second-class papers
attribute their defeat to the history
paper. The regulations said British and
Colonial history will be required. The
paper set, however, did not contain one
question or allow one mark for Colonial
history. Last year 36 per cent. of the
paper was on Canndian history. We
think this an injustice, as those who
studied earnestly and honestly according
to curriculum were thus unfairly given
away.

BASE BALL.—On Friday last the Clin-
ton base ball team, which is a very good
one though no better than they imagine,
came here to play the Clipper base ball
club of this place. The game was called
at 3 p. ne. with Clinton at bat. It is
customary for _base ball teams to play
with nine men, but in this instance Clin-
ton played with ten' men, that is the
umpire played with them. A more dis-
honest umpire never went on a base ball
field. Other places playing with Clinton
want to beware of Baign as he is better
than any two on the field. At the end
of the eighth innings the score stood 20
to 20, when the game was called on ac-
count of darkness. Clinton talks a good
deal of bluff about base ball, but they
can have a match to be played on netural
grounds whenever they please for $100
or $200 with the Clippers..

Pic -NI ----On Friday last the children
attending the Duff's church, Winthrop
and Rot oro Sabbath Schools, held
their anneal picnic in Mr. John .Kerr's
grove. The day, although somewhat
cool in th grove, was very pleasant, and
there was a large tuth out both of chil-
dren and •dults. A nicer place fbr a
-pleasant fternoon'e outing could scarce-
ly havellg,en selected, and it is scarcely
necessary to say- that Mr. - Kerr, who
takes an ctive interest' in every good
work, w s indefatigable in his efforts to
see that 11 enjoyed themselves and he
seemed ,be eminently successful. He
was, also efficiently assisted by others

IMPROVEMENTS.—The town hall has
undergone considerable repairs lately.
The floor has been renewed, a jury
room added and the stage carpeted. A
nice new cushioned chair for the judge
has also been provided and the place
now looks quite tony. Judge Toms had
the honor of occupying the new chair
for the first time last Wednesday on the
occasion of the holding of the Division
Court. There were only a few eases
tried.—Messrs. Ehnes & mill-
ers, have added to their already large
and complete establishment, a new roll
chopper which will enable them to chop

Goderich.
BRIEFS.—Mr. E. Hooper has beenvery
unfortunate of late with his horses. Not
long ago he lost a fine horse and replaced
it by a better animal, but had it only a
short time when inflammation set lila
put an end to its usefulness. Thelossof
tyke such fine animals is very heavy --
upon Mr. Hooper.—In the list of those
who have Succeeded in obtaining :first-
class "0"teachers' certificates appears

successful candidate from this county,
being only Seventeen.—Mr. William

on a trip up the lakes has returned and
looks quite resuscitated, the exhilarating
breezes of the lake having made him look
much fresher—Mr. W. It. Meredith,
who was visiting the Point Farm, has

at a salary of $450. This is an advance of
$30 en his present wages, and speaks
well for John. We wish him continued
success.—The harvest is now nearly
completed, and the sound of the thresh-
ing -machine is heard in the land. The
brown and sere nieadows, bare fields and
gloomy days, at present, tend to remind
us that autumn is at hand, and that
eoon "the woods around our vales shall
put their glory on."—The hunting sea-
son will soon be in. We prophesy long
walks and light game -bags for lovers of
this pastime as partridges are very
scarce this year.
Goderich Township-
DoT.—Some farmers have threshed
their wheat which averages 20 bushels,
and their oats 50 to 60 bushels to the
acre. Potatoes on the first concession
are almost a total failure and many
pieces are not worth digging.—Mr.
—The first casualty that has occurred
to Southampton fishermen since 1855 be-
fell one of them last Friday night during
a severe gale that started about four
o'clock from the northwest. A fisher-
man named McAuley was overtakes] by
heavy breakers about.' :20 o'clock, on
his entering the mouth of the river
Saugeen, and was thrown forcibly out of
