THE YOUNG LIEERAL CLUE'. -A. meet- ing of the members of the Young Liberal Club will be held in the rooms on Tues- dary evening next, at half -past seven. At this meeting the officers for the next year will be nominated. At a meeting on the following Toesda.y evening the election ef officers will take place. Both these meetings should be well attended. BURGLARY. -On Sunday night last burglars broke into the office of Messrs. ▪ Ogilvie, of the big mill, in this town, by prying open one of the window. They drilled two holes through the outside shell of the tide door with the evident intention of blowing the safe open. Be- fore they completed their work, how- ever, it is supposed they got frightened away, by the watchman corning out of the mill at 12 o'clock at night, as no further = damage wes done, although their intention no doubt was to blow open the safe to get at the contents. But even had they been successful they would not have rnade ‘a heavy haul as the safe only contained about thirty cents in cash. The rascals also broke into Mr. John Dorsey's blacksmitla shop and stole from there the tools with which they bored the holes in the safe. The country seems to be infested by dishonest rascals just now, and it would be well for merchants and others having valu- ables about them to be prepared for emergencies. A little cold lead would not be wasted on the scoundrels. the marriage ceremony, in whie Porteous, jr., liarrieter, of Tdront ficiated as groomsman and Miss C of Seaforth, as 'bridesmaid.

To say that the seve- ral displays were good,but very inade- quately conveys an idea of their superior excellence, and where all did so well it would. be invidious to particularize, but ° we may say that the night illuminations at the establishments of Messrs. E. Mc- Faul and Dancan St Duncan, were much and deservedly admired by thousands of people. Messrs. Pickard and Hoffman also Had each Very handsome and sea- sonatile articles displayed in this depart- ment. It is now an established fact, fully recognized by purchasers, that the millinery esta,blishments of Seaforth are incomparably in advance of any estab- lishments in the trade, -outside of the large cities. We would, therefore, earnestly advise any of our lady readers who may desire millinery, to pay our establishments a visit. They will find here a larger selection, more fashionable and handsome goods, as well as lower prices, quality considered, than ha any other town west of Toronto. , They can verify this statement by making a visit to the Seaforth millinery establishments. sari efo pr isle friends." • BARGAINS IN", CROCKERY. -I -J.

About two weeks ago Mr. Ward went to Bethany, in the county of Durham, to visit his eldest son and daughter, and while there was attacked with inflammation of the lungs which proved fatal. He was taken sick on Friday and died on Monday. The re- mains were taken home on Wednesday and were interred in the Egmondville cemetery on Thursday. Mr. Ward, was a native of the county of Wicklow, Ire- land, and come to this country about sixty years ago. He settled in the town- • ship of Manvers, in the cerenty of Dur- ham, and continued to reside there until 21 years ago, when helsold his farm to his eldest sou, who is still in. possession of it, and where he breathed his last, and came to the township of Tucker - smith and purchased from Mr. Craig the farm on the 5th concession which he con- tinued' to own antil his death. His wife died about six years ago. He had a family of twelve children, five sons and seven daughters, all of whom, with the exception of one daughter, survive him and are grown up. He was a remark- ably active, healthy man, and in his younger days it took an unusually good man to match him either in work or play. The day before he left here he walked from his own place to Seaforth and seemed to step along almost as light and lively as a lad of sixteen. Ild was a good citizen, a kind and obliging neigh- bor, and. a firm friend to any who possessed his confidence. He was a Conservative in politics and a member of the Episcopal church. et FINNAN' liadi clies nd CisCos for at FAHthnv's, in the ban +olt. 1034 HOT SODA. BISCC nsh-Baked yes to.

Stanley. TAXES AND THE TAX COLLECTOR. - At a rneeting of the Stanley Council held on Saturday last Mr. Thos. Wiley was appointed collector for the present year. A resolution was also passed to the effect that all taxes not paid by the 14th of December next will be increased five per cent., and all taxes with the in- crease must be paid on or before the 31st day of December. The next meeting of council will be held on Saturday, Novem- ber 12, at one o'clock. Belgrave. OUR Sitow.-Despite the wet weather, con wield and muddy roads there' was a very good show held here on Tuesday of this we4k under the auspices of the East Wawan sh Society. Owing to the MI- pleasan ness of the day a large number of expe ted exhibitors did not put in an appearance, consequently some of the classes ere not very well filled. The exhibite that were there were of a splen- did order and the people deserve credit for their pluck in doing all they could to make the show a success.

GOING TO LEAVE. - Mr. Roderick Ross, who has been principal of our Public School, has resigned his position and is giving up at New Year's. During the three years he has been here the school has made rapid strides and during this time he has succeeded in turning out five third class teachers. It is to be regretted that we are losing such an efficient teacher but it is to be hoped that the success which he had here may be greater where he may cast his future lot. He has taken Horace Greely's advice and intends going west. • RoEt. Buswell, formerly a , merchant in this place, but now of. Goderich, lately paid a week's visit to our village. Be met all his old business and other friends with his usual smile and pleasant man- ner. Mr, Buswell took a trip on the different lakes, and is now much irreL proved in health. Sta,ffa. LOCALITIES. -,Professor Hawkins of this village honored the people of Mit- chell with several of his instrumental musical selections, and so aptly did he perform that he met with much applause. This speaks well for him, as he is one of those young men who, by their oveneftorts, have reached that height of excellence which few attain. -Dr. Shillinglaw, who came to our village last spring, has an extensive practice, and is said - to be quite competent to be entrusted with the sick. -Quite a gang of "Smart Aleck's" visited out show to "rope in" the "country greenhorns" as they fancied, but imagine their dismay when they were given a few minutes to decamp, which they did in the least possible time. -Mr. and Mrs. John Drake are visiting their daughter Mrs. A.

The first day was mostly taken up with placing the exhibits in their position and the awarding of the prizes for the exhibitain the hall. The collec- tion of fruit, vegetables, grain and all kinds of fancy work was large and very superior, and in a great many cases the judges had very much -difficulty in deter- mining _as to who should have the awards. On the evening of Tuesday there was a large crowd in the hall. The town band was present and discoursed some very fine music, to the enjoyment of those present. On 'Wednesday the prizes for farm stock were awarded, and in this department the exhibits were ex- ceptionally fine. La horse flesh there were some of the finest evier seen in this part of the country and it went to show that the farmers are taking a greater in- terest in this particular line than ever before. . The cattle alsoexceeded the exhibits of any previous year, and tak- ing it all in all the exhibition was a grand success. The direotors are to be congratulated on the manner in which the whole affair was conducted, and no doubt they did their utmost to make it the best fall fair ever held in Huron. - Times. Wroxeter. NEWS. -Mr, Colgan, of Mount Forest, has rented the Greed Central hotel in this place and will occupy it immediate- ly. -Mr. Hazlewood has taken ,possession of the flour mill and will buy anyi quan- tity of wheat, and we understand coarse grains also. We bespeak for him a liberal patronage. -Mr. A. Goodfellow; we understand, wilt he leaving the town. We are sorry to lose Andy as he was 'always liked in the mill and a very popular man with the farmers. We ho.pe he will find some place that will suit him, and that he may prosper therein. Fare, Snow. -As anticipated our show was in every way a success, and if it had not been for the gloomy weather would have out -rivalled the county teivn show. The show of fruit was excellent ; vegetables came in for a good share of attention and admiration. Mr. G. Nich- olson. dovvned everything with his fine herd of Durham cattle, and Mr. J. John- ston took the same place with his flock of Leicester sheep. The show of ladies' work, as usual,. was large and v.aried, calling forth the admiration of every one. The Wroxeter woolen mills had a fine ex- hibit of tweeds, yarns, &c., of their own manufacture. Great credit is due to the rnanagerhent for the splendid success at- tending fthe show, and we hope that next year wiU be as good or perhaps a little better. Tuckersmith. COLLECTOR APPOINTED.- t a meeting of the township council held itt Tuesday last at Brucefield,Mr. Samue Carnochan Was again appointed collect r of taxes for this year at the salary of $90. The next meeting of the council will be at Brucefield on Wednesday, I th October, at 10 o'clock a. rn.

The following is the resolution in full which will settle any dispute as to the eorrectness of the former report : " Moved by Samuel Wallacel and :fecund - ed by Wne Dalry-mple that the follow- ing teachers be. engaged for: the year 1888 at the salaries opp.esite bheir respec- tive names, to light fires an keep their sang "Old Black Joe." This lady has a splendid voice and it is to be hoped that she will always give a selection at all the society's entertainments. A short farce in which Messrs. Bentley, Black- brough and McMartin joined, entitled. "A Five Dollar Oath," was applauded to the echo. •Mr. Wilson then -sang with his usual vim "The Red, White and Blue." Mr. Wm. Stewart then gave a short agricultural address on •` The Model Farm." The address was very instructive, Mr. SteWart being an origin- al thinker. The meeting closed with the National Anthem." The next one will be held in two weeks at the school house of sectiOn No. 9.--11 Exeter. TOWN CLOCK. -Mr. Hess, of Zurich, has completed and placed in the tower of the new market building the town clock which strikes regularly every hour. It is a credit to the manufacturer as well as our councillors for their enterprise in getting such a useful ornament to the village. TME Owes. -The two screech owls which were mentioned: in last week's correspondence, were captured in the park' on Saturday night last, and the birds are now in the taxidermist'a hands getting stuffed. They are a very valu- able pair of birds. BAD CONDUCT. -On Sonday night last three of our young men, who would not like to be called any other than gentle- men,were doing the town at the midnight hour by tearing down eigns on Main street. It would be wise for them to call and settle the damages done with the injured parties, and the Sooner the better as their names are knovere SCorr ACT. -On Friday last Mr. Wm, Cunningham, of Shipke, was brought before Police Magistrate Williams and fined the sum of $58.20, being the first offence for violating the Canada Temper- ance Act. Mr. W. Clark, of Crediton, was fined the sum of $1107.25, being the second offence. Judgement was reserv- ed in the three following case: Wm. Holt, Khiva ; Edward Evans and Wm. Mitchell, Crediton. BOAT ASHORE. -During the severe gale on Tuesday morning last the schooner " Colfage " from Goderich, Captain McDonald coinmanding, ran ashore at Port Blake. ,The vessel was driven clear up to the shore, and all the ci ew got off safely. It Was loaded with lumber, and the deck load was swept off. Considering the position of the boat it is expected it will be got afloat again with- out much injury. The captain and several of the crew were in town on Tuesday afternoon. RETURNED. -On Fniday afternoon last, Mr. Benjamin Case passed through the village with part of the stolen prop- erty which was taken from his premises a little over two weeks ago. He found one horse in Sombre village,near Sarnia, the other horse died a week previous, by being overdriven. He got the demo- crat wagon at Marine City, Michigan, across the river. The cushion, robe and double set of harness are still missing. It.appears that the thieves tried to get the horses to swim across the river, and failed as the animals were afraid of the water. They must have succeeded in getting the buggy across on a boat or raft of some kind. Mr. Case will be at a great loss, as expenses to recover his stolen proprty will be heavy. The thieves must have driven the team about one hundred miles the day fter the animals were stolen. RoBBERY.-Between Sund y night and Monday morning some evil -disposed person gained admission to Hawkshaw's . hotel in this village and carried off two good overcoats belonging to guests which were hanging in the waiting room. They also took from the bar a silver watch'a meerschaum pipe and a pair' of boots be- longing to Mr. Wess Hawkshaw. They opened and ransacked several drawers in the bar and get a 25 -cent shin plaster in the till. A drawer near this was locked, but the key remained in it and contained some two or three dollars in silver, but this had not been touched and evidently escaped. the notice of the thief. He had, evidently, not gone up stairs at all. I he parties were heard in the house by several of the guests about one o'clock in the morning, but nothing was thought of the noise made as it was not _unusual. -The station house was also visited the same night and the safe in the office broken open, but no money of any account rewarded the enterprise of the barglars. The supposition is that they were green hands at the business. RenaIL GraMndiSESshSibMitIiTonH,,m1Hthelinnsear311,andwFilaIg nc3 iGvoeo d sa, on Friday and Saturday, October 7th and 8th.

On that morning he was help- ing his son in thedfield, and when in the act of stooping de -an to pick up a stick he fell forward and died in a few minutes afterwards. It is supposed heart disease was the cause of death, Ile was 75 years of age. He was , a native of Fermanagh, Ireland, and carne to Canada about forty years ago. He first settled near Dundas, in the County of Wentworth, where he resided about ten years. He then removed to Huron and settled on lot 16, concession 8, .IIullett, where he continued to reside until his death. At that time all this section of country was a howling wilder- ness, and Mr. Stewart used to think nothing of walking to Clinton and bring- ing back one hundred pounds of pro- visions on his shoulders through the bush, where there was not even a path. But, by dint of that indomitable pluck and perseverance which so eminently characterized the pioneers of this County, he soon succeeded iu converting his forest homestead into a fine, fruitful farm. His wife died about two years ago: He leaves a son and five daughters all comfortably settled in life, who will ever cherish lie most affectionate re- men:brance one df the kindest and most indulgent, although always wisely dis- creet, parents. Mr. Stewart also leaves many warm friends who will deeply regret his very sudden, but not untime- ly death. East Wawanosh.

Mrs.. J. •Blackbrough then sang in excellent form Over the Borden with Charley," as an encore she Hills Green. DEAR EXPOSITOR. -I see by your last issue that Mr. Dixon bound thatbig binding by hand with binding mitts on his hands ; now sir there must be some- thing wrong about the crops. I think that the land is moat stones and rocks and grows very little crops,for both Mr. Dixon and W. 13. Clarke could not do such big work in South Huron. If they can they had better come down next summer for there are lots of farmers will hire them both and give ithem big wages, especially those that have no binding machines, for it will pay them, It is very well -to blow after the harvest is over, for we know that Mr. Dixon cannot bind ten acres a day in the county of Huron, and itis unreasonable to say that any man can bind at the rate of five and a half sheaves to the minute and keep it up for eleven hours or week, for that is what he has done ac- cording to the sheaves he bound the day he bound ten acres. --Coes. Brussels. DISGRACEFUL 0,0NDUCT.-Last Sunday evening the Salvation Army was attacked by a lot of roughs who threw eggs at them. It is, it seems, a common occurrence for them to attend the Army meetings and act in a disgraceful man- ner. At the council meeting Councillor Backer wished to know from the village constable where he was on that evening, and why he did not prevent such con- duct or have thens brought before the Reeve. From the enquiry it was ascer- tained that some of the parties are known, and aa soon as witnesses are got an example will be made of some of them, the constable being instructed to lay in- formation against any, as the council are bound that the roughs will not run the town. Boys you had better refrain or your pocket will suffer or you :will lodge at Goderich for a while.
