CLOTHES FOR THE LITTLE INDIANS. — The Women's Foreign Mission Associa- tions of Seaforth, Clinton, Goderich, Blyth, Brucefield, Kippen and Thames Road sent away a few days ago four large boxes of clothes for the Indians -ander the care of the Rev. George Flett at Okanase, Northwest. The Presbyter- ian Sabbath School, of Seaforth, also sent a box full of books and Sabbath School papers to the Sabbath School at Burnside, Manitoba. INSURANCE OF THOROUGHBRED STOCK. —A meeting of the owners of thorough- bred horses was held in Samuel's Hall, Exeter, on Wednesday of last week, for the purpose of organizing a Branch Com- pany for the insurance of entire horses and other stock to be run in connection with the Usboyne and Hibbert Mutual Fire Insurance Company. There was a good representation of those interested from all the surrounding counties. It was unanimously resolved to establish the Branch, and a committee was ap- pointed to draft rules and prepare the necessary forms. When this committee completes its labors a meeting will be keld to complete the Work of organiza- tion. The idea is a good one, and if pro- perly carried out will result in great ad- vantage to the owners of valuable thoroughbred stock. NORTHWEST MISSIONS.—On the 16th inst. the Rev. Jas. Robertson, M. A., Superintendent of Missions for the Pres- byterian church in the Northwest, visit- ed Seaforth, and preached morning and evening in the Presbyterian church. In the morning he preached a plain and practical sermon on the words, "The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost." In the evening he gave a very interesting missionary ad- dress. He referred to the large field opening up, and calling for laborers. He gave graphic descriptions of the efforts the people are putting forth to help themselves, and referred to .many inter- esting fields to which they could not send laborers for want of funds. On Monday, in conversing with a few warm- heartediriends, he secured a promise of help in conjunction with some other con- gregation, to secure a laborer for one of these fields. Mr. Robertson has a large .field and hard work, but he is a devoted laborer in the Master's work. ACCIDENTS.—What might have been Tory serious accidents occurred on Wed- aesday evening at the raising of the frame of Mr. Dickson's new stable near the creamery in this town. A young Aran named Duncan McEwen, son of Mr. Peter McEwan, of McKillop, was stand- ing on a top plate and while trying to catch a rafter which was being handed rap to him he lost his balance and fell to the bottom'a distance of about twenty- two feet. Mr. John Morrison, of Mc- Killop, who was also on the top of the frame started to come down to see what had happened McEwen, and when about half way he slipped and also fell to the floorbeneath. Both men were taken tip in an unconscious condition. Medical aid was immediately sent for and Dr. Evans was soon on hand and had them removed to Carroll's hotel. Mr. Morri- son recovered sufficiently to be taken home the same evening and Mr. Mc- Ewen is now considered out of danger, but the escape of both, especially of Mc- Ewen, from instant death is almost miraculous. THE FAILURE OF THE SCOTT Ar.— The lecture given by. Rev. Mr. Keefer, of the Dominion Alliance, in the Presby- terian church on Thursday evening of last week was well attended considering the state of the weather. Mr. Keefer is an eloquent and pleasing speaker and is thoroughly acquainted with his subject. He began at the very beginning of the movement, followed it step by step up to the present time and proved conclu- sively that the Scott Act is not a failure. In fact he left the anti -Scotts not the shadow of a leg to stand on. His re- marks were interspersed with interest- ing a,ncl witty anecdotes and he was frequently and heartily applauded. Music and recitations were furnished by Professor Morgan, a blind musician, and his little daughter. Their selections were well rendered and were duly appreciated by the audience. Mayor Beattie oc- cupied the chair and it is unnecessary to state that he filled the position in a very satisfactory manner. a NOT CORRECT.—Several of the papers have recently been having lots of fun at the expense of the Seaforth Town Coun- cil an account of a. resolution which was said to have been passed by the Council offering a bonus of $10 for each burglar the constable could shoot. We always had the idea that the Seaforth Town Council is pomposed of sensible business men, and we had our doubts if any such foolish resolution had been passed even hi jest, and a scrutiny of the minutes eendraled 941" doahts, as no such resolu- I; tion or one that Ico meaning anything even proposed.

DEATH OF A SCOTTISH CLERGYMAN. — Many of our readers in this vicinity will regret to learn of the death of Rev. Simon Fraser, Presbyterian minister of Fortrose parish, Rosshire, Scotland, which took place two weeks ago in the eighty-first year of his age. Mr. Fraser was one of the most prominent figures in the Highlands at the disruption a.nd in the conflict by which it was preceded. He graduated at King's College, Aber- deen, and for several years acted as uni- versity librarian. In 1832 he emigrated to New Brunswick, where he labored for seven years, returning to Scotland in 1839 to be ordained minister at Fortrose parish. Since 1843, he has been pastor of the Free Church there, and in 1885 was presented with a purse of sovereigns on attaining the fiftieth year of his min- istry. He is survived by one daughter, Mr. Jas. Forsyth, of Egmondville, and Mr. Alex. Forsyth, of Tuckersmith, were members of Mr. Fraser's congrega- tion in Fortrose, and he officiated at the marriages of both gentlemen, as well as at the marriage of their two sisters. The Mustards, of Stanley, also belonged to his congregation, and Messrs. Hugh and Alexander Mustard, sr., were both elders. He was very much opposed te their coming to this country, and did all he could to dissuade them from &ling so, as his residence in New Brunswick pre- judiced him against the country. We venture to say, however, that, although his intentions were undoubtedly good, he was mistaken, and that none of them ever regretted not taking his advice however w411 meant, as they have all done well in this country. • Mitchell. AIL SAFE.—Considerable anxiety was felt in Mitchell on Monday in regard to Mr. Jno. Whyte, sr., the well-known pork packer, who was understood to be on the upper lakes on his homeward journey from the Northwest. That gen- tleman, however, we are glad to say, turned up hale and hearty on Tuesday. It seems the boat on which he was a pas- senger put in at Killarney, where it was safely sheltered from the violence of the gale. A FATAL CALAMITY. —A serious calaro- ity befel the town of Mitchell on Sunday night, owing to the falling of a brick wall on Main aareet. Mr. Henry Jamea, a pushing and enterprising builder, has been erecting a brick block, the second story of which was intended for an ope house. The walls had attained a heig of about twenty feet, and the wo generally was being pushed forward wi every possible rapidity. On Sunday night during the gale, some passers-by were apprehensive that the walls would succumb under the great force of the storm, but Mr. James had every confi- dence that they were strong enough to, withsta,nd the pressure. Adjoining the building to the east were some frathe structures, the one next being occupied by Mr. Noel Green, his wife, and an adopted girl aged about 18, named Snosv. Next was the saddlery shop of Mr. Brod- erick, and next that again the office of Drs. Hodge & Wood. About Ile o'clock some boys warned Mr. Green that a portion of the south wall of Mr. James' building had collapsed and that there was danger of the end wall also succumb- ing, and advised Mr. Green that he had better get out. He did not heed the warning, coming as it did from boys. a Mr. Broderic and Dr. Wood were also informed of t e occurrence. Mrs. Green, who has bee an invalid for many years, felt much ala med and earnestly advised her husband to quit the house till the storm had a ated, but he refused. She, poor woinan, was pacing up and down the shop an peering through the dark- ness while tr mbling at the violence of the storm. 11 at once the crash came, the wall top led over on to Mr. Green's frame house, and carried the roof and all into the ce lar. Green and the girl Snow were instantly killed. The poor wile, being near the door, miraculously escaped the f te of the others, but not, howeverawit out sustainingsomeinjuries which, it is f ared, may yet prove fatal. The smashin of the stove in its descent to the cellar ignited tire surroundings, and an additional calamity from fire was for the time imminent. Mr. Broderick at once 8tarted to work moving the con- tents of his shop, as did also Drs. Hodge & Wood the contents of their office, but through tim ly assistance the lire wa's prevented fr m spreading. Mr. Green was a quiet, industrious citizen, and from a small beginning was working up a good busin ss. Through assistance re- ceived some time ago from friends in England, he ad purchased the shop in which he liv d from Mr. J. S. Coppin, and was t riving fairly. Should his poor wife re over, she will be an object of tender sy s pathy, and no doubt the feelings of t e citizens will be enlisted in her favor, so that, though deprived of her support, he will be protected by the public. Mr. James has been a pushing, industrious arid persevering citizen, and much sympa hy is felt for him under the trying circu stances, The sterm which caused such ad havoc was an unusually severe one. Not in many years has so strong a gale been experienced in this locality. uckersmith. REMOVED. Mr. J. B. Crossen has moved his wife and family into Clinton, where they i tend to live for the future. THE FARM RS' CLUB. —The West End Farmers' Cl b met 18.st Tuesday even ing, and th re was a good turnout.

Mr. Simpson, who has bedome so popular here both as a ministee and a man, is likely to receive a call from Knox Church, Goderich, to be assistant pastor to Rev. Dr. Ure. Whether or hot Mr. Simpson will accept the call is not known and probably he has not made up his mind. The matter will likely come up at the next meeting of Presbytery. Mr. Simpson, it may be said was not looking for Or expecting a call, but by previous arrangement' he exchanged pitlpits with Dr. Ure for a Sabbath. - Winthrop. 1 MEETING. j— The McKillop Reform Club willni eet at the temperance hall in Winthro , on Monday evening, the 31st inst. large attendance of Re- formers is particularly desired.

THEFT OF A COAT.—An oilcloth coat was stolen from the front of one of the stores in town last Friday evening. Constable avis was acquainted with the fact ancJ started to work up the case. On Saturda he shadowed a tramp that was frequenting our town, and on Sun- day Was sucaessful in finding the coat. On Monday morning he returned it to the rightful owner.

From , the first of her illness up till nearly the last she was a very hopeful sufferer, always expecting to surmount her troubles, but was always ready to say "not my will, but thine be. done, _Oh Lord. Her funeral toola place on Tuesday, when about 70 buggies bearing many a sad heart follovaed her to the grave with only one bright thought to cheer, the hope of meeting her in heaven, as she has been a, consistent member of the Presbyterian church for over three years, and the last words she spoke were, " I leave it all with Jesus." "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From whieh none ever wakes to weep, A calm and undisturbed repose Unbroken by the last of foes." Hensall. ANTED. —One Coatmaker andtwoo Pan m and Vestakers.

ROBERT BELL, JR., Third Concession, Hay. 1037-t EATH OF REV. JOHN LOGIE. —Many rea ers of THE EXPOSITOR will deeply reg et to learn of the death of Rev. John Logic, which took place on Tuesday of last week at his residence in Tilbury East of typhoid fever. For about thirty years Mr. Logie was pastor of the Rodgerville Presbyterian church and was much and deservedly beloved by the members of his congregation. He was a faithful minister, a sincere Christian and his daily walk and conversation were an example to all who came in contact with him. He was well advanced in years and leaves several of a family all of whom are grown up. ITEYIS OF NEWS.—The Hensall Driv- ing Park Association, assisted by a number of their country and village friends have this week been busily en- gaged in fencing and levelling the new grounds, and in laying out and grading the track. We think that when com- pleted it will compare very favorably with that of any other village park or track.—We inadvertently omitted to make mention in a former issue of the marriage of one well and favorably known when residing near this place, but who is now in a distant part. We refer to our friend Mr. P. 0, Stone- man, assistant train despatcher at linron, Dakota, who was recently united in the bonds of matrimony to Miss C. J. Roberts, of the same place. We wish the happy couple continued happiness and prosperity.— Mrs. T. Dick, Jr., of the township of Hay, returned home lately from an ex- tended pleasure trip and after spending a number of weeks with relatives and friends in the vicinity of Ottawa, To- ronto, Thornbury and Nottawa.—Miss Johns, of Wingham, who has been for the past few weeks ou a visit, returned 11 Zurich. HEAVY STORM.—The recent heavy wind storm blew down the 35 foot smoke stack on Dummert and Wesloh's tan- nery and - damaged it considerably. Crystal & Black, of Goderich, have sent a man to repair it. Part of the barn roof of Mr. Kippfer' of the Bronson line, was demolished anda great many fences blown down. DEATH. —Mr. Ab. Shetler, of the Babylon line, lost his daughter aged 14 years, last Sunday evening, after a long illness. The remains were interred . in the Goshen line cemetery on Wednes- day forenoon. This is Mr. Shetler's second bereavement within a period of three years, and great sympathy is felt for him by all his friends. NOTES.—Last week while Mr. Frank Mayon was coming to the village with a load of grain one of his horses took sick, and in spite of all that could be done for it it died about six hours afterward. Colic was the trouble.—A lot of citizens are in Goderich this week attending the assizes.—Mr. G. Holtzman is d.oing a big business with his surprise washer. AN ENRAGED BULL.—On Saturday last Mr. Solomon Martin, of the Babylon line, and his son Isaac started with a bull to drive him to Exeter. The animal went along peaceably until they reached Exeter North, and when opposite the flax mill where a number of people were standing on the road he became so excit- ed and enraged as to be perfectly fur- ious. He made a drive for the crowd of people. and scattered them in all direc- tions. He then turned upon Mr. Martin and his son who were trying to restrain him, and in order to save themselves they were forced to place a fence be- tween themselves and the infuriated brute. Having cleared the course and become thoroughly master of the situa- tion, His Bullship started on the return trip homewards. At this juncture Mr. Spackman, of Exeter, who had a couple of ladies in the buggy with him,droye up and was going in the same direction as the bull had taken. Mr. Martin warned him of the danger ahead, but he pur- sued his course and soon overtOok the bull. The animal, evidently thinking that eone had a right to the highway but himself, furiously attacked Mr. Spackman horse, riving his horns into the animal's flanks, and horse and buggy were soon precipit ted into the ditch. A gun was at once rocured and the bull was shot dead. The damage done amounted to about $40, but fortunately no person was injured. Belmore.

The groom was Mr. Gilbert Thomson, and the bride Miss Myhew, late of Cornwall, England. The former is 77 years of age, and the latter scarcely 18. This is June and December and no doubt, but we wish them happiness all the same. INHUMAN TREATMENT.—The all -ab- sorbing topic of conversation in this vil- lage and. the surrounding country for the last week baek, was the cruel treat- ment practised by one Samuel Blair upon his wife, and his subsequent well- deserved punishment. It appears that Blair, after returning from church, beat his wife unmercifully, drenched her with cold water, and then turned her nut of doors to seek shelter where she might. The poor woman, who by the way, is much respected by all who know her, after passing most of the night in the swamp near the school house, fled to the home of her sister in Goderich township, where she yet remains in a suffering con- dition. On Wednesday night, after Blair had gone to bed, he was roused from sleep by a commotion among his geese. Not taking the trouble to dress himself, he rushed out to see what was wrong, when to his surprise he was seiz- ed by a party of men, and despite his struggles he was half dragged, half ear- ried down town to one of the hotel pumps, where, in his nude state, he svaa well drenched with cold water. On the way to the pump he begged for mercy, but all the response the contemptible wife -beater recaived from his inexorable captors was a liberal splattering of tar, which did not (seem to add much to his comfort. Aftek the cold water bath he was allowed to go on his way rejoicing. There is another matter which should be looked into, and that is the way in whisk Blair has been bringing up his children, without giving them even the rudiments of education. Manchester.
