SEAFORTH COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. — Mr. Hoclgson,one of the Provincial High School Inspectors, paid an official visit to our High School, on Wednesday. At a meeting of the High School Board, af ser the inspection, Mr. Hodgson con- Teyed the pleasing intelligence that ow mg to the recent itnprovernents made in the building and the superior quali- fic t.tions of the teachers, he had fully de- ed ed. to recommend. that the Seaforth Kish School be raised on the first of wary next to the rank of a Collegiate Institute. This will be gpod news to the people of Seaforth and all interested in .,he school, and shows the wisdom of th , action of our people in furnishing th • trustees with the necessary funds to en ble them to carry out the improve - la its which are now nearly completed. • FOOT BALL.—On _Saturday last a foot - • t match was played on the Recreatitin g, unds, Seaforth,between the Goderich ld lel School club and the Seaford? 11 ;I? School boys. During the first f time neither side scored although G lerich was compelled to play mostly oi the defensive. In the second half, ht vever, the Seaforth boys had things al their own way and just showered in th • shote. It was only the magnificent play of the Goderich goal keeper that saved his side from an overwhelming defeat. Time and again he "got there just as the High School boys were ready to throw up their hats and "holler." As it was, Seaforth obtained three goals, leaving the score 3 to 0 in their favor. 1/1r. Carruthers aeted as referee and his decisions proved entirely satisfaatory. On Thanksgiving day a match will be played between Woodstock and Seaforth. Woodstock has gained quite a reputation and as the Seaforth boys are playing a strang gam, an interesting match may lee expected. THE HORSE INSURANCE ASSOCL1TION. — A meeting of those interested in the for- ttion of a Mutual Company for the purpose of insuring horses was held at ltiodgin's Hotel, Hensall, on Tuesday last. There was a fair attendance. This meeting was called for the purpose of finishing up the work of organization which was begun at a previous meeting held at Exeter, a report of which we gave two weeks ago. At that meeting a eommittee was appointed to prepare rules for the regulation of the Associa- tion, decide on the forms of policy, applications, &c., to be used. The com- mittee reported and their report was adoptecit This Association is to be con- ducted:as a Live Stock branch of the • Usborne and Hibbert Mutual Fire Insur- ance Company, and like it will be on the mutual plan, that is, each person insur ing stock in it will be required to. give a premium note in proportion to the araount of his insurance, and whenever a loss occurs an assessment on the pre- mium notes will be made. So that the expense will just be in proportion to the losses sustained. The working expenses will be very much lighter on account of lacing connected with the other Corn.pany, and after the first expenses of starting willbe merely nominal. It is proposed to insure all classes of horses except livery horses, but no risk will be taken on any animal valued at less than $75, or more than $1,500, whatever their actual value may be, and even these will only be insured, registered stock at two- thirds of their value and unregistered at one-half. In this way both the owner and the Company carry a fair proportion of the risk. The premium note upon whieh assessments are made will be 10 per cent. of the inured value of the ani- mal, that is two-thirds of the actual or appraised value. Insurances will be effected for one year. The territory em- braced by the Association will be the Counties of Elgin, Middlesex, 11 urou, Perth and Bruce. Three Directors or Inspectors are appointed from each county. It will be the duty of these inspectors to examine and pass all appli- cations for insurance, the inspectors of each county attending to the applica- tions from their respective counties, and where there may be doubts as to the -ad- visability of insuring an animal they mill have to cause an inspection of it either personally or by a veterinary sur - goon. All animals also of the value of one thousand dollars and 'over must be inspected by a special committee ap- pointed by the inspectors or directors of the county in which the animal belongs. There writ also a general agent appoint- ed for each county whose business it will be to solicit and receive applications, and who will receive a fee of one dollar for each application, to be paid by the applicant. The directors or inspectors appointed for the several counties are as tollows, viz: Huron—D. McIntosh, V. S., Brucefield; Alex. Innes, Clinton, and A. Colquhoun, Exeter. Miidlesex —J. D. O'Neill, V. S., London; R. R. Grandy, Clandeboye ; E. W Charlton, Drinerief. Bruce—T. G. ufl',- V. S., Kincardine; A. Moffatt, Teeewater. Elgin—T. L. Carson, St. Thomas; W. McLellan, St. Thomas; reh. Camp- bell, Lawrence Station. Perth—Wm. Stephens, V. S., • St. Mays; Charles Brooks, Mitchell; John Ja ohs, Sebring- ville. The first named in each of these lists are the inspectors. 1 he agents are as follows: Elgin—W. McLeIlan, 'St. Thomas; Middlesex—Dr. J. D. O'Neill, London; Perth—Alex. Du.ncan, Farqu- har; Huron—John Manson, Brucefield. As soon as insurances to the amount of $50,000 are secured, the eompany will proceed to issue policies., So far as we can see every precaution has 'aeen taken to fully protect all parties and to secure the establishment of the association upon a safe and reliable basis. Al] who wish to become members and take 'advantage of the privileges it affords ould send in their names to the agen of their county, together vith the umber of animals they desire instire , as the sooner the required amount of insurance is got the sooner can the aSso iation go into active working operatic) If pro- pertycondneted,and there is ev ry reason to expect that it will be, the ssociation will be an expellent and bale cial one, and should be liberally enco raged -by horse owners in general. It will also be noticed that it is not the owners of en- tire horses alone that are interested, but farmers and others who have ares and colts can also participate in .it benefits. We hdpe to see it liberally sup orted by the horse breeders and oWn re of the county of Huro . The asses ents will death the receipt of two-thi s of the scarcely be fel, while in th case of value of an animal will heli reatly to lighten the loss. ; i .

The Presbytery i ecommended tat the assembly meet triennially iuteajI or an- nually and that cemmissionere be elected by rotation and' hat their. i.xp nses!be paid. A remit 91 the marria se questiOn a was deferred.. T - e Book of For ns Wks submitted to a committee coi sistiog of Alessrs.:McDoriald, Dr, lire, S ewart, McLean, Scott, and McCaughey, to re- port at next meeting. The esignation of Rev. MaThorispsora of Hensall, occu- pied the attentiob of PreSbytery fcirsome time. Representatives} freer tlensall and Chiselhurst kere heard, all • testify- ing to their high estimation of Mr. Thompson ; the success attending his labors, and the regret in partin with him. Mr. Thompson declared is ad- herence to his resignation as his redica1 adviser said a change was nec ssary. Members of Presbytery were heajrd ex- pressing regret at parting 1 wi li Mr. Thompson. It was agreed to aceept of his resignation and the pulpit be declar- ed vacant on Sabbath December 4th, by Mr. Fletcher and that he act as interim Moderator of Seision. Messrs. McDon- ald, Musgrove and Fletcher were ap- pointed to prepare a minute in reference to Mr. Thompson's resignation. The call to Mr. Simpson, of Brucefield, from Goderich, was read by Dr. Ure. The call was signed by 307 members and 229 adherents; salary $900 and free manse. Mr. McDonald was appointed to es. - change pulpits with Mr.Simpson on Sab- bath, Novembet 20th, and cite the con- gregation to appear for their interests in Willis' church,Clinton,on December 6th, at eleven o'clock, a. m. The next meet- ing of Presbytery is to be held in the Thames Road church, on the third Tues- day of January, 1888, at eleven o'clock, a. m., and hold the Sabath school con- ference on Wednesday, commencing at nine a. m. Instead of entertaining the members of Presbytery at the- private residences of members of the congrega- tion,they were all taken toWeir's Royal Hotel, it being deemed right that as Mr. Weir is keeping a temperance hotel all the legitimate patronage possible should be placed in his way. We hope the ex- ample thus set will be emulated else- where by other religious and temperance organizations. THE YOUNG LIBERALS' ANNIVERSARY. —The Young Liberal Club of Seaforth celebrated their first anniversary byan open meeting in Cardno's Hall on Tues- day evening last. In the absence of the President, the chair was occupied by Mr. `John Beattie. Some men are born to rule, but Mr. Beattie was evidently born to be a chairman and on this oc- casion he fairly excelled himsslf and kept the audience in the very best of good humor throughout. The large hall was comfortably filled by a most atten- tive and appreciative audience, a con- siderable number of whom were from the surrounding country. The gallery and the front seats down stairs also, were occupied . by ladies, who seemed to be equally interested with their liege lords in the proceeding. Mr. John McMillan, M. P., expected to be pres- ent, but on account of his illness he was unable to leave home and in order to fill a portion of his time, Messrs. D. D. Wilson and M. Y. McLean were called on for short addresses. The speaker of the evening, however, was Dr. Mc- Donald, M. P., for East Huron. He spoke for over an hour and kept the undivided attention of his large audience. He is an easy, fluent, graceful, and logical speaker, and delivered one of the -most able and eloquent addresses ever listened to in this town. He first referred to the pleaeure it afforded him to address a meeting in Seaforth, especially in behalf of the Young Liberals and pointed out the necessity for the young men of the Liberal party familiarizing themselves with the public questions of the day. He then referred briefly to expenditures of the Dominion Government, and the rapidly increasing public debt, and pointed out several ways in which that expenditure could and should be decreased and economy practised-. He dwelt at considerable length, and with much clearness, upon the subject of Commercial Union, de - claring himself strongly in favor of it, and showing very conclusively in what manner it would benefit the leading and most important industries of the country and at the same time enhance its wealth by increasing its trade and developing its great mineral resources. He also showed the way in which this wider trade circulation would strengthen the patriotism of the people to the mother country, and smother out the feelings of discontent at present so prevalent front one end of the Dominion to the other. His., remarks were frequently warmly applauded, thus showing that the bulk of his audience were thoroughly in sympathy with every word he said. At the conclusion of his remarks a hearty vote of thanks was tendered him. for his excellent address. The meeting was a complete success in every sense and the Young Liberals have -started on the second year of their ex- istence with every prospect of increased success and usefulness before them in the future.

OBITUARY.—It is our painful duty to record this week the death of Mrs. John Doig,which occurred at her residence on Thursday jthe 3rd instant. Mrs. Doig, whose masden name was Janet McLaren, was born ea Chippewa, Welland county, on the 3rd of September, 821, and was consequently aged 66 years and two months. Her parents were natives of Perthshire, Scotland. When but three years of age her father died and she, with her widowed mother, removed to. Lachute, in the Province of Quebec. Here in the year 1840 she married Mr. John Doig. After residing for thirteen itears there they removed to Upper Can- ada, settling on the farm is Tuck,ersmith on which they have resided -ever since, . and which at that time was a solid bush, 1 but pow by induetry and perseverance 1 is one of the finest in the eountr. Mrs. Doig was the mother of twelve ciiildren, ' ith. very pleasant esidence of Mr. mith, on Wed- ngest daughter, to Mr. David g gentleman of was performed of Egmondvile. 11 only five of whom survive her, viz., three sons, John, Andrew and William • Doig, and two daughters, Mrs. Andrew Clark and Miss Bella Doig. She had been confined to her bed during the past seven months of her life, and at times suffered intensely, all of which, however, was borne with Christian fortitude and resignation. She was for many years a member of the Presbyterian church; a faithful wife a noble mother, and was highly esteemed by all who had the pleasure of her, 'acquaintance. The funeral was held on Saturday at 8 o'clock in the morning, the Rev. Mr. Acheson conducting the service, yet, notwithstanding the early hour, a large number of the friends and neighbors of the deceased assembled to perform the last sad rites. Her remains were interred on Saturday evening in the Molesworth cemetery. — - Chiselhurst. OBITUARY. —It is with sorrow we re- cord. the death of Walter, only son of Thos. G. Shillinglaw, teacher in School Section.No. 7, Hibbert.

The burial services were conducted by the Rev. It. Y. Thompson, of Hen- .sall, assisted by the Rev. P. Scott, of Cromarty; the address, Which was taken from the words "Suffer little children to come unto me," was very forcible and well-chosen, and the goodness of God, even in -the midst of, earthly ,afflic- tion, was clearly shown. The bereaved parents have the syinpathy of all. Deceased, whose remains were interred in the family burying ground on McTaa- gart's hill, was aged 2 years and °1 month.

In the afternoon ses- sion several subjects were brought up for discussion, the most important one being the way itt which the work should be done, which was ably discussed and beautifully illustrated by some of the older members, but the younger ones seemed a little backward in corning to the front. An open meeting was held in the evening which was well attended by both young and old. There were also representatives from Brucefield, Gran- ton, and other neighboring lodges, who were unable to be present during the day. Dancing was the leading feature of the evening. The music was furnish- ed by Gilmour Brothers, who proved themselves worthy of the name they have earned in this line. At about 2 a. m. the whole company was brought to- gether by the floor manager and the closing ode was sung, all hands joining in so heartily that they made windows and doors rattle. Then all retired to their respective homes, quite satisfied with the enjoyments of the evening. Hensall.

FIRE — About 2 o'clock on Wednesday moru ing, the villagers were suddenly aroused from slumber by the cry of fire. The cheese factory was found to be in flames. Some persons soon were on the spot, but as all the cheese, was upstairs, and as this part Of the building was already a mass of fire, nothingeould be saved. The flames, fanned by a high east wind, were but a short time leaving the building in ashes and it was with difficulty that the ad- jacent buildings were saved from the angry flames. About 200 cheese together with all the machinery and utensils were completely destroyed. Both factory and contents were insured, nevertheless there will be considerable Loss. Although the fire is known to have originated up- stairs in the drying room, the true cause thereof is a mystery. Bayfield. SPECIAL SERMON.—On Sabbath last the Rev. Mr.Hodgins preached a special sermon for the Orangemen, in the Epis- copal church, in commemoration of the 5th of November. There was a good attendance of the brethren besides a fair congregation of others. The sermon was a very able one and was listened to most attentively and with evident in- terest and profit. The subject was con- tained in 27th and 28th verses of the ninth chapter of Esther. HE DIDN'T SUCCEED.—One day last week a constable came here from Clin- ton to serve summonses on the hotel keepers for infractions of the Scott Act. The announcement of his mission was sent in advance of him and on his arrival all the hotels were closed and the landlords were invisible. On arriv- ing at one of the hotels he alighted from hia buggy and tied his horse, when he was at once surrounded by a few hood- lums who commenced jeering at and jostling him. They ultimately succeed ed in so frightening the poor creature that he begged of them that if they would leave him alone he would get into his buggy and depart in peace. After subjecting him to some more indignities they let him go. We must be blessed with some very brave constables in this county. If in this instance the constable had let a few of the chaps who molested him feel the weight of his baton, he would soon have rid himself of their presence and could have proceeded with his business in peace. All that is requir- ed is a little firmness and courage, as such proceedings have not the sympathy of the respectable people of the village, who are very largely in the majority.
