Crich, daughter of Mr. John Crich,
Seafor9i, who received a diploma for
2nd class certificate at the High School
entertainment in Cardno's hall, last
week, has been engaged to teach the
Brodhagen school, at a salary of $300 a

successful and diligent in teaching as she
has been as a Etudent and the people of
Brodhagen seetion are to be congratulat-
ed on securing her services.
THE MCKILROP IN:ill-RANCE COMPANY.
—DEAR EXPOSITOR.—In your last issue
Mr. Beattie says : "If the party writing
the article under the heading of McKil-
lop Mutual Fire Insurance Company,' in
the previous week's paper, would sign
his name in full he would try and prove
the statements made to be false. If
this will assist Mr. Beattie in any way
have no hesitation in giving my name
and surname in full, and trust that by
next week'e issue he will be able clearly
to prove the untruth of the statements
made.—joues R. GOVENLOCK, Winthrop
A NEW COMER.—The Milverton cor-
respondent of the Stratford Beacon says:
" Mr. W. T. Boyle, for many years a re-
spected resident of this village, has sold
his property to Mr. Robt. Rainey fpr the
sum af $725. Mr. Boyle has been ap-
pointed general agent of the Watson
Manufacturing Company, of Ayt, and
purposes taking up his residence in Sea -
forth. While sorry to lose Mr. Boyle as
a resident, we congratulate him on his
appointment." We _have pleasure in
welcoming Mr. Boyle to our town, and
we hope his residence here will be both
pleasant and profitable.
HURON'S MUSICIANS. –7 -The well known
musicians, Mrs. and Miss Sage, of Wal-
ton, are gaining an eaviable reputation
for their playing on the musical glasses,
and their services are being eagerly
sought after by the -managers of musical
entertainments in many -of the larger
cities both in. the United States and
Canada. Last year they completed a
very successful season in the Western
and South -Western States, and they
took so well that they were offered
engagement for this season also, but de-
clined as they did not care to go so far
from home. They have, however, been
filling several engaeements in Canada.
We notice by the ''London papers that
they appeared in that city op the even-
ing of the 14th bast., before a very large
audience, in Victoria Hall, at an enter-
ta.inment under the auspices of the
Young Men's Christian Association of
that city. Before leaving the hall they
were waited on by a committee and
asked to play again on the following
Tuesday evening. The London Free
Press aays : The musical glasses were,
apparently, the feature of the concert,
and Mrs. Sage and her daughter are to
he congratulated on the manner in which
they manipulated the glasses. Several
of the airs were charmingly rendered,
and drew forth unstinted applause,
which was .well bestowed." Mrs. and
Miss Sage are, certainly, to be congratu-
lated on the success they have achieved,
and we have no ioubt they will continue
to grow in popularity.

METHODIST CHURCH, SEAFORTH.—The
_Harvest Home Dinner provided by the
ladies of the Methodist church, under
the auspices of the Ladies' Aid, on the
evening of Thanksgiving day, was in
every sense a most gratifying success. The
dinner was served in the basement of the
church, which had been tastefully dec-
orated in harmony with the occasion by
the ladies and young people of the
church. The quality and abundance of
the spread upon the tables were such as
to please the most fastidious. The ladies
deserve special mention for their com-
mendable attention and courteousness in
supplying the demands of the many to
he served at the tables: The proceeds
amonated to about,$100. After dinner
the audience repaired to the assembly
roomed the church, where an attractive
programme composed of Readings, Ad-
dresses and Music was in waiting.
Messrs. Clarkson, principal of the High
School and Mr. McCoy, of the Presby-
terian church, gave excellent and in-
structive readings in a very forceful and
happy manner and Rev. A. D. McDon-
- ald and Mr. 15. D. Wilson, delighted the
audience with addresses full of merit and
profit. Mr. Wilson gave no uncertain
sound as to his position on the temper-
ance question, and Mr. McDonald spoke
ably on the elements of a successful
church_ The choir of the church, as is
usually the case, discoursed music to the
delight of all. The pastor occupied the
chair, and in his closing remarks, in
harmony with the suggestion of Mr. Mc-
Donald in his address, m.ade a few state-
ments as to the success attending the
church during the past year, as a cause
for thanksgiving. We gladly note the
following : The congregation hasilargely
increased , the membership more than
doubled ; the Sabbath school also Has a
-very creditable increase in attendance
and the finances of the church, which
for the past few years have been a great
cause of anxiety, have been placed,
through the praiseworthy liberality of
the congregation, in a comparatively
easy condition, the floating d bt of ver
$3,000 having been provided f r, and the
loose collections on the Sa bath ow
fully meeting the interest o the I an,

FOOT BALL.—A tournament was held
on the Recreattn Ground, Seaforth, on
Thanksgiving Day. when two good
match -es, namely between Clinton and
Seaforth town team, and Woodstock
and Seaforth High School, were wit -
4
nessed by those who raved -the sveather
and came out. The rst match'was be-
tween Clinton and Sel.forth-town team,
and after an hour's hard play resulted
in a tie, each side having one goal.1
The second match was !between Wood-
stock and Seaforth High ISchool and
some very pretty play was exhibited by
both sides. The Woodstock players
are a fine athletic looking lot of boys
and individually play a splendid game,
but do not play together well ahd there
the High School boys had the' pull on
them. This match resulted in favor of
Seaforth by a score of 2 to 0. After
the seeond match Clinton and Seaforth
went at it again for half an hour to' de-
cide the tie. After the mbst exciting
struggle that ever took place on the
Recreation Ground, Seaforth was aaain
victorious by a score of 3 to 2. Ar's it
had by this time become dark the final
tie between the two Seaforth teams had
to be postponed. The prize for the
THE HURON EXPOSITOR.,
winning team will be a foot bail of the
finest grade, presented by Messrs.
Lumsden & Wilson of this town. The
Woodstock boys staid all nig14 in
town and enjoyed themselves in various
ways, most of them going to the harvest
home dinner in the Methodist church.
TheY are a fine, gentlethanly lot of fel-
lows, and We hope this will not be their
last visit to Seaforth. They left for
home on the early morning train.
TREASURER OF HIS COUNTY.—At the
late November elections, Mr. Allan Mc-
Lean, formerly of Seaforth, and whose
letters from Colorado some years ago
will still be remembered by many
readers of THE EXPOSITOR, was elected,
on the Republican ticket, county treas-
urer of Huerfano County, Colorado,
where he has lived for a number of years
past. Our Republican neighbors,whether
wisely or unwisely,believe that economy
in public expenditure and honesty and
integrity in official trust are best secured
by the frequent accounting to the people
of those whom they honor with official
place, hence it is that even their county
officers are elective and hold their posi-
tions but for a term of two years, with
possibilities of re-election. The office to
which Mr. McLean has heen elected is
the best in the county from a pecuniary
point of view, and is also attended with
less possibility of annoyance and care in
the performance of its duties, than any
of the other county offices. His old
friends and our readers generally will be
pleases' to hear of an old Seaforth man
meeting with appreciation in the distant
home where he has located himself.
A COLLEGE DEBATE.—The first of 3
series of Inter -Collegiate debates took
place in Knox College, Toronto, last Fri-
day night, and was participated in by
two gentlemen selected from the stu-
dents of this institution and a like num-
ber from Wycliffe College. The chair
was occupied by Pr fessor George Pax-
ton Young, L. L. D , and after a pro-
gram e of musical a d literary selections
was g ne through ith the debate took
place. As both the gentlemen who re-
prese ted Knox College on this occasion
are w 11 -known in Seaforth, we append
the fo lowing from he Globe's report of
the pr ceedings :ea' The subject of de-
bate ets a rather u fortunate one from
its vagueness, " Res lved, That to de-
crease the number of independent nations
would, be an evil." The affirmative was
and vsfe. J. Clark, representing Knox,
and the negative by Mr. E. C. Acheson
Wycliffe. The spee hes were generally
admitted to have been among the most
brilliant and acute of those of any de-
bate that has been held among the col-
lege literary societies for some years.
The chairman, in summing up, deplored
the generality of the subject, but praised
th'e speakers, and said that they were so
closely matched, and the contest had
been solelosely worked out, that he could
not possibly decide in favor of either
side."
-THE LATE FRANCIS FOWLER. —M r.
Friancis Fowler, of Harpurhey, passed
away on Friday morning last. Mr.'
Fow, ler has been a severe sufferer for
sevieral months. About a Tnonth ago one
of bis feet had been amptitated on ac-
count of mortification, and he, stood the
operation so well it was hoped the dis-
ease might thus be checked and his life
spared, out any change for the better
was only temporary, and ultimately the
constitution gave way under the disease.
Mr. Fowler had reached the good age of
74 years. He was a native of Northaler-
ton, Yorkshire, England,and came to this
country in 1829 with an elder brother,
and was then only sixteen years of age. -
He resided in Toronto, then called York,
until 1832, when he came to the Huron
Tract and settled on the farm on the
Huron Road, Tuckersinith, near Sea -
forth, where he contiuued to reside until
he retired from the active duties of life
a few years ago, leaving his farm to his
son. For many years he was a member
of the municipal council of Tu.ckersmith,
the late Dr. Chalk, who was an intimate
friend of the . deceased, being then
Reeve. He was an enthusiastic Liberal
in politics and a worthy member of the
Episcopal church. By industry and
good management he succeeded in mak-
ieg a competency, arid leaves his family
in good circumstances. fle was a kind
friend and a good neighbor; and his high
sense of rectitude won for him the best
esteem of his fellow men, and his death
will be deeply regretted by all who knew
him. He was married in 1838 to Char
lotte Anne Jewett, who still survives
-.him, and he leaves a family of four sons
'and four daughters all grown up. The
.remains were interred in the Harpurhey
cemetery on Sunday afternoon last.
THE HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
--Wednesday, the 16th inst., having
been fixed on for the distribution of the
diplomas to graduates of the Seaforth
High School, the pupils and teachers
decided to give an entertainment on that
day, and accordingly set to work to get
up a programme that would be a credit
to the ipstitution. We need 'hardly say
that they were eminently successful.
The students were kindly aesisted by
Mrs. Bright, Mr. Thos. O'Hagan, M. A.,
of Mitchell, Mr, Jas. Scott and Miss
Ewing, Pianist. To the latter two is
due in a' great measure the success of the
programme, as we believe they devoted
a great deal of time to the training of
the scholars, and we are sure they must
feel proud of the way in which the selec-
awls were rendered. The programme
con isted of vocal and instrumental
muSic, readings, recitations, dialogues
and tableaux. The poet (or somebody
else) says that " When all is excellent it
is invidious to particularize," but we
thiek we may be pardoned if we particu-
au4ience, but if all such duets'are per-
formed in the way in which the one at
the High School entertainment was, we
hope they will soon becomqa regular part
of musical entertalnments. The tableau
representing the "Death of Minnehaha,"
was splendid, and was recalled again
and agaih. During intermission the
diplomas were iswarded, those for sec-
ond class students being presented by
Mr. McCaughey, chairman ofithe Board,
,and those to University students by
Rev. J. E. Howell, M. A.., each gentle
man making a neat speech. In the
-second part of the . programme Mr.
O'Hagan's imitation of an old Scotch
minister and his canny precentor brought
doWn the house, the audience laughed
till'the tears rolled down their cheeks,
and when they could not laugh any more
they clapped their hands. The street
scene was beyond description; those who
took part seem d to get into the spirit
of the thing, f r the characters were
portrayed to the life, and it would have
taklen a very sh rt stretch of imagina-
tion to make on think he was in Lon-
don -or some o her great city, where
representatives f almost all countries
may be seen min liug together. A most
successful enter inment was brought to
a close by a oho us by the students and
the national ant em. We do not know
who the stage manager was, but we
ment passed o without a hitch and
there was' flout of those " dreadful
papses " which s often occur in enter-
tainments of th s kind. Mr. Clarkson,

will deliver his leeture " The Rose, the

Mr. Clarke's maeter-piece, and we are
sure the people of'Seaforth and vicinity
will give him a *arm reception. —The
night school, .of which we made mention
last week, opened, on Tuesday. There was
a fair attendance, but still there is room
for more, The school will be held on
the evenings of Tuesday and Thursday
of each week, and members of the In-
stitute are free.—We notice by the
Pilot of Leith, Scotland, that Mr.
Aitken has been unanimously elected
Provost of that city. The office of Pro-
vost corresponds somewhat te_ that of

try, but has connected with it more
onerous and responsible duties. Mr.

ial fever are raging through int the town-
ship of Morris this fall. T e former in-
fects the young for most p rt, but the
latter attacks both ; even the old bache-
lors not being proof against it.—The re-
port that James Hall had rented his
farm on the 7th concession of Morris is
not correct.—The culvert at the south
end of the bridge hero is almost impase-
able at present and should be repaired
at once. Our present council bad better

Wm. Reid, of the Bayfield Road, fell

ease. Much sympathy is felt for the be
reaved parent.
ACCIDENTS.—On Tuesday night last
Mr. Geo. Forest, while on his way to
Varna, collided in the darkness with
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Erratt, who were in
a buggy. The buggy was overturned
into the ditch and Mr. Erratt had his
shoulder dislocated. Mr. Forest went
to Brucefield for Dr. Elliott, and under
his treatment we expect soon to see Mr'.
Erratt all right again. The same night
Mr. Frank Coleman collided with Mr.
Walter Stewart's buggy and damaged it
considerably, the shafts being broken, a
wheel smashed and the axle bent.

Hills Green.
IMPROVEMENTS. —Mr. James Hagan
has just completed one of the best barns
in the township of Hay ; he has stabling
enough to hold 47 head of cattle, 15
horses, and also a large stall for sheep.
Mr. Hagan says it took the biggest part
of $1,000 to finish it, but then money is
well invested in furnishing such sub-
stantial and comfortable accommoda-
tion for stock as this structure does.—
Mr. John Jarrott has also completed his
stabling, and thinks his stable is not a
whit behind the former.—Mr. Charles
Troyer has also remodeled his store so
as to make it look like new, and when
he gets in his winter stock of goods it
will make one of the nicest country
stores around.
BRIEFS.—Mr. Thos. Coleman has now
wound up the cider business after a very
successful season, he having made in the
neighborhood of $50 or thereabouts.—

of it. Mr. Carter wants some one to
" thread on the tail av his coat."
SCHOOL BOARD.—A _meeting of the
School Board was held at Egmoiadville
on Saturday last, all the members being
present except Mr. Dalrymple. The
minutes of last meeting were read and
amended by rescinding the motion grant-
ing Ma. Horton $10 for caretaking and
kindling fires, as all the teachers in the
township were engaged on the same
footing. The school was therefore de-
clared vacant, and the secretary was
authorized to call fOr applications for a
teacher. Several accounts were passed
and ordered to be paid. The Board

ance Hall, Winthrop, on Monday even-
ing October 28th, when the following

THRWING.—Despite the hard times
our wargon makers seem to be in the
midst of prosperity. Mr. Fred Horn
has lately indulged himself in the luxury
of a fine driving horse. Fred enjoys
many pleasant miles behind the animal,
but from its appearance we would cau-
tion him to beware lest his experience
be similar to that of a certain " John
CHEESE OR I3UTTER. —A meeting of the
patrons and share holders of the Win-
throp cheese factory, was held here on
Wednesday the 16th hest. It is under-
stood that the company will build a new
factory but whether for cheese or butter
or for both, has not yet been decided. -
TIIE INSURANCE. —The Inspector of
the insurance company in which the
cheese factory building was insured, has
been here and investigated the affairs in
eonnection with the late fire, and has
recommended that the sum of$996 be
paid as the amount of loss sustained.
This will likely be accepted by the direc-
tors. The cheese were insured in the
Saugeen company, the directors of which
do not meet until the 30th December.
After that date it is thought the insur-
ance on the cheese'veill be forthcoming.
Mr. J. C. Morrison the secretary and
manager, states that if 30 new share-
holders take shares the company will be
able to build the new factory and make

Booth left last week for Algoma, and
Mr. J. Hart hae gone to Brussels, where
he has obtained a good situation,—Mr•

Dimsdale speaks highly of Dakota, but
prefers living under his parental roof for
the winter.—Mr. H. Reid and Yin A,
McBeath, are running opposition against
the sawing bees, as they have purchased
a circular saw and intend doing a noll-
ing business with it. —M r. Joseph ffarvel
