A CASE DECIDED.—A case between
Mr. Wm. CasisuPbell, of this town, and
Mr. Thos. ErHays, of McKillop, which
was tried at the fall sitting of the
County Couft, created considerable
local interest. It seems that Mr. Camp-
bell held a chattel mortgage on the
goods of Mr.,Joseph Craig, of McKillop,
and Mr. Hayes held a note against him.
Mr. Hayes sued the note and ° got judg-
ment and then took proceedings to set
aside Mr. Campbell's mortgage on the
ground that Craig was insolvent at the
time he gave it: At the time of the
trial judgment was reserved, but •we
now learn that judgment has been ren-
dered and is M favor of Mr. Campbell
on all peints.

ment appeared in thd.Goderich Star of

concession of Stanley. When his famil
had grown up, he retired to Clinton, and
resided there for some time, but when
they removed to Michigan he desired to
go with them so that they might live to-
gether. He was .remarkably healthy
during his life time, and was sick only a
week before his death. While cutting
hay on a stack, he got a thorn in his
thumb, but after it was taken out ery-
sipelas set in, and went up his arm into
his system, causing his death. He
was on elder of the Presbyterian church
for a number of years, and took an ac-
tive part in church matters. He Was also
a good singer, and was precentor for
some time. His wife died in Clinton
about six years ago. He leaves behind
two sons and one daughter (allmarried,)
to mourn the loss of a kind, indulgent
father. Yet they have iso reason to
mourn as those who have no hope, for
he died in perfect peace, and went down
to the grave as a shock of corn fully
ripe.

him in his old route this season.

ery.— Gospel temperance meeting an -

cate that there will not be as large a

was polled at the last election, and
some who think they know say it will
be a close run in Huron.

been troubled for several, weeks with
whooping cough,. and about a:week ago

ed to -Mr: and Mrs. Govenlock in this
the time of their sore bereavement.

opening ode of the order,and after par-
taking of a bountiful repast provided by
the court, the company were entertain-
ed by music, readings, recitations, &c.
One of the most pleasing features of the

charter members and has occupied near-
ly every office in the court and has filled
the Chief Ranger's chair for nearly one

he closes a long business career here with

citizens and the good wishes of a very
large circle of friends follow him to his
new home where we hope he will enjoy
health, happiness and prosperity.

noble thoughts, of great cultivation of

yet stand at the head of the noble pro-
fession which he now adorns. Although
Mr. Wilson has been teaching in the
section only since the first of January,
he has succeeded in inspiring his pupils
with a love for the beautiful in art and
natures has taught them to hate all
Villainies and to respect others as them-

a liberal education. We predict general
prosperity for the social and. moral in-

THE GENEP,AL'S ADDRESS, AND AT
THE SAME TIME MING DESIROUS
OF COMMUNICATING WITH III,
FORCED TO ADOPT THIS PLIILIC
METITOD OF MAKING KNOWN A
PRIVATE MATTER:
Seaforth, Ont., March 27th, 18sa
3-hl.'oit)tEx‘viitI1GliEnNEdRoA:
ntt be surpri,:ed to ret•eire a
letter from your old friend li) th6 rathererig,in.
al method, but my reason for no doin4 is flo as.
sure myself of your health and prosper* 1
ant just about as usual myself, while my .grow.
in72,- business is a constant source of satisfaction,
Trade with me is very good, but best of all it is
yearly increasing. I congratulate myself that
I cast my lot witb this thriving community. I
tell You "My Old Friend " the good people her.
Oouts only require courtesy and squandealing
in return for the liberal patronage "ley are
ready to bestow at all times upon the worthy.
From the first, I followed out thc plan I thought
Would win in the long- run, and if goods have
been misrepresented, or a single customer not
fairly dealt with, it has ben done without my
knowledge and consent. The best indication
I can offer that this has not occurred, is the long
list of steady patrons who made my establish,
ment their regular trading place. I returned v.
short time ago from the East where I made a
splendid hit in the purchase of Mantle Materials,
Dress Goods, Silks, Millinery, 47..e. Thestyle and
miplity of the layout is A I, and is hound to ie
the sensation of the season. You know, I havelr
always been sanguine, but I don't ititend to let
this purchase turn my head in the least. I have
TM idea of ,getting rich or retiring on the pro
eeeds of this stock, for what I make Emus be on
he volume of my trade or not at all. We are
having our Millinery Opening, on. the 20th and
:31st of this month, when I believe I shall eer-
tainly prove to the people of this vicinity, that
the Store of your humble servant is the LEADER
the Dry Goods and MILLINERY LINE. I ex-
pect we will be busy for some time, hut eern
a i (I see ns when you can, and we will do our
b st to entertain you.
Sincerely Yours,

and rightly so ; but why should not the
prepentor 13.nd congregation be trained to

Wilen the singing does not suit him, he
will stop the singers and say," -That will

SOOTT ACT..--sThere appears to be iittist
excitement on the vote on the repeal of
the Scott Act as yet, but both parties -
are said to be working energetically.
We do not think that the temperance
pe,:ople are displaying so much zeal in the
cause on this occasion as they did when
the vote was taken on the Scott Act.
Why ? No doubt one reason is that the
opponents of the act refuse to discuss
the fluestion on the public platform.
PI:en Professor Goldwin Smith, who is.
regarded by some as a thorough master
of the English llinguage, has failed to-
eenvince us poor benighted :Canadians
