This is the 22nd anniversary, not of the formation of the congregation, but of the opening of the church. On Sunday the sermons were preached by Rev. Mungo Fraser„ D. p., of Hamilton. Notwithstanding rather unfavorable weather there were large congregations at both diets of worship, and Dr. Fran- er's— plain, practical, gospel sermons seemed to please all. On Monday even- ing Dr: Fraser delivered his lecture tin "What Makes the .Man." Although the night was wet,. dark and disagree- able and the rods bad, there was. a' fair attendance. It was, without exception, one of the best lectures ever delivered in Seaforth, and although Mr. Fraeer spoke for three quarters of an hour we venture to say that there was not one in the audience who wasnotsorry-when he sat dowu. His 'ready fund of anecdotes and his apt poetical qtiotatione, every one of which seemed to impress upon the mind some irnporte4it, wholesome truth,made the lecture at once intensely entertaining and instructive The Rev. Mr. 'Casson, pastor of the Methodist Church, who was present, also delivered a shoA and excellent impromptu address, while the choir, led by Mr. Scott with Miss Ewing at the 'organ, :gave several de- lightrul musical selections, which were well appreciated by the audience. On the whole the evening was a most pleas ant and successful one, and in a finan- cial point of view, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather., netted as much as the old fashioned tee, meetings formerly did. The chair was occupied by the pastor,1 Rev. Mr. McDonald who,as ie his wont, did full justice to the position. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the speakers and the choir.

She had finished a six • months' term teaching in a echool in the vicinity. of Deloraine, where she was - very suoceesful and liked the people and the prairie province well.

THE HORSE FAIR.—The Horse and Ca.ttle Fair held in Seaforth on Wed- nesday last was a gratifying success notwithstending the wet weather and very bad roads. There was a large erowd of people in town. There was also a large number of horses -brought in _for sale, including all classes and all qualities. Anything first. -class was bought up readily at good prices, but inferior stock was slower of sale. As n arty its we can learn thirty-five horses anged hands, most of them by private sale, although several • sales were also made at auction. There were ncit many cattle in and in these the sales were not numerous. There was a large number of buyers present besides the local men and they all expressed themselves well pleased with the business done. Of course some who brought their animals in through the mud and had to take thom home again were disappointed, but they will have better luck—next time. On the whole, the Fair, -although the first, was a splendid success in every respect and will be continued every month. The next will be beld in Jan- uary and due potice of the date will be given. Mr. W. G. Duff wielded the auctioneer's hammer. CLOSING ENTERTAINMENT. — The closing entertainment of the- Seaforth Collegiate Institute was held in the In- stitute Assembly hall on _Wednesday • evening. On account of the night being • dark and wet,the attendance was not large. The ehtertainment opened with shortabut interesting and instructive address by the chairman, Mr. D. D. Wilson. This address was followed by a short programme of recitations and music, consisting of a well 'rendered in• strurnental solo by Miss M. Kidd, a recitation by Miss Schoalee, a vocal solo by Mr. E. Walsh, a recitation by Miss Sloan, and a very fine instrumental duet -by Misses N. Wilson and F. Johnson. Diplomas were then given to those who - successfully passed the higher examine- , -tion last summer, The second part of the programme was opened by an instru mental solo by Mies D. Wileon, follow- ed by a reading from Mrs. Kirkman; a well reudered quartette by Misses W. Killoran and IF. Johnston and Messrs. J. Campbell and C. Willis ; a musical trio by J. Daly, W. Henderson and Miss B. Daly ; Is fine vocal solo by D.McDonFild and a recitation by Mr. G. Aitzel. The entertainment -was an excellent_ one and shows that the cultivation of the literary and musical tastes of the pupils is well attended to in the Institute,as well as that of the dryer and more intricate, although perhaps not more useful, studies on the curriculum. 0 f children that can be found in the .

Give him room. McK ANOTHER. HAPPY MAN.—During the past eummer Mr. Andrew Archibald,jr., son of Mr. Andrew Archibald, of the 5th coneession erected a handsome -re- sidence on his farm in Hibbert. This gave rise to considerable conjecture among the young people of the neigh- borhood as to who the mistress of the new home would be, as Andrew is not the boy to provide cage unless he had a bird to pueinto it. All doubts on this - point were cleared up on Wednesday le.st wheh heled to. the altar Margaret, second daughter _of Mr. -Samuel Wal- lace. The happy event took place at the residence of the bride's father, and the knot was firmly tied by the Rev. Mr. Graham, in the presence of a good- ly number of the friends and relatives of the contracting parties.
