NORTH AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE CeMPANY.—Last week we published a synopsis of the annual report of the North American Life Insurance Com- pany, of Toronto. The report shows the Company to be in a highly prosper- ous condition, and to be eminently safe financially. The North American has a large number of policy holders in this county, and all will be pleased to see that it continues to grow in strength and usefulness. It is a good company. Mr. James Watson is the local agent here, and Messrs. Wm. Copp and D. M. Rad- cliffe are the traveling representetives of the Company in this district. • A LIBERAL REQUEST.—We take the following front the, Presbyterian Re- view of last week : "Dr. Reid has re- • ceived from Miss Mary. McEwen, exec- utrix of the last will of the late Mrs. Catherine McEwen, of Exeter, the sum of $7,218, viz.: for French Evangeliza- tion, $500, and the remainder for the Foreign Mission Fund." Mrs. McEwen was the widow of the late Duncan Mc- Ewen, of Hay, one of the pioneer resi- ciente of this county, and mother of the Messrs. McEvren of Hay, near Henna, and Mr. Peter hicEwen, of McKillop. The bequest is a most generous one and will stand as a permanent memorial of the Christian liberality of the worthy donor. Fon THE NORTHWEST.—The first ex- cursion train fee the Northwest this season left on Tuesday last. Among the passengers trom here were Robert Mc- Cartney and family, James Rouat and Jas. Chapman, all of Tuckeramith ; and Joseph and Samuel Getty, of McKillop, with their families. Mr. McCartney took with him 3 horses, 3 cows, and other moveables ; Mr. Remit took 3 horses; Mr. Joseph Getty, 3 horses, 2 sows and e lot, of implements ,• Mr. Samuel Getty, 2 horses and other effects, and Mr, Chapman 3 cows and a lot of inechinery. There were in all five cars of freight. Mr. Chapman was bound for Meosomin, and all the others for Moose Jaw. A large party also went from Clinton on the same day and united with tha Seaforth party here. Among the latter were Mr. James Wells and fam- ily, Mr. Thompson, of Stanley, and others. There were seven cars of freight from Clinton. These were joined by others at the_various stations between this and Toronto. CONGREGATION AL MEETING. —At a congregational meeting of the Seaforth Presbyterian church held on Monday evening last, the question of selecting an assistant for the pastor for the six sum- mer mouths, was decided on. Three students from Knox College had been heard, viz : Messrs. Nichol, Mc- Millan and Stephenson. They are all good men, and are a credit to the grand old College from which they come, and were much thought of by the members of the congregation. Mr. Wichol, how- ever, had written saying he had accept- ed another charge, and consequently the choice rested between Mr. McMillan and Mr. Stephenson. The congregation would be well satisfied with either of these gentlemen, but finally decided in favor of Mr. J. W. McMillan, and in the event of his declining to come to in- vite Mr. Stephenson. We understand Mr. McMillan has accepted the invite- . : three weeks. Brother Renton , has his own wee of preaching the gospel. , This church, will at any time give him a warm welcome to repeat his work, either as evangelist or - as paator. Thus far seventy-one have joined our church On probation.

The Returning Officer, who is never by all law and custom permitted to vote ex- cept when a tie actually occurs, voted twice in addition to counting for Dr. Maoarthur the ten votes sent in by per- sons who do not live in the division. It is hardly necessary to add that Dr. Sloan, knowing that there is not a sha- dow of doubt that the majority of the Votes of the medical men residing in the division were cast for him, will claim the seat at the medical council and no one believes for e moment that any at- tempt to deny him justice will succeed. The medical men of this section are un- animous in denouncing this outrage. AN ELECTRIC FIRE ALARM.—Mr. Wm. Somerville, agent of the North Western Telegraph Company in Sea - forth, has had erected between Cardno's hall and the Waterworks building a new electric fire alarm, for which he is the agent. This alarin seems to be admir- -ably adapted for small towns, •and if adopted here would add ritucli to the efficiency of our fire protection system. In fact it seems to be the very thing we need. The alarm has now been up over a week, and so far as it has been tested works admirably. The whole thing, including the central station, the Water- works, and font. call boxes placed at convenient points throughout the town could be put in at a cost of probably not more than $150. After the alarm is up Mr. Somerville would guarantee it for two years, and would bind himself to look after it and keep it in working order for that length of time free of charge. Goderich has adopted this eystem, and it has been in operation there for some time and it gives the most entire satis- faction.

Dickson, eldest son of Samuel Dickson, ER., Postmaster of Seaforth. The sad event took place about five o'clock Monday evening, and although he had been ill for about a year few thought the end was so near. He was just one month and ten days over twenty years of age, and was a young man of the greatest promise. Previous to his illness he was a fine, strong, robust look- ing young fellow, and gave every prom- ise of becoming a splendid man both physieally and mentally. About a year ago, just after leaving school, he went into a' decline, terminating it consump- tion, which in a few months ran its course, taking from the parents a loving and dutiful son, the hope of future years ; from the family circle an elder brother and from the community what bade fair to be a worthy and useful citi- zen. He visited Manitoba, hint sunsmer with the hope of his friends that the change would do him good, but he re- turned rather worse, if anything. From the firat he itad an evident disinclin- ation to leave home or even to go around while at home, and it seemed to be an effort for him to leave the house or specially exert himself in any way, and apparently only idid so to please his friends. Of late, however, he has been so weak that physical exercise was impossible, even had he been in- clined to take it, which he was not. Throughout his entire illness he never complained, and although he seemed to know the end from the beginning he was always cheerful and appeared perfectly resigned. He had a natural talent for music, of which he was almost passion- ately fond, and to the very last nothing seemed to afford him greater pleasure than for some of hie former associates to gather around him in his sick room and sing for him the hymns and songs in which he so delighted to join when in robust health. He had been for some time a member of the Presbyterian Church choir, and was one of the leaders in the Seaforth Quartette club, who with their excellent music delight- ed audiences here and elsewhere during last *inter. He was of a genial, kindly, obliging disposition, and was a universal favorite with young and old. His early death is a very se- vere bereavement to his parents and other relatives and friends, and is much and deeply regretted , by our citizens generally. The remains were laid to rest in the Maitlandbank Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon last. • examination at the Central Business RBOOTARING.—Mr.- E. tIcFaul has College, Stratford, have been awarded had rather a hard time of it since his diplomaa in the shorthand course.—Dr. return home from the South.

These con- gregations contributed $1,68.—Rev.

During his last visit here Mr. Enright paid out over $3,000 for horse flesh and we hope he will double that amount this time. —Mr. John McLaren, of Toronto, spent Sunday and Monday last in town.—Mr. Allen, of the Collegiate Inetitute gave an admirable address in the Young Men's Christian Association rooms on Wednesday evening last. Next Wed- nesday evening Dr. Smith will talk about hie trip across the continent last summer. The meeting will be open to all and ladies will be welcome.—Mrs. Rich. Wright and family removed to Wood stock this week, where Mr. Wright has been since hot spring.—The recent soft. weather has made the roads very sloppy and bad.—The Good Templars of this town will have an open lodge meeting in their hall on Wednesday evening next, to which every person is welcome. —Miss Ettie Duncan and Mr. Julius Duncan, Jr., of Toronto, were in town this week.

But for that it would now be almost impassable while it is actually much better than many of the roads outside or town on which there is little travel.

Fitzgerald, trotting stal- lion; Robert Newell, three mares, and James Taylor one mare and stallion colt. CHURCH CHOIR.—We learn that a choir is to be organized in connection with the Presbyterian church, Chieel- burst. Who will be chosen as leader we have not been informed, but we have heard the names of two or three propos- ed as intending applicants. We might merely say that in our opinion one of the first requisites in a choir leader is that be have an ear for music. It is not enough to have the outward physical organ large and well, developed. The next requisite is that he be able to sing; it is not enough that he be able to do "singing for the million" when out among the corn stalks. We would there- fore suggest that a suitable teacher of vocal music be secured, and a large class composed of the young people of the neighborhood be formed and a regular course of five or six months in inusic be taken by the pupils until they become quite proficient," correct as clocks and musical as glasses," when it will be an easy matter to select a suitable leader from the class, and when he leads there will be some who can follow. Turnberry. FARM SOLD.—Mr. Peter Anderson, of the 6th concession has sold his hundred acre farm to a gentleman from near Whitechurch for $6,000, Mr. Anderson retaining possession of the farm for this season.

Not knowing what was He is, evidently, a young man of much promise; is an honor graduate of Toronto irniversity, and has completed his second year in theology in Knox Col- lege. , We have no doubt his stay here will be pleasant to himself and benefic- ial to the congregation. At the same sleeting a number of plans were • pre - seated for the enlargement of the churoh building, but the meeting de- sired longer time to consider the matter and definite action was deferred. OLD FAIINDS HEARD FRO-M.—rhe Telegram Herald, published at Grand Rapids, Michigan, publishes an account of a social event at which Rev. H. C. Densmore, a former Tuckersmith boy, figures prominently. The regular week- ly meeting of the Chautauqua, Literary Circle, at Fennville, of which Rev. Mr. Densmore is a valued member, happen- ing to fall on that gentleman's birthday the members of the class took advantage of the occasion to show their apprecia- tion of his society and 14ers among them, by presenting aim - with a handsome plush -bound album, containing the photos of the members of the class. This -was accompanied by a neat address expressing their appreci- ation of the labors of their leader, Rev. Mr. Densmore, in organizing an sue- ettsfully conducting the class.—We are no less pleased to hear of the good and successful work of another gentleman who hos on several occasions visited Seaforth and in whom many of our citi- zens still take a most kindly interest, viz., Rev. A. H. Ranton. The Michie gen Christian Advocate, of the 22nd inet says: In the opinion of many the church at Greenville, Michigan, has just gone througho10 of the most" pre- cious revival seasons in its history.

We hope, however, that )301 itnjurious re- sults will ensue from this 'mishap and that he will be laround ' and able to atten to business again in a few days. Nsw GAS PLANT.—The following 'paragraph, which we take from a recent issue of the Leader, published in Bo- livar, Allegheny, New York, will be of interest to many. The Mr. Myers mentioned therein spent several .Weeks in Seaforth during the.past winter, and is a soia-in-law lof our esteemed towns- man, Thomas Kidd, Esq. The Leader says : "Great interest is being taken in the apparatus of Messrs. Myers & Altice for the manufacture of gas from crude petroleum. Last week Mr. Myers annexed a compressor upon his original Gas Plant patent and can now send the gas made, under one or fifty pounds pressure, to any reasonable distance re- quired. The gases made being a per- fect fixed carbonated hydrogen gas] and so much lighter than the natural gas that its burning qualities are better and give off more light and heat than any natural gate therefore capital is invited to acme forward aud examine the Plant.

MEDICAL COUNCIL ELECTION.—Con- siderable interest has been taken by the medical men of this division in the elec- tion of a representative to the Medical Council of Ontario. The. province is divided into twelve districts, the medi- cal men residing in each division being allowed to elect a representative. The candidates in this division were Dr. W. Sloan, of Blyth, who was brought out by a unanimous vote of the Huron Medical Association, and Dr. J. Mac- arthur, of London. The votes were by ballot, each medical practitioner in the division being permitted to sent in a voting paper, on the margin of which he wrote the name of the person for whom he voted and at the end of tha paper after solemnly affirming that he was are- sident of the division, the voter signed his name. The votes sent in were count- ed by the Returning Officer Dr. James S. Edwards, of London, on Tuesday last. Of the members of the medical profession residing in the division one hundred voted for Dr, Sloan and eighty- nine for Dr. Macarthur and this certain- ly should have given the former the election. The Returning Officer, how- ever, accepted and decided tocount, the votes of ten medical men who do not re- side in the division and some of whom are and have for some time been well known to be residents of the United States: This made Dr. Macarthur's vote ninety-nine, just one lacking a tie,so the Returning Officer again came to the rescue and counted his own vote, thus making the ce.ndiclates equal.
