DISTRICT MATTERS.
QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. —At a meeting of
! the Turf Club, on Monday night, it was
decided to hold races here on the 24th
' of May. ,There will be a 3 minuteand
a 2.35 class, also a free for all. $600
will be given in prizes. The bills will
he out next week. Seaforth always has
good and well conducted races, and we
expect those on the coming Twenty -
Fourth will be fully up to former years.
BUSINESS CILINGE. —Mr. F. W.
Tweddle, late of Fergus has purchased
the dental business of Air. W. J. Fear
in this town, and takes possession of Mr.
Fear's office on Tuesday next. Mr.
Tweddle scents to be a pleasant, ener-
getic young man, and we believe stands
well in his profession, and we have
pleasure in welcoming him as a citizen.
Mr. Fear, we understand, intends re-
moving to Toronto, where he will re-
sume the practise of his profession. Mr.
Fear has been a good citizen, and his
pleasant,- genial manner has won him
hosts of friends here, all' of whom will
be sorry to learn of his determination to
leave Seaforth. He had built up a large
practice here, and was popular profes-
sionally as well as personally. While
we regret his removal from Seaforth we
hope his brightest expectations will be
more than realized by the change.

THE HURON
EX.POSITOR,
been one of the most successful. His
grit and pluck in fighting against the
"grim monster as he has done during
the pest few months, have been the
subject of comment by many in town.
In disposition he was obliging and
genial, and those with whom he came in
contact always found him courteous and
affable to a degree. Scotland ,was the
land of his birth, but he resided in Mc-
Killop for several years, where his
mother and other relatives reside. He
was a Liberal in politics, and when
able to go out he usually attended the
Methodist church. His wife and two
children survive him."
jr LIFE BOAT CREW. — The Life
Boat Crew, composed of Mr. Mills, and
Mr. and Mrs. MoDenald, concluded
their series of meetings here by a con-
cert on Wednesday evening. The meet-
ings were largely attended. The town
hall proving inadequate, Cardno's hall
had to be secured, andthis spacious
edifice was crowded each evening. The
eeveral entertainments were both inter -
()siting and profitable. Mr. Mills as an
elocutionist and forcible and eloquent
temperance speaker has lost none of his
old-time power. Mrs. McDonald, who
delivered an address each evening, is a
pleasing and fluent speaker, while her
intense earnestness captivates her audi-
ence. Mr. McDonald also does his part
well as musical leader. We have no
doubt their meetings here will be pro-
ductive of good and they should add to
the membership of the RoyalTemplars of
Temperance, under whose auspices they
were held. The closing entertainment
on Wednesday evening was well attend-
ed and was much appreciated by all
preeent. On this o melon the Crew

THE LATE CHRISTOPHER DICKSON. —
We made mention last week of the
death of Mr. Christopher Dickson, of
Clinton. The following further partic-
ulars we take from the Clinton New
Era of last week: " All mourned, but
few were surprised, at the announce-
ment on Tuesday last that the spirit of
Mr. Chris. Dickson had taken its flight.
His first introduction to this town was
several years ago, when, leaving the
teaching profession ilia McKillop, he em-
barked._ in mercantile life by buying out
the stationery stock of W. H. Ransford.
He continued in this line until a few
weeks ago, when j the business was
purchased by Cooper & Co. His health

. ANOTHER PIONEER REM0VED.—Mr.
Hugh M. Chesney, of Tuekersmith, who
has been a severe sufferer from e.ancer in
the stomach for several months, passed
away on Tuesday morning . last at the
age of 62 years. Mr. Chesney was the
last survivor of four brothers, all of
whom were settled in this vicinity and
were among our leading and best known
citizens. He -was born on Blair Farm,
Kirkmuluck Parish, 1 Wigtonshire,
Scotland, and came to Canada in 1836
when only 9 years of age, and with his
father and the other members of his
family settled in Tuckersmith in the
same neighborhood where he has ever
since resided. Of a once large family
there now only survive two sisters,
Mrs. Alex. Jamieson and Miss Chesney,
Mr Chesney was a gentleman of more
than ordinary intelligence and milt -tire,
and although he never aspired to any
public position he was always looked up
to as a man of superior parts,and had
he desired it his fellows would have
been only too glad to have placed him
in positions of honor and trust. Of
late years he made several journeys to
the old country, and it seemed to afford
him much delight to view the antiqui-
ties of the old world and associate with
those who had been the companions of
his early life. lie was a most successful
farmer, and leaves a beautiful honie and
a competency for his family, to whom he
was much devoted. His wife, two sons
and one daughter survive him to mourn
the loss of a loving husband and worthy
parent. He was a consistent member of
the Presbyterian church and an unflinch-
ing Liberal in politics.

caused by the wheel of the wagon pass-
ing over his head. He never seemed to
rally, even from the first, and finally
passed peacefully away on Saturday
forenoon. Mr. McKee was a strong,
active man and was only 46 years of age.
He was of a genial, friendly disposition,
and was a universal favorite with all
who knew him. In business he was
industrious and honest and was one of
the most successful farmers and stock
raisers in the county. In politics he
was an active and enthusiastic Conser-
vative, but had hosts of personal friends
in the ranks of both parties. His sad
and sudden death is deeply regretted by
all and is a particularly severe blow to
his bereaved wife and family, to whom
be had always been the kind husband
and beloved parent. He leaves a family
of five sons, the eldest of whom is about
22 years of age. The remains were in-

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. -04 Friday
evening last Richard McKee,' a well
known farmer on the 12th con salon of
McKillop, met with an accide t which
resulted in his death on the foliowing
day. Mr. McKee came to Se forth on
Friday with a load of produce and left
for home about six o'clock in the even-
ing. He had no loed in the Wagon and
was seated on a board acrose, the box.
He was met on the road by seiveral per-
sons who recognised and spoke to him.
Later on in the.evening his hin•ses stop-
ped at McNemara's hotel,iLeadhury,and
no person being in the vehicle the peo-
ple at the hotel immediately surmised
that something was wrong, and went
back along the road in search of the
owner. They had scarcely gone half a
mile when they found poor McKee lying
on the road, completely helpless. They
removed him to the residence of Mr.
Francis McCulla, near by, and medical
aid was sent for. On examination it
was found that his skull had been frac-
tured, there was a large scalp wound on
the back of his head, and his spinal
chord had been injured near the neck so
that his whole body was completely par-
alystd. He was, however, quite con-
scious, was able t� speak and recognised
all around him. He also told how the
accident had occurred. His wife and
several of his children had been ill for
several weeks and he had been up a great
deal at night waiting on them. He was,
THE COUNCIL AND THE PRINTING. —
EDITOR EXPOSITOR. —In your article last
week condemning, the Council. on the
printing question, you report me as not
voting, an accusation which cannot of-
ten be brought against me. There ap-
pears to be cause for complaint on be=
half of THE EXPOSITOR, and in order
that the responeibility may rest on the
right party, I wish to explain the mat-
ter as it came before the Council. On
or about the 10th of March an applica-
tion for the printing of the current year
from Mr. Neelin, of the Sun, was read.
I, with others, said it was not fair to
THE EXPOSITOR, as by custom it was the
year the printing was to be done at that
office. The Mayor explained that he had
called at Mr. McLean's office, and as he
was not in, he had left word for him to
send in a tender for the printing, and
that he had gone to the Sun office and
told Mr. Neelin to put in a tender for
the printing. On the Mayor promising
to see M. Y. MeLean about -the print-
ing, the matter was laid over for a
month. It then became necessary, to
decide the printing question, and as
nothing was heard from either the May-
or -or THE EXPOSITOR office, I was at a
loss how to -interpret it. I was going to
move an amendment that THE EXPOSI-
TOR get the printing at $85, the amount
that had been understood some time ago
as being a fair remuneration for the
printing. As no one seemed to know
whether you would accept that or not, I
let it -go by default. Yours, --JAMES
BEATTIE.
[ED. NohistIt willit be seen Mr.
Beattie admits all we charged against
the Council. As to which individual
member is most guilty, we leave them to
settle that among themselves. We are
sorry Mr. Beattie's accustomed fertility
deserted him on this occasion, else he
could very easily have framed a condi-
tional amendment which would have
met the difficulty and possibly saved all
the trouble. At any rate, it seems worse
than " Jeddard justice" to punish THE
EXPOSITOR for the over -officiousness or
neglect of the Mayor.]

morning last and was buried at MeTag-

large concourse of people followed his
remains to their last resting place. He
went to California last fall, and not be-
ing able to work much on account of
poor health, he returned this spring to
Manitoba. While there he had an at-
tack of la grippe, which developed into
a kind of chronic inflammation of the
lungs, from which he never recovered.
He reached home on Wednesday night
April 16th, and was then almost in a
dying condition, his mind feeble and
wandering and his body almost a skele-
ton. Medical aid was giddily summon-
ed but to no avail. He was 18 years
and 6 months of age and was quiet and
inoffensive. The family have the sym-
pathy of this neighborhood in their sad
bereavement.

ATTEMPTED B RGLARY. — Our vil-
lage was thrown into considerable ex-
citement this w ek when it became
known that on S turday night an at-
tempt had been ,made to burglarize
Macarthur & C.,. Bank. It appears
the burglars gain d entrance at the back
door and burst open a small safe in the
back office which they evidently suspect -
.460
ed contained mo - y, but in this they
were disappoint (1.4 They then set to
work drilling the 'main office safe but
were apparently disturbed • before they
had made much jbeadway and left hur-
riedly, leaving t eir tools behind them.
They would, however, have had a big.
contract before them, as this safe is. an
A No. 1, and would stand, in all proba-
bility, more than one night's operations.
Besides this He sail is a live place, and
our streets are Jscarcely ever deserted,
even in the nig t hours,in proof of which
some of our oung men could give
testimony.
Local, Barats.—The weather during
the past few weeks has been very favor-
able for seeding, and the farmers are
getting on rapfdly.—Some of our vil-
lagers have m de considerable headway
in the way of gardening.—Rev. J. S.
Henderson w s in Windsor this week
attending the ynod.—tdiss Henderson,
of Glenallen, a at present at the Manse,
visiting her brother.—Miss Marks, of
Bayfield, is the guest of the Misses Mor-
rison, of this lace.—Mr. D. Buchanan,
son of W. Bu hanan, Esq., J. P., of the
township of EJay, and who has proved
himself a viery successful -student at
the Guelph 4gricultural College, was
home last week on a visit.—The new
balcony on the Centennial House

Jr., of the Bensal1 planing mills.—Mr.
Wm. Welsh has sold his fine village lots
on the corn r of Queen and Nelson
streets to Mr. George Brown, of the
firm of Brown & Clark, and we have no
doubt Mr. !Brown will, in course of a
Wroxeter.
CHURCH NOTE5. —It is understood
that Rev. Mr. Smith, of the Methodist
church here, will leave at the end of his
term in June next. Mr. Smith is a
_popular, zealous and euergetic minister,
and his people will lose him with regret.
—The Young People's Society of Chris-
tian Endeavour in connection with the
Presbyterian Church is proving a -euc-
cess. The meetings held every Monday
evening, are largely ,attended.—Pour
new eiders are to be elected. in !the
Presbyterian church on the first Sunday
in May.
POLITICAL.—The question as to
whether or not we are to have a contest
in the East Riding for the local Legisla-
ture is agitating some of our politicians
at the present time. The indications
would seem to be in favor of the -view
that the Conservatives are not going to
bring out a candidate, for reason e best
known to themselves. However, there
is plenty of time for a declaration of war
to be made from that side, and it would
alniost be a pity should we be deprived
of the excitement of an election, which
comes only once in a few years to re-
lieve the monotony of rural life.
Kippen,
CHANGE.—Mr. Watson, from Clinton,
intends running 11. Schafer's hotel,_ as he
has leased it for a term of years and in-.
tends moving into it in about a couple of
w_eeki.
REVIVAL MEETINGS.—AS announced
in last week's issue, Miss Williams con-
ducted service in the Methodist ehurch
here last Sabbath forenoon and evening.
Such crowds were never known to as-
semble there on any previous occasion,
many being unable to gain admittance.
Much interest was manifested in the
services, and announcements were made
for services during the week. On Mon-
day morning Miss Williama received a
despatclemaying her sister was dying
and calling her home at once. Although
much disappointment was felt the meet-
ings are still being carried on under the
leadership of the pastor, Rev. E. A.
Fear, with a very fair attendance, and
good is being accomplished. Miss Wil -
Heins may return and complete her en-
gagement here, but as yet no definite
word has been received from her. ,
Bayfield.
A CORDIAL INVITATION is extended
to all, whether they purchase or not, to call
and inspect the new spring goods at 11. F.

Outs tDoohon.—Dr. Wright, successor
to Dr. Nichol, is working up an excel-
lent practice and is proving & most
worthy acquisition to Bayfield. There
is now no need whatever of going to out-
side towns to secure medical attendance,
and we now have a. skilled practitioner
able to perform the most difficult oper-
ations, and who is fast gaining the es-
teem and confidence of the public.
CLEAN U. ---Now is the time for our
citizens to see to the cleaning up of their
premises. By a little labor we could
have one of the neatest and healthiest
little towns the -sun shines on. Every
new visitor admits that there is a charm
about Bayfield beyond expression. By
cleaning up and clearing away 'some of
the old rubbish people will have a still
better opinion of Bayfield.
SOCIAL.—On Friday evening last the
Royal Templars had a box social, when
a most enjoyable time was spent, and
there was any amount of fun over the
bananas, pancakes, and other good things
provided. There is some talk of an open
lodge meeting soon being held when out-
siders may go and get a glimpse :of the

friends.—The ordination of elders is to
take place in Union Church next Sab-
bath morning at the 11 o'clock service.

order of the day now in our enterpris-

that it was their spring house-cleaning
that caused the upheaval.—The

Brussels.
' ROBBICRY.—On. Monday night the shop
of W. Nightingale & Co, was broken
into by some persons, and a large quan-
tity of silk goods, handkerchiefs,gloves,
hosiery, braces, and other small goods
were taken. The entrance was effected -
by a window in the rear, it being pried -
up by a horse rasp which was entered
under the window, and an inch block of
wood, used as a lever, which started
the fastening, and the window was easily
raised. The goods were renioved by the
side door, which was locked, but the -
key remained in it inside. No clue has
been got to the parties only that there
were two suspicious perpons in town the
morning before. They were standing at
Queen's comer at 6 a.m., and staid
--'around until the &elm were opened,.
when they bought some bread and can-
ned goods at George Thomsontaand two
pounds of steak from A. Currie, They
were strangers, and very suspicious -
looking ones, from their appearance and
actions. After they got these articles
they walked out over the bridge, but
were again seen by some of the citizens •
in the es -ening on the street. It is sup-
posed they had a rig out someplace, and
probably another confederate and were !,
boarding themselves as they passed
through the country. There is very lit-
tle doubt but those are the parties, and
neighboring towns should be on the
look out. They are of medium size and
age, one a little stouter than the other,
one with a moustache the other •
clean shaven, and both had their hair
very closely cut, and wore brownish col-
ored clothes and hats, but as there WAS
ready made clothing in Nightingale's
they may have got new snits. The one
with a moustache is dark complexioned.
'The other is inclined to be of sandy
complexion, and bot$: have the appear-
ance of being toughs;
Belgrave.
