DISTRICT MATTERS.
A DISPUTED POINT. -It is dlaimed by
some that wheat will,not turn into chess.
Mr, Thomas Dinsdale, of Stanley, one
of the oldest and best farmers of this
c °linty, does net agree with this theory.
He has shown us a sample of whet
grown on the farm of Mr. .John Johne,
-Tuckeremith, in, which there is•a liberal
'sprinkling of both chess and rye. The
"seed from which this grain was grown
was perfectly clean and free from foreign
seeds, while the land was alai thorough,-
ly elean. Mr. Dinsdele says that owing
to some climatic influence the seed ker-
nels turn into rye and the rye into
o hese, and in proof of this he says that
he has taken both rye and chess .kernels
from wheat heads, thus showing that
they are all produced from the same
aeed. This is a subject which might be
eliscussed at Farmers' Institutes with
profit.
ARMY NOTES. -Capt. Mary Branni-
lean and Lieut. Lizzie Brannigan, sisters
of Capt. Brannigan, of this town, are at
present here on -a rest. We hope that
the change will prove beneficial. -On
Wednesday evening the second musical
..and spiritual meeting was held in the
barracks here. There was a large turn-
out, and everything was carried out sue-
oessfully. These meetings are very in•
-Attractive and entertaining. On next
Wednesday evening they will hold an-
other of these meetings. The subject
will be "A man will talk on his head."
A good programme will be got up for
the occasion. -On the 21st inst. a series
-of special revival meetings will be start
434 in the barracks, which will continue
until the 31st inst. These meetings
will be led by Brigadier Philpott and
wife, of the London Division of the
Salvation Army. -The quartette club
of the Seaforth corps is a good one, and
well worth hearing. It is composed of
Capt. Brannigan, Lieut. LeDrew, Bert.
Brett, and Johmetlabkirk with banjo.
During the Lieutenant's absence her
place will be taken by Lieut. Brannigan.
THE PUBLIC ScmeoL.-The following
is a statement of the average attendance
in -each of the departments of the Sea -
forth Public School for the month of
February Mr. McFaul's, 39; Miss A.
Cowan's, 49; MiesKate Cowan's, 53;
Miss Elder's, 49; Mies Killoran's, 55 ;
Miss Annie Watton's, 55; Mrs. Camp-
bell's, 50; Miss Bethune's, 43; Mrs.
Coulter's, 50, -making a total average
attendance for the month of 443. At a
meeting of the Trustee Board beld on
Friday evening a very comprehensive
report from Inspector Robb, who had
recently examined each department,
was read. From this. report we teke
the following 'extras: "1 found the
order in all the rooms to be very good,
-in Mr. McPaul's it was excellent.
The teaching I found to be very super-
ior. All,the teachers appear to be doing
good work. Everything works as regu-
larly and smoothly. as clock work ;
hurry dr unnecessary display, but every-
-thing well done. It is needless to say
that Mr. McFaul is an excellent Princi-
pal. The Board is to be congratulated
on having Mrs. Coulter in charge of the
junior room. Her tact, patience,energy
and kindly feeling towards the children
seems unbounded and well worthy of
recognition, not only by the Board but
ley the town. Seaforth has good reason
to be proud of its public school." The
Inspector also recommended that the
school be dismissed each day at half -
past three, and that delinquents be de-
tained till four, the teachers to remain.

ing registers, class books, &c., and the

DEATH OF AN OLD PIONEEA.-Ori Wed-
nesday the 4th day of March, John
Robertson, of the 13th concession, one
the the oldest residents in the township,
departed thialife at the advanced age of
80 years. His death was very unex-
pected to the community, as he had
been about as usual shortly before his
decease. The cause of his death was
heart trouble. He was born near Blair,
*thole, Perthehire, Scotland, in June
1810, and came to Canada in 1847. He
came to Guelph, where he engaged as
fdreman with a business firm for a num-
ber of years, in the meantime taking up
land in sFullarton township, Perth
county. his he disposed of and came
west with the tide of emigration that
was moving to the Huron, tract, and took
up the present farm in this township, 36
years ago, and some few years later was
married to his now bereft partner. He
was much respected by all who knew
him. He was a Reformer'and belonged
to the old establised church of Scotland.
He retained his faculties to the . end and
died in the full assurance of faith. His
remains were interred in Brussels ceme-
tery, a large number followed them
there. His wife and all his family, four
sons and one daughter, survive him to
mourn the loss of a faithful husband and
kind father.
and discharged his duties' in his usually
pleasing and able manner and to the
satisfaction of all.
NOTES FROM AN OCCASIONAL.-WIn.
Taylor & Sons, of Clinton, have opened
out a branch store in Hensel', with
Jacob Taylor in charge. They seem to
have a fine new stock of shoes and
groceries. -Rev. Messrs. Cook and
Casson expect to fully close their re-
vival services this week. About ten
new seekers of religion were forward on
Sunday evening. The meetings are in-
tensely interesting, and every encour-
agement to the church and pastors. We
may be able to give the exact number
of couverts received into the church
next week. -Quite a few people ship
from Hansen for the States and Mani-
toba every week. It seems too bad to
see so many of our people leaving for
Uncle Sam's domains.
Brussels.
BRIEFS. -Things are quiet this week
after the olectiomand before long every-
body will settle down to business as if
an election never had been held. -
Beatty Brothers haye let the contract
for the stonework of their new livery
stable to Mr. George Robb, and the
brickwork to Mr. John Pugh. They
are going to do the carpenter work by
day work. -Mr. Strachan has removed
to his new stand in Graham's block, and
Mr. James Ballantyne is again at the
egg business in the old place. -Mr.
Thomas McLachlan, at his sale, sold his

Innis, the owner of the other half ; he

jority of 46 votes for Dr. McDonald;
every place in East Huron gave a ma-
jority for the doctor except Howick,
and in Wet Huron every place but
Goderich township gave a majority for
Mr. Cameron. The old man will have
to put those two township e together and
make a Tory hive of them if he expects
to get a member from Huron again and
yet it is doubtful, as Free Trade has
come to stay in the West. -Mr. John
E. Smith, of Brandon Manitoba, was

played between Harlock and Leadbury,
on the grounds of the latter, on Friday
evening, 6th inst. The game was com-
menced about 5 o'clock p. no, and lasted
one hour. Some very good playing was
done on both sides, but on account of
Leadbury taking in Outsiders, which our
boys did not expect, they were defeated
by two goals to none. Harlock boys
complained of being weed rather mean
by their opponents, on account of hav-
ing to wait while Leadbury took rigs
to gather up their players. The return
match will soon be played at Harlock.

ers of Court Ivy Green, of this village,
held their annual concert on Tuesday
evening last, on which occasion there
was a very good attendance. The pro-
gramme of the evening was an excellent
one, and reflected alike credit on those
t
who carried it oIt and the enterprise of
the Foresters i securing such good
talent. The Ex ter Orchestra delighted
ill with their sweet music, and, as the
ehairman remarked, a great many bands
in Toronto and other cities, making a
great deal more pretention, could not
equal then. Th comic songs of Mr.
Shane, of Blyt , were very good and
were loudly enc ored, and a pleasing
feature of the songs was this, that while
they were amusiteg,in fact,side-splitting,
I
theie was riothi g bordering on course
nese as is sometin es the case in comic
songs. Mrs. G uld, of London, who
was also at the lest concert, fully sus-
tained her repullation as an impressive
and excellent elocationist, and her eaeh
selection called for an enchore. The

Club also added

had time and again to
res. While the musical
rogramme was thus
so well sustained, the literary part was
equally good. The Rev. J. S. Cook, of
thie place, a bro her Forester, and mem-
leer of Court IvyI Green, gave an excel-
lent address setting forth the origin and
e,
Working of the order, and the good it
