beneficeary fund, from which membera
are provided with a safe and reliable;
life insurance at the lowest cost consistent
with safety to those interested, From
the interest shown by those who have
become members of the Seaforth circle;
there is every reason to believe that the !
new organization is likely to meet with
considerable favor here, Ladies are
admitted as well as gentlemen, and will
no doubt add a social charm to the
meetings. Life insurance for ladies is a
new and popular feature in this order,
-which has, during the last few years, be-
come most popular in Ontario. The

CAmt•DELL VS.' SCOTT..—This case,
which he of some local interest, got an
other airing in the courts at Toronto a
few days ago. It will be remembered
the Defendant, Scott, got an order
for his examinatien before trial reversed
on appeal before Justice Falconbridge.
if he plaintiff, appealing against this de-
cision, this appeal was heard in the Di-
visional Court before Chief Justice Galt
and Justice Rose. The following refer-
ence to this appeal is made in the Court
reports " Judgment on appeal by the
pleintiff from an order of Falconeridge,
J., in chambers, reversiog an order of
the master in chambers, allowing the
plaintiff to examine the defendant for
di novery before delivery of the 'state-
ment of claim. The action was for
slander, the werds imputed to the de-
fendant charging the plaintiff, who is a
physician, with malpractice. The court -
held that the question, at what stage of
the cause should an examination for dis-
covery be permitted, was a question of
tconvenience, and that the examination
songht in this case was in the interests
of justice and should he allowed under
rule 566. Appeal allowed with costs to
the plaintiff in any event." Mr. Gar -
row, of Goderich is the Solicitor for Dr.
Scott, and Mr. Stanley Hays, of this
town, for Dr. Campbell. The procuring
of such an order from the courts is a
very rare proceeding, and the success
which has attended Mr. Hay's efforts, as
well as skill and acumen with which
he has managed his case, shows him to
abnepossiei sed of high legal knowledge
dab
ty, and to be a match for his
older an more experienced opponent.
• CUR' IING.—A rink match for the St.
Marys 11ankard was recently completed
by our urling Club. The match was
finally on by Mr. A. Wilson's rink.
The individual members of the rink
then pleyed off with three pairs of
st nes, the longest liver to hold the
%i
ta kard for this year. Dr. Tweddle
can e out champion in this contest, and
is,consequently, the holder of the
tankard.—The three pairs of stones
competition for the Seaforth Tankard,
and played for by all the members of
the club, was finally narrowed down to
Mr. William Pickard and Mr. Alex,
Wilson. These gentlemen played off on
M nda,y, Me. Pickard comiug out vice
to ious by one shot, and consequently
ha the honor of holding the tankerd
fo this Year,—The point game is still to
be played. The club have not had many
oa side matches this year, but they have
had lots; of fun among themselves, and
the game has been more popular this
winter than ever before, The ice is
still in good condition, and the boys
would like to try their metal with some
outside clubs before it breaks up. Who
wi I be the first to "tread on the tail of

:A if,EASA NT EVENT. —A correspond-
ent f om Blenheim Township, Oxford
coun y, says: I beg space in your
• ostee ed jourrtal to put on record one
of th most interesting events that has
occur ed in this neighborhood for some
time. , The occasion was a sort of fare-
well 1 arty and presentation to Henry
Waters, Esq., who is about to leave'
this eicinity and take up his abode in
Seafo th. Mr. Waters has been a iesi-
dent if this place for some forty-eight
long years. Ahcordingly, when he in -
time ed his int ntion of leaving us, an
itsaminse a8senjblage of his old neigh-
bors gathered into his residence on
Wed esday evenitig, 4th inst., and pre-
pare' to do him honor. • Robert Mc-
Grew was Bppoin bed chairman and pre-
-8ided throughout the evening with his
usual tact and good humor. Rev. Mr.
Beatt e, the esteemed pester of our hoat,
read long and complimentary address,
after which Walter Edmiston, a ven-
erabl old neighbor, presented Mr.
Wate s with a beautiful goldtheaded
ebone cane, bearing the following in-
scription: "Presented to H. Waters,
by hie Blenheim friends, March, 1891."
Mr. Waters is a man of considerable'
nerve but his quivering lip indicated an
emotien very difficult to contend with,
However, he nienaged in a few singular-
ly appropriate words to express his
heartfelt thapl4e, and with characteristic
frankness inti ated that he was being
too highly h nored, as he • had never
done anything but his simple duty. The
chairman then called upon all the gen-
tlemen present to make a ,few remarks,
or sing a song. Some took advantage
of the latter offer, but the majority
held forth at rate that clearly stamp-
ed this part ox the programme as "a
flow ef soul or feast of reason." A
sumptuous tea, was next disposed of,after
whicii the young people,taking advantage
of their host's good humor, induced him
to allew them o "trip the light fantas-
tic fok a spell, ' while the mild folks fell
into politics ad disposed of the N. P.
and U. R. a suited their respective
creed. Mr. 1ditor, such gatheringil as
the above are f more than ordinary in-
tereet. In faiji they will soon be looked
i
upon as 'a in tter of historieal impor-
tance, becanselin our boot and his aged
neighbors and Compaiiione we are priv-
ileged to look Upon perhaps the most in•
teresting classj of people that will ever
be seen in Caneida, viz.: our pioneere,—
men who first saw this country as a
howling wildeft. new's, but whose strong
arms and brav hearts failed not until
they had brought it into its present
fair Condition. But they are wearing
fast away, and the privilege of convers-
ing with one i)f those noble, sterling
pioneer fathers or mothers will ere long
be past. While we have them, let us
honor them. 1= am sure you will join me
-in wishing Mr. Waters many happy days
around your town, with his cane,—A
GUEST. [Mr, Waters has taken up his
abode in E mondville. We have
pleasure in welcoming him to our midst,
and we hope h will long be spared to
go Out and in mong us,- Eta]

Our Millinery Opening
We have now been in Seaforth 'for
several years and most of you have seen,
some, or it may be, all of our elegant
shows upon opening days. But few,
however, are aware of the long, tedious
hours of labor entailed upon the assist-
ants, and the amount of damage done te
the goods in making these variety ex.
hibitions.
You have seen the graceful hangings
of Plushes,,Silks and Satins—you have
seen the net work of Ribbons and Laces
suspended from the ceiling, and the
walls decorated with flowers and beautit
ful trimmings, all beautiful to look at,
but that was on the opening days,
Could you but take a look behind the
scene after the opening was overt tile
picture would not be quite so enchant -
i
ing. You may not have though of it
this way before, but experience mer-
chants know well, that, when these deli.
+sate goods are taken from their folds,
cards or boxes, they loose their fresh
-
nese, and in many cases become subse-
quently almost unsaleable.As itisourde-
sire to have constan tan tly the choicestand
freshest goods for our customers, we in-
tend for the present to cease from our
;usual elaborate decorations, and give
i
our particular attention to a first-class
show of Trimmed Millinery, which after
all is the prime object to every lady on
opening day,
When It Will Be.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
April 2nd, 3rd and 4th, our Trimmed
Millinery will bo'open to the public for
inspection. We shall make a very fine
display of hats and bonnets, all ready to
look into our large mirror. Tho shapes
and styles will be the latest and the
materials particulerly good. Flowers
will be Seen in almost every variety,and
the Mien roses, dahlias, and forget-me-
nots, will predominate. Ribbons in
gold and silver tinsel effects will be
used largely, laces will also have
their say as well ae pearls,' beads, span-
gles and ornaments. We have a very
choice lot of goods in store for you, and
our windows, shelves and oounters will
be well filled. There will be no famine
as far as goods are cSncerned. The
tables will be loaded, and upon extend-
ing a cordia invitation to all, we may
add that it will be NO HALF SHOW,
we are asking you to- come and see. All
welcome.

cattle in. On adcount of the storm,
however, the mail between Dublin and
Staffs did not go out that day, and con-
sequently the parties did not get their
cards, and took the cattle to Seaforth
on Monday, as agreed upon, but they
were greatly disappointed at not meet-
ing the purchaser of the cattle and had
to take them home again. On hearing
of their diaappointment, however, and

them, he called on them all, paid for

trip and had them delivered at Seaforth
again on Thursday, when they were
shipped.
—Knox Presbyterian church, St.
Marys, was burned Monday morning.
The fire was first noticed at about 7
o'clock, in the basement. Through
negligence of those in charge,both steam
and hand engines were out of order and
refused to work, and the magnificent
edifice was totally destroyed before the
eyes of hundreds without the first
particle of water being thrown upon it.
The fire originated from the furnace,
and must have been smouldering nearly
all night. The building is insured in
the Western for 55,000, and the loss is
estimated at about 815,000.
