NOT CORRECT. —One a a+ last week, a little lad, son of Mr. Jon NcMann, who was attending Eg on ville school was sent homeby the teacher, who sent AL note with him to his parental explain- ing that the boy was afflicted; with 'a contagious skin diseaseland asking them to keep him from school uet til he re- covered. This annoyed Mrs. McMann , not a little, and ehe took the:boy to a doctor and had him examined and got the following certificate, which she *jibes us to publish: "Seaforth , March 20th 1891. I hereby certify that Allan McMann is not suffering from Scabies neither from any other contagi- ous disease. From his personal con- dition there is no reason whatever why he should bedenied admission to school. —DR. FERGUSON."

It is just ebout four weeks trine° the Poet Offies dare of Mrs, R, Mellis Was enter- ed by burglars, and on Monday morning about 2 o'clock,* repition of the ne- farlous work was made. Before pro- cooding with their work the modals evidently visited the shops of the vil- lage, and having secured the required Weis, they, after an unsuccessful at- tempt to force the front door, secured an entrance by forcing the window on the south side of the building. The ob- ject of their visit pb,h2ly was money, and they set to work on the splendid safe which is kept for the safe keeping of express and other matter in connec- tion with the business. A bole was drilled in close proximity to the combi- legion lock in the door, a fuse and a large quantity of ooarse powder was in- serted and set off. But for some reason, the explosion did not take place, and the next move was to smash the com- • bination with a sledge hammer. This brought the heavy door to open. Three or four dollars in oash and some under- clothing and socks constituted the booty. This is the fourth store burglary in the short space of two and a half years in this village, and our citizens have now onme to the conclusion that this work must be stopped at all hazards. Well - armed night watchmen are -now on duty, and any one contemplating pay- ing our village a nocturnal visit with such an object in view would do well to _count the cost, as all intruders will be shot down like dogs,without a moment's warning. This seems rather strong language for a South Huron correspond- ent, but there are times when "patience ceases to be a virtue," and the idea of self preservation rises above all else. • Hibbert.

Mr. Sage and family renioved to Wal- ton twenty-three years ago that even- ing, and their kindness and hospitality have won for them a warm place in the affections of the traveling public as well as with their neighbors and numerous friends here. To celebrate this event, and in recognition of the kindness of Mrs. and Miss Sage in coming to Sea - forth on different occasions to assist the band, the members of the band and a number of friends drove to Walton on the above named evening. It is need- less to say that they were kindly re- ceived and hospitably welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Sage and family. The even- ing was an eminently musical one. Mrs. Sage gave several selections on the musical -bottles, which are as novel and equally as pleasant musical mediums as the celebratea musical glasses. The Misses Sage also charmed the hearts of all with their accomplished perform- ances on the piano and violin. The Sages are pre-eminently a musical family. The band also gave several of their choicest selections, while individual • members sustained their reputation as voealists. The company were entertain- ed at a most sumptuous supper provided by the worthy hostess. The evening wa* ono long to be remembered by all pre ent, and came to a close all too soon, and the visitors were loud in their prai es of the genial and hospitable kin nese of the Sage family. • . ; Rensall. 1.)ED ABROAD. —Ella, beloved wife of Mr. James Reath, died on the 23rd of March, aged :30 year., 10 months and 18 days, at Moodyville British Columbia.

Our Millinery Opening We have now been in Seedprth for everal years and most of you gave sem some, or it may be, all of our elegent, shows upon opening days. But few,, however, are aware of the long, tedious hours of labor entailed upon the assist- ! ants, and the atnount of damage done to the goods in making these variety ex., hi b4toiuo t. have seen the graceful hanginge of Plushes, 'Silks and Satins—you have seen the net work of Ribbons und;zurces • suspended from the ceiling, and tbe. walls decorated with Holten; and beauti- 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 over, the - picture would not be quite so enchant- ing. You may not have thought of ft this way before, but experienced mer- chants know wen, that when these deli- ca-te goods are taken frem their folds, cards or boxes, they loose their fresh- ! nesf3, and in many cases become subtle- quently almost unsaleable,As itisourde- isire to have constantan tly the choicestamt freshest goods for our customers, we in- tend for the present to -cease frem our - usual elaborate decorations, and •give our particular attention to a first-class show of Trimmed Millinery, which after ail is the prime object to every lady on opening day.

Torn, Public School Inspector, paid our school an official visit on Tuesday last, and expressed himself as well pleaeed with the progress the scholars were making, which is alike creditable to teachers and taught. In the evening, Mr. Tom delivered an inetructive and interesting lecture on the subjeet of " Education." The attendance on the occasion was large, and the lecture, and - also the musical and literary entertain- ment as given by the echolars, was ex- cellent and much enjoyed by all present. The Rev. J. 8. Henderson, of Cermet Presbyterian church, occupied the chair, and at the close of the lecture made as few remarks, in which he complimented the lecturer on the excellent address he - hid given and the right ring it had as - touching the importance of moral train-. ins and a good example _always being, set by the teacher, also as to the im- pqrtance of cultivating and encouraging,. the children to make choice' of good literature only, and to give the col& shoulder to trashy and sensational. beoks. The lecture should hie a good influence in the community. - Sta111.43Y. OBITUARY.—Death still continues to reap his harvest of old residents and pioneers.
