EGMONDVILLE LAC OSSISTS.—A well
attended and enthusieetie meeting of the
lacrosse players of Eg ' ondville was held
on Wednesday venin4 for the purpose
of re -organizing for tIiis seasons cam-
--pitign. The following cfEcers were elect-
ed : Honorary Presi ent, George E.
l
Jackson • Honorary iVice-President,
Jacob McGee; Presideet, W. McDou-
_ gad' ; Vice -President, IR. E. Jackson;
Captain, F. Dorsey; SecretanyeTreasii-
-rer W.Elliott ; Committee, F. -Weiland,
C. kruse, W. Calleghan, J. Jackson,
J. Ferguson; H. Jackson was appoint-
ed Field Captain. It i was decided to
iced" the club "The Shemrocks," and. to
enter the competition for the flags.
Tnet CONGERT.—The concert in aid of
the Mechanics' Institute, on Friday
-evening laat, was fairly well attended,
considering the rough and unfavorable
!nether. The concert on the whole
was a very good one. The singing of
Maggie Barr was rea ly excellent, her
-rendering of The Land o' the Leal"
being alone Well wo th the price of
admission to hear it. She is a splendid
ainger of Scottish slangs ; she enters
thoroughly into the spirit of her selec-
tion, articulates plai ly and does the
Scottish dialect correc ly and naturally.
Mr, Edward Walsh, in his first appear-
ance before -a Seafortle audience, won
much favor, and he bids fair to become
a popular singer. He has a clear, sweet,
-powerful voice, and wel are sure that all
who listened to him Friday night will be
pleased to hear him again. Mr. George
ni`leott and Mr. John Murray, in their
comicalities, brought down the house
every time. The quarrttes by Mr. and
Mrs. Bright and Mies Killoran and Mr.
•James Scott, were 'w ll rendered and
were very pleasing to t e audience. Mr.
-Crawford gave an exce lent reading, and
the chairman, Dr. Oar pbeil,recited the
Bettie of Killicrankie n excellent style.
The Ocarina ' duette, by the McLeod
Brothers, were among he most pleasing
features of the enteetainment. The
music produced on th' se novel instru-
ments is sweet and clear and they
were skilfully piaye4l. Mies Ewing
and Miss Brett presided at the piano and
played the accompaniments. The en- .
teetainment fully justified the expecte-,
tions formed of it, and netted about $201
lot the Institute after paying all ex -1
p nses. .
TIIE MILLINERY IOPENINGS.—The
several millinery establishments in Sea -
forth had their opening da.ye on Friday
and Saturday last. The weather was
anything but favorable for the occasion,
but notwithstanding this drawback a
large number of the ladies both from
town and country, being unable no
doubt to resist the temptation, braved
the storm and- mud to come out and see
the numerous nice things on exhibition.
We are sure they were well repaid for
their time and trouble, as a finer display
of millinery goods than was on exhibition
at the establishments of Messrs. Mc-
Faul, Duncan, Pickard and Hoffman,
was never seen in Seaforth before, and
that is saying a good deal. The estab-
lishments of Seaforth have a wide and
enviable reputation for the variety,
style and excellence of their millinery
goode, and as a result they annually
draw a large patronage not alone from
their own immediate sphere of custom -
ere, but attract patronage fro= other
towns and villages, and some from ?on-
siderable distances. The &di -actions
this year being even- greater than ever
'before, we have no doubt but the repu-
tation of Seaforth as a great emporium
for millinery goods will be increased
and the trade of our millinery houses
correspondingly enlarged. In no; place
outside of the large cities can 'better
satisfaction be got than in Seaforth,
while here better goods can be obtained
for less money than in the large and
more pretensious city establishments.
Hunan STEDENTS.—We are pleased
to observe that the young men of Huron
have taken good rank, in many instances
taking a foremost position, at the spring
-.examinations of the various institutions
of learning which they are attending.
In the first piece we notice that Mr. J.
D. Edgar, son of Mr. James Edgar, of
Ifowick, and Mr. D. M. Buchanan, a
rative of Usborne, have both graduated
at Knox College Toronto, with honors,
each taking' a scholarship. Mr. J. W.
McMillan, although strictly speaking, is
not a Huron boy, many Huron people
will be pleased to learn that he has
graduated at the same institution, and
has taken a scholarship. In the depart-
ment of medicine "our boys" have
been as succeesful as in Divinity. At
Trinity University, for the degree of M.
C. M., Mt, Charles McKay, of Sea -
forth, and Mr R. Knechtel, of Brussels,
passed with fist class honors. while Mr.
el. W. Shaw, of Brussels and Mr. J. J.
Denby, formerly of S-aforth, passed
-with second ciass honors. At the Fel-
lowship examtnation at Trinity Medical
College, Mr. McKay passed his final ex-
amination, wtnning the gold medal;
Messrs. Kneel -4e' and Shaw had a stand-
ing of over 75 per cent., taking first
class and certificate of honor, while Mr.
Denby had a standing of over 70 per
Dent, in the first class. The very high
--litanding taken by these young men is
all the more creditable to dem in view
of the fact that they have all had to
work their own way and have secured
their education through their own ex-
ertions, and the pluck and _industry
which have enabled them, unaided, to
reach not only succeas, but high Col-
legiate honors, will stand them in good
stead'in aiding them to secure equally
creditable positions in the ranks of the
profeesions they have chosen. We con-
gratulate our young friends on their
well deserved success, and we hope their
futures will be useful and brilliant,
and that they- will- yet adorn the pro-
fessions of their choice.
MORE GOOD STOCK.—Quite a number
of the stock breeders of. this vicinityrat-
tended the auction sale of thoroughbred
Durhams, made by Mr. J. S. Smith, of
Maple Lodge, McGillivray, het week,
and as a result several valuable animals
have been added to Huron's already fine
collection. Mr. David Milne, of Ethel,
bought a cow and calf for $120; also a
two year old heifer 1for $96; Mr. Wm.
Chapman, of Tuckersmith, near Bruce -
field, bought a ten months' Old red
bull, for $119, and a two year old heifer
for $67; Mr. Duncan McLaren, of
Glenquaich farm, Hibbert, bought a
two Year old heifer for $76 Mr. David
Hill, another well-known ifibbert stock
breeder, bought a yearling heifer for
$46; this is a full sister of the two year
old boright by Mr. Milne. Mr., Smith
has one of the best herds of short horns
in the Province, and we believe all of the
above gentlemen have made good pur-
chases and have got animals that will
make valuable additions to their already
good herds.

RENNAWAY. —Mr. and iMrs. Ivison
had the misfortune of a rcinneway .last
Saturday. While on their way to •
Hensail, their horse took fright at a
pile of wood on the road, and turning
round, threw them both out. Mr.
Ivison had several ribs broken, and got
a general shaking up. Mrs. Ivison
escaped with a bruised wrist, and a
severe nervous shock. The simpleton
who put the wood on the road for con-
venience, has piled it up a little farther
off. It is a marvel this is the first acci-
dent. Hundreds of horses have shied
at the same place. If our pathmastere
had any life in themthey would teach
people that roads were made for traffic
and passengers,not for woodyards. From
Hensel' to Zurich one has to pass 33
wood piles of various sizes, placed for
convenience on the road side.

A short time ago it was antiotince,n
one of- our advertisements that morn
particulars would, be given later in Tee
erence to our Dress and Mantle Making -
Department.
Here are the particulars:
Our Dress and Mantle Rooms aremove
open, and in charge of one who under-
stands her business in all its details,
from "measure to finish," a thoroughly
competent lady in the person of Mae
Nahrgang, who is at present busy la
bringing out new ideas in costumes and
wraps for the Spring and Summer wear.
To be sure, Dame Fashion has long ere -
this, heralded abroad her decisions aa‘
to what will be the correct styles for
the season, but any artist of prominence
has more or less originality of theirown,
and this is just now being brought into
play by our lady in charge. Sometime&
ladiee have certain "crude ideas" which
they wish to have developed in their -
Dress or Mantle, and it is in the effort -
to please these " would be designers,'
and at the same time to produce gar-
ments which will be becoming and.
acceptable, that the first-elass dress-
maker shows her ability as an artist.
We have much pleasure in introducing
Miss Nahrgang to the ladies of Seaforth-
and vicinity, and in doing so feel satis-
fied that any orders placed in her charge
will be attended to in a professional
manner.
A word now about our Dress Goods:
We haee lately added several new
things, and our stock now comprises
Henriettas, Tamise Cloths, Cheviots,
and other popular weaves. Greys and
Fawns, however, are the most astractive
as to novelty effects, and seldom has the
array of patterns from which to select
been so comprehensive and striking as
this season, Serges, Diagonals, Stripes,.
Plaids, Dot and Ball figures and small
checks are prominent among the latest,
novelties.- Call and see our selections.
We think you will be pleased with the'
goods, and we know you will be pleased,
with the prices.
