DISTRICT MATTERS.
• LARGE LIFE INSURANCE INVESTMENT.
-We hear that the Rev. Dr. Ure, of
Goderich, has effected an insurance
with the Standard Life Assurance Com-
pany, of Scotland, making a - single
premium -payment of $11,579, and
seeuring an annuity to himself and Mrs.
17re during their lives. Now that the
Dr. has secured an annuity, may he like
other annutants have a long and peace-
ful life. Mr. Efolmested is the agent in
Seaforth for the Company, which is one
of the oldest and wealthiest companies
doing life insurancelbusiness.
ILLNESS OF MR. ADAMSON.-Many of
our readers will deeply regret to learn
-of the very serious illness of Mr. Peter
_Adamson, County Clerk of Huron. Mr.
_Adamson has not been enjoying robust
health for a year or more, but has been
ble to attend to business most of the
ime until within a few weeks. For the
et two weeks he has been confined to
d, and latest accounts assure ns that
hs physicians have little if any hopes
fc his recovery. Partial paralysis of
-th spine is supposed to be his ailment.
Mr. Adamson is a special favorite with
.all who know him, and all will sincerely
hope that, despite the present unfavor-
able symptoms, he will yet recover and
.continue for many years to faithfully
_serve the public in the position which
he has so long and so efficiently filled.

Onintieler.-It is with feelings of the
-deepest regret that we have to record
the death in Seaforth of Mr. Bartliff,
which took place at the residence of his
non, Mr. Charles Bartliff, on Tuesday,
-the 7th inst., at the age of 69 years, 1
month and 5 days. Mr. Bartliff had
been in poor health for some time, still
no imminent danger was anticipated un-
til within a few days of his demise. He
was a gentleman possessed of many
amiable qualities, and his death is much
regretted by those who hsd the pleasure
of his, acquaintance. He was the fourth
son of the latei Robert Bartliff, Esq.,
3klalton, Yorkshire, England; was mar-
ried to Miss Scott, daughter of John
Scott, Esq., Whitehall House, Melton.
Ile °erne to this country in the year
1853. They had a family of eight
children, of whom only three remain,
two sons and one daughter, who with
his widow are left to mourn his death.
Rune ewe v. onsiderable excitement
-was occasioned esterday afternoon by a
runaway. Mr. George Whiteley and
Mr. Thomas La slie started to Brussels.
Mr. Whiteley we driving his handsome
young stallions in a light buggy, and
Mr. Leptis was leading another stallion
behind the buggy. A few minutes after
they started the horse that was being
led jumped on the buggy, throwing Mr.
Whiteley out, and upsetting the rig.
This started the team and in some way
.or other they got turned round and
made for home. They ran, down Main
street to the station, turned up by the
freight house an came back around by
the market tow rds Main street again,
when they were caught at Mr. Willis'
corner. The buggy was considerably
broken but the horses were net injured
.and further than receiving I a mud
bath Mr. Whiteley was none the
worse for his unpleasant mishap. He
hitched up the horses to another rig and

after.

THE AT ROME. -The At Home, given
by the teachers of the Presbyterian
Sabbath school and the Christian 'En-
deavor Society, in the basement of the
Church on Wednesday evening, was a
ammonia every respect. The occasion
was the annual meeting of the teachers
I and a welcome to p&v. J. W. McMillan;
who 'will be Mr.McDonald's assistant
durin the summer months. After the
busin es of the teachers had been com-
pleted an interesting programme of vocal
and imistrumental music was given, and
refreshments were served by young
ladierrduring the etiening. The base-
ment 'eves nicely decorated with ever -
gree ne and flowers; and presented a very
pretty appearance. The chair was oc-
cupied by the pastor, Rev. A. D. Mc-
Donald, who preformed the duties of
that Cam in his usual genial manner.
The attendance was large and was not
only eomposed of members of the con-
gregation, but other denomination_s
were well represented.
THE HIGIII COURT. -The High Court
of Juice opened at Goderich on Mon-
day heat, Mr. Justice Falconbridge pre-
siding, and Mr. Lount acting as Crown
Couneel. There is an unusually large
docket at this court, and the old circu-
lar tciven is filled with lawyers, jurore,
litigants and witnesses. There are fif-
teen civil cases and several criminal
• ones, and it is more than likely, unless
unuintal progress is made, -a good many
of the civil cases will have to be de-
ferred to another court. There are
none, however, even in the criminal list,
of very grave importance, except that of
McKinnon, of Goderich, who is being
tried for the shooting of his wife a short
time no. It is astonishing how trivial
a matter will sometimes bring people
into court. In some of the cases before
this Court the actual amount involved
will, 1 probably, not exceed fifty or
seventy-five dollars, and yet the parties
rush into court and run the risk of los-
ing niany hundreds. In fact, where so
small a sum is involved even the person
int the case is out of pocket.
if there was no lew there would be

A pOOD CHANCE. -Mr. S. H. Willis,
formerly of this town, but now of Birtle,
Manitoba, writes to us as follows:
We are sadly off here for a paper and
job printing office, and I thought you
might possibly do something for us that
would lead to our wants being supplied,
and at the same time put some young
newspaper man with plenty of energy,
some capital and the other requisites of
a newspaper men, on track of a good
opening. There is a good opening here,
as there is no paper in this corner of the
province at all. The municipal printing
alone for these two counties, Shoal Lake
and Russell, amounts to over $1,200 a
year. The nearest paper to us on this
line of railway is at Minnedosa, 60 miles
east of here, and this is the largest and
most important point west of Minne-
dose. It is the county town of these
two counties, and has registry office,
division court office, Dominion land
office, Indian office &c. All the job
-work that is seat from here to Minne-
<lose, Portage and Winnipeg, would
amount to considerable to the home
offioe, and every little place in all this
section of country requires a good deal
of printing. This is one of the best
mixed farming districts I have sebn in
Manitoba or the Northwest. It has suf-
fered considerably of course from the
troubles peculiar to new countries, but
de now in much better shape than it has
been. The people are learning and are
settling down. Those who have held
out through hard times and poor crops
are now fairly well off, with their
horses, cattle and sheep increasing
around them. Land is low in price
now, which is, of course, one great
reason why people, thinking of coming
this way, should come now. Some
homesteads can be had in this district
yet. Trusting you may be the means of

th county Antrim, Ireland, but was of
Sc ttieh descent. He commenced hie
cateer as a school teacher when he was
only fourteen years of age. He taught
• set ool in summer and attended Belfast
R yal Academical Institution in winter,
an1 in this way sustained himeelf while
pe suing his studies, and was, in the
fu lest sense of the term, a self made
min. He was licensed as a minister in
106, and in the same year was ordsined
and inducted to the pastorate of the
copgregation of liallaghert county Derry.
He was married in 1840, and in 1849 hel

af rwards Mr. McPherson came to
Stratford and organized the congrega-
tion of which be was pastor for 28

R TIRING FROM BUSINESS. -As rill
be sen by a prominent announcement
in ojur advertising columns, Mr. Thos.
W. uncan has:been forced by ill heidth
toetire from the large. and prosperous
meitcantile business in this town ith
wh ch he has been so long connecjted.
There are few firm names better or rpore
favorably known in this county ban
that of Duncan Duncan, and the
establishment which Ithe name represent-
ed has for over t enty years done a
large and yearly increasing business,and
not a littleof itesuccessand popularity has
been due to the business ability, integrity
and push of its late proprietor', Mr. T.
%V. Duncan, and e are sorry indeed
that he is forced to retire from it and to
leave the town, alt ough we hope- his
ab once will only b temporary. The
re4.aou, also, which ilecesaatatea hie with -
dr wal is still more regretable. We
hajve not learned vOit Mr. Duncan's

tends going, but we hope that the free-
dOm from the carght d 'toil inseparable
from so extensive a business, and a short
season of quiet will enable him to so
recuperate as to permit of his soon re-
turnieg here and resuming hie former
positions in business, municipal and
social circles, and all will be glad to
welcome him back again. In the mean -
tithe the business will be under the man
agement of Mr. Ross, a thoroughly com-
petent and experienced business man,
and will not, we are sure, suffer under
his care. While, therefore, we are
sorry to lose Mr. Duncan, even though
it be but for a season'we cordially wel-
come Mr. Ross and hope he will . find

the great work the Society had been
doing in the past, and was 'destined
to accomplish in the future. -
There has been considerable discussion
going on among our villagers at times as
to the advantages and disadvantages of
incorporation, but the majority seem to
think that as long as the township is
using us at all well, and our villagers are
as enterprising in the future as they
have been in the past in the way of
making improvements and building up
out streets and sidewalks, we will not
suffer greatly for want of incorporation.
We can move along nicely with and as
part of the towuship, which is certainly
one of the finest and best in the county.
