SEAFORTH RECREATION GROUNDS SO. clETY PCBLIC SCHOOL FOOT BALL COM - _PETITION. -The two matches to be play- ed on Saturday next will bring this exciting contest to a close. At two o'clock No. 3 Tuckersmith will play Stephen for 3rd prize, and at 3.30 the 'final struggle between Egmondville and No. 9, Tuckersmith will begin. These teams being very evenly matched and wonderfully expert in all the fine points of the game, spectators will, without a doubt, find this one of the most pleas- ant and exciting contests ever witnessed on the Grounds. If the interest taken in the previous matches is any criterion, we should see a large, turnout on the Grounds on Saturday next. NEW- MEDICAL FIRM. --As will be seen by a card in another column, Dr. Scott of this town has taken Dr. C. Mackay into partnership with him. Both gentlemen are to be congratulated, Dr. Mackay in securing an interest in so large and profitable a practise, and Dr. Scott in securing as a partner a gentle- man of Dr. Mackay's ability and ster- ling worth. Dr. Mackay is a most estim- able young man; has proved a success- ful and brilliant student, and we have no doubt but the energy, industry and ability which have stood him in such good stead in his College 'career, will aecure him an equally prominent posi- tion in the ranks of the profession which he enters with so much promise.

SCSPECTED BURGLARS LIBERATED. - On Wednesday, last week, the trial of Wm. Hendricks and. Louis Smith, " the kid," charged with burglary of the Brussels post office, began before His Honor, Judge Toms and lasted un- til 2,30 on Thursday. Mr. W. Proud - foot conducted the defence, and the prosecution was in the hands of Crown Attorney Lewis, Post Office Inspector Hobkirk, and Government detective O'Leary assisting. A large number of witnesses were examined, and the prisoners were charged with several counts. The court ruled that the in- dietment for burglary was bad, under the Post Office Act, as the act required T:sidence of some one in the building el -tared to constitute the offence a bur- glary, which was not the case here. Reudricks was then tried on a charge of am mit, and while McDonald, the man who aets held up in front of the post office, testified to the identity of the prisoner, and several witnesses to hay - Ing seen him, or some one very much resembling him, in the neighborhood, four witnesses from Detroit swore to -prove an alibi. One testified to having paid Hendricks his week's wages on the tiaturday evening preceding the Sunday ou which the burglary occurred, while the others testified to having seen him in Detroit at different intervals up to Sueeday, so that, the defence held, he could not have been here before the _ Wednesday on which he came up from Stratford to Listowel, where he was ar- rer_ted. litis Honor ruled that there was not sufficient evidence for the prosecu- tion to upset the alibi, and Hendricks was therefore acquitted, and the other counts against hiinself and Smith were dropped. I ust as the accused rose to leave the risoners' box the Listowel, constablel e -arrested Hendricks for carrying eo cealed weapons, and pro- ceeded tcl h ndcuff him preparatory to taking him back to that place. This Baden tu n took the prisoner quite aback, and, or a few minutes it looked as though l he would resist desperately, but finally le quieted down and submit- ted to whit he evidently considered hard luck. " The kid," however, went forth again 4 free man, much to his evi- dent delight The trial attracted an un- usual numbir of spectators, end its re- sult caused io little discussion and com- ment.

The hay crop, even under the m at favorable circumstances, will now be bort, but other crops will now come o nicely, and there will yet be an abund nee for man and beast. The fall wheat never looked better; early sown spring grains are looking fairly well, while late sown have not done much yet. ,New meadows are fairly good, but old ones will be light. On the whole, tie prospects, although not so bright as in early spring, are by no ;means disco t raging. ' CATTLE HIPMENTS. -Saturday last was quite a ig day among the cattle men.

ALLAN MCLEAN.-1 Many of our readers will regret to learn of the death of Mr. Allan McLean, for- merly of the firm of McLean Brothers, publishers of THE EXPOSITOR, and brother of Mr. M. Y. McLean, of this town. The sad event took place in Huerfano County, Colorado on Satur, day morning last. Mr. DieLean had been a resident of Colorado for about sixteen years. Being threatened with, consumption he was advised to go there with the hope that the change of nir and occupation would at least prove bene- ficial, if a permanent cure should not be effected. The change seemed to be proel ductive of the best results. After a couple of years there he became com- paratively robust, and although the dis- ease had never left him he enjoyed good health, and was able to attend to his ore dinary duties and in his ",,roughing it " underwent hardships and privatione which would have tried a much stronger constitution in a less favorable climate , During several visits to this country, however, on each occasion, even a shor stay brought back symptoms of the ol disease, which again entirely disappear, ed on his return to Colorado. B.e.wae engaged in ranching and stock raising there, but this mode of life was nevee congenial to him, and it was only be4 cause it seemed to agree best with hie health that he continued at it. He wee , - in fact, a born newspaper man and hitt tastes all ran in that direction, and had his health been spared he would, cer tainly, ere this have made his mark in that sphere. he was a man of wide information, a clever and versatile writer, and possessed in an eminent de gree the qualifications essential for sum cess in literary pursuits. A series of letters written by him shortly after go- ing to Colorado, and which appeared in THE EXPOSITOR, were widely read and are still remembered by many of the older readers of this paper. This taste for nevvepaper life the vicissitudes inci- dent to other pursuits failed to oblit erate, and about two years ago he purchased a paper in Walsenburg, wit the view of resuming the occupation o his youth, but failing health agai forced his withdrawal from this busines , and necessitated hia return to his forme occupation on the ranche. His last visi to his friends in Ontario was about thre 1 years ago. He was then, apparently, i the!entoyment of excellent health. year ago, however, he had a very sever attack of la grippe. This seemed t renew • the old disease that had bee kept in check for so many years, an notwithstanding all that the beat medii cal skill and the tenderest nursing could accomplish he kept graduallY growing weaker, until the spirit took it flight as above stated. Although tio able to attend much to business sine last January, he was not closely confine to bed except a few days before hi death. He was, naturally, of a retirin disposition, but his generous nature his high integrity and superior abilit brought him both friends and positio in the country of his adoption. ,Thos who knew him best loved him most, an4 highly appreciated his many noble qualities of head and heart. He waa married elver two years ago to Mia0 Kate Brine, eldest daughter of Mr. J P. Brine, of this town, and she, with bright little boy, survive him. •Th hearts of many here , will go out t thein in their severe and sad bereave ment. LIFE MEMBERSHIP. -A very pleasan event, or rather two very pleasan events, took place in the basement of the Presbyterian church, in this town, onMonday evening last. That was th oc asion of the regular monthly mee ing of the Seaforth auxiliary of th Women's Foreign 'Missionary Societ . The ladies of the auxiliary had forsom time previmisly been preparing a tiu '- prise for their president, Mrs. Rev. A. Da McDonald. They had procured f r her a certificate of life membership r the Society, and had arranged to ma e the presentation on this evening. T e members of the Session had also be arranging he similar surprise for Mr. VVm. Ballantyne, and it had bee, arranged between the ladies and the members of the Session to unite the r forces and make both presentations t the same time. The ladies of the auxi iary, therefore, invited the members sf the Session and their wives, and severi 1 ladies of the congregation who are n t members of the auxiliary, to their mee ing on Monday evening, having also - 4 pr- pared additional cheer in the shape f sumptuous refreshments, Mrs. Kirk- rnan took charge of the ineetin eked Mrs, McDonald to come forw'anard, 11 neneo.onee when she called upon thesecretary,IMrhse. J. R. Lyon, to read he address. T address expressed t e high esteem in which the ladies hold their Presilent ; referred to the earnest labors shhtade put forth to advanc , the interests f h society under her charge, and atttibut- iug much of its success to her ertinest- netts tact and good management, and. asked her to accept ot the life mehiber- ship certificate as a slight token of their appreciation of her services. The ad dress ended, Mrs. M. Y. McLean, n be- half of the auxiliary, presented t e cer- tificate. Mrs. McDonald, alt ongh taken by surprise, and evidently much affected, made a most appropriate eply. Rev. Mr. McDonald, also, on be alf of his wife, made a neat address. The secondpart of the programme w s the surprise for Mrs. Ballantyne. Mr. LA,. McFaul, Session Clerk, read an address expressive of the thanks of the Session for willing services she had long render- ed them in caring for the sacramental linen and other appliances, and asking her to accept Of the life membership certificate as a slight acknowledgment on the part of the donors of her services, and their high appreciation of her as a Christian lady. The presentation was made by Mr. D. D. Wilson. , Mr. Bel- lantyne suitably responded in behalf of Mrs. Ballantyne. It needed not words to prove that she had been taken com- pletely by surprise. Indeed, those who possessed the full secret had not a little quiet amusement to themselves at the expense of the honored ladies. They each knew that the other was to be honored, but neither knew of the good fortune in (dor° for herself and each watt striving alike earnestly to keep the other in ignorance of the event that was to take place. These presentations, with musical selections, composed the programme, except that part which con- cerned the inner man. About seventy, the ladies being largely, if not alarming- ly, in the majority, sat down to a most sumptuous supper, which seemed to be enjoyed by all, and after a half hour's sociability, a most pleasant evening was brought to close about half -past ten o'clock. A BIG Seatsm-On Monday after- noon last the floors in one of the etore- houses connected with the oatmeal mill in this town gave way and the contents were precipitated into the cellar. The floors were supported by brick piers resting on stone foundations. The great weight caused the piers to split and they crumbled to pieces. The sup- ports being gone the heavy timbers broke in the centre, &Hewing the floors and what rested on them to come dowo through until they rested on terra firma underneath. The buildiug was filled with oats and oatmeal barrels. The ele- vators were at work at the time, tind a carload of oats was being placed in the building. Mr. Lyon, noticing the floor sinking, went into the cellar tirt see what was the matter. Observing the condition of the piers he went out to the 'yard to get some supports to place ander the beams so as to strengthen the build- ing temporarily. He had scarcely g4t out of the cellar when the collapse took place. There were two other men with him. Had they remained a few minutes longer they would have been buried in the oats and debris. The principal loss will be in the labor of getting the grain carried to its proper place and the cost of repairs. None of the stodk is damaged, and the walls of the builing are uninjured.
