A FLOWING WELL.— ast fall Mr. D.
D. Wilson sunk a well n ar his barn on
the Adams farm. When a depth of 28
feet was reached a. stro g spring was
struck, and during the hole of this
season, although it has b en so dry, the
well has been overflowing The flow is
sufficiently strong to ca ry the water
through pipes into the barn yard. It
runs at the rate of overtwo gallons a
minute. The water is piire and cold,
but has a strong taste of iron. The cat-
tle, however, are very fond of it, and it
is of immense advantage to Mr. Wilson
in his dairrbusiness, as well as being a
valuable acquisition to hi l farm, furn-
ishing in a most convenient place an
abundant and never -failing supply of
pure water.
, A GOOD BULL.—Mr. Anon Modeland,
of Tuckeramith, near E mondville, ar-
rived home from Toront on Tuesday,
and brought with him a eery handsome
thoroughbred Hereford LuiI, which he
purchased from Mr. Ifle4iing, of Tor-
' onto. This fine animal i nine months
old, is a dark red color, and is a perfect
model of his class. He is from imported
stock on both sides, and his sire, when
four years old is said to have weighed
2,300 pounds, while his dam was pur-
chased for $1,000. Mr. Modeland is a
firm believer in the superior advantages
resulting from this breed of cattle. He
has now quite a herd, and the longer he
has them the better he likenthem. We
hope he will have good luck with his
handsome young bull.
SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS.—The results of
the yearly examination at Toronto Uni-
versity were published on Saturday.
All the Seaforth students were success-

ors in physics. W. Govenlock and W.
McQueen passed the 3rd year examine-

Godfrey was one of two:who headed the
first class honor men in the fourth year
course in political science, and was
awarded for the aecond time the second
Blake scholarship.
DEATH OF MRS. KELLAM.—It WAS
yeith feelings of the deepestsorrow that
, bur citizens learned of the death of Mrs.
d Kellam of this town, widow of the late
Rev. 11. Kellam. The sad *vent took
place at her residence on Friday last.
The deceased was a native Of this town
and was a half-sister of Messrs. John
and James Beattie. She has been a
severe sufferer for many months from a
cancer in the breast. Within the past
year she has tidergone three operations
for the remov 1 of the growth, and her
system had been too severely tried to long
outlive the last one. She was an active
church worker and an earnest Christian
lady, and will be much missed in church
And social circles. Her husband WAS a
clergyman in the Methodist church, and
died about eight years ago. She leaves
-one son who will minim the ion of
e good and loving mother.

events which occur only once in the
moat of people's lives, took place on

4
mony to Mr. Dominic Flyn , of Hallett.

ceremony took place at 9 o clock, after
which the happy couple, together with a
number of relations, returned to the
home of the bride's mother, where a
mumptuous di ner hid been prepared, to
:
which ample justice had been done.
After spendi g several happy hours
along with the guests, the newly mar-
ried couple tot* the train fr the East,
amid the showering of rice. Mr. Flynn
is a much r.sected young man and we
congratulate Iim on his ehoice. We
also extend our best wishes o the hippy
pair. The bri e was the re ipient of a
number of cos ly presents. Con. .

greatness, an4 for whom we have to

trious and frugal and soon succeeded ' in
converting his wilderness farm into a
