DISTRICT MATTERS.
GOOD CATTLE.—There are few places
where so many good cattle are shipped
as at Seaforth. Among recent ship-
ments was a splendid lot purchased by
Mr. Watson, of Blyth, and which left
this station on Friday last. The greater
number of these were bought from
Messrs. Case & McDougall and Mr.
Christopher Dale, Jr., of Hullett. Mr.
Dale had as fine a lot as has left the sta-
tion this season. He had fifty head, and
they averaged about 1,450 lbs. each.
Eight animals were picked out of the
drove, and one was selected to be weigh-.
ed as a sample of the others. This ani-
malibroughqdown the scales at 1,760 lbs.,
and it was thought that either of the
others would weigh as heavy. These
cattle were bought by the head and re-
alized a good figure, but we are not at
liberty to state the price.
LEFT Towne—Mr. and Mrs. John
Williams left here on Wednesday last
for Munice, Indiana, wheie they go to
reside with their daughter, Mrs. John
Lee. Mr. Williams has been a resident
of Sesfortit for 25 years, and has been
an active and zealous member of the
Masonic and Oddfellows Societies. He
has been Tyler of Brittania Masonic!
Lodge for about ten years, and has oc-
cupied a similar position in the Oddfel-
lows lodge for about twenty years. The
members of thatlodge, previous, to his
departure, and as a mark of apprecia-
tion of his long and efficient services,
presented him with a complimentary
address and a' handsome gold -headed
.tane. Mr. Williams was a good citizen,
and his many friends here will unite
with us in wishing himself and Mrs.
Williams health, happiness and prosper-
ity in their new home.
ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening last
Mr. Samuel Wallace, of Tuokeremith,
net with a very serious and painful ac-
cident. .1ile had come to town in the
afternoon with a young horse hitched in
a buggy. In the evening when starting
for home he was leading the animal out
of McBride's stable when it got fright-
ened and started to run away. Mr.
Wallace hung on pluckily to the bridle
trying to control the beast when it threw
him down, trampling on himiand break-
ing his right arm in two places and frac-
turing a rib. The horse then got its
liberty and ran as far as Egmond-
ville where it,was caught. The buggy
was badly demolished. Mr. Wallace
was oared for and Dr. Scott set the
fractured bones and after remaining in
town over night was taken to his home
on Wednesday morning. Hie injuries
are not considered dangerous although
they are vey painful and such as will
lay him up for some time.

HURON HORSES ABROAD.—At tho
Windsor races on Friday last, Florence
G., the pacing mare of Coleman Broth-
ers of this town, won second place in
the the 2.24 pacing race. There were
five heats and the race was won in 2.19.
The first horse was Strathro, from Fort
Wayne, Indiana. She won the second,
third and fifth heats, and took second
place in the first and fourth heats. Ob
the following day, Seturde.y. Dr.
Livingstone, a chestnut gelding by
Carlisle, belonging to Mr. E. Living-
stone, of Blyth, won the first place in
the 2.33 class. There were nine horses
in the race and there were seven heats
trotted, Dr. Livingstone winning the
last three. The best time was
This race shows Dr. Livingstone to have
staying powers as well as speed, and he
had the additional disadvantage of having
had the epizootic all spring and is even
yet not in proper fit for a race. It
would be hard to find a pair of better
horses than Florence G. and Dr.
Livingstone. In these races they are
competing spinet the best horses in
America.
YOUNG MENS' CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
CORNER.—While our town stands so
high in football and sports of nearly all
kinds, it may be well to consult the
score of the game of life amoung us.
Canon Farrow puts:it this way: "Yee,
life is a game; a complicated game; a
difficult game; a game which requires
wisdom, diligence, patience; a game of
which you must learn the conditions; a
game which will try your powers; a
game in which there ie not one good
ritiality of head or heart that will not
greatly help you ; a game of which the
forfeits are terrible, of which the issues
are infinite. It has been played for
untold ages, and every one of us is one
of the players in it." The rules of it
have been made independently for us,
but they are absolute and we must obey
them. Those rules are the laws of
nature, the laws of health, the laws of
intellect, above all the moral laws of
iel—obey them,—and by prayer and
the grace which your Saviour will give
you, you can obey them, and you must
and will find peace unto your souls.
Disobey then and you make of life a
misery, and of death a ruin. But there
is ene respect in which the game of life
differs from our earthly games. In these
there is always an element of chance; in
the game of life there is none. "He
who keeps the high and simple rules of
it must win." Thew are we obeying the
rules which govern the issue of this
game ? By a careful observance of them,

BUSINESS CHANGE. —Messrs. Wilson
& Young, one of the oldest and most
successful business firms iin Seaforth,
have dissolved partnership. They have
carried on the grocery businees here for
nearly twenty years, and by close atten-
tion to business and honest dealing have
built up and retained a very large trade.
Latterly they have carried on a large
stock farm adjoining the town, and in
connection with their grocery business
engaged extensively in buying, feeding
and shipping cattle, and in this, as in
the grocery business, have been very
successful. They have now decided to
separate these two branches of business,
and Mr. Young continues the grocery
business, while Mr. Wilson will devote
himself exclusively to the farm and
stook, and we hope they will be even
more successful separately than they
have been as a firm, Mr. Young is
thoroughly conversant with every detail
of the grocery business; has ample capi-
tal to take advantage of eveitr circum-
stance likely to be favorable to his cus-
-tomer", and is well and favorably known
to the public. He will now, also, de-
vote hie whole attention to this business,
and we are sure he will continue to re-
tain the same liberal patronage that has
been so long enjoyed by the old firm.
He is worthy of success and will, no
doubt, enjoy it. Mr. Wiloon will also
be missed from his accustomed position,
where he had become so familiar, but:he
will find more congenial employment in
his new duties and will, no doubt, be
able to make them more profitable than
formerly now that he devotes his whole
attention to thie one branch.

THE JUNIOR BEAVERS AT CLINTON.—
The Junior Beavers went to Clinton on
Friday last to play a championship
match with the team of that town, and
as usual came out ahead. It took our
boys some time to get used to the hills
and hollows on the grounds, and it was
not until after Clinton had scored the
first goal that they were in it at all.
Play was started about half -past four,
but for a time the play was very loose
and Clinton had it pretty much their
own way, but the Beavers defence was
too strong for them, and it was not
until fifteen minutes hard play that
Clinton scored the first goal. After this
Seaforth saw more of the ball and play
was confined mostly to centre with oc-
casional rushes on either goal. This
exciting play was kept up for twenty
minutes, when Copp scored for Seaforth,
thus tieing the score. Play was resum-
ed again after the customary rest, but
our boys showed superior trainiug and
were now playing pretty muoh around
their opponents. Robertson, Clinton's
point man, succeeded in saving hie
goal, but after 25 minutes play Suther-
land made the lucky shot and up went
the umpires hand. The Beavers had
pretty much all the play after this and
despite the hilly grounds entirely out
played the Clinton team aud secured two
more goals scored by Baldwin and Geo.
Jackson, respectively, in 10 and 2
minutes. This made Seaforth winners
by a score 4 goals to 1. The teams were
pretty evenly matched and the game
throughout was a fine exhibition of
skillful and gentlemanly lacrosse. The
Clinton team were, if anything, heavier
than our boys and had the advantage of
beingused to the ruff grnunds,but our Boys
had the advantage of superior training
which enabled them to win the game.
The Juniors are now at the to of the
league, and will, in all probability, win

last the members of the Orange Lodge
here attended a special service at St.
Johns' Church, where the rector, Rev.
Mr- Cluff delivered a most appropriate
discourse. The grand celebration was
held here on Monday. The citizens
were around bright and early, several
being at work before five o'clock in the
morning, nailing up booths, fixing de-
corations, &c. The melodious strains of
the fife and drum also filled the air from
that early hour almost ceaselessly until
mid -night. The lodges from the sur-
rounding neighborhood commenced ar-
riving about eight o'clock, and after the
arrival of the trains the streets bore al-
most a solid mass of humanity. It is
estimated that there were over 5,000
people present. The crowd, however,
was very quiet and orderly. The pro-
cession was of the usual nature on such
occasions and the speaking was moder-
ate, being somewhat tame. Of course
Mowat came in for a rap or two, but
Sir John Thompson, the other political
leader and Jesuit champion was merci-
fully left alone. On the whole the cele-
bration was a very satisfactory one. A

Burns' Churches. Mount Forest is a.
progressive and growing town, and the
congregation is a large and prosperous
one, and a most inviting fietd is thus
"offered for a young man of Mr.__Ramsay's
energy and ability. The call will likely
come up before the next meeting of the
Huron Presbytery. We have not learn-
ed what Mr. Ramsay's intentions are
with regard to the matter, but we know
his people in Hullett willbe exceedingly
loaeh to part with him, as he is not only
liked as a preacher but is beloved at a
man. He is offered a stipend of $1,000
a year and a free manse.

dent, in the person of Mr. Wm. Hiles,
Sr., of Londesboro, has pasted over

years. He had been a great sufferer
for some time from cancer, and conse-
quently his death was not unexpected,
and in his case the change was for him
a happy relief. The funeral took place
The deceased was one of thf3 first set- I
tiers in the neighborhood of Londesboro,
and was much and deservedly respect-
ed. He was a consistent and worthy
member of the Methodist Church, and
hie life was in accord with his profession.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE. — Mr.
Robert Gibson; one of the oldest and
most highly respected residents of this
township, passed peacefully away on
Sunday last. Mr. Gibson had been in
delicate health for some time and al-
though his death is deeply regretted by
all, it was not unexpected. He was
born on February 27th, 1814, and had,
consequently, considerably passed the
alloted span of three score and ten. He
was a native of Arbroath, Scotland, and
with his parents left Scotland on the
28th of March 1834 and landed in
Quebec on the 13th of May following.
The Atlantic wan not so quickly travers-
ed in those days as now. They first
located in Galt, in the County of Water-
loo, where Mr. (ib800 remained for
about 9 years. He removed to Usborne
in 1843 and taking up land, has resided
here ever since. In 1845 he was marri-
ed to Janet Lang, sister of Messrs James
and Robert Lsng,now of Manitoba. Mr.
Gibson's family consists of five daughters
and one son, all living except the young-
est daughter, who died eleven years
ago. Mr. Gibson was a consistent
member of the Presbyterian church for
many years, and was upright in all his
dealings with his follow men. He was
s man who carnestly strove both by
preeept and example to do his whole
duty while in life and to leave the world
better than he found it. His worthy
partner in life survives him.
