DISTRICT
MATTERS.
AN AT HOME.—The At Home, in thel
Egmondville Presbyterian Church, on
Monday evening list, under the auspices
of the Ladies' Ai4 Society, was a very
pleasant and sue essful affair. There
was a large atten ance, and all seemed
to enjoy themselv s. Rev. Joseph Mc-
Coy, formerly p stor of the congre-
gation, and Mrs. cCoy were present,
and were met and cordially greeted by
many of their for er friends. The re-
freshments, as u ual, were abundant
and of the very c oicest quali.ty and in
almost endlees va iety. The Egmond-
ville ladies are ood proeiders. Re-
freshments over, tjbe chair was taken by
the esteemed pas or, Rev. Mr. Need-
ham, and a splen id programme of ad-
dresses and inusi was given. The ad•
dresses were short, practical and to the
point, while the rivaioal selections given
were much app eciated. Mr. McCoy
gave an interest ng description of his
present field of 1 bor in Chatham, New
Brunswick, and hrieffy referred to the
people and resoUrces of the Maritime
Provinces. Mr. Jand Mrs, McCoy lefti
on Tuesday for t e home of Mr.McCoy's
mother, near BraJntford, where,it is said,
and important faJmily event, in which
one of our ivellJ known Huron clergy-
men is deeply interested, was expected
to take place. During their brief stay
here Mr. McCoy's former parishioners
did all in their power to make their
visit a pleasant ne, and the success of
the At Home oni Monday evening is an
evidence that thy succeeded admirably.
GOOD HORSES SHIPPED.—Seaforth is
a groat centre for the shipment of
horses as well as cattle. On Friday
last Mr. D. Donevan, of this town, and
Mr. James Horton, of ITaborne, shipped
from this statio in a palace car as fine
a lot of breedin mares as ever left the
county. There were fifteen of them ,
and there wail n t an inferior one in the
lot. They ave aged about 1,500 lbs.
They were destined for Utah and Ore-
gon. Among the number was the well-
known imported mare, " Kilkairn Nell."
This fine animawas imported from Scot-
land by Mr. John McMillan, M.P., who
sold her to Mr. Robert Martin, formerly
of Stanley, buttnow of Michigan. She
was purchased from Mr. Martin by Mr.
Alexander Innes, of Stanley,from whom
she was purchasedby Messrs. Donovan
& Horton, with another very fine Can-
adian bred mare from " Welcome."
Kilkairn Nell was a noted prize winner.
She carried off the sweepstakes at Lon-
don in 1872 and generally cleared every-
thing before her at the local shows. She
has also proved a splendid breeder, hav-
ing raised a foal every year since she
was four years old, and her colts have
s'
been as succes ful as prize winners as
she was bermeif. We are sorry to see
such splendid breeding stoek leaving the
country, but iiiti hope Messrs. Donovan
& Horton will make well out of thek
venture, as they deserve to.—Mr. Thos.
Walsh also shipped a car load of excel-
lent horses to the Western States on the
same day. -00 Tuesday Mr. Robert Lo-
gan sent a cariload of good ones to Car.
berry, Manitoba. In this lot were sev-
eral good drivers that will hustle the
Manitobans over the prairies about as
fast as they will want to go. Mr. Lo-
gan has already sent several car loads to
the aame place and they have all done
well, and this is about the best lot he
has sent out—Mr. John Fowler also
shipped a lot to Brandon on Tuesday.
The Manitobahorses were shipped from
Goderich by oat.—Mr. John MoMann,
Huron's hors king, has shipped forty,
horses to Detroit during the past twol
weeks. They were all good ones, and
were intended for use on drays and
such like work.
A BAD bilerAKE.—A good Tory friend
of ours,a farmer who lives nob on* hun-1
dred miles from Seaforth, made a start!
ling mistake a few days ago which
might have resulted seriously. Being a
straight-out Tory, he of course read'
the Empire.For some time he hal
been in the habit of calling at one of the
book -stores f r his daily paper. On the
ii
day in queeti n he called as usual, and
the clerk he, ded him his paper. Not
suspecting anything wrong, he put it in
his pocket and hurried home to have a
read. _Arriving there he adjusted hi'
spectacles and sat down intending te
have a real enjoyable time. The first
d to read was the Ottawa
e. He had not read far
r commenced to stand on
ad to pinch himself to find
thing he star
cerresponden
until his ha
end, and he
whether he was asleep or awake. He
turned the paper around, looked at the
date, and tried to read some news
items, but his mind would revert to thei
Ottawa correspondence. To make sure
his eyes did not deceive him, he read
down the column again. He read of
.boodling by contractors and government,
officials ; of Sir Hector Lengevin get -4
ting a testimonial from contractors andl
all manner of corruption among thel
powera that be at Ottawa whom he hadt
always believed immaculate and spoti
lees. He had never seen anything of:
this kind in the Empire before, but ift
the Empire said so it must be true. He
could not stand it any longer ; he threwl
down the paper and went out to feed!
the pigs with the hope that when hel
returned things would look differently,
But there was no improvement, the oldi
story still started him in the facie, and!

the oftener he read it the wow it se m -
ed to get. His faith in human ty,
especially in humanity as represe ed
by Tory politicians, was almost blasted.
He felt that life was no longer w rth
living, and his excitement hsd go to
such a pitch that he had almost c, m-
menced to tear hie hair, when fortun-
ately, his good wife happened into the
room, and noticing his perturbed con-
dition asked him what was the matter.
He picked up his beloved Empire, which
he had thrown on the floor, and point-
ing to the terrible Ottawa corres on -
deuce shouted at her "read th t."
She calmly took the paper, and tur ing
it over looked at the heading, nd
handing it back to her liege lord dir sat-
ed his attention to the fact that he ad
been reading the GLOBE and asked him
if hehad turned Grit. He' saw hie
mistake at once; he didn't fa nt,
but he went to bed, resolv'ng
to be up bright and early in the
morning to go to town and kill hat
book -store clerk who had given him the
wrong paper. It would rerhaps be
hard to convince our friend that in the
few minutes he was reading' the G iobe
he got a more accurate insight of the
way business is being conducted at
Ottawa than he has been able to get
from his perusal of the EMpire for
years.

DEATH OF MR. PETER ADAMS0111
—
Mr. Peter Adamson, County Clerk 1 of
the County of Huron, died at his bi-
dence in Goderich on Thursday nighJt of
last week. Mr. Adamson was 66 ars
of age, but previous to his last ilk ess I
had the appearance of a much youn er!
man. He has been ill for about 1
months, and for some time has en
partially helpless from the effects o an
attack of paralysis, and but for a n w-
ally robust constitution which had ever
been impaired by excesses-. of any 14i d,
he would not have withstood the SQ er-
ity of the attack so long. He wa ,a
native of the Orkney Islands, Scotia a,
(I
and early in life started out to puelnd his
fortunes in the world. He left Scot
for the Southern Stateiesand for es t me
resided in Mexico. When the ' ld
fever broke out inCalifornia in 180 he
went there, and for a time engagedin
mining. He was quite successful,[ nd
having made considerable money ad
the good judgment to leave in t e.
He thus laid the foundation of his fujtjure
wealth, which with subsequent j m-
imes management and careful hush d-
ing, grew until at his death he was ble
to leave a fortune variously estim ted
at from sixty to seventy thousand oi-
lers. Leaving the Golden Statel he
came to Canada and settled in the tm n-
shiraStinley and engaged in farm ng.
He was not long here when his w ' rth
became evident to his neighbors and he
was called upon to serve in the town Itip
council, and afterwards, for Bev ral
years, represented his township in , he
County Council. On the retirenient
from the county clerkship of the ate
David Hood Ritchie, Mr. Adamson as
unanimously asked by that body to be-
come Mr. Ritchie's successor, which he
consented to do and accordingly reel n -
ed his seat in the council, abando ed
farming:and removed to Goderich. He
became County Clerk, if we mistake iot,
La 1864 or 1965, and continued in that
position until the time of hi death. He
was a most competent, care ul, obliging
end valuable official, and ossessed in
the fullest degree the implic't confidence
of each succeeding council aid the pub-
lic. He made the duties of this office a
tudy, and was as careful and upright
n his official as in his private capacity.
e was looked upon by every one as an
uthority on all matters pertaining to
ounty affairs, and if Mr. Adamson said
and so, every person felt quite Bath-
ed that it was right,and rarely, if ever, -
uestioned his judgment or decisions.
is genial nature and oblig ng disposi-
ion also made him a gene al favorite
oth in public and priva . He also
took a deep interest in ed tuitional af-
airs ; was for many year connected
ith the Goderich High and Public
chool Boards, and was sec etary of the
ounty Board of Examine s. He was
leo, for many years, a Jus ice of the
eace and had an intimate knowledge
of criminal and municipal 1 w. He was
a useful man in his day, a d his death
will leave a blank which it will be very
hard to fill. He was a Pre byterian in
religion and a Liberal in pie itios, but he
never allowed his private o imions to in-
terfere with hie duty to the •ublic or to
bias his official actions. Ele had, no
children,but he leaves a widow to mourn
the loss of an ever kind an thoughtful
and worthy and esteemed h aband, and
to her will go out the si cerest sym
mathy of very many warm f iends. The

tative men from 1l prts of the

FORMER SEAFORTMITES. A press dos.
patch from Winnipeg, Man toba, on the
17th inst., says e •" 'The firn of Roblin
& Atkinson, grain dealers, as dissolved
this morning by mutual c nsent. The
step has been in contempla ion for some
days, and was known am ng intimate
friends, but was not given publicity till
today. Mr. Atkinson will continmethe
old business, while Mr. Roblin has 'en-
tered into partnership with Mr. Fred.
Armitage, who was book-keeper with
the previous firm, and will also continue
in the grain business under the firm
name of Roblin & Armitage." Mr.
Roblin is the leader of the Opposition in
the Manitoba Legislature, and has won
considerable renown in Provincial poli-

unite with us in the hope that the busi-

A LESSON NOR THZ BOTS.—A very
unique case of embezzlement took place
in our village on Monday afternoon last
and which for a time created quite a
sensation. It appears that three or four
of our prominent villagers, who might
have been better employed, were engag-
ed on Main etreet pitching silver dollars
into a box, not a mission box), when a
big, burly, seedy looking individual,
came up and was invited to take a band
in the game. The five round silver
dollars were put into hi hand and he
was about to tbrow them when a by-
stander suggested to him "better put
them into your pocket." The tough at
once acted upon the hint, put the money
into his pocket and then coolie, walked
off, to the utter amagement of the on-
lookers. He next went to one of the
local hotels, liquidated a bill which he
had contracted with the landlord, had a
few drinks and armed with a club, he
left .the place. Smarting under the
imposition, the "boys" after having
cabled to a neighboring town for legal
advice, decided to have the would-be
embezzler arrested. Having secured a
warrant from one of the local magis-
trates, it was placed in the hands of Mr.
Sippel, of Zurich, who soon secured the
tramp. Strange to say, however, when
the case came up for hearing before
magistrate Buchanan the proseaution
failed to appear and the case was drop-
ped. The affair will, no doubt, teach
thou interested to be more careful in
the future as to whose custody they
intrust their silver dollars.—COM.

patrons sending milk to this factory efts
s ho wed 4 per Ct-nt. fat 34 ranged from
3.50 to 3.85 per cent. ; tl.ree were -under
3 per cent. As it is part of the Inspee-
tor's duty to see all cows milked when
they show less than three per cent. fat,
he will do so on his next trial. There
are three causes which may account for
less than three per cent. fat in the milk:
ist, Cows that give poor milk; Ind,
Keeping the strippings to cream tea;
2rd, Young men on leaving for home at
nights taking a drink off the top. We
