Mothers careful of their child- repae comfort would like them.—On Thureday and Friday of last week Mears. Ifeffinan & Co. and Mr.Pickard ispeotaily invited the public to visit their shOW rooms, and see and examine the many beautiful and useful articles of - leiukt - - millinery there displayed. Miss Mc- Laughlin, at Pickard's, is ever ready to please "the million," and 1. a prime favorite with her customers. There is a very large stock and great variety here and everybody feels, at liberty,to pick and choose, and turn over -until they find what they want. Visitors at Messrs. Hoffman & Companys store found. millinery which in quiet elegance of style and combination, is not to be rivalled anywhere. Miss Doble has earned.for herself an enviable reputa- tion since taking charge here & Every- thing under her care shows skill and ex- cellent taste. The showroom was charm- ingly decorated with millinery goods of all sorts. Just here we may say that all the showrooms during opening days were made pleasant to look upon, being dexterously draped with silks, .velvets and laces,intermingled with flowers,both real and artificial, and other adornments as well. It is not our intention to give a detailed description of the several hats or bonnets, as that is difficult for a novice and might not be correct,besides, however accurately an article may be 'described, the idea formed by the reader is not half so satisfactory - as a few glances at the object itself. We there- fore invite every lady to come and see for herself. Bonnets are generally small, although the tuque shape, which may be worn either with or without ties, is a very reasonable size. Sailor hats and turban shapes will be much worn by young ladies'and large, wide rin-uned, fiat crowned hats in felt, bea- ver and velvet are for everybody who likes them. English walking shapes in felt and beaver are very suitable for winter wear, and may be trimmed en suit if wished. Prevalent colors are browns, greens, cardinals, heliotropes and black, with.combinations of aream, bright orange, bluette, etc., ete. there is a new .deep wine color, also lighter shades of it, that is very pretty. Jet and tinsel of every sort may be used lavishly and still be considered in good taste. Black and gold is a com- bination still very popular. Rib• bon rosettes and pompons are new again and very stylish in effect. Come and see for yourseives, la- dies, and then you can't help leaving your orders. Quite a number of sales were made on exhibition days and orders are being received daily. • SERVANT GIRL WANTED. —Apply to Ms. J. S. ROBERTS, Seaforth. 1243 OUR Teas are at prices away down.

Cowan's,' 38 ; Miss Kate Cowan's, 39 ; Miss El. der, 43 ; Miss Killoran, 49; Miss A. Watson, 50 ; Mrs. Campbell, ,48 ; Miss Bella Watson, _49, and Mrs. Coulter, 68, making the average attendance for the month 413. Mrs. Coulter's depart- ment being very much over -crowded, the Board decided that hereafter the junior class attend in the forenoon only and the second junior 'class in the after- noon only. This was in accordanee with the recommendation of the Inepector. It was also decided to have the house on the Smith property removed from the school grounds, and tenders for the pur- chase of the Ltuilding will be received until the 20th Inst. The purchaser will have to remove it. The Inspector in his report spoke, very highly of the very efficient manner in which the several de- partments of the school are being con- dulted. WINDOW 1BROKEN. — Another large pane of glasS in front of Hamilton & Me- lnnia's shoe Store was broken on Mon- day evening last. The damage was done by some boys who were sitting on the edge of the window frame. Thus is the second large pane that has been broken in this window in a similar -man- ner within tt, few months. It is not sup- posed it was done designedly, but simp- ly by accid4nt, but still this sort of' thing is very annoying to those whose property is destroyed. The boys of Seaforth are' tot any worse, and, proba- bly not nearly so bad as are the boys of most other towns, but litany of them have got into a vary bad habit of con- gregating atcertainpoints along Main street and indulging in loud talk and various pranks which, in themselves are harmless enietgh, but which frequently make it very unpleasant for ladies and others who May be passing by. We know the intter has only to be men- tioned aud the good sense of the boys themselves Will induce them to give up eathe offensivil habit. If they do not, howeVer, t1It policeman should take the matter in iand and when he finds crowds cong egated on the streets in this way he hould require the parties to move on J) GODERICH HAL BOB., —In the Ottawa correspo'ndence of the Toronto Empire of Saturday1 we find the following ; "Mayor John Butler, Messrs. William Lee and Mt Hutchinson, of Goderich, and John Eaals, general freight agent of the Grand Trunk railway, Toronto, con- stituted a deputation which waited. on Hon. Frank Smith, Acting Ministet of Public Works, and other ministers to- day. The ddputation was appointed by the Town Connell of Goderich to urge upon the Gevernment the necessity of making Goclerich harbor something more than a harboi of refuge in name only. The petitionithey presented points out that in rough' weather a vessel drawing 12 feet of wart r or over cannot enter the harbor, and t at it is a difficult matter even for stea ships, unless they are of light draught l The deputation ask for a liberal apPropriation to extend the !piers, which Will act as a breakwater, -and that the harbor be thoroughly dredged. The members of the deputa- tion were greatly pleased with their re- ception by the Minister.' There is no doubt but Goderich harbor needs atten- tion, end it is to be hoped the satisfac- tory receptio4 given the deputation is an indicationthat the Government in- tend taking prompfand effective action. Bayfield harbor altelineeds looking after. It is a harbor only in name,and although a a good deal of m ey has, from time to time, been expen ed on it, the results have been auythi g but satisfactory.

Besides the ladies from t o Seaforth Freshet. terian church ther were present repre- sentatives from t e Methodist church and from Clinton, Egmondville and other places. - Mrs. (Rev.) Coliu Fletcher, of the Thames_Roa , Usborne, delivered her promised add ess descriptive of a late trip through anitoba and British Columbia, and the.

She spoke for over three- quarters of an hour nd many said they were sorry when sh got through, as they could have list ned with pleasure and profit for a muc longer time, Mrs. Fletcher was tende ed a most hearty vote of thanks for h r most excellent address. The.thank offering collection taken at the close was a most liberal one and shows that he ladies are in earnest in the noble ork in which they are engaged. i THE CONCERT. —Fr day last, our Fair day, was brought to most fitting close by a concert given in Cardno's Hall by Prof. Scott, supporte by some of the best talent our cou try can produce. The hall was full to t e doors, and the appreciation of the e orts of the per- formers' was duly anifested by loud and continued applau e which followed each piece. The Misses Stevenson both have rich clear oices, and their various solos were m st highly appre- ciated, while their duet entitled "The Lullaby" was exceptionally good. Pro- fessor Scott has al tech, mellow voice with a slight Scotch faccent, but this rather adds than dlet.racts from his charm as a vocalist. His rendering of the Scotch songs on t e programme was of a high order, and his songs were all ,much appreciated by ltheaudience. The , professor isapparentijr a novice on the stage, but we think wlith a little more experience he will be 'onto one of the 1 leading vocalists of the country. In this pleasing and- stell-arranged pro- , gramtne the comical s de was not for- gotten, and the redoubtable Sim Fax, in his comic songs and costumes, evoked roars of laughter and elicited rouniis of applautte, as well as n any enchores. The singerOwere greatl aided, and the pleasure of the specie ors enhanced by the accurate and skilf 1 playing of the accompaniment -1a by ti e piauist of the company. We are au* a Seaforth audi- ence will be much ple sed to see Pro- fessor Scott and hit worthy company again before them and giving them one of their splendid concerts. ANOT IIER EIRE. —"file citizens of the town were again ar peaceful slumbers ab uthatf-past twelve joused from their on Tuesday evening y the dread sound of the fire alarm whi tle, and on look- ing out from their bedroom windows the brilliant reflect on of a _fire was visible, showing tha the incendiaries' terch had once more een applied. The building attacked thi thne was the one known as the old Ba tist'church,east of the public school. I was a large build- ing and made a big blaze and a hot fire. When, first discover d the interior of the building was al in flames. The firemen were soon on hand and had twO streams of water pia) ing on the burning pile. The fire had g t too much head- way to permit of the building itself be. ing saved, but the ho see in the immedi- ate vicinity were seised from destruc- tion, It was feared at one time that the residence of Mf. Robert Fanson, which is only a few f et from the burn- ing building, would 'urely go, but by well directed effortsl the firemen suc- ceeded in saving it land all others in danger, although sparks and large chunks of burning lvoo& were flying about and lightiog in all Idirections. The building was construclted for a Baptist church, but has not leen used for that purpose for fifteen yehrs. It has since been used as a fruit J„ivaporating estab- lishment and afterti-ards as a cooper shop, and during the 'past summer, Mr. D. D. Wilson, Co wh9no it belonged, had men at work in it rnaking boxes in which eggs are shipped to the old country. There was, therefore, consid- erable lumber and other material for this purpose stored in it, and all of which was, of course, burned. The loss, although considerable, will not be serious. There was au insurance of $800 on the building and $200 on the contents. As there had not been any fire used in or about the place for sev- eral weeks, the supposition is that it was set on fire. These fires are becoming alarmingly prevalent in our midst, and are calculated to create an uneasy feel- ing among property holders. It is sin- cerely hoped that this will be the last one for a while.
