No kinder soul than the ate Mr. Banjo,- . min P. Shillaber (Mrs. Part ngtou) could be found, search where you might. To the iitmost of his ability ie made love "the greatest thing in the weal rescuing those in disgrace and despair,' an giving tireless cheer to the lonely. The et anger who met Mr. Shillaber had someth'ng pleasant to remember him by always,ai d long acquaint- ance only ripened one's I fri ndship for the man. Through years of ill ealth and much suffering the same sunny di osition flowed on; the nearest he ever eam to complaining was to prepetrate some leug able satire on his condition. Mr. Shillaber was most [evoted to his family, and each living c eature in and about home shared his affe tion. His pet for years was e large ca named Beauty, which the artist Whistler rouid stile "a symphony in yellow." Sulp aur, I believe, is the normal color of a cet's eyes; this at suggests to one who has, se n geysers, the boiling over and incrusting recess by which they are ringed around with Liffering shades —the yellows of its eyes be• g distributed to the tip of its tail. Only a few minutes before its master's death Be uty came and was received into his srn s, nestling there lovingly. The affectionate nimal has out- lived him, but not the mem ry of him. It still seeks and mourns the k rid man in the vacant place. The County C4unci1. '1 The County Council for 1J892 will be coni - posed as follows: Reeve. Tuckersmith, R. B. McLea Usborne, T. M.

For, the past seven months we had catered to the people of Seaforth for a fioe trade in Clothing, Furnishings and Hats, and we were more than satisfied with our splendid trade. On January 1st we had our magnificent stock knocked into a cocked hat by smoke and water, and to -day we have a $5,000 stock of fine goods to slaughter at tremendous bargains. People will understand that it is impos- sible for us to place new goods along with our smoked stock, and we are forced to sell these goods at whatever they will bring. We will open our doors for business on SATURDAY MORNING at 8:30 a, m., and we are honest when we say that it will pay any man to drive twenty miles to get some of our bargains.
