DISTRICT MATTERS.
farmers votes that contribute to keep our
present amiable rulers -in power, I suppose
others have no right to grumble.—An organ
has not yet been purchased for the Sabbath
School, as it seems rather difficult to pro-
cure a suitable instrument. There is, how-
eve,r no need for haste as the one in use at
present serves the purpose very well.
FOR YOUNG MEN.—The Young Men's
Christian Aesociation held their regular
Gospel meeting last Wednesday night in
their rooms, with a very good attendance,
a.nd we again wish to urge the young men of
Senforth tie' come ; it will do them good.
The subject for next Wednesday night will
be : "How can I aid in the work ; how am
I liable to hinder it." A member of the
Association will teke charge of each part of
the subject, allowing a short, general dis-
cussion at the close. Book-keeping class on
Monday nights in future.—TnE Siwarriar.
PPOPERTY FURCHASED.—Messrs. Beattie
.Brothers, of this town, have pnrchased from
Mr. Wm. Hawkshaw a plot of ground
situated between his hotel and Mr. Stew-
art's blacksmith shop, and iatend erecting,
during the coming summer, a large store
thereon, with all uecessery conveniences for
the carrying on of their extensive pork
packing business. The price paid for the
land was $400. We are glad to notice this
evidence of prosperity on the part of this
enterprising firm in extending their busi-
nest, besides adding to the appearance of
South Main Street by the erection of a sub-
stantial structure.
AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE.—ReV. A. D.
McDonald, the respected pastor of the Pres-
byterian church in this town, received quite
an agreeable surprise a few days ago. He
received a letter from the Registrar of the
Senate of Montresl Presbyterian College, la.
forming him that at its last meeting the
Senate had unanimously resolved to confer
upon hint the degree of Doctor of Divinity,
if he would accept the honor, and in the
event, of his acceptance asking him to pre-
sent himself before the Senate on the 8th of
April in order that the degree may be form-
ally conferred. We presume that Mr. Mc-
Donald will c3mply with the request of the
Registrar, and that after the 8th of April
he will be known as Rev. Dr. McDonald
and will be privileged to add the letaers D.
D. to his signature. The honor will be all
the more gratifying to the recipient in se
much as it comes entirely unsolicited and
was unexpected on his part. The wish of
the reverend gentleman's many friends will
be that he may be -long spared to enjoy and
adorn the honorable title that has been so
denervedly conferred upon him.
THE WEEKLY OUTPITT.—The weekly out-
pnt from here to the Northwest on Tuesday
was not so large dais week as formerly.
Mr. J. J. Parish, forrnerly.of McKillop, and
family ; Mr. Wm. Cooper and the Messrs.
McKay, of Tuckersmith, were the only gen-
uine colonists. Mrs. Cooper and the smal-
ler children will remain here until Mr.
Cooper has a home prepared for them in the
Northwest. They all took a lot of Lorries
with them, and other settlers effects. There
were five cars, mostly laden with horses,
from other points north and south, on the
train when it passed here. Besides these,
Mr. Wm. Smith shipped two car-Ioada of
horses to Manitoba, and Mr. A. White two"
to Winnipeg. If we are to judge of the
number of horses that have gone from this
section to Manitoba this spring, we should
sty that the Manitobans will not lack for
this useful animal.
FA.RMERS' INSTITUTE. — Meetings of the
Bast Huron Farmers' Iostitute were held
in the village hall, Wroxeter, on Tuesday
last. The attendance was small at the af-
ternoon session, caused no doubt by the
rather bad state of the roads and wet, dis-
agreeable weather. The various addreeses
given were, however, very interesting and
mstructive,and much information and bene-
fit was to be derived both from the papers
and the discussiene thereon. In thit even-
ing a fair &zed audience was present and a
pleasing programme of music, reeitations
and speeches was carried out. On Wednes-
day meetings were held in the township
hall at Gorrie. The morning seesion did
not materialize on account of the slim at-
tendance, but at the afternoon session there
was a good turn -out. An entertainment
was also held in the evening. An extended
report of the meetings and the various pa-
pers and addresses given will appear next
week:
Tim ICI RINK.—There was a very large
crowd of pleasure seekers at the rink
on Friday evening last, and the ice was in
excellent shape. The race between George
Baldwin vs. H. CreeswelI, G. Abell and F.
Dorsey, was the principal attraction.
Baldwin was to skate three miles while each
of the others skated one mile consecutively,
and at the same time Baldwin was to gain
two laps. He did this and more, gaining
three and a half laps, and that without ap-
parently exerting himself to any great ex-
tent. lie is a good, steady skater, and it
will tako a pretty fast man to beat him.
The band was in ateendance, and with its
very appropriate music added greatly to
the pleasure of the akaters.--On the pre-
vious evening a curling niatch was played
between a riak from the Wingham curling
club and a junior rink of the Seaforth club,
resulting in a victory for the Winghain club
by six ehota—During the past two weeks
the mernbera of the curling club have been
busily. at work playing off the rink and
three stones competitions, for each of which
there is a. tankard. Both of these are now
finished. The final draw in the rink tank-
ard competition was played between Messrs.
George Patterson and John Lyon, two of
the oldeist players in the club, and the
tankard was won by Mr. George Patterson,
and the trophy will adorn his side -board for
the next year. The final draw in the com-
petition for the three pairs of stones match
was played by Mr. Wm. Pickard and Mr.
Andrew Young, and was won by Mr.
Young by one shot. This was a moat ex-
citing game. At the last end Mr. Pickard
was three ahead, and had his stones well
placed for two more, but Mr. Young, in his
final end, took four points, thus winning by
one. This will, likely, about close the curl-
ing season.
EGMONDVILLE NOTPS.—A very comfort-
able and Styr -Rah garment may be seen at
the store of Mr. G. E. Jackson in this
village. It is a subatantial ooat made of
beautifully prepared calfskin, tanned especi-
ally for the purpose at Mr. Jackson's
tannery. It is an experiment in that line,
but one that should prove entirely success-
ful, as it can be sold very reasoneble and
fills every requirment of a first-class fur
coat, with the advantage of being much
more darable--alist Cumming and Mr.
Iticks went to Wingham on Tuesday to at-
tend the funerel of Mr. J. R. Adam's
daughter, Ida, who died on Saturday morn-
ing laat. She had been ailing for about a
yeer of consumption which developed rapid-
ly during the laet few weeks, and carried
her off at the early age of nineteen. The
bereaved psrents and other members of the
family have the heartfelt sympathy of their
many friends in this village, in this their
time of sorrow, for the loss of a much loved

village, went west with the multitude on

of boodle and monopoly rule will it require
to depopulate this Canada of ours ? Well,
as it is mostly farmers sons who go, and

Two tilone.—Sinoe our last issue two
more of Huron's honored pioneers have gone
to rest. Mrs. John Gaetsemeyer died 011
Thursday last at the home of her son
George, near Seaforth, having reached the
good age of 80 years and 3 montha. Mrs.
Gaetzemeyer was a native of Germany, and
came to this country about 45 years ago,and
with her husband aad family settled on the
farm on which abe continued to reside until
her death. Her husband died about 14
years ago. She enjoyed the best of health,
and was in the full possession of all her
faculties until about a month ago, when she
had an attack of paralysis, which rendered
her helpless and finally resulted in death.
She had a family of ten children, nine of
whom are krill living. The only two in this
country, however, are Mrs. Davidson, of
this town, and George, of McKillop. The
others are all in the States. She was a
kind-hearted and obliging woman ; a good
neighbor and an affectionate mother. She
belonged, however, to a generation that has
now nearly passed away.
—The second death is that of Mrs. Murdo
McLeod, mother of Mr. Angus McLeod
and Mrs. Alee ander Gordon and Mrs.
Duncan McGregor, of McKillop. Mrs.
McLeod. died on Monday at the residence of
her daughter, Mrs. Gordon, with.whom sbe
had resided for several years. She had
reached the great age of 88 years. Her
maidee name was Mary McLean, and she
was a native of Rosshire, Scotland. Her
husband and herself were among the first
residents in McKillop, and she acted well
her part in life's drama. She was a person
of strong individnslity, and was intelligent
in a marked degree, but above all she was a
consistent Christisn. To her, and others
like her, this young country is indebted for
much. She was also ail affectionate and
tender mother, a kind and obliging neigh-
bor, and her memory will long ire- affection-
ately cherished by all who enjoyed her
acquaintance. She retained all her faculties
until the last and suffered from no particular
disease, but simply succumbed to exhausted
nature. The remains were interred in the
Egmondville cemetery on Tuesday beside
those of -her departed husband, whose joys
and sorrows she had ahared for so many
years.

carried his audience from Hensall right out
to the Pacific Coast, taking in all the cities
and enjoying the beautiful and changing
scenery, so vividly real and life -like

the old market grounds eliould be left for a
cattle and hog market, as it is a suitable
place, and he censiders the grounds should

a benefit to the village financially

THI1 PATRONS OF INDUSTRY.—The Pat-
rons of Industry held a meeting in the towat
ship hall, in war village on Saturday last, at
which interesting discussions took place.
Mr. Wm. Montgomery, of Orange Hill, saki
that the farmers represent seven-tentbs of
our population, and that the remaining
three -tenths ruled the seven. It is truer
that the manufacturers and the Canadian,
Pacific Railway rule our country—a result
of the National Policy. Mr. James Mitt
chell made a good speech, in w.hich he re-
ferred to the platform of the Society, and
explained the objects of the organization,
The speakers were admonished to avoid the
dangerous ground of party' politics, and it
was quite apparent that some of them labor-
ed strenuously to steer clear of this sand -
I bar, , From the tenor of the speeches f
I would infer that the farmers are the most
gullible of all classes—aspecielly about
election time. There certainly is some hope
for them, when they begin to see that in the
paet they voted for the benefit of others and
directly against their own interests.
