'THE HURON EXP SITOR.
-of
Gorrie.
Banns. —Rev. M. Wihent occupied the
Presbyterian pulpit here on Sunday last.
Be lectured in the church on Mendel even-
ing.—On Tuesday night of last week a shop
owned by Mr. W. S. Bean, and occupied by
Mr. Taman, tailor, was totally destroyed by
fire. About 12 o'clock the fire bell rang,
and in a short timer a large number were en-
gaged endeavoring to extinguish the fire,
but their efforts were useless, the fire having
made rapid progress. Luckily there was
not much wind during the fire. Had there
been a strong south wind doubtless tbe
greater part of the buildings on the east side
of main street would Imre been consumed.
The origin of the fire is not generally known.
Mr. Doig, our populsil jeweller, has a pair
of wars that will probably surprise some
of the sports during the racing season,—The
Methodist church has been removed to the
rear of Mr. Bean's store and is to be con-
verted into a- livery stable.—Mr. Robert
Blow has been awarded the brickwork of the
new Methodist church, to be erected on the
old site. Mr. Blow is a first-class workman,
and the Methodists are fortunate in their
choice of a man for this part of the work.—
Mr. C. C. Keine, of Albert College, Belle-
ville'is spending a short time at his home.
Mr. Kaine has been quite successful so far,
and as he is said to be very persevering, it is
safe to predict still greater success in the
future. Misses R. and L. Keine daughters
of Mr. John Keine, reeve of flowick, are
also attending the same institution as their
brother is, and are meeting with great suc-
cess. We are pleased to learn that students
front the west are able to hold their own in
those eastern institutions.—Mr. Horton's
children, who had been suffering from an
attack of diphtheria, are now convalescent.
So far the disease has not spread in the vil-
lage.—Our butchers, Horton and Cole, have
formed a combine and bre now occupying
one shore—A few days ago the wife of Rev.
Mr, Carter presented him with a baby
daughter, and the Rev. gentleman seems to
appreciate the present. —The Gerrie Metho-
dists intend to occupy the town ball until
such time as their new church will be com-
pleted.—Last week Mr. Wigfins, of this
-village, received the sad intelligence that
his son, who resided in Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia, died suddenly in that place. Mr.
Wiggins has the sympathy of the entire
community in his sad bereavement.—Mrs.
A. Carson, who spent the greater part of the
winter in Toronto, arrived home last Thurs-
day.—At the Mechanic's Institute meeting
on Monday afternoon of this week, the fol-
lowing officers were appointed Henry Har-
ding, president; Robert Blow, vice-presi-
dent; Wm. Doig, Treasurer; S. T. Fennell,
Secretary; S. T. Fennell, Librarian; di-
rectors, Jahn Perkins, 3. R. Williams, J.
B. Campbell, Amos Doan, Dr. Tuck, James
Armstrong, Wm. Doig, W. J. Greer, N.
McLaughlin, W. H. Clegg.
Life of .Alexander Mackenzie.
Mr. Wm. Buckingham, of Stratford, and
Eon. G. W. Roes, Minister of Education,are
engaged in preparing the" Life of Alexander
Mackenzie," which will be issued from the
press in Toronto at an early day. The task
could not have been undertaken by gentle-
men more familiar with the career of the
deceased statesman, or better equipped in
other respects for the literary work, Mr.
Buckingham very ably discharged the
duties of private secretary to Mr. Mackenzie
during the entire period of that gentlemares
Premiership, and has, no doubt, the most
accurate knowledge of the general policy of
the Administration of that day, as well as
of the roany trial', temptations, and diffi-
culties with which the Premier had to con-
tend. The forthcoming work will be await-
ed with much interest, as it will be a most
important contribution to the political
literature of the country.
The Caron Charges.
The Globe's Ottawa despatch on Thursday
says: In the House to -day the debate on the
Caron charges wag resumed. The Govern-
ment moved an amendment in which they
drew up a new list of oharges against the
Postmaster -General, which they proposed to
refer to a royal commiesion. The debate
continued through the afternoon and even-
- ing, and at one o'clock a.m. Sir Richard
Cartwright moved another amendment de-
claring that the House would refuse to
allow the investigation to be removed
from Parliamentary control and committed
to a commission appointed on the recom-
mendation of Sir Adolphe and his colleagues;
that it viewed with repugnance the proposi-
tion to permit the accused to alter the
charges and substitute new ones drawn up
by himself or his colleagues, and that the
proposal that be should be allowed
to appoint his awn judges was de-
signed to defeat the ends of justice. At
three o'clock Thursday morning a divi-
sion was taken, Sir Richard Cartwright's
amendment to the amendment being voted
down by a majority of 62, and. Mr. Bowell's
amendment to Mr. Eclgar'e motion being
carried by the same majority.

of his thighs, but thought it would pass off
in a minute as is usual in such cases. Both
limbs, however, soon became numb and
then dark in color, and it was soon evident
that his life was in danger. The doctors
who were consulted pronounced it a case of
sciatic rheumatism, but were unable to give
any relief. The disease rapidly gained
ground until death occurred on Tuesday

ness. Deceased was in his 59th year, hav-

A NEW DEPARTURE.—I have done no ad-
vertising for the last six or seven yews, for the sim-
ple reason that I could not truthfully offer the same
inducements -that others in my line of business were
offering, such as selling at met and under cost, and
quoting selling prices below what 1 could purchase
wholesale. But, as I have seen no such advertise-
ments lately. I think it might be well to let the peo-
ple of Seaforth and its surroundings know that I am
still in business, with a very large stock of nearly all
the various lines kept in a retail boot and shoe store,
and bought with the advantage of an experience of
50 years in the business. With the object in view,
for my own sake, to give my customers the best value
possible for their money, and as I am getting heartily
tired of the credit system, as an inducement to cash
buyers, I will give, on all purchases of over $1, five
per cent. discount for cash, and, as my goods were
all marked in plain figures before I concluded to
make this offer, parties who buy for cash will get
goods at an advance on cost that ought to satisfy
even the Patrons of Industry. In custom made work
I can promise no improvement, as I have always done
my level best to give the very best article that men
and money could produce. The neatness with which
I have my repairing done is well understood.. That
is all at present, only I tender my thanks for past
patronage, and the hope for a continuance of the
same. THOMAS Covererav, Main Street, Seaforth.

sold at from 5+c to 6c per lb, and though the run was
comparatively light the supply was sufficient for the
demand. About a dozep spring lambs were here,
and they sold at from $3 to *4.25 eaoh, but they were
mostly too small, and as yet we have hut little en-
quiry. Hogs—The supply was large and prices gave
way from from 30c to 50e per hundred weight. For
some very choice hogs, weighed off cars, aS much as
85.10 was paid this morning, but $4.75 to $5 was the

ANNUAL MAY SALE
—OF
BOOTS
—AND—
SHOES.
We start with this month our
annual 30 day sale of Boots and Shoes.
We were much pleased with our sales
for May 1891—We expect to be better
pleased with May, 1892. An increase
of 20% is the record for April, 1892,
over April, 1891, all of which means
that we are selling the right kind of
goods at the right prices. Trade in-
crease comes of having just what you
want, as you want, and -when.
It works like a charm on a pale face. The Bitters remove the foul mat-
ter frori the system and tone every "par, while the Iron adds fresh blood, and
turns the pale, weak person to health, robust health, longed -for health, and the
coniple ion to a thing of beauty. Th re is iao need of any person being
homely and pale and weak. If they w11 use the above combination, they will
surpris; themselves in the improvemen of their appearance. It builds up the
appetit and puts life and vim in every atom of the body, and in this way
makes ti tself .popular with all who use it. A cnetomer had been sick all sum-
mer trYins• everything he could hear of to improve his condition, but without
success until he heard of the wonder working powers of Mandrake ,Blood
Builder. He procured a bottle and inside of a week he was at work again.
It imploved his appetite and added new life and ambition to his spirits, and
thus it wins its popularity with every one who uses it. Large pint bottles 75c

YEARS' RECORD.
It is now ten years since we first
opened our doors for business in Sea -
forth. Durinc, all this time, through
good report and through evil report, we
have eontinued on the even- tenor of
our ways without interruption, or
change, to build up OUT huAiness and
to supply our patrons with the best
-goods :that money and brains could pro-
cure and at prices that afforded simply
a living profit.
The star grocery is to -day the only.
grocery business in Seaforth - that has
not undergone some material change
during the last ten years either through
&solution of partnership, new co-
partnership, selling;out or other causes.
Our boot and shoe -business also is with
one exception, ROW the oldest undis-
turbed boot and shoe business in the
town.
On entering on our second decade,
we think it a fitting time to express
publidy and sincerely our appreciation
of the generous support that has been
accorded us since commencing business
in Seaforth, .and to announce with no
uncertain sound, our determination to
adhere to the principle,. which we have
tried -and tested for ten long years,
namely; sdiling good goods cheap,
a determination also to not ,only hold
the ground we have gained but to reach
out after a larger and more extensive
business.
