FOOT BALL.—The foot ball match played here on Monday afternoon last, by the Hurons of See.forth and the Detroits of De- troit, was one of the most keenly contested and interesting that has been played here for a long time. The weather was delight- ful, and there was a large attendance of spectators, the fair sex being, as usual, in the majority. The Hurons were in good form i and gave their opponents all they wanted to do. The Detroits are larger and heavier than our boys, and have greater strength but less skill. They are, however, a fine, gentlemanly lot of young fellows, and the Hurons are always pleased to meet them, even if they do not succeed in beating them. There were six goals scored, each club winning three, the match thus result- ing in a tie. PHONOGRAPH CONGERT.—On Friday even- ing something novel in the way of enter- tainments in this vicinity was held in Kidd's Hall. It was a phonograph concert, under the auspices of the 33rd Battalion band. The hall wae pretty well filled and all present seemed to appreciate the concert. Every piece of music, whether vocal or in- strumental, rendered by this most wonderful of inventions, the phonograph, could be heard clearly and distinctly in every part of the hall. In the reproduction of selections by bands, the various instruments could all be distinctly discerned. While in vocal seIectione the different voices, as well as the tones of the voice and also the words of the song, were quite distinct. Besides the selections on the phonograph the Harmonica Club, composed of the members of theAbande gave some good music. Mr. W. McLeod sang a song- which was reproduced in the phonograph. : The McLeod Brothers also favored the audience with a couple of well rendered selections on the ocarino. The entertainment was brought to a close by a selection from the band.

HAPPY EVENT. —A very pleasant time wae spent at the residence of Mr. Angus McDermid, on the Huron Road between Clinton and Seaforth, on Wednesday last. The occasion was the rnarriaere of Mr. Mc- Dermid's second daughter, 'Miss Isabella Burnside, to Mr. John McDowell, of the townehip of MoKillop. Tbe ceremony was nerformed by the Rev. Mr. Stewart, of Olinton, in the presence of a large number of friends of the contracting parties. The marriage took place at eleven o'clock a, m., and after the cereMony was performed and the usual congratulations extended, the happy company sat down to a dinner pre- pared to suit the occasion, and it is needless to say that Mr. and Mrs. McDermid had spared no pains to spread a feast to, tempt the most epicurean taste. The bride was dressed neatly and looked handsome and the groom with his usual good natured smile, wore t'he look of a happy man. The bride was the recipient of many handsome and costly presents which showed the esteem in which she is held by her friends and acquaint - awes. Mr. McDowell is a well-to-do farm- er in the township of McKillop. Mr. and Mrs. McDoivell left on the afternoon train to spend the honeymoon with friends in Uncle Sam's land. They intend returning next week and will settle down to the stern . realities of life in their beautiful home on the Maitland river. The congratulations of their many friends will be extended to them, and all will join with us in wishing them a pleasant and prosperous journey through life together. • EGMONDVILLE NOTES.—Miss Kelly and Mies McKellar, of Blyth, were guests of Miss Maggie Sproat, during the Teachers' Institute Convention.—The Blyth Presby- terians have been undergoing the ordeal of organ introduction, like ourselves. We are pleased to learn, however, that but slight opposition has been shown to the change. The usual consistency has been manifested by the opponents, who have gone to the Methodist church, a very good place to go, where musical instruments have been a valued addition to church service. Such a course is, perhaps, preferable to absenting oneself entirely from worship, but neither is well calculated to impress favorably the rising generation.—Mr. William McCaa is spending this week visiting relatives in To- ronto.—We are pleesed to note that Mr. S. Carnochan is improving in health, though not so quickly as his many friends could de- sire.—Mr. John McMenn, our veteran horse dealer, is a veraatile genius ; notwithstand- ing his extensive operations on the horse market and ferm, he is able to devote at- tention to the beautiful, and is now having his grounds nicely levelled in preparation for one of the finest lawns in the village.—The kindliest sympathies of this whole com- munity will be extended to the Rev. Mr. Needham in his bereavement, his mother having died on Monday. She had been ail- ing for some time, and he was called to her bedside on Wedneeday of last week,—Your scribe was gratified at receiving a eall on Monday from Mr. R. J. Densmore. The pure air and cool breezes of Ontario appear to have exterminated the last traces of malarial fever from his system, and so in- vigorated has he become that he has dared the benedict responsibilities, and taken to himself a wife to share his joys and sor- rows. We fear many of the latter for her, if she cannot induce him to quit his per- egrinations in such places as the swamps of Central America. He, however, has prom- ised better things for the future, and pur- poses locating in New York. As a clever correspondent and pressman,- who reflects credit on our village, from whose school he graduated, we are pleased to extend our warmest congratulations at this time, and trust that our anticipations of a happy future for him and his amiable young wife may be more than realized. SEAFORTII AT THE UNIVERSITIES.—The lists of TGronto University, issued on Sat- urday, contain, as usual, the names of several ex -students of our Collegiate Insti- ate, and their standing shows that they have done credit to their forbears and their upbringing in the pure atmoiphere of Huron. In the fourth year, W. M. Govenlock, W. McQueen, and W. O. M. McTaggart became full-fledged B. A's, Govenlock, McQueen and MoTaggart graduating with heelers in mathematics. In the third year, G. R. Anderson receives' first class honors in both sections of physics, and R. Reid first class in English and Span- ish, with second class in Italian French and German_ In the second year, W.B. Howell in classics and J. S. Muldrew ih philosophy are ranked in bonors, and W. McLeod re- ceives, honors in mathematics of the first year. To these names should be added those of Misses Janet and Isabella Barr,who gained honors at Queen's University, Kings- ton, and that of J. McFadzean, who has just received his M. D. from Victoria, mak- ing in all 12 representatives of our school at the colleges, with one or two more to hear from. As shown by the above statement all our students have passed successfully, and most of them stand well up in the honor list of their respective years. They have done remarkably well ; they reflect credit on Seaforth, which may well feel proud of such a representation at the Universities as very few towns can boast. These telented young men and women have carefully fol- lowed the example given them in previous years by the Dixons, Prendergaste, McKays and others, and the fair record they have now made will be an inspiration and anin- centive to those who may follow them in the honorable procession of students that hes passed through the Collegiate Institute dur- ing the past thirteen years. We wish them still more success. ExotsitsioN.—A grand Sunday School ex- cursion to Port Huron, Michigan, through the Sarnia tunnel, will take place on 14 ednesday, June 22nd, from Seaforth and other tow ns along the line. See large bills for particulars. 1278-2 ILLUSTRATED SEAFORTII.—The illustrated description of Seaforth, spoken of some :time ego, appeared in supplement form in last Saturday's Mail. In some respects it is disappointing, and is not by any means a -flattering representation of our lively town. The two sectional views of Main street give but a poor idea of the business part of, the town, while several of the most important manufacturing establishments are not, re- presented at all, and but two of the many large and handsome private residences. In addition to this the photo-engravinge are not nearly as distinct or ,well printed as they ehould be. The fault, however, is not with Mr. Anderson, the gentleman who re- presented the Mail here. He has done his -part as well as could be desired, but his printers did not favor him, and many of our manufacturer!) and business men de- clined to pay the price asked to have their establishments eet forth in pictorial form. As a restilt, the enterprise is disappointing and will, we fear, be of doabtful benefit to the town. It is a very difficult matter to do a town:fiill justice in an illustrated de- scription Of fthis kind, especially on the principle mnwhich these are gotten up. The aim on the part of the publishers is to get a sufficient number of contributors to pay the cost of production. If they succeed. in doing this a fair representation of the place may be got but, if not,ae in the case of Seaforth, the work is slighted, the towne does not appear to as good advantage as it should, and the result is disappointment and dissatisfaction. Until the publishers succeed in evolving some better scheme for the carrying out of the work they should abandon the business, as it does themselves injury and has an injurious influence on the country, as it makes the towns repre- sented appear disadvantageously before the world, and in this way must injure the country abroad, instead of, as it is intended to do, giVe straegers an accurate idea of the country's resources and importance. We may say that Seaforth is not the only illustrated town that has been disappointed over the result. 1 • LOCAL BRIEFS.—Messrs. Mullett & Jack- son have now got comfortably located in their new store, A. Kidd's old stand. They now have one of the largest and neatest stove and tinware stores in the county, and as they are both practical, pushing men, they will, no doubt, do a /ergo and profit- able trade.—Mr. James McIntosh, of the 2nd concession of McKillop, is having a handsome new brick residence erected this summer, in which we wish for our genial friend and his worthy partner many years of comfort and happiness.

He reports crops in his section and along the way all promis- ing finely.—Mr. James Sproat, of this town, intends going to Manitoba with his cousins, to work for the summer, and if he likes the country he will probably remove there per- manently.—Mr. John McLaren, father of Mr. J. F. McLaren, formerly of this town, died at his residence in Toronto on Sunday last. Mr. McLaren was well known and highly respected in this vicinity, having re- sided for many years in Dublin, and previ- ously to that in Cromarty, township of Hib- bert. He had been ill for several months.

A BAD ACT.—A most diabolical attempt was made on Saturday night last to derail the night train going west. The train that evening was adittle behind time and had on an unusually large number of passengers. It seems that Mr. Thomas Palterman, formerly of McKillop, but who now resides in Staple- ton, was in Seaforth on that day. On ar- riving at the station he learned that the train was late. Rather than wait he started out to walk on the track. The night was somewhat dark and he carried a lighted lan- tern with him. When he got to the high bridge near Stapleton he was horrified to find that several obstructions had been placed on the bridge with the evident inten- tion of throwing the train from the track. With great presence of mind Mr. Palterman started back along the track as fast as he could to stop the passenger train which he knew would soon be along. He had not gone very far when he saw her corning, and by waving his lantern and making other signals he succeeded in attracting the atten- tion of the engineer and stopping the train. On approaching the bridge the oonductor and train hands found that Mr. Palterman's story was but too true. On examination it was found that heavy posts about 12 feet long had been carefully wedged upright be- tween the sleepers of the bridge and were supported by huge stones, any one of which would have caused the immediate deitruc- tion of the train. At intervals of a few yards were similar obstructions, which showed that the perpetrators were fully bent on carrying out their plans. The obstruc- tions were soon removed and the train pro- ceeded on its way. The bridge is one which crosses the Bayfield river. It is a very high one, and if the train were to leave the track here it would certainly plunge into the abyss below with terrible results: It was a narrow escape. So far as we have learned there are no suspicions as to the guilty par- ties, and there is no object to be gained by such a dastardly act except to kill and de- stroy. This is the:same bridge where, a few years ago,a, terrible accident was averted by a passer along the track noticing that the bridge had sunk some feet, on account of the freshet, and be succeeded in stopping the train just in the nick of time. It is a pity if villains,Who could be guilty of such a cold blooded act, are allowed to go undetected and unpunished. Hills Green. FARM SOLD.—Mr. John G. Troyer has sold his 50 acre farm which is situated on the town line east of this place, to Mr. Thomas Coleman. We have not learned the price but understand that Mr. Troyer got a good figure for it. He intends going to Manitoba in the f o push his fortune in that country. _ Blake. TEE CHEESE FAcToRY.—Mr. Andrew Kipfer has started np the cheese factory about one mile south of this place, and now has it running full blast. We hope he will do a good season's business. DIED AT A GOOD OLD AGE. —Our esteemed citizen, Mr. D. B. Steckle, recently return- ed from the old home in the county of Wa- terloo, whither he had been on a sorrowful mission, his mother having died en the 16th of May. Mrs. Steckleswas the widow of the late Rev. John Steckle. She was a native of the county of Waterloo and was 84 years of age, being one of tha oldest residents of the county. She was a worthy Christian woman and was beloved alike by all who knew h'er. The remains were interred in the Strasburg Mennonite cemetery. Leadbury. BRIEFS.—Fall wheat is looking well,and heavy crop of hay is assured. The spring crops have suffered slightly from wet. --Jas. Bell has men engaged moving the barn, which he purchased from William Drager. He has a considerable distance to bring it, and it is a tedious job. San NEws.—Mr. and Mrs. James Coates, of this vicinity, a few days ago received a sad message informing them of the death of their eldest daughter, Jackson, which took place near Melita, Manitoba, on the 5th inst. One year ago last March she was married to Mr. William Crawford, and full of hope and happinese they left almost im- mediately for their new home in the West. Mrs. Crewford was a general favorite here, and by her amiable disposition made friends wherever she went. Her death will be a sad bereavement to her husband and parents and all will have the sincerest sympathy ex- tended to them. She leaves a little daugh- ter a few days old. SERIOUS RUNAWAY.—One day het week, as Mr. J. J. Irvine was driving a spirited young horse attached to a top buggy, he laid down the lines to raise the top, which frightened the animal, and he sprang off -the road, causing the rig to collide with the fence with euch, force as to knock the seat off. Mr. Irvine was wedged between the wheel and box for some time, and then thrown to the ground. One of his feet be- coming fast in the connections underneath, he was dragged along some distance. Being an active man he raised himself up and clasped hie arms arouud the axle, the horse all the while going at a mad gallop. The buggy finally struck a fence post with such force as to leave the bind wheels behind, when Mr. Irvine became rescued from hie perilous position. He is severelY cut, bruited and shaken up, but bears hie pain with composure, and we are pleased to say he is recovering, although slowly. The beggy is badly wrecked, but the , horse esoaped uninjured. ; -i Walton. SUDDEN DEATH.—The people of this vi- cinity Whre pained tp learn of the very sud- den death of Mrs. G,eorge Campbell, of the town line, east of this village, which took place on Thursday of last week, i Mrs. Campbell was at church on Sunday previous and was around attending to her duties as usual on Monday, and was heard to remark that she had not felt better for yearii: On Monday evening she took a severe and sud- den chill, followed by a high fever, which did its work in a remarkably short tinie,and despite all that medical skill could do she passed peacefully away on Thursday. , Mrs. Campbell's maiden .pame was Agnes McIn- nes. She was; a teeter of MT. DonsW Mc- Innes of the Thanies Road, Usher* and Mr. john McInnes, of Exeter. She was a coinparatively young woman, being ohly 53 years of age. Her husband died in 1883, and she was left with a large family o email children, but her indomitable pluc and great perseverance stood her in good tead, and she proved both, father and mot er to il her little ones. She eayes a family of seven boys and three girls, he youngest bein about 11 years of age. T ey will long cher sh in afiectionate rememhrance the kind st of mothers and the wisest of counsellors. Two sons and one daughter are in Manitoba Mrs. Campbell was highly respected in the eigh- borhood and her death will create a blank which will not be eapily filled. • Brupefield. - J. A.

He was unconscious for over a day, and his arm was broken, but hopes are entertained for hie recovery.

GRAND CONCERT.—A grand concert was held in the Foresters' hall on Friday even- ing, June 3rd, under the auspices of the In- dependent Order of Good Templars of Blue - vale. The drawing card of the evening was Ralph Bingham, the boy orator. Being a son of the Emerald Isle, there is a strong probability of his having been fed on butter- milk and potatoes which in all probability accounts for his largeness of stature.
