DISTRICT MATTERS.
THE SALT COMBINE.—The statement is
made that there is a big row among the
members of the salt combine, and &Jew suit
is the outcome. Last December the salt
manufacturers formed a trust, and they all
stuck to it until a few days ago, when a
Kincardine firm gave notice of withdrawal.
The other members of the trust obtained an
interim injunction from the County Judge
of Huron restraining this firm from break-
ing the combine, and two weeke from Friday
last the injunction will be fought out at
Osgoode Hall.
CRICKET.—The Sesforth cricket club are
making a good record for themserves this
season, Following their victory at Wood-
stock on Dominion Day, they scored another
triumph at Brussels on the 7th. Brussels
made 42 and 46 respectively in each inuings;
Seaforth making 62 and 33 for three wickets.
Seaforth won by seven wickets. For Sea -
forth Mr. H. J. Punchard scored 22 and not
out ; R. S. Hays, 13 ; F. Beattie, 11 and
R. Beattie, 11, not out, Far Brussels Harry
Dennis scored 13 in esch innings, and D.
ROSS 10 in the second innings. :E. C. Cole-
man, of the Sesforth team, kept up his av-
erage with 12 wickets for 42 runs.
A HAPPY EVENT.—A few days ago the
home of Mr. Richard Pollard, of Leadbury,
McKillop, was made the scene of a very in-
teresting and happy event. On the llth
inst., surrounded by their friends, Miss
Phoebe Rheinhart, of Leadbury, late of
Toronto; and E. S. Hogarth, B. A., of Exe-
ter, late of Woodstock, and son of S. Ho-
garth, Esq., of Stephen, were united in mar-
riage. Pastors Ottawell and Sanderson of-
ficiated. Miss L. Pollard, of London, acted
for the bride, while Dr. N. F. Harrison, of
Detroit, assisted the groom. After an early
dinner the bridal pair took the train at Sea -
forth, and will visit Saratoga, New York,
Boston and other eastern points. On their
return Mr. and Mrs. Hogarth will make
their home in Hamilton, in the Collegiate
Institute of which city Mr. Hogarth has
been engaged as modern language master.
We join with the many friends of the bride
and groom in wishing them a most happy
future.
resignation, setting forth that at a congre-
gational meeting duly convened, the
congregation reaolved to procure a perma-
nent assistant to Dr. McDonald, and to leek
the Presbytery to refuse to accept his
resignation, the Presbytery express their
satisfaction with the decision of the congre-
gation of Seaforth in their desire to have
Dr. McDonald's ministry continued among
them, and with their oensiderate offer to
procure a permanent aesistant for him, and
decline to accept the Doctor's resignation."
Dr. McDonald acquiesced in the decision.
Commissioners from Leeburn and Union
ohnrch, Goderich Townehip, appeared ask-
ing that the aforesadd oongregations be put
in the list of vacant charges that they might
have a settled pastor over them. The mat-
ter was delayed till next meeting.
FOOT -BALL, — HURONS FS. LISTOWEL.—
The Hurons added another to their already
long list of victories by defeating the Marl-
boros of Listowel, on the latter's grounds
on Friday lest. The mateh was called at
3.55, with a large crowd in attendanc,e, the
stores being closed to allow merchants and
their employes to be present. For the first
fifteedminutes of the game Listowel pressed
hard upon the Huron's defence, with the re-
sult that after ten minutes' play they scored
on a corner kick. A second goal was soon
added, but disallowed as being off-eide. The
Hurons then awakened to a keen sense of
their position, and the remainder of the
time was characterized by old-time rushes
on the part of the Hurons forwards,although
their combination was severely handicap-
ped by the length of the field, which was
twenty yards too short. However, before
half-time wee called the Hurons warred two
goals and the game then stood two to 1 in
their favor. The second half was a repeti-
tion of, the latter part of the first, but ow-
ing to the excellent defence of the Listowel
team, only one more goal was scored, which
was disellowed on account of off side.
The game thus ended in a victory for the
Hurons of 2 goals to 1. It may be mention-
ed here that thelListowel team,for a compar-
atively young orga,nization,put up a very fair
game, and will give a good account of them-
selves with a little more practice. The boys
speak in excellent terms of the way they
were treated by the Listowel team. The
following composed the Hurons : Goal,—W.
McDonald ; Backs,—J. J. Clennan and W.
G. Willis ; Half-Backs—T. Stephens, J.
Rankin, J. W. Livingston ; Centre,—J. W.
Smith ; Right,—G. A. Dewar and II. Jack-
son ; Left,—H. W. Cresswell and W. M.

The Clerk was instructed to furnish Mr. J.
A. McDonald with extracts in re Drysdale
church. Rev. A. D. McDonald, D. D.. sent
in his resignation of his pastoral charge to
the Clerk some weeks ago requesting him
to take immediate action th'ereon. The doc-
tor's principal reason for his action was, his
inability to perform the work to his own
satislicction, as the congregation increased
so much since he undertook the pastorate of
it. The Clerk cited the congregation in due
order to appear for their interesta at this
Presby tery.Thecongregation met anddecided
to procure a permanent assistant for Dr.
Mc Donald, and appointed commissioners to
appear at the meeting of Presbytery to ear-
nestly oppose his resignation being accepted.

COUNCIL DOINGS.—At the regular meet-
ing of the town council on Monday evening,
tenders were received for the stoning up and
fixing of the well at Jamieson's corner, but
on the recommendation of the Street Com-
mittee the matter was allowed to lie over for
further consideration. Several eOrfnellejlea-
lions respecting market sites were teed, and
after some discussion the following resolu-
tion was adopted : That a by-law be sub-
mitted as soon as possible for the approval
of the ratepayers, to raise by way of a loan
the sum of $14,000 to purchase a mite and
erect a fire hall; hose tower, lock-up, town
hall, etc., suitable for the town, the sum of
$5,900 to be for site, and the balance .for
building, providing the Mayor can secure a
satisfactory assurance from the property
owners of the last burned district, that they
will hold the 'said property at the disponi'
of the Council until the vote on said by-law
is taken, also that a separate vote be taken
at the same time between the following
sites, viz.: lst,—The land on Maid street,
owned by Messrs. Wilson, Holmested, Ew-
ing and Henderson and the property in
rear occupied by Dr, Bethune ; 2nd,—The
old market site. The understanding, of
c,ourse is, that in the event of the by-law
for the $14,000 being carried and the old
market site selected, only sufficient of the
debentures will be used to cover the cost of
the hall, and a provision to this effect will
likely be attached to the by-law. The Mayor
and Messrs. Lyon and Beattie were appoint-
ed a committee to go to Exeter and inspect
the town building in that place, and if
deemed suitable for Seaforth, to have plans
and estimate of cost laid before the Council
at its next meeting. Accounte amounting
to $545 were passed and ordered to be paid.

THE HURON EX13,,g
comfort and pleasure of the visitor.. The
streets in several places were spanned by
arohes and many of the business places and
private residences were handsomely decor-
ated with flags, bunting, Orange emblems,
eto. The lake, of cciurse, was the principal
attraction and the fine breeze was most
refreshing. A fleet of six commodious sail
boat. and numerous smaller craft were kept
busy throughout the day making excursions
on the lake and those who did not enjoy the
luxury of a esil could only blame themselves
as there was room for all who applied.
Many arrived in Bayfield early in the fore-
noon and these enjoyed themselves strolling
through Jewitt's beautiful grove,where many
picnic parties were formed, sailing on the
lake and in other ways common to Bayfield.
At about one o'clock the various lodges as-
sembled on the market square and leaving
formed in procession, headed by the Sea -
forth band, and eaoh lodge led by its banner
and the indispensable fife and drum and
marshalled by Mr. John Beacom, Deputy -
Reeve of Goderich Township, on horseleack,
marched to Jewitt's grove. Here the chair
was taken on the platform by Ceunty Master
Todd, of Clinton, who, after a suitable in-
troductory address, introduced in turn each
of the following speakers, viz.: Rev. Mr.
Bayfield ; Rev. Mr. McConnell,
Chalk River ; Rev. Mr. Kerwin, recently
from South America ; Rev, Mr. Ayers,
Holmesville, and Rev. Mr, Newton, Bay-
field. The addresses,which were of the usual '
order <on such occasions, were attentively
listened to. At about half -past four the
crowd in the park dispersed, many soon
after left for their homes and before dusk
the village assumed almost its usual quiet.
The celebration was, throughout, of the
most orderly and pleasant character, and all
seemed to enjoy the occiesion to the full.
EGMONDVILLE NOTES.—Mr, James Cum-
ming, who intends retiring from farming in

Mr. Needham left on Wednesday for °ril-
l*, where he expecte to spend a well earned
holiday of four weeks. The put six months
have taxed his energies to the utmost ; as
besides other pastoral duties, he has made

however, that relaxation from work will
fully restore him to vigorous health. Rev.
Mr. Lindeay, orToronto, who comes well
recommended, will take charge of the
work during the vacation. Mrs. Needham
intends spending most of the time at the
parental home in Orillia.—Mr. George H.

meeting of the Women's Foreign Mission
Society, held on Tuesday, Mrs. Rose, ef

structive address on Mission work in Africa,

imbued with the spirit of the work, her
presentation of the subject alwaye attracts
particular attention from those who are her
privileged -listeners. — Among the many
lovers and cultivators of flowers in this
village, Mrs. James Forsythe certainly suc-
ceeds in producing the finest succession of
bloom. Surely with so many amateur
florists, it should not be difficult to form a
floral society of considerable proportions.
There is no more attractive pastime, and
none more elevating. Who will make the
advance inovement ?
LOCAL BRIEFS.—Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Turnbull, of the 1st concession, McKillop,
are away on a three months' visit to the
old sod, Stirlingshire being their objective
point. Both Mr. and Mrs. Turnbull have
separately revisited Scotland within the
last few years, but this is the first time they
have made the trip together. We trust they
may have a very enjoyable time and that
it may be a sort of second honey -moon jaunt.

A SCOTTISH LerreR.—We are permitted
to make the following extracts from a very
interesting private letter written by a Scot-
tish clergyman to a clerical friend in this
vicinity. It was written on July let. He
says : " We are now in the heat of a general
election, with almost every seat in Scotland
contested, which, no doubt, causes a good
deal of hard feeling and is not very produc- -
tire of brotherly love or good fellowship.
Possibly it is the most important election in
this country for at least sixty years past, if
not since the Revolution of 1688. The
main issues are Home Rule for Ireland ;
that is, whether Ireland is to be handed
over to the Roman Catholic clergy, or re-
tained under British rule. The next burn-
ing question is the disestabliehment and
disendosvment of the Established Church of
Scotland. But, no doubt you see all these
questions discussed in the newspapers. When
mentioning newspapers, I may say that the
Seaforth EXPOSITOR, which you send me, is
the best I have seen coming from America,
either States or Dominion. We have had
a pretty good summer so far. Spring was
barren, but we have had now plenty of rain
and crepe are looking well, I trust we will
not require so much breadatuffs from you
as last year. We think it rather shsbby
of your Government, to say the latest, to
place such a restrictive duty on our goods
when we admit yours free. We often won-
der the people do not rebel, seeing it is the
consumers who pay the duty. * * *
Have you organs or musical instruments in
your churches in Canada ? The great rage
here now is for fine churches to please the
eye, with organs, &c., to please the ear,
very often I fear sacrificing sense to sound.
I think it would be a difficult question to
answer whether the world is growing bete
ter or worse. No doubt there are a great
many schemes for the benefitof the needy and
wretched, which are all very good, but it
seems to me that there never was more
apathy and ignorance in respect to our
higher destiny."
THE TWELFTH OF JULY.—The Orange-
men were favored with eplendid weather

of Seaforth went to Kincardine and took

southern lodges in this county assembled at
Bayfield. This pleasant rural sum_mer re-
sort was packed full by Vie members of the
order, their wives, daughters, sweethearts,
children and friends. But, large as the at-
tendance was here, there would have been a
still larger crowd and the Orange ranks
would have been better filled but a good
many took advantege of the cheap railway
fares wad went to London, Sam* and other
points. However, the assemblage was quite
large enough for comfort and there was a
good turn out of the members of the order,

THAT CLIIB.—DEAR EDITOR,—YOUF COr-
respondent, under severe mental strain, no
doubt, made a wishy-washy reference, in
last week's issue, concerning the Young
Men's Conservative club. He was likely
sitting on the fence while members were
passing, musing to himself in this fashion :
If that club keeps on growing I'll have to
look for another job. This is to all intents
and putposes what led him to use the words,
" general subjects not bearing on politics."
To a broad and enlightened mind, any sub-
ject yet brought up, had a distinct hewing
on politics. However be that as it may, this
correepondent, whom we know not, deserves
kind mention for his unkind reference to
the club. Some one of the one hundred or
'more members of the club may, in the near
future, open his understanding so that he
may yet, likened unto Saul of Tarsus, be a
warm advocate of the grand principles .of
the great Conservative party. — Yours,

spread with startling rapidity, leaped from
roof to roof and from street to street, and

tion the devouring element had fastened its
