Holmes & -Smith for the executor, Thomas Holmes, father of the deceased.

THE &max TOURNAMEN T.—The bicycle tournament in this town on Friday next, August 5th,now promisee to be a grand suc- cess and all that is required to make it so is favorable weather. The track is nearly com- pleted, and will be ready for use in a day or so. It will,when finished, be a firet-class track and one which any town would be proud of. Besides the noted riders which will be here, negotiations are going on be- tween Stratford. Owen Sound and Sarnia to have the Western Road race, long talked of in the papers, between the above mentioned clube, run, in Seaforth on the day of the tournament. The numerous costly and use- ful prizes are on Exhibition in the show win- dow of Messrs. jackson Brothers, with the exception of three watches which were re- cently stolen, but these will be replaced. by ones equally Valuable. It is a long time since Seaforth has had a bicycle tournament, and the people should heartily support' the boys in their effort to make it a grand suc- cess. It would be a good idea if ,the merchants would close the places of business on that afternoon, and thus -give their em- ployes an opportunity of seeing the sports. THE LATE Ruoff Bnere—Mr. Hugh Bell, of Goderich Street, departed this life on Monday.afternoon last. Mr. Bell has been in failing health fae several years. He firet suffered from an abscess, which in conjunc- tion with an affection of the lungs, proved too much for a once rugged constitution. Mr. Bell was 69 years of age. He was one of the pioneer residents of this county, having come from Ireland about 50 years ago, and settled on a farm in the township of Hullett, where he continued to reside until about five years ago when, owing to declining health he solo his farm and removed to Sea- forth,where he has since resicihd. He leaves a widow and family of six, all of whom are grown up. Among the children are Mra. John Fowler, of this town, and Mr. John Bell, of Londesboro. In the earlier days he was a sub -contractor on this part of the Grand Trunk railway when it was being con- structed. He also was a contractor on the Northern gravel road between Clinton and Wingham. -He was a hard working, indus- trious man ; obliging neighbor and a good citizen. The reMains were interred in the Union Cemetery, Blyth, on Wednesday. AlsrOTHER BACHELOR GONE.—The Mitchell Recorder of last week says : Mr. W. Ryan, one of the prominent young bachelors and an aldermen of the town, led to the altar on Tuesday one of the fairest daughters of Mc- Killop township. The marriage toak place at Irishtown church, conduoted by the Rev. Dean Murphy, assisted by Rev. Father Mc- Cabe, and the bride was Miss Agnes Dow- ney, second daughter of Stephen Downey, Esq., of McKillop. We do not know the young lady in question, though we have heard much of her popularity and accom- plishments. She has been for some years organist in the Irishtown church and always prominent in church and social movements. Of Mr, Ryan, both as a public and privste citizen, we know much. To know more would only be to multiply his worth and increase bit popularity. Ile is one of our prosperous manufacturers. a member of the town council, an active Liberal politician, and personally a capital good fellow. He and hie accomplished young bride have gone east ta Montreal to spend their honeymoon. We wish them a pleasant tour and on their return a long, happy and prosperous life. BUROLARY.—On Monday night or early Tuesday morning some evil disposed persons broke into the stationery store of Mee C. W. Papst and made free with that which did not belong to them. They effeoted an en- trance by bursting open the rear outside cellar door, This door was secured by a wooden bar behind it. This bar wea broken and the breaking of the bar must have been aocomplished by main strength in shoving against the door as there were no marks on the door, thus showing that the partiee possessed considerable muscle. They then came up the cellar stairway leading to the office in the rear of the store. 'At the head of the stairs they were confronted by an- other locked door. Several holes were bored through this door as if with a brace and bit, but the object of this is not appar- ent se they at length got it open by bursting the lock. They at first apparently directed their attention to the large safe, which was standing in that part of the building. The safe doors were closed, but were not locked. The contents of the safe had bean pretty thoroughly overhauled. A private drawer in the aide, which was locked, had been pried and battered open with an iron bar, as the end of the drawer was *meshed to atoms and the fragments thrown on the floor.- Bat the rascals did not get anything in this drawer for their trouble as it con- tained only private papers which they left lying around on the floor. The safe also contained coneiderable jewelry, but so far as i Mr. Papst can tell none of this is missing. A tray of gold rings was taken out land left on the floor but none of the rings were taken. A small box containing some ten or twelve dollars in money belonging to a society for which dlr. Papst is treasurer, did not escape notice as the box was emp- tied, the money taken and the box left. The till in the store was next examined end some small change taken. There were also in the till some one, two and three pent post- age stamps ; the three cent s taniiffis were taken and the others left. Mr. Pspet has not yet missed any article feom his stock. Having got through with Mr, Papat's store the rascals removed a bar that fastened the back door leading to the rear y rd, and made their escape from the premise in that way, but did not take the trouble to shut itny of the doors behind them. They next directed their attention to the adjoining store of Messrs, Jackson Brothers. By breaking a pane of glass in the window they succeeded in gaining tan entrance to this store, Here, however, they had not evidently disturbed anything further than to appropriate and carry away three gold watch cases which had been got by the bi- cycle club for prizes at the approaching tournament and which were on exhibition in this window. These cases, however, will not be of mach use to them as they did not contain the works and they will n t be able to dispose of tbem without dm ing sus- picion to themselves. Judging rom the bungling manner in which the ork was accomplished it is almost cartel.' that it* was not experts who were engaged in it and it must have been done by some persons tolerably well acquainted with the premises. We believe as yet there is no clue to the perpetrators, but in view of the fact that the burglars must have had a light and must also have made a good deal of noise, it is surprising that the night watchman, if he was on duty, did notehear or see any- thing of what was going on. MARRIED IN MANITOBA.—An esteemed correspondent writes us from Hi h Bluff, Manitoba, as ,follows : One of tho e happy events which Always cause a rip le of ex- citement among the gentler sex and in which one of Tuckersmith's fairest and best daughters played an active part. t ok place at the Manse, High Bluff, on We nesday, July 13th, when the Rev. M. C. Rumball tied the nuptial knot between r. Hugh Grant, eldest son of Donald Grant, Esq., of , High Bluff, and Miss.Maggie, fourth daugh- ter of Neil Brown, Esq.,of the Kippen road, Tuckersmith.

We bespeak for thezn a happy and prosperous voyage on the sea of matri- monial life and we feel confident t at they will not only seek to be mutually h lpful to each other but also to raise the standard of social life to a nobler and purer tutilt; which, after all, is onesof the chief objects of mar- ried life. After paying a flying visit to near and dear relatives they settled down to the active duties of life carrying with them the congratulations and good wishee of a host of friends."

It seems a pity that the circle of duty in the lives of so many women. is never broken by a variation of this kind. Life would be more worth living if the tired wives and mothers of our land would let up from the ceaseless round of everyday wear. But many sot as though the ,domestic machinery would stop if their guiding arm were not present. Well, the world moves on still after countless thousands have worn themselves into premature graves wrestling with home duties. Stop this eternal stew- ing, baking, scouring and frilling once in a while or nature, tired beyond endurance, will call you to a sudden halt. Theme re- marks do not apply to the round of nothing- ness lived by many, whose greatest exertion is to find some new excitement. —In his peregrinations in the country, your scribe is nstnrally anxious to learn the cause con- tributing to success or failure of our rural population in spite of bad government and defective trade regulations. In reply to my interrogation, one thrifty young farmer said, " We had good, honest, industrious parents, and have tried to live up to_their exemple." Another, more than initially prosperous, gave a -similar answer, as he mopped the perspiration from his honest face, for old Sol was doing hie level best tit fry the fat out of everybody that day and the good man was busy cutting wheat. These men were not interested in annexa- tion, as advocated by White, Pringle and company, disappointed protectionists,though free trade or reciprocity wopld be a boon to them. By the way, Mr. Pringle's annexa- tion theory may prove to him, should he live to see it bloom into active operation, as baseless a vision as his pet protectionist idea of years ago has proven. It is, per- haps, a pertinent question to ask, " Why did Mr. Pringle leave a country blessed by so mnny privileges and return to Canada, a country cursed, as he thinks, by connection with an effete European power ?" • Kippen. BINDING TWINE.—Farmers wanting good Binding Twine, can get well supplied by going to T. Meths Kipper). He has three different varieties to select 'from. Call and examine quality and get prices.
