DISTRICT MATTERS.
CRICKET MATCH.—The return naatch be-
tween the married and. single members of
the Seaforth crieket club was played on
Thursday afternoon, last week. This time
the youngsters came out ahead, honore now
being even between the sides, The single
men won the mstcle by 5 wickets. Hays
scored 19 and Roberts 15. These were the
only double figures in the game. Greig car-
ried off the bowling honors, with 12 wickets
for .22 runs ; T. F. Coleman bowled 8 wick-
ets for 29 runs ; Maclennan 9 for 22, and

J. G. Honmes' Werae—The will of the
late.J. G. Holmes was filed for probate, says
the Toronto Empire, by Messrs. Holmes &
-Smith for the executor, Thomas Holmes,
father of the deceased. Altheugh but little
over three years engaged in the practice of
Ism, the deceased had amassed considerable
wealth, which he left to his father, Thomaa
Holmes, Wingharn, to be divided equally
after his death between the two sisters of
the testator. The property is described as
follows : Household goods, books and law
library, $300; book debts, promissory notes
and one-haIf interest in firm, $1,800 ; life
insurance, $1,000; certificate of deposit,
$9,500 ; cash in hand, $25 ; cash in bank,
114,350 ; real esttite, $1,000.—Total, $17,975.
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. They are both of highly
respected families and have always con-
ducted themselves in such a manner as to
win the esteem and good will of all who
knew them. 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."

weather will ripen the spring wheat and
oats too rapidly.—The other morning Mr.

our school, has been engaged for 1893 in his

secured his services.—The Misses Hills left
on Tuesday morning for a holiday trip to
Detroit and other places of interest in the
west. We trust they will have a pleasant
outing after their close attention to badness

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 ?"
