BLEETIL—Much regret was felt by our citizens on hearing of the death of . Mrs. James Sleeth, of this town. The sad event occurred on Sunday evening. The event, however, was scarcely unexpect- ed as she had been in a very critical condi- tion for several days. Mre. Sleeth was a daughter of Mr. Alexander Neilans of Rox- bora, McInillop. She was juet 26' years of age, and besides her eerily bereaved husband sheleaves two infant children, the youngest of wh,om is but a little more than a week old. She was a kind hearted, good woman - and the eeteem in which "she was held eis well as the sympathy felt for the sorrowing relatives, was amply manifested by the large number who accompanied tbe remain, to the Maitlandbank cemetery on Tuesday. ANOTHER MATRIMONIAL EVENT.—Quiet, but happy, was the wedding of youth and beantyiin the family circle imeembled at the residence of our worthy townsman, Mr. J. H. Broacifoot, on Wednesday afternoon last, when his eldest daughter, Miss Maggie, was un ted in marriage with Mr. James i Pring- le, of Chicago, third son of Mr. James Pringle, of Stratford, and formerly of Sea - forth. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. D. McDonald, D.D., at one o'clock p. in., in presence of the immediate Moods of the bride and groom, and after a sumptu- ous dinner and a short time in merry social chat, the happy, newly married couple pro- ceeded to the railway etation, where a num- ber of friends had assembled to say good- bye and to wish Mr. and Mrs. Pringle much happiness and proeperity in their n'ew life, as well as all the joy the world can afford them. THE EXPOSITOR joins, meat cordially, with other friends in hearty good wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Pringle. The bride was a general navorite, her bright and anaia,bie disposition winning many friends among all classeseand she will be greetly missed in social circles. The handsome and valuable, array of bridal presents gave visible testimony to her popularity heren but to no purpose and as she seemed bent on mischief, one Of the ladies, who ie said to be van expert climber, made for a tree near by, but either through excitement or the dread, of injury to her companion, , who worild be left to face the infuriated animal alone, she was unablento ascend the tree. They wene, however, not far from a fence over which they fortunately succeeded in getting witheut further injury than a bad shaking of the nerves. Strange to say the bovine was a thoroughbred Ayrehire,which, judging from ite careful training ought to .have known better, but this is said not to be the first offence. If so it is a clear case of the necessity of dehorning, or of a rigid en- forcement of the cow by•law.—We deeply regret to note that Mrs. George Jackson, whose health hes been a muse of anxiety to e time, is no tr.—About y mach im- proved our ntriet, which w before in a miserable condition on account of pitch - holes.

Just imagine the destruction to vehicles and wear of horseiflesh occasioned by driving over 375 pitoh-holes in less than five miles, as is said to be the caselto the north of Seaforth. But it is an indirect tax, and of course never felt. Our beneficent pro- -tective system has been a faithful educator of our people, but evidently not in the di- rection of their' own interests. By our neglect of roach we are ssving, perhaps, one dollar in taxes and losing five dollars in wear and tear. Similarly _ we allovv our- selves to be robbed at efinney turn by the protective system on ipretence of raising a revenue, putting one dollar into the revenue and another' into the overflowing coffers of combines, and the other voracious offspring of the paternal system.

The Noxon Bros. Mfg:Co. are an old established and familiar firm to thousands of Cana- adian farmers, their business dating frorn 1856, and the energy and enterprise shewn by them in the manufacture and making known the merits of their productions to the farmer, stamps them as an active and progressive firm, and we have no doubt but they are fully prepared to make good all the clairne made in their advertisement as to the excellence of their Steel Hoosier Drill. 1318-1 which appears to be on the increase, viz.: " Driving for pleasure."

MEETING AND PRESENTATION.—The men's Foreign Mission Society in connection with the First Presbyterian church, Sea - forth, held their regular monthly meeting on Monday evening last in the basement ot the cliuroh. This Society is growing steadi- ly in members and in intermit, and the ob. ject is certainly a good one, and well worthy of encouragement. Mrs. R. Lurnsden and Mrs. John G., Wilson were appointed dele- gatea to the annual meeting of the Pro- vincial Convention to be held in London next month.

A SEAFORTH BOY LANIENTED. —We made brief mention last week of the death in Philadelphia of Mr. John M. Campbell, eld- est son of Dr, Campbell, of this town. Mr. Campbell was amitudent of Jefferson Medi- cal College, Philadelphia, and he was out down after a brief illness of typhoid fever. It, will be pleasing to his many friends here, as it must be consoling to his sorrowing parents and relatives, to know that be held a high place in the esteem of his college in- structors and class -mates, and that he was making for himeelf a creditable record, and had he not been so early out down would, most surely, have distinguiehed himself and brought credit to his native town end county. The 'Philadelphia, papers spoke in the most highly complimentary, terms of him. His' fellow students, in male meetipg -as- sembled, passed , a most touching address of condolence, and a similar address was pass- ed by the Young Men's Christian Associ- ation, athletic department, of which assoe dation the young man was a beloved mem- ber. Copies of these addressee, neatly en- grossed, have been forwarded to Dr. Camp- bell. The Philadelphia News of the 8th inst., makes the following r4erence to the sad affair " An imposing scene was wit- nessed at Jefferson nele'dieel College yester- day afternoon, when the professors of each department and ebout 650 students engem. bled in the amphitheatre of the college to pay a tribute of respect to Mr. John Milton Campbell, a student of the college, who' died suddenly at o'clock yesterday morning of typhoid fever. Dr, Parvin made a touching address to the students, during which hundreds were deeply affected. The college queotette sang severil .beautinul selections, and the whole body of students joined in the chorus. In the evening the faculty and students turned out in full force, and march- ed to Undertaker Good's office to view the remains. Aftet filing past the- handsome metallic coffin they again formed, and headed by eiglen of their number, who acted as pall-beemli, accompanied the body to the- reilway depot, where it was sent to Seaforth, Canada, for burial. The floral decorations vent by" the students and, out- side friends were beautiful. Mr. Campbell was one of the brightest and most popular students in the college, and his untimely death is deeply regretted alike by both professors and students as well as by hun- dreds of outside friends." PRESBYTERY OF/' HURON.—Thie Presby- tery held a regular meeting in Clinton, on the 14th inst. The roll for the year was made up. Mr. Fletcher gave a report .on aid receiving congregations, and recommend. ed on behalf of the Presbytery's Home Mission Committee, that the following sup- plements be asked : For Grand Bend and Corbett, $250 ; for Bayfield and Bethany, $200 during the vacancy, and $250 when settled. Application was made by Leeburn and Union Church, Goderich Township, to be put on the list of supplemented congre- gations, with a view to calling a minister., They promise to pay for the support of or- dinances $300 for each congregation, in all_ $600 yearly,- and ask to be supplement- ed from the .augmentation fund, and to grant Mr. Anderson, the moderator of see- sion, authority to moderate in a call. It was agreed to grant the application, and to apply for a sappleriment of $200. Mr, An-• derson was authorbied to moderate in a call, when they are prepared for it. Reports on the, State of Religion, Sabbath Schools, Temperance and Sabbath Observe -nee, were submitted and received, and ordered to be transmitted to Synod Committee. The re- port on Sabbath Observance, inter alia, no- ticed with satisfaction, that funerals' and parades of societies on Sabbath appear to be on the decrease within the bounds oi the Presbytery, and, closes with the two fole lowing recommendatione : 1st, That minis- ters, office bearers and members of the churchnbe requested to endeavor to guard faithfully the sanctity of the Lord's Day, and to root more firmly ond deeply the claims of the_ Lord's , Day in their sev- eral Committete ; 2nd, That miniee ters preach a special sermon on the subject a% leaet once a year, or make special references to it in their ser- mons during the year, calling special atten- tion to that phase of Sabbath . desecration and happy life, and hoping that all might meet again in the near future on some simi- lar occasion. The young couple took the train at Brunetti on Friday last for the Northwest, where Mr. Hyelop has a home, ready prepared for his bride. While we deeply regret the removal of Mrs. Hyslop from our midst we can assure the good peo- ple of Carlysle that in her they will find a kind friend, in short, a real lady, and we hope they will use her well.—Com. /COUNCIL MEETING. —At a meeting of the town council, beld on Monday evening last, Councillor Beattie gave notice that he would, at the next meeting, move to amend the electric light by-law, so that the street line should be shut off at 12,15 o'clock a, m., also that he would introduoe a by-law to give the privilege of erecting poles and wires on the streets to the Automatic Tele- phone and Electric Company ofeCanada. A motion was also parotid granting this com- pany the privilege of stringing wires on thes electric light poles at a consideration to be agreed upon later. It was decided that the Mayor, Reeve, Deputy -Reeve, and Council-, lore Tyerman, Gunn, and Lyon be appoint- ed a committee to pass on the advisability of making the following changes in the plans for the town building : That the hose tower be placed on the south side of the main tower ; that the main ball be made easier of access ; that the main hall be arranged so that it will have the use of some of the windons on the west side for light and ventilation, and that flues be made from each room to chimney. An amendment calling for new plena for a two storey build- ing was lost. The sume of $1,000 was placed at the disposal of the Collegiate In - saute Board, and a like 'Bum at the die- posal of the Public School Board. A com- munication was read from ' Mr. John Beat- tie, informing the council thit 'in the event of that body engaging to incur a larger ex- penditure on the town building than there is money on hand for that purpose, he would apply for a mandamus, forbidding the council to proceed with the erection of the said building, A petition from the Dominion Alliance to the Provincial Gov• ernment, asking that a vote be taken in this Province in order to test the feeling of the people as to the Prohibition of the liquor traffic, was adopted.

Hyslop, an industrious and prooperous young farmer of Carlysle, North- west Territory, and son of Mr. James Hys- lop, of this township. To say that Miss Smillie is widely known for her many good qualities, and a general favorite, would but faintly convey the esteem -in which she is held in this community. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. Forrest, of Walton, and was witnessed by about 50 of the rale- tivet and friends of the contracting parties. The bride and bridesmaid, Miss Mary A. Smillie, were neatlY and becomingly sttired in cream colored , cashmere, with all the other suitable eccompaniments. The groom was assisted by his cousin, Mr. Archie Hye- lop, in his usual calm, deliberate way. The congratulations andegood wishes were soon over, and Mr . Hypiop may well be congratu- lated on having seepred for a life partner such an estimable young lady, the proof of whioh was plainly manifested by the number of costly and useful presents she was the recipient of, and among which was a com- plimentary address from the Women's Mis- sionary Society of Duff's Church, Walton, of which Mrs. Hyslop was an active work- ing member, willing at all times, not only to I do her share, but all she possibly could. All sat down to a supper got up in the Misses Smillien best style, and,it le needless to say, did ample justice to it.
