Neil Shaw into the pastoral charge of said church, Mr. Musgrave to preside Mr. R. Hendbraon to preach, Mr. J. A. Merionald to address the minister, and Mr. Hamilton the people. Report of Committee on Chris- tian Endeavor was considered and recom- mendations thereof adopted, which are as follows : Firsh—That a series of questions be prepsred and sent to eaoh of the societies of the Presbytery respecting their numbers, work done, etc., during the year ; Second, —From answers received prepare a report for the consideration of the Presbytery at the January meeting ; Third,—To prepare a letter which must first be submitted to the Presbytery for consideration and then lent to each society.

Next regular meeting of Presby- tery to be held in Blyth on July llth, 10:30 o'clock a. m. ACCIDENT.—Mrs. John Henderson, of North Main street, met with a painful acci- dent on Monday last. She was engaged in cleaning a window, and was standing on a chair resting on a table, when the chair slipped and Mrs. Heriderson fell to the floor, striking a bureau in her descent. She re- ceived painful injuries on herhead and back, but we trust nothing serious will result from the mishap. PROPERTY CHANGES.—Mr. T. Givlin, of this town, has purchased the McCarthy property, which is situated on Coleman street, from Mr. M. Hurley, paying there! for the sum ef $800 cash. The property _ contains three fine building lots, on one of which is a huge frame house, which the new owner will occupy himself. It is one of the most eligible sites in town,and we congratu- late Mr. Givlin on his new Inquisition.— Mr, Brawn has purchased the residenee of Mr. F. Vanstone, on William street, for which he pays $800. It is a nice, snug, comfortable place, and is good value for the money. AN APPEMER.—A correspondent of ti • Stratford Herald makes the following ref. ence to Captain Baldwin's recent befo. breakfast trip : George M. Baldwin, cap- tain of the Seaforth cycling club made a great cut Xonday forenoon on the 100 -mile record, Stratford to Goderich and return, doing the entire dtetsnce in 8 hours and 57 minutes, the previous best being 11 hours and 35 minutene Mr. Baldwin rode the famoas Raleighawheel. Considering the rough reeds a,nd-head wind on the down trip, this is certainly a very creditable per- formance. In a feesaweeks time he will be a hard man to beat. Dr. W. N. Robertson, of Stratford, accompanied him for 75 miles of the trip, and made a century also in 11 hours and 29 minutes, a few minutes better than the old record. He could not stay with Baldwin, this being his first ride on the road in 1893. On the trip the doctor made one professional call each in Mitchell and Seaforth, and was home for dinner. He also rode a Raleigh. These are the first cen- turies west of Brantford this year. Who will be the first to lower this ?" : . COUNCIL MEETING.—Council met on Mon- day evening. Considerable business, most- ly of a routine nature, was despatched. The offer of E. A.

The street committee were instructed to enquire into the neces- sity for and cost of a drain from the aouth corner of Mr. J. MoIntyre's house to Cluff & Bennett's planing mill, to enquire into the cost of grading Coleman street from Turner's corner to T: Murphy's and of a two plank sidewalk from Mr. Turner's corner to Mr. Kline's residence. The report of the fire and water committee in regard to a fire alarm system for the town was laid over for future consideration. This committee was instructed to find out the cost of a street watering cart similar to the one used in Goderich, also to have the waterworks hydrants removed from the premises of Messrs, W. Flannigan, R. Lumsden, A. Mc- Leod, James Elder, L. McFaul, T. Downey,' T. Kidd, George Ewing and H. G. Edeall. The clerk was instructed to advertise for tenders for street watering.

A FEW WORDS FROM AN OLD FRIEND. — A lady who was a resident of Seaforth for a number of years, but now living af Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in a private letter to a friend in this town, says : " I do not know what I can write to interest you unless you want a divoree, as that seems to'be the most paying industry we have in this city. The farming country here is good ; there are quite a number of Canadians here, but not any from yoUr part. We have a small Pres- byterian claurch and a very good pastor. We give him $1,500 salary, which is con- sidered starvation here. The congregation is about one-fourth as large as Dr. McDon- ald's in Seaforth, and I do think our minis- ter is a splendid preacher. Servant girls are very scarce here. Are there many Huronites going to the World's Fair ? Eveey one who can raise the money is going from here. You will have read in the papers about the silver panic here. I do not know how it will end ; it makes times and business uncertain. I see all the old familiar names in THE EXPOSITOR still. Sea - forth does not seem to change much." • E.GIXIOND VILLE NOTES.—The Rev. Neil Shaw will be inducted as pastor of Egmond- vine Presbyterian church on Tuesday, May the 23rd at 2 o'clock. The Rev.

For many years Mr. Sproat has been foreman of a lumber camp, which renders it necessary for him to be absent from Me family most of the year.—Carpet whacking, painting, papering and eslsomining are the order of the day here, at present, and as a result house- keepers are having a hard time of it. PRESBYTERY OF ItURON. —This Presbytery held a regular meeting in Sensual on May 9th. Mr. Martin was appointed convener of the Home Mission committee for the en- suing year. Mr. R. Henderson rhad a tabu- lated statement, settingeforth the average contributions per family of all the congrega- tions of the Presbytery. The report was ordered to be printed for distribution among, the people, and the attention of the pastors of suctecongregations as did not contribute to some of the echemes of the church was called to the omission, and the hope ex- pressed that they should in future con- tribute to all the schemes. A report on sys- tematic beneficence was also submitted, and the different methods of raising money by the congregations considered. The repart on vacancies showed that there are two pastoral charges within the bounds without pastors, and one mission station. Moder- etion in calls were granted to Bayfield, &c., and Leeburn, &c.

While he was not an aspirant for public offices he always took a deep interest in township and in political affairs, and was ever ready to support what he believed to be in the interests of the county, In re- ligion he was a steunoh Presbyterian, and was most liberal in supporting the schemes of the church and fsithful in his attendance as & member. In polities he was a Reform- er. He was possessed of many good social qualities and was very outspoken in his ap- proval or disapproval of men and measures. He leaves hie wife, second daughter of the late Mr. B.

Don- ald McKay, a respected resident of the 4th concession of Tuckeremith, passed peacefully to his long home on Saturday, April 29th, and was interred on the following Monday. Mr. McKay was a native of Sutherlandshire, Scotland. He came to Canada with other members of hie family in 1848, and two years thereafter came to Tuckersmith and settled on the farm near Kippen, on which he continued to reside until hie death. He was 62 years of age. Although he had been in failing health for some time he had only been confined to bed about three weeks. He was never married. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church at Kip - pen. He was a quiet, unassuming man, but was kind hearted and a good neighbor, and was much and deservedly esteemed by all who knew him. His death mekes another break in the fast depleting ranks of Huron's noble pioneers. STILL ANoTHER.—Still another of Tuck- erstnith's pioneers has passed away. This time it is Mr. George Strong, of the 6th con- cession, who passed away on Tuesday last. Mr. Strong was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1822. He had,therefore,outlived the allotted van of three score and ten years. In 1847 he came to Canada and set- tled in the township of Pickering, county of Ontario. He resided there for eleven years, 'when in 1858 he came to Tuckeremith, set- tling on the farm on the 6th concession, on which he continued to live until hie death. He was marded to Elizabeth Mc- Culloch, in 1861, and his widow and a fam- ily of five eons end two daughters survive him. Mr. Strong has been a severe sufferer for several years from asthma and other ail- ments, but he has only been confined to hie residence for about a month. -He was a hard-working, kind-hearted gentleman, and his memory will be long and affectionately cherished by his bereaved family and friends. The remains were interred in the Egmondville cemetery on Thursday, and the esteem in which the deceased was held was abundantly manifested by the large number who turned out to show their last earthly tribute of respect to one who had lived in their midst so long.

Scott & Jones shipped a oar load of live hogs from here last Tuesday, and Messrs. Clegg & Dames shipped three cars of cattle limit Friday, two for the Eng- lish rnarket and one for Montreal.
