DISTRICT MATTERS. *SES FROM' TENNESSEE.—We have been favored with a box of lovely crimson roses and yellow jessamine sent by mail from Nashville, Tennessee, by Mr. J. J. Keyes, of the Peabody College, Nashville. These fiewers were plucked from the campus of the University, and arrived here in a very good state of-preeervation, considering their long journey, and with undiminished color and perfume. Mr. Keyes is a former resi- dent of Seanley, and a pupil of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute, but has resided in the South for several years, where he, in con- junction with many other Huron boys who bave taken up their residence in Uncle Sam's country, is making an honorable re- cord for himself. We have to thank Mr. - Keyes for his' kindly remembrance of THE EXPOSITOR, THE BICYCLE CLUB'S CONCERT.—The en- tertainment given last Friday evening un- der the auspices of the Bioyele Club, was a very enjoyable one. Miss Hext proved her- self to tie an elocutionist of the very fir • claim, her rendering of "Pickett's Nell," ai " The Kitchen Clock," being almost perfe. Her posing in Greek eostume was also vt : fine and delighted the audience. Mies Het will be welcomed back to Seaforth, and t• • bespeak for ber a full house next time. TI e local end of the programme was ably uphele by Mrs. R. W. B. Smith, Mre. Bright, Mr. Walter Willis and Mr. W. McLeod, while Mies Willson, as accompanist, did her part perfectly, as she always does. We are sorry to report that such a really good entertain- ment was not a success financially, but,from a variety of canoes, such was the ease. _ DIED IN MICHIGAN.—Mr. James MC- Ta.vish, of the Kippen road, Tuckeremith, was in Michigan laet week attending the funeral of his brother John, who died at his residence, near Mount pie rn ens, Michigan, on the lIth inst. Mr. Jahn McTavish was 69 years of age. He had been in deolining health for oyer a year, and had been a severe but patient `sufferer. fie was a native of Glenquaich Scotland. He oame to Canada in the year '1833. For many years he lived on the .1.2th concetsion of Hibbert, where he owned a splendid farm. Getting weary of active life and being anxious to retire, he disposed of his farm to Mr. Steaoy, who still occupies it, and took up his residemie in Stratford. He soco wealied of town life, and removed, about 14 years ago, to Mount Clemens, Michigan, where he took up a large farm and where he continued to re- side until his death. ., He has left a splendid property there. He was a good citizen and a worthy man, and his deeth will be regret- ted by hie former Canadian friends and neighbors. . COUNCIL MEETING.—The regular Meeting of the town council was held on Monday evening. Two tenders for the heating of the new town building, viz : one from John- son Brother% as representing Burrows, Stewart & Milne, of Hamilton ; and, one from Mullett & Jackson, representing Clare Brothers & Company, of Preston. Both tenders were very nearly alike. The matter of purchasing the heating apparatus after hearing the representations of both' firms, was laid over for further consideration, in order to give each of the members of the council an opportunity to investigate the raerits of the verious furnaces. The clerk wee ale° instructed to communicate with the authorities of the Stratford Collegiate Insti- tute with a view to learning the result of their experience with both furnaces. Mr. Wm. Copp , was appointed to oversee the . coestruction of the new town building, un- der the supervision of the building com- mittee, his rethuneration for this service be- ing $1.75 per day during thenime he is em- ployed. A by-law was read and passed, forbidding the running of bicyo es pn the sidewalks, The tender of Mr. J. . Beat - V tie, to supply screened gravel at 4.68 and unscreened at $2,60, was accepted, it being the lowest. A number of accounts were passed and the council adjourned. THE SELLING OF MILK ON THE SABBATH. — The Women's Christian Temperance Union, desiring to learn whether or not it was necessary that milkmen should deliver milk on the Sabbath, wrote to a prominent dairyman at Guelph, Mr. J. M. Kenny, ask; ing his opinion about the matter and what his practice was. He replied in a letter stating that it was entirely unnecessary for milk to be delivered on the Stibhath ; that he had never done it, and yet he had the largeet milk business in Guelph, supplying aver three hundred families. He states, what everyone in the habit of handling milk knows, that milk oan be kept perfectly fresh by being kept cold and that the milk for Sunday can be delivered Saturday night just as well and with as good satisfaction as en Sabbath. His practise in this respect is to place the can containing the milk in a box of ice cold water, the water to come up on the thasides of the cab to a point a little above that rewired by the milk on the in - aide and to be kept cold by having ice placed in it, By this means he has no difficulty in keeping milk sweet from Satur- day until Sunday and milk taken from the cows on Sunday is kept sweet enough for delivery to his custorners on Monday. -4- • THE FOOTBALL MATOIL—On Saturday the Ingersoll High School football team came up to try to take the Efough Cup riway from oUr school boys.' The day was fine and a goodly number' wended their way to the Recreation Grounds to see the match. The gsme began with Ingersoll kicking against the wind, and although they were hard pressed from the beginning, they played a fine defence game and managed, in addition, to make it lively quite frequently for the Seaforth defence. Our boys were playing a rather rigged forward game, and although they had at least a dozen good chances they failed to get the ball between the uprights. At hall time, however, they braced up, and, although the wind was strong against them, their superior team play began to show and the ball ever and anon travelled down the field in the style that has made Seaforth famous. From pee of these rushee a goal was scored by Crawford, and half a dozen others almost bore fruit, but the ball seem- ed to have a decided aversion to just the right apt, and so the score remained to the end 1 to 0 in favor of Seaforth. The Inger- soll boys played a. -Plucky game and their rushes were often dangerous, but they lack- ed combination and, consequently, ware outclassed. With good coaching they would make a rattling fine team. As it is they will need to put in a lot of stiff practice be- fore they can take that cup from Seaforth. - THE DEPARTED.—Two more old residents of this vioinity have taken their departure to the better land since our last iesue. The first was Mrs. George E. Jackson, of Eg- mondville, who died on Sunday, at the age of 51 years, Mrs. Jackson had been a se- vere sufferer for over a year, and although she was surrounded by everything calculated to make life pleasant, tbe chaste must have been a welcome one to her. She was a most estimable lady, and will be long and sadly missed, not only in the family circle but in the community, where she was fireat• ly belovedlor her many kind and Christian acts. The sincerest sympathy that human heart can reoder will be extended to Mr. Jackson and family, although at such times even the kindest sympathy is of little avail to heal the wounds that such bereavements make. The remains were interred in the Maitlandbank cemetery on Tuesday, and despite the inclement weather at the time the funeral was very largely attended, —Another old and respected resident of , the vicinity, full of years, passed away on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Andrew Murdie, Of McKillop, died at tbe residence of her daughter, Mrs. Donald McGregor of this town. She had reached the grea't age of 82 yesrs. Until a few weeks ago she was in the enjoyment of comparatively good health, and at last succumbed to what seemed to be a wearing out of a once rugged constitution. The deceased was mother of Messrs. George and Michael Mn die, of MoKillop ; Murdie, of Detroit ; Mrs. McGregor, of this town, Mrs. Dr. Kchetion, of Michigan, and Mrs. D. S. Cam bell, -of Mitchell. Her husband, the late Andrew Murdie, died a few years ago. e wait a kind mother, a, faithful wife and an obliging neighbor, and was much and deservedly beloved by those amongst whom she had lived so long. She was a constant meMber of the Presbyterian church, and in her daily life practised what she professed. The remains were interred in Herpurhey cemetery on Wednesday. MATRIMONIAL.—Another of our popular young business men has become benediot. Mr. Thomas Richardson, of the firm of Richardson & • MeInnis, was married on Tuesday last to Miss Katie Campbell, daughter of the late George Campbell, of the township of Gray. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Foerest, of Walton, at the bride's home, in the presence of a goodly number of the relatives of the con- tracting parties. After the ceremony, the young couple, accompanied,t1;y a number of friends, drove to Brussels, , here they took the train for the east and will spend a few days in Buffalo and other cities before re- turning here to settle down to the stern realitieeof life. Both are well and favor- ably known to our townspeople, and their numerous friends will extend them a hearty welcome on their return. THE EXPOSITOR wishes them a long, happy and prosperous journey together. TRY our Anchor Brand Pronounced by expert bakers the best flour in town. Cider at the Mill or ask your grocer for it.

EGMONDVILLE NOTEEL—While the illness of Mrs. George Jackson has been noted with much regret from time to time, it is now our painful duty to record the demise of one so long and sorely afflicted. For the past two or three weeks the disease made rapid progress, arid despite the best medical skill and_ the kindest attention, on the part of relatives and friends, the malady reached a fatal terminaiion on Sabbath evening, about 9 o'clock.. Mrs. Jackson was a quiet, kindly dispositioned, Christian lady, highly esteemed by all privileged with her acquaint- ance. For long months she bore with pa- tience and resignation the affliction, which, from the first, promiaed to be incurable, but though at times a great sufferer, she retain- ed consciousness to the last, and was able to impart council and consolation to the eor- rowing husband and family.

Mus- grave, who seems always equipped for any emergency. Besides a goodly number of our own people, we were pleased to see the kindly interest of many from the neighbor- ing congregations who came to do honor to the occasion ; several even remaining otter for the evening's` entertainment. This, not- withstanding some unavoidable circum- stances, was well attended and proved en-, tirely successful. Thus we have entered on another stage of church life, full of hope for a useful future, only to be realized by the Divine blessing on the union of effort of pas- tor and people.—Mrs. Bale has again dis- appointed the predictions of medical men, and is about once more, and we hope will be spared for many years of active and useful life.—The many friends here of Mrs. J.

May their future belie happy as their bridal day, and their lives be an beautiful, and radiate as sweet e perfume as the roses which grac- ed the marriage table. Tuckersmith.

In the morning the Calithumpians inade plenty of ,fun for both old and young, with their odd eoeturnes end funny pranks.

The solos ren- dered by the Misses Dolmen and Hotham delighted the audience, and the singing of the choir was excellent. We congratulate our young people of Chiselhuret on their ability to get up a good entertainment, but we believe much of their success is due to the encouragement given them by Rev. Mr. Henderson in coming out to assist them,and to the untiring efforts of their pastor, Rev. Mr. Irvine.
