PICKARD Seaforth. Ike futon expooitox. DISTRICT M.A.TTERS. PASSED WITH RONORS.—In the report of the University examinations at Toronto, we notice -that Mr. Ge R. Anderson, of this town, was succusful in gaining his degree of 13. A., toning first class honors in Pro- - tioal Physics and second class honors in Physics. Mr. W. McLeod, of MoKillop, also passed successfully his second year ex- amination, taking honors in Mathematics. and we hope will soon be around again.— Mr.Samuel Camellia still continues a great sufferer and is to _all appearance gradually wasting away. in fact it is kgreat wonder to his friends how nature has sustained itself so long, as few men ever suffered so severely as be has for,over a year. Mre. Carnochan; who has been his constant attendant, seems a tnirscle of endurance. PERSONAL. -113 last week's Presbyterian Review we notice the following reference to - the new pastor of the Egmondville Presley- terhin Church and his worthy wife. It says : Before leaving Tilbury Centre for his new charge, Rev. Neilllhaw, B. A., was prevented with an address, accompanied by number of valuable gifts for himself and Mrs. Shaw. Among other things kind- ly reference was made in the address to Mrs. Shaw's valuable assistance in the cheir and other church organizstions." * THE Bunts Races. —On Wednesday evening quite a large orowd of speotatore,in- eluding many ladies, assembled at Lapelie's track to see the second series of club racei given by the local Bicycle olub. The band also lent its ald to enliven the °cession. All three races were exceedingly well contested and quita) exciting. The matched race be- tween J. Livingstone and A.jVinter was a corker, being ridden in pretty fast time and won by Mr. Livingstone with only . abodt a foot to spare. The half mile open race was won by W. D. McLean in two straight heats, J. Robb taking second. ln the five mile hindioap F. Cardno had two min- utes, W. D. McLean one minute, and Liv- iingstone, Winter and George Baldwin were on the scratch. Livingstone won first prize and time prize, with Winter seoond, Bald - Iwin having been beaten oat on the home istretab. The contestants finished all in a bunch, showing the excellence of the handl- (taping, but next time it would be advisable to allow the younger riders just a shade more time. Good, clean bicycle racing is about as good and healthful recreation as our townspeople could bsve, and we hope the Bicycle Club will keep it up, being very careful to tread the straight path of good sportsmanship, and allow no harmful ele- ments to make their way in.—Next Wed- nesday evening the Club will again have an interesting programme of recap, consisting of half mile race married men ; one mile named race, G. il;eldwin and A. C. Winter ; one mile boys' race, two in three ; 1 mile race, class B. THE BODLD &GEES. —The 33rd Battali el goes into camp at London for twelve dee . beginning on the 19th inst.

In response to a request from Mr. C. W. Paint, permission was given the Bell'Tele- phone Company to erect required new polee in town, the work to be done under the supervision of the Fire, Water and Light Committee. A petition, numerously signed, was presented asking the council to pass a by-law to prevent children being on the streets after nine o'clock in the evening un- less aecompanied by a parent or guardian. The elerk was instructed to prepare a by- law in accordance with the petition and have it presented at the next meeting of the council. The tender of Johnson Brothers for the heating of the new town building was accepted, and the Mayor authorised to sign the necessary contract. The furnaoe is to be erected and everything completed for the perfect and safe heating of the building for $233. The street committee were in- structed ta have graveling done on Frank- lin street at a cost of $10 and sidewalk laid to Mr. Kline's residenee at a cost $22. The council adjourned for two weeks.

Stehle, of this town, slipped and fell on the lawn at her residence early Wednesday morning, breaking her leg. The fracture a bad one,and as she is a very old lady, the r nits are likely to be serious. THE FOOTBALL MATCH.—As announced last week, the Berlin High -School, after challengheg for the Hough Cup, defaulted a few days ago before the time set for the match, and the Ontario Agrioultural College team, of Guelph, took their place. The Guelph men were a fine looking lot of fel- lows, . stout and strong, as became their chosen profession, and looking like football players all over. Our boys began to think their work was out otit for them when they saw them in their working clothes. But appearances are not always to be trusted, se the sequel shows. From the time the Referee's whistle tooted and the ball was first set rolling it was seen that though the Sea - forth boys laoked weight they were too fast for their opponents, and the longer they played the faster they got. However, no goals were scored in the Brat half ; but in the second half the ball hcivered continually in the neighborhood of Guelph's stronghold. The Collegiate Institute team worked like a machine, doing some, of the prettiest team work and moot effective forward combina- tion play that has been seen on the Recrea- tion Geound for a long time. In fact they scored so often that it began to get monot- onous, the game ending 7 to 0 in favor of Seaforth. It is not to be judged from this large score, however, thett the Guelph boys couldn't play football. They did play well, showing a strong defense and a good com- bination game on the forward line, but our boys were feeling just right and were entire- ly too fast for the visitors, in fact they were fit to go in the beet of company. Mr. J. L. Rilloran acted as Referee to the perfect satisfaction of both teams. This was the last match of the season and the Hough Cup reposes here until the autumn, when the struggle will again be begun. THE COUNTY WARDS. —The people known as County wards are indigent iDSE1110 persons. All such have now, in accordance with stat- utory provision, to be supported at the cost of the nounty. When they are thus accepted by the county they become what is known as County wards. It is necessary for the Reeve or Deputy Reeve of the loofa municipality to make application to the County Council, and this application has to be fortified by a certificate from two medical men to the effect that those in whose behalf application has been made, ere mentally in- capable of taking care of themselves, and are not such as would be admitted te asylum. This being done, the County Council must receive them and provide for their maintenance. Previous to the last - meeting of the, County Council, there were 27 wards, at an annual cost to the County of $2,459, One died a few days before the Council meeting, decreaeing the number to 26, and the cost to $2,359. At the recent meeting there were eleven added at a charge of $865 per annum, thus leaving the num- ber the County now has to provide for at 37 and the annual charge $3,224, or an av- erage of over $87 each per year.

EGINIONDVILIX NOTES . —One of our early risers,,out on Monday morning last in search of his cow, discovered the prostrate form of a man taking his rest under the spreading branches of a theltering maple. He appear- ed sound asleep, and consequently unoon- ecious of his surroundings. When the morning BUD began to beam out, he awoke, ,stretched his stiffened limbs, shook the dew pf heaven from hie clothing and took a care - view of his- eurroundings ; the object, evidently most attractive to his vision, be- ing Mr. Jackson's big white horse, Barney, quietly grazing in neighboring orchard. Gazing intently on the animal, he, perhaps, imagined that during his prolonged slum- ber, he had been transferred bodily to the sunny land of the palm and'white elephant. But that vision Boma vanished and he was seen to turn away in apparent disgust, per- haps muttering to himself, " Them's not palms and that's only a hoes." Well he was neither a resident nor a native of the village but a transient visitor. --Our new pastor, the Rev.

ACCIDENTS. —On Thursday of last week 'as Mr. John Soarlett, of MoKillop, was un- loading gravel he was standing on the tongue of the wagon. On the horses step- ping forward, Mr. Scarlett slipped and fell between them.

He Vies one of the early set- tlers tipf this township and was justly -esteemed by all who knew him. He was a kind and obliging neighbor, a warm-hearted friend and an honest, upright man. His death will be deeply regretted by all who knew him. He was never married. OBITUARY, —On Sunday, June 451i, Eliza - Teeth, *ife of Mr. Edward Glenn, Sr., pass- ed peacefully away to the better world. She and her husband had long been residents of Stanley, and had made many close and en- dearing friendships in the vicinity in which they lived. During the last few years they were living retired in Clinton, and it was there she died. She eras a patient sufferer for nearly two years, and though she had a strong constitution, yet the paralytic stroke was more than she could endure. Teuly, it may be said of her, " Blessed are- the dead who die in the Lord." Her husband sur- vives her, also her two sons, Edward and William. She was the sister of the late Messrs.William, John and James McQueen. Just one of that family now remains, Alex- ander, who resides in Illinois. She was 65 years old. A large number of her old neighbors paid their tribute of respect by coming to her funeral and following her re- mains to Clinton cemetery. let, owing partly to Or. base -ball team be- ing engaged to play at P3rt Elgin the 1st.
