A SURPRISE. -A number of_ the more intimate friends of • ouo genial townsman, Mr. A. Bauolaughr surprised him at his residence on Tuesday evening last. They met in force to congratulate him on ,baving reached hie forty-seventh birthday and then made him the recipient of a neat and hand- some silver smoking service. The recipient, although surprised as well as gratified, made a suitable response and tendered his guests the freedom of his residence. A few hours were most agreeably spent and it goes with- out saying that Mr. and Mrs. Bauslaugh were unceasing in their attentions to their gueats and that all were sorry when going home time came. ereen-John Aitchison, 822; Walker Arde, 763- Wm.

Owing to various causes, principally the plethora. of entertainments just now,the - audience was small. The entertainment, however, was one of the most pleasing we have had in Seaforth for a long time. The members of the company are all Canadians, their homes being in Hamilton and they are a fino looking lot of ladies and gentlemen, and are natural musicians. They are fully equal to if not better than the once cele- brated Fiok Jubilee Singere, while theie en- tertainment is more varied. We are sure that should the company return td Seaforth they would. meet a crowded house. They have been training for live years, and,in that time have vieited the principal cities in Britain and the Continent. • DON'T forget Sheppard's Worid's- Fair Entertainment od Friday evening next. , 1369-1 GET YOUR CLOTHES CLEANzu..-7.-Orders for Barr's Dye Works, Mitchell, can be left at Rich- ardson & McInnes' Boot and Shoe Store, Seatorth, and will be promptly attendad to, and satisfaction given.

He was born in Rox- boroughshire, Scotland, in 1820, and came to Canada in 1841, • like many another young Scotchman, to make a home for him- self and hew out a path through life in a country where he might be hie own master. He settled in McKillop, where he has ever sinceeresided, in 1846, andewhere he closed a long and eminently useful eareer. He wee' a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and a man respected by all who iteew him for hie sterling integrity and many other robust virtuee ; a good neighbor and a worthy oitizen. He was one of that oiturdy band who have imparted to Cana- dians the manly and sterling characteristics for which they are beginning to be known , the world over, and though his more than three score yeare and ten have taped and his work is done his loan will be keenly felt.* Mr. Henderson leaves atividow and a family of one son and three daughters, all grown , up and doing for themselves, to mourn hio loss. The funeral took plaoe Wednesday, and the interment was made in the!Harpur- hey cemetery, which is the resting Place of eo many of the old pioneers. ! , • -We have alsoqo record thes death of Mr. James Houskapi of Egmondville. Mr. Houston's call came suddenly but he was not unprepared. He took seriouely ill on Saturday and he passed peacefully awity on Tnesday evening. Since the death of hie wife about six months ego his strength has steadily declined, and though able to be about till within a few days of his death, he was very feeble, having been troubled for two years with asthma. The deceased was a quiet, unassuming, honorable man, highly esteemed by allaowho knew him. His loss will be felt in* the community, but it will indeed be a great grief to the family, and more especially to the bereaved . daughters at home, one of whom iii So sorely: afflicted, He had reached the ripe oldlage of 77 years, and has gone to occupy one of those " man- sions." prepared for those who have fought a good fight. He had been a resident of Tuckersmith for about 42 years, and was one of the noble pioneer band who have done so much to make this country what it is. lie was a nistiie of the parish of Borgue, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, and came to this country and settled in Tuckeremith 42 years ago, on the farm now occupied by his youngest son. He was a wheelright by teethe but never worked at thet calling in this country. He leaves a family of two sons and three daughters to cherish the , memory of an ever ,kind and faithful parent. ' The remains were laid by the gide of those of his departed wife in Egmondville cemetery on Thursday, , CHRISTMAS .4..tEE ENTERTAIN MENT.-The entertainment given the children of St. James', Sunday School on Wednesday even- ing last, in Kidd's hall, ander the auspices of the Christian Doctrine Society, was a grand success, both in point of the number in attendance and the excellence of the pro- gramme presented. The Christmas tree was inaded down with good things, and, it is unnecessary to say, was the centre' ofl attraction for the little folks, while the question uppermostin the minds of all, both old and young, was, " who Santa Claus was?" and we might here say that the gen- tleman who personated that ancient charac- ter did hie part remarkably well. There were several nicely rendered pieces by the children, both in solos, choruses and recita- tions, which reflected great credit on the little ones, as also on thoee who had their training in charge. After the musical part of the progremme had been carried out; the tree was stripped and the vaTious gifts were distributed by Santa Claus, which ,caused much merriment amonk all present, at the close of which the National' Anthem was sung, and \the large audienee went home much pleased with their evening's enjoy - . ruent: . .
