PAINFUL ACCIDENT. —Mr. James Melia
le of the 2ncl' concession of MdKillop,
about three miles from Seaforth, met with
a painful accident on Thursday of last week.
Re was chopping in the woods and when
felling a tree the butt slipped off the stump
; and falling down came on Mr. McIntosh's
foot, bruising aad smashing it in a fearful
%women He has since had to heve one of
. his toes amputated, but his medical attend-
ants hope they will be able to save the foot,
although, even under the most favorable
eircursustances he will likely be laid up a
: long time.
A RUE ON TOMATOES.—A good story has
come out my Mr. J. .Ae. Clark, grocer and
confectioner, of this town. L'ast week Me.
Clark received a. job lot of canned torna.tovs
and started to run them off at three caee
for a Quarter. Mr. R S., Beattie, V. ,
&mined in about supper time one evenin
and took three cans. Next day there was 6
regular rush for toutatoes, se much so, ie.
font, that the clerk was led to inquire of a
citstomer what was going on in town that
everyone Was buymg tomatoes. It ulti-
mately turned out that, although the cans
were labelled `tomatoes," they contained
very fine peaches worth about thirty-five
cents per can instead of eight and a third
cents. Mr. Clark has had a " tired feeling"
ever since, because he didn't find it ' out
first.
Centralia ; " The Bible in civilization,"
Rev. J. S. Henderson, Hensall. Each of
these topics elicited a valuable and ireterest-
ing discussion, and contained many
helpful and valuable hints and suggestions.
There was a mass meeting of the. children
held on Wednesday -afternoon, which was
addressed by• Mr. W. H. Kerr, of Brusiels,
and Rev. J'. 8. Henderson of Hensall.
There was also a question' drawer, con-

AN„INTELLIGENT CHINAMAN.—On Tuesday
we had a call from Mr. A. S. Macka.y., of
Woodstock, brother of the celebrated Pres-
byterian missionary, Dr. G. L. Mackay, of
Formosa. Mn Mackay was accompanied by
Mr. Kea Kan, a yoUng Chinaman, a student
at Dr. Mackay's college in Formosa, who
came to this country with the Doctor to fit
himself to be a more efficient asaistant to
him. Although -his features are of 'pronounc-
ed Chinese type he is -bright dad pleasant
lookingyvery prone te sinile,and exceedingly
quick and clever. He pronounces English
with scarcely a trace of accent. In fact Mr.
Kos, Kan is a standing rebuke to those who
insist on coneidezing the Chinese as some-
thing less than human, with no tights what-
ever, as men, Nor do we suppose he is at
all an exceptional type of his race. Mr.
Mackay and Mr.Koa Kau were ee their way
to- Blyth and. staid here 'for a while to visit
friends.
A SEAFGRTH BOY'S PLUCK. —The following
item relating to a former Seaforth boy, we
clip from Satmelay's Stratford Beacon :
Last evening about 7:30 o'clock a 'brutal
attack was made on H. lIabkirle driver of
the mail sleigh, who had been down to meet
the London train at that, hour. A man
jumped on. the sleigh and refused to get off
when orderedto by the driver, Who told him.
that it was against his orders to` allow any
one to ride on the sleigh. The fellow per-
sisted in riding; though urged to get off.
Finally he jumped up in the rig and struck
the driver in the face several times, cutting
him. badly over the left eye. The driver
used his whip on the ruffian and succeeded
in beating him off, but has no idea who hie as-
sailant was." The lad above mentioned is
Hector Ilabkirk., youngest soo of Mrs. John
Hablcirk, formerly of this town.

A ;GOOD ORGANIZATION: — The Grand
Lodge of the Ancient Order of United. Work-
men, was held in Toronto last week. • Sea -
forth lodge was represented by Dr. Smith
and Mr. George Patterson. The latter
gentleman has been re -appointed deputy
district grand master for this district. As
an example of the excellent work this or-
ganization is doing we quote the following
extract from the report of the Finance Com-
mittee. It say.s.: 'The past year has been
one of anxiety in many respects. The Grand
Lodge having reduced the age limit from 50
to 45, thus cutting off a large number of aps
plications which we would otherwise have
received a financial dep.ression having ex-
isted in business circles all over the country,
causing a great scarcity of money, sickness
and epidemic having created a mortality
which has been alarming, yet we are able to
report another successful year. One assess-
ment less has been required this year than
in 1892, and we have paid out . over $11,000
more to beneficia.ries than in that year, and
the balance in our general ftmd on the 31st
of December shovis an increase of over
Art OLD DOC-I/MEET FROM AN OLD FRIEND.
—Mr. H. W. C. Meyer, an olcl resident of
this pla,ce, and later of Wingliam, now a
Calgary,- Alberta:, in a recent letter states
that, since going to the Northwest he has had
geed healtlaand has now gone into business,
with excellent prospects. - Mr. Meyer's nu-
merous friends in this locality will be pleased
to hear such good thin,gs from him. Mr.
Meyer enclosed. in his letter a document
which will be of much interest to the older
residents, dad which may be seen by such at
this office. It is the subscription list of the
first Harpurhey Cricket Club and dates
back to about 1860 or mayhap a little
earlier. The appeal is made to the " Citi-
zens" of Herpurhey, for, as Mr. Meyer
states, Harpurhey at that time had aspira-
tions, and never dreamed that Seaforth had
serious hitentions. The names on the list
are : Angus MeDermid, Henry Meyer,

EGMONDVILLE NOTES. —For the third time
in about eight months death has called for a
loved one froaa the Houston home in this
village. First the aged parents were taken
and on Thursday, of last week, after a pro -
treated and, at times, a painful illness,
i
borne w th Christia,n fortitude; Mary, the
eldest o the two umiaarried daughters, was
called te join those who had so lately gone
before. She had been ailing for some
inonthsa with vitality steadily declining, but
strange to say, could never relinquish the
hope of recovery till ao hour oa so before
death. Of a kindly disposition, ever ready
to lend a helping hancl. She will be much
missed in the community, but inuch more so
by near relatives, who watched ;over her so
tenderly during her sickness. To her sister,
now the only occapent of the home, her
death is a severe dispensation, more 'especi-
ally as worn down with care and - watching,
she is herself in delicate health. We trust,
however, that with rest and freedom from
anxiety, she will soon regain her usual
vigon—Mitster Minded Rose is improving
and will soon be able to use the injured
limb again about all right, and as it was his
first attempt at sew logging he thinks it
will be the last. No, Randell is one of our
very best little boys 'and not given to such
tricks as jumping on' sleighs. It was a ter-
ribly close call and should be a warning to
many who are se reckless in that matter.—
After a varied existence of some eighteen
years, the Grange or Cooperative store com-
pany, limited, of this villege, has ceased to
exist. We believe it has been dissolved by
mutual consent, profits distributed among
the remaining naembers and the building is
to be disposed of to the highest bidder, but
it is said by some that it cannot be sold ex-
cept by consent of parliament. From the

are sure the Cobourg people will find her both
an, expert and reliable telegraptier and a
most estimable young lady.—ProrHoditson,
the hypnotist, had eome trouble with the

of God and keep it." The reverend gentle-
man has lest none ef his old-time earnestness
of delivery, and impressed all with his prac-
tical, well -thought out address. The choir,
