PURCELL.—Mr. Thos. P411.0(311., an old and respected resident of Seaforth, died 011 Wednesday forenoon last. Mr. Purcell had been in Brussels for some time in charge of the salt works there. He took ill with a severe attack of what was supposed to be irxliamina- tory rheumatism, but which afterwards turned into inflammation of the bowels. On Saturday he was brought home and continued to grow worse until death en- sued. Mr. Purcell was a most steady, industrious and well doing man, and was a quiet and worthy citizen. He had been a trusted employee of Dr. Coleman for over 18 years. He was 43 years of age, and leaves a widow and seven young children to mourn his loss. The funeral will take place on Friday morning at 9 o'clock, and the remains will be interred in Irishtown cemetery. • A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—We learn from the Bradford, Pennsylvania, Star, of a very peculiar and melancholy accident which befel two little boys, aged re- spectively 13 and 14 years, sons of Mr. R.

It seems that on the 24th of May the little fellows were rum- maging in a garbage heap on the street picking up such things as might 'attract their fancy. Unfortunately some re- mains of a former glycerine magazine had been carelessly deposited in this heap, and being disturbed by the lads an explosion took place injuring them se severely that one of them has since died, and the other is so mutilated and injured that his recovery is doubtful, and even in the event of recovery he will be disfigured for life. The former friends of Mr. and Dare. Tranter in this county will deeply sympathise with them in their bereavement. largely in tavor of Mr. Gibson. On the Connell willrecognize them.

" IN DARKEST AFRICA."—The follow- ing is an extract from one of Stanley's letters to the New York Tr bune : " The end crowns the work," did I say December 10th, 1886, I say it again this date of 1890. I have brought exiles back to their homes ; I have reunited parted families; I have rescued those who were in sore straits ; I have borne the young and the aged and placed them in their loved land of Egypt ; I have brought the beleagured governor out of his threatened bondage. Therefore, as these v ere the aims of the work and they have be‘en accomplished, I say the end crowns the work. True, I am blanched and white but what matters it. I have naught to regret and if any mission of like nature presented itself I should still wish to do it, for whether here or there life stays not but rushes on apace, and nen must work and strive, but let us dloriii2t bravely and fitly and with all our strength."

Clarke's sixth visit there : " Clarke's Gough, in Humor, Pathos and Eloquence, is a grand production, in felicity of diction, compass of thought, in richness of fancy, in beauty of picture and in piquancy of drollery it stands without a super- ior on this continent.

THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. — There was a large crowd of people in town on Saturday last, the Queen's Birthday, the surrounding country and neighbor- ing towns and villages being well repre- sented. The day was pleasant being warm enough, and not too warm for comfort. Quite a number of the towns- people, also, taking advantage of the holiday, made excursions to the country in various directions. -The visitors in town seemed to enjoy themselves wan dering around seeing what was to be seen. The foot ball match in the fore- noon was a point of attraction for a good, many, and a real interesting match was witnessed between the Hurons and a picked team from variOus neighboring clubs, the Hurons, as usual, coming out victors. About noon the Salvation Army came out in full force, and seemed to take the interest of the crowd for a time. In the afternoon a good many went to Fairview Park to see the races, and when they were over most of the people left for their homes. On the whole the crowd was orderly and well behaved. Towards evening a few got too much bger mixed up with their an- atomy, but as all the hotels were closed sharp at seven o'clock even these left early for home and the night was as quiet as ordinary nights are. • THE INSPECTORSHIP.—There is likely a large meeting was held at Brucefiehl. to be quita scramble at the meeting of It was addressed by Mr, Bishop and Mr. the County Council next week for the Collins on the Reform side and Mr. Public Sehool Inspectorship of North Holmes the Conservative Candidate. 1 Huron, rendered vacant by the death of On Saturday evening Mr. Bishop had an Mr. Malloch.

On Friday night last a largely attended meeting was held in Cardness hall in this town. The audi- ence was largely composed of country people, the next day being a holiday the stores were all kept open until a, late hour and consequently most of the busi- ness men were absent in this way. The chair was occupied by , Mr. Wm. M. Gray and excellent addresses were de- livered by Messrs John McMillan, M.P., Thos. Gibson and A. Bishop. The au- dience, which wise largely composed of the friends of the Mowat Government seemed to be well satisfied with the ex- planations given. On the same evening has spent the whole of his life in the Mr. J. . McFaul, Seaforth, son of Mr. L. L. McFauleand Mr. T. B. Richard- son, Goderich. Mr. J.

In fact we scarcely know a valid objection that could, be urged against him. He has earned the position and his appoint- ment would give the most universal satisfaction throughout the county. We know of none other with equal claims and we are sure that none are better qualified, and we hope the. Council will see fit to make his appoint- ment unanimous. THE CONCERT. — The concert under the auspices of the Seaforth Quartette Club on Wednesday evening, was a real musical treat and we are pleasei to be able to say that the boys were favor- ed with a good house. The programme was varied, well selected, and was well sustained throughout. It is almost needless to say that the ,singing of the Club was of the highest order and each appearance elicited rounds of applause from the audience and called forth the appreciative encore. Miss McManis, the whistling soloist, made herself a universal favorite in Seaforth. Her powers for producing the sweetest musip with this old fashioned instrument is marvellous and her proficiency in this somewhat common accomplishment is really wonderful. She would be a drawing card here at any time. Her sister, Miss Maud McManis, is also an accomplished pianist. The solos by Miss L. Berry, of Lucknow, were well rendered. She has a sweet vole and her selections were well received. Miss M. Craib has evidently good natural elocutionary abilitienand with cultiva- tion and proper training she may be- come proficient. The solos by Messrs. Hamilton and Willis , were particularly pleasing to the audience and each called forth the warmest applause and received an encore. Miss L. Willson presided at the piano and did her important part with her accustomed precision and skill. On the whole the entertainment was one of the most enjoyable given for a good while and well deseived so large and appreciative an audience. lesson in every down to spend the Twenty -Fourth in Seaforth.—We understand that Rev. George Needham, the minister to whom the Egmondville congregation have ex- tended a call, has accepted the invita- tion, and we congratulate the congrega- tion on their choice of a pastor. Mr. Needham is very favorably spoken of by his fellow students at Knox college, and by others well acquainted with him. He has just lately declined two other _ calls, giving the preference to Egmondville.— Mr. John Dorsey, of this town, did one of the biggest day's business he has done for some time,one day last week, selling no less that eight covered bugies, four of them being sold to Mr.,George White- ley for his livery business, and four to different outside parties. This speaks well for Mr. Dorsey, and shows that he is still alive and doing business even dur- Ting these dull times. The members of the Seaforth Caledonian Society are re- quested to meet in the Orange Hall on Friday evening, 30th inst., at 7 o'clock sharp for the transaction of urgent busi- ness.—We direct the attention of intend- ing visitors to Manitoba and the North- west to the cheap rates advertised by the Canadian Pacific Railway in thie issue.

Millais for the well-known Picture "Yes or No," in which a lady is represented standing with her hands behind her holding a por- trait, while on a table beside her is an open letter supposed to contain a pro- posal, about the answer to which she is deliberating.

The Institute was largely attended and was a very inter- esting and instructive meeting. The entertainment held on Thursdey even- ing was also well attended and was a success in every respect. The full ffi i 1 will be ublished next FOOT -BALL. —One of the Huron dis- trict matches was played on the Recrea tion 0 -rounds in this town on Wednes- day evening, between the Seaforth Col- legiate Institute team and the Walton team. The game was well contested on both sides, but the Seaforth boys had the beat of the game. In the first half time good rushes were Made by both _sides, neither succeeding in scoring. In the second half the ball was kept con- tinually at the Walton goal, and had it not been for the skilful playing of their goal keeper more goals would have been scored. When time was called the score stood 1 to 0 in favor of Seaforth. —On Friday much disappointment was felt among the admirers of foot ball when it was learned that Dundee had given -up by default the game that was to have been played on the twenty- fourth between the team from that town and the Hurons, df Seaforth. In order that the people should not be en- tirely disappointed a match was ar- ranged between the Hurons and a picked team of the best players in -town. Throughout the game great interest was taisen by the spectators, of whom there were a large number present, and some brilliant playing was done on both sides. The game resulted in a victory for the Hurons by 5 goals to 3. The Hurons go to Galt on Saturday. —On Thursday of last week the Col- legiate Institute team visited Mitchell, and played a district match with that club. There was a high wind in the first half; by the help of this Mitchell managed to score the first goal from a shot that rebounded from the bar. In the second half the ball was kept hover ing around the Mitchell goal, and finally from a pass from the right, Hendereon scored. The Collegiate forwards now aettled to work and seored three more goals :n rapid succession, two coming from Smith and one from Willis. The Collegiate .boys were thus victorious by four goals to one. The Collegiate team and the Hurons meet next week to play the final match for the championshipof Huron District.

He left on Monday morning last for Winnipeg. — Mrs. George Parks, of Goderich, was visiting friends in town during the week. THE RACES.—The races held in Fair- view Park in this town on Saturday last were not so good as those usually held on thie park. The open trot did not fill and had to be cancelled. There was a good attendance of spectators, and the crowd would have been much larger, but a report got raised around in the forenoon that one of the races did not fill and that some of the others were simply filled so as to make a race, and a good many who came to the town for the purpose of seeing the races did not go to the park at all. The track was rather wet and heavy" owing to the re cent heavy rains. For the three-minute trot, the following horses started: T. A. Sharp's " Bronkie 13illie " ; E. Liv- ingston's "Dr. Livingstone," and R. Roche's "Tommie 0.' This race was pretty much of a procession, tommie 0. taking threestraight heats and Living- stone three secend heats. Tommie 0. got first money; Livingstone, second, and Bronkie third. Time 2 57 In the two thirty-five trot thfollowing horses started: Geo Whitley's " Duf- ferin " ; J. S. Johnstone's " Grey Tobe " ; R. Roche's "Byron Cole" ; John Beacom's " Tommie Burk." This was quite a good race, the interest cen- tering in the contest between Byron Cole and Burk for the second place. Grey Tobe was too much for the party and took first place in three straight heats, the second money being keenly contested for by Byron Cole and Burke, the latter ultimately taking the prize with Byron Cole a good third. Dufferin was badly out of condition, and although evidently having the most speed of any he could not keep it up for more than half a mile. rime, -2.37. This race concluded the sports of the day, and proceedings closed about four o'clock and the crowd returned to town and many started for home. This is .the first time there has been anything like a failure on this track, and the only reason we can assign for it is that the horses are not in the country, or if they are they have not been pet in training so early in the season; as the purses were sufficiently large to attract first- class horees and the track has as good a reputation as any inthis country, so that if any were disappointed there .is no person to blame for it. has been assisting Mr. H.

POLITICAL. —On Monday evening the Conservatives held a meeting in the town hall here, and which was fairly well attended. It Was addressed by J. S. Larke, of Oshawa, and Dr. Holmes, of Goderich. Mr. Larke, the Tories now think, would have done them as much good had he remained away. His talks of John Sa.ndfieht's de- feat; the boundary award, streams bill and a number of issues already ex- ploded and won by the Liberal party.. He might well be called a Rip Van Winkle in politics. Dr. Holmes made the regulation speech, except he was wise enough „not to commit himeelf to any of the abused creed cries which his party are now using against the Govern ment. On Tuesday both parties had meetings called for the town plot, and an arrangement was made for a union meeting, but the Conservative speak- ers failed to appear, and Dr. Sloan, of Blyth, and E. E. Wade had it all to themselves, and both delivered good ad- dresses. On Monday night Dr. Mc Donald spoke for over two hours in a blacksmith shop at Ethel, there being no hall that could be got, the only one in the place being an Orange hall. The election of Thomas Gibson is certain if every Reformer and friend of good and honest government does his duty be- tween this and election day. Dr. Mc- Donald speaks in the town hall here on Tuesday evening of next week. Every one wishing to hear the address of the campaign should be present. POLITICAL MEETING.—A meeting in the interests of Mr Thomas Ballantyne will be held in the school house in Sec- tion No. 7, near Chiselhurst, onMon- day eveningnext at 8 o'clock p.m. Mr. Hugh Campbell, of Mitchell, and others will address the meeting. All are cordially invited, and. a general discus- sion of all the -burning questions of the day may be expected. THE CONCERT. —The concert held in the township hall, Stain., on Thursday evening of last week, under the auspices of the Hibbert Agricultural Society, was fairly attended. The wet weather no doubt kept away a good many listen- ers as well as some of those who were expected to take part in the entertain- ment. The entertainment, however, was very good, and those who came out were well repaid for their trouble. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was really good, in fact better than is often heard in more pretentious places, while the readings and recitations were equally acceptable to the audience. Morris. BALL TOTTRNAMENT. — The Queen's Birthday was suitably celebrated on the 7th concession, in a field on Mr. Richard Bewley's farm, by base -ball and foot -ball games. The firat game was la foot -ball match between the junior foot -ball team and School Section No. 9 and Section No. 4 of this town- ship. No. 9 boys easily won the game with a score of 5 to 0. The game was refereed by A. J. McCall. The second was a match between the senior clubs of the above named sections, which was also won by the No. 9 boys, with a score of 1 to 0. James Smith refereed. this game, giving satisfaction to all. The last game was a base -ball match be- tween the 6th and 7th concessions. Seven innings were played, resulting in a. score of 27 to 25 in favor of the 6th. At the end of four innings the score stood 11 to 7 in favor of the 7th, when the catcher for the 7th was laid up by a "blow" from the ball. If this had not occurred the 6th would have experienced some trouble in winning the game. John Walker umpired the game in a gentlemanly and impartial manner. All these games were witnessed by a crowd of greatly interested onlookers. Within the last year these two sections have played six ball matches, five being won by No. 9, and one by No. 4.

Tuckersmith. COURT OF REVISION.—The members of the Council met at Kyle's Hotel, on May 26th, and organized as a Court of Revision the Reeve presiding. There were eight appeals against the assese ment roll, all on the ground of over- charge. Our township has for many years been assessed at or near its real value. The assessment is now as high as any former period. The deprecia- tion in the value_ of lands, which has taken place during recent years, and sales at reduced -value, have made it apparent to the ratepayers that the assessment is too high, hence the ap- peals. An examination of the roll shows several farms assessed at considerable over the market value; it shows, in one case, at least, a farm assessed for $1,500 more than it was bought for during the year. The appeals were determined as follows :—Assessment of Michael Keefe reduced $200, Wm. McNaughton reduc- ed $100, Robert Stewart reduced $700, Richard Robinson assessment maintain- ed, James Broadfoot assessment main- tained, John Stewart reduced $200,John Wood reduced $500, R. Bell assessment maintained. The dog tax of the follow- ing persons has been struck off the roll the dogs having been destroyed, viz :— John Stewart, Jas. Pickard, A. G. Van- Egmoncl, D. Hay, Wm. McKay and Wm. McNaughton. The Council wish it distinctly understood that no applies, - tion to strike off dog tax made later than the date of the Court of Revision will be entertained. The Council feels that inasmuch as the law fixes a date at which revision work should properly be done, it is well to do the work at the proper time as fixed. It was moved by Isaac Webster, second- ed by James Walker' that the assess- ment roll as amendedby this Court be adopted as the revised assessment roll for the year 1890.—Carried.
