EnmerioN DAY. - Thursday was a lively day in town. Vehicles were fly- ing in every direction nearly all day. Every vote was hunted up and taken in, and a good many votes from, Harpurhey and other sUburban parts were taken to Tuckersmith by Seaforth teams. There was splendid work done, especially by the young men on the Reform side, and .every available Vote in town was polled. The following are the votes cast in town for each candidate: Bishop.

It is the in- tention of the teachers and pupils to make this entertainment surpass all preceding ones, both by variety and ex- cellence of the programme. Among the many attractions will be a foot ball match on the school grounds, exercises In the gymnasium, scientific experiments in the laboratory and a first-class musi- cal and literary programme in the as- sembly hall. The band will also be in attendance, and refreshments will be served during the whole evening. Fur- ther particulars will be given later on. Meanwhile we would advise all our citizens to keep the date in mind and be prepared to turn out in large numbers to encourage the atad,enti and enjoy a pleasant evening. • MR. JOHN R. CLARKE. - This cele- brated lecturer, widely known as the "Boot Black" orator, addressed a large audience in Carano's hall last Sunday afternoon, taking for hie subject; "The Moial Heroism of Temperance." He Faye a number of good ideas and happy illustrations on the subject, and being a most enthusiestic temperance advocate himself, could speak from experience. On Monday evening, in the Methodist church, Mr. Clarke delivered his cele- brated lecture on John B.9ough, the late distinguished advocate of temper- ance, to -a very good audience of intelli- gent and attentive listeners. Mr.Clarke has lost none of his old time vim and eloquence, being active and alert, and, quick to perceive the slightest indication of flagging_interest on the part of his audience, when he instantly arouses them with an illustrative and side -split- -ting story. He then, with inimitable tact drives home a series of undeniable truths in the interest of the great and good cause he has espoused and to which he is devoting his life. More strength to his arm and power to his tongue is what every friend of the temperance cause wishes for John R. Clarke. A HURON BOY AGAIN HEARD FROM. - A friend writing from 'Vancouver, Brit- ish Columbia, on May 27, says: "At the sports held at Hastings on the 24th inst., Gideon Perrie, who comes from Brussels, Huron County, swept every- thing before him. In the 125 yards race he beat Gillies, the champion sprinter of Washington Territory, by 2 yards. Putting the 20 lb, shot he beat Murray, the British Columbia champion, with ease. Perrie threw 41 feet 91 - inches ; Murray, 38 feet 3 inches. The next was throwing the light hammer. Perrie offered $25 to any man. that would throw within 25 feet of him. Thie was taking big chances as there are some good hammer throwers in British Columbia. He- succeeded in doing so, beating Murray 27 feet. Perrie threw 134 feet, beating the world's record nine and a -half feet. Throwing the 56 lb. weight Perrie threw 24 feet. There be- ing a dispute about it after the games were over, he threw the 56 lb. weight 26 feet 9 inches. The last was the great event of the day, a wrestling mateh between G. Perrie and, Matsada Sorakichi, the Jap, who is reported to be the best wrestler in the country, and wears the chaanpionship badge awarded by R. K. Fox to the beat wrestler on the continent ih 1884. Perrie succeeded in throwing the Jap in 7-.1 minutes and 13 minutes. The style was catch as catch can, beat two in three falls. Geo. A.Calbick, of Brussels,aecended Perrie." ANOTHER PIONEER GONE. - Mr. Andrew Murdie, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed residents of this district passed away on Tuesday last at his home on the 4th concession of Mc• Killop. Mr. Murdie, who was in his 76th year has been in declining health for two years past -but was always able to go around until two or three days be- fore his de sth which came very sudden- ly and unexpectedly at last. Mr. Mur - die was a native of the Parish of Tongue, Satherlandshire, Scotland. He left the 1 home of his birth in 1842 and came to New York State where his brother had preceded him. He remained there about six months and then came to the town- ship of Ellice, county of Perth, where he took up land, but not liking it there he only staid a few months, and in 1843 same to McKillop and took up the farm on the 4th concession, on whieli he cbn- tinued to reside until the time 'of Ms • death. tie was merried a short time be- fore leaving the old country and his +eldest child, now Mrs. Donald Mc- Gregor, of MeKillop, was born on the Atlantic.' His aged partner still sur vives him, and his death will be to her a sad bereavement indeed. He was among the first settler% in McKillop, and being exceedingly industrious and a good manager, he succeeded not only in making a comfortable home for himself but was also enabled to give wtch one of his children a good start in life. He had a family of four sons and three daugh- ters, all of whom survive him except 'one son. He was held in the highest esteem by all_ who knew him. In his younger days he Was of a remarkably social, cheerful turn of mind, and noth- ing pleased him better than to perpet- rate innocent jokes on his friends and neighbors. He was a man of the atrict- est integrity and was upright in all his dealings, and was one of those who prized his word as highly as Ms bond. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian chureb and his death re- moves another of the honored pioneers of this county, THE CALEDONIAN GAMES AND CON- OIRT.—We would again remind our readers that i the games in connes tion with the Seaforth of July, Dominion Day'''.

JOHNNY SO AND SO GOES A COURT- ING: -We learn that Johnny So and So, one of our jovial High School boys, who for some time past has taken a deep - in- terest in the welfare of a certain widow living not many leagues from here, has also lately become enamoured of the widow's eldeit daughter. Although of tender years she has winning waya and these seem to have captivated the sus- ceptible -heart of our young friend. On a recent afternoon, Johnny, having learned that the mistress of the mansion was away from home concluded that it was a chance not to ;De despised. And so putting his others on and storing his pockets with the usual sweet Meats, he was soon on the way to the widow's having a "you in the hammock and I pear by "smile spread all over his face. We need hardly say that he received a gushing reception and was plying the lovers art with all the adroitness of an old veteran. All went smooth with the youthful lovers until a practical test was made to see whose arms were the longest, with the result that a large light of glass was broken in the front window. Two ladies who, no doubt, heard the racket, came in to investigate and accosted the young lassie with the question. "Is Johnny So and So here ?' The maiden answered with true girlish simplicity, " NO he isn't, and you can't find him anyway, if you hunt the whole house." "Who broke the glass then?" asked the fair questioners. Well, remarked the damsel, "1 -1 -well I just poked my head out to see if Ma was coming." Our ad- vice to Johnny is when you go -a -court- ing again don't go on any particular day, go somewhere between two days when the widow is at home and the wee maiden is in the care of "tired nature's sweet restorer," and for pity sake don't break any more glass, don't lean against the window, but be cautious. -Coss.

It seems that the deceased and a man named Edward Rumford were engaged together in logging. Houghton's wife, who was on the ground where they were wGrk- . mg, was having a dispute about the work, when the husband interfered and Rumford struck him a- blow on the head with a handspike, fracturing his skull.

FATAL ACCIDENT. -The residents of this township were startled on Thurs- day of last week on receiving intelli- gence of the sad accident which occur- red on lot 15, concession 7, by which the owner of the farm, Mr. Samuel Thuell, lost his life. It appears that Thuell was hauling out manure and was going to the field with a load when he accidentally fell among the horses' feet and vvas trampled to death. It is thought that Mr.Thuell was standing on the front part of the load and that the horses, becoming tired by heavy draw- ing, suddenly stopped, causing Mr. Thuell, who was somewhat crippled with rheumatism, to fall forward under their feet, where the horses kicked and trampled him before he could crawl from under them. It was the first load in the morning when the accident happened, and, he was not found until about 11 o'clock, when he was noticed by his son and quickly carried to the house, but he died about ten minutes after- wards. Strange to 'say the horses were standing in the same place with the bruised man under their feet. The fun- eral, under the Orange order, took place on Saturday, when upwards of 115 carriages took part in the procession. Hills Green. THAT CORRECTION. -DEAR EXPOSITOR. -With respect to the correctinn made by Mr. Ed.ward Shafer as to his' buying i the hotel a ' ,Blake, I must say he in- tends the pubic to dwell on that im- portant fact, as he puts it in a very forcible and complimentary address which reflects great credit upon your correspondent whoever he may be, and if he has the least suspicion that I am aspiring for such high honors as cor- respondent from this very thriving vil- lage, I take this opportunity, through your very valuable paper, of informing him to the contrary. I have no time at my disposal, nor am I inclined to run the country hunting trash for the purpose of insulting private citizens, and _ that if his high flavored remarks were intended for me they were entirely out of place and uncalled for. Hoping this will convince the public once for all, I am, Yours Very Respectfully, GEORGE HART. * Brussels. WOOL, WOOL. -Wanted any quail tity of F leece Wool, for which the very highes market price in cash will be paid. I am buying as usual all kinds of grain. R. GuAnAm, Grain Dealer, Brussels. May 27th, 1890. 1172 4 A GOOD Foe.n.-Mr. Alex. McLaugh- lin who lives two miles and a half north of Brussels is the owner of a mare foal which, when three weeks old girthed three feet six inches; the bone of the fore leg measuring six and three quarter inches and that of the hind leg seven and three quarter inches, while the fore arm measured 17 inches. She weighed 254 lbs. This colt is not from a heavy draught, prize -taking mare, but is an undersized general purpose' mare and when in good condition will not exceed 1200 lbs in weight. This colt was sired by Innis & McLaughlin's "Stud Book Chief," imported by Mr.Thos.,McLaugh- lin of Grey. This must be the kind of horse that Mr. John McMann had refer- ence to in his recent letter and which he recommended the farmers to breed from as he is what the Scotchmen term "a grand, big, thick, smooth horse," and weighs 1850 lbs and is not vet three years old. -Com. RETIREMENT OF REV. Mr. Howein.- Some Weeks ago Rev. G. B. Howie, L. A., of Brussels, announced to his Session and congregation that though he is deep- ly attached to and interested in them he must needs hand in his resignation on the 2nd Tuesday in July. The proba- bilities are that Mr. Howie is to return to Jerusalem to work among Jews or Mohammedans there, and in view of the fact that he is an Eastern by birth and education as well as a minister in good standing in the Presbyterian Church, the step, if -taken, must be pronounced desirable. Meanwhile Knox Church, Brussels, offers a field for some unem- ployed preacher and no doubt many will look after it at once. The congre- gation is small but is a most desirable one. Bayfield. H. F.

A MISTAKE. -Having read in TEI EXPOSITOR, and also in the Brussels Post of the 23rd ult., an article in refea ence to George Ondbolt, a resident Sf Sunshine, having shot an old fox and captured alive six young ones, I beg leave to state that there 18 no such * person residing here, and to the best of my knowledge there has been no sna capture of foxes made by any resident of this place. The article referred la also states that Sunshine is between Woodham and Winchelsea. This is also a mistake, as Woodham is in tie South Riding of the County of Perth, and Winchelsea in the South Riding of the County of Huron' while Sunslaineii in the East Riding ofthe same County, Whether our esteemed editors Ina been made the victims of a huge jokeby some misinformed correspondent we ere unable to say. But so far as Sunshine is concerned the article published lise no reference to this place or any of its citizens. And its Sunshine,in the town- ship of Morris, is the only place of that name in the Dominion of Canada there must be a mistake somewhere. Rensall. FINE PURCHASE. -Mr. T.
