ED- rtoR.—How is it that our street water- ing is so wretchedly done this season, and where does the fault lie? The dust is not kept down, unless by rain, on any day until it is just about time to close the stores. Surely, after the petition, properly signed and presented to the Council, we should not be obliged to look after the man to do the work, and then in the end have to pay for work that has not been performed. — MERCHANT. • • THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE ENTER- TAILTMENT.—The various Committees •_have been organized and are now active- ly at work preparing for the Collegiate Institute Entertainment which will be held on the 27th inst.

It was coined in Gaul some time between the years 350 and 353 A. D. and during the reign of the Emperor Magnentius. This ancient Monarch was born in the year 303 A. D., proclaimed Emperor at Antun in • 350, and killed himself in 353. The coin is dark color- ed, about the size of an American cent, and bears on its face the side head por- trait of the above named Emperor. It was given to the Walton Session by Mr. Thomas Warner, of Cohocton, New Yora, in exchange for a church token such as is used for church membersh ip by the congregation. CALL ACOEFTED.—The many friends hereabouts of the reverend gentleman whose name is mentioned in the follow- ing despatch from London to the daily papers on Tueeday, will unite with us in congratulating him on his good fortune and in wishing him a long, use- ful and pleasant pastorate. The des- patch reads as follows: "The London Presbytery met to -day in the First. Presbyterian Church and unanimously voted to sustain a call to Rev. W. J. Clark as euccessor to Dr. Proudfoot. The stipend is $1,500 with a manse and a month's vacatien. . The decision of the presbytery was telegraphed to the reverend gentleman; who responded :— "I accept the call as sustained by the presbytery." Mr. Clark's examination takes place on Wednesday afternoon, July 2, and if satisfactory his induction will follow the same evening." UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS. —The re- sult of the last annual examination of Toronto University was published on Saturday. In the fourth year 20 out of 97 failed; two of the failures being com- plete. This is an unusual number to be 'docked in the fourth year as the weak students are generally weeded out in the lower years. Seventy two third year men were successful and 32 failed. Fifty-five sophomores crossed the Rubi- con while 88 died on the way. Seventy- six out of 175 freshmen are dead or wounded. The Seaforth contingent had the usual success that rewards industry. George Hammill has attained the quiet dignity of a senior, having passed his third year with honors in mathematics; W. McQueen and W. M. Govenlock took honors in mathematics in the sec- ond year. George Anderson and J. S. -Ieluldrew are no longer freshmen, the former obtained honors in matheniatics, highly creditable to him too, as he only attended lectures about six weeks. It is noticeable •that the majority of Sea - forth students attending the University take the honor department of mathe- matics. CHEAP GOODS. ing the balance of this pnces for cash.

Several very nic musical selections were rendered by tae church choir under the leadership of Mr. Stephenson. The chair on this occaelon also was occupied by Rev. Mr. Musgrave, who performed the duties in his usual cheerful manner. The evening was a most pleasant one, -and all present seemed to enjoy them- selves highly. From all we can learn the congregation have made a most judicious choice and have secured an able pastor and a consistent, earnest church worker, and will now, we trust, enter upon a renewed career of prosperity and usefulness. We sincerely hope that the relations entered into between pastor and people on Tuesday, and commenced so ausPiciously, may long endure and that the congregation under Mr. endure, and charge will be blessed with spiritue.1 and temporal prosperity and growth. DEATH OF Mn, JOHN COLLIE.—We have previously referred to the illness of Mr. John Collie, Editor of the Galt Reformer and son of Mr. Joseph Collie, of Egmondville, but we then little thought that we would so soon have the • rnelanclaoly duty_to perform of chroni- cling his death. He passed peacefully away about 104o'clock Wednesday fore- noon, at the age of 32 years. The dis- ease which caused his death was con- sumption of the larynx. He had been troubled slightly with his throat for about two years, and last winter he had a severe attack of la grippe, which ulti- mately settled in the larynx, that be- ing the weak point, and from that time he failed very rapidly. About three months ago he gave up business and went to a Sanitarium in New York State for treatment but without much beneficial resultseeille then returned to Toronto and was under the care of the best specialists there for a time, but all in vain. When they found they could do nothing further for him, he came home, arriving here a week ago last Wednesday. His friends were much shocked and pained. at the great change in him and it was then evident to 411 that his time here must be short, but although he was greatly emaciated. and very weak, none thought the great change would come so soon. Fortun- ately, his sufferings were not severe, but on account of the nature of the disease he had been unable for some time to take any solid food and his voice was almost entirely gone. Mr. Collie came to this country with his parents when quite a young lad, and after attend- ing the public school at Egmond- ville for a short time, he became an apprentice to the printing busi- ness in THE EXPOSITOR office. Having completed his apprenticeship he got the position of foreman and mechanical manager of the Galt Reformer. After holding that position for a time he pur- chased the Paisley Advocate, and con- ducted it for a year and a half. He then, in company with Mr. McGiverin, and at the earnest solicitation of the Hon. James Young, purchased the Galt Reformer, and his connection with this journal only terminated at his death. He was, from the first, a remarkably steady, industrious and trustworthy. young man. He soon took a position among the leading citizens of Galt, and ,by his marked ability as a writer and his thorough knowledge of his business, combined with his natural industry, he succeeded in bringing the Reformer from a very low journalistic standing to be one of the best and most profitable local papers in the Province. He was a clear, concise, ready writer, and a fluent speaker, and had his life been spared he would ere long have taken his place in the legislative halls of the country. A useful and promising career has thus been suddenly cut short His early death is a sad bereavement to his . parents and other friends, and this an- nouncement will be received with feel ings of sincere setrote and deep regret by a very large circle of friends here as well as in the town and county where he was even more widely known than here. The funeral takes place on Saturday next, when the remains will be interred in Egmandville cemetery. He was un- married.

On the even- ing of that day he addressed an open mi eeting n the rooms of the Association. The chair was occupied by Mr. T.,0. Kemp, the Preasident of the Association. There was a fair attendance of ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Cole delivered an excellent and interesting address in which he made reference to the rapid strides of progress being made by the Association throughout the 'Dominion and the grand work which it is accom- plishing, and gave kind words of en- couragement to the local association. Short addresses were also delivered by, Rev. A. D. McDonald and Mr. M. Y. McLean. There were also several nice selections of vocal and instramental music given. On the whole the meeting was a very interesting and pleasant one. Mr. bole urged the propriety of securing permanent and larger premises for the use of the Association in which class rooms, a gymnasium, etc., could be established. The Amociation is doing a splendid work among the young men of this town, and it is well entitled to the hearty support and assistance of our citizens generally, and the indefatigable President and other leading members of the Association can not be given too much praise for the time and attention they devote to it. The Sunday morn- ing Bible class is one of the most en- couraging features, as it is largely at- tended and is exerting a most beneficial influence. We hope the good work may go on and prosper, and that those en- gaged in it will be encouraged by wit- nessing much good fruit as the reauls of their labors. new home for his family, and we be- lieve he came home for the purpose of removing his family back with him. Re was a son of Mr. Wm. Kyle, of the township of Hay, and a brother of Mr. William Kyle, jr., •of Kippen. He was an industrious, hard- working, honorable man and was well liked by all who knew him. His family and friends will have the sincerest sym- pathy of all in their sad and very sud- den bereavement. The remains, were in- terred in the Brucefield cemetery on Monday, and the sympathy for the be- reavea friends,as well as the high esteem in which the deceased was held, was well manifested by the large number who attended the funeral. FOOT BALL.—When the Berlin Rang- ers and Seaforth Hurons lined up for the final tie for the Western Associa- tion cup last Saturday, the weather was all that the most enthusiastic admireeof the game could desire. The recent rains made the grounds heavy ; as a consequence play was slow, otherwise the game was nearly faultless. The Hurons won the toss and the Rangers started off with a rush that threatened danger to their opponents goal; the tide - soma turned, however, and the leather travelled pretty regularly from end to end for more than a quarter of an hour, until Smith, of the Hurons, sent it 'under the tape. No more goals were scored during the first half. Early in the second half Berlin's centre shot a grounder close by the goal post that baffled Clennan and immediately there was a rise in Ranger stock; Bowman and Gibson made some fine rushes down the left wing; a dead silence on the grand stand and fears were entertained that the cup would not leave its native Waterloo; but that silence developed into a mighty shout when Henderson scored number two for Seaforth. Later on Dewar scored the third goal from a foul. atibaon dropped two and Bow- man one splendid shot from the corner but the Huron goal keeper met them each time. Time being called, the match resulted in three goals to one in favor of the Hurons. The champions of the Toronto District play the Hurons at an early date. The fallowing were the tdams : HURONS. Clennan, McDonald, W. } Willis, Jackson McDonald, D. , Livingstone, Crawford, • Smith, Henderson, Killoran, Dewar, HISFRRRE—S. J. Radcliff, Stratford. —The postponed foot ball match be- tween the Hurons of Seaforth and the Collegiate Institute teamefor the cham- pionship of Huron District, was played on the Recreation Grounds on Tuesday evening last. The game, although a little slow, was fairly well contested. In the first half, the Hurons succeeded in scoring one goal. The Collegiate team scored the first goal in the second half, thus making the score a tie. and for a while things looked rather blue :for tile Hurons. The Hurons managed to score another goal, however, and after this they had decidedly the best of the game, scoring two more goals. When time was called the score stood 4 to 1 in favor of the Hurons, thus making -them the champions of Huron District. GOAL, BAOKS, HALF BACKS, FORWARDS, HANORRS. Sims. I Brown, 1 Roat.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Mr. John Kyle of the 8th concession of Tuckerernith, died very suddenly on Saturday last. He had been at Kippen in the forenoon, and returned home, his brother accompany- ing him. When they got home the de- ceased went to the barn to get a ham- mer and nails to nail some board's on the fence. When returning frOhe the barn he was noticed to suddenly stop, and his_knees doubling under him, he fell to the ground. His wife and broth- er immediately went to his assistance, and got him on his feet again. By this time he had recovered somewhat, and was able, with a little assistance, to walk to the house, and was got to bed. H d complained of lightness in the head, and a feeling of suffocation, and was un- able to remain in bed. His brother at once came to Seaforth for a doctor, but before he got back Mr. Kyle had passed away. It is supposed that heart disease was the cause of his death. He was quite a young man, not quite 42 years of age, and was to all appearance strong and robust and as likely as any person to live to a good old age. He had only re- turned a few days previously from the States, where he had been looking out a Varna.

The only money taken was a few dollers in American silver and some small change. There were also four silver watches and one revolver missing, but it is impossible to tell what all has been taken. The safe is badly wrecked. There is no suspicion as to who the guilty parties are. Morris.

AS IT SHOULD BE.—The election ex- citement has died out, and the people of this sequestered little burgh are at last pursuing the even tenor of their way. The angry voices of political disputants have given place to the more peaceful click of the croquet ball. Grit and Tory have buried the hatchet, and they now smoke the pipe of peace as they talk of the frost, the crops and the weather. The smile of triumph which broadened the face of the Reformer has been reduced to a look of satisfaction, whilst the sickly expression on the coun- tenance of the Conservative has been altered to one of resignation. "What fates impose, that men must needs abide, It beats not to resist both wind and tide SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS. — We are pleased to notice that Mr. J. M.

May 27th, 1890. • 11724 DOMINION Data—Brussels is going to celebrate Dominion Day in a manner grander and better than ever before and will give more liberal prizes. In the morning will be a grand Trades proces- sion, representing all the different manufacturing institutiOns of the place, to be followed by base ball, lacrosse and athletic sports, the whole to conclude with a promenade concert in the skating rink which will close with a fine exhibi- tion of fireworks. Every one wanting to spend an enjoyable day should come to Brussels on Dominion Day. ELECTION CHIPS. —Election has pass- ed and gone and quietness has again taken the place of election excitement. On the whole it was not as bitter as some former ones, although Brussels out did herself by quadrupling her ma- jority of 16 four years ago. That was more than the Tories could stand and they never again during the election day recovered. On election day a farmer had a cow in town and put her in a citi- zen's stable and then asked the citizen if she could' stay there for a short time, when he was told it would be all right. They then got talking about the election and how the voters were coming out but finally the citizen remarked that he sup- posed the farther had been out and voted for Musgrove. The farmer responded he had been out and voted for Gibson, when the citizen at once, ordered the farmer to take his cow out of his stable and he did so. If any one can give a meaner case of political bigotry than. this I would like to hear of it. BRIEFS. —.W. H. Kerr, Thos. Fletcher and the resident ministers were away at Stratford attending the Metho- dist Conference the latter part of last week.—A number of our sports were out fishing the past week but the catch was not very large, the speckled beauties are getting scarce.—Harry Dennis, who has been laid up with typhoid fever for the last two weeks, is improving.—Farmers are beginning to complain of too much rain for the crops and that they can'tget their roots in.—Morris and Grey, it is reported, are going to spend $300 in gravel on 12 miles of road. They can easily find room for more on the mile north and south of the village. One thousand dollars would be more like it. It is easily to be seen the Reeves did not travel on the gravel road last spring. The farmers traveling on the road have it all in their own hands and should compel the council to make good roads by petitioning the county council. If they want a good road they should do this, or put in men next year who will put the road in proper repair. It is now by 50 per cent. the worst road in the county and this is dee to the penny wise and pound foolish policy of past years. others. 1174 BRIEFS.—Mr. Andrew Fowlie, who has been from home over a year, re- turned last week.—Meeers James Fergu- son and Israel Jeffroy are home from the Bastards.—Rev.

A REPLY.—DZAR EXPOSITOR ; In flee to myself and our clerical ecrihti permit me to make a few remarks on the article that appeared in last weelna issue. The public will see by his rot writings that he is well up in rhetoric, ' possessed of more than average ablate', and will no doubt in the near futurerlee to sotnething higher than writing holt for the purpose of insulting priest* citizens, and with his magic pen la ridicule any one. Besides, he is forming a great mission, zorrespo for our fair questioners. 1 need scar mention the greater part of the &dick is false, and the writer has summed his own lifiidong experience when 110 penned those words of learned leagth and thundering sound. In conclusion: I will tell your readers this is not the first time he has written anonymous letters for publication, and I hope in till future he will be more careful. A wow to the wise.
