Let us still hope that many years of good service in another Church and country may be given to one whom we can ill af- ford to lose." The gentleman above mentioned is a sort of the late Rens John Logic, for 20 yearpastor of the Pree- byterian church at Rodgerville. His brother, Mr t George Logie, who taught in the capacity of Classical Mas- ter for three months in the Seaforth Col- legiate Institute last winter, atnern- panies him to Colorado. WELL MERITED.—As will be seen by the County Council report published tie this issue, the salary of Mr. Peter Adamson has been increased to $1,000, beingun advance of 1100. This advance was given entirely without solicitation on Mr. Adamson's part, the Council deeming, very justly we think, that he was properly entitled to it. The Clerk has been an exceedingly painstaking and competent official in tilts capacity for over thirty years, always faithful, will- ing and obliging, and is in fact, from his natural ability and long experience an authority on county council matters. At the meetings of the Council he in reality occupies the dual position of Warden and Clerk, the duties of the former in a measure being merely figurative and honorary. Apart from all this Mr. Adamson has on many occasions render ed extra service to the county, which long ere thisfehould have received tangi- ble recognition. The slight advance given will prove a great source of grati- fication to Mr. Adamson, and no one at all acquainted with the circumstances but will admit its correctness. non expooitor.1 THE HURON EXPOSITOR. gratulating the Stage upon his appoint- ment, The appointment from a political standpoint may fairly be said to have been well earned, and although it can scarcely be •admitted by the recipient's most ardent admirers that Mr. Johnston has displayed any very great abilities as a lawyer, yet his many friends of all shades of politics can oongratulate him on his advancement,and hope that homey long be spared to competently fill the honorable position conferred upon him, DISTRICT MATTERS. OMISSION.—In publishing the names of those of our Collegiate Institute who sueoessfully passed the Toronto Univer- sity examinations held in May last, Mr. Robt. Rd.'s name was accidentally omitted.

DIE LATE MRS, DEWAR.--Mrs. Helen Dewar, relict of the late Archibald Dewar, Public School Inspector for North Huron, died at her residence here last Wednesday ,morning. She ihad been in declining health ever since the death of her husband, over six years ago, and during last year was Confined to bed for nearly seven months. Recovering somewhat 'from this severe attack she was able to be up and around, but was taken ill again about the beginning of February, since which time she gradually became weaker and towards the last was a great sufferer, and death was a happy release to the, weary epirit. Mrs. Dewar was a native Canadian. She was born July 18th, 1831, in Beckville township, County of Lanark. She removed from there to Plympton, near Sarnia, in 1849, was united in marriage with the late Mr. Dewar on December 29, 1857, and at once •came with her husband to Him- purhey, where they 'resided for ten years, removing then to Seaforth, which has been the home of the deceased ever since. Mrs. Dewar was a good woman, caring for her home and family with the most tender solicitude and training her children in good principles and habits of industry. She was kind and hospitable, and friendly in a high elegree,and her memory will becherished lby many friends and relatives, but especially by her own family, the mein- •bers of which, during her long and trying illness, were unceasing in their loving attentions and tender care, and now mourn her loss and look sadly at the vacant place in their home circle. She leaves a grown up family of three eons and two daughters. The remains will be interred in Egmondville ceme- tery this (FridaY) forenoon. • LOCAL BRIEFS.—Mr. Wm. M.

Willison, for some time sub -editor, and known to its readers more particalarly as ttObserver," is to be advanced ti4 the position of editor-in-chief ; and MrEd, ward Farrar,.of the Mail, is to coma over the Globe as principal editorial writer. Mr. Willison, we are pleased to learn, was a former resident ef the township of Stanley, in this counteeand the fact of his being placed in es) im- portant a position upon the leadingnews- peper of the Dominion, certainly speake well for himself, as well as adds another ,to the many instances in which our Hu-, ran boys have ascended in the strife for place, honor and distinction. For this reason, we all the more readily wish the Globe continued prosperity under its new regime, and confidently expeet that thegeneral excellence which has char- acterized it during the able management of Mr. Cameron will be amply sustained by his successors. We have not learned what Mr. Willison's salary is to be, but Mr. Farrar will be paid $5,000 per annum. THAT WRETCHED STREET WATER - NG. — DEAR REPOSITOR. — Another merchant, probably an interested one, is trying to defend the street watering with an article in last week's Sun, but I am afraid he is not succeeding very well, and I think the complaint in THE Ex OECITOR by "Merchant' was not one whit too severe for on both sides of me were the merchants complaining of the miserable failure of the watering so far or this season, and our worthy police- man will bear me out that the above are facts, as I have heard several accost him regarding the dust. He will also relate, if asked of course, how when he was passing our store, I called him in and wrote his name and other flourishes on the counter, which had been dusted only a short time before. But I doebt now that I would have written this,only for the fearful dose of dust we got yesterday, Thursday, it -being a windy day. I hope, Mr. Editor, you will ex- mme me for trespassing on so °much of your valuable space.—STILL ANOTHER klaitettANT.—Seaforth, June 20, 1890. OBITUARY.—Many Seaforth will regret to learn of the death, of Mr. Charles Grant Finlay, youngest son of the late William Finlay, Esq., of Sim - we, which sad event took place at his mother's residence in that town on Sun- day, 15th inst., at 9 p. m. at the early age of 23 years. Mr. Finlay was form- erly teller in .the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Seaforth. In November last, owing to failing health, he resigned his position and went to 'lumen Ari- , zone, and passed the winter there, as it was hoped that by a lengthened stay in the South the disease from which he esufferecl, chronic bronchitis, might be stayed, but the hope proved vain, as two or three months ago he had a severe at- tack of la grippe, from which he never rallied. His case being pronounced hopeless he returned home a few weeks ago to die. He was a young man of ,great uprightness of character and of more than average ability, and had he lived and been restored to health he would no doubt have risen to some prarninence in his chosen profession. kie ' • iiiNE 27 1890. the crops and if blight and rust keep away, the chances for fall granaries this fall seem very good.

They came back well pleased with the day's fun.— A few sidewalks have been laid under the supervition of P. 11. Baker. The necessity of these have long been felt, and we feel deeply indebted to Mr. Baker for the couree he has taken. on the Recreation Grounds in this town week. About the only objectionable onSaturday last. The ball was 'kicked feature of this was the extraordinary off at 2.50. The Soots rushed the ball jubilation of the boys on their return, down on the Seaforth goal, but ,et was soon returned to mid field, i and the,play was pretty evenenntil the Scots' centre made a rush down the field with the ball and succeeded in scoring, time 14 kmin- utes. After the ball was kicked off the Scots had the best of the game, Med suc- ceeded in scoring a second goal in 12 minutes. Our boys now wakened up and, entirely outplayed the Scote, Dewar and Henderson scoring in 4 minettes and Killoran in 5 minutes. Time wee called before the score, which stOod 2 he 2, was altered. After play was resureed the Hurons had again the best of the game, but luck was against them, end they were unable to score, although fierce and continued attacks were made on the Scots' goal. Play went on for 17 min- utes when a shot on the Seaforth goal being misjudged by Clennan went through the goal, giving the Soots the lead by t goals to 2. After this the Hurons kept the :ball continually on the Scots' goal, but by strengthenieg their defence the Scots made all attempts to score fruitless. Time was called before any more scoring was done, thus leaving the Scots victorious by 3 goals to 2. The Hurons go to Toronta on Saturday to meet the Scots again, and as the greatest numlkr of goals scored in the two matchee decides who 'will be champ- ion e of Ontario the Hurons have yet a good chance for the champienship, and mill, we have no doubt, be suceessful. REV. JOHN LOUIE'S SON. — In the June number of Knox College monthly, we find the following notice, which will be read with interest and much regret. by many of our readers. It says: "Friends everywhere will :regret to know that T. M. Logie has been ordered away by his medical advisers, and that he has left Canada, in all probability, never to return to give the Church and the couatry the services of thoee splen- did abilities which placed him easily in the front rank. For years he has fought ,heroically against a fell enemy, but at last has had to retreat to better vantage ground. like so many other victims of lung trouble he has gone to sunny Col- orado. Before leaving Toronto, a fare- well meeting was held in Knox College, attended by the resident students and a few outside friends. Every assurance of the kindliest interest was given. to Mr. Logie, in token of which a purse, .contaiuing a considerable sum of money was presented to him. It is a long time since we have had. to record anything so Bad and disappointing. Logie was one of the mnst brilliant students. Toronto UoiverSity has seen few of his equals, K ilex College has never had his superior. Many, have been looking to him as a cornung professor,' and had his health been good it might have been less diffi- cult to find a successor to George Pax- - ton Young. It is a sore loss to Knox College. Logie would have been grad- uated next year, and his alma meter or some other college would not be long type and so well rendered as to thrill the least ardent lover of music, and brought forth loud calls for more." The solos of Messrs McGill and Tanner were exceptionally good and "took down the house every time. The Quar- tette club, consisting of Misses Haugh- ton, Patterson and Pettypiece and Messrs Duffield and Stephenson, from Wingham, favored us with a number of selections in their usual good style, and as they have been present on previous occasions their reappearance was of such a nature & to make them always welcome on such occasions. The pro- gramme closed at a late hour and every- one departed feeling well satisfied with the evening's entertainment. - Wingham.

He gave a very interesting address, descrip- tive of his native country, the residents of which are under the oppressive rule of the Turks, and are ground down by ignorance and poverty. It is Mr. Man- eheffs intention to return to his native country as a missionary when he has finished his college course, and we are sure he will prove a most earnest and. effective teacher.—Mrs. Samuel Bennett, of this town, is at present visiting rela- tives and friends in the State of Michi- gan.—Mr. George Barry, fnrniture deal- er of Goderich, wasin town on business Monday.—Mr. Archie Dickson, son of 'Mr. John° Dickson, Roxboro, has been ill for some time and is suffering from typhoid fever.—John Kennedy, son of Mr. P.

Mr. Johnston has been a resident of Gode- rich since his birth, and is ivell known throughout the county. , Being possess- ed of a moderate amount of this woild's wisdom, a happy faculty of winning and retaining friends of the jolly good fel- low" stamp, couitled with an abun- dance of courage, his longing for fame and notoriety became prominently ob- servable early in life. He 800n made his influence felt in the municipal and political arena of his native town, and he has continued to take an exceedingly active part in public affairs. He sue ceeded in becoming a member of the County Council, and was Warden of the County some years ago, and has fre- quently been an aspirant in the politi- cal field. The county council of Huron last Friday afternoon, as a matter of courtesy to a former colleague, present - .ed him with a handsome gold locket and chain, the locket being elaborately engraved, and the presentatioe was ac- oompanied by a meetly worded address son, Tuckersmith.

CHEESE FACTORY.—Our cheese factory is now in full running order, and the directors are looking forward to a large make this season.

This was followed by a solo by "Fairy" Morgan, who also gave several other solos and recitations, which displayed a talent that is .seldom surpassed, and her appearance here should be sufficient to attract a goodly number of our citizins to Wingham on Friday evening, when " Fairy " and Professor Morgan will give one of their grand concerts.
