Her demise occurred on June 3rd, after about two weeks' ilineSs. Miss Hunter, in company with her mother, visited Seaforth last summer, epending about six weeks here, the guest of her u.ncle and aunt, and in their com.pany visited numerous friends and places throughout the county. She was delighted with the hospitality and friend- liness of the Canadians whom she met, add greatly enjoyed her visit here. The many friends who a rmecI her acquaintance here will deeply reel to bear of her early death, as her kindly presence, genial manner and in- - telIigence, endeared her to ail. • Densmare, D. D., pastor of the first Con- gregational church, Garnett, Kansas, and a. former Seaforth boy, ia renewing his sub- scription to TUE. EXPOSIToR, gives the fol- lowing interesting detail's of home scenes : I can't da without the old home paper. I have reed it since its first issue, and it has followed me to a great many different States in the Union. Here in Kansas we are an- ticipating a very prosperoue year. There hahe been many good rains, and crops of all kincle promise an alaindance, In the south- ern &unties wheat cutting is well under way. Last week I passes' through the southern part of the state, and the wheat crap is generally good. Corn and potatoes heve been soinetvhat injured' by the exces- sive moistere, especially in the bottom lands, but there has been ample time for re- planting. In my leisute moments I culti- vate a small garden in the rear of my , church, and lied ample exercise and recre- ation after a liaad (lapin the study. I had new potatoes on May 15th, and peas and aeans on May let.h. I have promised the Iady, where my little daughter and I make our home, ' roasting ears ' for next Sunday's dianer. Those who made much sport at the idea of the Doctor's' gardening, now stdmit that he does know something about farming.' I ought to if my early experi- uce counts for anything. There have been 44, JUNE 19, 1896 several very destructive cyclones': in _ other parts of the -State, but eae have escaped thus far. Politics are getting Iced hot, • and a crisis in both State and National affairs is upon us. This Presidential campaign will probably be one of the most interesting in the history of the Union. Next week, at St. Louis, will decide the Republican candis date for President, but there is little doubt' but McKinley will be the nominee of the convention. My little daughter and I ex- pect to start about July for a vacation in the east, and as I have taken none for two years we will 'probably be gone until about September first. I hope to visit .Seaforth and thescenes of my boyhood days, and greet old acquaintances once more. I am very pleasantly situated here, with a - fine church and a most appreciative people. Just now, in this county, we are having quitea temperance campaign in' the endeavor to prevent the re -submission of the Prohibitory amendment. Prohibition is all right, and the people don't want to go back again to the open saloon." • . • SOUTH HURON' -. NOIIINeame s. -The pr eeedings in . ronneotion with the Sout Huron nominations, were held in Seafort on Tuesday last. The candidates nomi ated were Mr. John McMillan and M Thomas E. Hays.

He as comieg from the pib with a load of grave , and, allowing the lines to get somewhat sl ck, the buckle of one line caught in the ri g of the bach band, and Mr. Hawn got out on the tongue of the wagon between the -Is rses to relieVe the line and when in' thi position the horses grit frightened, and Mr Hawn, losing his balance, fell between the . Fortunate- ly, he had presence of mind to catch on to the whiffletrees, which in some measure broke the fall, but he was for ed ultimately to let go his hold, and the Wheels of the • wagon passed over both ims, and one wheel struck him on the hea . One of his arms was broken, the other ruised, andle received,. a bad scalp wound He was con- veyed home, and we are pl ased to learn that with the exception of the fractured arrn,has now nearly recovere ,and is able ta walk around. It is, bow ver, almost a miracle that be was not mo e seriously in- jured, as he • is an elderly entleman, and the wagon which passed. ver him was heavily loaded with gravel. The horses, after running a short distanc , were captur- ed without doing any further injury. They ran up against fence, an were caught by Mr. Joseph Foster, who as on the road at the time.

POLITICAL.—The Tupper d monstration, held here on Friday last, w largely at- tended by 1?oth Conservatives nd Liberals, who were drawn aut by a feeli g of curios- ity to see and hear Sir Charles Tupper, the Premier of Canada, and man came long distances. They did have an o portuniby of seeing the old gentleman, but t ey did not hear much. He only spoke for about five minutes, and did not take up any of the public questions. In this respe , therefore, the people were very much el' appointed, and some gave vent to their dig ppointment in plain and pointed language. on. John Carling and Hon. Dr. Montagu , who ac- companied the Premier, each delivered lengthy addresses, and, althoug both were good, they did not make up for the disap- epointment felt on account of not earing the Premier. Dr. Rollins, of Exete presided, and introduced each speaker in few well choeen remarks, and in ever way dis- charged his duties in a neat an pleasing manner, as he invariably does o such oc- casions. The town was neatly de °rated by evergreen arches, banners and sue like, and the local Conservatives left noth' undone on their part to make the affair ost sue- eessful, but for all this, there was manifest lack of the usual. enthusiasm, and the visit of the Premier and his colleagues will not materially aid the Conservative andidate here on election day.—Hen.

The meeting n Monday evening,was very largely attend - d, the hall being erowded. Mr. McMillan bly addressed the electors, occupying about wo hours, and was listened to with very uch interest.
