DISTRICT MATTERS. MCKILLOP VOTERS.—The Voters' list for the township of McKillop, for 1896, has just been issued, and from it we learn some interesting statistics. The total num- ber of voters on the list is 885, of these 712 are eligible to vote at both municipal elec- tions and elections to the Legislative As- sembly ; 146 are entitled to vote .at muni- cipal elections only, and 27 at elections to the Legislative Assembly only. The num- ber of persons qualified to serve as jurors is 451. fb------. THE Gus CLUB.—A team from the Sea - forth gun club went to Bayfield on Dominion Day to shoot for the Swartz cap against the Clinton club, arid were defeated by that team by two birds. The following is the score : Clinton,—E. Hovey, 14 ; Dr. Black - all, 14 ; J. McMurray, 12; E. Cantelon,13; George Hinchley, ; total, 65. Seaferth, —A. J. Bright, 11 : J. Stephens, 15 ; J. Dodds, 13 ; J. Turner, 10 ; E. Hinchley, 14 ; total, 63. These teams will have to shoot again for this trophy, before complete possession is obtained. - • FALSE ALA.RMS.—About seven o'clock, on Thursday evening of last week, an alerm_ was sounded at the fire hall, from the cor- ner of Main and Goderich streets, and in a very short time the firemen were on hand,to find that the cause of the alarm was an in- spector of the Fire Underwriters' Asaoci- ation. He expressed himself as satisfied with the fire alarm, and the effiaiency of the brigade and the applianees.—About half - past five o'clock, on Monday afternoon last, an alarm was. given from the same corner, and in the course of a minute -or so two hose carts and a hook and ladder wagon were on hand, -and the hicherto almost deserted streets were quite alive with a hurrying throng. But there was no fire. Some men taking down the old automatic telephone wires had drawn one across the alarm wire, which in some way caused the bell at the fire hall to sound. • Etearreaviean Noans.—Mr. Donald Dal- las, of Victoria, British Columbia, has been visiting his sister in this village, and other relatives and friends in the vicinity, for some days. Mr. Dallas holds a good posi- tion as teacher in the Victoria schools, and has come east to spend his holidays.—Miss Madan Muhlrew is holidaying with friends • in Galt and Woodstock.—It is almost pathetic to see the moUrnful visage and hear the doleful remarks of some of the good protectionists of this country since the elections. One woald think blue ruin stared them in the faee, since the advent of those naughty Grits to power. They seem to for- getja few things. One is that Mr. Laurier is not a revolutionist, and Sir Oliver Mowat is always very conservative as to changes. Another is, that many manufacturers pros- pered under a 17,1 per cent. tariff, previous to 1878, and that they have been able to make business profitable since then by run- ning their machinery, in many cases, on about half time.- Possess your hearts in peace, gentlemen. The reckless extrava- gance of the past 18 years renders even a °O per cent. tariff impossible for some time, at least.—Miss Odie Kennedy is spending a few wesks with. relatives and friends in Teronto.—Mr. McGee has secured a patent for his new washing machine. We have not learned his intentions as to the manufacture of the article, but think it probable that he will sell the rig-ht.—Mr. Andrew McGee left for his home in Toronto on Wednesday. He was accompanied by his brother, William, who will spend some time be the •ity with relatives. Both these old gentle- nita, though over 80, arel blessed with a fair degree of health. They come from an- eestry noted for longevity ; the six remain- ing members of which foot up to the corn - lined age of 487 years. Truly, a remark - able showing.—Mrs. Dallas and childre leave this (Friday) morning for their horn at Spanish River, here Mr. Dallas h been working as a missionar for Rom yeare.—Seven candidates from our echo wrote on entrance work last week, and se eral others are wrestling with more a vanced work at present.—Our people we asked on Sabbath evening het assi in .making the earl closing moveme in. town on Saturd ys a success. .W hope it will be a Success, and would rather see it six o'clock, as it should be, than nine. Pnrchasers should imagine themselves in the merchants' place, and see how it would fit their liking to be kept tending till all hours every Saturlay night. If our people 'would put themselves in many a dealer's place it would modify their views ; the milkman's, for example.—Mrs. H. M. Chesney and little daughter Ella left on Tuesday morning for Ts anitoba, where they will spend a month r two with relatives and friends. Such a ripe undertaken all alone, requires no li tle pluck ; judging, however, from past ex erience in riding and driving, Mrs. Chesney ossesses an ample amount of that to carr er safely through. —Mrs. MeEwing leaves to -day, (Friday,) on a visit to her sons at Palmerston. It seems almost a miracle that she is able for such a journey after such a protracted and severe illness. She will be accompanied by her grand -daughter, Miss Maggie • SATURDAY EARLY CLOSING.—The pro- moters of the -Saturday early closing move- ment are to be congratulated to some, extent on the success of the first attempt last Saturday evening. In , a matter of this kind, where large numbers are interested and a certain amount Of business courtesy is necessary, it is hardly to be expected that all could fall directly into line on the first attempt. But from what was achieved it is quite evident there is a sincere desire on the part of a large majorit of both merchants and the general public, that the movement should succeed and nine o'elock closing on Saturday evenings be a established fact. It is to be hoped the ovement may not possibly be allowed to il through the in- difference or irregularit of a few in either class, thereby inflicting unnecessary hard- ship upon those who wo ld be detained on duty to -all hours on Sa urday nights.—ONE INTERESTED. • SEMI-ANNUAL MEET NO.—The semi-an- nual business meeting of the Egmondville Young People's Society, shristian Endeavor, was held on Monday ev Julye 6th, for the election of officers : d other business. Very interesting report were read, which showed the society to b in a most flourish- ing condition. The p ayer meetingri are well attended and full o interest anctprofit. A very encouraging fe ture of the past term is the increased in erest taken in the work of the society a- the young people from all parts of the cong egation. The following officers and commi tees were ap- pointed for the ensuing six maths : Presi- dent, Mr. A. D. Grant ; vice resident,Miss Jennie Muldrew ; recording ecretary, Miss Grace Elliott ; treasurer, Miss Charlotte Porter ; corresponding seere ary, Mr. D. Stevenson ; organist, Miss Annie Grace Gemmel' ; conveners of Com ittees,—Look- out, A. D. Grant ; Prayer meeting, Miss Jennie Muldrew; Social, .11, iss Cha lotte Porter. n treatment which that receive and of the comfortable home which is provided for as -them, and' several of them have referred e specially and with much feeling to Mrs. ol French's kindness to them and the Bend- y- tude which she always displays for their d- comfort, especially to the more aged and. re infirm inmates. Indeed we are sure the in - at stitution could not be under better manage- nt ment than it is, and if the feelings of any e havebeen disturbed by theparagraph in ques- tion we are sorry for it, and we are only too glad to make all possible amends. We fully endorse the following, which we take from the article in the New Era already referred to : "Everybody who has visited the Insti- tution expresses pleasure at the atten- tion paid to the inmatee, and it is admitted by all who know the" circumstances that the sick and enfeebled inmates receive the most careful and constant attention from all concerned, including the medical super- intendent and others. In fact the kind- ness of Mrs. French, particularly has been the frequent subject 'of comment here. The writer of the above paragraph overlooks the fact that many of the inmates are barely living when they reach the House, and that 15 deaths per annum is the average in the Provincial Houses of Refuge. As a matter of fact it might be stated that one. inmate has gained over 100 pounds since coming toi the house." • ANOTHER HURON Bov.—Nothing gives us more ,pleasure than to chronicle the well doing of young men who go from ola Huron to push their- fortunes elsewhere in the world. We have just heard from an- other of this grand class. Itla.Peter A. Moir, a native of the township of Uaborne, and a son of the late Mr. Peter Moir, of that townahip who has been located for some -time in Glasgow, Montana, has decided to remove from that place to Forsyth, Custer county, at which place he has secured a better position. The Record, of Glasgow, makes the following reference to his leaving that place " Profeinfor P. A. Moir, who acted as principal of our public schools for the ,past two years, and whose term his now expired, has been a most careful, dili- gent and capable teacher. Under his in- structions the school children of Glas- gow have arrived at an advanced stage of educaeion, much more so, said State Super- intendent Steere, than those of most schools within the state. In leaving Glasgow, Mr. Moir takes with him the best wishes- of his hosts of friends, and the recommendations of all those whO are cognizant of his superior qualifications as a teacher." • • M- ENS' fine laced boots, Ca toe, regular st.75 for $1.0), on Satur Dongola laced boots, razor tee, $1.2feand $1.50 on Saturday.

Thos. Glaholm received a letter yesterday from Mr. William Sloan, now en route to the Yukon. He writes from Lake' Bennett wider date of May 24th, and states that he, together with the rest of his party, compris- ing eight men altogether, expect to leave in the course of four days initheir boats. Their destination is known to one man alone, who religiously preserves the secret until such time as it is necessary to divulge it. He has led his companions to believe, how- ever, that he has discovered a bonanza. A number of miners have threatened to follow the Sloan party in order to learn where this rich strike is located, but as soon as the ice breaks in the river the latter will give their pursuers the slip. In some cases the current rushes along at the rate of 20 miles an hour. c, • FOREIGN .MISSION MEETINO.—The regular monthly meeting ol the Women's Foreign Mission Society was held in the Presby- terian church on Monday evening last. The attendance was scarcely up to ordinary mark, but the meeting proved interesting and profitable to those who were present. Promises of contributions of clothing for the society's Indian 'wards in the Northwest, were taken, and are likely to prove sufficient. Volunteer letter writers to foreign missionaries were asked for, and three ladies offered to take up this brand' of work for July, August and September. An effort will be made to secure a returned missionary to give an address at the Thank - offering meeting in October. - An excellent and interesting paper on mission work in South America was read by Mrs. M. Y. McLean. Mrs. A. D. McDonald and Mrs. L. L. McFaui are the appointed essayists for next meeting, subject—Italy. Mrs. R. Logan and Miss M. E. McLean compose the visiting committee for the next two months. Miss Cash presided at the organ ; singing led by Mrs. A. &St. • No OFFENCE INTENDED.-- e are sorry to notice from an article in the Clinton New Era of last week, that a remark of our Eg- mondrille correspondent in his notes of a few weeks ago,c7ancerning the County House of Refuge, has been taken by some iiii a re- flection upon the management of that in- stitution. We deeply regret this, as we are sure that nothing of the kind was in- tended, either by the writer or by any per- son else. We read the 'paragraph be- fore it -appeared in print, and it seem- ed to us intended simply as a joke, and we had no idea that any person would take such a statement seriously. However, as it seems some have done s , we have now_to 1 state that instead of find ng fault with, or censuring the management of the House of Refuge, we can only in ju tice, highly com- mend it and all concerned in it. From enquiries made from frequent yisi ors, inmates and others, we are justified' in eying that in so far as its management is oncerned, it is a model institution. In f ct every inmate whom we have met -speak of Mr. and Mrs. French with terms almost of affection, and all are loud in their p es of the kind FOR THE balance of this mo & Co., Seaforth, will offer a special d' Dime and Windowe, also th1soline S A HURON LADY HONORED.—The Chris- tian Endeavor convention of the world was held in' Washington, D. C., United States, this week. One of the - leading features of the convention was the Junior Rally, com- posed of representre ives from the various junior societies. For these a programme was prepared.- This programme consisted of selections in poetry or prose, contributed by representatives of the several countries. These selections were - printed in neat pamphlet form, and each selection was re- cited before the sonvention by junior En- cleavorers from the respective countries, each Endeavorer reciting the particular selection from his or her own country. This pamphlet of selections will afterwards be distributed among the various societies throughout the world, to be used in the local societies. This whole arrangement was under the control of a lady directress, who selected the persons in the different countries to prepare the selection for that country: Miss Hannah Isabella Graham, of Egmondville, was selected by this directress to prepare the selection for Canada. We may say that this directress was an entire stranger to Miss Graham, as she had neve ' heard of her until she received frail her a c mmunication asking her to prepare the selection for Can- ada. This is, certainly, a 'cry marked tribute to Miss Graham's lit rary ability, and shows that her reputati n has vastly extended merely local unds. Miss Graham's contribution, which is in ooetry, 1:4 clltitWd " Love of country " " danada, —No countey like our own d ar land." It is a most patriotic contribut on, and does coedit alike to her head and heart. The following are the verses : 1 1 No country's like oui own dear 1 nd, Where rpeghty torrents flow ; Her fair form covered from the last, By jewelled shield of snow. Where loan you find such happy homei ? Such ealm sweet eventide ? The rngged beauty that adorns Her lofty mountain sides ? No country's -like our own dear I nd For quiet Sabbath rest, No epst on earth more loved oi; eaven, And nonp so richly blest. _,j Fair, virgin land of Canada, Long may thy banners wave, Above a free and loyal race That vice can ne'er enslave. May temperance, truth and righteousness Go forward hand in hand, And Christ, the King, be glorified By our Endeavor band. No country's like oukiwn dear land, God grant her sons may be Worthy the broad and greatdomain That rolls from sea to sea ' _ OBITUARY.—Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Luke Fortune, of the Huron road east, Tuckersmith, on account of the cleat! of their youngest daughter, Miss Mar Emma. This sad event took place on Frid y last. She was nearly 20 years of age, and was, until last fall, a robust, healt y person, but she caught a severe ecd1d, which settled on her lungs and ulti- mate y turned into consumption. She was a pu il of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute, and as a remarkably bright, amiable and cleve young lady. Her early demise is a sever affliction to her parents and friends. —We have also to chronicle another deatt, that of Mr. William McCulloch, of North Main street, one of Seaforth's most respected residents. He had been ill for several months, but he was not thought to be in la critical condition until very recently. He Wair68 years of age. He *as one of the pioneer settlers of the township of McKil- lop. A few years ago he sold his property there and removed to Seaforth to enjoy at leisure the fruits of a life of industry and frugality. He was an honest, upright, good living man, and although of a retiring dis- position, his kindly nature and Strict sense of integrity secured him the esteem of all who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaint- ance. He was a Presbyterian in religion, and a Liberal in politics. • 2_ _ THE LACROSSE MATCH.-- The lacrosse match on the recreation grounds, on Tues- day evening last, between the Excelsiors, of Mitchell, and the Beavers, of this town, in the nitermediate- championship series, prov- ed most exciting and interesting. The ball was faeed off shortly after, six o'clock and da from the very beginning every player put Sm forth his best endeavors. Seaforth scored the first goal, but the play was pretty even and Mitchell soon tied the score. During the next game Mitchell seemed to have the beat of the play and succeeded in ecoring a second goal. From this out the game was more in favor of our boys although the vis- itors made a hard fight to retain their ground. The fourth goal was scored by Seaforth but was disallowed by the referee ; and, to make it more certain, the Beavers very shortly scored again, and followed up with two more, thus winning the game by four goals to two. The Mitchell team were accompanied to town by a large number of their aelmirers, who were confident of a victory for their team. But they were doomed to be disappointed. Although the Mitchell boys play a good game, the Beavers play eonsiderably better and more scientific la- crosse. Our boys are just a little slow at times, but they all play a 'steady, strong combination game, which has this season won them every patch. They plar at Brighten Wednesday next. THE FARMERS' EocitsioN.--The South Huron Farmers' titute have arranged with the Grand T unk authorities for an excursion to the G elph Agricultural Col- lege and Ex rime tal Farm, on Friday, July 17th. special train will leave the following stations oh that day at the hours named : Centralia; at 7:10 to m. ; Exeter, 7:22 ; Hensel!, 7:35 ; KiNpen, 1:42 Beuce- field, 7:59 ; Clinton, 8:2 ; Seaford:, 8;35 ; Dublin, 8:50 ; Mitchell, 9:00 ; Sebringville, 9:15, and Stratford at 9:30 o'clock.

We see chronicled 4 similar from Elgin county, near St. Thomas. lespateh from that place, dated July 3 :ays : Some miscreant perpetrated a bolical crime yesterday. When Dugalcl Campbell, who lives My Oneida road, 4 Southwold station, went to get his ate he found ten cows and two horses violen sick. In , a few minutes two cows ei dead. Mr. Campbell telegrephed for Edmunds, V. S., of St. Thomas, and atter on examination, fohnd that enima'ls had been poisoned by eating p green. A strip of ground in the past field, six feet long and two feet in wicl Was found covered with the'.potson. Campbell has had no paris green on arm for years, and the work was eviden done by enemies. Three other cattle die, but Dr. Edmonds thinks ' he can s the rest. The two cows that died w worth $200. Crown Attorney Donahue ' en made acquainted with the facts, rong efforts will be mede to bring guilty parties to justice. • . . AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —A union me . egg of the officers and directors of the So Huron andeTockersmith branch agricultu Ocieties was held at Hodgins' hotel, H ell, on Monday last, for the purpose making arrangements for the fall show h he transaction of other business. As lave forMerly stated, these two societ 4ve amalgamated this year for the phrp f holding a union exhibition. The exhi tion will, therefore, be held at Seaforth, Thursday and Friday, September 24th a 5tli. The list was thoroughly revised, a liberal sum is to be offered in premiu There will also be other features add which will make the exhibition one of t est and most attractive in the county. was also decided by the riding directors old a show for fat stock an poultry, t time as last year. The date fin. this sh was fixed for Friday, December 4th, t eing the Friday before the provincial sh t Guelph. The show will be held at pith xeter or Hensel'. This will he decided future meeting of the board. The fi how of this kind under the auepices of t ociety, was helelast year, and although as not as marked a success as a show his kind should be, in a fine county li HU n where the fattening of stock has on been a specialty with our farmers, the oci ty consider that there were reasons for hi one being the short notice of the show, nal have consequently decided to make an- th r effort, which we hope will be more ue essful, and we trust their efforts will be ee nded by the stockmen of the county nd other§ interested, ' • S.-- das- arm hip one A rd; dia- D. ear ck, tly ere Dr. the 1 the aria ure th, r. the tly will ere has end the et- uth ral a en- s of nd we ies pse bi- on 2 nd a rhs. ed, he It to he ow his .b ow a er at 61. rst his 8 it of ke 1 a a CAL BRIEFS.—The Mitchell -Recorder of ;1 st week says " The bowling club sent a Couple of rinks to Seaforth on Dominion D:y to playja friendly game with the club that town.

At 9 a. m. the calithurnpians ap- peared and created no Bunn. amount of amusement for old as well as young. The prizes were won by Thomas Blair and A. Woods. Next came the long talked of foot ball match between the Varna " Stars" and Bayfield " Lakesides." At the first it appeared as though the Lakesides would stand a poor chance of winning, as the Stars scored three goals in short order. However, it was then the Lakesides got warmed up, and four goals were scored by them in rapid succeesion, giving them the victory. Good nature prevailed on both sides, and the Stars took their defeat with good grace. The game *as witnessed by a very large crowd, and was most interesting and free from rough play. Mr. A. E. Thomson officiated as referee, with satisfac- tion. A base ballimatch between the Chan- t/Wpm; of Kettle Point, and the Orients, of Zurich, was to have followed, but owing t the Indians being three men short and u able to obtain others, the game was off. . T ie was very disappointing to the Zurich p eyers, they being ready and keen for a g me.
