HE WAS Too Swum—About t half -past
seven Monday evening Broadfoot's whistle
blew for a fire, with such vociferouaness
that people scurried down the street from
all directions, and the firemen were on
hand, but it was only another false alarm.
It was different from other false alarms,
however, as it could be accounted for, and
it proved to be somewhat of a joke on
Electrician Ingram. Mr. Togram was going
to see if the alarin was worlcing, and dis-
patched his aasistant to " Little 'Scotland "
to ring up an alarm, while he made for the
fire hall to switoh off things to prevent a
public alarm. Although the boy had by far
the longest distance to go, he reaohed his
destination first, and performed hie Part
promptly, too promptly as it proved, for
the alarm was working in good shape, and
Mr. ingram enly got to the hre hall in time
to hear the alarm go off, and to inforin the
firemen thatethere was no fire. Mr. Ingrain
should go bite training as a sprinter if he
wishes to keep pace with his fleet assistant,

GOOD HORSE FLEs1L—The London Free
Press of a few days ago has the following :
"One of the most notable transactions in
Canadian horseflesh has just been completed
between Mk. Adam Beck, Master of the
London Hunnand the Duke of Marlborough.
The horse Longshot, the hunter which was
a prize winner at the New York horse show:
and also at Toronto, ham been purchased by
His Grace the Duke,and will be expressed to
New York at once,accompanied by a groom,
thence to be taken to England by steamihip.
The price paid was private, but was a very
high one. Longshot is a bay gelding, and
was bredton a farm neat Luean. Mr. Beck
hae just purchased his dam, and his full
sisters, one -year-old, , three-year-old and
four-year-old. Longshot is a beautiful ani-
mal, and as a hunter he will doubtless rank
with the best in the Duke's stable of Irish
hunters to which he will be added. He is
Edinburgh, a son of Longfellow.' We may
mention that the sire of Longshot, Edin-
burgh, is now owned by Mr.James Berry, of
Tuckersmith, and the dam, which was re-
cently .puichased, belonged to Mr. Frank
Davis, of Biddulph, near Centralia, in this
iSUDDEN OP,ATH.—A terribly sudden
death took place in this town on Saturday
evening last. Mr. John Murray, second
eon of Mre. John Murray, Goderich street,
left the house abont seven o'clock, with the
intention of going to ehe skating rink. On
the street he met with another young
man, and they walked down together. On
the way they went into Dick's hotel, Mr.
Murray saying he wanted to go to the water
closet. He hung his coat and skates in the
hall and went out to the closenhis companion
waiting for him in the sitting room until his
return.. Not coming back as soon as ex-
pected, the. young man went to the rink.
Nothing more west thought about the mat-
ter by any person until about an hour after-
wards, when soine person belonging to the
hotel who had gone out behind, found the
poor fellow lying on his face in the snow,
just as if he had fallen as he was coming
out of the closet door. He was at once
taken into the house, when it was found he
was insensible. Medical aid was at once
sent tor and everything poesible was doneto
revive him, but consciousness never retutn-
ed and he died about one e'clook. The de-
ceased was A young man twenty-nine years
of age. So far as us known he was in the
enjoymeat of the best of health. He was
around town as usual on Saturday night,
just before going out ate a hearty',
meal and seemed to be in his smug health
and spirits. It was a terribly sudden call,
and shows h6w true it is that in the midst
of life we are in death." Mr. Murray was:a
genial, popular yonng man and was a uni-
versal favorite with all who knew him. He
was a clever musician, and has frequently
appeared at entertainments both in town
And country. The last time he sang in
public was at the Farmers' Institute at
Brucefield a few weeks ago. His sudden
death is a severe blow to his mother and
other relatives, who will have the sincere
sympathy • of the public generally. The
cause of death was apoplexy of the luugs.
The funeral on Tuesday to the Maitland -
bank cemetery, was one of the largest avec
seen in Seaforth, and testified the respect
held for the deceased and the profound
sympathy whiph is felt for the family. He
was a member of ,the town band, also, of
Lady Nairn Camp, Sons of Scotland, And
the members of both organizations attended
in a body and marched in the procession,
preceding „the hearse to the cemetery.

Surmise- SCHOOL TEACHERS' MEETING.—
The annual teachers' meeting for the elec-
tion of officers and other business in (mimeo -
tion with the Presbyterian church 'Sabbath
school in this town, was held on Friday

and enjoyable affair. About sixty persons
were preeent, including Rev. Dr. McDonald
and Mrs. McDonald, the officers and teach-
ers, and a few invited friends. Tables had
been eat id the basement of the church, and
at 7 o'clock all sat down to an ample and
luxuriant supper provided by the teaohers
end, officers. After enjoying this sociable
enthrtainment for upwards of an hour, the
business part of the meeting was opened by
devotional exercise* The secretary' and
treasurer read reports of the past year's
work. The total number of names on the
_roll, including all classes, was 277 ; average
attendance, 181 ; total number of teachers
and officers, 24 ; total amount of money

Mr. J. Rankin was re-eleoted secretary, and
Miss M. E. McLean, treasurer. All the

from the superintendent and one or two
musical selections, the chairman, Rev. Dr.
McDonald, dosed the meeting with prayer.

DOWN BY THE ,SEA. —Rev. Joseph McCoy,
formerly pastor of Egmondville church, but
for some years pastor of St. Andrew's
church, Chatham, New Brunswick, is still,
we are pleased to learn, doing a good work
there. We notice from a report of the
annual meeting of his congregation, which
appeared in the Chatham Advance, the fol-
lowing : " The trustees' report showed that
all the expenses for the year had been duly
met, and a balance carried forward to the
credit of the present year ; Also that the
sum of $475 had been raised during the
year by -the ladies' aid, to be added to $320
already in the bank, as a fund for the im-
provement and renovation • of the church
property. The session reported that the con-
tributions of the congregation for last year,
to the,eschemes of the church, had been
larger than for any year for the lost five,
notwithstanding the withdrawal of many
members to join the newly -formed congre-
gation, at Loggieville." We also notice in
the same paper, the following relating to
Miss McCoy : A number of the young
ladies of St. Andrew'i church, Chatham,
are engaged in the laudable work of raising
money, by different schemes devised by
themselves, for what is known as the
talent fund. In other words, they employ
their talents in the direction. indicated.
They may sew, sell books, give parties or
concerts, or engage in any other proper
work for raising funds. Miss Queenie Mc-
Coy, who is herself a sweet singer, organ-
ized a concert in aid of the talent fund,
which was eiven on Friday evening. It was
well attended and very successful. At the
close ice-cream, cake and coffee were
passed around, tickets for which had been
*sold during the concert intermission. Miss
McCoy's " talent " gained other talents for
the Kirk to the amount of $15."

gates and members were present, upwards
of one hundred taking part in the meeting.
The meeting was opened by E. L. Farnham,

took up the morning session. Dinner was
served by the Clinton sisters in an adjoining
hall. At the afternoon'session reporte from
the various lodges were giyen, most of the
lodges reporting gain since the last disttict
meeting. A pleasant feature of the day
was the presence of the Grand Chief Tem-
plar, Brother Brookenshire, of, Wingham,
who gave an address on the temperance
work. The comieg Dominion plebiecite was
taken ophnd thotoughly discussed by quite
a number id the delegates. At the last dis-
trict lodge, held in Blytb in Ootober, it Wail
decided that a prize of six badges ' costing
not more than $5, be given to,the lodge
bringing in the largest number of new mem-
bers between that date and the date of the
Clinton meeting. The prize was awarded
to Maitland lodge, Manchester, who took in
thirty-three new members in the quarter..
The next place of meeting is to be Londes-
boro, in May, the date to be settled by the
executive committee. A very hearty vote
of thanke was tendered the Clinton sisters
and brothers for the kind manner in which
they entertained the delegates. An inter-
esting programme was then rendered, con-
sisting of music and recitations.

A WONDERFUL ENTERTAINMENT COMING
TO SEAEORTH. —It is not often that the peo-
ple of Seaforth have the opportunity of see-
. ing such a wonderful entertainment as that
which will be offered to them on March 2nd
and 3rd. That moist marvellous invention,
the " Cinematogrephe," which was the
greatest' attraotiossi, and created so much
wonder at the last Toronto Fair, and which
has been delighting so rnany thousands in
Toronto and other western towns for the
past three months, will be at Cardno's hall
for two nights only, on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, March 2n'd and 3rd. It is impos-
sible to properly describe the wonderful en -
but imagine yourself taking a tour in a
couple of hours to England, Franco, Spain,
Italy, Germany and other parts of the
world, and actually seeing things occurring
exaotiy as though youe were on the spot
looking at them, People and vehicles pass- ,
ing along. the streets of London- or Parise!
bum,' and street oars running, people rid -1
ing biopics and on horsebaolc, all moving
naturally life size, aoldiers drilling and
marching, cavalry charging, artillery firing;
the ocean waves rolling, people bathing;
buildings falling, processions', trains arrivn
ing and the Passengers alighting, aud many
other amusing and entertaining scenes, and
you have some idea of what the cinematot
graphe will show you, as if everyone yod
see were alive and actually in front of you.
It has been opoken of by the press, and
everyone who has seen it, as something
marvellous, and those who do not see tt
now, will miss the sight of a life -time. It
providem au interesting and novel entettain-
ment lasting over an hour, thirty scenes be-
ing given, and those who wish can see the
in
two or three times over, as most of the e
who patronize it frequently do. -The cin, -
matographe is under the management of H.
j. Hill, manager of de Toronto Industrial
Fair, which is a guarantee of its excellence.
It is the latest invention of the kind in the
world, is the only one on exhibition in Can-
ada, and is much superior to the viteseoPe,
kinopticon,. phantoscope and other inven-
tions of a similiar nature. Keep in mind
the dates, March lind and 3rd. 1

GOOD CATTLE. —Mr. Thomas McLean, of
Luoknow, purchaeed a car load of very fine
cattle in this vicinity last week. He got
four head from Mr. Wm. Rinn, four from
Mr. Charles Lowrie two from lir. Charles

derson. They were a very fine lot and
brought four cents per pound. Those he
purchased from Mr. R'inn were clehorned.
Mr. McLean says he has had a great deal of
experience in buying and shipping cattle,
and he thinki that those dehorned should
bring at least a quarter of a cent a pound
more than those with the horns on, as they
are usually, that much better. Theta is,
also, a very considerable saving in feeding
them.
