' • 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, DIED IN DAKOTA.—We learn with regret of the death at Tyner, North Dakoka, of Mrs. James Manson: wife of Mr. James Manson, son of Mr. David Manson, of Eg- mondville.

BROADFOOT, Box & Co. 1619-8 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 evening last, and .proved a very pleasant 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 contributed, $150.29, of which 57.82 was for missions. There are about 900 volumes in the library. Messrs. D. D. Wilson and R. Lumeden were re-elected superintendent and assistant superintendent reepectively. Mr. J. Rankin was re-eleoted secretary, and Miss M. E. McLean, treasurer. All the other officers, with one or two exceptions, were also re-elected. After a short address 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." • DISTRICT MEETING. —The winter meeting of District Lodge No. 24, independent Order of Good Templars was held' in Clin- ton on Friday, January and although at was a very stormy day and the roads very heavyean unusually large number of dele- gates and members were present, upwards of one hundred taking part in the meeting.

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.

Ilouston in June last, and it was then scarcely a month old. It was of the Tamworth breed.
