Eomosevieee NOTES. -10n Friday last
one of those pleasant occurrrnces which seem
to break the monotony ofk a teacher's life,
took place in oer school— The papils had
prepaaed a short programme, and, after it
had been very creditably ienderedswith Mr.
G. E. Jack -son as chairman, four of the pu-
pile stepped to the front, read an address
expressive of the most kindly sentiments of
regard for the teachers, and presented each
with a nice Christmas hex, as a token of
loving appreciation and esteem. Ite with a
thoughtful act of the pupils, and will
strengthen the bond of affection which has
always existed between them and their
teachers.—Mr. John Waugh and his sister,
Mrs. Lambert, of Reed City, Michigan,
have been visiting relatives in the village
during the week.—The announcement of the
death of Mr. Robert Elgie, of Tuckersmith,
last week, was received here with much re-
gret. Fog several years he was an esteemed
resident of this village, and will long be
kindly remembered by our people.—Our an-
nual seh,00l meeting will be held on Wed-
nesday next. Mr. D. Moore is the retiring
trustee.—Miss Jennie Muldrew, one of our
most estimable young ladies, was married
on Wednesday, to Mr. Robert Scarlett,
well-known prosperous yoUng farmer of Mc-
Killop township. The ceremony took place
at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs.
John Muldrew, in the Presence of the more
immediate relatives of the eontracting par-
ties and a few friends, Rev. Mr. Shaw offi-
ciating. We heartily congratulate Mr.
SCarlett on his good fortune and discretion
in selecting a life partner, in every way so
evell .fitted to be a true helper. The mar-
riage took place at high noon, and, after
the tempting delicacies of a most elegantly
prepared dinner had, been discussed and a
short time spent in enjoying the social
amenities of such occasion*. Mr. and Mrs.
Sce.rlett took the three o'clock train tor Tor-
onto, where they will spend a few days be-
fore settling down -to life's more exacting
realities on Mr. Scarlett's beautiful farm in
•Manillop.—Mr. and Mrs. George Sproate
and Mr. and Mee. Anderson, of Dakota, ar-
rived on a visit to relatives here last week,
Mrs. Anderson is Mr, Sproat's youngest
aister, so that at present there is a reunion
of all the members of the familied of the late
Mr. and Mrs. George Sproat.—Rev. Mr.
Shaw tied two nuptial knots on Wednesday
and, as they were several miles apart, he
had to move expeditiously but such per-
formances are very stirnulaling.—Mirs A.da
McKinley arrived home from her first term
at Toronto University, on Friday last.—Mr.
John S. Muldrew of Knox college, and Mr.
W. Muldrew, of 'WOodstook, came up on
Tuesday to attend their sister's wedding,
and spend Christmas at the parental home.
Paneszemerrosa—On Wednesday evening,
the teaohers of our public sehool and their
friends passed some pleasant hours at the
residence of the principal, Mr.L.L. McFaul.
We announced some time ago the resignse
tion of Miss Elder, who haa for several
years been one of our efficient public sehool
staff. On Wednesday evening, her fellow
teachers gave expression to their esteem
and kindly regard for their colleague in a
feelingly worded address, read by Blra.Coul-
ter, and the presentation of an exquisite five
o'clock tea service, made on behalf of the
staff, by Mr. McFaul. Dr. Mackay replied
on Miss Elder's fiehall in some appropriate
and happy remarks. Addresses were made
by others present, including the principal;
whose remarks embodied a high tribute to
Miss Elder's teaching ability and a reference
to the great esteem the years of pleasant
aasociation had engendered for her among
her colleagues. The singing of the talented
daughter of the house and others was much
appreciated, and a most pleasant and social
evening was spent.
SENTENCED. —On Saturday morning last,
Judge Masson gave judgment in the charge
of manslaughter against Fred Elliott, of
Bayfield, Which was tried before him a few
daya previously, at Goderich. Mr. Proud -
foot, tor the defence, offered a number of
objections, on which he asked the court to
reserve a case for appeal, and presented two
petitions, one by citizens of Bayfield and
vicinity; and one by the jery which tried
the case. Hia Honor declined to reserve a
case, considering the objections scarcely
arguable, but would give the petitions due
weight. He then addressed the prisoner,
pointing out the seriousness of the crime,
and sentenced him to five years with hard
lab,or in Kingston Penitentiary. Mr.Prond-
feet gives notice that hp will move for a
new trial. This is a peculiarly sad case,and
a;very great deal of sympathy is felt for the
relatives and friends of the unfortunate
young man. His fate and that of his de-
ceased brother should serve as a terrible
warning to other young men who are in-
clined to live fast and intemperate lives.

DISPOSAL OF THE J {MILES FUNDS.—At the
lastmeeting of the directors of the Tucker -
smith Branch Agricultural Society, the fol-
lowing resolution was passed : Moved by
Robert Wilson, seconded by James Smith,
that the directors of the Tuckersmith
l3ranch Agricultural Society would respect-
fully request the town council of the town
of Seaforth, austodians of the jubilee fund,
to submit to a vide of the electors the dis-
posal of the said jubilee fund in accordance
with the resolution of the jnbilee committee
when handing over the funds to the _custody
of the town council, of Seaforth. The dir-
ectors of the Tuckersmith Branch Agricul-
tural Society, in view of the loss by fire of
the agricultural hall, would urge 'on the
town council the advisability of devoting
the said jubilee fund in aid of the erection
of a new and commodious building, the
plans to be approved of by the town council,
of Seaforth, and that a vote of the electors
be taken with this object in vieSvain the 3rd
day of January, 1898.—Timeres E. HAYS,
Secretary.
ANNIVESARY Sertvioes.—The anniver-
sary services in connection with the Presby-
terian church on Sunda,y and Monday last,
were' indeed a greed and gratifying success.
At the Sunday ranrning service, Rev. J. W.
McMillan, of Lindsay, and a former assist --
ant to Rev. Dr. McDonald, preached to a
large nongregation, on sacrifice and its re-
wards, and in the evening the pulpit was
again taken by Mr. McMillan, when he had
for his theme God's magnitude and infinity
as displayed in the heavenly bodies, and
thein influence on man. The church in the
evening was filled to overflowing and even
advantageous standing room was at a pre.
mium. Mr. McMillan is a fluent and elo-
quent epeaker, with a wonderful flow of
choice and- forcible language. Both dis-
courses were listeued to with much appre.
ciation and profit by the large gatherings,
whose only regret was that the time passed,
so quickly. On Monday evening a tea was
served in the basement of the chinch, fol-
lowed by an, intellectual and musical treat
in the audience room. Seldom if ever heals
larger crowd attended a tea meeting in the
church, and during the jsntire time refresh-
ments were being served; the basement was
uncomfortably crowded. -When the pastor,
Rev. Dr. McDonald, toolt the chair in the
body of the church, the seating capacity of
the building was taxed to its utrnost. The
particularly interesting feature of this meet-
ing was the gathering together of the avail-
able students who had acted as assistants to
Dr. McDouald in years past. Those present
were Rev. W. J. Clark, London ; Rev. J.
W. MeMillan, Lindsay ; Rev. J. Wilson,
Niagara Falls South, and Rev. H. A. Mc-
Pherson, Acton. It was expected that Rev.
D. Guthrie, of Walkerton, would also be
present, but he was unavoidably detained at
the last moment. Rev. Mr. MePheraon had
as his subject the colleges of the church,and
made a etrong plea for college education, as
it fitted a man more thoroughly for his life
work. Mr. Wilson eloquently pleaded the '
cause of foreign missions ; Mr. MoMillan
spoke on home missions, and in the course
of Ms address gave many humorous ske hes
of the life of a missionary in British Co am-
bia, as well as much information as to the
kind of life led, and the classes. of people
among whom the missionaries have to work.
" The life and work of the church," was the
subject to which Mr. Clark devoted his at-
tention. His appeal to live a high. and no-
ble life, and his picturing of the beautiee of
such were moat pathetically and eloquently
worded. , The_choir on both days added not
a little id the pleasure of the audiences by
their choice selections, and in addition, on
Monday evening, Miss Grace McFaul ren-
dered three excellent solos. At the close of
the meeting a hearty vote of thanks was
moved by Rev. P. Musgrave and seconded
bY Rev. S. Bond, thanking the speakers for
their excellent addreeses, the choir for their
pleasing musical selections, and the ladies
for the botintiful supper theY had provided.
And thus concluded one of the pleasantest
and niost profitable and successful anniver-
saries in the history of the church. On Tues-
day evening a social was held for the Sun-
day school scholars; where a large turnout of
the children enjoyed a social hour. The
collections on Sunday amounted to $102,and
the proceeds of the tea meeting $156.

DEATH OF FRANK ANDERSON. — It
was a sad shock to many in town on Wed-
nesday afternoon, to'learn of the death of
Mr. Frank C. Anderson, which occurred at
his residence on West William street,about
.four O'clock. It was well-known that he
had heen confined to his bed for a couple of
weeks, but it was not considered by any
that his illness was of such a serious nature.
He was taken ill about three weeks ago and
after a time the doctors pronounced his ill-
ness to be typhoid fever. On Tuesday night
he was taken with severe pains in the side,
and a re -occurrence of the same trouble on
Wednesday proved too much tor his in- ,
feebled constitution and he passed speedily
away. Mr. Anderson, or Frenk as he was
familiarly called, was 4 steady, industrious
young man and a faeorite with all. He
was just in the prime -of life, being only 32
years of age, and leaves a young wife, a
daughter of Mr. S. Barton, to whom he had
only been married four years, and a young
child. To the grief stricken wife and friends
will be extended the sincerest sympathy of
a wide circle of friends. The remains will
be laid to rest in- the Maitlandbank ceme-
tery on Saturday afternoon, the services
being at 2 30 and the funeral procession will
leave his late residence at 3 o'clock.

DANGERS OF A,-;ETYLENE. —The American
Druggist and Pharmaceutical Record, pub-
lished in Chicago, has the following para-
graph in reference to acetylene gas : The
FecAlosive Department of the Briti-1
6 it ome Office " has eecently had under
consideration4The question of the restric-
tions to be applied to the manufacture and
keeping of acetylene gas, and has conducted
various experiments with the object of gain-
ing information on this matter. The re-
sults show conclusively that acetylene gas
per se, when under a pressure of something
less than twootmospheres, is violently ex-
plosive ; whereas at a pressure of less than
one and a -half atmospheres it appeari to be
reasonably free Worn liability to exPlosion,
provided it is not admixed with oxygen or
atmospheric air. For commercial and
practical purposes it is sufficient to allow a
pressure of 20 inches of water above that of
the atmosphere, (i. e., roughly, about one
and one -twentieth atmospheree), and it is
accordingly proposed to draw the safety
line at this point, and to declare acetylene,
when subject to a higher pressure, to be an
" explosive '1 within the meaning of the
Explosives Act, of 1875. In France and
Germany the authorities have fixed the
limit of danger at one and a -half to one and
one-tenth atmospheres respectively, and
have imposed prohibitions or restrictions on
the keeping or manufacture of the gas when
it is at a higher pressure.

AN INTERESTING DECISIoN.—The decis-
ion given by Judge Doyle in the cake of
Hannah vs. McDonald and the Holmesville
creamery, will bei of interest to a number of
people in this vicinity: In 1894, John
Hannah was running three creameries, one
at Holmesvilleeone at Seaforth and one at
Kirkton. Having fallen in arrears to his
Holmesville patrons they pressed for pay-.
ment, and ire default of payment he trans-
ferred, in trust, to -D. D. Wilton, at Sea -
forth, for the Helmesville patrons some
-11,000 pounds of butter. • This transfer took
place on August 4th; of that year, and on
account of the transfer, the Holcnesville
patrons received 70 per cent. of their claims,
while when the assignment was made by
Mr. Hannah, on October 3rd, the other
creditors only received about 6 per cent. of
their claims. This suit against McDonald,
one of the patrons of the Holmesville cream-
ery, was then entered as a test case to des
aide whether or not the transfer of the belie
ter was lawful and whether or not the-
Holmesville creditors would have to share
alike with the other creditors. The judge,
in his deeision, has found that;by this trans-
fer,the,Holmesville creditors were receiving
a preferment over the other creditors and
that as the transfer was made within sixty
days before the Assignment, and as Hannah
,knew himself to be in insolvent circum-
stances at the time, that the transfer is in-
valid. This decision will have the effect of •
making the Holmesville patrons disgorge to
the benefit of the other creditors.
•
overlooked, with the result that he was fre-
quently elected to a seat, on the township
council board and on which he served for
some 9 years with marked strums. He was
also for man years a director of the Mc-
Killop Fire uranoe ComPany and of the
agrieultural associetion of his own township.
In politics, Mr. 4gie weal from principle
and early association a Conservative, al-
though never an extreme Partizan. In re-
ligion he was a Presbyterian and a member
of St. Andrew" church, Kippen. In both
religion and politics he was extremely toler-
ant and recognized that honesty, and even
goodness could be possessed by those who
might differ from him in matters of con-
science and publio dutye After retiring
from active work on the old homestead in
1887, he resided in Egmoodville for some
four years,when he again returned to a farm
on the 2nd concession of Teckersmith, near
Hensall, which he had previously purchased
and on whicte the later years of his life have
been passed, and where he died surrounded
by his wife,who still survives him,and all of
his devoted family, with! the exception of
his two daughters residing id Manitoba. His
genial and amiable disposition made him n
kind husband and a loving and affectionate
father, and endeared him to a large circle of
friends and neigbors, many of whom gather-
ed at his funeral on Friday last to testify
their esteein and to express their regard and
affeotion for his bereaved relatives and
friends. The funeral was one of the largest
ever held in the neighborhood and notwith-
standing the unfavorable day, and the ten
miles whioh had to be traversed to Baird's
cemetery, in Stanley, scarcely a team broke
from the long procession until the cemetery
was reached and' the last rites wereeadly
performed. [Thus there is added one more
name to that long line of noble but departed
pioneers and" early settlers, whose memories
must be ever cherished and linked, not only
with the triale and hardships of a new
country, but 'also with the progress and the
SUCCORS which has been achieved within the
lastfifty years.
BAD WALKING.—By the pasting of the
cow byelaw preventing our -streets from be-
ing turned into a cow pasture, we took a
step towards higher civilization. There are
many more which might be taken but the
most pressing one et this time of the year is
the matter of having our sidewalks in a
walkable condition, If the town authorities
do not consider that the time is yet ripe for
the passing of legislation compelling people
to keep the walks in front of their premises
free from snow, they have the means at
hand whereby they can do the next beat
thing. Lying hidden away in some out of
the way corner is a snow plow, the property
of the town. Why, not unearth it and put
it into the use for which it was created)?
True the walks have not yet got into a very
deplorable condition, but by using it be-
fore the snow gets deep they will be kept in
good condition and will be easier kept so.On
the main streets the• snow has now got
pretty well packed and one person can walk
along with comparative comfort, bat on the
back streets it is like following a goose trail
to walk on the side walks. In former years
it has been the custom to bring 'on the snow
plow after a big storm and in attempting to
follow the path it leaves, reminds one of
dodging in and out 'of therold style rail
fence, with the added difficelty of a slippery
ridge that would trouble a rope walker to
navigate on. Trot outlyour plow gentlemen
and let us have clean sidewalks and good
walking. Since the above wail in type the
plow has been unearthed and has been do-
ing fairly. good service. Jnet keep it going
only start a little earlier in the morning.

MOCK PARLIAMENT.—The mock parlia-
ment, in connection with the Literary and
Debating club, Met in sessipn, for the first
time on Tuesday evening last, and a good
sized crowd was present to witness the open-
ing cereinonies. Mr. John 'Rankin, acting
in the capacity of GovernorsGeneral, read
the speech from the thone, outlining the
general policy of the Government. Mr. 0.
L. Schmidt was elected spea er.• The adop-
tion of the speech was move by Mr. Joseph
Abel, in an eloquent and 1 comprehensive
speech, while Mr. J. C. Gre g seconded the
motion. The ball was then, started rolling
by Mr. A. Cosens, leader of the Opposition,
in a general onslaught against the Govern-
ment's policy, at the same time making
several grave charges of corruption against a
couple of the ministers. The Government
position was thoroughly justified by Messrs.
Neelin, Macdonald i and Killoran, while
Messrs. Watson, McLeod and Scott, of the
Opposition, backed up the charges made
by their leader. When the motion for an
adjournment was made, the debate on the
speech was not finished, and it, evill be con-
tinued at the next session, Which will be
held on Tuesday evening next. The princi-
pal measures which the Government propose
to bring forward are, extending the frau-
thhise to woulen, the erection of fortifications
'at Bayfield, the annexation of the United
States to Canada, the preventing of the
bringing in of waifs from the old land, the
imposition of an export duty on saw loge,
the deepening of the canals, the prohibition
of thedmportation of Milwaukee beer into
Canada, and measures for the furtherance of
the settlement of all national disputes by
arbitration. ,

THE LATE MR. ROBERT ELGtE.,Many of
the friends and acquaintances of Mr. Elgie
will regret to hear of his death which
took place on Wednesday, the 15th
inst., at his late retidence on lot 10, on the
2nd concession, of Tuckersmith. The de-
ceased was bord in Yorkshire, England, in
March, 1823, and was at the time of his
death in his 75th year. At the age of 24
years, he emigrated from his native shire to
Canada and for some time after his arrival
drove the mail coach of those days between
Toronto and Streetsville. On leaving this
employment he rented a large farm near the
latter village and was married to his first
wife, Elizabeth Wilds, in March 27th, 1850.
She died on October 29th, 1857, leaving a
family of two of sons and one daughter,Wil-
liam the eldest, now residing on the 9th con-
!
cession of Tuckersmith, and George, of the
township of Stanley, and Lizzie, Mrs. Shaw,
deceased. In the year 1858, Mr. Elgie,with
his family, came to the township cif Tucker -
smith where he had previously purchased
two hundred acres of land, on the 2nd and
3rd concession, and have been well known
since as the "Elgie farms." In June of the
same year, he married the only daughter of
the late James Macdonald, of the same
township, and sister of Dr. Macdonald,
M. P., of Wingham, and of the late J. P.
Macdonald and James Macdonald, of Strat-
ford. The family sutviving of this marriage
are: Robert, on one of the farms of the old
homestead, and John, of the Sauble line, of
Stanley-, and Maggie, Mrs. John Bulls, and
Jessie, Mrs. John Chesney, both of Cypress
River, Manitoba. Very' few of the old resi-
dents of the township were better known or
more highly esteemed than the subject of
this sketch. His well -known integrity and
enterprise inspired all who enjoyed his ac-
quaintance, with the utmost confidence. -
And his friends and neighbors were
ever ready to confer, nn him any posi.
tion of honor, trust or responsibility ti hich
he might be induced to accept. He took
more than common inteeest in everything
pertaining to the progress. and advancement
of the township in which he lived and a
pride sechnd only to that which he took in
his thoroughly and well cultivated farms.
To the credit of his ncighbors and the town-
' ship generally, these qualifications were not

VIOLIN RECITAL. —The recital, given in •
the rooms of the Young Men's Christian
Association oe Friday evening by the pupils
of Miss Bennoith's violin dam was a success
in every particular. As the night, unfor-
tunately,was a stormy one, there was not as
large an ;attendance as there would other-
wise have- been, but those present were de-
lighted with the progress made by the
pupils, under Mist' Bennoch's teaching. M any
in the class have only received instructions
on the violin the three years Miss Bennoch
has been in Seaforth, while others have been
but two yeara. Considering the time, the
pupils have been receiving iustructions, and
the difficult music they are so ably prePared
to render, we cannot but give the highest
praise to Miss Bennoele's teaching. All in-
terested in the class, and particularly the
pupils, must regret very much that Mies
Bennoch does not intend resumiug her clam
after the Christmas holidays. Probably the
most Pleasing recognition of Miss Bennoch's
patience and carte, with her class, might be
shown her by them, in their further pur-
suit of the study, for which she has laid so
excellent a foundation. On the programme
there were four class numbers, and while
All were rendered in good styleespecial men-
tion might be made of one, an overture
