An Eagle In Seaforth,
Last Sattivday• afternoon about 4 o'clock, a large
eagle was seen hovering over the town building.
Although at a considerable height it was plainly
evident that it had ite eye on something in the im-
mediate vicinity. After making a great many circles
and manouvers in the air it osme down with a
scream, Imola as an eagle only can give, and alighted
on the large bronze sign of Pickard'a. It was at first
thought that jealousy was its motive as the sign has
a- large beaver carved from wood and bronzed. But
the eagle was net ferocioue, he seemed contented,
and looked pleued to think he had found the place
where so muoh of the fine clothing had come from,
that he had observed in his aerial wanderings over
Huron County arid part of Perth. The eagle wae
sight, Piokard's is the place for fine Clothing and
Dry Goods. The great masees of people deal with
Pickard.

CARD OF THANKS.. -At a meeting of the
33rd Battalion Band held last Thursday
evening, an -unanimous vote of thanks was
tendered to the citizens of Seaforth for
helping the band so liberally in their sub-
scription list, which the committees have
just finished. It shows the interest our
townspeople have taken in the band, and
every member, not only appreciates the
kindness of our citizens, but are encouraged
by it, and expect to be igreatly improved by
next summer. The colnimittees have not
called on all the people,they would like to
have called upon, as that, is a hard matter
to do, but if any of those who have not
been waited upon would like to help the
band; theymay do so b, handing it to the
aeoretary, r. Thomas , lurray. The band
have a few names on the lists who have
promieed t give, and heve asked the com-
mittee to c 11 on them a ain, hue as the
weather is sitting very isagreeable they
would deem it a great favor if these persons
would hand in their donations to the sec-
retary. i The boys trust that the citizens
will be rep Yed for the he p they have given
their orgini ation.

ON HIS LAST Lnos.-It was the evident
ntention of the weather clerk to put the
ockey club there, if we are to judge from
he weather he dished out on Friday,
vening last, the date • of their concert.
owever, a fair audience was present and
fter paying all expenses, the club will have
small surplus. The concert was a good
ne and undoubtedly would have been
atter patronized but for the weather. The
rst part of the programme consisted of
nsie and songs. Mr. Will McLeod, our
lebrated comic singer, was greeted with
enty of applause and pleasantly respOnded
hearty encores. Mr. Frank Willis, the
lored artist, was also well received. Mies
IOWD, of Goderieb, soprano, sang a couple
solos, which were encored, while a cornet
uet by Messrs. Will McLeod and Tom
iller was well received. Miss Flossie
eir and Mrs. Will McLeod acted as ac_
mpaniata. The second pert was a three
t drama entitled " On His Lest Legs,"
d was giveu entirely by local talent,
der the direction of Mr. C. W. Andrews,
ho took the leading oharacter. The play
a comical skit and was well received by
e audience. The players themselves are
be congratulated on this their first at.
mpt, and we trust they were sufficiently
couraged to go on to even greater things,
th which they will favor us at • a future
te. If they continue as 'they have
rted, Seaforth may yet furnish her quota
the stars of the profession, and we may
t see a familiar home face poi trayed in
e current magazines, among the leading
y actors of the world. The following
re in the caste : Messrs. C. W.
draws, J. F. Daly, Harry Stewart, J. P.
nderson, Frank Willis and Jae Stephens,
d Misses McQuaid, A. Roberts and A. Mo-
an. During the evening the Daly or-
stra played some entertaining selections.

ECNIONDVILLE NOTES. -Mr. and Mrs.
David Moore returned on Tuesday of last
week from Manitoba. They were away
about two months and enjoyed their visit
among relativee an'd old friends very much.
They were delighted by the prosperous ap-
pearance of the country, as evidenced by
the vast fields of grain, the thriving towns
and comforlable homesteads, which every-
where met' the eye. -Rev. J. S. Muldrew,
of Morris, Manitoba, came down on a visit
to his mother and other relatives on Thurs.
day of last week.-Cornmunion services will
be observed in our ehur h next Sabbath.

Preparatory service on riday, at 2 p. m.,
by Rev. Mr. Cameron, of North Easthope,
and thanksgiving on Monday, at the same
hour, by Rev. Mr. &were, of Brucefield.-
The lecture in our church, on Friday even.
ing, by Rev. Mr, Jansen, was not largely
attended, mainly on account of the wet and
dark night. Mr. Jansen is a realistic por-
trayer of Holland and ita people, -his talk
overflowing with amusement and instruc-
tion. If boiled down, however, to leaser
dimensions, it would be more palatable.
The lecture consists of two parts, and, by
speaial request, the reverend gentleman will
deliver the second part on Tuesday evening
next, beginning at 7:30, and those who
want to spend a pleasant and profitable
hour or two, should be sure to attend. -
Who will be the next occupant of the Van-
Egmond residence, which will be offered for
saIe by public auction to -morrow ? It is
beautifully situated, and would make a fine
home for a person with. means and taste to
keep it in order. -Mr. 'Robert Sutherland,
who has been spending the past year or
more here with his parents, on scoount of the h
ill health, returned to his home in Buffalo many
on Monday last, but, we are sorry to say,
he has made but little progress healthward.
-Hallowe'en le said to be a relic of heathen-
ism, and certainly some heathenish pranks
have been played in honor of it in the past,
but on Tuesday evening the boys were truly
on their good behavior in this vicinity, at
least.

HomE Aolall.-Mr. and Mrs..
Moore, of Egmondville, who have apen
past couple of months with friends in
etoba and Dakota, have returned h
Mr. Moore is gr atly taken with the West
and says that f he were twenty years
younger this pro ince could not hold him. -
He is of the opin on that that is the right
country for roust men who purpole follow-
ing farmin , and thinks that a young
with from 00 t $400 could, with av
crops, in a few y ars become indepen
It is the place to for laborers as the
geod pay, but ha e, of course, to work
hours, partioula ly during harvest
threshing. Mr. Moore, however, has too
much Scotch in h m to bide the wasteful-
ness of the ma'ority there. He says
enough ain is left lying in the field around
the stoo 4 and w ere the threshing machine
has stood, to kee a poor man's tinnily,
while bushels of od wheat are spilt on the
way to merket. he grain is taken to the
elevators in the agon boxes and every
time the wheel jolts on a stone oo through a
hollow, a quantit of it spills out, until the
road is almost paved with wheat. While
driving along the oad one day he came to a
got out and gathered it into his buggy and
i
place where fully bushel lay in a heap.
This was more tha he oonld stand, so he
took it home with him. Before he left
there the snow was lying several inches
deep on the ground while a great deal of
grain was yet unthreshed, but the farmers
were net dismayed as they expected it all
to go away again and then they would go at
the threshing again. While visiting ' at
Chrystal City, he called on Mr. Samuel
Hicks and Mr. W. G. Duff, both former
well known residents of this vicinity. Mr.
Hioks has a farm about three miles from
the toWn, while Mr. Daff is teaching school
about e mile out, and both are doing well.

LOCAL BRIEFS. -The Clinton New Era
speaks of two of our esteemed residents as

forth, were guests of W. R. Lough. Mr.
McMichael is one of the pioneers of this
county, having settled in Hullete nearly 60
years ago. Both he and his esteemed part-
ner look to be good for a score of years. -

ed on Wednesday, but we have not heard of

the veilds of Muskoka. --The town wad un-
usually quiet on Hallowe'en and no
merious depredations were perpetrated. A
few out houses were over.turned and smash-
ed and a few gates removed. It is a pity
that something can not be done by the au-
thorities to stop these petty ennoyances to
the people which do not do any person any
good and are exceedingly annoying to peace-
able_citizens.-The treasurer of the South
Huron Agricultural Society was in Exeter
on Saturday and despite the wet, disagree.
able weather, paid out about six hundred
dollars for prizes awarded at the fall show.
