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 not ferocious, he seemed sontented, and looked pleased to think he had found the place where ea raucth of the fine clothing had come front, that he had observed in his aerial wanderings over Huron County and part of Perth.

MARRIED IN M ICHIGAN. —A correspon- dent sends us the following, which will be of interest to not a few of our readers : "A very interesting event took place at noon on October llth, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Amos, of Colfax, Michirn, and formerly of Harlock, in Hullett. his was the marriage of their youngest daugh- ter, Miss Jessie, to Mr. Hugh McDermott, a prosperous young farmer of Grant town- ship.

After the ceremony the company sat down to a sumptuous wed- ding dinner. The bride, who was ono of the most popular young ladies of Colfax, looked charming in a dress of white cash- mere, and the bridesmaid, Miss Martha Philip, was dressed in white organdie. - The groom was supported by his brother, Mr. A.

P. for South Huron, opened his series of n-ieetings in this riding in Cardno's hall, Seaforth, on Friday evening last. There was a fair but not large at- tendance. Mr. McMillan spoke tor about an hour. He took up the various planks in the Liberal platform as they were adopted at the Ottawa convention, and showed The absurdity of the charge made by the Oppo- sition that the Liberals have not redeemed, in power, the pledges they made when in opposition. By a citation of faets and figures,' taken from the public documents, he showed that every pledge had been ful- filled, as far as it was Possible for them to be fulfilled. He also shoived the advant- ages which have accrued from Liberal leg- islation and expenditure, and the manner in which these expenditures have resulted in direot profit to the people. He further re- ferred to and refuted certain statements made in public addresses by Sir Charles TuPper and Hon. 0. E. F ster concerning members of the Governmen enotabl Hon. Messrs. Tarte and Sifton. At t e oon- elusion of his speech, he as tendered- a hearty vote of thanks. coned op oh minor Presby lar me the 16t adjour of Deo SUDDEN DEATIL—The pe ple of Seaforth were shocked and paine on Thursday morning as the word rapidly spread that Mr. David Johnson, hardware merchant, had just passed to the great beyond. It seems that Mr. Johnson had been in the enjoyment of his accustomed health and went to business as usual. About half -past nine o'clock he was in the tin -shop 'of his eseeallehment conversing with his foreman, Mr. Charles Soole. Without any previous warning, he suddenly exclaimed " Oh ! Charlie, ' end fell forward into Mr. Soole's arms. He never spoke more, and Dr. Bethune, who was next door, was called in, but could do nothing, and Dr. Burrows, the fa ily physician was immediately sent for, but the vital spark had fled ere his arrival. Mr Johnson was an unusually rugged and bea thy man until last winter, when be had a a vere attack of la grippe, which resultesl in eart trouble. It was hoped, however, tha he bad recovered from that, but the res It proves that this hope was Massive He as about 57 yearenf age and was one of t e pioneer busmess men of Seaforth, • having conducted a large hardware and tin- smi hing business here for about thirty yea s.

Althoilgh never taking a pro inent part in public affairs, he was for ma y years one of the main stays of the Me hanics' Institute and was secretary_ and tablishment ot that inst tution until a year t,1 tre surer, as well . as rustee, of the Col- legiate Institute, frnm t e time of the es - ago and to his executive skill and wise judgment much of the soccess which has at- • • en ed it is due. He was an. active mem- ber of the Methodist church and an enthus- iastic Liberal in politics. His chief de- light, however, was in his home and his family and it was here that he always de• rived his greatest pleasure, and it is in this sphere that hie death will be moat keenly felt, although the removal of such a inan is a distinct loss to the town and the commun- ity at large.. He leaves a family of two sons and fear daughters, to mourn the loss of an ever ;devoted husband and kind and thoughtful parent who had spent his life for them. 1,1 Snow Pniz of last week - the financial' North Wester A Big Snap—Take It GOOD READINd.

Ther are few institu- tions which require mor energetic manage- ment to keep them afloat than agricultural societies.
