WELL DON .—There is, perhaps, no more
deservingeha ity in this province than the
Sick Children s Hospital in Toronto, nor one
that should appeal more directly to the
sympathies of the people. We are pleased
to notice that the children of the Seatorth
public school, under the direction of their
teachers, have contributed for the aid of
that instituti n the nice sum of $15.39. The
several departments have given as follows :
Mrs. Coulter s,' $2.51 ; Mrs. Campbell's,
$2 00; Miss . Watson's, $2.00; Miss Kil-
loran's, 1.75;$Miss Cowan's, $2.45 ; Miss
A. Watson's, $2.00 ; Mr. McFaure, $2 68.
We hope that other schools in the county
will follovr th good example thus set. A
small sum ham each, and which would
scarcelybe fe t by the children, would make
an amount th t would be of great aid to the
institution.

DEATH OF 11 H. CALEB CI-DMORE. —Word
was received ere Wednesday of the death
of Mr. Caleb C udmore, son of Mr. Thomas
Cudinore, of Lsborne, near Rurondale. Mr.
Cudmore died in the hospital in Toronto,
after a short i lness of that terribly fatal
disease, spinal meningitis. He was a student
at Toronto U ivereity when he took sick.
He atteeded t e Collegiate Institute here
for severalyears and lived with his uncle,
Mr. William topp. He was just twenty
years of Age an was a bright,promising young
man, being cle rer, studious and steady. Had
his life been spared until matured man-
hood, his ind stry and ability would, un-
doubtedly, ha e. secured him prominence in
whatever walk of life he might haveehosen.
The remains were taken to the borne el his
parent e in 'Us orne and the fueetal took
place on Th rsday. His formeti schooi.
mates here, w th whom he was a Universal
favorite, will deeply regret his death and
the eincerest mpathy of many will be ex-
tended to the parents and friends in this,
the hour of th ir very severe bereavment.

PRESENTATI N.—On Thursday evening of
last week a la ge congregation met in the
Presbyterian church, Egmondville, to bid
farewell to Niv. Daniel Stevenson and his
daughter, before their leaving for Manitoba.
Mr. Stevenson was presented with a well
filled purse, and the following address was
read to him: 1Dear Mr. Stevenson,—We,
the members and adherents of Egmondville
Presbyterian cihurch, regret most sincerely
that you and your daughter are about to re-
move from our midst. Your cheerful, genial
and affable disposition:your readiness to re-
spond to the calls of duty at all times, and
your constant Christian character as a mem-
ber and office bearer in our church has
greatly endeared you to us, and secured for
you our highest esteem and respect, and the
breaking of the ties that bind us together
fills our hearts with sorrow. As a member
of Session, you have, as in everything else,
been faithful to all your duties, always do:,
ing all yeti could, by word and act, to prd-
mote the spiritual welfare of our congrega-
tion. As superintendent of our Sabbath
school, you proved your special fitness tor
u oh an important and responeible position
in the church. You have always been held _
in the highest respect by both teachers and
echo ars. In the Christian iilndeavor Society
you • ave always taken an active intereet.
You have invariably been faithful to your
pled es, and your promptness in taking part
in th meetings always helped to keep up
the interest. In your very practical re-
inter s at the meetings you have sown good
eeed, which, under the blessing of God, will
be fr itful of good results in the lives of our

people ef our congregation and the ohildren
of the Sabbath school. Your regular attend-
' ps -
ance at the prayer meetings, and the sound 1 cventof the Season
of your voice will be greatly missed by all
who were in the habit of attending. As
leader of the praise in our church you have
put so much heart and soul in the singing
that it has been an inspiration to the whole
congregation. The removal of: you and
your daughter from our midst, leaves a va-
cancy that will not soon be filled. Before
saying farewell, let us ask you to aceept
this purse, as a slight token of our esteem
and good will towards you and your daugh-
ter, and the heartfelt wish of us all is, that
the choicest blessings of Heaven may attend
you both in your new home, and that when
life's labors are ended, we may be again un-
ited in that realm above, where parting is
not known. Signed on behalf of the con-
gregation,—N. Shaw, moderator of Seesion ;

HOW TREY FARM IN SOCTTIE DAICOTA.—
Mr. George Rands, formerly ,..of eHallett,
write° from Deermount, South lieaota, on
March 27th, as follows : "There has al-
ready been thousands of acres of wheat put
in here this spring. Farmets have been
seeding since the 10th of March. There is
about an inch of snow on the. ground this
morning. I would like to tell my friends
and old. neighbors in Huron how I farm here.
I will put in 160 acres of wheat, 130 acres
of corn and 50 acres of -oats this epring.
do this work with one man and myself.
We seed about 25 acres per day. I put the
wheat in with a 22 shoe drill, drawn by four
horses. When I plow for corn I average
six acres a day with a fourteen inch gang
plow. This four -horse team that I have
weighs 6,300 lbs.; then I have smaller horses
foe lighter work. I have ten working horses.
We always keep one or two as a reserve.
The reason we can do so much more work
here is, we are going all the time instead of
turning half the time as farmers on small
farms in Ontario have to do. Last year I
raised about eight thousand bushels of grain;
about 2,500 went to the landlord for his
share as, we have to give one-third of what
we raise for rent."

A FAREWELL.—Tbe very comfortable
home of Mrs. Robert Willis was the scene
of a pleasant social event on Monday.even-
ing, March 26th. The teachers, officers and
prominent -workers of the Methodist Sab-
bath school met to do honor to Miss Bert ha
Crich, who was leaving for Hartney, Mani-
toba'on the following morning. Miss Crich
has been for a number of years a faithful
and efficient teacher in the Sabbath sehool,
an active and earnest worker in the Epworth
League and a valued member of the choir,
and deep regret was felt on account of her
departure from the town. -The first part of
the evening was spent in social intercourse
and music followed by dainty refreshments,
after which, short addresses were given by
W. D. Bright, superintendent of the
school ; Mr. Hartry, assistant superintend-
ent, Rev. Mr. Russell, pastor, and others,
all bearing testimony to Miss Crich's effici-
ency, faithfulness and willingness to do her
part in Sunday school or other church work,
and while they regretted her departure they
hoped she would be able to render even
more efficient service in her new home and
wished her happiness and success financially.
A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mrs.
Willis for opening her home, and the very
hospitable manner in which she entertained,
-to which she made an able and feeling re-
ply, speaking of her great interest in Sun-
day school work and her best wishes for
Miss Crich. After singing " Shall we
Gather at the River," Rev. Mr. Russell led
in prayer, and thus a very pleasant and
.profitable evening was brought to a close,
the only drawback being the tinge of sad-
ness at the thought of separation. Miss
'Crich has a hoet of friends outside of the
Methodist church who join with them in
wishing her abundant succens in the West.

DEATH OF Mn. T. 0. Keene—In our last
issue we mentioned the demise of Mr. T.
0. Kemp. The sad event took place at his
residence here on Thursday forenoon last,
It was not unexpected: Mr. Kemp had
been ill for nearly two years and for the
past six months he had been confined to bed
for most of the time. His disease baffled
the beat medical skill, and for some time it
had been known to himself and his more
immediate friends that his case was hope-
less. Mr. Kemp had -been a resident of Sea -
forth for about twenty-four years, and dur-
ing all that time had been closely identified
with all its interests. He came here when
quite a young man, assuming the manage-
ment of the Ogilvie milling business here
and has had full charge of that extensive
and successful business until the time of his
death.- He was a good business man and
conecientiously devoted to the interests of
his employers, whose full confidence he en-
oyed in an unusually high degree. He was
Iso considerate of those under him and few
mployers enjoyed more fully the respect,

men, from the highest to the most humble.
' He always had their best intereats at heart.
But, while earnestly devoted to the business
interests entrusted to his care, he was inde-
fatigable in the promotion of the commer-
cial, educational and moral well being of
the town, and was never sparing of either
his time or means, in these directions He
was especially concerned regarding the wel-
fare of the young, taking an active pare in
Sabbath school and temperance work, and
for many years was the main stay of the
Young Men's Christian Association here
and was also for several years a member of
the Collegiate Institute Board. In fact
everything tending to the spiritual and
moral well being of his fellows had his ac-
tive sympathy and earnest support, while
he was faithful and conscientious in the dis-
charge of eeery duty. He was a useful
citizen, a warm, true friend, a kind husband
and an ever thoughtful parent. Hie death
is a distinct loss to the community, but no-
where will he be so sadly mined or so sin-
cerely- mourned as in the family circle and
the heartfelt sympathy ofi all will go out to
the severely bereaved family. The funeral
took place at 7 o'clock Monday morning,
and despite the early 'hour there !was aevery
large attendance of townspeople. The re-
mains were taken to Bearnsville, the home
of his youth, and interred in the family
plot in the cemetery there. Mr. Kemp
leaves a widow and family of three sons and
one daughter, the latter being in Germany
at the present time purauing her musical
studies. Seaforth has lost many of ,its
valued and useful citizens by death within
the past few years and none will be more
missed than Mr. T. 0. Kemp. He was 50
years of age"a ember of the Episcopal
church and aConse vative in politiee.

evening- last, to consider the propriety of

resolution was adopted instructing the
clerk to prepare a by-law for that purpose,
including the oonditionti that the exemption
shall only exist while the mill is a going
concern, and that in the event of the pro-
perty passing from the control of the pres-
ent proposed purchasers, the exemption
shall cease, unless renewed by a vote of the
council; that the mayor be requested to
Gall a public meeting at an early date to
oonsider the matter, and that this draft by-
law be submitted to the meeting for its
consideration, before the council take final
action. This meeting will be held in the
town hall on Monday evening.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA, —The following is
an extract from a letter written by Mr.
Mat. Irving, who is a private in the Nor-
thumberland Fusiliers, now serving under
General Methuen, to his sister, Mrs.
George Cole' of Ethel, Grey township, and
formerly of :Efeillett. He says : " Well, we
have been on active service since the llth of
October, and we have had some very 'hard
times. We have fought in three very severe
battles and I am thankful to God who, has
brought me safely through them. On the
28th of November we fought a very hard
battle, when ten thousand British troops de,
feated about twenty-three thousand of the
enemy. The noise of the shot and shell
passing over our heads was something aw-
ful. I expected every minute to be shot
down. We fought on the 23rd and 25th
but the battle on the 28th was nothing but
a shower of lead from 5 a. m. until 7445 p.
m. Om General (Methuen) said it was as
hard a battle as was ever fought in British
history I only hope we never have an-
other like it. It is nothing but murder and
it is not very nice to pierce your bayonet
into another man, but you must for your
country's sake and for your own sake, for if
you did not, they would soon finish you.
SVe expect another big battle about the 9th
of January and if I get through it all right
I think it will be the last for a while: Our
battalion is not very strong as we lost a lot
in Belmont and think if we have any
more like the 28th there will not be a Nor-
thumberland Fusilier left to tell the tale.
We are now resting in a small village called
Modder River and the river is close at band.
The day after the battle we pulled over 200
dead Boers out of the river alone and yet
we have to use the earn° water for our drink-
ing and cooking."

LOCAL BRIEFS. —Air., James G. Martin
has now got comfortably located on the
Hannah farm, in Tuckersmith, which he
recently purchased. With a little fixing up
'he will have otie of the beet farms :in the
township.—Inspector Secth, who ep.ent
day and a -half at the Collegiate Institute
recently, has sent in a most fayorable and
complimentary report, showing that excel.
lent work is being dont: by the teachers
and everything is in a most satisfactory
condition. Inepector Seeth is hot usually
profuse in his praise and the school must
be a 1 to receive such high commendations
from him.—Mr. John McLaughlin, who
has lived on Mr. William Fowler's farm, on
the Huron Road, weet of Seaforth, for the
past three years, has removed to Blyth this
week, he having rented another farm near
that village.—At a congregational meeting
held in the Presbyterian church, in this
town, on Monday evening last, it was
decided to extend a unanimous call to Rev.
Mr. Larkin, of Chatham. The stipend of.
fered is $1,400 a year and free manse.
—Miss Kinsey was the first this year with
her millinery opening. It took place on
Friday and Saturday. As usual she has a
large and handsome display of those beau-
ties which so delight the feminine eye and
charm the female heart. A more extended
description Of this display will be given in
our general review next week.—Rev. Mr.
Hodgins accompanied the remains of the
late Mr. Kemp to Beamsville on Monday
and took part in the funeral services there.
—Parties in cleaning the snow and ice off
the granolithio walks should not use an axe
or other sharp instrument, as they are sure
to injure the walk. We notice in front of
several shops on Main street the walk laid
down last fall has been seriously disfigured
in this way. It is too bad when the town
and property owners go to the expense of
laying down neat, 'permanent walks, that
they should be haoked up and diefigured as
