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.

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 y01111 have at all times set an ebcample worthy of Ladies' Symphony Orchestra, imitatidn.

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.

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." • Leave your order for an Easter hat or bonnet.at blies Kinsey', opposite Commercial Hotel, Seaforth. 1686-1 GARDEN SEEDS.—A full line of garden seedsin bulk or in the pukage at Hamilton & Kerslake'e, Seaforth. 1686.1 Get your dairy supplies, milk cans, pails, pans, etc. All hand made.

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, people. By your punctuality, you e • Cairdno'S Hall, C4th, ON THE EVENING OP Tuesdiy, April 17th.

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. • EGMONDVILLE N TES.—Mrs. Stewart and Miss Sarah Stewar are on the sick list this week.—Mr. David hesney has moved into the house receetl vacated by Mr. D.

A 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. . • I 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.

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 the result of carelessness and indifference. —70 The country roads are now very bad, as there,is neither sleighing nor wheeling.
