DISTRICT MATTERS.- - A PLEASANT FAREWELL. -At the close c f the monthly meeting 9f the •Litdiee'. Aid in. the Methodist church, last Monday afternoon a farewell tea was given to two of tho members!, Mrs. Josiah Watson and Miss Cudmore, who are leaving in a short tithe for British Columbia, Short addreeees ,were made by Rev. B. Walwin„Mre. Bober% Wil- lis, president of the Ladiee' Aid, and Mrs. Coulter to which both Mrs, Watson and Miss Cudmore responded. Mrs. Wation has for a long tiMe been- one Of the most faithful memloere Of the Ladies' Aid and will be very much missed in other branches of church work as well. She and Miss Cud - more will carry with them to their new. home in the far west the kindest wishes of the .people of the Seaforth Methodist church. APPRECIATED. -The Goclerich Star pays the following tribute to the Seitforth talent which took part in the entertainment in that town, on the second night of the fair : "The 33rd regiment band attracted a fair attend- ance at Victoria opera howls on Wednesday evening. There was not asdarge a number -present as the merits of the entertainment warranted, but those who did attend were well repaid for their trouble. The, several aglections by the band were highly appreci- ated, and the rePeated encores must have made the members and their worthy leader feel that such wee the case. • Will McLeod, of Seaforth, by special re uest, danced the i3 sailor's hornpipe, and WA loudly encored, responding with ' Making I eth Ends Meet,' and a number of laughable- English, Scotch and Irish joker. Mac; is a host in himself." • THE HOUGH CUP . RE•CAPTURED.-After a sojourn of a year in Goderioh, the Hough Cup has been re -captured by our Collegiate Institute football boys, and, in connequence, there is great rejoicing in the camp of the Collegians. Until a year ago, this coveted trophy had been held by our Collegiate boys for year's against continuous oneleughts by neighboring football aggregations. A. weak sponhowever,was worn in the atmour of the defenders, and the Goderich braves made off with the prize. Previous to this, unsuccess- ful attempts were made to recapture it,'but Saturday 'ant the boys, went to Goderich,and the trick wandone. After a hard game our boys stood Winners by a score of one goal to none, and the Hough Cuio is again theirs, and we expect to see them, hold it for years to come. ' • I BARN BURNED.--1-As a result of the severe thunder storni, on Tuesday 'night of last week, Mr. Joe. Fisher, of, Tuckersmith, met with a heany loes in the desiruction of. one of his barns by fire. The barn was situated on the old Simpson farm, adjoining Mr. Fisher's homeetead farm, and now owned by him. A shed adjoining the barn was 'also destroyed and both were full of this season'a orop. They contained 10 acres of wheat, 7 acres of oats, 10 acres of barley, 16 acres of clover and 16 -acres of seed clover, and all wae consumed. A strange feature of the fire was that it did not break out for nearly an hour after the etorm had passed. When the building was struck, the fire must lhave smouldered inside for that time. Mr. Fisher had an insurance of $1,100 in the Hay loom- pioasv. , bat this' will not nearly - cover his . SEA FORTH M ILL E - • OPENED . -Af ter hav- ing been closed own for nearly three months, the Seafort Milling Companybave again commenced nning their mill. Dur- ing the time the mill was _closed, very el- tensive imprevementse have been made, in fact theentire machinery has been changed and by enstalling the latest and best mach- inery, the company have now practically a new mill. The Gyrator system, the latest improved method of manufacturing flour, has been put in, making it one of the most upto-date mills in the Province. Since taking hold of the !mill, a couple of years ago, this company has worked np a large and -lucrative business,' and now that they have so materially improved the mill, they expect to extend their operations. We trust that their expectations will , be fully realized and that their 6nterprise will be fully repaid by a largely increased business. • RE ORGANIZATION IN THE PUBLIO SCHOOL. --The public school board hae decided on and taken steps towards the re -organization of the teaching staff in the public school. This step was considered necessary for dif- ferent reasons. The establishment of a separate echool here will remove the names of some fifty-eight pupils from the roll of the public school, thereby doing away with the services of one teacher. This,and complainte from different querters that out of date methods were in vogue in the school, com mensurate with the salaries being paid, and that the children were not advanced as quickly as they should be, induced the truetrees to take sweeping measures with a view to rejuvinating and remodelling the staff and methods. At a meeting of the board, on Friday evening last, a motion was passed instructing the secretary to ask for the resignations of the entire staff, to take effect at Christmas, but giving the present teachers_ the privilege of re applying if they desired. At an adjourned meeting, held on Tuesday evening, the resignations of the staff, with the exception ot the principal, were received and .acceptedr Mrs. Coulter was re-engaged as teacher of the primary department, at a salary of $300, and the board ie now advertising for applicants for the position of principal, and for first, sec- ond, third and fourth aesistants. A re- adjustment of the salaries has also been madenbeing a reduction in the majority of cases, particularly in that of principal,which is placed at $600 as an initial salary, and requiring a standard of first-class profes- sional certificate. The remainder of the teachers are reqUired to have not less than aecond-class Nermal school certificates, • TEE JUDGE'S AWARD. -Judge Doyle has given his award in the case of McGinnis vs. 8eaforth far danmges on account of the new granolithic side walk having been erected higher than his store door. The case was heard le re a few weeks ago by Judge Doyle as arbitrator, in accordance with the pro- visions of the lays in such cases. The judge has nwarded Alatinnis damagee to the amount of $221,25, and nis own charges as arbitrator are $73. This decisiote of course, throws the costs on tho town. What the whole bill will amount to we do not know, but we fancy it will not fall far short of $500. Where thst judgegot in the extra 25 cents is not explained. With all due respect to hie honor, we have no hesitation in saying, that taking all the circumstances into consideration, he has assessed the dam- ages at an absurdly high figure. The build- ing is an oid wooden one, and the damage complained of is, that the walk is about four inches higher tiler, the door step of one of ths stores. In the event of a permanent building being constructed, the tvalk as it now is would be found too low for the new building. Besides this, in order to accommo- date Mr. McGinnis and in'flict as little in- jury on him as possible, the walk at the , point complained of was made at least six I inches lower than it should havebsen as laid stances and considering the very trifling in - out by the engineer. Under these circurn- jury which Mr. McGinnis really sustains, it does seem little short of an outrage that the town should be mulcted in such a bill for damages and costs. Howeser, such is the law, aed we euppoee it must be submitted to. But the law should be changed, both as to the liability for damages and the fees to the arbitrator. We believe the law allows the judge as arbitrator to charge $20 a and expenses for each day he site on case, It has generally been suppoaed t arbitration has been provided as a diem means of justice than the regular aou ay at eV but the experience in this case would. not justify that conclesion. The judge gets a regular -salary for the performance. of hie judicial duties, and goodness knows it is high enough, and is the height of absurd- ity to allow such fees for extra work of this kind. These remarks do not refer to this case particularly, as Judge Doyle has net done more than any other person in his place would do, that is charge what the law allows him,, but the law which permits of snob a °barge for ouch a service is at fault and should be changed. The allowance would be liberal at half what it now is. 'The fact is, that under the law as it now exist's, any municipality oan be effectually blocked from making necessary public improvements by one or two cantankerous residents, wheee property is • likely to be affected, making threats of actions for damages. This should not be so. We have as -much sympathy as any person can have where real damage and injury is sustained, and oare should alwoys be taken to protect the interests of the individual ' against corporation en- croachments, but some' consideration should aleo be giVen to publio interests Mid public necessity. As the law now stands the municipality is entirely at the mercy of the indiiidual and has liettle choice or say in the- matter. The improvement must be abandoned, or the risk of heavy damages must he incurred. At any rate there should be a distinction between real damages and damages which are largely nmaginary. No person should be allowed to make money out of a corporation by suing for damagen • , POULTRY WANTED. -Kennedy Bros. pay highest cash prices for all kin& of fowl, hides, skins and tallow.

The meeting was fairly well attended and the offerings were liberal. An earnest and interesting address was delivered by Dr. Marion Oliver, a medical missionary at In- dore, Central India, who is now home on furlough, also by Mrs, (Rev.) Hamilton, of Goderich, president of the Preebyterial Society. Musical selections were given by the auxiliery choir, a duet by the Mines Scott, and a solo by Miss Nellie Young. The president, Mrs. Archibald Scott,presid• ed. In the evening an open meeting was held when a very interesting addreas, de- scriptive of the condition and disabilities of women in India, was given by Rev. Mr. Tamieeon, who is also a returned missionary from India. Several well rendered mimics' selections were also given by the choir, under the leadership of Miss McFaul. Rev. Mr. Larkin presided and opened the meet- ing, which was a very pleasant one. Dr. Oliver is a sister of Mrs, (Rev.) Hamil- ton, of Goderich, and her homtg is in the town- ship of Downie, Perth county. She bas° been a missionary in India for many years and now has charge of the women's hospital which is conducted under the auspices of the Presbyterian church. She is home for a year to rest and recuperate, and intends returning at the end of that time to re- sume her duties in India. Mr. Jamieson was, for some years, a colleague of Rev. Mr. Wilkie in the Indere miesion. He was a college mate of Rev. Mr. Let kin. He is an earnest, fluent speaker, and his heart is, unquestionably, in the mission work. ' • PRESBYTERY OF HURON.-Th0 Presby• tery met in Brucefield, on the 8th inst. Sessions were recommended to have mission- ary meetings, or have missionary sermons preached in their several congregations. The finance committee was authorizsd to raise the amount required tor Presbyterial expenses in the usual way, the rate being twelve cents per family. Messrs. Shaw and McNeill were appointed to address the an- nual meeting of the Presbyterial Women's Foreign Mission Society, to be held in Bleo h in January next. A call from the congre- gaeions ot Kippen and Hills Green, in favor of Rev. M. E. McLennan, of Alma, was sus- tained., Stipend $800, with manse and four weekii holidays. Provisional arrangements were made for MreMeLennan's induction in 'the event of his accepting the. call. Leave was, granted to the board of managethent of Carmel church, Hensall, to unify the deeds of several plots of land in connection with the Rodgerville cemetery. After examin- ation, etc., the statue of catechist was ac- corded to Mr. J. -S. Dalgety. The remits were assigned for consideration to the stand- ing committees, as follows : That, on " Sabi bath riohool workers," to the Sabbath school committee ; that, on " Commission of as- eembly," to the conference committee ; that, on " the constitution of assembly," to the home mission committee ; that, on- " term service of piling elders," to the fin- ance committee, to report at next meeting.

" For the fourth time in as many donaeoutive years, Francis Sills carried off t he honors at the annual field day sports ot the students of Assumption Col- lege, Sandwich, Ontario. He completed his most notable victory with the hundred yard dash, whioh he did in 10 2 5 seconds. Ernest Phanegu, who was second, was half a yard behind him. About 100 students took part in the sports. Sills is in his fifth year of studies, and comes from Seaforth, Ontario. He has now placed to hie redit four college championship cups." hile coniratulating our young friend o his success in this instance, We are pleased to know that his college class record has been as commendable as his athletic achievements and that he does eredit to himself and his native county in both departments. • A WORD OF WARNING. -MR, EDITOR, - It is with astonishment and regret that I learn that the teachers in our public school in town, have been asked by the board of trustees, to hand in their resignations. :It seems that the board considers it necessary to lessen the number of teachers in the school, but that surely does not mean that our principal is to be dismissed. A man who is an excellent, upto.date teacher, of pure habits, and altogether a noble, Christ- ian man. I am sure many fathers and mothers are thankful to have their children educated in a school where the teachers are so efficient and set such a high example of noble living as Min McFaul and his co-work- ers in the public school. , We can get teachers to instruct rur children in all that tbe text books contaio, but it is not merely teachers we need ; it is men and women whose life is an example of goodness which constitutes true greatness. I trust that our echool board may see ita way clear to re-engage our principal and as many of hie colleagues as may be needed at full salaries, letting them feel that all their years of noble faithful work are appreciated by the board. Aiad remembering that it is false economy to out down our teaohers' salaries. -A MOTHER, • COUNTY CONVE_NTIOX.-The annual county convention of the Woman's Chrietian Tem- perance Union was held in the Presbyterian ()hutch, Seaforth, on Tueaday and Wednes- day last.
