A NOW Parsonage. -At a meeting Of the Methodist congregation of this town, held last week it was decided to proceed with the- erection of a new parsonage at once. The new building will be a two story brick and will -be erected on the site of the present parsonage which is occupied by; the care taker. This will be torn down and the building next to it,now occupied by Mr. L. Shade, which also belongs to the congregation, will be eemoved to the rev of tbe lot and fitted up for a residence for the care taker. When these improve- ments iare completed our Methodist friends will have not only a comfor- table and convenient home for their pastor but a property which will be alike creditable to the town and to their generosity as a congregation. • Well DO M. -WO noticed the fol - following in the Globe a few days ago o "Drs. F. C. Neal and N. D. Buehanan, of the University of To- ronto medical faculty have complet- ed their courses for the degrees of L. R. C. (Lon.) and M. R. C. S. (Eng.) Bath gentleraen were honor gradu- ates from the university, and they have taken 'the above degrees in the shortest time possible. They intend spending some time on the continent before returning." Both these doc- tors aro old Huron bays. Dr. Neal is a son of Mr. Neal, Post master, at Walton and ,Dr. Buchanan is a, son of Dr. Buchanan, of Zurich. The boys have done well and The Expositor unites with their numerous friends in congratulating them on their suc- cess,- and in wishing them even bet- ter things in the future, • • Lacrosse. -At a meeting of the ex- teeutive of the C. L. A. held in 'To- ronto, recently, the different teams bo the senior series were grouped in- to districts. The Beavers were placede,in group No. 2, along with pwen Sound, Orangeville, Mount Forest and St. Marys. While it is altoge/ther probable that some of these will withdraw, still the ar- rangemnent is not a very good one. It means too many long, trips to be a profitable league. A meeting will be held in Guelph this Friday to ar- range the schedule. The Beavers will likely, have- a good team this iyear and we would like to see them .in with some good clubs.- The jun- ior clubs have also been divided in- to districte. In No. 2 is Kincardine, Wingham, Lucknow and Listowel, while No. 5 is composed of Mitchell, Clinton and Seaforth. The Couneire-At a special meeting bf the town council held on Tuesday' evening last, a special committee was appointed to wait on the Elec- tric Light Company to ascertain from them the price at which they will dispose of the. whole plant; thc town lighting part of it the con- ditions on which they, will renew their present contract _for a term of fivegyears, The present contract expires next September. The cost of lighting the town now is $16200 and there Is a gtrong feeling in the Council that the, plant should be own'ed and run by the, town and that in this way a material saving to the town could be effected. The fire and water committee were instruct- ed to ascertain the cot of erecting ankithee tank for street Watering purposes and the most suitable place to locate it and report at the regu- lar meeting. A communication was received from Mr. J. M. Best, solic- itor for Miss Halpin, asking for damages fee her residence having been flooded during the freshet this spring. The matter, was eeft over until the regular meeting. • • Egmondville Social. -The musical and literary social given in the Eg- mondville church on Monday, even- ing last, under the auspices of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Soeie- ty was a suceess in every particu- lar, as is almost, ,uniyersally the case with the entertainments of our Eg- mondville neighbors, and more par- ticularly those gotten up by the ladies of the congregation. The at- tendance was good and the proceeds very satisfactory. A most excel- lent ;programme of readings, reci- tations ad music was given. Rev. Mr. Small, of Auburn, who has gain- ed lquitc. a reputation as an elo- cutionist •gave several recitations, Missee McLean and Sleeth, of Sea - forth, were also listened to in a 'similar way, with very great pleas- ure. The umsical partrof the pro- gramme was equally well taken by the Methodist quartette and Miss G. Laidlaw, of Seaforth, who gave a nolo with her usual grace and sweet- ness of voice. The local talent was represented by Mrs. Shaw and Miss A. G. Gemmill, who gave a duet very nicely, and by, a quartette come posed of Misses Reinkie and Gem - mill and. Mews. Beattie and Mc- Gregor, who gave several selections, which wore very much appreciated by the audience. Miss H. I. Graham also read two beautiful poems of her own. In fact, every num- ber on the pomewhat lengthy pro- gramme was well rendered and those in attendance were given a real treat. • The Beavers' Minstrels.-Tlae Beav- ers' minstrels were greeted with a bumper house on Friday night last, in fact the hall was packed to the doors. The advance sale of seats ex- ceeded that of any entertainment previously, held here, and the pro- ceeds for the night amounted to in the neighborhood of $250. The show was just as good as the house and we are sure that not one of the many present went away disappointed., The choruses were extra good, and solos were more than ordinarily well rendered, while the end men, Messrs. J. F. ,Daly, Phil. Burgard, George Carder° and Frank Willis, to say no- thing of the old reliable, G. B. Scott, were great fun makers and their Joke s were all new and of the'witti- est. Mr. Will McLeod acted as in- terlocutor and also sang a couple of funniie songs and gave the sailors' horn,pipe in rattling style. Solos were'rendered by Roy Willis, J. F. Daly, P. Burgard, F. Willis, G. Card - no, E. Peters, W. H. Willis and E. Bright. A most enjoyable quartette was rendered by the Willis Broth- ers, W. H.; W. G., F. L., and Roy. Mr. Gee, the leader' of the band, gave a well rendered coronet solo. Mr. G. B. Scott gave a stump speech and in company with Phil. Burgard did some up-to-date slight of hand work. During the evening an excellent or- chestra furnished music. The great- est praise is due Mr. W. H. Willis, who trained the ahoruses and as leader of the erehestra. The ebow throughout was' an exceedingly good one and shows that Seaforth has plenty, of talent that can surpass many of the big travelling° shows. The boys all did their parts to per- fection and have every reason to be proud of the'mselves and the big house surely shows that, they were aPpreeiated, while the continuous and hearty applause only einphasized this more, fully, Accidents. -Mr. Charles Boole, of this town, met with a painful acci- dent on Thursday last. He was do- ing some work at -the Royal hotel and while standing on a ladder handing some tools' through a trap hole to a room' above him, the lad- der broke and Mr. Soole fell to the floor, and as a result two bones in Ms right ankle were fractured. This will confine Mr. Soole to the house Lor some time. -One day last weeki Mr. John Grieve, V. S., had the misfortune to meet with a painful accident. He was performing an operation on a horse at Mr. John Oldeield's, in Tuckeesneith and durieg the oper- ation the horse moved and a knife Mr. Grieve was using caught his left hand, making a gash which required seyeral stitches. A. Stewart, Seaforth, has received two ear loads of first class green cedar posts from four to ton inches at lop and from eight to nine feet long. He will have two more cars next week.

If you want a cheap farm come over next fall after the Pres- idential election. Ever since I have been here, every four years after the election land ioes been a little cheap- er for a time. Speaking of elections I may, say the Republicans will win with a big iaajority. Our horse market here i,s ood.

Death of, an Old Resident. -Much and sincere regret was felt here by many on receipt last week of the news of, the death of Mr. Andrew Smith, formerly of Egmonilville. The death, took place on Thursday, 21st inst., at the residence of his sod -in-law, Mr. W. J. Fear, at Ayl- mer. Mr. Smith had reached_ the good age of 86 years. He had not been well for some ,time, although he did not seem to suffer from any particular disease, but gave way before a gradual wearing out of -the system. He was one of the pioneer settlers of Egrnondville and for a great many years carried. on a successful harness making busi- ness. About 8 years ago he rehired from business and went to live with his daughter, first in St. Paul and later at Aylmer. He was natural- ly of s. quiet, retiring " disposition, but these who knew him most in- timately esteemed him most high- ly. He was well read and intellig- . ent and withal scrup-ulously hon- orable. He is survived by a family of two sons and two daughters. The sons are Thomas, of St. Paul and Henry, of St. Louis. The daughters are Mrs. David Baird, of St. Paul, and Mrs. W. J. Fear, of Aylmer'. The Brumfield Show.-Tlae an- nual spring show of the South Hur- on Agricultural Society was held at 13rucefield on Wednesday last. The weather was delightful, but on ac- count of the lateness of tlee season and the general backwardness of farm work, the attendance of spec- tators would. have been much larg- er bad the weather not been so nice. There was not a very large show of horses, not so many as last year,but all classes were represent- ed, and there were many excellent animaLs on the ground.. There were no prizes offered for the horses. The leading feature of the show this year was the bulls.
