of Mr. Schiverea, in the Methodist
church, were brought to a close on
Wednesday evening last, and he left
here for his home in Brooklyn, N.Y., on

attended' by people of all denominations

they proceeded, and will, we hope, have
a Mating and beneficial influence. Dur-
ing his brief stay here Mr. Schiverea,
by his earnest and unassuming manner
and, his courteous, christian bearing,
made many friends; and not a few -will
cherish pleasant, and, we trust, profit-
able recollections of his visit to our
town. Previous to the opening of the
Weduesday evening Meeting - he was
waited upon at his rooms, at the resi-
dence of Mr. W. D. Bright, by a com-

been rendered with such patient fidelity that
the ladies who have had the privilege of listen-
ing to your instructions have, without respect
to denomination, desired to offer you some,
special evidence d their appreciation of your
teachings. The Bible readings, which have been
a- great source of instruotion and comfort t�
every one, have created such an Interest in
God's word as will, we assure you, lead us to
prize more highly than ever the dear book from
which you have given us such valuable lessons.
Your efforts to create cordial and friendly rela-
tionslietween the people of the different churches
In Seafortlrhave Wen instrumental in promot-
tog such a union of Christian hearts as will, we
trust, be of spiritual benefit to ourselves and for
the welfare of the Master's cause in our midst.
While called upon to bid you farewell we feel
convineed_that this work will oontinue and in
our hometand at our family altars, we assure
you, we shall ever strive to carry into practice
the noble precepts you have -so faithfully -taught
us. We desire to accompany this address with
a small gift, it beihg entirely unsolicited, which
we beg youto hand to Mrs. Schiyerea, as an out-
come of the gratitude we feel in our hearts for
your presence here. Our earnist prayez is that
the God you, have led some of us. to trust may
continue to bless you and make you a blessing.

FOOTBALL. -The spring meeting of
the Western Football Association was
•held at Berlin on Saturday, April 13th,
Mr. A. L, Langford being the- Seaforth
delegate. The business = of this meet-
ing was to arrange the ties for the
Spring season and minor matters. con-
nected with football in the west. The
following clubs entered: Torontos; To-
ronto Scots, Marlboro's,- Osgoode Hall;
• (Toronto teams) ; Ayr, Dundas,Aylmer,
Galt, Berlin Rangers, Seaforth. These
clubs to play off for the Championship
of the Western Association. Ties were
arranged as follows : Preliminary, Ayr
vs. Dundee, Aylmer vs. Seaforth, to be
played on or before May 4th. First
round, -Winners of these to play Gralt
and Berlin, respectively, on or before
May 18. Second round,-Winnera of
these ties to play off, to decide who is to
or the champlonehip of the Western
Atsocletion. Thus it will be' leen
that Seaforth first plays Aylmer
on the home grounds on or before
May 4, -and if they win they next play
.Berlin there on May 18. Although the
Seaforth team has been considerably
weakened by the loss of two of last
year's players, McLean and Nourse, yet
the, additions have been such as to justify,
us in hoping for a successful season.
The celebrated right wing composed of
Dewar and Killoran is now on the field
again; Dallas will play on the forwards,
posssibly in centre; D. McDonali
will likely play on the .left lefti wing
instead of the defence; other additions
will probably be made to the list of old
players, which will be known after a
few more evening's practice.
-Word has been received from Ayl-
mer that they will be here to play their
match with Seaforth on the evening of
Friday, May 3rd. As there is a good
deal of rivalry 'between the clubs, an
interesting and exciting game may be ex-
pected. The hour for the match • will
be convenient. Nobody should mist it.
The Spring Shame.
The Spring Show ef the Morris 'Agri-
cultural Society was held at Blyth on
Tuesday last. This Society has not
held a spring show for several years,
and adopted the practice of giving prized i
for entire stock at the fall slow- nstead.
This year, however, the enterprising
citizentlof the place raised the money for
the prize list among themselves. and
presented it to the society, 80 the spring
show has again resumed. The attempt
can hardly be called a success. ,The at-
tendance of people was very small, due
no doubt to the fine weather- and the
busy season with farmers. The show ot
stock' was also light, but the animals
shown were nearly all good, The aged
and three year old heavy draughts were
as 'fine animals , as could be seen any-
where, while
the three splen bulls that were shown,
Vould be .hard to best

SEA . OF GALILEE. -The following is a
silepsis of a lecture delivered last Sab-
bath evening in Knox church, Brtissels.
This lake is harp -shaped and about 13
Miles long and seven broad, and its sur-
face it over 600 feet below the Mediter-
ranean Sea. In our Lord's time it was a
great centre of a great commerce, and
the population which thronged the cities
• Which stood on its ihores was World
representative, and no doubt this, among
other reasons, made it the greatest cen-
tre of our Lord's •earthly ministry:
Many of the Apcistlee knew every inch of
• the locality; and had at their disposal a
ready boat service.- The Scripture pas-
sage illustrated here is Mark iv, 35.
The threatening tempest rose' suddenly
i
and increased n violence every moment.
The Lord was fast asleep must have
looked as unlike one who should be able
t� save as possible, and yet the frighten- .
ed crowd awoke Him with the anxious
00 " save us." -What made thenTgo to
Him, and go 'so confidently. To this
'question there can - be but one answer:
they had seen His works previously, and
though He 'looked 'man -like still they
knew, He could save like God. Theirrs
.is:a, worthy example for all to follow.
;LoomaTies.--JAmes Young has sold
his property, on John street, to Mrs.
Thompson, for $650. He has • now .dis-
posed of all his property before leaving
for the West. -The 13russels council
have secured the privilege -from 'Win.
Spence, the obliging clerk of Grey, to
dispose of the -village garbage en a
property of .his south of the village,: and
while getting rid of it they are also fill-
ing an ugly hole on the property. -At
the base_ball match last Friday, the
,first of the season, the score stood 9 to
siX. So the boys seem as if they had
not forgotten yet how to play ball.-
Wm. Doutney has gone to take a situ-
ation on one of the lake boats ler the
season. -,John Leckie intends remodel-
ling. his -brick store at once, - and has
leased it to be Occupied, when com-
pleted, to Ross Brothers. - Council
meets next Monday for the purpose of

tends going to London. -At the nomin-
Ation, to fill the vacancy on the School
Board, on Wednesday, J. Gilpin. and
Y.! S. Scott were nominated for the pos-
ition and a -coi2test is the result. Mr.
Denman and other -friends of _Gilpin, as
well as himself, have started a yarn to
the effect that Scott is not qualified,
but electors should only look on this as
an election dodge, for if there is any-
thing in it, now is not the time to dis-
cuss it. It is after the election that it -
will be for Gilpin and Scott to decide
the matter in • the laW court. -The

SCROOL BOARD MEETING. -A meet-
ing of the Board of School Trustees was
held in Kyle's Hotel a few days ago.
The principal subject for consideration
wris the building of e new school -house
in :No. 4 section. This question having
been postponed for some time and thor-
oughly discussed, ;the Board3had deter-
mined to finally arrive at a decision. - A
letter from the County Inspector was
submitted, In which he condemned the.
ol4 school -hone° ancrinsisted on the
erection of a new building. In view of
this letter, and the necessity of at once
taking action in the matter as the old
school would not be fit for occupation by
the scholars next winter, a majorityof
the Board, having taken all things into
consideration, felt it to be the duty of -
the Trustees to erect a new school-
hi:Mee The Secretary was directed to
advertise for tenders n the Clinton and
Seforth papers. A committee was .ap-
pointed composed of Messrs. Simplon,
Broadfoot and Carnochan to
selOt a site. These gentlemen .selected
a desirable location in the centre of 'Mr.
Crlich's farm, but as that g.entlemen
strongly objected, and in defference to
the wishes of a deputation who waited
on the committee, the locality was
changed to the corner of Mr. Orioles
fifty acres which appears to be satisfac-
tory to all concerned. . -
HE RETURN DEBATE. -On • Monday
ning, the 22nd inst., the return 'de -
e between the Forest Home and Hen -
1 debating ;societies took place in the
ool in Section No. 9. The President,
MC. D. 'Johnston,- occupied the chair,
and although a very large , crowd was
ilssent the best of order was maintained.
The subject for discussion was, "lite -
&jived that the intemperate use of alco-
holic liquors has produced more misery
in the world than the wars of civilized
nations." The affirmative was upheld
by Messrs. L. Herold and J; C. Stone- •
min of Hensel', and the negative by
Messrs. T. G. Shillinglaw and W. Doig
in113ehalf of the Forest Home Society.
A ;committee consisting of Messrs. J. T'.
pointed'P. Kelly and D. McKay was ap-
to decide which side would ad -
en ,
va ce the better arguments. Before the
speaking began the musical part of the
Ft:gramme was probeeded with. Seve-
re Very fine selections of vocal and in-
strumental music were very ablyrender-
edby Messrs. Dobson, Forsythe _Bros.
and Miss Brownlee, all of which was
duly appreciated by the audience. The
debate WAS very interesting throughout,
and both sides did their utmost to-- win.
