LAtraossu.-In a- match played here
last Friday evening for a silver cup, the
Junior Beavers of this town defeated. the
Junior Hurons of Goderich by two goals
. to one. There are some promising play -
era in the Juniors. -The match arranged
for Tuesday between the Senior Beavers
and the St. Marys club did_not come off,
as the St Marys club declined to play,
urgingas a reason their inability _to -get
their beat team together. ScCas not to
entirely disappoint the public the home
team got up a match between the Senior
and junior teams, which proved quite
interesting, and was witnessed by a
good crowd of spectators. TheBeavers
play- their third match with Stratford

PERSONAL.— The St. Marys corre-
spondent of the Mitchell Recorder_
makes the following complimentary
reference, to one of our young citizens.
He says : "Harry Spear, cutter, of Sea-
lorth, formerly of Woodstock, and Mies
Lilian J. Page, were married -on Wed-
• nesday lag, at the residence of the
bride's father, Mr. El. Page, Wellington
street, St Mem; formerly sergeant in
Her Majesty's Ii2nd Foot, The nuptial
knot was tied by the Rev.john Downie,
of Lican. A brother and sister of the
contracting parties performed the duties
of groomsman and bridesmaid, respect-
ively. The Harry _ Spear spoken of
here learned his trade with the late Da-
vid -Little, of Mitchell, and only cons-
pleted his four years apprenticeship
about three years ago. He has done
well since starting for himself, and is
now settled in Seaforth."
TiE LATE JOHN GRIEVE.--zWe are
again thie week: called upon to record
the death of another of Huron's pioneers,
The nOble army is _ rapidly growing
. smell, as the _great reaper has made
i
many and sad breaches n it within the
pelt two years; most of those however
who have been removed have gone be-
• yond the allotted three sdore and ten
years. Mr. John Grieve, of McKillop,
• whose_ illness we have frequently re-
ferred to, passed peacefully away on
Sabbath morning last, having reached
the good age of 80 years. He was the
, last of four brothers, all of whom were
• pioneers and: honored, well-to-do resi-
dents of this vicinity,, and the father
and four sone are now laid side by side
inr Harpurhey cemetery. Mr. Grieve
-was a native of Roxboroshire, Scotland.
He came to Canada 'in 1834, and with
other friends from the same district he
• settled in Huron, taking up -the farm in
McKillop now owned and occupied by
his eldest son William, and on which
he continued to Make his home until re-
moved, by death. There years afte
arriving in Canada he married Agnes
Scott,,. sister of Mem% Robert and
. James Scott, of Rokboro, McKillop,
and they two lived happily together for
over fifty -years, and ale still survives
'him. They had a family of three sons
and fits daughters, two sons and four
• daughters still surviving, and all settled
in the immediate vicinity of the old
homestead. The sons are William and
Robert, of McKillop, and the daughters
Mrs. Hobart Scott, Harpirhey ;- Mri.
John Walker, Mrs. Alexander Nonni',
and Mrs. F. McCune, of MoKillop.
Mr. Grieve had a shook of, paralysis on
the 17th of May last, and from the
• effects of this he never recovered, and
for the last month he took no solid food.
He was a very quiet, unostentatious
rnan, and would suffer a wrong in silence
rather than say anything about it. Rs
heti no enemies, and all who knew him
respected him for his rectitude of char-
-eater and high. sense of honor. He was
also particularly kind-hearted, and al-
ways seemed to esteem it a privilege to
do a person a favor. -Ale was a consis-
tent member of the Presbyterian church
• and a Liberal in politics, and, although
•he was a man of few words, he could
always give an intelligent reason for the
faith that was in him, The funeral
took place on Monday, and the large
• attendance amply testified to the respect
in which:he was held,
• LAOROVSE AND RETTING.-A corre-
spondent of the Stratford Herald makes
the following remarks: "The -enthu-
siasm which is manifested about lacrosse
in this city and the interest which is
felt in every mateh which takes place
'between our club and Seaforth is to be
commended. There is just a shade too
Much betting done at -these --matches,
however, to keep them free from the
suspicion of professionalism; or rather I
should saythe introduotion of an occa-
sional professional player, for we know
our boys are amateurs pure and simple.
Two or three sports about this city.
appear to reap most of the gain in a
,
monetary point of view, and I fail to
tees why just as much interest can not
-be taken by the general public without
hundreds of dollars being staked. Of
course the clubs cannot help the betting
going on so freely, but they can at least
discourage„the betting element to which
I allude by refusing to give them those
tit pointers," pointers, which are often considered.

of the money "put up." No, boys, we
know you play for fun and blood -for
the latter ti ows freely -so discourage
the betting crowd. They take mighty
good care THEIR bleed doeS not flow."
There is no doubt but much of the lilt
feeling which has existedbetween thole'
two clubs is due to, the pernicious prac-
tice of betting indulged in by outside
parties. It is said,and we believe truly,
that large sums of money were lost and
Won on the last two matches. For those
who lost their money in this way we
have no sympathy, but we do think it a
pity that an otherwise harmless amuse
ment should be made in this way a me.
diam for gambling of the meanest kind,
and if. some means are not taken to stop
this gambling, respectable young 'men
connected with all these clubs will with-
draw from them, as they prefer denying
themselves the pleasureand benefit of en-
gaging in these sports to even seemingly
lending their influence to the encourage-
ment of such reprehensible and immoral
practises,

SEATORTH TWENTE YEARS -
Aeo-
Mr. W. Somerville, of the Great North-
western Telegraph Company, has ;eft
with ue a relic in the shape' of a beel-
ines directory of Canada, compiled
Berne twenty years ago by the Montreal
Telegraph Company.. A perusal of Its
pages affords one a sort of melancholy
interest as it !howl what great °hinges
even the comparatively short 'period of
twenty years works in a -community.
Twenty yeah, a long time to look fir -
Ward to, but to the busy, active Mani or
woman, how amazingly fast they roll
by. Incidents in one's life which a
perusal of this old work brings so Vivid-
ly to mind seem but as of yesterday,
and it is almost impossible to realize
that the third of an ordinary life -time
has slipped past since then. When this
directory was compiled the population
of Seaforth was given at 1,800 and it
was then,an incorporated 'Magi), and ir
is stated that the annual trade in grain
amounted to over 1,000,000 buehels: At.
that time also the names are given of
188 business and professional men'and
of these but thirty-six. are nowresi-
dent here. Many of the others are
dead and the remainder are
widely scattered over Canada, the
Northwest and the United Stites.
complete new generation has also sprung
up snide then. The following are the
names of the business and professional
men mentioned in the Directory who are
still resident here: Alexander Ault,
James Beattie, John Beattie, J. ,H.

and Mr. Julius Duncan, village treas-
urer. The late S. G. McCaughey was
Reeve. With the exception of, Messrs.
Ault, Carmichael, Wm.- Campbell,

party of young people assembled at the ,

night last, where they spent a few hours
tripping the light fantastic to the
music ofMessrs. Kirkconnel and Haley
on the violin, accompanied by Mr. Frank
Stretton, of Brpsels, on the organ.
After enjoying themselves to their
hearts' content they all went 'hOme

manner Of prosperity in the future. -
Our friends Mr. Thomas Laidlaw and
Mr. Thomas' Code, having .purchased
new binder between them, *started to
mit their fall wheat on Saturday last.
After getting things rightly started they
were seen' sitting on the fence smok-
ing their pipes, and watching their two
hired men handling the binder and set-
ting up the sheaves. They think, it is
all foolishness of their neighbors to be
working away with the old reaper when
it can be done with so much more ease
. with the binder.

way to Jewell'. Grove at Bayfield, where
a very pleasant day was spent by all on

slightest mishap or adventure occurring
to mar the pleasure of the occasion. -
Rev. O. H. 13ridgeman,_ of St.. Paul's

val in the Temperance Hall of this

turned last week from Port Arthur,

yield.- Mr. Thomas Ward, one of the
largest and most successful farmers' in
this section, pulled a stalk of grain from
a field of spring wheat on his farm,

Considering the spring wheat failure for,
the last few years, we conclude this is
remarkably good.

Morrison,and J. Berry, who have been
on a rusticating trip through Manitoba,
returned last Friday. They give a
• rather dismal report of - the crop pros-
pects out there. They say, through the
Qu'Appelle district there is scarcelreny-
thing, and thousands of Lime are not
worth haavesting; In the vicinity of
Brandon the crop's are little better and
about Portage la Prairie they .are very
good, they also reportgreat destruction
of drops by gopliera. We understand
that Mr. Morrison has rented half a
section of land and intends going back
next spring. They all like the country
well but like Ontario a little better. -

will see that I did not say that he was a
party to the union of -his congregstiott,
with Presbytery I named, and -it iftlt
then my statement don't apply to hiti,
But I think from what Mr. Forrest says
that he agrees with what I did imply,
namely, that few of the congregation at
most, knew anything of the matter. _
-Now, like Mr. Forrest, "I have done."
