HURON LITERATEURS.—A short time

nese offered a series of prizes for the
best tales or sketches furnished for pub-
lication in that paper. They offered a
prize for the -best from the whole Do-
minion; from each Province; from each
county and from each school section.
The County prize Was Macaulay'S his-
tory in five volume'', and the winner of
the prize in the eouty of Huron:was Mr.
Robert Baird, of Clinton. The fbIlew-
ing are the names of those in this county
who took school prizes: Alex. M. Mc-
Leod, Albert E. Jervis, Clinton; John
Simpson'Whitechurch ;, Mist Jessie A.
Gibson, Wroxeter; Willie T. Gardner,

FROM ALGOMA.—Mr. William Murray, -
of Port Finlay, Algoma, arrived here a
few days ago. Mr. Murray has come
to put in another season's threshing
- among his friends and patrons in this
section. If he completes this season he
• will have served 39 years in this cap-
acity. He looks as fresh and vigorous
ai ever he was and the bracing breezes
of old Huron seem to have given him,
renewed youth. Mr. Murray brought
with him samples of the wheat, barley,
oats, peas, clover and timothy growing
on his farm thia season and they all
yielded abundantly and are first-class
quality. Indeed- the country that can
grow such products is one not to be des-
pised for the best and fairest spot in
the broad Dominion. There is not the
semblance of , rust on, any of the grain
and in the collection is pea vine meas-
uring over ten feet in length. The clo-
• ver and timothy alao are very good, and
for the produotion of these grasses the
soil seems to be particularly adapted.
Mr. Murray is, still as enthusiastic over
Algoma as he was when he first took up
- his land and he says that all the .Huron-
• ites settled there are doing well and are
as well pleased with the country as he
is,
ell,- and Mr. Walker in Prescott.
Messrs. Dickson and Anderson of the
teaching staff, Mr. Prendergast, of
Chatham, and, Miss Killoran, of Bay
City, are the other High school repre-
sentatives of our Institute. Three more

January, Miss Barr, Miss Latimer and
Mr. H. Beattie. Four or five 'ex -pupils
are at various medical schools, two or
three at law and two or three have en-
tered fordentistry this term.. This is a
very satisfactory record for a 101°01
that has not yet seen iti eleventh birth-
day.

n. ANOVIER SUDDEN DEATH.—The
people of this village and vicinity were
pained and shocked at the announceinent of the death of Mr. John Ross of
the London Road, Stanley, near here,on
Thursday morning. Pew had heard of
his illness and it is only a few days since
his genial 'face and familiar form were
seen on our streets. It seems that on
Tuesday last Mr. Ross had prepared to
go to the Seaforth show and had gone to
the stable to hitch up his horse. While
so engaged he became suddenly ill And
de -aided not to go. He want to bed and
fronithis he never rose, sinking rapidly
until Thursday morning when he passed
peacefully away. Previous to this he
hid been enjoyinghia usual good health.
The cause of death is supposed to be
some affection of the kidneys which re-
sulted in bleod poisoning. He WAS an
intimate friend of the late Wm. McMil-
lan'and was one of the pall bearers at
his funeral, and none who saw his fino,
robust figure there, ever supposed that
they would have the painful duty of
following his remains to the same ceme-
tery soon after. The ways of Provi-
dence are indeed mysterious. Mr. Roes
s a native of Rosshired Scotland, and
was one.of the first settlers on the Lon-
don Road, where, by industry and good
minagement he made for himself and
family a comfortable home and laid up a
liberal competency. He Was a worthy
citizen, a good neighbor, a ,kind- and
faithful friend. He was a worthy and
useful member of Union Presbyterian
church. He leaves his aged partner' in
life and a family of four sons and five
daughtera to mourn his loss. He was
69 years of age. The funeral will take
place on Saturday it 11 o'clock,

Staffs,.
SAD.—One of the saddest and most
sblemn funeral occasions -ever known in
this section, was that of Tuesday even-
ing of last week. Mr. john Hotham, jr.,
left here about a year ago for Colorado,
buoyed up withAvarranted hope for the
future, as -strength of body and quality
of mind gave every promise of success
in the great field of human competition.
Every succeeding report brought en-
couraging tidings Co his friends here of
his success in the far west,until theyare-
ceived the Startling intelligence by tele-
gram on Thursday of his death on the
,211ci instant, Mr. Hotham took ill with
typhoid fever a few weeks ago and went
iinmediately to St. Luke's hospital,
Denver, where he.was cared. for up to
his death on the date named. His people
on receiving intelligence of his death,
telegraphed the hospital Authorities to
send the body home. , It should have
arrived at Mitchell on Monday, but in-
consequence of delays did not arrive till
Tuesday evening. It was from there
conveyed to the • old homestead here,
where a large number of . friends had
been waiting for hours. At, the old
home the -casket was uncovered and.the
remaine.viewed by the friends and . as-
sembled sympathizers, after which the
body was conveyed, by the light of the
moon, to the Methodist church burying
ground, and at the solemn hour of mid-
night, beneath the bright moonlight,
laid in its last resting place. Very en-
couraging words have been conveyed to
the deceased's parents and friends here
from those who witnessed his illness
and death in the far away west, and on
• Sunday evening a memorial service was
held in the church here in connection
with the sad event. • -

young lady in the capacity of Mrs. Lee.
Miss Johnston, formerly of Teeswaterf
was the object of his choice. „Saar con-
gratulations are extended to Mr. and
Mrs. Lee.
• ,F'ORTUNE'S Wrizar...—Three of Our
local sports invested in two tickets (cost
$10) on their jointaccount in a Mon-
treal sweepstakes OD the St. Leger horse
race. One of the tickets drew a horse,
and the investors thought themselves in
luck., They congratulated themselves
more wheifthe day before the race they
were offered by telegram from Montreal
$150 in cash for their chance. Deeming
themselves sure of winning more, they ,
refused. .When the event came off,
their horse ranked as a starter, not a
winner, and they pocketed $100 only,
.consoling themselves with the idea that
they were at least' $100 ahead. There
does notieem to be any moral against
lotteries in this narrative, but at least
the lesson ie. to be derived that •when
you are offered $150 for a ticket costing
$5, it is a good time to sell.

at a neighbor's and breaking open a
•drawer stole therefrom $15 in money and
other articles. He .also ransacked all
the drawers in the house but only took a
watch chain andsome other small articles.
The supposed guilty person is a man who
that evening took tea at the house Of Mr.
McKay, &neighbor , and who also call-
ed at Mr. Dayman's. He pretended. to
these parties that he was -looking for
some horses that had strayed, but he
told a different story at each place.
He was a young, smart looking fellow
with a black moustache and was well
dressed. It is supposed he went towards
Kippen after leavingMr. McLean's
house and took the train there. There
have been several cases of robbery by
strangers in this vicinity this 4season
and people would be wise to keep a sharp
look out on suspicious strangers who
may be going amongst them and not
leave their houses unprotected unless
they are well and securely fastened up.
