SHIPMa1IT or Freta STALLION& -D. &
J. P. Fisher & Co. have made a name
for themselves as dealers in first caw
stock. ()n Tuesday morning they made
what is perhaps the best shipment to the
United Stkted of stallions that ever left
the County of Huron. The cargo con-
sisted of five splendid animas, all firit
class horses, and each one of which, we
feel sure, will bring top prices to the en-
terprising dealers. Any of the animas
would give a reputation to their breeder.
It seems a pity to lose such valuable
stock, but it is also a proud thing for a
county like Huron to turn out such hand-
some specimens of heavy draught heves.
We predict quick soles at high prices,
and can prophesy a marked improvement
in the stock in those districts where the
horses may travel in the future. The
names of the animals.are "Young Lord
Haddo," " Glencairn" and " Bismarck,"
three beautiful bays ; "Simon Pure," a
fine black stallion, and another of the
same Dolor. All are out of first class
stock and imported sires The animas
were accompanied by Messrs. D. & J. P.
Fisher, both of whom know and appreci-
ate a good piece of horseflesh when they
see it. "Dave" is justly proud of his
last shipment, and he has every reason
to be.
Fos DAKOTA. -Two or three hundred
persons assembled at the railway station
on Thursday morning to bid farewell to
the Goderich party bound for Dakota.
Handshaking and kisses were many;
tears, and smiles that meant as much as
tears, were seen op many faces; and as
the train moved off the "Good byes"
were many, and the "best wishes" sin-
cere. It was impossible to get the names
of all the persons in the party; but we
succeeded in getting the following list,
which, we think, is pretty near the
mark: -Mr. Halorow and family, 8; R.
R. Thomson and family, 4; Major
Thomson, son and daughter, 3; J.
Pharis and Miss Pharis, 2; Ben. Wilson
and family, 5; Mrs. Tweedlie and family
and Miss Tweedlie, 5; and Messrs. R.
Jamieson, F. S. Hick, F. Davis, J. O.
Ball, Abraham Cox, A. Gordon and A.
Arthur. This makes 35 in the party
from Goderich alone. Some -passengers
from Lucknow and the township of Col-
borne were also on the train. Reckon-
ing those from Goderich who have left
during the oast nine days, and those who
are expected to follow shortly, the num-
ber of emigrants to Dakota from this
town will be about fifty. Mr. R. Pratt
left on Tuesday, and Mr. J. Tisdale
went last week.
Mr. George Rhynaa has been absent
during the last week or so in Toronto
aid eastern markets, selecting in person
the stock for his new drug store. He
will shortly open out in the corner store
in Blake's Block, at present occupied by
D. C. Strachan, with a splendid new stock
of drugs, etc.
IMPORTED STALLION SOLD. --We are in-
formed that the heavy stallion "Loud
John of Ghent," imported by Mr. Jos.
Fisher, and sold by him last f•11 to D. &
J. P. Fisher & Co., has been disposed of
by the atter to Mr. John Gentles, of
Kincardine, for the handsome sum of
81,760. We understand that Mr. Gen-
tles will travel him in the county of
Bruce during the coming salmon.
Coin uMarrART.-In the annual re
part for 1880 of the Minister of Malta,
a high compliment is paid to the gradu-
ating cadets of the Royal Military Col-
lege, prominent among whom was Mr.
Alexander Ross, son of Col. Ross, M. P.
P., of Goderich. Mr. Ross, who held
the position of Battalion Sergeant
Major, obtained the following distinct-
ions in the final examination: A first
cams certificate, honors in discipline and
drill, special mention in civil engineer-
ing, and prizes in drill and military
exercise, conduct and discipline. The
Commandant alludes to him as one who "in
every way reflects honor on the College,"
and odds that "No county, no service,'
can require better all round men. The
Curnmandant's report also contains the
following causes :
Ie- a sense of oonacientious duty and in
appreciation of the responsibility en-
trusted to them as non-commissioned
officers, and the objects of discipline and
the practical performance of it-, the pre-
sent graduates are, as • whole, superior
to these of June last. These character-
istics are not only the most essential a
non can possess for the military pro-
fession, but the most valuable of all
qualities for any position of importance
and trust in life. In this report the two
senior non-commissioned officers, via,
Sergeant-Major Ross and Straubenzee
have set a high and excellent example.
In the oompetition for the four com-
missions in Her Majesty's Regular Army
available for the year 1881, Sergeant
Laurie, Sergeant-Major Van Stranben-
see, Battalion Sergeant-Major Ross, Cor-
poral Gibson are entitled in the order
named to receive commissions in the
cavalry or infantry. Sergeant Laurie,
Battalion Sergeant-Major Rossand Cor-
poral Gibson, have elected not to accept
the available commissions, preferring to
take their chance of employment in
Canada.
THa LATE AARON, B. McWau.w..-
With deep regret we this week chronicle
the demise of Aaron B. McWilliams, for
the past year and a half proprietor of
the Albion hotel of this town. Mr. Mc-
Williams was born in the township of
Burford, Brant County, and lived the
greater portion of his life in that town-
ship, as his father had done before him.
He had been a suceesaful farmer and
business man in his native section, and
was induced to come to Godench in
1879, through the influence of relatives
residing here. After Mr. McWilliams
assumed control of the "Albion," that
hotel &rad stilly beam* very pop4Lr with
the travelling community, who were al-
ways sure of courtesy and consideration
at the hands of the proprietor and his
assistants. The circumstances of the
disastrous fire at the "Albion," and the
subsequent death of Mr. McWilliams'
younger soli from diphtheria, are fresh in
the minds of the readers of THE fltnv*L
and we need not here reoount them.
After the death of his little boy, and
during the illness of his other children,
Mr. McWilliams was stricken with diph-
theria, and although everything was
done tliat medical skill could do to save
his life, his constitution had been so
undermined that he succumbed on Tues-
day last. The deceased was well known
and highly rospected in this section,
being of an honorable and upright nature,
and of sound business principles
He leaves a wife and two children, to
whom he was devotedly attached, and a
large circle of relatives and friends to
mourn his Inas. The body was followed
to the G. T. R station by the Goderich
and Maitland Lodges of A. F. and A.
M., on Thursday morning last, whence it
was transported to Harford cemetery,
near Brantford, where sleep those of his
ppoppi. who have gone before him. Mrs.
MoWilliams and her two little chiidrew
have the sympathy of the entire com-
munity in their irreparable loom
33RD BATTALION "HOlON. "-Deputy
Adjutant -General Taylor in his report
for 1880, to the Minister of Militia says
of the Huron Battalion of Volunteers:
This fine corps under command of Lt. -
Colonel A. M. Ross, performed annual
drill at the brigade camp, where I in-
spected them and am pleased to make •
very favorable report. The battalion
always has been noted for the physique
of the men, and their appearance at this
camp was as fine as formerly. The men
were well set up and steady in the ranks;
they marched past well and steadily,
and went through the movements on the
brigade field -days in • very creditable
manner. The County of Huron supple-
mented the pay of their battalion this
year, and the battalion showed them-
selves worthy of the liberality. I had
the gtstifcation of presenting to the
Adjutant, Major Henry 'Cooks, on bri-
gade parade, a medal awarded him by
Her Majesty for distinguished service in
the Geld, he having won it for his brav-
ery at the taking of the Takn Forts dur-
ing the last war with Chins The

Meeting Mr. Larmour, Division Su-
perindent of the G. T. R. , at the station
yesterday, we asked :
"Is there any truth in the rumour of
a second elevator being built by the
Grand Trunk in Goderich 1"
Mr. Larmour, eyed us, smiled sug-
gestively, and replied, " W -e -1-1-I
cannot just say. I don't think, how-
ever, that a new elevator will be built
this spring."
It was our turn to smile; and the
diplomatic railway man jumping on the
train to the cry of" Allaboard "' we were
left to our own reflections.

ANOTHER FIRE.
The Stases la craw's Sleek-Ceubeaes's
Pei atlas (Mee ea fire -Swage t. 8ley
meta Salt,
About 12.15 on Thursday morning the
fire alarm rang out its warning, and up-
on investigation it was found that the
fames were making headway in the rear
end of Cathcart's printing office inCrabb's
Block. The firemen were promptly at
their post, and the engine took its place
by one of the tanks on the Square.
A ladder was procured, and Branchman
Curry and his assistants quickly mounted,
entered the burning building, and pour-
ed a heavy stream upon the flames. In
the first attempt to bring up a second
branch to play on the interior of the
burning edifice an accident happened by
the breaking of the ladder, and Branch -
man Robinson came suddenly to the
ground, still holding firmly on to the
" nozzle." A spectator was lighting his
pipe at the door of Butler's billiard hall
when Robinson descended so suddenly,
and his pipe was put out in a very summary
manner by a collision with a full head of
water from the wriggling branch. By
his time the tire had worked its way be-
tweeu the partitions to the third story,
and a long ladder had to be procured so
as W enable the branchmen to follow. .
This was done, but not until the flames
had begun to issue through the roef.
By untiring exertions the fire was- got
under.
The fire is believed to have originated
in a small room or closet, used by Geo.
Cathcart, job printer, who, we are in-
formed, had been in the habit of keep-
ing his ashes there. The flames evident-
ly spread from that spot, and partly by
the fire, but chiefly from falling plaster,
cinders, and water, the contents of the
office were badly " pied. " The landing
above the closet was also badly burnt,
and it is estimated that it will take about
$500 to fully rebuild and plaster that
portion of the building destroyed Mr.
Cathcart is insured for $100 un his stock ;
considerable of which is saved. Mr.
Crabb's loss will be fully covered, he
having an insurauce of $1,000 on that
portion of the block injured by the
fire. Mr. Butler who has his billiard
tables on the ground floor, sustained
heavy loss owing to water from the upper
flat flooding through. No insurance.
Seethed.
A meeting of the managing committee
of the N. 11 T. A. was held in t4eafowth
