TOR,—Talk about refusbag • the Sal- vation Army the privilege of walking our streets with drums and singing. Which is the worst' wonder—the Army who, at a seasonable hour march up and down Main street, making considerable noise it is true, but noise that can be tolerated; or, the crowd of blasphemous, blackguardly roughs who render night hideous as sure as the night conies, -blaspheming and insulting the God who gave them their lives, and thundering np and clown the sidewalks yelling at the top of their voices. Must this con- tinue to be the state of_affairs ? If so, why? YOUrs—FOR PEACE. Tat CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE Uesice-se —The regular meeting of the Viromen's Christian Tetriperaace Union will take place on. Monday at 4 p. m., in the usual place, public school building. A large number of the members of the Union appear to think that when they have entered their name on the member- ship•roll and paid their fee, their duty with regard to the society is quite fin- ished, consequently all the business and -all the work falls on a few. If every Member would feel a personal interest in th-working of the Union and en- deavor te the beat of her abilies to 'd and promote the objects of the society, its influence would be very much more extended than it is at present. —Cale. • FROZEN WHEAT.—Mr. Wm. Crombie, an old Seaforthite, who is. now located in Pembina county, Dakota, writes as follows : I see by your paper several .reports from Manitoba and the _North- west en the frosted wheat question. Many of these are only partially true, as in many places the wheat is much worse frozen than. is reported. I live right at the foot of the Pembina ineuntains, and leurulreds of bushels pass my place every day, and such *heat. The most of it you would not think fit for chicken feed. There were some fields that were never cut, and some cut that were net thresh- ed, Fortunately, however, as high prices are being paid for frosted 'wheat < this year as No. 1 hard brought last. Were it not for this farmers here Would be in a had plight this year, I pan tell you_ place after the ceremony was simply ex- cellent, and the guests depaeted much pleased with the cordiality of the recep- tion.

Memeomees.—Mr. James Lang, for- merly of Rodgerville, lint now an ex- tensive farmer in Manitoba, near Vir- den, was in town this week. Mr. Lang looks well, and still likes the country. He had this year abut4,000 bushels c.f wheat, 800 bushels; of Sete, besides barley aaid peas. The wheat is slightly .frozen, but he expects to sell it for about 50 cents per bushel. His neighbor, Mr. James Elder, has about the sante amount. Mr. Robert Lang, of Oak Lake, has about 7,000 bushels, of which he bad a sample with him, and it is of excellent quality and entirely escaped the frost blight. The grain l in the vicinity of Oak Lake was not in- jured. Mr. Lang likes the climate of Manitoba much better than that of On- tario, as it is much less variable. He also thinks a farmer can make more money in Manitoba., despite all ,draw- backs, than he can in Ontario, and that mane• farmers in his vicinity will soon be about as comfortably situated as the average farmers are in Ontario. —Mr.- Robert Loan, of Carberry, our old townsrnan, paid us a visit this week _ and. placed us under obligations te him for a brace of beautiful, plump prairie chickens. Mr. Logan and 'his partner are extensix-ely engaged in the grain and lumbering business in Carberry, and they have also a private banking house, in whichis done a large business. They ship most of their grain to On- tario-, and a good deal of it is handled by Mr. A. Armitage, of this town. Mr. Logan says Carberry is growing rapidly, and as it is the centre of an ex- cellent agricultural country, promises to be a good town, and had it not been for 'frozen wheat there would have been. a business boom there this year.

' 938 THE MECHANICS' INsTITUTF,. —The send-annuall meeting of the members of the Seaforth Mechanics' Institute was held in the institute rooms on Tuesday evening last. There was a fair attend- ance of members, and the repots of the officers, which were read, show the In- stitute to lie continually inereasing in prosperity and extending its influence and usefulness. The Treasurer's report shows that thus far this year the receipts have amounted to $918 and -the disburse= ments to $485, leaving a balance in the treasury at the present time of $432. It is expected, however, that by the 1st of May next, the end of the fiscal year, this surplus will be reduced to about $320. This; however, is a very en- couraging showing, and proves that ow excellent institution is cOmmencing to be properly appreciated by our citizens, •end that its affairs are Most -efficiently and economically managed by the faith- ful. and pains -taking librarian and sec- retary, Mr. Moore, aided by the corn-. mittee of management. We may state that the surplus wilrbe used in decreas- ing the funded debt of the institute and in increasing its efficiency: From the librarian's report we note that the num- ber of members at this date is 310, the' number at this time last year being 272, _showing an increase of 38, and as an un- usual number of new members have joined the Institute this year, it is to be hoped that when all the subscriptions from the regular members are renewed' that the membership will at the end of the year be considerably more than that of last year, the number thee being .361.. The number of 'books in the library at the date of the last report was 3,656, to. which have been added since last Mar 43, making the total number at the pres- ent time '3,699. The . edditions frpm purchases on account of the curreet year will probably be 200, which will then make, the total number about 2,900. A crewing; class, under the di7 rection of Mr. Crocket, is now in pro • gress and is attended by eightpupils, but it is -hoped the number will be largely increased shortly. An Ele- mentary Class or free night school, kindly taught by Miss Cowan and other ladies, is now in progrees and has an ate tenclance of 25 pupils. The Literary Society, which has been organized under the auspices of the Institute, we referred to last week. It will thug- be seen that the Institute has other idchannels of use- fulness besee those furnished by the lareese _Red comprehensive library and well equipped reeding room. The people of Seaforth and vicinity -have just cause to be proud of their Me- chanics' Institute, and we hope they will continue to show their appreciation of it by continuing to it a generous pat- from,ronage, and thus secure from, it even ms creased benefits. THE HURON EX ing found 'Mr. Fisher at the station waiting but no Auburn was there. The trainttook its departure without the two antietpated passee gees, and juSt about that time it dawncd upon Mr. Fisher's mind that he had been fooled. He com- menced to hunt for.his companion, and invoked the aid of a search warrant, but all the hunting and search we rants in the world couldn't find him in Ingham. He had skipped. 1 It is drawl g it too mild to say that the Deputy 1nspector was angry when he found out hew 'beau- tifully the oily to gued rascal had given him the slip. A ong other suspicious circumstanced co nected with the affair was the fact -that on his return to Wing - ham, Auburn off red to sell Mayor Nee - lands $6' worth f . postage stamps, and he paid a numb4r of accounts around _town with th r s me tender. When ask- ed where he got 1t11e stamps he gave- the very lame excuse that a party who had left town owing him had sent theamount in postage stamps! No trace of the cul- prit has as yet been found, although it is the general impression that h is some- where in, the United States. He had been making arrangements for some time WEDDING Beres.—The marriage of an ekeerned citizen, Mr. John S. Roberts, ; druggist, of Seaforth, to Miss Jessie Poi -ter, third daughter of J. S. Porter, Esq., was consaremated at Egmondville on Wednesday last, and caused no small degree ef excitement, especially among the fair sex. It was the topic of con- versation for daps and weeks prior to the event. The young lady is esteemed ise a universal favorite. Her bright smile, cheerful, uneffected manner, and invarielge kindness of heart has endear- ed her to all classes of the community. It is a pity the ,wedding was not sol- emnized in St. Tlsomas' church instead of being private. The crowded church -would have ahown the enthusiasm meat - ed, and the popularity and esteem in which both the parties are held. As it was they preferred a quiet wedding. This taut, however,- did not prevent troops of friends from Wending their way to the railway station to give them. a good send off. Showers of rice were heapea upon them in token of universal benediction and good -Rill. The bride and groom purpose apending a brief 'to goto Califbrnia, and is probably well on his way there now. On 'Tuesday morning Mayor Neelends received a letter from Auburn, and such e letter ! It was eimply, dated "Michigan," • but the postmark' allowed that it had been mailed at Port Huron on Saturday morn- ing last In it Auburn throws out his opinion of the mayor in a most reckless manner for iasuing the search *errant. His worship is designated by such names as a ' `miserable contemptible scoundrel," a "wretch," "Johnnie," and various , other pet names.. The letter was badly written, the spelling was worse, and the language and sentiments expressed, stamps the anther as i low -live gutter; .snipe. No one would ever drain that 'the mealy -Mouthed 'Sidney Anbur could stoop to write such a blac guardl epistle. Auburn came to Canada thi•eit• years ago, from •Lolidon, Eng., where he! bore the 1m -enviable reputaf n of a street Arab. and transient s uger at variety show. On his arrival at Hamilfr ton he joined the Salvation Army and reinained with that body for a tirne.: He then went td Toronto -where he joined the Lord's Army, of which he as ap- pointed _captain for this division, and in May of last year he . located in Wing- ham.- He appeared to be deeply in earnest over the work he had undertaken, had a hapyy smile and pleasant word for everyone he met, - and earned for himself the sobriquet of "Happy Sid." No one would hardly suspect that any evil - designs : could enter his head, and several suspiaous circumstances in which he was supposed to be concerned were overlooked. For some time past he has taken a less•active part in Army irtatters and some speculation has been indulged in as to how he managed to live, but no one could tell. It is to be hoped that the sanctimonious scamp will be captur- ed and awarded the punishment he so richly deserves. , ' LOCAL BRIEFS.—Mr. John O'Sullivan informs us that the report to the effect that he was an applicant for the position of Revising Barristers' Clerk for South Huron is entirely incorrect. —Mr. Thos.

The matter was kept quiet for a time, but the secret of • his mission soon got out Mr. Fisher ' arrived in town on, Wednesda,y evening and. at once pro-/ ceeded to interview tfCaptain" Sidney Auburn, otherwise kpown as "Happy Sid," at the residenCe of Mrs. McCul- lough,.on Minniestreetwhere he board- ed. It zeems that a couple of weeks ago a mail bag was robbed at Kippen, Auburn was suspected of being the rob- ber, and the Inspector told him so. Auburn remained perfectly cool,but was emphatic in his denial of the accusation, and to prove his innocence he suggested that he should go to Kippen with the DePuty Inspector in the morning and face those who lied dared to su gest his honeymoon in New York and eastern name in connection with the a air. He knew he could free hirrisell of the charge' etc., and So on. Mr. Fisher thought that Auburn was sincere to a- certain - - extent.
