DISTWOr MATTERS.
Mar airaoerfare —The Dodge City Dem- •
secret, Kansas, of the 15th inst., has the
following;
Martaren.—At the residence of Mrs. & Jus-
tin, in this city, on Saturday evening, May 8,
1886, Mr. Fred Hallett and Miss Christina %Yen-
ning, Judge Crumbaugh officiating.
The wedding was a very quiet affair,
only a few of their most intimate friends
being present. Mr. Hallett is well
known in this city as a. sober and in-
dustrious young man. He has been in
the employ of Mr. Cox, of the Dodge
arouse, for several years and is highly
esteemed by his employer. Miss Wen-
ning has resided in this city for the, past
year, the greater portion of that time
being spent with Mrs. Justin in the
millinery store. She is a young lady
of excellent qualities, and is highly
iesteemed by all who know her.
Eetranaantsinser.—A very pleasant
two hours were spent in the rooms of
the Young Men's Christian Association
on Friday evening last, on the occasion
of the musical and literary entertain-
ment given under the auspices of the
Ladiee Auxiliary of the Association.
The room was crowded by a most intel-
ligent and appreciative audience. The
shair wasefficiently occupied by Mr. Wm.
Logan. Musical eelections, vocal and
instrumental, were given by Mrs. J. A.
Wilson, Mrs. Pyper and Mrs. Bright,
and Misses Johnson and Broley, and. by
Messrs. J. A. Wilson, Pyper, Kent,
33right and Brownell. Miss Ewing pre-
sided at the organ. Readings were
given by Mrs. Kirkman, and Messrs.
McCaughey, D. Watson and Bright.
Mr. Abrams, of Toronto, who happened
to be present, gave a couple of selections
en the zyther, which pleased the audi-
ence very much. Rev. Mr. McDonald
else delivered a short but practical ad-
dress. The proceedings closed with a -
note of thanks to the ladies and gentle-
men. who took part in the entertainment.
THE LATE MRS. KFATING.—Last week
we trade reference to the serious allness
of Mrs. P. Keating, of this town. We
have this week to record her death,
which sad event took place on Saturday
last, at the early age of 28 years. She
was a daughter of Mr. Patrick McCon-
Nell, of Hibbert, and. during her resi-
dence in Seaforth had by her kindly and
,generous disposition made many true
friends. Her death is a sad berea,vment
to her relatives and friends but will be
felt most keenly by the afflicted - hus-
band who is left with an infant only a
few days olcl at the time of its mother's
death. The funeral took place on Sab-
bath morning, the services being held in
St. James' church, and although at the
early hour of 9 a. m., were witnessed by
a large concourse of people. The. re-
snains were iuterred in the Irishtown
cemetery, and the very large number
who followed them to their last resting
place showed unmistakably the esteem
in which the deceased had been held
and the sympathy felt for the mourning
relations. The funeral procession was
corapoeed of 102 vehicles.

OTTR BOYS AT WOODSTOCK. —A team
composed of members of the Seaforth
High School Foot Ball Club visited
Woodstock on Monday last and played
a match with the "Excelsior" club of
that town, and, as is usual with Sea -
forth, gained a splendid vihtory. The
Seaforth team was composed of the fol-
lowing lads: James Killoran, Robert
Fairley, David and Wm. --McDonald,
Allan McLean, R. Livingstone, R.
Jackson, R. Cresswell, J. McFadzean,
W. Hammill and Walter Willis. They
were accompanied by Mr, C. McKay,
one of the masters of the High School.
The Secretary has kindly furnished, us
with the following report of the match:
At the outset Woodstock captured the
ball and made it lively for Seaforth's de-
fence, but the tables were soon turned,
and the ball visited the other end of the
field, where it remained until J. Kil-
loran, seizing an opportunity, put it
through, giving Seaf*th one goal.
Woodstock took the kick off, but the
Seaforth defence, wrestling the ball from
them, sent it into the vicinity of the
Woodstock goal and A. McLean kicked it
neatly between the posts, adding an-
other goal to Seaforth's score. Again
Woodstock took the kick off and tried
to redeem their lost honors, but in vain,
as the Seaforth defence was too strong
for them. After some exciting play in
mid field half time was called, much to
the relief of Woodstock, as the wind
would now be in their favor. A few at-
tacks were made on Seaforth's goal,
giving the goal -keeper, R. Fairley, an
opportunity to show his skill, which he
did by stopping a very swift shot, and
then by a long throw sending the ball
up the field. The Seaforth forwards
now bilged the Woodstock goal, and
after repeated attacks, W. McDonald,
by a low, swift shot sent the ball
through, thus giving Seaforth the
match by 3 goals to -0.
The Queen's Birthday in
Seaforth.
For many years Seaforth was justly
famed for the excellence of its Queen's
Birthday celebrations. Of late years,
however, the custom of having a suit-
able' celebration on this day was al-
lowed to drop, partly because there was
no, suitable grounds on which to hold
athletic and other sports, and partly be-
cause there was no, organization to take
the matter., up.— This year, however,
the custom was again renewed, the Di-
rectors of the Recreation Grounds' Ass-
sociation taking the ihitiatiae. We are
glad to say the result fairly justified
their expectations. There was a fair
attendance of people present and there
was a good day's sport. The varioue
games, however, did not fill so well as
the liberal prizes, offered would justify,
and as a result the competition was not
so keen as if there had been a greater
number of competitors, and the pro-
ceedings dragged out to a greater
length than if the entries had been
made in proper time, and the sports
proceeded with in rapid succession, one
after the other. The eneouragement
received, however, is sufficient to justify
the society in , making an additional
effort next year. The following is a list
of the successful competitors

The proceedings of the day were ter-
minated by a concert given under the
auspices of the Seaforth Band. The
audience was small, but the entertain-
ment was very good.
On the whole, the day passed over
very pleasantly. The weather was
favorable, and there was no undue noise
or disturbance of any kind. Several of
the business buildings were decorated
with the "flag that's braved a thousand
years," and the Seaforth band made
music for all at intervals during the day,
both on the grounds and on the street.
We hope that next year increased efforts
will be made to get up even a more suc-
cessful demonstration, which will afford
our people suitable amusements at home,
and thus prevent them from going else-
where for that which we should furnish
them ourselves.

visit on the Twenty -Fourth. --Things
were very quiet around -town, unless for
the cricket match on that day.—Court
of Revision was held pn Tuesday even-
ing last. There were over 50 appeals to
the Court, most of which were for per-
sons neglected to be put on the assess-
ment roll by the assessor, and for pro-
perties missed, there being something
like 16 lots miseed by that official,
amounting in value to about $3,000.
The lady voters were also disfranchised,
the same as in Toronto, but on appeal
some 16 were corrected.

wards. As a guarantee that my chal-
lenge is genuine, I have deposited $5

also have plenty of furniture manufac-
turers. While here they would not
have met with such a vigorous opposi-
tion, but we hope they will drop no
money, for they ate all deserving men.
—Mr. John Hogg has decided to join
his family in the Northwest, where part
of them precededhim some little time

week that Mr. Jehn Haagen had sold
his farm on the 12th concession, but we
Were in error as to the purchaser. The
farm was sold to Mr. Anthony Boyd for
the sum of $5,300 and it contains 75
acres. This is a high figure but it is an
excellent farm and Well worth the
money. Mr. Hargan gets this year's

perty of 225 acres.
A PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT. --On
Tuesday evening last Mr. R. Philips
gave one of his Illustrated Lectures in

when the spacious building was crowded
beyond its seating capacity. In recog-
nition of the superior character of the
entertainment, not only as regards
scenic display, but 11186 in relation to
the graphic delineation of each projec-
tion given by Mr. Philips, the following
resolution was unanihmusly carried:
"Moved by P. DeCantillon, Esq., and
seconded by George Holland, Esq., that
this meeting desires to express its high
appreciation of the comparative excel-
lence of the pictorial illustrations given
by Mr. Philips, and also of the moral
and instructive features of the accom-
panying lecture, as affording a large
amount of scientific and literary infor-
mation and being largely an incentive to
our young people towards emulation in
the paths of study and that a copy of
this resolution be forwarded for publi-
cation to the HURON' EXPOSITOR." Mr.
Phillips, in a few pithy and appropriate
remarks, especially eulogizing the good
order and marked attention given by
the audience, then closed the entertain-
ment.

Chiselhuriit.
SPORTIVE.—An unusually large num-
ber assembled in the aillage on the
Twenty -Fourth to witness the game of
ball between the "Texas Rangers" of
Usborne and the "Mountain Goats"
fieni the village. The match was very
evenly contested, resulting in a victory
for the home team by one run, which
was owing, no doubt, to the ground
being a little rough, and the " Goats "
thereby obtaining a slight advantage.
After the. match the teams engaged in a
tug-of-war, which again resulted in a
victory for the home team. The sports
were brought to a close with a tug-of-
war between the spectators, W. Kers-
lake, our genial blacksmith, and J.
Fitzgerald acting as captains. Although
Mr. Fitzgerald and his men pulled well,
they had at length to succumb to the
blacksmith and his assistants.

QU EE N '8 BIRTHDAY.—There was a
large crowd of people in town on Mon-
day last. There was net much in the
way of amusements beyond the horse
races, and these were unusually late in
starting. The first race on the Driving
Park was the green trot, for horses that
had never won prize money. There
were six entries, as follows: McLean's
Honest Bob, Tipling's Chestnut George,
McLe,an's Molly B., Erwin's Little
Arthur, Jonathan Miller's Honest John,
Snell's Poor Girl. The heats were trot-
ted in 3.05, 3.06, 3.02-a and 3.03 respec-
tively. Little Arthur took three, Chest-
nat George two, Honest -John and
Honest Bob being even. There was
cOnsiderable dispute over this race, and
a protest entered against Little Arthur
an the ground that he had won money
before. The colt race was the only
other one trotted. The entries for it
were Auctioneer, Grey Bill, Minnie and
Molly B. The winners were Mollie B.,
Minnie and Auctioneer, Grey Bill not
trotting. The Doherty Band was pres-
ent in the Park during the afternoon.
The judges were Messrs. W. Dixon,
Brucefield John Torrance, Varna, and
John Currie, Goderich. Gate receipts
were nearly $200. To the most casual
observer it was quite evident during the
day, that the provisions of the Scott Act
were violated with impunity.—New Era,

_ church came 'off on the evening of the
24th inst. Although the crowd was not
large all seemed to enjoy themselves
nicely, and went home happy, having
got the worth of their 25 cents.

BASE BALL.—Quite an interesting
base ball match was Played here on
Tuesday evening between the scholars of
School Section No. 1, Hay, and the
Metropolitans, of this village, resulting
in a victory for the scholats by 8 runs,
the score standing 20 to 12.
A QUIET DAY.—The Twenty -Fourth
of May passed off very quietly, the day
was observed as a holiday and nearly all
our villagers took advantage of the
cheap railway fares to visit our neigh-
boring villages and towns where celebra-
tiona were being held, quite a number
also went to the city of London, there
to witness the Caledonian Games.
OUR SOCIAL.—The social held in the
manse on Monday evening under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society in
connection with the Presbyterian church
proved a grand success. The evening
being fine, at an early hour the manse
was well filled, and later on was crowded
to its utmost capacity. After all pres-
ent were comfortably seated, the ladies
proceeded to serve the refreshments,
which they had in abundance and of
excellent quality, and after all had
partaken of the good things pro-
vided the literary and musical part
of the evening's entertainment was com-
menced, Mr. J. Sutherland occupying
the chair. Time and space alike forbid
us giving anything like an extended
account of the manner in which the long
and varied programme was carried out,
but this we will say that all the musical
selections, readings and recitatims were
alike well chosen and well rendered. The
proceeds, at the nominal sum of 10 cents
admittance for children and 15 cents for
adults, amounted to $25.
Zurich.
HOME AGAIN.—Rev. S. Becker and
wife arrived home from Buffalo last
week, where they had been visiting
relatives and friends. They spent a very
pleasant time.—Mr. David Schleuchter
returned a few days ago from Michigan,
where he had been visiting his brothers
and sister. He speaks favorably of the
country.
THE TWENTY-FOURTH. —There was no
celebration here on the Queen's Birth-
day, and the day passed very quietly.
Some went to Clinton and others went
to Exeter to view the elephant exhibited
in these places. Our junior photographer
and.telegraph operator, Mr. Fred Hess,
won the first prize in the two mile
bicycle race , at Exeter. The one who
came in next to him had a 54 inch wheel
while Freddie only had a 50 inch wheel.
This speaks well for the pluck and en-
durance of the Zurich boys. Germans
are bound to come out at the head of the
heap wherever they go.
BRIEFS.—Mr. John Sherritt has moved
for Dr. Buchanan the building he recent-
ly purchased from Mr. P. Hauch, on to
his lots, and it is to be fitted up for a
dwelling house. Mr. Sherritt has also
the contract of moving and raising the
barns and houses of Messrs. E. Gies and
and W. F. Schwalm.—There will be no
service in the Evangelical church next
Sabbath forenoon as there is quarterly
meeting at Dashwood.—Mr. Jacob Gel-
man raised his new barn last Wednes-
day. This was the first raising of the
season.—Mr. Simon Geigher is, at pres-
ent here with his parents. He has
bought land in Michigan, where he in-
tends to make his future home.

Bluevale.
ACCIDENT.—On Friday last Robert N.
Duff, of the firm of Reading & Duff, met
with a very serious accident in their
saw mill. The belt which drives the
shingle saw becoming somewhat loose,
he was putting rosin on it to tighten it
up, when by some means his hand got
caught, pulling it around the pulley and
breaking his arm between the elbow and
wrist. It is a bad break, but it is for-
tunate he was not killed as he might
have been.
THE REVIVALISTS.—The Savage Band
held meetings last Sabbath, both in the.
fore and aft,ernoon,in Diment's grove,and
they were attended by such a crowd of
people as have not been seen in Bluevale
for a long time. It is stated the Band
are about through with their meetings
here for the present, and I am convinced
that every right thinking person will
admit that they have done a great deal
of good in this place. It is astonishing
the change for the better that has appar-
ently been made in a great many people,
and the hope of all is that the improve-
ment will be lasting, and not merely
spasmodic, as many predict.
Oen CELEBRATION.—Bluevale had a
gala day as usual on the 24th of May.
Quoit pitching was to start at half -past
nine, but owing to the neglect of the
management there was nothing got ready
for the play and this part of the pro-
gramme had to be abandoned. The ether
games started at 1 o'clock, and upoh the
whole were successful. There was con-
siderable lack of competition, but, still
great interest was manifested in the
proceedings. The following is a list of
the successful competitors: Standing
jump, G. Musgrave, 11 feet 91 inches.
Standing hop, step and jump, G. Mus-
grave, 30 feet n inches; 2nd; S. J. Mc -
Hardy, 29 feet 3 inches. Three standing

R. Linton. Throwing the base ball,
Jas. Perry and Jackson. This finished
the day's proceedings. The judges,
Messrs. A. M. Musgrave, Jas. Thomp
son and Frank Scott, gave the best satis-
faction in all cases. The band concert
in the evening was in every respect a
grand success, and the receipts amount-
ed to $60. Last, but not least, -was the
"social hop" held at Johnston's hotel,
at which there were about forty couples,
and judging by the time in the morning
the affair broke up we. should fancy all
enjoyed themselves.

West Huron Teachers'
Institute.
West Huron Teachers' Institute was
held at Exeter on Friday and Saturday
last, and was fairly well attended. The
President, in his opening address, dwelt
at considerable length on the course of
reading as recommended by the Minister
of Education, and strongly advised the
formation of reading circles. His sug-
gestions in this respect being universally
approved of by the convention, a com-
mittee • was appointed to prepare a
scheme for the carrying out of these
reading circles.
Mr. A. S. Case gave an interesting
paper on "Errors in the Use of Lan-
guage," which elicited an animated and
useful discussion. Miss Halse gave an
admirable lesson on "Theory of Music,"
with a class. Dr. Rollins gave an ex-
cellent address on "School Hygene,"
and dealt with the subject in an un-
usually practical manner. On Friday
Mr. Houston, M. A., of Toronto, gave
a conversational lecture on "Good Eng-
lish," and on Saturday he dealt with
the subject of ‘` Spelling Reform."
Both addresses were full of interest and
were well received. The committee Hi -
pointed on the reading circle question
reported, recommending as follows, and
their report was adopted:
I. Your committee recommend that
the inspectorate be divided into districts
or centres, and that each teacher be
allowed to connect himself with any
circle or centre.
II. That six books be read and dis-
cussed before the October meeting of
the Institute, viz.: Hopkins, a itch,
Fairyland of Science, Physiography,
Julius Cmsar and Nicholas Nickleby.
III. That the centres for the reading
circles be Crediton, Exeter, Winchelsea,
Zurich, Varna. Holinesville, Goderich,
Carlow, Kintail, Dungannon and Luck -
now.
IV. That the Inspector send a circu-
lar to each teacher, explaining the de-
cisions of the Institute, giving the ob-
jects of the reading ciacles, and asking
teachers to connect themselves with one
of the reading circles.
V. That each circle meet on the sec-
ond Saturday of June, at 2 p. m.
VI. That the, organization of each
circle be left with the menibers of that
circle.
VII. That the chairman of each circle
find out at the first meeting how many
copies of each of the six works will be
taken by that circle and report at once
to the Inspector, and that these books
be purchased by the general committee
at thebest rates, and forwarded to the
centres at which the circles meet.
Mr. Morgan was appointed delegate to
the Provincial Association. Votes of
thanks were given to Mr. Mauston, the
Inspector and others who had assisted
in the proceedings, after which the In-
stitute adjourned to meet at Goderich
in October.
On Friday evening Mr. Houston de-
livered a very able lecture in the Main
Street Methodist church on "_The
School and the State." It was listened
to by a very large audience, and all
seemed to be much pleased with it.
The proceedings were also varied by
well rendered musical selections by the
united choirs of Exeter.
The Wicked in a Rage.
DEAR EXPOSITOR,—I notice by your
issue of last week that a "McKillop
Councillor" rushes to the rescue of
himself and colleagues to --deny my
statement that the said council were in-
duced to pass the wine and beer reso-
lution by the powerful argument brought
by the Seaforth delegation that waited
on them at the said meeting. I have no
doubt but the members of this very im-
portant body known as the McKillop
council would like very well to know
who " Ratepayer " is that they might
flay him alive for exposing some of
their little foibles. I am sorry, that while
I expose their acts I can not now grati-
fy their curiosity. And, I want to say
just here, that I have nothing against the
gentlemen from Seaforth, nor did I find
fault with their action,nor with the par-
ticular kind of argument they used to in-
fluence the council. They evidently
knew the weakness of the men they had
to deal with, and not wishing to induce
the proprietor of the hotel where the
meeting was . held to break the law by
furnishing the necessary argument, they
took it with them and administered, it to
the councillors themselves. For this, I
think they are rather to be commended
than otherwise. You know, Mr. Editor,
it is not a violation of the law for a man
to carry liquor in his pocket, and even
treat his friends if he likes, but it is a
violation of law for a hotel keeper to sell
liquor, and hence in this respect the
gentlemen who composed this particular
delegation were more particular than the
members of the MeKillop council usually
are. So the less "Councillor" says about
this matter, the better for himself and
colleagues. "Councillor " assumes that
because a majority of the people of Me-
Killop voted against the Scott Act when
it was submitted to them that therefore
the council were justified in passing a

resoliktio i asking Parliament to amend
this Act o as to perinit the sale o1. wine
and beer. But, your correspondent evi-
dently f rgets that this question was
not, in a y sense an issue at the munici-
pal elect ons, and councillors were not
elected tol deal with it either in one way
or the other, and consequently they
should no have dealt with it without first
having ben requested to do so by their
conatitue ts. But they were elected to
deal withi all matters of municipal gov-
ernment, and on these Stibjects it is
quite co petent for them to act without
further nstructions from those who
elected t em, and for whom in matters
of this kind they are delegated_ to act.
Does "Councillor" see the point? Sup-
posing, for instance, the Canada Pacific
Railway Company desired to get an-
other grant of $25,000,000 from -Parlia-
ment, a al they asked the municipal
councils tto memorialize Parliament to
that effec , would councillors be justi-
fied in doing so, even supposing it
was in 4ccordance with their own pri-
vate convictions that the company should
have- the! money? The council would
have justi as much right to act in the one
case as U the other.
Your cerrespondent further says every,
person kaew the meeting was called for
the express purpose of passing this reso-
lution. The facts are, the previous
naeeting was adjourned until the 25th of
May, and was so advertised, and no
public notice was given of the holding -
of this Meeting, and the minutes of it
have not even yet been made public.
Will " Clouncillor " please explain the
reason foe this secrecy if everything was
square arid above -board. Yours truly,
