'Dickson, of MeKillop, passed his third year examination, and, Messrs T. M. Higgins and W. Prendergast passed the second year examination. Mr. Dick- son took first-class honors in physics; Mr. Prendergast took first-class honors in mathematics, and Mr. Higgins first- class honors in mental science. All these geatlemen received their elementary training in. the Seaforth High School. In the third year, of the 90 who went up for examination 11 were rejected, and of 103 in the second year, 30 failed to pass. THE EGMONDvILLE BRIDGE. - The Egmoralville bridge has been removed so as to enable the contractors to raise the stone piers preparatory to the erec- tion of the new iron superstructure. This improvement is not being under- taken any too soon, as the old bridge was in a very frail state. For the in- formation of parties corning to town from that direction we might say that they will get a good. safe crossing by keeping east along the street past Mr. Daly's hotel until they come to the tannery bridge. It is only a short dis- tance around, and teams with any :or- dinary load can easily get across and will not need to ford the river. This bridge has been renewed and made per- fectly safe for public travel. THE LATE MRS.

R(1YAL TEmrLARs OF TesirERANcE.- The entertainment given in the town hal here on Tuesday evening last, under the auspices of the Royal Tempters of Temperance, was not very largely at- tended,but those who were present were well repaid for their trouble. The chair was occupied by Mr. James Beattie, and a very interesting musical and literary prograinme was given. Readings were given by Mrs. C. Lawrie and Messrs. Bright and Watson, and Mrs. Pyper and Miss Braley, and Messrs. Pyper and Kent sang a couple of quartettes very nicely and Mr. Henry Willis gave a u ell executed organ solo. The principal fea- ture of the evening, however, was the address by Mr Buchanan, of Hamilton, Grand Secretary of the order. Mr. Buchanan is a fluent and pleasing speak- er, and thoroughly understands his sub- ject. He explained the objects of the order to be to furnish a scheme which would at once promote the temperance cause and secure cheap and efficient life insurance to its members. He instanced the good work which had hitherto been done by temperance lodges such as the Good Templars,Sons of Temperance,&c., but it had been found that the work in t lit se lodges devolved mainly upon the Young, arid it was almost impossible to retain in them the older members. These, he said, drifted into other beneficiary - societies, and while many of them still retained their temperance principles, they had. no -opportunity in connection with these societies to aid in temperance work. The object of the Royal Templars of Temperance is,therefore to forma bene- ficiary society, which will have for its prime object the promotion of the tem- perance cause. For a small monthly con- tribution the society insures to its mem- bers the payment of $5 per week as sick benefits and a payment of from $500 to $2,000 to the heirs of a member at his decease. And none are allowed. in con- nection with the society who are not total abstainers and of established good moral character. In this way a very much cheaper rate of life insurance is fur- nished members than can be got in regue lar inssirance companies, and the mem- bers are enabled to profit by their ab- stemious habits, as it has been proven by experience that the death rate is very much less among, total abstainers than among even moderate drinkers. • The society is, no doubt, a most deserving one, and, if properly managed, as it seems now to be, will secure for its members a safe and cheap system of life insurance. And to insure his life is a duty which every person owes to his family and those depending upon him, and it should not be neglected. • CENTRAL GROCERY. -The proprietors of the Central still lead in keeping up the stand- ard of excellence in the quality of Groceries,pur aim beinz to procure the best in the market and avoid all inferior and falsely so called cheap trash.

THAT SPECIAL MEETING. -MR. EDI- TOR, -Having read an article in THE EXPOSITOR from "One of the Council," and another' in the Seaforth Sun headed "Misleading Statements Corrected," it is evident that I am the person accused of being the author of the two communi- cations signed "Ratepayer." I ask the favor of space itt your paper to correct these false statements in regard to my- self. I have good reason to believe the same individual inspired both arti- cles accusing me of publishing false- hoods regarding a special meeting of council held lately in this township. I have not had 'anything whatever to d� with either of the communications signed "Ratepayer," nor would I take any part in the controversy only in self-defence, and "One of the Council" may find he has wakened up the wrong man. As I am not the author of any of the charges against the council. or against the two gentlemen - from Seaforth, I shall only deal with the misstatements made in regard to myself. There is not a word of truth in the statement that the other Reeve and myself ran as Scott Act can- didates at the last municipal election, and I challenge him or any other man to prove it. Nor is it true that I partake of liquor on every opportunity, as I signed the pledge some time ago, .and I -intend to keep it; he • also signed a solemn pledge to abstain from all intoxi- cating liquors, but he broke it and went back to wallowing in the mire. Now, _ .; sir, if "One of the Council" will spare a little time from his mud throwing and yelping on the scent to" answer the fol- lowing questions, thepublicwill be en i - abled to judge what influenced the coun- cil : Who served the clerk with a notifi- cation of the special meeting of the coun- cil? -What other gentleman served severet of the council with notifications ;of meeting? Who solicited the meeting of council for the purpose of passing said resolution? Was it for the benefit of the ratepayers or the two gentlemen from Seaforth the resolution was passed? What other influence besides the liquor influence was present at said meeting? What time did it take the council to pasksaid resolution, and at what time of the morning did he get home? Candid answers to the above will much oblige, yours, WILLIAM CASH. Staffa. LOCAL DOTS. -Mr. John Saddler, who owns the saw and cider mills of this place, has purchased the grist mill, which is under the present manage- ment of the Hoskin Brothers, of Exeter, from Robt.

Messrs. J. Blatchford, sr., J. Scott and J. Wright are our village pathmasters, and we believe will prove by their good management itt the way of improving the streets and sidewalks, that they are the right men in the right place. In fact, Mr. Scott, who was the first to start work, has already done Much in the way of improving the streets /raid sidewalks in his beat, and we are pretty certain that Messrs. Blatchford and Wright, our old and respected townsmen, will not let Mr. Scott take much if any of the lead in the way of making needed repairs and improve- ments and beautifying our village. iMINISTERIAL CHANGES. -The Revs. vIestra J.

Hackney, each have had some runaway experit CDOCS, but no serious damage is reported being done beyond the smashing of hail ness, gates, fences, &c., and badly scar- ing the participants in the last adven- ture, which occurred on Sunday while the folks were going to church.
