PRIZE Lin` ConatEeerroNs.—We have
been natified of the following errors
which have occurred in the several show
prize lists already published: At Brus-
sela show Mr. Robert McDonald was
credited with lst for general purpose
colt, for three year old gelding in the
same class ancl Dorking chicks, instead of
Wm. Grieve.—At Exeter show Mr.
Thomas Bissett was credited with let
for the speCial roadster team, instead of
Alex. Forsythe. Charles Frayne was
credited with 2nd prim for large or
medium young SOAV and boar, instead of
Charles Troyer. James Cooper was
credited with lst for red fall wheat and
1st for small peas, instea.el of Joseph
Hudson. At the same show Mary
Wood took lat and. 2nd prize for wax
work, instead of Robert Stewart, as
*stated in the Iist.
A CLEVER STUDENT.—At the recent
annual presentation of prizes to the
successful scholars at the Toronto Col-
legiate Institute, Miss Alice Willson,
niece of Mr. O. C. Willson and Mrs.
James &tett, of this town'was awarded
the Lanadowne Medal which was pre-
sented by the Governor-General of Can-
ada as an award for general proficiency
, at the second-class examinations of the
Education Department. In presenting
the medal to Miss Willson, the Mayor
stated that this prize was competed for
by boys and girls alike, and as the suc-
cessful student walked up to receive the
prize she was loudly applauded by the
boys, who, although they had been beat-
en by their fair competitor, gave her a,
generous appreciation. Miss Willson
also won the scholarship presented by
the Maye-r of Toronto for general pro-
ficiency at the recent half -yearly exam-
ination in the third and fourth forms on
the girls' side. Miss Willson is evi-
dently a clever student, and she is only
la years of age.
COMiNG TO TITEIR INHERITANCE,
Matiy of the readers of the Expositor
- will be glad to hear the following : An
Association has been formed. isy the
heirs of the Lawrence Townley and
Chase estates in order toobtain their
rights. • They have authorized :MrsaS.
H. Blake of Toronto to attend, to their
interests, -ais,d as soma as the money can
be collected for the purpose; he will
- proceed to England on his mission.
The value of the estates is said to be at
least a20,000,000 sterliug, and consists
of both money and handed property.
The number of heirs is about one hun-
dred and fifty. We are -glad to states
that the following persons are -.of the
fortunate number: Mrs. Francis Crich
of Seaforth; Mrs. F.. Tamblyn of Bran-
don, Manitoba ; Mr. Stewart Johnston
of Listowel. Their mother Mrs. Sid-
ney Johnston of Brandon, being of the
family of Lawrence, also Ella Willis
daughter of R. Willis Esq., of Seaforth.
We congratulate our friends on their
prospeca, a.nd hope they. will soon be
in possession of their inheritance.
THE HIGH SCHOOL BY -LAW. --The,
Mayor has called a meeting of the rate-
payers for this evening to consider the
proposed by-law to raise money to in-
crease the efficiency of the High School.
Wb hope this meeting will be largely
attended, so that a full and free discus-
sion of the subject may be had and that
any objections to the proposed scheme
may be answered. The voting takes
place on Monday. Every voter should
-turn out and record his vote. It is a
matter of ,very great importance to the
town. Oar town is now prospering and
it should be the desire, as st is to the in-
terest of every property holder to con-
tinue that prosperity. An efficient High
Schoiol is an important factor to this end,
and, as we have already shown, our
High School can only retain its position
in the front rank by the expenditure of
the money for which the by law asks.
And, although the immediate outlay
will be considerable, the increased re-
ceipts will equal the interest on the ex-
penditure, so that we can really have
the increased efficiency without any
really additional cost to the ratepayers.
Besides this, we must keep up with our
neighbors. The people of Clinton have
carried their by-law for a similar pur-
pose, and if our High School is not kept
at least on a par with theirs, the Clin-
ton School will reap the benefit, and our
town will be placed at a disadvantage in
a, competition with its principal rival.
Let every property owner, therefore,
turn out and vote for the by-law on
Monday.
- TILE YOUNG LIBEIL,AL C1.11$.. — A
Meeting to complete the organization of
a Scaforth Young Liberal Club was
held in the Temperance hall here last
Monday evening, amd was largely at-
tended. From the number present and
from the great interest manifested in
the proceedings, the success of the or-
ganization is already assured. Several
older members of the Reform party ad-
dressed the meeting and rendered as-
sistance in forming the association. The
officers elected are all young men from
whom efficient work may be expected,
and there is every reason to believe that
the club which has been started under
such favorable eireumstanCea will have a
most successful career. The following
were elected : Honorary President, Sir
R. J. Cartwright, M. P.; President, Mr.
J. A. Wilson; Vice -President, North
Ward, Mr. Jas. Watson.; Vice -Presi-
dent, Eest-Ward, Mr. J. Darwin; Vice -
President, South Ward, Mr. Alexander
Wilson; Secretary, Mr. W. C. Smith ;

Messrs. W. J. Fear, J. M. Best,
Chas. McKay, G. E. Henderson, Jas.
Scott, W. 0. Reid, If. G. Mackid, L.i
E. Dancey and Wm. McKay. Itiwaa
decided to have a formal opening in thel
latter part of the present month, and to
secure the presence of leading menabers
of the. Dominion Parliament and Local
Legislature. The regular -meetings. of
the club -will be held fortnightly, and an
interesting programme Will be prepared

THE ANTI -HOME RULER :i IN CLINTON.
—Rev. Dr. Kane and Mr. George H.

INSURANCE.—We hav received fr
Mr. Michael McQuade al second letter
reply to one which appeared some ti
ago from Me. Shannon, !Secretary of
McKillop Company. This letter, wh
by the way, is entirely tool. lengthy
our columns, is largely an effort to pr
that the Grange Insurance Company,
which Mr. McQuade is an agent, is
more profitable compa4- for farmers
insure in than the Mckillop Compa
is. Without wishing to interfere
tween Mr. Shannon and ' Mr. McQua.
we •May say, that despite all Mr. j
Quade may say or attempt to provb
the contrary, the system upon whic
McKillop Company is formed and
ducted is the safest and cheapest sy
of insurance for farmers that can as
bly be devised. It is the safest be aa
it is backed up by the Security of t
farmers themselves, and it is the c
est because nothing is collected e
to pay actual losses an
expenses. Neither the
other company can be
cheaply than this. Besides this,
managed by, men elected annually
among themselves, by the insurers
company, atid the money collecte
kept at home instead of being
away. / If any of the rules are- objee
able, such as that which requires
company to pay only tw
loss on contents of build
hers of the company
entirely in their own
amend such rules at any nnualmee
so that,. instead of bei4g governe
foreigners or strangers, pf whom
knova nothing, they ha$Te the ma
n hands.
o their ad
wn local
interested
ties may say to the contrary.

THE NORTH HURON TEACHERS' IN-
STITI:TE.—The semi-annual meeting of
the North Auron Teachers' Association
was held in the public school building in
this tofm, on Thursday and. Friday of
last week. We have received from the
official reporters of the association a full
report of the proceedings, but it came to
hand too late to permit of its being pub-
lished this week. IloWever, the meeting
was. largely attended -lay teachers and
others more immediately ipterested in
educational work. Several excelle,nt
and thOughtful papers on various sub-
jects were read and all Were exhaustive-
ly discussed. It was expected that Dr.
McLellan of Toronto would be preaen
to take part in the proceedings, bu
owing to illness he was unable to attend,
much to the disappointmeet of all. A
resolution was passed that one common
text book and only one be Authorized
for use in the High Schools and that th
examiner be instructed to adhere closely]
to this text book in the preparation of
examination papers. This is a much
needed improvement, and we hope e
will be adopted by the ed'ucational de
pantment as it will save expense to par-
ents and will obviate much injustice to
pupils who may be candidates at eaamil
nations. Mr. Groves, of Wingharna wh
has for several years very, efficientl
filled the position of Secretary, resigrie
that position, and Mr. A. M. )Burehill
of Blyth, a thoroughly competent gentle
man,- was elected in his stead. • 0

were well rendered., while the orchestra
composed of Messrs. J. A. Wilson, A. J.
Willson, 1. 0. Keine) and .j. 'jE. Kent,
and Mrs. J. A. Wilsam on the piano,
gave a couple of beautiful instramental
selections. The Broom Brigade was
something new to most of the audieace,
and was much appreciated. Lastly, the
singing of the children, their tasteful
dress and gradation on the platform, the'
well-nigh perfect precision of movement
in club swinging, all went to shoWsrnuch
ability in the manner of dealing with
juveniles of tender years, on thel part of
the Seaforth pub& school teachers, no-

MISSIONARY MEETING.—A missionary
meeting was held in, the Unien Presby-
terian church . on Friday evening last.
The attendance was good, but not what
it should have been, considering the fine
evening and excellent condition of the
roads. The meeting was addressed by
Revs. Dr. Ure, of Goderich ; Forrest, of
Bayfield; Catriere, of Grand Bend, and
Acheson, of Kippen. The addresses
were Very interesting and showed clear-
ly the claims that the missionary work
has upon the church, and the necessity
for all those who are better favored for
helning :on in the good cause. Rev.
Mr. Simpson, pastor of the church,
acted as chairman. Music was furnished
by the choir.
Memo IN THE SCHOOLS.—There is
considerable talk about introducing
music, into our Public Schools. Some of
our most enterprising citizens are agi'-
tating the matter. It is the outcome of
a lecture which was delivered in the
Union church a few evenings ago by J.
Ross McKay. • His lecture was prin-
cipally on music and its relation to re-
ligion, and mask in the scheols. The
lecture was *strated by music from
Mr. Jamieson and his choir. It is to be
hoped that the,people will set the ball
rolling and keen it going.
Filgiauo, dentist of
Ha'milton'who has been practising here
fora couple of weeks, left for Gorrie on
Saturday.—There is considerable talk of
organizing a musical society here for the

•
cultivation of vocal music.—Mr. Mc-
Namee, who has filled the position of
station agent during Mr. Rose's absence,
has gone to Londeeboro.—A "Harvest
Home Hop" was given in Turner's hall

ciety is getting on nobly, and the mem-
bership is on the increase.—Mrs. J.
