They had invited the Seaforth Lodge of Good Templars and the ladies of the Wo- men's Christian Temperance Union, be- sides the general public, consequently the hall was well filled. A very good programme of mnsic and short addressee was given and heartily received by the audience. The best of fraternal feeling prevailed, and a very pleasant evening was spent. LACROSSE CLEM RE-ORGANIZED.—At a well" attended meeting, held in the Queen's Hotel on Wednesday evening last, the junior lacrosse club of this town was re -organized. This club is in connection with the seniors, and will have the same Honorary-Presiclent,Vice- President, etc., as the senior club. • The following officers were elected : Cap- tain, H. Jackson; Secretary -Treasurer, T. Copp; Committee, D. McDonald, T. Stevens, and J. Campbell. The club 'expects to have a strong team this sea - eon, and are open to challenges from the clubs in the neighboring towns. THE HORSE FAIR.—The monthly horse and cattle fair, held here on Wed- nesday, was not so largely attended as sorne of the previous one,! but still there was a large amount of business done. The falling off in attendance may be accounted for by the very bad state of the roads. The buyers, both foreign and local,were well represented. There were thirty horses and three cat- tle sold, and fair prices were realised. Messrs. Bates & Polley, of Goderich, bought 7 horses; White & Snell, Exeter, 3; Mr. Enright, 7; McTavish & Eas- ton, Stratford, 3 ; Mr. Aubury, 4; John McMann 5, and Mr. Colbert 1, making in all fhirty horses dispooed of. G' A GOOD Cow.—A thoroughbred. Jereey cow belonging to Mr. John 'Hannah, of Tuekerernith, has a particularly good isfilk record. During the past season she gave milk for nine and a half months, and during that time she gave 4,800 lbs. of milk, and fifteen and a half pounds of milk produced a pound of butter. She thus produced 320 -lbs. of butter, which at an average price of 17 cents per pound would make the yield of the cow in cash $54 for the season, besides the skim milk which would be worth a con- siderable sum. She only received the same feed and care as Mr. Hannah's other cows. These are the kind of ani- mals our dairymen should keep if they want to make dairying pay. Roam eliseronenres.—Sixteen mis- sionaries have been appointed by the Students' Missionary „Society of Knox College, Toronto, to fields in Ontario, Manitoba and the Northwest, the terms of service extending from four to six months. In the list of missionariee we notice the names of' two Huronites. The first is that of Mr. Charles J. Tough, son of Mr. John Tough, of Stanley, who goes to Kilworthy, °ute- ri% for the summer, and the seoond,Mr. J. S. Muldrew, son of Mr. Muldrew, of Egmendville, who has been ap- pointed to Wabash, County of Both- well Mr. Toegh has completed his second year at the College, and Mr. Mul- drew his first year. They are both clever young men and the stations for whieh they have been selected will be faithfully and efficiently served. e THE INSURANCE COMPANY.—We un- deratanl that the Ontario Mutual Live Stock Insurance Company has now the required amount of insurance applied for and accepted by the Directors to enable the company to issue policies and that the policies are now being issued as rap- idly as the Secretary can get them out. The Company may now be said to be fairly in operation and as it has made the required Government deposit and has ample security in its premium notes - to meet all losses, parties insuring in it have the very best possible guarantee that their claims will be promptly met if loss ahould overtake them. While, therefore, the policy holders are safe as to any losses they may sustain, if the company is properly and carefully man- aged the assessments onmembers should also be reasonable. 'As it is the only Live Stock Insurance Company in On- tario, a large business should be done and the company should prove a boon to -owners of valuable live stock. LOOK AFTER YOUR BANK BILLS.— The General Manager of- the Bank of Commerce has isaued a circular to the several agencies of the bank instructing them that on and after the 7th of May next bills of the defunct City Bank, Royal Canadian Bank iend Consolidated Bank will not be received. Up to that date, however, bills on any of these banks will be received or exchanged at par at any of the agencies of the Bank of Commerce but after that date these bills will, be worthless. If, therefore, any of our readers have a "long stock- ing wet tato wed" and laid awa.y,it would be well for them to look over their cash at owe andif they find any of the bills of City, Royal Canadian or Consolidated Bank % in their piles to bring them along and have them exchanged at the Bank of Commerce before the 7th of May, as after that date they will not be worth more than common Waste paper. We do not expect there will be a very great huh, but there may be some to whom this an- nouncement will be of interest. LEAVING TOWN.—The many friends of Rev. Father Shea, pester of St. James' Catholic Church in this town, will regret to learn that he is leaving here, after a ten years' residence in our midst. The reverend gentleman is go- ing to Cincinnati, Ohio, where, we un- derstand, he will in future reside. Next Sunday will be his last service in Sea - berth, and the following one he will of- ficiate in Brussels for the last time, as he leaVes here on Monday, April 14th, for hhi new field of labor. While re-= gretti g his departure .from Seaforth, whic is voluntary on his part, as hia relati ns with his congregation here have always been the most cordial and pleas- ant, e can assure him that he will bear With im the esteem and good wishes not o ly of his own people, but of our citize s generally. During his ten years' residence here, by his kindly, court ous and gentlemanly detneanonhe has w n the respect and esteem of peo- ple of all classeaand'creeds and the af- fection of many. He was ever a kind and generous friend to the poor, especially of his own flock, and by them his removal will be specially re- gretttd. We wish him renewed health and a long career of usefulness in his new home. Mr. John R. Clarke, the well-known Lecturer and Entertainer, will give his popular lecture on "Gough," in humor, dialeot and eloquence, in the Methodist Church, on Wed- nesday evening, April 9th, 1890.

This will decidedly be the crowning event of the season and an intellectual feast is in store for all who will attend. Lecture at eight o'clock. Admission, adults, 25 cents ; children, half price.

Fine. -e -On Thursday night last the dwelling hoUse and farm buildings of Mr. Henry Carpenter, of Logan'adjoin- ing ads village were completely destroy- ed by fire. The fire originated in the chimney of the dwelling house. It caught fire in the afternoon, but was supposed to have burned out, but aeapaIrk must have got in somewhere and lay smouldering, for about eleven o'clo4k the flames beret out and spread so rapidly that nothing could be done to save the building. There was a very high wind prevailing at the time and the fire soon communicated with the barn and other eut-buildings, and all were destroyed. Mr. Carpenter got a good portion of the furniture out of the house and all the animals and most of the other moveable, articles were saved from the out-buildings,except a quantity of hay which was destroyed.

Cook, of this place and was witnessed by a large number of Ahe re- latives and friends of the contracting parties. The happy couple received hearty congratulations from their many friends and the bride was made the re- cipient of a large number of useful and valuable presents and we unite with their many friends in wishing them all joy and happiness. STILL ANOTHER. — On Wednesday also of this week another of those happy events occurred and on which occasion Mr. Wm. Jones, of the township of Stanley, was united. in the bonds of matrimony to Miss Mary Hood, of the said township of Stanley, the marriage ceremony being performed by the .Rev. E. A. Fear, of this place, and we most heartily unite with the many friend*, of the happy couple in wishing them [ng and continued happiness. A PLEASANT SURPRISE.—On Tuesday evening of last week the members of the Kippen congregation took possess- ion of the Elensall North parsonage and stable, filling the bins of the stable with about sixty bushels of oats, and after spending a short time in conversa- tion, etc., spreading heavily laden tables in ethe house from well filled baskets, the partaking of which seemed to promote a spirit of cheerfulness and happiness. Two or three hours were then spent in music, singing, games, etc. The Kippen people are among the most loyal and kind hearted that it has been the lot of any pastor to labor among, having provided as generously for their minister's horse every winter since the present pastor came among them; and are always foremost in any church enterprise. Chiselhurst. HYMENIAL.— Mr. John Wren and Miss Jessie A. Stewart, of this place were quietly united in the holy bonds of wedkck at the manse Ilensall, by the Rev. J. S. Hendersen, on Thursday afternoon last, April 3rd. Of course we extend our congratulations to the happy young couple, metaphorically casting our No.12 slipper after them,and wishing them a long, pleasant, happy and prosperous journey down life's tur- bulent stream, and a quiet harbor and shining escort when they reach the eter- nal shores. LOCALITIES.—We are happy to learn that Mr. R. Newell, who has been ail- ing for some time, is recovering.—Mr. W. Kerslake has rented his blacksmith shop to Mr. Sinclair, of Crediton.—Geo. Fitzgerald, Esq. win) has been attend- ing the Ontario ?Veterinary Coilege, has returned home and commenced practice this week with Mr. Sweet, of Exeter.— Mr. Wm. Craig had the misfortune to lose a valuable three year old colt by be- ing poisoned with Paris green.—In the last issue of Tux EXPOSITOR appeared an item entitled "A Church Choir," stating that there was talk of organizing a choirin the Presbyterian church here. This statement is not accurate, as there has been no allusion made,by the church officers, to forming.a choir,the congrega- tion being perfectly satisfied with the singing of their able precentor. Wroxeter. PASSED AWAY.—Mrs. Johnston, late landlady of the Commercial Hotel, died Thursdsymorning last week after an ill- ness of about two months' diiration and her remains were interred in the English Church- burying ground on Saturday last. Mrs. Johuston was long a resident of this place, end well and favorably known to the hotel and travelling pub- lic. She was a woman of many good qualities,an active and capable manager, and will be miased by her friends and the public generally. BUSINESS CHANGE. —Mr. John San- derson has sold his general store busi- ness to the firm of Sanderson & Mc- Laughlin, who take possession at once. The new firm is composed of Mr. J. W. Sanderson son of the late proprietor, and Mr. W. McLaughlin; late of Gorrie. Both are young and energetic men, well known in this locality, and will make a strong bid for trade. We commend them to the purchasing public. • THE TARIFF CHANGES.—The changes proposed by the Government in the tariff are already making themselves felt. The one which is coming home to the farming community with special force at the present time is the removal of clover and timothy seed from the free list and the re -imposition of the duty thereon. The wholesale merchants hav- ing raised their prices by the amount of the duty, retailers are compelled to fol- low -suit, and as farmers are just now laying in their stock of grass seeds for spring sowing, the beauties of a protec- tive tariff are brought out with a clear- ness that cannot be mistaken. Sir John may fancy himself "in clover" at the present time, but the fifty -cents -a -bushel rise in the price of seed sown this spring will keep his memory green until next election with some of our yeomanry. Blyth. lsiOTES.—The monthly horse and cat- tle fair held on Tuesday was fairly at- tended, and a good many sales were made.—The many friends of Mr. Angus McMillan will be sorry to learn of his serious illness of inflammation of the lungs. —Mr. Joseph Fisher, formerly of Manchester, took possession of the Man- sion House here on Wednesday.—Mr. W.

We congratulate Mr. Phillips on his purchase, and hope he may long live to enjoy the comforts of his pleasant home. STILL THEY Go.—Another of our best and most intelligent farmers has left to take up his abode underneath the fold.* of the great star spangled banner. Mr. Samuel Foster, who sold his farm in this township a short time ago, and who for the past 17 yeers has filled the position of township clerk, left with his family and effects for Berne, Michigan, on Monday last. Mr. Foster has purchased in Micidgan an improved farm of 120 acres, and 80 ares unimproved. He says that a large majority of the inhabi- tants of that section of country are Can- adians, and all seem to be prospering. We hope Mr. Foster may also prosper in his new home, and that when he makes his pile in Michigan he will re- turn to old Huron to enjoy it.
