It was evident from the position of the body that the man bad fallen from the hay loft. He had,apparent- ly, -got into the building by a back door and went to the hay loft, with the intention ol taking imp his quarters for the nigh b., and : in passing, along in the dark fell through a tr&F ' door to the fioor below, breaking lils neck. There was an abrasion on the forehead where he had struck on his head. He was a stranger in town -and is supposed to be a tramp. On the previous day he applied at , t1m St. Thomas church Rectory for Some. -thing, to eat and Mrs. Hadgins gave him his; dinner. He is a small, low -set man, about 35 or -40 years of age and had a heavy . moustache but no whiskers. Re wore pair ..- of large, coarse felt boots, a black feit" - bal and dark clothes. He was poorly clad and . carried with him a small bundle done up in a colored cloth. .He bad not previously been noticed around the hotel and his identity has not, up to the time of writing, , been discovered.

The attendance was large, and the people assembled seemed to bi striVing with each other as to who could bi I the. most liberal in bidding. One mare wai sold for $100, but she was blemished, ane .another was bid in at $155. Grade cowk went as high as S82, and a cow with calf al foot brought $91. A three-year-old gradf heifer brought $U, and two-year-old Steen went as high an $90 per pair. Calvei I brought as high as $28, and sheep aversge� about 23 per pair. Implements, which arg usually a drag at sales, went off like hol cakes. A binder sold for $80 ; a nineteen years -old wagon brought $27, and a culti vator that had been run for several yeaii auldior$1.75 more t6nit cost when new ' while a sat of harness that was bought frou Mr. John Ward, of this town, three yean ago, for $32 sold for $31.50, and so oi through ti'e whole list. The sale realize� $1,800. Air. W. G. Duff, who is becominj very popular as an auctioneer of farm stock wielded the harnmer, and he did it with , purpose. Mr. Fortune is to be pongratu lated on the splendid send off which his o1c' friends- and Deighbors gave him on his retir !rig from farming. 0 THY PUBLIC SGIIOOL.—A short time ag( Mr. David Robb, Inspector, spent thre( days visiting the several departments of th( Somforth public school. At ameeting of th( School Board on Tuesday evening, Mr, Robb% detailed report on the, condition oi - .- thegehooland the character of the worb? done,wag presented,and was very creditablE to the"teaching staff. The general tenor ol the report may be judged from the following -extracts : "I found the care,taking well done and, all the roo,ms comfortable and well ven- tilated. Mr. McFaul pays particular atten- tion to these matters. In fact, he seems to have a perfect oversight over everything connected with the school. - The order in the whole school is excellent, and the teach- ing good. In a staff of so many teachers . there are., of course, degrees of excellence, but I am convinced that it would be haz- ardous to change any of your present staff, expecting to change for the better." In re- ferringtothe junior rooma,he.says: "I asunot but think it is only a matter of a few years until every town and village in Ontario will have a Kindergarten for children from 4 to 7 years of age. In the case of Seaforth, where there is a vacant room it would cost but a trifle to start a Kindergarten, I merely suggest the matter. I am sure if I can got you to discuss the matter you will establish one." He concludes his report as 10,11ows' : "I wish to reiterate that you have a staff of teachers much above the average, and I sincerely hope that you -may be able . to retain it unbroken for a long time." 0 fnE LATE MR. MITCUELL.—Mr. James E. Troyer, formerly of Hmsall, writes from Marlette, Michigan, on Aprill 4th,giving the I following, additional particulars coDcorning the melancholy accident which befel Mr. T. R. Mitchell, late of. Westfield, and of which nieDtiOU VVIX4 made in these columns last week. Mr. Troyer says: "I noticed in your last isque an item announcing the dea,th of Mr. T. R.
