A VICTORY FOR THE CRICKETERS. -On Do- minion Day our cricketers journeyed to Woodstock and played a friendly game of orioket with the club of that town. They came out, as Seaforth elubs generally do, ahead. The game throughout was, as all games of cricket should be, a most gentle- manly one, and some fine playing was done on both sides, the batting of Mr. E, C. Cole- man being one of the leading features. Woodstock fielders were apparently in hard luck, as a number of fine catches at critical times were missed by them. The score was : 1st innings, Seaforth, 50 runs ; Woodstock, 20 ; 2nd innings, Seaforth, 38 ; Woodstock, 47, thus leaving Seaforth victors by 21 runs. This makes two victories for Seaforth out of three games played, and we hope that, be- fore the end of the season, they will have added many more viotories to their list. • THE New PASTOR OF THE METHODIST CHURCH. -At the meeting of Conference Rev. Mr. Smyth was appointed to Seaforth. This appointment, however, proved unsatis- factory to the Seaforth congregation and an arrangement hes been made by which Mr. Smyth goes to Ontario Street Church Clin- ton, and Mr. Gallosvay, who has been pastor there for the past year, comes to Sesforth. Of the new pastor the News Record of this week says : " Rev. Joseph Galloway preached his farewell sermon in the Ontario Street Methodist church last Sunday even- ing.. Mr. Galloway is an excellent if not a showy preacher and we know that many will regret his departure. He will be stationed in Seaforth, and we commend him to the good offices of him new parishioners. If they will do their part in furthering the Master's kingdom upon earth Mr. Galloway will do his. ' DOMINION DAY. -Dominion Day passed over very quietly in town, the postoffice about mail time being the principal oentre ef attraction. Nearly every person who could, left town. All who owned or could hire or borrow a conveyance went off driv- ing and the remainder, except the old reli- able home guard, who stayed at home to take care of the town, went away by train. By train, 450 went to Goderich ; 13 to Wingham ; 14 to Stratford ; 47 to Dublin ; 13 to Woodstock and 50 to other places. In the afternoon, Miss M. E. McLean, teacher of the infant class in the Presbyterian Sab- bath school, entertained the children of the class, their parents and other friends at a picnic in Beattieti Grove, where several hours were pleasantly spent and all, both old and young, seemed to enjoy the outing in this beautiful grove. The weather throughout the day waa delightful and seemed to have come for the benefit of Do- minion Dey pleasure seekers, as it was the only favorable -day of hist week. EGMONDVILLE NOTES. -Several deliberate attempts have been made lately to drive some of our village cows across the line to Seaforth pound and in one instance the rald proved successful, two widow ladies having to hand over one dollar each to satisfy the demands of the bovine jailer, and Mr. Bills two dollars for the liberation of his thorough- breds. Now, these pod people decidedly object to satisfy the greed of those young brigands in this way, and Mr, Hills is of the opinion that he would rather not have his prize Ayrshiras contaminated again by being corralled with the common herd. Our neighbors can use every legitimate means to enforce their own by-laws, but our people are determined to put a stop to those plundering inroads of young fili- busters from the north who wish to replen- ish their finances by such dishonest means. But it is not to be wondered at when such conduct is rather encouraged hy those whose duty it should be to assist such boys to a better life. -Those who attended the social on Monday evening seemed to get consider- able pleasure out of it and to all appearance nothing of evil. The Persian, Mr. Eschoo, was well received and added much to the interest of the occasion .-Miss Maggie Porter and Miss Maggie MoDoegall are putting in thie week in oamp at Bayfield. They left on Monday with a party of young people from Stratford. Mrs. C. L. Papa and Mrs. W. D. VanEgmond accompany them for recreation and oversight. We wish them all a pleasant outing and safe return. -A surprise party took possession of the manse on Monday afternoon for 'heft time and as the " symptoms " of two of the party were favorable a wedding was soon accomplished. The young people were from Clinton. -Mrs. Robert Gemmell and family, of Guelph, are rusticating at the maternal homestead just east of the village, a splen- did place to enjoy a oountry visit.

Both these steers were among the lot brought from Manitoba last fall. Mr. Robert McMillan went in charge of these cattle to the old country. CONGREGATIONAL MEETING. -Rev. Dr. McDonald having sent in to the Presbytery his resignation of hie pastoral charge of the First Presbyterian church, Seaforth, of which he has been pastor for thirteen years, at the close of the Suoday service two weeks ago. Rev. A. McLinin, of Blyth, Presbytery clerk, gave the official notice citing the congregation to appear by repre- sentatives at a. meeting of Presbytery to be held at Goderich on Tuesday next, the 12th inst., and also calling the usual congrega- tional meeting on such occasions. The meeting of the congregation was held on Monday evening. It was opened by the pastor, who explained hie reasons for the step he had taken. The principal reason is, that the congregation has grown so much that Mr. McDonald feels his inability to perform the work in a manner satisfactory to himself or in the best interests of the con- gregation, notwithstanding the fact that he has the aid of a student assistant for the summer six months. He also most feelingly acknowledged the uniform kindness he had always reoeived from the congregation, and stated that he was impelled to the course he had taken solely from a sense of duty and a desire to further the congregation's interests and that whatever the issue may be, or wherever his future lot may . be oast, the congregation here will always have a first place in his affections. After making his explanations Mr. McDonald withdrew. Mr. L. L. McFaul was appointed chairman and Mr. John Fairley secretary. After a thorough discussion of the whole situation a recom- mendation from the &melon, to the effect that a permanent assistant to Dr. McDonald be at once procured providing he would consent to continue his pastorate of the con- gregation, was approved of by the meeting and a resolution was unan'eously carried, acknowledging Mr. Mc II -,4 d's faithful and efficient services as a tutor ; the earnest i desire of this congrega ion to continue the relations which had so ong existed between pastor and people and instructing the dele- gates to the Presbytery to use every en- deavor to lay the matter before the Presby- tery in emit a way as to secure the carrying out of the wish of the congregation in this resnecte The Presbytery meets in Goderich on Tuesday, when the congregation will be fully represented, and it is hoped that the issue will be one satisfactory to all and that Dr. McDonald will be able to -see his way clear to comply with the desire of the con- gregation and that he will be spared for many years to carry on his good work in our midst. TENDERS WANTED. -Offers will be accept- ed by the undenigned for the removal of the build- inga on Lot 19, Main Street, next the Commercial hotel. The contractor to take the material there- from. C.

Mrs. George Brownlee, Tucksrsmith. 1282-1 THE PROMISED TRUSS COMPLETED AT LAST. -The new invention (patented 1891) " Suotorial," and the newest invention (patented 1892) " The Automatic," have been itunited into one, and an article has been produced which hae no equal, and which will be known after this as the " CHARLES CLOTHE'S AutomatimTruss." It will be only sold by physicians and druggists, or through the house direct,. The pad is held by suction from slipping about. When the body expands and contracts by motion of the legs, by coughing or sneezing, etc., a little pad (half the siz6 of 9, pigeon's egg) enters deeper into the cavity of the very ring, and at that moment counteracts in true proportion both expans- ion and contraction, which makes it impossible for the hernia to escape, and must heal the rupture in a very short time, Mr. Chas. Cluthe will be in Sarnia, Hellehatnber House, Friday, July 22nd ; Stratford, Mansion House, Saturday, July 28rd, where he may be consulted on Trusses, and also on such aftlietions as Curvature of the Spine, Club Feet, White Swelling, Week Lege,,Bow Legs, etc. None should fail to see him. 1282x2 ANOTHER Frne.-Seaforth has suffered severely during the past year from fires,and although the energy and enterprise of our business men and property owners have, in many cases, repaired the losses in so far as the appearance of the town is conoerned, there are still some blanks left. The results also have not been nearly so disastrous as would have been the case, but for the ef- ficiency of our fire protection, and the More than commendable energy and skill of our fire brigades. Another was added to the long list on Monday night, or rather early Tuesday morning. About three o'clock the fire alarm was sounded, and those who were awakened by it, on looking from their chamber vrindows had no difficulty in com- ing to a conclusion as to the cause of the alarm, for the fire had gained very consid- erable headway before it was hoticed, arid although the firemen were promptly on hand after the fire alarm whistle was sounded, the flames were issuing through the roof of the building in which the fire had originated, and had communicated with the *adjoining building, before their arrival. The fire originated in the back part of Mr. John Ward's harness shop, or somewhere in that vicinity. It rapidly spread southwards and soon enveloped the other adjoining buildings, and now what was left of the old wooden block on Main street between the Golden Lien Store and the corner building adjoining the Commercial hotel, is a mass of ruins. The Gaden Lion Store, being a large brick building with a solid fire proof wall next the buroing mass, escaped unin- jured. The fire was an intensely hot one, and for a time burned furiously, but al- though it got such a start, the firemen soon got it under control, and with four power- ful streams of water; and the aid of the hook and ladder oorps, the fire was not only kept from spreading but was drowned out long before it completed its work, although the buildings are so badly wrecked as to be past reconstruction. The individual losses over and above the insurance will be con- siderable, although the loos to the town will not be serious, as this rookery has long been a menace, and the site will now likely soon be occupied by a better and safer class of buildings. Mr. John Ward is, perhaps, the heaviest loser: He had an insurance of $1,150, and as he lost nearly his whole stock, including tools, he will be out fully two thousand dollars. It will be remember- ed that Mr. Ward was a sufferer from the last fire. He bought out Mr. George E. Henderson, removed into his new store, and had just got nicely started again, when he is once more cleaned out. We hope, how- ever, to see hini started up again in a few days, as bright as ever in new qtartere. The next place taken was Messrs. Jones tit MeCuaig's butcher shop. They, however, suffered only_ trifling lose, Mr. Stewart's restaurant was the next place taken. Mr. Stewart and hie family lived in this building. They lost the most of -their, stook and the best of their furniture, bedding, wearing apparel, eto. They hair an insurance of $500, but, their lou will be ocinsiderably more than this. The next building belonged to Mr. James Wilson. One apartment was vacant, and the other was ocoupied by Mr. J. M. Best's law office. The next building to this WAS the one previously burned, and the fire stopped here. The building occu- pied by Mr. Ward belonged to Mr. George E. Henderson ; the butcher shop belonged to Mr. George Ewing ; Mr. tiolmested own- ed the, next building, and Mr. James Wil- son the next. The origin of the firei is not known. It is supposed, however, to be the work of an incendiary, as neither Mr, Ward nor Mr. Stewart had fire during the day or evening in the part of the building where the fire originated. The weather wee -favor- able, everything being wet from the recent rain, and the atmosphere was calm. The fire was witnessed by a large number of people, and within about an hour from the time that the first alarm was sounded the fire was pretty well drowned out. It ie needless to say that the firemen did nobly, They always do that. It is to be hoped that this will be the last fire we will have in town for some time. THE DEPARTED- ONES. -We are called upon this week to chronicle the death of the very aged, the middle-aged and the young. Mrs. Mary McMillan, relict of the late Hugh Mahlillan, formerly of Tucker - smith, died at tbe residence of her grand- daughter, Mrs. Holland, in this town, on the 25th ult. Mrs. McMillan had reached the great age of 90 years. She has been in very feeble healtbacaused principally by rheumatism, for two lyears, hut prior to that she was amazingly healthy and robust for her 'years, and despite her great age and long and painful illness she retained full possession of all her faculties until the last. She was a native of Inverneashire, Scotland. On arriving in this coentry over fifty years ago, she with her huileand set- tled on a farm on the 3rd conceesion,L.R.S., Tuckersmith, where she continued to reside for about 48 years. Her husband has been dead about 18 years. For some time aftere wails she resided with her son, Mr' Miles McMillan, now of Gagetown, Michl igan, but when he left the farm and remov d to the States, she came to live with er daughter, the late Moe Ann Smith, of t is town, who died last winter. She ha a family of sevenrebat only three, two daugh- ters and one (son, survive her. She had been a woman of more than average intel- ligence, and was of a kind and'obligiog dis- position, andpany of the older settlers of Tuokeremith who still remain will think of her with the most kindly feelings. She WAS a devoted member of the Roman Catholic Church, and her remains were interred lin the Milltown cemetery. -Miss Bessie McDonald, sister of Mils. Robert Scott, of Harpurhey, passed pea e - residence of Mr. Scott, her brother -in -la . I fully away on Monday afternoon, at t e Miss McDonald bad been confined to the house with dropsy for four or five months, but was able to be about most of the ti ` e .21 until last Sunday, when she grew sudden y worse and passed away as above stated. I - though die was always hopeful herself, h r physicians have been of the opinion f r some time that recovery was impossibl . Miss McDonald had been a resident of Se forth for many years, and was well kno n to most of our citizens and highly respee d by them. She was of a kind, cheerful di position, and was thought most of by tho e who knew her best. She was a consietent member of the Presbyterian church, and always rendered willing and cheerful service in behalf of every good cause. Her death is a severe 'affliction. to her relatives and friends, but will, perhaps, be most keenly felt by her sister, Mrs.Scott, as between the; two there was more than a sisterly affeet-1 thin. Theiuneral took place on Wednes- day afternoon, and the remains were laid to rest in the Maitlandbank cemetery. , -On Sunday morning Janet Olive, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Grieve, passed from the pains and troubles of earth to the better land above. She was a more than usually bright and intelligent child of about 7 years. Always delicate, she has been a severe sufferer from spinal and other dis- eases for several months, and her recovery was impossible. Death to her was, indeed, a happy release, although she will be long and sadly missed by the parents, and espe ially by the mother, to whom through suff ring and aftliotione she was, if possible, dou ly endeared, and the home will be lone - 80M for long. They have, however, the cons laden of knowing that it is far better with their loved one, and that without a ores there never can be a crown. - other death from that fatal disease, cons mption, occurred here on Tuesday last, that f Miss Mary McCosh, fourth daugh- ter o Mrs. Hugh MoCosh. She had been ill fo a number of months, but bore her sufferings with great patience and serenity, looking past the end here to the blessed peace beyond. Miss McCosh was only 28 yearsi of age, and hers is the fourth death, from he same disease, in the family within fiftee months ago. The sympathy of all is 1 a few years, a brother having died abont 1 exte ded to the breaved mother and family in th ir sorrow. 1 LO AL BRIEFS . -MT. and Mrs. James Rite ie, of Behnore, township- et Howick, were in town on Saturday.
