His prize mare, "Queen has dropped a foal, sired by Kenilworth, which is said by good judges to be the best he has raised yet. This is saying a good deal, as he has six Kenilworth colts now, for one of which he has refused $375, and he is not yet two years old. Mr. McMichael is, evi- dently, a success as a horse breeder, and we hope all his colts_ may pan out not less than a round three.hundred. THE WOODS ARE FULL OF.THEM.— The Toronto Monetary Times of last week says: "Thirty-nine commercial "travellers registered at the Commercial "hotel on Monday and Tuesday last, "says the Seaforth Exeosrroe,, adding: "This speaks well for the house." This "is the local view. A broader view "would perhaps impel one to say that "the number was about twenty-nine too "many." This is, nodoubt, the case. There are too many Cornrnercial travel- lers of all kinds and the country would be a deal better off if they were reduced by at least two thirds. plaintiffs did not give notice to the clerk of the municipality before lst March, 1881, under R. S. 0., 1877, ch. 206, sec. 31, so as to be able to chain exemption from Public School rates for that year, and that the notice which they gave in May did not comply with secs. 19-21 of the same Act, and holds that by sec. 34 they.are liable for the Public School rates for the new schoolhouse under- taken and built before . the Separate SchoOl was established, referring to Free v. McHugh, 24 C. P. 13. The plaintiffs also contended that the whole municipal tax for 1887 was illegal, be - cense the by-law levying it, which was passed by the council on the 26th Sep- tember, 1887, was notseaded until Janu- ary, 1888, after the new council was elected, and had met and taken the oath of office, and no by law vias ever passed to confirm or ratify it, or to authorize the affixing of the seal. The learned judge refers to R. S. 0. 1877, ch. 174, sects. 277, 281 and 343, and holds that the rate could not be imposed by reso- • lution, or without a by-law, and that the alleged by-law was no by-law, and could team of that place by 2 goals to, 1, m not therefore be quashed, and that the their first cup tie match for the season. plaintiff a are entitled to recover, not-- The Seaforth boys speak -in the withstanding defects in the notices of highest terms of the way in action.

The ridiculously low rata of $100 for a cabin passage from Montreal or Quebec to Liverpool and re- turn, good by any of the Mail Steamera, except- ing " Parisian "or " Sardinian " needs no corn- ment, and can only be explained by reason of the fact that the Allans, though never carrying cattle on their Mail Steamers, hare to compete with the rates quoted by lines which carry calt1t7l1e and passengers on same vessel. BUT the star of the evening was Miss Laura McManis, -the famous Lady Whistler, who fairly captivated the audience and was heartily encored at each appearance. She whistled the most difficult pieces with the greatest ease.— Marquette, (Mich.) Daily Journal. 1171 REFORM MEETING. —A Reform mass meeting, under the auspicies of the Young Liberals of Seaforth, will be held in Cardno's Hall this Friday evening, commencing at eight o'clock.

Joe HMS COMINO.—Arrangements have been made to secure Joe Hess to lecture in Seaforth for a week in the in- terests of Temperance. He will begin on Sunday, June 15th, and continue during the following week up to and in. eluding Friday evening. Wherever Mr. Hese has been he has met with great success in interesting and holding large audiences every night.

He lectured in Peterboro, Mount Forest, Goderich, Cobourg and a number of other places. He has wonder- ful success in rousing peeple, as they apparently have never been roused be- fore.

THE TOWNSHIP OF MCKIL- LOP.—This is a case which has been be- fore the courts for some time, and has created a good deal of local interest. A portion of the ratepayers in School Sec- tion No. 5, township of McKillop, de- cided tor erect a new school building in that township. A number of the rate- payers objected to this, brit ,a majority being in favor of the new building it was proceeded with. The minority formed a Separate School and erected a Separate School building. The council of McKillop held .that the Separate School was not legally formed, and col- lected, under distrees,ifrom the support- ers of the Separate School, the Public School rate and also their proportionlof the cost of the new Public School build- ing. The supporters of the Separate School then brought an action against the township for the refund of this money so collected. The result of these proceedings will be found in the follow- ing report of the court at Toronto : Judgment in action in which the evi- dence was taken at Goderich in October, 1888, and plaintiff's argument put in in February, 1890. Action to recover moneys alleged to have been illegally ex- acted from the plaintiffs for taxes, and for damages for trespass and illegal dia. trese. The learned judge finds that the • THIS SHOULD SETTLE IT.—In it8 is- sue of May 5, the Seaforth Sun said : " In the year 1876, the publisher of Tun Ex- roamn charged the town of Seaforth TIME HUNDRED AND FIVE DOLLAR/3 for publishing a by- law for the deepening of Silver Creek." To this THE EXPOSITOR replied in the following week: - "By reference to the account rendered we find the following entry: September 22nd, To advertising by-law, 2,380 lines, 4 insertions, 8200.' This was the charge, and this was the amount paid. The ordinary trade price for this kind of advertising is 8 cents per line for the first insertion, and. 2 cents per line for each sub- sequent insertion. Any person may figure up the amount and see how much of an overcharge was made. It will be found that the legal charge would have been 8333.20, whereas Tun EXPOSITOR only charged 8200, or $133.20 less than legitimate trade prices." To the above the Sun of last week re- plied as follows: "The publisher of our esteemed town con- temporary in his issue of May 2nd says that1e did not charge the town of Seaforth 8305 f printing the Silver Creek by law, and that h only received 8200. This "blight inaccuracy " on his part is very misleading to the public. We care nothing about what his books may show, the official records of the town of Seaforth is what we rely upon, and they show that the pub- lisher of Tun Daemon received 8305 for the Lown printing for the year 1876. In 1888 the publisher of Tim EXPOSITOR agreed to do the town printing for $85, this aniount deducted from $305 would leave a balance in favor of the town of 8220." The following certificate from Mr.Wm. Elliott, town treasurer, speake for itself and needs no explanation: To Me. M. Y. McLnaN.—Sut,—You ask me to state the amount paid by the Town of Seaforth for printing in the year 1876. I find by referring to documents that it was $296.18. The amount ap- pearing in the Treasurer's book as paid over for printing in 1876 is $306.05. The difference is ac- counted for by the fact that part of the work paid for in 1876 was done in 1878. The correct amount was as above stated, viz.: for the gen- eral account 896.18, and for the Silver Creek by - law 8200. Yours very Truly, Wm. Euforr, Town Treasurer.

Malloch, Public School Inspector for North Huron, was received with much surprise and very deep regret. In fact very few had heard of his illness. He died at his residence in Clinton, paralysis being the cause. It seems he had been unwell for some weeks past, but was not thought to be so near death's door. He- was born in, Carleton County in 1834, and received his early education in the Pub- lic Schools at home. Some time after' he went to New York, and upon his re- turn entered the Normal School at To- ronto, taking therefrom a first-class. certificate. He was a man of very high educational standing, a ripe and cultur- ed scholar, much above the average. He taught during his career as a master in Lanark, Perth, Simcoe and Huron counties. He taught fcir sixteen years as principal of the Clinton Model School, and in January, 1884, received the re- ward of his competency and efficient services in the appointment of inspector of Public Schools for North Huron, In this' capacity he proved faithful and efficient and was very popular both with teachers and trustees, and by none will his sudden death be more deeply felt than by the teachers who have had such intimate relations with him during the past six years. Mr. Malloch was one of the most prominent Masons in Canada, heving been initiated in St, Mark's Lodge at Port Stanley in 1858, and was the first worshipful master of Orillia Lodge. He received the capi- tular degree in Orillia in 1870, the order of Knight Templar and Knight of Malta in Mount Calvary Encampment in the same place and same year, and likewise the investment of Knight of the Red Cross of Rome and Constantine. He was, up to the time of his death, Princi- pal Z. of Malloch chapter, of Clinton, and it may be said he was the father of Clinton Lodge. He was also a mem- ber of the preceptory-of Goderich and a prominent member of the Scottish Riters of Hamilton. Mr. Malloch has also a military record to be summed up with his most creditable educational record. His loss will be deeply felt by all. those with whom he was acquainted, as he was, on account of his amiable nature and genial manner, a general favorite, He leaves a wife and son to mourn his loss. He was buried on Wednesdey at 3 o'clock with Masonic honors. —Mr. George Godbolt, who resides at Sunshine, between Woodham and Blyth. NOTES.—We understand Mr. John Mason has received word from Calgary of the death of his heavy draught stallion which went up there.

The following officers were elected :— President, J. 13. Kelly; lst vice-presi- dent, A. J. Brownlee; 2nd vice-presi- dent, James Emigh ; secretary, C. J. Hodgins; treasurer, James McGee. Leadbury. A GOOD NOTE.—Mr, J. G. Hamilton, of the township of Mornington, has sent up two very fine mares to be served by Mr. P. McEwen's well known stallion, Rankin Boy. One of these mares is eligible for registration. This speaks well for Rankin Boy, and shows that Mr. Hamilton is able to appreciate a good horse. We hope his colts will be as good as their sire. • Port Albert.

THE RACES.—The races here on Wed- nesday were not very largely attended, but there were several good horses, and the races were as keenly contested and as interesting as any ever held in the County and all present were highly pleas- ed with the day's sport. The first race was a 3 minute trot in which the following horses competed': J. S. Johneton'e "Grey Tobie ;" Dr. Whiteley's "Daisy Le" R. Roache's "Tommie 0.:" R. Beattie's "Letter .B.;" E.

He allow- ed Mr. Bishop to open the meeting with a three-quarters of an hour speech ; he then spoke for three-quarters of an hour and was followed by Mr. McLean, of Seaforth, for the same length of time, and then Mr. Holmes closed the meet- ing. In his first speech he dwelt entire- ly on personal matters and generalities, and kept his misstatements and "heavy ammunition" until the closing speech, when there was no chalice given for a reply. The.meeting was a most orderly one, and all the speakers were accorded an excellent hearing. The meeting was very largely in favor of Mr. Bishop, and Zurich and vicinity will give a good ac- count of itself on election day. Mr. Collins will have a meeting in the same place on Monday evening. McKillop. TOWNSHIP AFFAIRS.—Fathinasterft in the township are requested to send _in their declaration of office, as their lists are now ready, and as I am receiving considerable blame about being the cause of having all officials to take the declara- tion, and about half of those appointed object, and without reference to either politics or religion, all sects and partici* are alike. Some say they have been fourteen years in office and were never before asked to make such declaration. It may be the council never took the declaration, and the township ratepay- ers are now paying for all those ants of negligence. Councillors did not do their duty, and pathmasters did not do theirs. A decision last week in the court at Toronto goes to show it in the case of Shea vs. McKillop. The township has to pay $250 and costs for colleoting taxes without a by-law. The township paid $350 for law costs this year already, and by the way lawyers charge, the costs in this latter case may be $1,000 more. It is well for the ratepayers to know all about this. The judge holds that as the Separate School did not give notice in the proper time in 1881 to the clerk, of their intention of forming the Separate School,they were liable for the taxes for building the new Public School in Sec- tion No. 5. In the year 1887 I find by the minutes that $60 were levied on the Separate School for No. 5, and $140 for building purposes for the Separate School. Now, the township has, by this decision, to pa Y back $50 more than they paid and costs. In other words the township at large pays for the build- ing of both those school houses, and all because the by-lawe was not sealed. The udge held there was no bylaw to ap- peal against, so that no ratepayer in the township had a right to pay taxes that year any more than the Separate School. If, therefore, the people belonging to the Separate School are relieved from the payment of taxes because the by-lew levying the rate was not sealed, why should not all the other ratepayers in the township not be relieved also. Now, these two sections are the lowest assess- ed part of the township, not because they are Roman Catholics, for Catholics in other parts are equal with the Protes- tants, but because they have been always low,and they also receive themost money and cost the township at large the last- few years more than two town- ships in law for drains and schoole. think the beet thing would be home rule for them and home taxes. Officials who caused the municipality to pay for sta- tutes to instruct them in the law, and every new councilman was supplied with a new statute and the clerk to boot, are the ones who should pay the piper, for they should have known that the notices were not out in time. They should ftot have passed a by-law authorizing the Separate School to borrow money in 1884, and they should have known whether this by- law was sealed. or signed before they rushed into law. As the council meet in e week it would be well for those who. wish ,to give advice to do it in time. Even this year a number of persons, and old councillors with statutes among the rest, petitioned the council to annul lb by-law only passed last year in regard to School Sections, which they might have known could not be done until the debts were all paid. Now, in closing, wishto remind all parties appointed to office that they are liable to a fine of $80 if the/ do not take the decleration of office, and if they act without taking such declaration they are liable to a fine also. None may expect favors from me in an official capacity.--JNo. C. MORld. SON, Clerk. Zurich. D. S. FAUST has just received a quan- tity of No. 1, Western Sweet Horse Tooth Corn.
