DISTRICT MATTERS.
A SOURCE OP DANOER.-The deep ditch
along the north road just at the outskirts of
the town has long been a source of danger.
The road here is none too wide, and a slight
swerve on the part of a horse might deposit
the occupants of the rig into the ditch, and
the result would indeed be serious, if not
fatal. The town authorities should look
into this matter, and in conjunction with
the McKillop township council endeavor to
come to some aereement, whereby the drain
could be enclose6d. By so doing they would
remove one of the greatestsourees of danger
aione- that road, and at the same time would
savecthe expense necessitated by having it
-kept clean to allow the water to flow away.
•
DEATH OF MRS. COLEMAN. -Many af OUr
readers will regret to learn of the death of
Mrs. Coleman, widow of the late Dr. T. T.
Coleman. Mrs. Coleman had been in deli-
-cate health for some time, but her condition
was not considered critical until a few days
ago. Heart failure was the cause of death.
Mrs. Coleman was a quiet, retiring lady,
but was universally esteemed and was
greatly endeared to the members of her own
family. She was one of the oldest residents
in these parts and resided in Harpurhey in
the early days before Seaforth had a being.
She leaves a farbily of five sons and two
daughters. The remains will be interred in
Harpurhey cemetery to -day, beside those of
her late husband, who died about three
years ago.
WEDDING BELLS. -A very quiet wedding
took place on Tuesday morning last at St.
James' church, in this town, when Mr.
Michael Hurley, of Seaforth, and lViiss
Margaret Barry, of Hibbert, were made
one. The interesting ceremony was !per-
formed by Rev. Father Kennedy, aud was
witnessed only by a few invited guests.
After the ceremony was over, the newly
wedded ample, together with a few friends,
proceeded, to the bride's home, where a
sumptuous spread was most temptingly' laid
before them, to which full justice was done.
Congratulations were then in ordei, and
good wishes far the future were abundantly
showered upon them. We extend to Mr.
and Mrs. Hurley our felicitations on this
auspicious occasion, and trust that their cup
of joy and prosperity may be filled to the
brim.

BEATTIE Vs. WENGER;L-The following ap-
peared in the court reports of Tuesday last :
"judgment on appeal by plaintiff, assignee
for creditors of defendant Hannah, frbm
judgment of Robertson, 3., dismissing kc -
tion with costs. Judgment for plaintiff
(Street, J. dissenting as to $1,600) weth
costs agains't defendant Wenger, for $2,0 2,
but subject as to $1,600 to delivery by e-
fenclants Hannah and Campbell to e-
fendant Wenger of note for $1,600, derv-
ered by defendant Wenger as part of t e
purchase money of the butter in questio ."
The meaning of this is that Wenger av-11
have to pay over to the .creditors of t e
Hannah estate the sum of $2;082, being t e
price of a lot of butter purchased by
from Hannah, and that Hannah will ha -e
to return to him a note for $1,600, whi h
he, Wenger, gave to Hannah as part pay-
ment for the butter, this note being one
which he held against Hannah and Camp-
bell, and which was supposed to have been
liquidated by the butter sale. 1

THEY COULDN'T FOOL THE OLD MAN.1-
One day last week, a B eek demi', well-
dressed, glib -tongued you g man called at
the residence of Mr. Chr stopher Dale; sr.,
Huron Road, west of Se forth, and asked
for the proprietor. He as driving quite a
stylish rig. Mr. Dale as on hand, and
enquired his business. II said he wanted -
fo buy a good farm, an had heard that
Mr. Dale desired to dis ose of his. Mr.
Dale said that he had no farm to sell, but
be thought that his neig bor, Mr. William -
Fowler, would sell his. The young Man -
asked hian if he would geh into the buggy,
and drive over and see Mr. Fowler. Tins
Mr. Dale consented to do.! He got into ehe
buggy and they drove elf, presumably i to
see Mr. Fowler; but, inetead of driving
straight there, when they' got to the side
road leading south, the readre'turned down
towards the railway track! This somewhat

aroused Mr. Dale's suspic ons, but he said
nothing, thinking he wou d await develep-
merits. After going a shert distance they
met another stranger, a 'somewhat bur y,

which he had learned in Buffalo when he
was over there with hors s, and producing
a pack of cards he offered o bet the man en
the buggy $5 that he coul not pick out' a
certain card. The bet w taken and t e
money put up, both men seeming to ha e
plenty of cash. The man readily pick d
out the desired card, and pocketed the
money. It all seemed as asy as rolling Off
a log. The Buffalo man then asked r.
Dale if he would hot lik to take a ris
Mr. Dale's companion kept nudging hi
and urging him to go in and he would be
sure to win. Mr. Dale, who was evidently

companions, was quite wi ling to try a d
declined to put up any money. This the
Buffalo man at length co sented to. Me.
Dale picked out the desir d. ,card, and the
man insisted on his takin the $5. After
considerable coaxing, Mr. Dale took th
money and quietly placed t in his pocke .
He was then strongly urge by ooth men t
take another risk for a la er amount, bu
he refused, and, thinking t ie fun had gon
far enough, he very peremptorily ordere
his companion to turn around and driv
him home: The man, evidently seeing that

The scamp, seeing that he was thoroughlY
caught at his own game, an that he had a
man of determination and nourage to deal
with, took Mr. Dale home and deposited
him in his own yard without any furthee
ado, and left in no 'very amiable frame of

FOOTBALL MATCH. The retu n football
match in the Western hampions ip seriee,
between the Mechanic , ef Berl n, and the
Hurons, of this town was pla ed On the
recreation -grounds o Thursd y of last
week. The Hurons d won th previous
match at Berlin, and s the gre test num-
ber of goals scored in t e two m tches con-
stituted the winners in the series the Ber-
lin' players were deter ined, if 'ossible, to
retrieve their lost laurels. But they had
reckoned without their host. he match
frem the face off of the ball was -eenly con-
tested, and at times was rather dined to
be rough, but our boys proved to much, for
their opponents, and they sue eeded in
scoring three goals te Berlin's on . AbOut
fifteen minutes before time was u . the Ber-
lin players disputed the decisi • of the
referee, and as he would not co e over to
their view of the matter, they lef the field,
and failing to return in the ado ted time,
the referee declared the Hnrons inners of
the game without further playin . As In-
gersoll have defeated Glencoe in that dis-
trict, the Hurons will no hare to play
home and home matches wi h Ing moll, and
as the Berlin team was leo ed n as one
of the strongest teams in t e lea us. there
can be little doubt but t at th Hurons
will defeat the Ingersoll bo s, and thus for
another year hold the hampi nskip of
Western Ontario.
