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 9 EGMONDTILLE NOTES. -Mr. J.

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 I 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, ; coarse-leoking individual. I. This man st p - ped them, and entered .rito conversation a while, this second man Efaid to the ot er with Mr. Dale's companh#t. After talkiag that he could show him al nice little game by which:he- could make ome money, and 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 enioying the fun as well as either of s find the chatmed card, but very positively hi';i 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 Mr. Dale had seen through I the little game; fooled with, complied, and drove back an and that he was not a mail who could be far as the corner at the Heron road, whe in no very mild terms he Ordered Mr. Dal to dismount and get strai ht home. Thi Mr. Dale very politely refus d to do, Aetna that the fellow had taken im away, prom ising to return him, and he vas bound that he should do so, or there w uld be trouble! 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 mind. Mr. Dale was none the worse fon his adventure, was $5 in pocket for hin trouble, while the sharpers were out that much, but gained the knowledge that there is one staunch farmer. that they cannot foal The country is full of rascally adventurers of this class at the present time, and it would be well for all on w om they may call to give them a cool reception, or if they have dealings with the . they may not all get off as fortunately as Mr. Dale did. They are dangerous characte s to deal with. • LOCAL BRIEFS. -Mr. W. D. Bright was fishing in one of the trout etreams in the vicinity of Wingham on Friday last.
