DISTRICT MATTERS. ; ALMA COLLEGE, SLC. THOMAS, ONTARIO. - This flourishing institution for the higher year of great prosperity, graduating a class AA twelve in literature, music and com- mercial science, in addition to over 80 cer: tificates from the Education Department, won by its students during the year. Every department is most thoroughly manned, and its large staff of (18) teachers has been very carefully selected. For a school offering firet-class advantages in the way of board, tuition, ga.selighting,stearn-heating, etc., the rates are very low, running from $39 to $46 per term. The yearly rate is still more fa- vorable, offering board, etc. with tuition in all literary subjeets and instruction (from resident teachers) in music and drawing for $190 a year in advance. The new year opened September 10th, 1896. For an- nouncement, address Principal Austin, B.D. • Seeamerit Bovs.-The Stratford Beacon says ; " Mr. William Pringle, of the Chi- cago Board of Trade, and Ms. Pringle are in town, the guests of Mr. James Pringle. Mr. Pringle seys that the election campaign has brought about a practical cessation of business. People mill not invest capital while the doubt rernains as to the outcome of the present struggle." -A Kingston de- spatch makes the following reference to a fOrMer Seaforth boy, the son of the late Dr. uate of the Royal Military College, has been appointed assistant professor of mathe- matics at the college. During Mr. Verco's brilliant career at the Military College he totalled up the highest number of marks in mathematica ever reached in the insti- • A CLOSE Cai.e.-Mr. James Murray, the obliging baggage master at the Grand Trunk Railway stetion in this town, had a very unpleasant experience on Friday last. A couple of cars bad been cut off the regular train end were being run into the siding. Mr. Murray went in between them to couple 'them, when the draw bars ran up pase each other, allowing the cars to come closely to- gether. Mr. Murray got caught leetween them, injuring his breast and back. For- tunately, however, no bones were broken and further than a very severe squeeze, no injury resulted. He was laid up for several , days, but is now getting all right again, and -will, we hepe, be none the worse for his mishap. He escaped very fortunately, as ender the circumstances he might have been much more severely injured. • Cocaine aluerissie-The regular meeting of the town council was held on Monday evening, but little business of any impor- tance was done. A petition was received from Messrs. Reid & Wilson aad William Sclater, asking to have the price of weigh- ing coal reduced to rive cents a load, and in this cennection the council decided to give a rebate of three cents per loa.d to all parties -weighing not less than ten cars. The chair- man of the street committee was authorized to communicate with Mr. A. W. Campbell, the Provincial Road Instructor, wieh a view of getting him here to deliver an ad- dress on road making. This is certainly a very commendable thing, and we are sure that Mr. Campbell, if he -comes, will be able to give much useful information,which, if carried out, weuld greatly improve our streets. After -passing accounts to the Amount of $82,5.50, council adjourned. THE Seeeoitait Snow. -We need scarcely rernind our readers of the Show to be held in Seaforth, on Thursday and Friday of next week. The show this year is held under the auspices of tae South Huron and Tuck- ersmith Branch agricultural societies, and the directors have made every effort to make the show in every way as attraetive as poseible. The prize list is liberal and varied, while many attractions have been added which van not fail to be interesting and exciting for the spectators. There is sure to be a lenge and splendid show of live stock in every department, while in grains, -vegetables, dairy produce and fruit, there promises to be a much larger show than ever seen here before. On the -first day the principal attraction will be the foot ball match and bicycle races, while on the sec- ond day, in addition to the regular exhibits, the great tug of war contest for the valuable and liberal prizes offered by Messrs. Cole- man Brothers, of the Seaforth foundry; to- gether with the speeding contests, are sure to make a day's sport, the equal of which leas never before taken place in Seaforth, and that , is saying a good deal. If the weaeher is favoralele, therefore, there is no doubt but there will be a large crowd and a most successful show.

Mr: Jus- tice Robinson was the presidhag judge. There was not a very heavy decket. We have not -room for a full report this. week.

These were the pilineipal cases of interest and the disposition made in each. • OF LKFORTANOE 'TO FARMERS. --Exporters and shippers have to guarahtee this grade or `accept less than regular .price. It is said this will necessitate mere careful cleaning on -the part of many farmers; than has been the habit in the past. Splits and smell grains must be fairly well taken out of -peas land thin 'grains aed other light substance removed, from oats; to assure their passing the alive inspection, or loss must result to the fermet Or local dealer. There is no question that farmers are in the. best position to make " me of thie refuse or acreenings, and it will pay them better to have them removed from theiegrain before bringing it to market and thus procure the highest price,rather than leave them in .and be docked by the local dealers. It never pays to market dirty -graiti, no matter how tow the price may be. • WEDDING BEees. -On Wednesday even- ing the residence ef Mr. Joseph Upshall, of Tuckersinith, was the scene of a pleasant and interesting event. The occasion was the marriage of Mr. Upshall's daughter', Annie, to Mr. James S.Crozierot prosperous young groeery merchant of this. town. The ceremony was performed'et six o'cloek by Rev. S. Achespn, of Kippen, and wee wit- nessed by a large company of relatiees and friends -of the contracting parties. . The handsome young bride was aesisted . by her' sister, while Mr. Thomas Crozier, brother of the groom officiated as groomsman. The wedding presents were' numerous, costly and pretty, and testified to the esteem -in which the bride is held by her inany feiends. The young couple will take up their resi- dence on John street and we extend our . 'hearty good wishes for the future hapiness and prosperity of Mr. and Mrs. °ritzier. -On Thursday evening at die manse in this town a similarly' pleasing event was solemnized,. and two -loving hearts Vero made to beat as one, and two young people took upon themselves- the sterner respon- sibilities of -life. This was the marriage of Miss Maggie McMichael, second daughter of Mr. William McMichael, of the townline, of Mr. A. K. Chittenden, of this town. The yeupg couple will commence life to- gether on Mr. Chittenden's farm in Hullett, and we join with their many friends in wishing them all _possible happiness and prosperity in the future.

Th Warden and the Reeve of each municip lity were present. The commissioners, started besiness about three o'clock in the af ernoon, and after hearing an expression of the opinions . of several of the reeves, t ey adjourned -until ten O'clock Thursday fo enoon. The Warden handed in a plan for a proposed division, precisely similar to tha which appeared in TI1E EXPOSITOR in our saue of the 1st of May last. A couple of ther plans, differing somewhat from this, mere handed in, and aIl were pretty thorou hly discussed and ccassiclerecl, but the plan submitted by the Warden seemed to be received with moat l favor by the members o the county council and others present. he commissioners, however, seemed desiro s of obtaining all the information possi le, but kept their counsel tortheniselves, and expressed. no opinion as to the vie they took of the propositions made, and, qa to the hour of going to press on Thurs ay evening, their decision was not made nown. It seemed to be pretty generally dersteod, however, • THE HURON EXPOSITOR and 14--- was 'evidently the desire of the reeves, that there be only eight divisions, although the county has population entitling it to nine. But it divides more naturally inteeight divisions, and. it was considered by 'Moist that this would give all the repre- sentat on required. The repel, of the com- missio era 'will, no doubt, be known in thee for us to give full particulars next week. Nee ItLY TIME. -The Utile for the reorgant mem of -the toting Men's Literary and Debat ng club is drawing near and we wonld like t jog the memory of those interested so tha the club may be in shape in good time, hus affording a long session for plees- ure d prpfit. During the short time the -club as in existence last season it was pro - clued e of much good and afforded the mem- bereft n admirable opportunity for develop-, ing their minds and their oratory. With a longe -season its usefulness will be materi- ally 'increased, and we hope to see a much larger memberahip than there was laea sea- son. According to the constitution Of the club, we believe the nomination of officers takes plebe the firet week in October and it would be a wise thing to begin at once to look about for the best men, as a great deal of the success of the society depends on an ablnand- efficient staff of officers ; men who .will take an fictive part in everything calcu- lated to increase the interest in the society and at the same time extend its sphere of • A NEW FIELD WOR SETTLEMENT2-On Friday of la.st week, two young tnent'from the township of Morris, Meese% James Mc. Donald and Richard Buley; left here for a station coiled Barela.y pioneer farm, in the Rainy River distriot. These young men intend locating there and have taken up claims: They took with them a team of horses, a cow, and a, lot of farming im- plements and supplies. They are just tbe right kind of men to make good settlers and will, we have no doubt, do well. They prefer tbis district to either Manitoba or Dakota, and 'they think they can do better there. This district is very highly spoken of as a, most desirable spot for new settlers, and the Government are prepared to offer every reasonable inducement to good settlers. It might be well, et any rate for parties desiring to secure new homes,to visit this Rainy River district before looating either in -Manitoba or Dakota. It is in our own province, and if they can do' better there than in any other province it would be wise for them to stick to old Ontario. It is said to be not only a most fertile farm- ing district, but to be rich in minerals as well. We shall be pleased to hear from Mr. McDonald or Mr. Buley at any time, giving their views of the country for the benefit, :of our readers. • A' WONDERFUL STEER. -The Globe of Thursday . last, an its report of the In- dustrial show makes the following refer- " One qf the live curiosities of the fairls steer Weighing 2,100 pounds, aged two years. iThis animal is the property of W. ! Nichols, of Hamilton, and can be seen in cattle shed No. 12. Thie is probably one of the largest, if not the very hergest, two- year-old steer ever shown in Canada." This steer was bred by Mr. D. D. Wilson, of Seaferth, from his imported bull, " Penne Minister ;" his dam, a well bred short -horn grade, else bred by •Mr. Wilson. This steer was shewn by Mr. Wilson at the Guelph fat stock show in 1894, winning first, as a calf and weighed 1,000 pounds at eleven months. He was sold to Mr. Nichols at the show. He kept him on, showing kim again at Guelph in 1895, winning first again as a yearling and he was favored leSe some for the sweepstakes._ This year he starts out with winning first at Toronto as a two yearold with good prospects of winning wherever he will be shown, as it is conced- ed by those who should know, that there is nothing that -.tan touch him in America. If quarantine can be arranged, he will be shown at New York fat stock show. The great weight.for the age, 2,100 pounds at two -years and eight -months, shows clearly , the good feeding and early maturing 1 qualities of the cattle bred by Mr. Wilson. 1 He sold Mr. Nichols, another calf at the same time weighing 900 pounds at ten months, Which he killed for his Christmas trade and was so pleased with it that he ' wrote complimenting Mr. Wilson on his breeding and feeding, and stating " that he never killed any beast so well Matured aud finished at the age."

The deceased was one of the sturdy, early pio- neers in this district, having located along with his father's family on lot 21, second concession of the township of Hay, in the fall of 1848, which place was his home until hie death. He was a native of Perthshire, near Stirling, Scotland, and posseseed many of the virtues which belong to the " Land ef brown heath and shaggy wood." He VMS a man of sterling integrity, whose word was as good as his bond ; a kind and obliging neighbor, a true friend and a genial com- panion. Possessed of a clear bead and in- telligence above the average, coupled with a sound judgment, he was ofteu consulted by his neighbors in their time of trouble and his advice generally proved sound. Alth'ough not as ostentatious as some in the verbal profession of religioui sentiments, his many virtues proved hint to be in true touch with the only source of all good, for are we not taught by the higheia, authority of all, that the plant from which we gather figs is not a thorn, nor is the plant from whicli we gath- er grapes a thistle. Our deceased friend always took a keen intereet in public affairs, from those of the school section to those of the Dominion, and his influence which was very considerable, was always thrown into the Beale of truth and, justice, according to his light. Although not lacking a just ap- preciation of his own ability, and the esteem of his many friends, his sensitive and honorable disposition caused him to re - ,coil froni some of the means that are some- times thMight to he neceesary to secure an election 'hence he was not an aspirant to public o'ffice. In politics he was a staunch the Presbyterian denomination. Few men not in public life, were so widely known or so highly eeteemed as the late Alexander McLareti. His remains were -followed to their last resting place in Brucefield ceme- tery, by la very large concourse of sorrowing friends f om far end near. He leaves be- hind a idowed sister, and a number of nephews and neices, in comfortable circum- stances. He wee never married. At his death, h had attained tbe good old age of 74 years. That we may have more friends, more n ighbors, and more citizens like Alexand r McLaren, is the wish of all who knew hi 1. - LocAL BRIEFS -Large numbers are leav- ing here daily t .attend the exhibition at 'London, rade is soinewhat quiet in our usually tati ring illage, owing to the draw- ing attrae ion o the fair. -Miss Rogers, of Brussels, as th guest this week of Mr. and Mrs. aids. -Quite a number left here on Mond y to attend the assizes held at Goderich,s me a jerymen and others inter- ested in ea es.- he funeral of the late Mr. Alexander McL ren,of the township of Hay, was very lergely attended, testifying to the respect in whicb he was held. -The sacra- ment of the Lor 's Supper will be dispensed in Carmel p eab teritut church on Sabbath next. -Mr. nd rs.

A fortunate accident, the discovery of an undergraduate's account book for the year 1682-8, enables us to trace in- ctunparatively minute detail the ex- penses find in some measure the life of an Oxford student of no great means at. the close of the seventeenth century,. The - undergraduate in question, one - James Wilding, seems to have been a. servitor of St. Mary's Hall, and after- ward became a member of Merton col- lege. The total cost of his degree, or rather his total expenses up to the end. of the term in which he took his degree, were something less than £57, a sura which might represent in modern vaines; about three times as much. But even ; such an expenditure was large compared. with such cases as that of Whitfield, whose popularity as a servitor, gained. by his previous experience as a tapster, enabled him to take his degree in 1785,, at a cost to his friends of less than £24, and Bishop Wordsworth has recorded. instances where the entire outlay was; even less than that Board and lodging, as we have said, were extremely cheap. Though- James. Wilding seems to have lived in Oxford. the whole year round, his total expenses. for cha.mber rent and food were no more - than £10 for nearly five years. His, terminal payments were on a similarly modest scale. Ten shillings a term was. his tutees fee. Half a crown to the bar- ber, 4s. or 5s. tchis bedraaker and laun- dream, an occasional largess of sixpence, to the buttery boy aud the cook, seem to have included all of what we mar term his fiied charges. His matricalue tion cost him 7s. 6d._, his entrance to: that college 5s., and the -fees upon tak- ing his degree something over O. -- Macmillan's Magazine. A French Sculptor Insulted.
