ANOTHER BANK FAILURB.—The private
banking house of Logan & Co., in this town,
suspended payment on Saturday last, and
an assignment has been made to Mr. John
Weir as trustee. This was an Old burliness,
-having been eetablished a good niftily years
ago by the lateMr. S. G. McCaughey and
Mr. William Logan. When Mr. McCaughey
died his interest was taken over by Mr.John
Weir, who ultimately sold to Mr. Robert
Logan, the present proprietor, who, for sev-
eral years, has done a large business. Mr.
Logan, however, had another bank in Glen -
biro', Manitoba, which he had established
before eoming to Seaforth. His standing in
1895 was given as follows : For the Glen -
bore' bank he had a line of credit with the
Bank of Montreal .at ;Winnipeg of about
$30,000, His surplus inlaillenboro' branch, he
thought, would be about $12,000 over li-
abilities of $20,000 to $25,000, mostly due to
the bankers. His surplus in the Seaforth
business he estimated at $10,000 over liabili-
ties of $13,000, due to depositors, and from
$18,000 to $20,000 due to the Bank of Mon -
treat at Stratford, And other accounts. The
Seaforth business hag always been profitable,
and the present trouble is due to losses in
Manitoba. The deposits in the Seaforth
bank amount to about $6,000, not a very
large sum, but hovi the estate will pan out,
it is impossible to say. Much sympathy is
felt for Mr. Logan in his difficulties. A few
years ago, if not rich, he was in good cir-
cumstances, and now he ruts nothing, having
given up all to his creditors. Such are the
vicisitudes of this life.
THAT RESOLUTION.—The following reso-
lution, which speaks for itself, and which
we publish by request, was passed by the
Collegiate Institute Board,at a meeting held
pia the 5th of August : " That this board
retra.ct the charge of want of 'discipline
Made againet Mr. Thompion, so far as the
board is concerned ; but knowing the feel-
ing at present existing between himself and
the principal, realize the two cannot ad to-
gether with any probability of serving the
best interests of the school, and cannot,
therefore, eee its way to recall the request
for Mr. Thompson's resignation and is com-
pelled to wept his resignation as tendered."
A HORTICULTUR4sL Strow.—At a regular
meeting of the Horticultural Society, of
this town, it was decided toe hold a flower
show, under the auspices of the society. The
show will be held in the Agricultural hall,
and the dates fixed are September Gth, Tth
and Sth. A good prize- list has beenpre-
pared, and it is expected that there will be
a large display of flowers. The hall will be
lighted by 'electric light, and tastefully
decorated with bunting, etc., for the oc-
casion. As this is the first show of the
kind, ever held in Seaforth, it is expected
that it will be an attractive feature of the
fall season. It has been tried in some of
the neighboring towns, road has met with
unbounded success.
BACON FOR NEw YORE-C.—The excellence of
the bacon manufactured by T. R. F. Case &
Co., of this town, is becoming universally
known. Oa the recomraendation of a party
who had partaken of their bacon ip Toron-
to, a large New York dealer has sent them
an order, offering a price which will pay the
firm a larger margin,a.fter paying the heavy
duty, than the same article does in the Can-
adian markets. Thiel bacon will be put up
in the most tempting fashion; that it may
tickle the palates of the epicures of the
American Metropolis. It is always profit-
able to turn out a good article and Messrs.
Case & Co. are reaping the benefits which
their painstaking and strict personal euper-
yisiou of their business deserves.
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.—Another pio-
neer in the person of Mr. John Walker, of
the kill Itoad, Tuckersmith, has departed
this life. He passed peacefully away at the
residence of his neice, Mrs. Edward Papple,
where he has usually mad& his home for the
past few years, on Monday. . He had
reached the good age of 84 years. He was
the eldest brother of the late Meesrs.Ceoree
and David Walker, and was the last sur-
viving member of that family. He came to
this country with his brothers and other
members of the family, and himself and his
brothers were among the first settlers in
Tackersmith, Re was never married, and
resided with his brothers and sister, Mrs.
David Campbell, but made his home mostly
with his brother, David. He was a quiet,
inoffensive, industrious man who lived very
much by himself, but was much respected
by those who knew him. • He is the last sur-
vivor of a once prominent and usefal family
who have left an indelible mark on the his-
tory of this county. His retnains were in-
terred in Beird's cemetery on Wednesday.

county parpeses more than last year; so
that the rate will need to be two-tenths of a
mill higher, and the township tate will nec-
essarily be a little higher also on account of
building two new bridges ; the school taxes
will be $4,300, or nearle the same as last
year. A resolution was passed authorizing
the reeve and clerk to destroy all the old
and useless papers that have accumulated in

40 years. Council adjourned until called

NOTES.—WIR. Reid has purchased a half
interest in a new threshing machine with a
dust collector attached. Every farmer
should patronize a machine with a duster
attached, as it is one of the grandeat inven-
tions of the age fer farmers and those who
hitherto have been forced to inhale into the
lungs and also take into the stomach an
alarming quantity of dirt and smut—Mee-

NOTES. —Several farmers in this township
have finished harvest, and had the weather

bushels per acre.—Mr. E. R. Suswell, son

NOTES.—Mrs. Baird is at present visiting
friends in Guelph.—We are pleased to say
that Mrs, Aikenhead, who has been so very
poorly for the past two weeks, has got the
change and is slowly improving.—Mention
was made last week of sheep being worried
by doge•and we are sorry that this week Mr.
Geo. Baird had three valuable animals killed
in the same manner. Mr. Baird caeght the
dogs in the very act, causing them to take
flight or Ms loss would have been muck -
greater. The lose of Mr. Fraser and Mr.
McGowan last week would amount to $50
each and Mr. Baird's at the least $25. It is
certainly very annoying to bave one's pro-
perty destroyed in such a wantonly manner
and we can' only say that anyone who would
persist in keeping a dog that would kill
sheep is a most extremely selfish person and
unworthy of the esteem or confidence of
anyone. It is impossible for these dogs- to
be at this work unknown to the owners and
we would foresearn them that if the animals
are discovered they, the owners, will be
dealt with as the law directs and will be
compelled to make good the full extent of
the property destroyed.—Miss N. O'Neil
