BASE Bene.—The Goderich and Seaforth base ball teams met on the recreation grounds on Friday afternoon last. It was generally expected that Goderich would win and they themselves looked for a walk over. The game was an interesting one, but God- erich proved to be more expert base runners and when Seaforth went in for their last innings, the score stood 16 to 3 against them. At this point the Goderieh players had a cue of " rateles " and the home play- ers trotted around•the diamond until they had added seven more rune to their score. Any old hit was good for run, and the crowd had lots of fun. But this couldn't go on always, and despite their muddled condition the Gelded& men managed to get eut the regulation three, and thus eaved themselves from permanent disgrace. God- erich play very good ball, but spoil the ef- fect with their everlasting and often eenseleas kicking against deciaions of the umpire.- As long as things are going their way they are happy, otherwise they wrangle and quarrel like a lot of hcodoos.

The riders finished in the following order : Chesney, Baldwin, Crich, Bell and Aberhart. There was con- siderable interest in the race, and ahe friends Of the riders were looking 'for their favorite to win. The winner of the cup was the rider who had made the most points in the several races during the sea- son, and George Bell,having made the larg- est score, will hold the coveted trophy for this season. Bell is a plucky little rider, and in the last couple of races, he made a .splendid showing, mounted on a. Stearns' racer. With a little more experience he will hustle most of the fellows. HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES.—We cull the following items of what is transpiring. at the county House of Refuge from the Olin- - ton New Era :—Last Sunday night or Mon- day morning Christina Martin, who has been an inmate from Grey township since the opening, absconded ; she will be brought back if information can be obtained as to her whereabouts ; any person.-droping a card to Laspector Coats, Clinton, would confer a favor.

'A small box of table salt always stands open for inapection. Thirty years' experience in manufacturing Belt enables the firm to put an absolutely pure article on the market.

After the routine business was transacted, the candidates for the Model schools were allotted to their respective places. The following resolution was then carried : " That all teachers with third class certificates of primary standing who have taught two years. receive no further exteneion." Inspector Robb strong- ly opposed this, maintaining that holders of third class certificates who had lost six months' time or more through sickness or inability to obtain a echoer at a fair- ly remunerative salary, should be al- lowed the three full year.' right to teach, covered by their certificates. At the final examination Mr. Moore was appointed to_ read the papers on " The Science of Edu- cation" ; Mr. Robb, " School /sianage- Tom, " I Paper in Methods," and " Hy- giene," and Mr. Baird, School LaW."— GEORGE BAIRD, Secretary, Clinton.

FOR TORONTO.—The Great Toronto Ex. hibition is now about over for another year. It, is said by those who are in a position to know that it was more successful this year, both in attendance and in the numbeis and qualiby of the exhibits, than ever before. At -any rate, it is universally admitted to be the best and greatest show of the kind on the Amerierin continent, and in this reaped, it is typical of the resources of the country and the enterprise and thrift of the Canadian people. Seater% and vicinity sent its quota both et visitors and exhibitors. The following a statement of the tickets sold on ,each of the cheap fare days : Thursday, other times 38, Making in all 229 tioketa sold at Seaforth station for Toronto during Exhibition time. There were not many from the country who went down this year, the greater number being from the town. This may be accounted for by the busy time among farmers, and the fact " that many business men take advantage of the cheap' fares to visit the 'city on business and take in the show at the same 'time. The West- ern at London will be on next week, and a good many, from this county always visit the Forest City at fair time. • DNATEE OF PROMISING YOUNG MAN. — Mr. John Campbell. of the 6th concession of Tuckersmith, died on Tuesday last. Mr. Campbell was a couple of years ago a strong, robust looking young man, but about a year ago he became afflicted with that terribly fatal disease, consumption, and after long and patient suffering passed away as above stated. Mr. Campbell was 39 years of age and was unmarried. His father died several years ago and his mother who was a sister of the Messrs. Scott, oethe Kippen road, died a few years ago. A brother and other members of the family also died of the same disease, and the subject of these remarks was the last survivor of hie family, and the only surviving relative of the family is Mrs. William Allem of Egmondville who is a sister of the deceased's father. '1,1ri. Camp- bell was a quiet, good living, industrious young man, who was much and deservedly respected by all who knew him. He was .a native of the township of Tuederemith, and him early death is greatly eegretted by a large arcle of friends. The funeral took place on Thursday. The remains were inter- red in the Egmonclville cemetery, beside those of the other members of the family. FOR choice Vinegar's and pure Spices, go to A. YOUNG, Seaforth. 1550 SEEDS ! SEEDS !

The possibility of getting in an alarm in time was too alight, but things have changed, and the kick is coming the other way, we are getting too many alarms, when there is no cause for them. Thursday evening, shortly after seven o'clock, the whistle bellowed forth, and the firemen rushed up street, heading ter the temper- ance hall, where the alarm registered from, and a crowd of citisens followed in the wake of the firemen. -But of course there was no fire and no alarm had apparently been given as the glass in the call box was not broken. On Saturday people had hard- ly gotten over their dinners when there was another alarm and another bellowing of the whistle. But the only thing that could be found was an angry group of fire- men and a crowd of disgusted people. It was the temperance hall box again. On Taesday an alarm was given as coming from the box at the corner of Goderich and Main streets, but things were stifled before the whistle got a chance to get in its work. To say the least, such a state of affairs is an- eoying and dangerous, as when a genuine alarm does come, people will not feel clis. poaed to respond. This state of things has been going on for some months, but as far as we can learn no action has been taken eto remedy the matter. The council should not delay another day, but either discard the system for something better, or put it in proper shape. • Tut YOl7NG MEN' Cams -Haw ASSOCIA- TION.—At a meeting, of the active members of this excellent and worthy association, a plan for the coming season's operations was prepared. Under the direction ef the De- votional committee, the regular Sabbath morning class will be aontinued, and the In- ternational lessons will form the subject for consideration. This clam will begin for the season on Sunday morning next. There will also be an elementary -class for system- atic Bible study, each Wednesday evening, together with °tensional addresses on scriptural subjects. Under the direction of the entertainment committee the rooms will potatoes in this vicinity, bat it is hoped the continued dry weather . will check its progress to some extent...—. We spent a short time very pleasantly on Tuesday evening at the flower show in' town. Every department was very credit- ably filled and many of the entries were marvek of beauty and perfection. The 'dahlias, gladiolas, tuberous, begonias, hi- biscus and sweet peas desplays were things of great beauty. But the bansna tree in frutt and bloom was worth, as a sight, mach and most interesting and instructive litera- ture and there will be an elementary glee deb for young men only. It is also intend- ed to have special monthly entertainments, at which practical addresses will be given and buitable music provided. Ladies will be made welcome at the Sabbath morning class. As will be seen, a very :3omprehen- sive programme is to be, provided for the season and we hope the efforts being put forth will be availed of by both old and yonng, and especially by the latter.

Mr. Devereaux has been laid up with sickness for some time nowe and at one time butlittle hopes were entertained for his recovery,but we are glad to know that he is conaderabl better be - A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.A peculiar coincidence which is worth repeating here, was related' to us a few days ago. It re- lates to two former worthy citizens of this vicinity, who have some time ago departed this life. The parties are the late James Dickson, Esq., and the late Mr. William Campbell, of Tueltersmith. It seems that, during their life time there was a close in:. timacy between the two men. Mr. Camp- bell always placed the utmost confidence in Mr. Dickson, and very freqnently con- sulted him about business affaIrs and in- trusted him to transact important business for him. Mr. Dickson,. of course, in those early days was in businese in Egmondville and represented the district in Parliament. Thirty-five or frirty years ago Mr. Campbell became possessed of a donsiderable sum of money bequeathed to 'him by his father. Having no immediate use for the money, he gave it to his friend, Mr. Dickson to invest for him. Some years after tint Mr. Camp- bell died, and nothing more was heard about the Money until a year or two before Mr. Dickson's death. The heirs of Mr. Cemp- bell, in some way came across some data among his papers which led them to believe that this money had been given to Mr. Dickson. They applied to him about it. Thirty years or more having elapsed since the transaction, Mr. Dickson -had forgotten all about it, and could not bring it to his recollection. However, he knew that if he had received the money he had deposited it in the bank of Montreal, which was the only bank doing business in these parts at the time. Accordingly he went to the Bank of Montreal ot Goderich and a short search irevealed the fact that the money had been lying there at interest' in Mr. Campbell's name, where it had been deposited, by Mr. Dickson, over thirty years before. THE FLOWER Snow.—The flower show held here on Monday, Tuesday and Wed.. nesday last, under the auspices of the Sea - forth Horticultural Society, was a grati- fying anemia in eveey respect. In fact, it was a revelatiOn to' all who visited it, as no person supposed that so large a display • of rare andheautiful plants and flowers could be made here. The itore in Cardno's block, in which the show was held, was neatly and artistically decorated, and the flowers and plants exhibited were so tastefully and ap- propriately arranged, as to. give the place the appeaeance of fishy land, and too much credit cannot be given to the lady members of the managing board for the taste they displayed, and the time and labor they must have devoted in making the place so very attractive. The building was prettily decorated with flags, bpnting, crowns made of evergreens, golden aod, grain and- autumn leaves, and at niOrt was brilliantly lighted by autylene lights.' The flowers that were exhibited were mostly annuals, but beside these there were some very rare plants, viz.: a. banana in fruitage, a Chinese hibiscus in bloom, two orange trees in fruitage, an im- mense balsam, a screav palm, and tropical ferns. The cultivation of the aster seems to be very popular among the florists of Seaforth, judging from the quantities and varieties, both in pots and cut flowers, which were to be seen in the hall. By far the largest exhibit has been made of the aster. The gladiolus and dahlias ranked second.for profusion and variety. The dis- play of cut flowers was abundant. The Clinton Horticultural Society very kindly sent down -a beautiful collection, which- had been on exhibition at their show, and which added not a Little to the attractiveness of the general collection. This was the first show of the, kind era:1r held here, and we are sure that its succus will not only stimu- late increased intermit in floriculture, but will induce the society to redouble their efforts to have even a larger and better dis- play next year. We are sorry that the list of prize winners was not obtainable in time for this issue, and we can, therefore, only promise it for next week. • LOCAL BRIEFS.—Mrs. Jas.
