Moles, a former dental student of Dr. Audereon, of Mitehell, has passed his final examination ae the dental college, Toronto, and is now qualified to practice dentistry in any part of Ontario. - -Rev. W. H. (:rant, moderator of the Houma Presbytery, of China, arrived in St. Marya, on Monday of last week. He came via San Francisco. Mr. Grant has been eight years out in that part of China, and is on furlough. He is a son of Rev. A. Grant, of Knox church. tion in the United States. About _two years ago he went to Iowa, on a prospecting tour. After reaching there he took up the drug business, and reoently graduated with hon- ors in pharmacy in both Iowa and Min- neaota, and now holds a good position in Montour, Iowa. Mr. Scott is a steady, en- terprising young man and hie many friends in old Huron will be' pleased to learn that he is doing so well in the, land of his adop- tion. SOME EOGS.-A few weeks ago we made note of a record of egg laying by some hens belopging to Miss Harvey, of Harpurhey. The Manitoba bens heard of it, and not wishing to be outdone by their Ontario ex- perts, went to work to beat the established record. The result has just been sent us by Mr. George W. Beirnea, of Solsgarth, Man- itoba who, by the way, is a forrner Huron- ite. the three nonths, January, Febi u- ary and March, he- received fiom ten hens 1,101 eggs, which e sold for twenty cents a dozen cash, Mr Beirnes would now like to hear of any heni, either in Ontario or Manitoba, that can smash this record. • SEAFORTII'S ASSESSMENT. -Mr. William Ballantyne, town assessor, has returned his roll and from it we glean the following statistics : The assessed value of real property is $559,420 ; personal preperty, $55,150 taxable income, ;$8,950 ; total, %623,520'. This is a decrease in the total nesessment from 1899 of $5,885 ; the de- crease in the assessed value of real property being $7,450 ; while there is an increase in personal property of $2,150. There are 675 children between the ages of 5 and 21 years ; 418 between the ages of 5 and 16. The to- tal 'population is 2,426, or an inorease of 13 over 1899. There were 21 births and 13 deaths ; cattle, 40 ; horses, 159 ; doge, 103 ; steam boilers, 17.

GRIEVE. -Mrs. William Grieve of McKillop, died on Thursday of 1\last week, after a leng and painful illness, 1 which she bore with great patience and fortitude. Mrs. Grieve's maiden name was Elizabeth MoMichael. She was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Thomas McMich- ael, of Hallett, and mother of Mr. John Grieve, V. 8., Seaforth, and Thomas Grieve, Tuelteremith. She was aged 50 years and 11 months. She was a native Canadian, having been bora on the old homestead farm in Hallett, now occupied by her brother, Mr. James McMichael. Besides her hus- band, she leaves's, family of three sons and four daughters, h,11 of whom are grown to the estate of men and women. The deceased had a very large family connection in this vicinity, and most o them were represented ae the funeral on _ aturday, paying a last tribute'to the memory of one whom they all held so dear. She was of an amiable, kindly disposition, and to kpow her was to esteem her. She will, hoprever, be particularly missed in the hoine circle, where she was the central and most beloved figure. The sympathy of many friends will be extended to the bereaved husband and family. • THE LADIES' AID ENTERTAINMENT. -The entertainment in the Methodist church, on Tuesday evening, given by Misa McCallum, elocutionist, and Miss Bertie Doble, pianist, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid of the church, was quite a success in every respect. There was a nice audience, although the merits of the entertainment deserved a larger gathering. Mits McCallnua, as an elocutionist, fully sustained the high repu- tation she bears. Her selections were well chosen and well rendered. She has a pleas- ing presence and manner and her elocution- ary powers are fully in keeping with her other good qualities. She was especially strong in her Kipling teleotions. This was Miss Doble's first appearance before a Sea - forth audience since her return frone Ger- many, and, we are sure that all who heard her were delighted. Her selections sholwed careful treiuine and skilful manipulation, and she cannot fail to be a favorite wher- ever she may appear. The entertainment provided a pleasing hour for all present, and welliave no doubt but all who listened to both ladies on Tuesday night will be pleased to have another opportunity of spending so pleasant an evening. • THE COLLEGIATE EASTER EXAMINATIONS., -The following list shows an abstract and digest of the result of the recent examina- tions. The standing of each pupil is calcu- lated from the average per oentage on all the subjects on which the candidate wrote. There are numerous eptions that produce considerable variety in the numb r of isab- iecto taken. It also happens ire several causes that some students were abs nt from one or more examinations. W ere this absence is unavoidable and proi erly ac- counted for, the student is allowed his per ceittage on the papers actually ta en ; but bther cases no such allowance r made, and students who are absent wi hout an explanation are graded on the whole num- ber of oubjects they should have taken. In Class I are placed those who have made an average of 66 per cent. and over ; in Class II those whose average is between 66 per cent. and 50Jser cent. ; and in Class i those whose average falls below '50 per cent. All the names nre in order of merit. As thio strict classification costs a good deal 1, of time and pains? every parent and patron of the school should look into the results with a reasonable amount of care. Stu- dents who have fallen behind on the total have 'still time left, to hrace up weak sub• jects. The next test will be given during the last week of this montli.

Everv Tuesday hams- day. 1690-1 • THE BROADFOOT & Box FURNITURE FAC- TORY. -It has been known for some time that the Broadfoot & Box Furniture Fac- tory, in which the people of Seaforth are so deeply interested, -it being the leading man- ufacturing industry in town, was likely, to be absorbed by a large company of furniture manufacturers which was about being formed. The former uncertainty has now become a certainty. The company, com- posed of many of the furniture manufac- turers of the province, has been organized, and the Broadfoot & Box establishment has joined with the others. It is expected that the new company will assume possession about the first of June. Mr. Shaw, the secretary of the new company, was in town on Wednesday, and by appointment met with several membete of the Board of Tonle and many other leading citizens. He explained to' them very fully the situation of affairs and while doing so gave assur- ances calculated toexpel the fear that had rested 'With some, that in the event of this amalgamation the faotory here might be closed or • have its operations curtailed. He maid the object of the amalgamation is to cheapen working expenses and to enable the company to specialize, and thus retain both the Canadian and British trade. ln- *item' of the works here being curtailed, the probability is that they will lie materially enlarged and that a larger bueinese than ever before °will be carried on. Mr. Shaw has thearreatest confidence in the future of the business and strongly recommends the stook of the oompany to any who have mouey seeking investment. He alio hinted that, in the interests of the town, it would be advisable if ae many of our citizens as can afford . to do so, would take eome stook in the new company, as all having stook will have more or less voice 'in the affairs of the company, while at the same time they would be making an investment which will be almostaiertain to return a good dividend. Stock can be had in shares of one hundred dollars each. Many of the manufacturers who are joining the new company are taking the entire price of their plant and business in stook, thus showing that those most in- terested have the fullest confidence in the enterprise.- There is this certainty at any rate, that no line of business has been more sucoessful or yielded larger prefitS during the past ten or fifteen years, than the fur- niture business, and with the improved con- ditions the trade should be more profitable in the future than it has been in the past. • 1 LOCAL Blueete-The district deputy Grand Master will visit Britannia Masonic ledge next Monday evening and after labor will be entertained at a banquet by the brethren of Britannite-Mr. Allan S.
