Seaforth.
The of ioerri and members of Brit !,
annia Lodge A. F. and A. M., issued in-
vitations for their second informal At
Home which was held in the lodge room
on Tuesday, Nov. 29th. On the corner
of the invitation is the inscription
"Bring your Pipe and Tobacco, " Those
who were present last year looked for-
ward and not in vain toanother pleasant
gathering of the brethren and an even,
ing spent with the never failing source
of pleasure to the smoker, namely,
' the pipe."
Smokers seem to be the rage as
amusements for the nausouline sex
at present. The Beaver lacrosse club
held their second one in the town hall
Friday evening . If possible every one
given by this club increases their popu-
larity among those gentlemen in our
town who enjoy a quiet game of cards
accompanied by firet.class tobacco in its
various forms.
Mrs. Jas. Watson and children are
visiting at Mrs. Watson's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Leslie, of Clinton.
The gentlemen of our town who were
on hunting expeditions in northern
Ontario have all returned.
Margaret Johnston, wife of Mr. Mur -
(loch Cowbell, of this town, has passed
over to the silent majority. Although
not entirely unexpected, Mrs. Camp-
bell's death was a particularly sad one.
About two years ago she had an attack
of la grippe, but, apart from a slight
cough, was in good health until about
four weeks previous to her death. On
that day she was out doing some shopps
ing, and had reached the residence of
Mr. George Sills on the way home when
she was taken with a hemorrhage and
had to be carried home. From that
time she gradually grew weaker until
death relieved her of her sufferings.
Mrs. Campbell was aged 62 years and 7
months. She was born ib the county of
Armanagh, Ireland, and with her
parents emigrated to this country in
1854, settling in l\ orris township in this
county. In 1883 she was married to
her now bereft husband, the ceremony
having been performed in Clinton
by
r
g
Y
Rev. Dr. McDonald, of this town who
was then pastor of the Presbyterian
church in Clinton. Besides her hus•
band, she leaves a family of six sons and
one daughter to monrn the loos of a
true helpmate and loving mother.
Brussels.
J. T. Jones shipped a car of dressed
poultry a few days ago. He has paid
out about 62,500 for poultry here. This
is a big item of income for the farmers
in this neighborhood and it is some-
thing that could be largely increased.
Two things should be kept in mind by
those engaged in raising poultry for
the market. First to keep the best
breeds, they don't cost any more to
keep, usually less than poorer kinds,
and then to have them well -fattened
before selling. By paying more at-
tention to these two points this busi-
ness can be increased to an almost un-
limited extent.
W. F. Stewart got in two oars of corn
and R. Rose one last week. There
seems to be a good deal of corn fed at
present and at the market quotation of
corn and peas it should pay to feed corn
and sell the peas. Pork packers are
raising a warning voice against this,
however, as it is claimed that corn -fed
bacon will not suit the English market,
where our choice bacon at present goes.
There is a danger that in trying to
make more money a good market may
be spoiled.
The death is announced at Belfast,
Ireland, of Rev. Dr. Kane, rector .of
Christ church and Grand Master of the
Belfast Orangemen. The rev. gentles
man made a tour of Canada at the time
the Home Rule agitation was hot in
Ireland.

The Saturday Utica Globe gives a
portrait of T. McGillicuddy, a former
townsman, and the following sketch of
his life :—Thomas McGilliouddy of To-
ronto, who was recently elected presi-
dent of the Provincial Sabbath School
Association at the 23rd annual meeting
of that body at Peterboro', was born in
Ileland November 5th, 1854, at the foot
of•the ancestral hills known as the Mo-
Gillicuddy's Reeks, and is the sonof a
Crimean veteran who won the dis-
tinguished bonduot medal at Inkerman.
Our subject name to this country with
his parents when quite a small child.
He learned the printing business and
has run the gamut from printer's devil
to editor and publisher ;having in cons
junction with his brother, D. McGilli-
oudd thepresent editor of the Gode-
rich Signal, onducted several live and
up -to' -date papers. Some 11 years ago

portant position in the department of
agriculture at Toronto.

who intends becoming a resident of

Jacob Miller, contractor, has bought
the Alex. McKenzie farm, north half of
lot 74, 1st con,, Kinloss, three miles
from the village of Luoknow.
Mr. Douglas superintendent of the
Banff' National Park, suggests that the
size of the park should be increased by
taking in the watershed of the Bow
river. The extension would be used
as a game preserve and would be
under the park management.

A Goderich Township
Defender of Michigan
To the Editor of THE NEWS -RECORD.
Sirs In a recent issue of your con-
temporary I noticed that a certain
gentleman who had been on a visit to
Senlao county, Michigan, says he saw
nothing but log buildings and not a
bank barn. Now, I hive been in that
county and can state that such is not
the case. I could name many owners
of good farms and buildings, but
will content myself with a few who will
be known by many residents of Huron
county. Mr. David Welsh, brother of
Mr. Robert Welsh of Clinton, has a
neat frame dwelling and a good bank
barn,while Mr. Johnston, a brother•in%
law, is almost equally well equipped.
Mr. Graham, brother of Mr. James Gra-
ham of this township, has a comforts
able dwelling and a commodious bank
barn, and Wesley and Peter Cole have
both fine frame dwellings and out-
buildings. Upon the latter's farm
there is a nosy Baptist church and also
a school house and the Methodists this
past summer erected a church that
would be a credit to any community.
My principal object in drawing atten-
tion to the prosperity of Senlao county
is because so many of our old friends
and relatives have settled there. Of
course we would sooner have them
here, but as it is we are glad to know
that they are doing well.

The First Celebration of
Christmas.
Christmas was first oelebrated in the
year 98, but -it was forty years later be-
fore it was officially adopted as a
Christian festival ; nor was it until
about the fifth century that the day of
its celebration became permanently
fixed on the twenty-fifth of December.
Up to that time it bad been irregularly
observed at various Ones of the year --in
December, in April and in May, but
most frequently in January.—Deoember

America and England in China.
The recent collapse of China has
opened up one of tbegreatest questions
of our time. Is this vast country, with
untold mineral and other resources,
end with a population of four hundred
millions of frugal, industrious people,
to be partitioned among European
nations 7 Ie the greatest potential
market of the world to be permanently
closed to general trade, or is it to re-
main open, with its incaloulable possi-
bilities, to all nations on equal terms ?
The interest of the United States in the •
decision is the same as that of Great
Britain. If it should ever be necessary
to enter into negotiations, in order to
secure to all the world an equal oppor-
tunity in regard to this eommeree It
oan not be doubted that they would be
infinitely more Influential if banked by
the joint aotion of the United States
and Great Britain, than 0 either of
these Powers held aloof.—Prom "Re•
