The Council complied with the prayer of the_petition so far as to take the pre- liminary steps, and appointe•1 Mr. John A.inley to take the census and report at the December meeting. when some diffi- culty about the boundaries being ar- ranged the necessary by-law Might be passed and the first election take place at the nenal time in January. At the late meeting of the County Council Mr. litniey reported the number of inhabi- tants to be over one thousand, and sc- eardingly a by-law was passed erecting Winghasa into a separate municipality. So far all was well, but when they came to make arrangements for holding their eleotions, it was discovered that a clause had been inserted in the municipal riot, providing that in the; case of the erec- tion of a village municipality, the first election shall not be held till the first Monday in January next after the end of three months from the passing of the by-law. The pravision formerly Applied eel townships bit was only extended to villages last session. The consequence is that Wingham finds itself incorporat- ed but powerless to hold an election for municipal offieeritill January, 1875. In tee mean time it will remain under the government of the township which it is ideated, unless ie obtains a special act of parliament, for which we undentand application will be made. Any e our Tillages whicle desire to be incorporated should see that the -by-lase is pa.seud in June if they desire it to come into effect the following year.

Ve wish ell the readers of the SIGNAL a MERRY CHRISTMAS snd many happy returns, Boards of Trad.e. Vie have on several occasions directed attention to the deairability of terming a Board of Trade is this town. We now desire to point out some of the advanta- ges likely to arise from such a step. No doubt there are many who think Beards of Trade of no benefit. To those sirdid individeals who worship only the Almighty Dollar they may appear of lit- tle advantage, but to every inquiring wailed it must be evident that questions effecting the mercantile, etanufacturing and shipping interests ph our country cao be much better dean Sith by those who are engaged in these pursuits than by any other class of individuals. The g!neroment is always ready to listen to thil seggestions of the -Dominion Board et Trade, which is composed of delegates freim the local boards, and which meets in tntswe annually, just before the sa- .•esabling of Parliament. A number of important measures which have been 1 pleceif on the statute' book within the , past few years have originated with the Demitsioit Booed of Trade. Our salt in- torest is a very important one to us, and ii we bad a Board of Trade which would take into consideration the best means for its development. we inioht do much assist in plaeiug tt on a lxoter footing it lists had hereitofore. Thereil are other purely local matters ch would come under the cognizance of our Board of Trade. We all keen the present suite el our markets, that farmers can get a much higher price for their produce in the neighbouring towns end villages than they can here, and the donsequenue is that the business men.of 4 I; the town toe. thousands of dollars every I! /ear through their own apathy and in- . r difference. There is no good reason i why this state of things should exist. this is the natural market for • large Oction of country, yet farmers in the ✓ eiellbourhood of the tohirn will travel Chiles further to Clinton sud other places, because they can get more for what Usey have to sell there than they can here. Now a Board of Trade would be competent to deal with this question and would be more likely to bring about a remedy -than if it le left in the hands of private individuals. This unfortun- ' vitt. state of affairs with reference to our markets has existed for years, and in- stead of getting better it is growing worselh Indoe4 we have reason to think that certain private indiyiduals try to perpetuate the present state of affairs in order that they may line their own pockets, but they are pursuing a very near sighted policy, for they must 6e more in the long run than they gain, and besides our merchants, mechanics and others lose largely by their close-fisted policy. Questions affecting oar harbour, our roasts, insurance, and many other matters of locel and general importance would 03300 up for discuseion before s Board of Trade, and its decisions and ,. suggestions would carry much weieht with them. The expense of carrying on . a Board of Tiede is trifling, and is noth- iug compared wile the advantages do- riyed. Sarnia and, other such towns t have flourishing Boards, aad have ex- , perienced much heneht from their or- ganization. Let us not be isehind other places in this respect. fix. al PCOTPONED.-The Kentucky lottery drawing having been postponed fnr some time, those from Goderich who invested $50. in it. will have to postpone the pro- jects they intended to carry out with tho "untold wealth" they expected to realize from their investment, VITZRINARY GRADrATIS. - Among the names of those who passed a success- ful examination at the late session of the Ontario eterinary College, which closed on the llth inst., we find the fol- lowing from this County, -Robert Batrd, Brucefield John Nott,.13rtuusels and James Chaelielworth, Clinton.

Mclaaac has been elected as an independent but will support Mr. Mackenzie's gothernment. On Friday Mr. Chisholm the Reform candidate for Peel was elected by a Ma- jority of- 248, in place of the late Mr, Coyne. In Montmagny, Quebec, Mr. Laugher the Liberil candidate has been elected by a large majority. If we re- member right; seventeen &cottons have beeo held since Mr. Mackenz4Os advent to power, of which the Refermers have carried sixteen, and the other (South Leeds) they did not contest on account of a compromise entered into in 1871, by which they felt bound. South Sim coo is still vacant. D'Arey Botiltou th defeated et North Simcoo: Grey and Muskoka is the Prog. candidate and Mr. Sauniers the Reform. The latter will probably be elected.

Temperansie Hall was well filled, notwithstanding tho great attraction at Crabb's Hall on that even- ing. Rev. C. Fletcher being called to the Chair, prayer whe offered by Rev. Mr. Nugent, the oPening order was sung and Mr. Campbell grAve reading entitl- ed "The gambler's life." It wile now lin- iment:oil that the singers of the evening being all absent, Bro. Thomson would be expected to fill the gap, which he did by singing,"The Indian Lament." The lecturer RI then introdneed, Rev. Mr. Graham, who kept the close attention of the audience for nearly an hour and a half. Few abler lectures on this subject have over been delivered in Goderich ; the hearty applause which frequently greeted the speaker testifying the appreciation of the tattlers. The Rev. gentleman, after a humor- ous allution to the suilosed slowness of the Temperance movement, illustrated by a story of a poetical horse in Dublin. said that he spoke for no claseor set of men, so that be alone was responsible for the opinions he might put forward en the occaaion. He glanced at the his- tory of the movement, and showed that such men as John Wesley and Dr. Foth- erIngham were thought temperance men -Wealey laid it down as a law that members uf his societies were not to par- take of liquor exoept in oases of eztretns necessity. It is tree that the societies have now suppreseed the word extretne, but it certainly stood in the original rule. Tho present aspect of the case is favorable. At one time a clergyman boldly avowed that to sign a pledge of total abstinence was a direct *Mack upon the Godhead. But now the evil is ad- mitted by ell. And Teniperance advo- cates are at one in regard to tho end to be aimed at, the difference of opinion is in thigard to the means to by used. These, in the past,have been moral sua- sion, religious principle, and legal enactmeet. As to the two first of these means, the speaker did not profess un- limited fsith. Both of them will do good, and great good, bnt if we depend entirely on them we will bave a Lrge failure. The presence of Inebriate Arty- lurea in the States, England said here, proves that no one depends entirely up- on these means. The Biahop et Ontario, who bas lately delivered • speech advo- cating Prohibition says We must make this a political gumption ; but thia has been dews for the last 600 years, -the real issue is, how far shall this be oar- ried as a political questicrn 1 Our license system, the speaker believed to have done good, but the amomalies in connec- tion therewith and the objections to it are serious. One objection to it ix that it makes the men weo deals in it respect- able, although he is always ashamed of the results. Fancy our respectable tayern keeper exhibiting 10 or 15 dried drunkards as the specimens of his sue - moms in trade at our Natienal Exhibition*: Another objection is the responeibility which it brings upon the public. Every man who favors a license system shares in the responaibility dd. Besides, and more than ell, it L an sohnitted evil, and shall we lionize evil 1 No 1 '07.40, althmagli Maine Disasters.
