C*ILSrstee, with its goal cheer, is up -
un us, and although we have not been
blessed with the seasonable snow -falls
which at this time of the year we look
upon as being' due to our Canadian cli-
mate, still all are endeavoring to make
,the holiday season as apparent as they
possibly can. The little ones are anx-
iously awaiti.ig the arrival of Santa
Claus, while those of more mature years
are seeking, so tar as in them lies, tocar-
ry out in practice what the angels of
old enjoined when they sang to the
Shepherds of Bethlehem, "Peace on
earth; Goisl will to men." It is fitting
that at some point in the year's length,
joy and happiness should fill all hearts,
for many there be who have but little
time or inclinatiou for pleasure during
the greater part of the yearly round.
We join, therefore, our readers in their
gladsomeness, and wish t•ne and all "A
Merry Christmaa"
Tin candidature of Mr. Joseph Wil-
liams, for the 14 Deputy-Reeveship of
Goderich fur -1882, is meeting with tI.e
approbation of the ratepayers in all dir-
ections. 1882 promises to be an ;.vent-
ful year in the history of Goder'ch, and
it is necessary that the best men avail-
able should be elected to serve the tewn.
Mr. % illiams, during the past year, has
proved himself to•be worthy of the con-
fidence of the people of the town, and
already has placed himself in the front
rank of our progressive men. At the
last public meeting, held, he gained for
himself a "reput.ation and a name' as a
clear and forcible exponent of progress-
ive and intelligent views. On the rail-
way question no Mali at the Board has
sought to keep better posted than he.
In his extedkice business relations, and
a, an employer of labor, he has the confi-
dence of his customers and the, esteem
of • his employees: His public-spirited-
ness, and sound cutuluon sense on public
matters will at once' cwmnend him to
those of the electors oho have the .wel-
fare of the town at heart. For these
and other reasons we bespeak f .r Mr.
Williaine a cordial and steady support ;
• for a position; the incmnbeat of which
will be enabled td exercise considerable
intlue:me in the interest of t ;tderich for I
1882. Do not allow "button -holing- to

THE HURON SIGNAL, FRIDAY DEO. 23, 1881.
Ttmelection in West Noethumbse•laad(
un Monday last, resulted in the return of
Mr. Guilette, .the Conservative Candi-
date by the close vote of O8. The re-
sult is a decrease in the mtjurity of 20, as
compared with that of 118,8, The close
of the 1.,I1 leaves the constitueucy in ex-
; actly the same position as when it was
I represented by Hon Juhn Cockburn, the
j retired member. Cobuuru increased its
Conservative majority by some 57 votes,
but the rural municipalities gave a lento
Reform gain, clearly proving that the
farming community are not euatnore•I of
the N. P. siren.
IT la Said that Mr. Stephens has nnni-
iaally transferred his C. V. It. stock
over to the G. W. It. If this be so,
thee. the 0. W. It. will practically have
the oontroiling influence of the C. V. R.,
as Mr. Stephens' interest was a bulky
one. At the present writing it is diffi-
cult to forecast what the result will be.
Some there' are who conte):d that on
the amalgamating of the C. V. R. with
the G. W. 11., restitution, for bo:.uses
given, must be made to the municipali-
ties that voted the bonuses by guarded
by-laws, while .others believe that the
absorption of the weaker line can be ac-
complished, despite Legislative interfer-
ence, by a fusion of theWrads and yet
nominally retaining two Boards. The
latter ides would be a little expensive,
as well as cumbrous, and we fail to see
that it would be in the interest of the G.
W. R., although it might possibly burk
the efforts of the deceived mnnicipali;
ties, so far as getting back their bonuses
is concerned.

Nothwithstanding the drizzling rain.
and the soft condition of the roads, there
was a good turnout at the Chr''•istmsm show
of fat cattle, fowl, etc., yesterday. The
cumber of entries was large. Some tine
specimens of pork and mutton were on
exhibition, and the large array of poultry'
was something unexpected: There were
some good fat cattle shown, which were
quickly bid in by our local butchers.
The society deserves credit for treating
the public to so tine and so free an ex-
