The annual meeting of the South Huron Ag'l Society will be held at Brucefieid on January 17, The ccuutry roads aro not as badly drifted in consequence of the storm, as one would imagine. The trains were "delayed on Tuesday, owing to a blockade of snow. They are now running on time. The most irksome thing on earth is .a fool that is near but yet so far that a boot will not reach him. It takes a strong man to hold his own thoughts so much in subjection that they will not worry him.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 12th 1393. LOCAL HAPPENINGS, Green Goods. Of late, ,,a large Dumber of "Green Goode" circulars have been received by people in this section. To those who have received them, it will be interesting to know that an important seizure of a large printing establishment used by the "Green Goods" men has been made in New York. When the police entered the place two cylinder presses were turning out the confidential letters which are used to de- coy victims to the headquarters of the aharpera. A vast number of bogus tele- graph blanks were on hand. There were some 870,000 circulars ready for mailing, eo that the onerators had laid plans for an 'extensive business. Tho moat cunningly devised productions consisted of thousands of imitation newspaper clippings purport- ing to detail a police court trial at which the presiding magistrate discharges the counterfeiters because the bad money is so -perfect that treasury experts dare not swear it is forged. No green goods were found. The only green goods of use to the swindlers are the soft headed vi,:tims who are duped by their schemes. To MRs. ISAAC HA xv AND FAMILY,— We, the Defiance Fire Company, No- 2, extend to you and the family our aympa- thy in the bereavement you have just undergone in losing from your household the husband and father, who has bean so kind and affectionate. Nothing we can .say or do can alleviate the lose or lessen the sorrow through which you bave been compelled to pass, We have experienced in Mr. Handford a good comrade, always jovial and friendly, and ever ready to give a helping hand when called upon to do hie ditty ; but now we will mise him from his post, and we doubt whether we can secure a Fireman who will be capable of filling his place in our ranks.

Meth, Sabbath School will be held on Sunday week. The Young People's Society of the James -at church gave a social on Tuesday evening, but owing to the weather being stormy, the attendance was small, Itdoes not occur to the oldest inhabitant of awinter of more snow than we have at present in this section. Businrrea'was sus- pended the forepart of the week, There was akating on the rink on Satur- day evening for a short time, but the heavy fall of snow made it uupleasant for the throng of merry gliders. Tho rink being an open one, it has kept the man- agers busy keeping the ice clear of suow. George McMillan of Morrisburg is the owner of the largest p g in the world. Only 18 months old, weighs 965 pounds, 11 feet 11 inches from tip to tip, girths 6 feet G inches, stands 9 hands high. He eats well, but is still poor in flesh. His footprints in the sands are like those of a cow, It has been snowing steadily for the past two weeks, and we have more of the "beautiful" already this sensor, than for many years. It has spread its mantle smoothly over mother earth to a great depth, and if fierce gales do not follow,we may expect to have good sleighing and, a busy season as soon as the weather settles. The Toronto Sun, morning, evening and weekly, an annexation advocate, is the latest addition to the list of newspapers in Toronto, It bears a favorable comparison with any of its cotems, but we cannot help expressiur< our rnisgiyings of its ulti- mate success if the sentiments enunciated in its platform, which are rather chimer- ical, is an index of its future course. The Poor House project in the County of Huron received little encouragement, but rather, the people pronounced empha- tically against it. The majority of votes polled against it will reach many thousands and while the townships went solid against it, there was also a big vote disfavoring it in the towns and villages. The County Council will likely take no action in the matter. After an illness of some ten months' duration, Mary Jane, wife of Mr. George Harton, passed peacefully away on Suu- day morning last. She suffered from gen- eral tuberculosis. and her death was un- expected. She leaves a young family, whom with her husband, have the sympa- thyof the community iu their bereavement. Her remains were interred in the Exeter cemetery on Tuesday. New Rural Oeane.

The new year doesn't bring a man strength. All of us will do leas evil this year than we did last—because it is one day shorter. The year is dead—long live the year. Let us resolve that we have done better; not that we will do better. The new year ages rapidly, What we were we are; what we are we shall be; what we shall be—is doubtful. The new year is a renliment. Laehyear people try to be better, be- cause each year they come neater the grave. Oyetera bave adyanood from 55 to 58 a pail.

The many agents of Tell TIMES through- out this section have the thanks of the publishers for the efforts put forth in 1n• creasing its circulation in their several localities, They have all clone well, and while but very few old subscribers have quit the paper, the new names have literally poured in, this week alone the ad. ditions being over 100, twenty of these from one agent. These are facts which can be verified by proof. It would be a commendable move for the council to invest a few dollars 'in ano- ther snow plow. With the heavy snow falls of the past few weeks, one plow is inadequate for the work ; and instead of taking nearly a day to clean the walks— (after a majority of the citizens have had to plod through the deep snow)—with another plow the work could be accom- plished by 10 o'clock, that is providing the operators commenced early enough in the morning. The good work done by the plow is not appreciated when it comes along after one has had to break the path. By all means get another plow ; the only extra cost wilt be a few dollars for the,im- element, the labor will cost no more, but Presents.
