To Tun EDITOR ADVOCATE.
SIR:—I hear one of the first acts of
our new council on Monday evening
was the cutting down the salary of our
Constable, Tax Collector, Road Com-
missioner and Health Inspector, all
combined in one man, Now I am no
friend of tbis man, nor is he to me any-
thing but a public official, who
has done his duty, according to a great
majority of ratepayers, in a satisfactory
manner. But how can he be expected
to do so for less than one dollar a day?
Why, even the men employed under
him to do street work get their $1 25 a
day, while this man, who is supposed
to over look, direct and watch them,
gets the magnificent sum of about 95
cents or less. Is this justice or fair play?
I will stand up for right every time
and say no, emphatically no! I am a
supporter of the present council, but
think if they find a man to do his duty
faithfully they should pay him accord
ingly, not dishearten him by taking
bread out of his month. I am perfectly
aware there are/ some villagers who
would cut down everything if it saved
a cent of their taxes, even if a detri-
ment to public welfare.

British Grain Trade, says that English
wheats have been dull and that foreign
whoats haye advanced 6d. California

has gone 6d higher- To -day English
whoats were held fur Gd. advance, For-
eign wheats were firm. American

Feeding barley was 3d dearer, corn 3d
dearer and beans, peas and oats slow.

Grand Bend
On Tuesday last three jolly sports
drove over from Parkhill to participate
in a quiet little rabbit hunt and after
scouring gthe woodsfor a
considerable
time succeeded in bagging three tine
cotton -tails On reaching the hotel
after the hunt, Deputy Game Warden
Gill appeared on the scene and demand
ed a look through the rig, Thinking
they had been killing game out of sea
son the hunters set up a terrible howl
and the air was rent with a volley of
terrible oaths intended to frighten the
warden from performing his duty but
he wasn't to he frightened and continu-
ed the search, Luckily, however, for
them he found only the three cotton
tails which are not classed as gate,-
They
ameThey were not aware of the fact that
cotton tails can be shot any time.
FOUND DEAD.—This week it becomes
our sad duty to chronicle the death of
one of Usborne's fair daughters, in the
person of Lilly Maud. second daughter
of Mr. Alex McDonald, who died on
Thursday last, at the early age of 15
years, i3 months and 23 days. Deceased
had been ill for some time but there
was every indication of her complete
recovery and she was making prepare
tions to attend the Anniversary Servic-
es and tea in the Thames Road Presby
terian church on the night of the 27th
' inst. On Wednesday night she went to
her bed as usual with her sister bn.
before morning she was stiff in death
and apparently had died without a
struggle with both hands elapsed , over
her breast. The` parents have the sym
pathy of the entire community in this
their sad affliction.
Dashwood.
The recent soft weather has almost
spoiled the sleighing here, though
a very little snow would make it al-
right again.—The revival meetings in
the Evangelical Church are being well
attended though the success has been
rather small up to the present.—Mr.
Thomas Snell has gone tie Toronto to
take a Normal Course. --The topic of
the day seems to be the proposed union
School in Dashwood. Some are par-
ticularly interested in the affair and
as it is a matter of dollars and cents to
them, we give them the right, though
we beleive the cry has been carried to
he extreme, One thing is certain the
nasty little slurs that have been passed
around will cut no figure, but only re•
fleet badly on the ones who give them.
We hope the clouds will soon roll away
and that peace and happiness may once
more reign supreme in our otherwise
quiet neighborhood.—The remains of
the late Mrs. Louis Kraft, Jr. of the
Goshen Line, were laid to rest ori Thurs-
day las: in the Bronson Line cemetery
about two miles north of the villgage.
Mr. Kraft has most sincere sympathy
extended to him from the entire com-
munity is this his severe hour of afflic-
tion.
Granton
Miss Douckett returned to her home
in Cleveland Tuesday accompanied
by Mrs. Foreman with whom she has
been visiting for some months.—Mr.
and Mrs William Gunning, highly es-
teemed pioneers of the south boundary,
Blanchard, celebrated their golden
wedding last Monday eyening by g•iv
tug a grand banquet.—Mr. John Lang
ford, of this place, was again the victim
of a most painful accident. While
operating the edging saw in Mr. A.
Langford's sawmill last Saturday he in
some unaccountable manner placed his
right hand on the saw, cutting it to the
bones crosswise on the palm, and com-
pletely severing the bone of the thumb
above the seccnd joint. This is the third
serious accident that has befallen Mr.
Langford in seven or eight months and
while extending tel him our sympathies,
I am sure it would not be misplaced if
some friend would take the initiative
n giving them a p ractical turn.
Greenway.
The Maccabee concert held last Fri-
day evening was a literary treat long
to be remembered. Mr. F. Porte, the
noted Irish comic recitor was the great-
est attraction and too much praise can-
not be given him. His selections were
highly pleasing. He can entertain old
anti young as well as any of the noted
stars from the large cities. Mr.' J, E.
Harrison reading, the Misses Hotta,
Juelie English, Carrie Wilson, J. Love
and Sisters, W. A Wilson, are all well
worthy of mention and would hold their
own before a city audience. Rev. S. A.
Carrier made a few interesting remarks
Mrs. W. Holt gave an interesting
address, showing the work the Lady
Maccabees were doing.—Miss Munroe,
of Bayfield, is visiting at Mr. Jas.
Brophey's.—Mr. A. Mellon, of Walla
Walla, Washington,visited friends here
last Saturday. -Mr C. M. Wilson and
wife, spent last Sabbath visiting friends
in Thedford.—Mrs. D. Ulens, returned
home last week, after spending a
month with friends in l'orouto.—Mr.
Valentine Ratz, the Liberal Candidate
for North biding of Middlesex; was
making friendly calls on the citizens
in this vicinity last week.—Mr. David
Trewell, Canada Co. agent, spent sev-
eral days in this vicinity last week
looking after the timber owned by the
company.— Mr. John Sherritt is attend-
ing County Council at Goderich this
week.—Mr. Miller and Will Patterson,
visited friends here last Saturday.
Crediton
GOOD CONCERT.—Without exagger•
ation we can safely say that the con-
cert held in the Town Hall, on Thurs-
day night last, under the auspices of
I. 0. F., was the best ever produced to
a Crediton audience, The nt'ogram
was carried out in full• and added to
by enchores which was enthusiastically
demanded by an appreciative audience.
The character potful mance by harry
Rich, of Toronto, and Will McLeod of
Seaforth, was i,ide d well received and
took the audience by storm, as did also
the ventriloquism by Henry Simpson,
although he was laboring under diffi-
culties, having taken a very sick spell
while on his way here. It was feared he
would be unable to perform at all but
he managed to fill in his parts, hut
with 4ousiderable trouble. Geo. Zwic
her assisted as accompanist and did his
work admirably. Dr. Rollins acted as
chairman in his usuat efficient manner
and made a capital opening address,
The affair was a grand success in every
particular and the committee deserve
the highest praise for the selection of
talent.

through the hole and falling down
struck him on the bridge of the nose,
making an ugly wound. Dr. Chisholm
was called and found it necessary to
insert seven stitches. The bridge of
the nose was punctured and it is prob•
able that he will be disfigured though
youth is in his favor and the wound
may heal so as only to leave a. slight
disfigurement. At latest reports he is
progressing as favorable as could be
expected.
Clinton: The alarm sounded a little
after seven o'clock Friday evening and

tire had started upstairs, evidently
from the stove pipe or chimney A
team from Davis' livery was soon at-
tached to the fire engine, but some of
time fastenings gave way and consider-
able delay occurred before the Claret]
don bus team, in charge of driver Wal-
ker. appeared and delivered the fire
fighter at the tank on Whitehead
street. By the time the engine was
throwing water the upstairs of the
building was badly gutted. and the
roof well burned. The principal por-.
tion of the downstairs furniture was
saved. The building and furniture
was insured for $400. The destroyed
property will cover the greater amount
of insurance.—News Record.

About a year ago Miss Sinclair had a
severe attack of la grippe, from which
she seems never to have fully recovered

master of the Seaforth C,llegiate In-
stitute, received the very gratifying

cupied by Mr. Hudson. Mr. Hudson

side.
Clinton : The Collegiate had a
narrow escape from what might have
been a serious fire last week. The
stove in the gymnasium is an upright,
and a stick had been placed in it, which
it is supposed, fell over and knocked
the door open, allowing aportion of the
burning stick to fall on the floor; it had
burned 'a good sized hole clean through
'the floor, but went out itself, as the in-
cident was not discovered until next
day, it can easily be seen how narrow
an escape the building had.—On Thurs-
day eight while the carnival was in
progress a large lamp was knocked
over and and set fire to the boards of
the gallery; althotl;gh it made' consider-
able blaze, it was quickly extirgetish
ed by Mr. Chant throwing his fur coat
The Latest News in Brief
John Dunham, a young married map
of Stoney Creek, Ont., came to an un
timely death Sunday night. About five
o'clock Sunday morning the . lamp,
which stood on at table beside his bed,
exploded, and the burning oil, poured
over the bed. Dunham sprang oat of
bed and rushed into the street with the
burning clothes. He was so severely
burned that he died the same evening.
Mr. Win. G. Hay, for 40 years one of
the most prominent and public spirited
of the citizens of Listowel, died on
Monday night at the General Hospital
in Guelph, where he underwent an
operation about three weeks ago, Mr.
Hay was in tis sixty-fifth year, and.
was largely identified with the building
up and the prosperity of the tpwn, in
ho was a large property ower. He
was head of the firm of Ha Bros,
grain merchants here. He was a se-
vere sufferer for years, and it was to
give relief that he risked the o aeration
which cost him hislife.
Thomas Newry, aged 25, a 41,teestrig
married farmer, residing on con. -4,
South Yarmouth, met with an accident,
on Saturday afrernoon that will prob- ' ' t.,
ably cost him his life. He was out
hunting with his brother Edward. The
latter was carrying a rifle, and in some
manner the trigger caught in his coat
and the gun was discharged, the con-
tents entering both legs of Thomas, a
little below the knee. The injured man
was at once removed to his home and
medical aid summoned. Blood poison-
ing has set in, however, and it is not
likely that he will recover.
In 1888.90 the township of Colchester
South constructed the Richmond drain.
Through carelessness on the part of
those who were working at the drain
the water was allowed to overflow, and
in consequence rhe lands and crops of
about 100 farmers were damaged to
the extent of $100 000. They sued the
township, the case being known as
Valaid vs Colchester South, and a writ
for damages was issued June 20, 1890.
Since that time it has been heard in
several courts, and the plaintiffs have
always had a verdict in their favor.
Now the Supreme Court has confirthed
the rulings of the courts below, and be-
sides having to pay the damages the
township will also have to pay about
$3,000, the reference which was held
Saturday placing the costs of the action
at this figure.
The family of George Sprague, re-
siding on Cherry street, Ingersoll, had
a narrow escape from being burned to
death the other morning. Mr. Sprague
was awakened shortly after 2 c'clock•
to find the house full of smoke and
himself, as well as his family, nearly
suffocated, Realizing that the house
was on fire, Mr. Sprague at once sprung
from his bed and seized two of the
children, who were sleeping near by,
while Mrs. Sprague grabbed the baby,
and together they beat their way out
of the house clad only in their night
apparel. The fire alarm was immed-
iately sounded, and the brigade were
soon on the scene, but their assistance
was of no avail, the whole structure
collapsing in a few minutes after their
arrival. All the contents were dee-
troyed, The house and contents were
insured for $250 but this will not
cover the latter.
