of the adjoining townships.
Vote for Mr. Jas. Swenerton, and secure
better inforcement of the Scott Act. Mr.
Bishop, has lent no helping hand to accom-
plish the desired end.
Mr. Bishop is one of Mr. Nowat's follow-
ers, who sympathised with the French, over
the hanging of the traitor Riel. All lovers
of Canadian laws of justice should remem-
ber this.
A meting of tile ratepayers will be called

A communication from Mr. Chas. Senior,

ture Readings, is of interest to every rate-
payer.
Mr. A. Bishop, the Reform candidate for
South Huron, for the Local Legislature
was in town Tuesday testing the feelings,
of his constituents. Mr. Bishop, as a man,
is well enough, but as a representative of a'
people, who believe that Riel was justly
hanged, he is unfit.
Business during the past few days has
been very brisk, wood, grain, hay, pork,
etc., being marketed in large quantities,
and sold, in the majority of cases, with
but little delay. Good wood brings 83.00
per cord, while hay is selling at from $9
to $10 per ton.
A. Mr. Faulkner, of St. Marys, was in
town last week, and read to us a letter lie
had received from a friend in Dakota. The
writer complains of extremly bad tinges and
says, "there are more farms for sale out
here than you can shake a stick at." This
is Mr. Blake,s paradise
Only two weeks from next Tuesday until
the Ontario elections. When the time
comes every loyal Canadian, who has the
interests of the country at heart, should
cast bis vote in favor of a supporter of Mr.
Meredith. His platform is one which is
commendable to all.
If the young people of the village cannot
secure sufficient membership to organize,
a toboggan club, why not try snowshoeing.
There is not a deal of expense connected
with the latter, and the cost is within the
scope of all. Many of the young men pos-,
sess outfits. What do you say about this,
N. D. H. ?
Last week, I. J. Dearing met with an
accident, which laid hien up for several
days. He was wrestlrpng with another
party and not having a guod:hold, slipped
and fell, his opponent, who is a heavy per-
son, falling on top of him. A slight dislo-
cation was the result.

This year it fell on the earliest possible date
which it can occur.
The entertainment given in Drew's hall

grand success in every respect. At an early
hour the hall was well filled, and as far as
the programme was rendered at time of going
to press it was highlypleasing to all. Time
and space will not permit of an extended
report.
The. Bethany church and Sabbath school

It is a common expression of merehants
that "business is so chill it will not pay to

g last, goodly

'number were in attendance at the temper-
.ance lecture in Drew's Hall. The lecturer,
Rev. 1.r. Burgess, of Listowel, gave in a
plain and concisive maAner, the benefits of
temperance,its workings and the manner in
which the promoters must work to ensure
.success. Mr. Burgess, being a very fluent
speaker, it is a pleasure to listen to him.
•Grip's Comic Almanac.
We have received from the Grip Printing
arnd Publishing Co., of Toronto, a copy of
their celebrated Canadian Comic Alnatnac
.for 1887. It more than keeps up the repu-
tation of this Annual, which has now reach-
ed its eighth year,=the great variety of the
illustrations, and the first-class ,character of
the humorous matter, making it a decidedly
attractive hook. Everybody will want it ;
and its price will not be an obstacle.
Though eight pages of matter have been ad-
ded, it still sells at 10 cents, andmay be had
from the publishers or at the bookstores.
A Disagreeable Adventure.
One day last week, three citizens of Exe-
ter,went to Black Creek swamp for the pur-
pose of'getting out' wood. The weather
was stormy and: cold, and in order to make
their horse comfortable they tied . it in an
•old building. They walked a considerable
distance in the :wood, and commenced oper-
ations.. After working hard for some hours
they Prepared for home, but upon making
a start could find no trace of the footsteps
•or trail by which they got there, the snow
had filled them. They were in a dilemma ;
their horse was at the road -side, here were
they -possibly lost. Considerable deliber-
ating was indulged in,, after whteh, the
-three set out in different directions, in
search of a clearance, and before many hun-
dred yards had been trod two of the num-
ber came upon the road, and without fur-
ther consideration made a B-line for Exe-
ter -a distance of five miles, leaving horse
and its owner to fare as best they could.
The owner of the horse who went in a
northerly direction, discovered a clearance
in the vicinity of mill, known as Brook's.,
He was totally lost for a time, and was al-
most giving up in dispair. He discovered
a house,
and upon making enquiries learned
that, by going back through the swamp be
would have to travel but one mile and a
quarter ; but to go by road the distance
was about five miles, to where his horse
stand, He followed the road, and with
starlight in his eyes, found his horse, at 12
o'clock p. in. It is needless to say he was
happy, although under ordinary circum
stances he might feel chagrined.

i`bw that.the winter season is here would
it not be wise for the Mechanics' Institute
to take some step towards establishing a
pertnanent reading room, for, at least, the
winter months, Such a move should be
popular among the; philantlirophie elasses,
as it would serve to keep many young men
of the streets and out; of worse places dttr-
ing the long evenings, and give them an
opportunity rtunity testore their minds with use-

N;;r, Parsons,i' who resides at the 'ewer
end of the village, picked from .his pile of
reds the ether day, six znangolds which
weighed 110 pounds, He wade an .exhibit of
six at the Exeter fall fair, which downed
the scales at 180. We have published
items of heavyweight` anangohls, but we

Seven years ago when Mr. Thos, Hand-
ford ,Arab went to Manitoba, it took him 8
days to go from London, Out., to St. Vin-
cent, Mau,, while hest week he made the
same journey with 100 miles added, in three
days. The cost seven years ago, was $37,
while now the fare is reduced to something
less than $27 ; and still the C. P. R is
ruining the country incalculable. These
factsshould dispel from the mind of eyery
reasonable man such baso ideas.
