Monday in the village with friends. -The report that Mrs. S. Link of Detroit is very low is an error. Mr. Link is unwell and likely there has been a confusion of names. --Mr Chris. Kibler has moved to his new premises. -The people in the vicinity are busy butchering hogs, and sauseges are plentifal.-On Feidav evening a goodly number of young folks visited the home of Mr. John Smith jr., and spent the evening in a royal good manner. They dispersed for theft omes in the small hours of the mornin 1 feeling that they had spent a pleasant tiine -On Friday last we were blessed with about a foot of snow which made good sleighing for Saturday and Sunday but the rain on Monday spoiled it and we now!have to use the wheels again. -A large number of Young people took advantage of the sleighiug on Sunday Mr. B. 13rown.has taken in another appren- tice to learn shomAking.-Now that the., end of the year is approaching we hear occassional whispers of the coming muni- cipal elections. °Mr. Chas. Either, second Deputy reeve has signified his intention of resigning and there 'is a speculation as to who shall fill the vacancy. -We understand Mr. Fred Nuerth our worthy flax miller intends to run for manicipal honors and we would be glad to see him come out. One suggestiou is that Mr. Sherritt will be nominated for second Deputy and Mr. Wuerth commilman and we weuld have no election. This is feasible plan, but we doubt if things will run so smoothly. We hear of no other candidates in the Acid, but likely after the next 'council looting there will be more aspirants cropPM up. -Now that we have au organized fire pro- tection Committee Why not advocate a fire engine for the village? Even a good sersond - hand enene Would he found serviceable enough and we believe the cost would not be so very Tench, and by a light taxation every year for a few years, could be paid for. With 1, ery little trouble we feel posi- tive that if a meeting were called. and a voice of the people hed onahe matter the under. saapicious cucumstances but the result woule be satisfactory. Other places' matter was not investigated. ihe WiaOW are prepared for aneAthergencv,in case Of afterwards removed to Clinton, where she Bha fire; but we have•nOtbing, and fire in the resided until a short time since, when heart of the village would, mean certain destruction to the greater part of the ham - nests places. There is nothiug being prepared and we think it gross negligence to leave the,matter rest as it is, and weuld' like to see some one wile is interested in the matter, push it. The fact that we have had very few fires in the village should be on impediment to the plan. -Messrs.. Wein have secured a fox skin which is half black and half red.
