ADDUCES AND PitESENTATrON.—On her
departure ft'one amongst us Miss Rebecoa
McNair, who has been our worthy and
painstaking teacher for the pant few years
in U. S. S. No. 10, Howlett and Weilane,
was made the recipient of a handsome
set of China dishes, by the people of her
Section, on the 27th ult., at a large fare-
well party given bar et Jas. Edgar a. The
parting gift was accompanied by the fol-
lowing address, whioh was read by Mise
Annie Cooper :—
Tun Provinolal Legislature is expected
toprorogue in a few days, unlese some.
thingnow unforeeon turns up.
IT is mooted that the Proviuuial
eleotions will probably be held about the
close of February or 1st week of Marsh,

ARRA:MEMENTO ere being made to hold
the annual meeting of the Canadian Press
Association this year at Ottawa, in
Maroh. This would allow the Ontario
knights of the scissors and paste pot an
opportunity of hearing the eouoentrated
wisdom of the Dominion and also permit
them to gaze upon many a codger who
never would have bad a chance to warm
a Beat in the legislative halls had it not
been for the silver plating of the afore-
said newspaper men. If we can atrunge
to beat our way to the Capital on that
occasion we will certainly tell our renders
all about it.
WE observe by election returns from it
number of municipalities that there is a
very strong sectional feeling indicated by
the plumping that is done for cue or two
candidates, while the others, some of
whom must of necessity be eleated, are
entirely ignored. This is a mistake, as
a, broad view should be taken of these
things and the interests of the entire
municipality taken into the count. Not
infrequently has this line of procedure
acted as a boomrang and figuratively kill-
ed the fellow who loaded the gun—in
other words, the eleetora caught on and
kieked. The day of narrow views has
passed away anti the motto of all should
be "For the Public) Good."
CO. COUNCILLOR MOONEY• is mentioned as
a probable occupant of the Warden's
chair in Huron Co. Council for 1888.
He would make a competent man for
the position. We think it would be well
for this body to come to some amicable
arrangement whereby the Warden would
be °Rosen alternately from the political
parties represented in the Coanoil, not
for the sake of stirring up strife, but that
some definite rule might be laid down in
selecting the candidate. It is a fact
patent to all that whichever party were
in the majority always got the Warden.
ship, melees in a close vote, when some-
body "swung," but by the above mention-
ed arrangement no party would monopol-
ize the honors, and the probabilities are
that the Council will always be nearly
equally divided as at present. If a
Liberal were to have the chair this year
It would likely fall to the ;lot of,20o.
Councillor MoEwen, of Henaall, who has
been a well known member of the Coun-
oil for years.

provement, the proposed new Bowers and
walks, end the Livingstone flax mill, and
hoped every member of the Board would
punceuelly attend to his reapeotive duties
and jointly and severally work in further-
ing the interests of Brussels. The mem-
bers of bbe Board joined iu a discission
on some of the points raised. A trumpet

between the Captain of the Fire Brigade

Rabbits are spreading diphtheria
throughout the central part of Indiana
State. Suoh, at least, is the opinion of
physicians who have investigated the
cense of the outbreak. Some time ago it
was noticed that hundreds of the bunnies
were dying of a disease ,which doctors
pronounced almost identical with diph-
theriain the human family. Soon after
the epidemic commenced among the rub.
bits diphtheria began to be uotioed among
the families in the locality. The eon.
elusion was reached that the germs were
conveyed by the animals.
It is suggested that the number of rail-
way accidents might be diminished by
following the example of Germany, which
gives a gold medal and 5500 to every en•
gineer who performs ten years of service
without an aooident. Sow about section
bosses, traok inspectors, train:despatchers
and telegraph operators ? Conditions of
safety are largely in their hands, and
very few accidents result from the care-
lessneas or inoompetenoy of engineers,
If a system of rewards is to be adopted it
should cover the whole ground.
