ell met at Goderich, on Wednesday af-
ternoon last, and will close the last ses-
sion of the year to -morrow morning. A
report of the proceedings will appear
next week.
By -Law DEFEATED. — The by-law
granting a bonus to the London, Huron
and Bruce Railway by the township of
Biddulph, was voted upon by ithe rate-
payers of that townshipon Monday last,
and defeated. The amount asked was
$8,000.
BiTSINESS.—With good sleighina and
good roads, brisk tunes have set in.
During the past week our. principal
streets daily presented the appearance of
a fainda.y. An immense amount of
produce of all kinds is being brought in,
a.nd stores and other business places are
thronged from morning till.night.
TMNIPERANCE SERXON. — Rev. Mr.
Palmer, Pastor of the Seaforth Method-
ist Episcopal Church, delivered a sermon,
in big c,hurch, on Sunday evening last,
on the evils of intemperance. The dis-
course was mainly designed for the
young, and was able, interesting and in—
structive.

TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. —The COunty
of Huron Teachers' Association will
hold their next meeting at Seaforth, on
Friday and Saturday, 13th and 14th De-
cember. A number of subjects of inter-
est to the profession will come up for
discussion.
THE EGDIONDVILLE GROCERY. — Mr. .
WilliainThomson, of Egmond ville, wishes
us to inform his customers that he has
just received a nice fresh stock of grocer-
ies and fruits. Special inducements will,
be offered by Mr. Thomson to parties
desiring to purchase holiday supplies.
His advertisement giving full particulars

FENNY READINGS POSTPONED. —The
Penny 'Readings," under the auspices
of St Thomas' Church Ladies' Aid So-
ciety of this village, annonnaect to take
place on Thuisday night last, were post-
poned on account of the serious illness of
n relative of one of the ladies who was
expected. to take an active part in the
entertainment. Due notice will be given
of the next entertainment.
A NEW DEPUTY JUDGE. —We notice
it reported by some of our contemporaries
that Mr. Isaac F. Toms, of Goderich, has
been appointed Assistant Judge for this
County. Why Mr. Davidson has been
displaced by Mr. Toms we have not yet
learned. There is one thing cettain,
however, if the report as above given be
correct, the change is not a coMmeridable
one, aa every person will at mice admit
that Mr. Da`Vidson is in every respect
better qualified to fill this,. responsible
position. than his successor.
a •
TFAiPERA-NCE MOVEMENT. ---We under-
stand that the Good Templars and Sons
of Temperance of this village are now en-
gaged in obtaining signatures to a peti-
tion praying the Legislature of Ontario
to pass a Prohibitory Liquor law. The
suppression of intemperance, which is
the object in view, is certainty greatly
to be desired, and the petition will, no
doubt find numerous signers. We would
suggest to our temperance friends, how-
ever, the propriety of endeavoring to
enforce the liquor law at present on the
statute bciok before they seek raore legis-
lation. There is now a law in existence
requiring hotel and saloon , keepers to re-
frain from keeping their bars open and
selling liquor from a certain hour on Sat-
urday night until Monday morning.
Notwithstanding this, the law is scarcely
ever enforced, and might almost as well
not be in existence, When due respect
to this very lenient law cannot be en-
forced, we scarcely think that a sweep
-ing prohibitory law would be paid Dwell
attention to.

fortune to miss changing it again the :

to have a livery cutter badly smashed up
when sending the mail bag after the
stage; also hid the misfortune of tieing
late for the eastern mails at Seaforth.---

PRESENTATION TO A LATE RESIDENT.
—It may be of interest • to many of our
readers, and especially tothose who were
acqiiainted wit.' Rev. Mr. Piston and
family, New Connection Minister, late of
Ainleyville, to learn' that a handsome
presentation has been made to Miss E.
Preston, by the congregation of St.
.Paul's Chureh of England, Caledonia.
The presentation, which consisted of a
brief address and a purse of $62, took
place at the close of the thanksgiving
service, held in that church on -Thurs-
day evening, Nov. 14, as a slight
acknowledgement of her valuable services
as organist of that church.
INCORPORATION.— TO the Editor of the
.11117•012. .N.0:1)08itOr : Our village but a few
,weeks ago, has had the preliminaries of
incorporation thrust upon it, in •R, quiet
way. by one or two of its resident mag-
nates, and now they have the presdrup-
tion to change its name from Ainleytille
to Brussels without consulting the opin-
ion or wishes of a majority of the rate-
payers. They have effected their Pur-
pose in both instances by what they
choose to call "Public Meetings," but
what sensible men would designate
"hole- and corner ones." Two or three
of these potentates arrange themselves
around the heating apparatus of the store
or bar -room (as the case may be) and
with any amount of irrepressible speech'
making, especially from one side of the
heat generator, the scheme is concocted,
a boy is sent around the neighboring
dram shops to drum up the pliant fol-
lowers, a. docile quorum is formed, and
their edicts issue forth- as immutable as
those of the Medea and Persians, i. e., in
their own estim Ilion.They do not call
to their aid, notices, pesters, advertise-
ments, nor -even grant an hour's notice in
announcing a public meeting, well
knowing that these adjurants, so usual
in such a case, would send the "bottom
out" of their 3cheme before they had
their wishes consummated. Such steal-
thy, arbitrary, under -banded proceed-
ings are most reprehensible, especially in
"representative men," and we wouldtret
mind these would-be autocrats that
there are respectable ratepayets, who do
not spend their evenings around the bar-
rooms and stores, and. whose taste and
judgment perhaps may. not quitee gnat(?)
that of their more arrogant fel-
low citizens, but who ought at least
to have the privilege ofvoting yea
or nay to such acts as concern
the whole community. Judging (from
the antecedent acts of our aspirants tO
office, (unless th:y_are snubbed as they
deserve to be,) a municipal autocracy is
in store for the people of Ainleyville.

Clinton,
Dnan ExtosTrone— A s the end of the
year is drawing near the question of who
are to form our next Council attracts a
good deal of attention. It is to be hop,
ed that Mr. Far an will consent to stand
again as Reeve, as it would be difficult
to find a titter man, all things cousider-
ed. . A certain M. D., evho has but re-
cently up his residence' among us, is, I
hear, an aspirant for the Reeveehip, but
the system- of elacting untried men to
responsible positims in the municipality
is a most unsafe cue, and judging from
the extravagance of the School Board,. of
which tbe said M D. is a member, the
people should a,seertann to what extent
he is responsible therefor, before placing
him in a positionef greater trust. •
—Horse snow plows are being intro:
clicedhere for the purpose of removing
the snow from the sidewalks.
—The young but prosperous firm of
Brown & Cavan, grocers, of Clinton, have
taken in a newpartner, • (for particulars
see list of Marriages in last week's New
Era.) • -
—Saturday week was the first market
day, under the new regulationsand from
the amounts of produce consisting of but-
ter, eggs, poultry, etc., brotight in and.
which found ready sale, it must be look-
ed upon as a success. -
—Joseph Whitehead, ex -M. P., is de-
tained here by a sudden illness, but his
friends hope to see him round soon again.
—Our hotel keepers have properly de-
termined to keep the law by closing up
their bars Saturday evenings and Sun-
days. There are other places that should-
" go and. do likewise."
--The Thompson farm, on the Londes-
boro road, was sold by auction in Clin-
ton, on Wednesday, 4th inst., to Mr.
Thomas Corbett for $2,910. This is
considered cheap, but the purchase
money has all to be paid within one year.

LEAVING THE TOWNSHIP. —Mr. E.
Nicol, of Tackersmith, having rented his
farm to Mr. James Shaw, of Kippen, has
removed to W,ingham, where he intends
embarking in the grocery andprovision
business. Mr. Nicol was a good neigh-
bor'and an upright man, and. we regret
his leaving Tackersmith, and congratu-
late the people of Wingham upon receita
ing -so valuable an accession to their
business population. '
FOR Nolan- CaRotant.—We learn
that Mr. N. Cousins, who has filled the
position of Councilor in this township
formally years, intends shortly taking a
trip to North Carolina., in company With
his brother, where, we believe, he intends
purchasing land, if suited with the coin -
try. We trust Mr. Cousins may not be
so favorably impressed with that country
as to induce him to leave U.'nckersinith,
as we don't like to lose so useful and
valued 'a citizen as he has been.
THE RAILWAY BONUS. —At the last
meeting of the Tuckersmith Council,
held at Mrs. Robinson's Hotel, Egmont'.
ville, Tuesday last, a petition was pre-
sented to the Council asking them tu sub-
mit a by-law to the ratepayers granting
to the London. Huron and Bruce Rail-
way a bonus of $15,000. Mr. Flock,
the solicitor of the Company, and Mr.
Smith, one of the Directors, with others,
were in attendance at the meeting for
the purpose of endeavoring to induce the
Council to submit a by-law. A numer-
ously signed counter petition was also
presented to the Council, praying them
not to submit a by-law. After consider-
able discussion, the following resolution
was unanimously carried: That the
submitting of a by-law, granting a bonus
tothe Londoe, Huron and Bruce Railway,
be laid' over for the consideration of the
Council to be elected for 1873." .
PRESENTATION.—WC copy the follow-
ing from the Kirkcudbrightshire Adver-
tiser,published. in Castle Douglas, Scot-
land. The gentleman referred to in the
paragraph as a nephew of Mrs. 'John
Murray, of Tuckersmith : " Mr. William
Shaw, beingtabout to leave Dumfries for
Boston, United States of America, a few
of his friends entertained him to supper,
and presented him with a handsonte
writing desk, as a slight token of their
esteem for him, and of their good...wishes
for his future welfare. The- writing
desk bore a suitable inscription. Mr.
Shaw leaves a large circle of friends and
well-wishers behind him."

THE PERILS OR HARD CIDER.— A lud-
icrous affair is reported to have occurred
in the neighborhood of Devon, township
of Stephen.. A farmer had advertised a
sale of .farni stock, &c., and on the day
appointed a large number of people .
gathered to secure the bargains. The
seller. in order, no doubt, to promote thee'
good feeling of bidders, had provided a
supply of cider, which was served out
gratuitously in unlimited quantities. Of
course, nice fresh cider could not hurt
any one, and so everybody partook,
more pr less, freely. The itault was sur-
prising. Never before were such desir-
able things offered by auction, ridding
WAS extravagantly lively, and men whose
penuriousness Was proverbial seemed
bound to have "that there keow " re-
gardless of expense. And there were
other results also. Some of the bidders
did not get home till next day, and one
good old man, a minister of the Gospel,
is said to have become so " perplexed "
that he fell from his horse on the way.
The cause of all this was that the cider
had a "tick in it," and so, respectable
men, never luiow-n to imbibe, Unsuspect-
ingly became ingloriously intoxicated.
