of that Divine volume, -which is the char-
ter of our liberties here and our only

The reverend. gentleman made a very.
affecting reply to the address stating
that he had received more kinhness in

previous station, and concluded by ex-
preseeng the hope that they might all

morning the classesin the lower room
were etamined in their several branches
of instruction, while the afternoon was
• occupied with the room under the 8peeia1
-charge of Mr. Halls. The examination
was mainly condusited by strang-
-ers, some of whom. .had a practical ac-
quaintance with school teaching, and
therefore *ere a,ble more thoroughly to
test the efficiency of the various elasses.
The resultwas highly gratifying and
shoived that although during the past

adopted by Mr. Isaad Martin for the
new hotel which he has just completed.
A short description of this house may
not be out of place. The main building
is now -40 x50,. two stories high, 'with
an addition in the rear of 24 x 30, one
story ; high the _whole structure is of
wood. A piazza ruos the whole length
of the building on Turnberry street. The
inside arrangements are very complete,
consisting of a commorlions and well
furnished bar room, three public sitting
rows, two down stairs and one up etairs.
The dining and commercial monis are
both large and. conveniently situated,
and are also connected with folding
doors. The bed rooms in the main build-
ing• are fifteen in number, beino°well
lighted mid ventilated, The furni-
ture is all new and of the best qual-
ity, and the stables, driving house and
sheds are also new, and welliarranged.
"The Village of Ainleyville was incorporated a
few weeks ago. Now soine of its resident mag -
1 notes want its name changed to Brussels."
The Globe, from 'which the above is taken, is in
error. Ainleyville is not incorporated, nor has ale
lication yet been made to Parliament for an met of
incorporation. Steps are only being taken with- a
view to bringing the matter before the Legislature
as soon as the House meets. Mitchell Advocate.

Editor: Will you be so kind as to let
people -know that the proper way to pro-
nounce the new name of our village is

MUSICAL AND LITE it ARV ENTERTAIN-
mENT.e—The entertainment held here on
Wednesday evening, llth inst., under
the auspices of Wroxeter school, was a
complete success, both in point of attend-
ance and the excellence of the programme.
The house was crowded to its utmost ca-
pacity and many were unable to obtain
seats. Quite a number were present from
Harriston, Wingham, Bluevale, fAinley-
ville and other places. The chair was
taken at -about 8- p. nt. by Mr. Alex. L.
Gibson, who admirably performed his
duties. The Wroxeter Glee Club gave
some very fine pieces of music, instru-
mental and vocal ; anhong the latter we
may mention, "Lottie Lee", "Lora Vale",
"Ella Rhee"t "Annie o' the, Banks o'
Dee", ,"Mollie Darling" and "Beautiful
Days of the Past ;" they were loudly ap-
plauded. Miss Lawrie eang "Tyrol's
Lovely Dell" and "Under the Daisies"
and by the sweet and unaffected manner
in which she rendered them, drew an en-
thusiastic and hearty encore. Miss
Knuteson sang and played two songs,
and was as usual a favorite with the
audience, being louc1132 encored. Besides
the instrumental music giyen by the Glee
Club. Miss Knerteson and Messrs. Mc-
Donnell and Snider gave some very nice
pieces, which were well received. In
another Part of the programnie, hl r. J.
B. Vogt gave a German song with guitar
'accompaniment, the WOMS df which
though imintelligitOe to most of- the audi-
ence, were accomiimaied by music the
pathos and sweethess of NV111 C fl were ap-
preciated by all. Mr. Mumford, of Ai1a
Craig' who .was in the audience, was
calledon. for a song, and „ gave two or
three so irresistibly comic, that he fairly
"brought down the house." his imita-
tion of the modern "agonized" style of
singing was received with roars of laugh-
ter, that testified that the caricature,
tlibugh perhaps a little highly-coloredo
was true, not to nature,- but to the origi-
nal. His rendering of "Herne cam', our
Guidman" was also capital. We have to
thank Mr. Minieford for aetreat not often
enjoyed by the people of Wroxeter, and
for the good-natured way in which he
complied with the expressed. wishes of
the audience. Miss Ada Alexouder, of
Thirriston, sang."0,it in the Cold" in
first class style. In the literary part of
the entertainment, we may -mention
"The Annuity", a reading given by Mr.
James Young, of the Harriston Tribune,
whols an excellent reader,' and did the
pieces full justice. He was loudly ap-
plauded. Mr. _Charles T. Doyle gave
recitation in pod style, entitled "Roger
and I." Readings were also given by Mr.
Campbell of Ilarriston, Mr. Henderson,
of Wingham, and Messrs. D: Walker,
W. Lawrie and G. EyveI of Wioxeter.
A number of Dialogues, Recitations
&co were given by the pupil* but as we
have already drawn our report beyond
intended bounds, we cannot particulvize,
suffice it to say, that,_ this part Of the
entertainment was fully sustained. ' Al-
together the entertainment was one of
the most successful ever held in Wroxe-
-
ter.

WOOD AMALGAMATION. --A numerous-
ly attended meeting of the farmers of the

tin's Hotel, Goderich, on Friday of last

amalgamation to raise the price of cord-
wood. After considerable discussion the
price was fixed at $3 25 per cord. An
agreement was drown up and signed by a
number present, binding themselves un
-
dee a penalty of $50, not to sell IS at
a lower figure. Severalat the meeting.

day last, for a number of 'prizes give` la by
Wine Young,. Esq., Reeve of the town-
ship, and also a couple of special prizes
by II. I. Strang, head master of God-
erich High School. Every school in the
township was represented and the pupils
made a creditable display. This is a
step in the right direction, and one
winch should be followed in other town-
ships. Competitihe examinatious of this
sort must be productive of much benefilt.
A gra.nt from the township Councils. for
prizes would lie money profitably spent

The Brussels-cuelitscioorpueoration Dis-
..
To the Editor of 014 Ritrou ExpoOtor.
DEAR STR,—I observe in your last is-
sue that our worthy friend, Mr. John
Leckie, has. been treating you to one of
his long winded effasions. Surely the
garment moat have fitted well when' he
was so eager to assume it. Truth gener-
ally strikes home more forcioly than fie -
tion, and this forme no exception, judg-
ing by the multitudinous mid profligate
display of language brought to lear
against the supposed author, and. not on
the subject. I shall not bore yon with A
long gaseous article on what would now
become a very.profitless discussion, but
merely advert to one or two pohats 111
his letter mid then. drop the subject.
Your verbose correspoll d mit is anything
bet a close- reader, but his deficiency in
that is compensathi by a lively imagina-
tion, ability to draw far fetched infer-
ences and a proneness to jump at conclu-
sione. He has understood me to gay
that' the meetings were held in a store or
bar -room, on a more careful perusal he
will find it stated that the "scheme was
concocted there," but that is one of his.
long drawn inferences. Again, he ac-
cuses me of considering myself a para-
gon of perfection. I merely stated there
were respectable ratepayers in the village,
without' laying any claims of identifica-
tion with that class. Indeed, it -puzzles
me -to know where he finds the egotism,
excepting in his own production and lin-
agioation. Next he measures inc v'ith
his own yard Aide and coucludies Lam
manning the same pliaodem. 4.8
namely, notoriety; Men *Ito have ;al-
ready become notorious foi,tatteetising an
inordinate love of coiniodafy
should keep quiet As for the Main
point it is not my intention to retract
one iota from what I have already stated,
and Mr. 'Leckie's asserting they are
falsehoods does not by any means
prove they are so, in fact he partially
admits the truth of them by the 'eery ex-
cusable word 'impromptu." I would
here state that neither malice nor love_
of notoriety prompted the article ri
question, but a desire to correct the very
informal method in which such business
is sometimes conducted here. 'Before
closing, I would suggest to your corres-
pondent itt future to be lees economical
of &nth and mare economical of language
wiictn h� attempts to inake use of print-
ers' ink.
In order to escapethat notoriety of
which. Mr. Leckie claims 1 am desirous,
allow me to subscribe. . Vanroos.
Ainleyville, Dec. r, 1872
—Two sub -contractors on the section
of :the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Rail-
-way through the township of Howick

pounds was killed in the township of
Olden, County of Lanark, near the town

ped to Odgensburg, 0;5., by his captor,
there to be boiled down. Quite a num-
ber of these animals have been killed in
