the departinent formerly held by Mr.
Mooney. Both these gentlemen held thei:
best testihenna1s. as to their effi ei err cy as

that under the present management the
school will s stain the good reputation
which it has 4eservediy gained. •
CHRISTMAS MARKET. — During the
holidays the Market stalls pre§ented
appearance that might have made the
mouth of the most adcomplished epicure
water with pleasurable anticipation.
Mr. George Ewing had on exhibition
twelve beetes and about twenty -sheep
and lambs; the quality of eittich was
highly creditable to Huron pasturage and,
feeding. One of the beeves shown by
Mr. Ewing was a prize animal at the late
Christmas Fat Cattle Show, and was fed
by Mr. Payne of Tuckersrtith. Two fine
; lambs, raised by Mr. Carnochan, of
Tuckersmith, 'also atteacted lauch atten-

I Meeting was held in the Council Room on
Wednesday lest. The attendance -was
very small, there being only about a
dozen ratepayers and three Trustees pres-

tribute this meagre attendance to the lack
of interest taken by our people iii the
conduct of the: schools, onto the iesuffiC-
ient publicitylgiven of the meeting. Be
• the cause what it may, it is unfortunate
that so important an interest as that of
the edecationland training of our young,

matrimonial notices he this issue will be
found the announcement of the marriage
of a gentleman and lady whose life his-
tory- might . furnish one of our popular
fictioniste• with the foundation of a three -
volume hovel. Thirty years ago, more
or less, there lived in the old Bethurst
district, uowthe County of Lanark, a
yming man and a young woman who were
"keeping company together," and whom
the neighbors expected to get married.
From some cause ete other, the course of
true love in this instance, as, in many
others, did not run smooth. Another
young lady attracted the attention of
the fickle swain and enticed hini into
the bonds Of matrimony. Meeting his first
love shortly after the nuptial ceremouy
was perfonned, -it is supposed she up-
braided him with his inconstancy.
" Well, never mind," he replied, t if
ever I need °another wife I will take you."
Soon after their marriage, our hero, with
his wife, removed to what is now the
township- of Hibbert, but which then
viente, wilderness et forest, ,known at part
.of that indefinite region, th0 Huron
Tact. Our heroine, with her family,
alat emigrated and settled in Dorch'ester,
near London. With the energy and
industry characteristic of the Bath-
urst people, our hero and his wife
soon rattle ' a coinfoetable clearing in
their new Mine, and begat sons
and daughters.. In course of time,
. the wife died, and after some time, the
'husband married again, this time to a
young vhdow. Happening, after his
second marriage, again to meet our hero-
ine, his first love, he was reminded;
jettingly, of his promise; end again he
said, "If evet I want a wife again, rn
take you, mire." A year or two ago, the
second wife died, and our hero was a
second time a widower. At the :West-
ern Fair, in Icindon, last fall, he a,gain
accidentally met his first love, and, af-
ter the „preliminary salutations were
over, addressed her thus " _Now, Meg-
_gie, I am free again, and ready this time
to keep my promise; what do you say
aboetit ?" Her answer it is unnecessary
to repeat, but on Christmas day there
was aetvedding at her father's house in
Dorchester, and the two •long -divided
levers were made man and.wife.--Cote.

Console MEETING.—The Council elect
for the yillage of Seaforth, met on Tues-
day evening last. The principal busi- ,
nese transacted was the pessing of a :
number of acneunts, and arranging as to
the best mode of conducting the market °
for the preseat year. • 'Xlee Council met
again la.st nigt t for the purpose of pass-
ing the new ',Market 1:y -law. We be-
lieve it to be i he intention of the Council
to continue the located market, and: to
compel certain produce to be told on the
market. A- line mill be imposed upon
all who are found selling off the Mar-
ket. A person will also be. appoint-
ed wbose bu.siness it will be to see that
such produce is not sold on the streets.
\-Ve believe that this. perton will be paid
an annual salary and -that in addition to
the el uty above named, he will he requir-
ed to collect the weighing scale fees,
tend to the duties of Street Inspectoitate
tend to the Town Hall a,ncl. Council '
room, and probably ring •the• belt This :
is, undoubtedty, tlie proper course to '
' pursue. The salary of mei" an offi:Iial
will amount to very little more than is -
- now paid to various individuals for :
the performance of ;these Jut named '
duties. T *hole of these datiee com-
bined tvilln t overtax the energies of one
man. and. will be better performed i

SOCIAL AND PR ESEN TATION. —On Tues-
day evening a soiiial was held in the
basement of the Bible Christian Church.
About -300 persons were present. After
they partook of the eatables which were
excellent both in quantity and in quali-
ty, they removed to the Church proWer.
'Mr. Silas Balkwell was called to the
chair, and after a few appropriate re-
marks. and siugiim by the elute, he
called on Mr. Thomas Blatchford to read
a presentation address to tlessrs. Kell-
ner a,nd Qua,nee Bible Christian Minis-
ters. The address expressed thanks to
the geetleraen Menfioned for their -labors
during the past, or the prompt and will-
ing disenarge of the various . duties de-
volving upon them as ministers of Christ;
also the high esteexn in which they were
heel, and assured them of the deep sym-
pathy and co-operation of their various
congregations in the work of labor and
love in which. they, were engaged, all
concluded by expressurg a sincere Imite
that the same success that had markeLl
their past,course would still contiime to
distinguish their future career. The
above address was accompanied with a
very tangible proof qf tbe sincerity of its
sentiments in the form of two purses,
one containing $100, and presented to
Mr. H. Kenner, by Mr. James Pickard,
the other $50.00 which Mr. Quance re-
ceived at the heads of Mr. Jewry. The
two reverend gentlemen responded in a
most suitable way, sketching their his-

to some of the parties concerned on both
sides of the Contest. Though the only

it to the close of the poll. Below we

an -
was hold at the school house, in this vil-
lage, on the 8th bast. Mr. Thomat Ju-
nes was appointed trustee for the en -rent
year. It was unanimously resolved to
secure the services of an assistant teach-
er. The average attendauce beieg so
large that one teacher Was unable to do
them justice.
Another Change of Route, for
the Lonaon. Road Suggested.
To the ,Editor of the Huron Expositor.
, DEanhtneeeStanley has spoken at the
polls, and her .voice is decidedly against
, the Bonus to the London` Railway, ,as at
present proposed to be located. it Was a
fair sq uare fight, east against the West.
and the result is a majority for the West,
or no -bonus party. '0, Andersen, Esq.,
is elected by only a small niajtority, and
that could not have been obtained, only
at the urgent request of one or two of his
private friends who stuck to him et all
hazard. Stanley will never grant a
t bonus for the railway by Brumfield, but
that, if the grain- buyers stay in the
market, every load of grain will be taken
there as usual, and the farmers will feel .
just as satisfied as if they had fees to.

.A..Fariner's Talk About the lar-
ket Fees.
TO the Editor of the Enron Expositor.
Will you favor me with space in the
EXPoSiTbR, to make a few remarks on
market fee subject. In the first pi -meet
must remark that the ratepayers of See -
forth acted honorably and just in voting
• •
cnar-gnig marnet tees., They
have made the arst move in regard to
free trade. This is a free country, then
the farming part of the population re-
quires free trade with the neighboring
towns or villages, and the country at
large requires, free trade with the neigh-
boring States. We blame the Amen -
cans, and justly, too, efor not giving us
free trade, then, can 'we with justice;
blame them for not giving us what we do
1 not give one another ? Your -correspond-
ent, " Ratepayee No. 2, and a few oth-
! er ratepayers are not ia favoe of giving
, free trade to thetarmere ; they think the
fanners have not done enough fot them
I yet. • I would. say to them, that the
farmers gave them a good comfortable
, market house, with a year's market fees
• into the bargain, the finMers even paid
a yearly salary for collelting the money,
and now you have a good Town Hall, a
Lockup and Butcher's stalls, :which
bring you in a nice ydeoairialynsum..is:,:otsly,i,tholurt.

with
you Your
letter to the ratepayers of Seaforth had
no effect. It was not worth the ink shed ;
in writing it. It was like a chip in -por-
ridge, neither good nor harm. You

1 pedlars, as you call them, and you are
particularly fretful about the poorer class .
of Seaforth. You imagine they will meet

if there will, you have a perfeet right to

the market will be broken up if the fees
are taken off, you say the oki practice of

the farmers' loads eomeng in will be re- !
sorted to again. It. oW if you are a grain 1

have been untiring and unremitting in
your exertions, both in and out of school,
