THE BIBLE &claw. --s- The annual
meeting of the Seaforth Branch of the
British and. Foreign Bible Society was
held last Friday evening in the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church. After devotion-
al exercises, the President very briefly
introduced the business of the meeting.
The Secretary read a succinct statement
of the doings of this auxiliary for the
past year, showing a commendable in-
crease in the contributions. Addreases
were given by Revs. Messrs. Goldsmith,
Mills, Cuttler and Lavell. Rev. Mr.
Benson, agent of the Society, spoke with
interest and profit on the 'operations of
of the society. The following are the of-
ficers and Committee for the ensuing year,
viz-: Rev. Charles Lavell, M. A., ?res-
ident ; R. Lumsden, Secretary and
Treasurer; Committee: The ministers
of the town, John Beattie, Dr. Vercoe,
D. fD. Wilson, Wm. Hill, L. Mabee, S.
Trott, V. HolmeSted, Hugh Robb, John
Dickson, and. Alexander Wilson. A col-
lection was taken •ap and the proceedings
closed with tie Doxology and the Bene-
diction. The collectors will attend to
their work by the beginning of March,
and. we bespeak for them a generous
response.

J
Too Leeas.—An advertisement from
Messrs. Strong & FairIey, Seaforth, an-
nouncing fresh arrivals of Sugar, Tea,
Herring, White Fish, Trout, Oyeters,
&c., came to heed too Iete for this iesue.
,Musieee.—" God C-ktard Canada" is
the name of a new National Anthem,
published by J. F. Davis, of Toronto, the
-wards are by Henry T. McPhilips, late
of Seaforth, and the nmeie by Marquis
Chisholm. It bids fair to be very pop-
ular.
PROPERTY CHANGES. —Mrs. Beyno-n
has sold her house and lot opposite the
Catholic Church, to Mr. Edward.
Downey,sof Iriehtown. The lot contains
a commodious frame house, large - stable
and other cony iences, and was sold for
PM cash..
COUNTY COUNCIL. —The County- Coun-
cil of the County of Huron will assent:.
ble at Goclerich on Wednesday next.
There is not much business on band to
engage the attention of the Council at
. this ffession. and, although it will, of
coarse, terminate only with the week,
the proceedings will be mainly routine.
PERSONAL.—We regret to learn that
Rev. Father Ansbro, who has been on
the, Irishtown Mission for the lest four
years, has' been removed, ancl has gone
to London to await further orders from
Hie Lordship, Bishop Walsh. The Rev-
erend gentleman will be succeeded by
Rev. Father Murphy, a young priest of
Kingston, who was ordained on Sunday,
Nov. 15, at London. Father Ansbro
leaves behind_ a host of warrct friends in
Seaforth and vicinity, who will regret to
learn of his sudden removal from among
them. He was a zealous and faithful
worker in the cause of religion, and few
pastors are held in higher esteem by
their people than he was by those to
whom he ministered here.
•
LECTURE.- —We notice with pleasure
that Mr. J. W. Bengough, the talente-cl
cartoonist of Grip, will give his popular
and interesting lecture, Pleasantries
of Public Life," in the .Town Hall, See-
; forth, on Tuesday evening next. As a
cartooniet Mr. _Bengough is only equal-
led. by Nast, the celebrated New York
cartoonist, and we are informed that his
lecture is equally as amusing and instruc-
tive -as his cartoons. We hope the Epople
of Seaforth will shOw their appreciation
of Canadian talent by giving Mr. Ben-
gough a full house.
A NEW MERCANTILE rIRM IN CLINTON.
--We understand that Messrs. Geo. W.
Wright and W. Foster, formerly of Sea -
forth, intend opening a new Dry Goods,
Beady -made Clothing and Grocery Store
in ClMten, in the store recently occu-
pied by Mr. Zealand, opposite the mar-
ket. Messrs. Wright and Foster are
young men of fieet class business abili-
ties, aucl being pushing energetic men,
who thoroughly understand the require-
ments of the trade, they ,can scarcely
fail to build up a large business in Cline
ton. We are much mistaken if this nen=
firm does not Make a sensation among
the „rather slow -going find old fogyish
business• men of our neighboring town.
THE DEBENTURES WANTED.—A short,
time ago the Directors .of the London
Huron mid. Bruce Railway made a de-
mand upon the several municipalities
which had - granted_ bonuses to the rail-
way, to deliver up the debentures in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
charter. The townships of East Wa-
wa.nosh, Stanley and Goderich- refused
to comply with this demand. The
-
Company have, therefore, taken legal
proceeditsgs to compel thena to do so.
In the legal columns of the Toronto pa-
pers, we noticed the followMg a day or
two ago : "Re Londe'', Huron and
"Bruce_ Railway , Company and East
" Wawanosh. Mr: Harrison, Q. 0.,, in
"the Court of Queen's Bench, has moved
" for a rule nisi to . compel delivery of
bonus debentures. The rule was
‘` granted. Similar applications were
" made against Stanley and Goderich,
" and rule niq granted."
- BAND No. 2.—We noticed a es -eek or
two ago that a second band was in course
of formation in Seaforth. We now learn
that this band is thoroughly organized,
ancl that the instruments have been pur-
chased for the band by Mr. 0.C. Will
Musical instrument dealer. The
following is a list of the names of those

[moat THE SIGNAL.]
SCARCITY OF WATER. — There are
numerous complaints from the neighbor-
ing country, as to the scarcity of velater.
The abeence of the usual wet fall weath-
er has dried up the small creeks and
wells, and farmers are experiencing much
trouble.
ACCIDENT. — On Thursday, as John
Stewart, who was working on Ogilvie's
small mill, was carrying a stone in his
arms along a platform, he accidentaly fell
back over the edge. He fell only about
five feet, but the heavy stone fell on his
term hinting it Severely. -
NARROW ESCAPE. —One clay last Week -
Mr. Jas. Thomson, Town Clerk, was de-
scending from the genet in his ho -use, '
through a man hole, by means of a lad-
der. As be placed his foot on the top of
the ladder it slipped and fell, and he fell
with it. Inatinctively he clutched the
sides of themanhole m his deseent, thus
breaking his fall, which might have re-
sulted seriously. Further than sorely.
'straining bis muscles, no injury resulted
froni the accident.
Petriere el-EA.R. SALTED.—While oae of
the workmen in the International Salt
block was loosening the,salt in one of the
bias, while the process of barreling was
going on, loosened a large mass which
fell suddenly. He jumped in 'order to
eeeape being caught by the falling body,
but was caught and received a violent
fall. Hadhe net jumped asquickly as
:he did, the consequence -would have been
serious. As it was he escaped with a
few painful hraises.
Nem- JPATENT.— Mr. -Jas. Tomlinson
Ihas sneered a patent for an invention
that is going to snake a revolution in the
coopering business. The article is a bar-
rel made from an entire piece of wood,
with exception' of the ends. The barrel
is perfectly straight. ‘without the usual
bulge, and consists of an inner and outer
shell, cut after the manner of rims of
cheese boxes. The shells are laid so that
the grain of the timber runs at right
• angles; the inside one being a little short-
er than the outside one, the end pieces
i resting upon it and fastened by a small
1 strip nailed round the edge. By this ar-
f rangement of "crossing the grain" all the
defects in the wood are overcome and the
- strength of the barrel greatly increased.
' The shells are turned from soft elm,
t steamed for the purpose; and a strip is
leut'off in one long sheet the length of the
barrel. Por ordinary barrels the double
shell is used, but for oil barrels, a sheet 1
of zinc is inserted between the shells.
There are four hoops on the barrel, of
Mr. Tomlinson's well known ribbon pat-
tern, the two middle ones being mad.e
thicker than the other two which makes
it easy to turn a heavily Tflhled barrel
round ; but it is quite strong enough for.
ordinary purposes without hoops, the
ends of the strips which form the barrel
being securely fastened. One great ad-
vantage over the old barrel is that the
ends consist, of an entire piece, which are
stamped out the proper size and thick-
ness. The barrel is extremely strong,
and will stand until the wood becomes
rotten. The cost- of making is much
less than the old barrel, taking less time
in the 'manufacture ; the wood can be
prepared in a (ample of days, and there is
no waste of timber. A large number of
manufacturers have seen the patent, and.
all have at once 'ad.optecl it as the best
and cheapest.

- A -muster'', —Dr. Kay, of Belmore,
while returning from Forindisa lately,
where he had been to leave his on at
the German school, met with a erious
accident which might have proved fatal.
There being some planks broken iii the
bridge that crosses Mud River, his horse
got frightened and could not cross.The
Doctor rose up in the buggy for. the pur-
pose of leading the animal over, when
it sprang suddenly forward, throwing
him out over the back part of the buggy,
giving him a severe cut on the side of
the head, and. dragging him a consider-
able distance. John Lane, who saw the
affair, ran immediately to the Doctor's
assistance, and found him insensible and
bleeding profusely from his wounds.
Medical aid being called in it was found
that the facial arthry had been cut.

STEER STRANGLED. --On Wednesday
morning, the 18th inst., a splendid three-
year-old steer, belonging to Mr. Wm.

NEARLY AN ACCIDENT.—While Mr.
William Cameron, of the Fourteenth
Concession of McKillop, was proceeding
homeward along that line on Monday
last in a wagon, accompanied by his
wife and child, his horses being spirited
took fright at some object on the road
and became unmanageable. They at
once started off, keeping the centre of
tire road for a short distance, but at
length,taking to the side,one of the hind
wheels came in contact with a stump,
completely overturning the vehicle and
throwing its occupants out on some logs.
Forbunately the wagon at the same mo-
ment became wedged between two
stumps, thus bringing the horses to a
stand still. Had. this not been the case
the consequence might have been seri.
ous ; as it was all escaped without in-
jury excepting Mr. Cameron, who re-
ceived some bruises from the, violence
with which lJe was thrown against the
logs.

JOHN O'SULLIVAN, CLERK.
EXCITING INCIDENT. —The serenity of
this usually quiet neighborhood was
somewhat disturbed a week ego last
Sunday night by a sound of lusty scream-
ing, and hallooing, which seemed to pro-
ceed from a small strip of swamp that
lines the Fourteenth Concession, about
three miles east of the gravel roael.
Judging from the sound it appeared to
be produced by a human being in great •
distress, asliffhe were about to become
a prey to some prowling denizen of the
forest. Acting on this conclusion, a
young man who was working for the
proprietor of a neiehboring farm repaired
thither, .exe 1 hand, with all possible
haste, bent on relieving the sufferer.
When he arrived at the scene of action
he cliscovei'ed, perched on the fence in
abject terror, a young man, who had long
since left his teens t in the distance, and
who related to him more by frantic ges-
• ticulations than the accents of his mother
tongue, that he had been driven to bay
by a monstrous representative of the
bear species, and that it had taken. its
position as sentry on the opposite side of
the road, where -4e could hear its menac-
ing growls and see its firy eye -balls
flashing in the darkness, and, indeed, his
blanched face and quivering form seemed
to confirm the statement. But instead
of being relieved from his peril6ns posi-
tion he transmitted the maniri to his
would-be preserver, whose pluck deserted
—him to such an extent that lie could.
neither advance nor retreat, but took up
a -similar position with his companion
and joined rn the discordant choeus. In
the meantime No. Two's employer, hear-
ing the cries for assistance, had procured
,a butcher knife ancl sallied out Into- the
darkness, intent on making something
scarce, but being of a timorous nature,
and. not having his life insured he
thought it more prudent to arouse some
of his neighbors to accompany him.
This he succeeded in doing, and in a
short space of time a considerable force,
ginned with axes, old muskets and sun-
dry other weapons had assembled under
the leadership of the man with the
knife," firmly resolved on making it hot
for the bear; but these disciples of Nim-
rod were doomed to disappointment, for
when they arrived nothing met their ex-
pectant gaze except two frightened look-
ing objects, roosting on the -fence and
beating the rails with clubs in a ludic-
rous manner to prevent Bruin's ap-
proach. Their suspense, however, was
of short duration, the mystery being ex-
plained by a brute of the canine persua-
sion starting a two-year-old steer from
the edge of the woods, which scampered
off "head and tail up," apparently
amused and gratified at the part it had
performed, and much to the relief of the
occupants of the fence, who now dis-
mounted in a crestfallen mood, mutter-
ing as they did so, that "it was too thin
to be sold by a calf." It is the earnest
desire of the people of this neighborhood
that when hero No. 1 of this incident
• again goes on a nightly perambulation
he will make sure there is game in the
wind" before arousing them fram their
peaceful sluinber by such hideous cater-
wauling at the hours of ten or eleven
o'clock at night, especially on the. Sab-
,
bath.—Com.

that an effort is about being made to
have a Township School Board establish-
ed for the Township of Tuckersmith.
We believe this to be a movement in the
right direction. We are sure that, could
the people be got to view the matter in
the broad light of doing the greatest
possible good to the, greatest possible
number, the Township Board system
would be adopted by municipalities gen-
erally. But especially in a township
situated as Tuckersrnith is, with regard -
to her schools, the system would be im-
mensely:more beneficial and justtlian that
now in vogue. We would advise the
holding of meetings throughout the
township that the subject
might be thoroughly ventilated and
the advantages of the systeni explained
to the people.
Dangerous Stairway_
To the Editor of the .1 litro7y Expositor,
SIR : Permit me, through the columns
of THE EXPOSITOR, to draw the atten-
tion of the Town Connell to the ,danger-
ous and unsafe condition of the Stairway
leading to the Town Hall, On the re-
cent visit of the Guy Family; on Friday
night of last week, several ladies came
near breaking. their necks, by slipping
down on the steps, and, had not some
gentlemen who were close by caught,
bold of thein, they would, undoubtedly,
have come to serious harm, as the steps
were full of hard snow. and as round on
the top as a ball. And, to make matters
worse, the railing on the side was not fit
to get hold of, as there were large nails
_ .
stickme up in the wood, and. if you were
not careful you would get your hands
torn. There were also broken boards
knocked out of the side, and, if you did
not look out, you would slip through, -
and go to the ground, and by the time
you got there you. would wish that you
had never gone to the show. While
writing on this subject, a suggestion has
occurred to me which I think, if acted
upon, would tend. to the :Comfort and
convenience of persons attending enter-
tainments in the hall, and ,would be a
greater indueernent for , respectable
troupes to come to the town. What I
mean is, to have the stairs leading to
the hall covered over the top, and. a door
at the bottom with a lamp, so that per-
sons, when they come out, will not be
nnder the necessity of fumbling around
in the dark for the stairs, and, ten
chances to one, if they don't keep their
eyes open they will go tumbling clown
to the bottom. It will also have a ten-
dency toekeep away roughs and others
who -steed -at the door and make it their
special business to raise a hideous noise,
because theycannot get in free. This
sort of conduct is now carried to such
an extent that, if it be not stopped, re-
spectable troupes will not visit the town,
and the consequence will be that the
revenue which comes from the renting
of the hall will be greatly diminishect,
besides giving the town anything but -a
respectable name. If the authorities
wish to keep the good name of our town
np, the sooner they put a •stop to this
rowdyisni the better. Hoping that the
Council will take the matter up and see
to having the necessary repairs made to
the stairway, I remain, yours, &c., -

AUCTION' SALE. --The second auction
sale came Off last Saturday night at Mr.
Timmons' store. Thomas Farrow, M. P.,
acted as auctioneer and sold a large quan-
tity of goods during the short -time the
sale was kept open and a great many pur-
chasers went home rejoicing over the
cheap bargains they had secured.. The
sales amounted to over $100 besides the
private sales that were made.
Usborne.
FARM SOLD.—Captain Samuel Gibson
has sold his farm on the Thames Road,
Usborne, to a gentleman named Sum -
niers, from near St. Marys. The farm
contains 100 acres, and is allowed to be
one of the' best and handsomest in the
township, and was sold. for $7,600. We
believe Uaptain Gibson intends retiring
from business, ancl we wish he may live
long to enjoy the fruits of a life of honest
industry.
