monhville Presbyterian Church, on Sib- i
bath- next, at the usual hour, --ill I
o'clock, A. M.
Sk.USAGES. —Mr. Frank Meyer . has
commenced the manufacture of sausages,
and a better article than he produces
could not be desired: We would recom-
mend lovers of sausages to give those
manufactured by Mr. Meyer a trial.
STATION IMPROVEMENTS .—On account
of the immense increase- of the freight
business at the Seaforth station, the
freight warehouse has become entirely
too small, and an enlarged building was
rendered anecessity. An addition of
100 feet is now being put to the present
building, and a number of workmen are
engaged in making the improvement,
erect it is hoped that it will be completed-
hefore the end ofthe Year.
MR. BENG ()UGH'S ENTERTA INMENT. ---
Mr. J. W. Bengough, cartoonist for Chip,
gave his entertainment. in the Hall on
Tuesday evening last. id, a very fair audi-
ence. The entertainment was, in every
respect, most satisfactory, the audience
being delighted with, the life -like appear-
ance of the cartoons, a.nd the ,readiness
with which they were executed. Mr.
Bengough is quite a yonng man, and with
his rare talents will yet make his mark
in the world.
A SKATING Rn..—We notice by our
exchanges that in almost every town. and
village of any note in the Provinee, there
is a skatingrink. How is it that for the
past two seasons Seaforth has been with-
out such a place of resort? The drill
shed, which is lying idle, can very easily
be converted into a first-class rink, and
it is surprising that some enterprising in-
dividual or company does not make use
of. it. It is too bad that a place of the
size and importance of Seaforth should.
he without a suitable place where this
healthful and invigorating recreation, for
both male and female, can be prac-
tised. We are sure that if ,ft, rink was
opened in Seaforth, and ' properly con-
ducted, that it would be liberally pat-
rertized. Who will make • the ex -peri.
meet ?
Hunose Ti ASSOCIATION. --The
regular semi-annual meeting of the As-
sociation will be held. in the Central

ORDINATION' SERVICES.—Rev. John B.
Scott, having acceptecl the call tendered
him by the congregation of the Egmond-
ville Presbyterian Church, the ordina-
tion and induction services will be held
in the Church on Wednesday, the 9th of
December, at 11 o'clock A. M. Rev.
Mr. Ross, :of .Brucefield, will. preside:
Ifev. Mr. Thonision, of McKillop, will
preach, Rev. Thomas Goldsmith, of Sea -
forth, will address the Minieter, and Rev.
Mr. Denby, of Varna, will address the
congregation, Rev. Mr. Scott comes
from Dundee, Scotland, ha,ving been. in
Canada only about 18 months. He is a
young man of considerable promise, and
with his induction we have every confi-
dence that the congregation of Egmond.
ville will enter upon a new era of useful-
ness and prospenty.
A CEMETERY FOR SEAFORTH, —We are
glad to learn that a company, composed
of gentlemenof Seaforth, have purchased
10 acres of land_ from Mr. T. E. Hays,
on the First Concession of McKillop, for
use as a cemetery. This land is situated.
immediately epposite the Maitland burial
ground, about one mile from Seaforth,
and is admirably adapted for the pur-
pose for which it has been purchased.
The proprietors intencl fitting the ground
in first-class style, and laying it out in a
manner which will be attractive a- nd. con-
venient. By this mevenient e want will
be supplied which Seaforth has long and
urgently felt, ,ancl the town is certainly
indebted to the enterprising gentlemen
who have thusundertaken- the scheme
of providing for Seaforth a first-class
cemetery.
A GOOD MOVEMENT. ---We understand
that the Huron Farmers' and IVIechanics'
Association, .o Kippen, have resolved to
hold an exhibition of implements at
Brucefield; on the first Thursday of
January. Competition will be asked for
in the following implements : Sawing
Machines, Grain Crushers, Straw Cut-
ters, and Sewing Machines. The work-
ing of the various machines exhibited
will be thoroughly tested on theground.
Three prizes will be offered for competi-
tion -in each class. We have no doubt
but manufacturers of the above , named
implements will be glad to avail them-
selvesof so good an opportunity of ex-
hibiting their working capabilities to the
public. Fuller particulars of the eau-
bition will be given by the Association
in due time.
SLEIGHING -.—On Saturday and Sun-
day last, we were visited by a very
severe snowestorra. The snow fell to a
sufftcient depth to make good sleighing.
On Wednesday, however, a thaw'set in,
aucl we are again enjoying sloppy roads
and bare ground. RaM is very much
wanted before the winter fairly closes in
as the ground is very dry and many in
the country are badly off for water for
their stock. During the few days of
sleighing business 'in town was 'quite
brisk, aud. our merchants commenced to
wear smiling countenances, but with the
appearance of the muddy roads the smile
has disappeared. However, jt this sea-
son of the year we cannot expect to be
long without sleighing, and the sooner it
comes the better.
•
PRF.SENTAION. —We understand that
a number of the young people connected
with the Wesleyan Methodist Church of
this town, surprised Mr. and Mrs.
George Dent at their residence on Wed-
nesday evening last, by palling and mak-
ing them the recipients of a couple of
very handsome presents, and also pre-
sented them with a most flattering ad-
dress. The presentations were made to
Mr. and Mrs. Dent onbehalf of the con-
gregation, as a slight rE cognition of their
services, gratuitously rendered, in con -
nection with the church choir. The
presentation to Mr. Pent was a hand-
some gold watch chain, and to Mrs.
Pent a silver spoen-rack. After the ad-
dress was feed and the presentations
made, a pleasant social evening was
spent, during which Mr. and Mrs. Dent
did everything possible to amuse and en-
tertain their unexpected guests.
BAND INSTRITMENTS.--The band which
we last week announeed as "Band No.
2," has adopted the name of "Seaforth.
Town Band No. 1." The instrum,ents
for this band laave arrived, and are in
every way satisfactory. They have been
purchased at 'k cost of $300.. This band
has employed the services of Mr. G. P.
Peckham, of London, as instructor. The
instruments for both the Seaforth bands
were provided by Mr. 0. C. Willson,
.music dealer of this town, and give the
highest satisfaction to these for whom
theiy were obtained. We cannotsay too
much in praise of the members of both
the Seaforth bands for their praiseworthy
efforts to provide the town with a want
Iwhich has long been felt, and we trust
they will both be abundantly successful.
A CHEMICAL - ENO -INE. —Mr. W. Mor-
rison, Secretary of the Fire -Extinguisher
Manufacturing Company, Toronto was
in town for several days last week', and
on Thursday evening gave an exhibition
of what one of his -small portable ex-
tinguishers could do. A number of 'bar-
rels and other combustible material
were piled npon the street and .set fire
to, and the engine was set to play upon
the flames, and extinguished them very
speedily. The test seemed to give gen-
eral satisfaction to all who witnessed it.
This company, we. believe, manufacture
a large engine whiseh, if it will Work as
effectually as ise represented, would
admirably ineet the requirements of this;
town: The first cost of - the machine
would only be $2,500, and the cost of
maintenance would be but a mere trifle
annually. If our Council intend making
another movement to oletain fire protec-
tion appliances for Se4forth, we would
recommend that they enquire into the
efficieucy- and adaptability of the ex-
tinguishers manufactured by the com-
pany named.

for the 'township of Howick, was held
in Wroxeter, on Nov. 26, before Judge

There was a great scene of consternatiou

ton in the store of F. C. Rodgers.
THE LOST Fomen--The lost money
letter that was mailed in the Brussels
Post Office several weeks ago, addressed
to a certain party in Bluevale, has been
found. It seems that it had been sent
to Wroxeter'where it lay several weeks.
We think that should a similar letter be
mailed by the same individual again, it
will reach its destination withont delay.
Plums FOR THE SCHOOL. —It has been
customary at the end of each year to
provide. the children attending the pub-
lic school with sweetmeats, &c., and
also give them a sleigh ride. The money
to defray expenses has been raised by
subscription among the parents and
guardians, many of whom subscribed
nothing. We would suggest .to the
trustees that they this year expend a
certaiu amount out of school money in
purchasing prizes, to be given to the
children according to their merits, n-
stead of doing as formerly. In this nai n-
ner the ratepayers will each bear a jest
share of the expense, with more profit; if
less pleasure, to the children. 1
Teen Renew:tr.—From a reliable
source we learn that the Southern Ex-
tension, as well as the main line of the
Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway,
have been purchased by the Great
Western Company, and thelprospects are
that -the Southern Extension will soon be
open for traffic. Under such an Arrange-
ment, the people in this vicinity will be
well repaid for the long delay which has
been made in opening the road. 1
Bluevale.
FARM. SOLD.—Mr: John Farrow has
sold. his farm in Bluevale to a gentleman.
named Sohn Etcher, from the township
of Hamilton, Counts; of Northumberland.

to remain in Bluevale and live on the
earnings of his past life.

Roper in the School House in this village,

ROEBERY.—One day last week, a far-
mer residing in the neighborhood of
Clinton, went into a hotel an that town
to have a" social glass" with a friend, ,
having at the same time a considerabln
sum of money in an outside breast pock -
TO be had at STRONG
et. While drinking, eome person stand-
ing by relievecl him of the money, ap-
parently in a joke, and, as the farmer
saw him afterwards replace it, he thought
nothing of the matter, until having oc-
casion to use his funds some time after,
found he was minus a considerable- sum.
No trace of his " friend" could be found.

Seaforth, the Town of Brotherly
Love.
Few places in Canada have grown
more rapidly in populatimi, wealth and
general importance, than the neighbor -
mg town of Seaforth. Fourteen years
ago the only building on the place where
this bustling town now stands was an
old log house. Seven years ago when it
was incorporated as a village, the popue
lotion was barely sufficient to answer the
requirements of the statute. The Sea -
forth of to day is a busy, ambitious,
thriving town, with a populationof
about 3,000 inhabitants_ The causes
which led to such marked prosperity
are not hard to find.. Seaforth has ac-
tive and. enterprising citizens, and is
surrounded by an intelligent and indus-
trious class of farmers who sell all their
grain and buy all their goods in their
own town. There is another cause,
however, which our excellent contempo-
rary, the EXPOSITOR, explains thus. :
"The harmony and good feeling which has
generally prevailed among our business and public
menhas also had a -most beneficial effect in add-
ing to the prosperity of the village. 'Unlike many
towns and. villages, we have in Seaforth no ;po-
litical orparty bickeringe. All parties and classes
unite and work harmoniously together for the
prosperity and good of the place."
By way of contrast—and a most strik-
ing contrast it is—let us glance at the
way things are managed in Stratford.
