NEW STORE. —.Mr. M. IL :Counter,
jeweler, has moved into the new store
lately erected. by him on Main Street.
The new edifice is white brick, two
stories high, and witha handsome front.
The lower storey is occupied by Mr.
Counter as a jewelry store, while the
upper flat will be used. as a Masonic
lodge. • The store is a large and elegant
room, ancl presents a very, neat appear-
ance. The ceiling and cornices are orna-
mented with handsome designs.in plaster
Paris, adding much to its attractiveness.
The central part of the store is occupied
with handsome show cases ranged in the
form of a hollow square: The eouth side of
the room is to be lined with show cases
reaching almost as high as the cornices
of the ceiling, and of a very elegant pat-
tern, in. which the more bulky part of
the stock will be displayed. A good
sized, roomt at the rear of the store will be
used as a workshop. The upper flat:in-
tended for the use of the Masonic frater-
nity, is entered by a hallway and stairs
from the street. The lodge proper is a
fine large room, and When finished will
present a very tasty appearance. Seve-
ral anterooms adjoin the lodger om, which,
will be used for MasonicspUrpeses.
cellent means of ventilation are provided
for the whole building. Altogether, the
structure is not only a credit to the en-
terprise of Mr. Counter, but to the town
ancl though he has expended some $5,000
n its erection, we hope that, as bread
tzet upon the waters, it Will return to him

• Saw Bousn.—The storm of last
week was the occasion of a state of things
which it is said hasnot been seen for
more than twenty years in this part of
the country, and we see by our exchanges
that we have not been the only sufferers
by the interruption of traffic through the
accumulation of snow on the highways.
Reports come from. all parts of the coun-
try annoimenig the presence of an unpre-
cedentedly large quantity of suety's the
drifts in eome Ogees reaching a depth of
25 feet, and smaller ones of S or JO feet
being so common as to be considered
mere trifles. The various railroads have
also hacl a hard time of it, the Toronto
and _Nipissing Narrow,Guage- being' clos-
ed indefinitely, the Toronto; Grey and
Bruce faring but little better, and the
various other roads, with the exception,
perhaps, of the Great Western, being
kept open only by the most strenuous
exertions. "Snow blocks" have occur-
red at various points along the lines,
very often necessitating delays of one or
two days at a time, The Buffalo and
Lake Huron Branch of the Grand Trunk
was blocked for four days, no traius hav-
ing passed through from Wednesday till
Monday. Only one mail, was received
from east or west during that time, that
being carried through by team from.
Stratford to Ooderich, and bringing back
the s estern -mail. As a consequence, a
very rge amount of mail matter accum-
ulated in the post office department, and
when the eastern and western trains
crossed here on Monday, 22 large mail
bags. well filled, were sent to the post
office ib
for. distrution. The arrival ofthe l was greetedSri 1 MUC satis-
faction, and before it had been distribut-
ed a crowd of some two or three hundred
people had congregated around the post
office, eagerly awaiting the opening of
the wicket. The roads in the country
are still -very bads and it will be soi4
time before they are sufficiently beaten
lown to ensure comfortable traveling.
Altogether, with the unusual amount of
now and. the persistent and extreme
cold, the present may be safely put down
as one of the ha,rdest winters Canada
has seen for many, years.
SUNDAY &soot Soerar..—A social and
musical entertainment, under the aus-
pices of thc Canada Presbyterian Church
Sabbath School, will be held in the base-
ment of the chnreh, on Monday evening
next. The musical part of the entertain-
ment will be provided. by Mr. Robertson,
of Hamilton, and. ocalists of the congre-
gation. The proceeds are to be devoted.
iLl aid of the Sunday school, The enter-
tainment will be a good one, and should
be largely attended. .
Tow ie CO C.NCIL. --The Council met on
Tuesday evening. A by-law to repeal
by-lawe Nos. 36'D and 63, and to fix the
amount of tavern and shop licences was

licenses to give security to the extent of
'$1-00 each, and two sureties of $25 each.
An account from Dr. Vercoe for holding
an inquest on the " Stephen's fire." was

MIssioNARY S ERVICES. —The annual
missionary services in the Methodist
Church, Seaforth, were concluctecP on :
Sunday last by Rev. Mr. Lavell, NY13.0
preached two excellent sermons. On '
Monday evening the Anniversary meet- j
lag was held; Which preyed lughly suc-
cessful, both in peint of attendance and
the degree of interest felt m the proceed- ;
ings. Interesting and appropriate ad:
dresses were delivered by several rever-
end gentlemen, and some excellent mu-
sic was furnished by the choir. .A.
col-
lection in aid of the missions was taken
up and liberally responded to.
THE KrerEer ROAD. —Some few weeks
ago, Mr. Hugh Love, in a' communica-
tion -to TILE ExBostron, directed atten-
tion to the Kippen Road, and its ina-
portance • to Seaforth. This 'road, as
most of our readers are aware, branches
from the London Road at Kippen, and
leads direetly to Seaforth, through Eg-
_
mondville. The distance between Sea -
forth and Kippen, by this road, is some
two miles and a half less than by Bruce -
field and the Mill Road, arid most of the
travel from the townships of Hay, the
west of Usborne, and the South of Stan-
' ley to Seafortli, would be over this road
at all seasons if it were) kept rn el pass-
able conditiou. The road belongs to the
towuship of Tnekersmith, and is all
graveled with the exception of about
a mile and. a quarter on the end next to
Kippen. This mile mid a quarter still
remains ungravelecl, and in the spring
and fall is in such a condition that load-
ed. teams ca.nnot pass over it. The traf-
fic, therefore, at these seasons, goes by
Brucefield. When at Bnicefield, parties
are as near Clinton as Seaforth, and may
go there instead of coming here, who,
had. they -been able to take the short
road, would have coMe direct to Sea -
forth. Mr. Love contends, and we do
not know but correctly-, that through
this cause Seaforth loses a sufficient
amount of business to justify our au- ,
thorities in assisting to gravel the por-
tion of the Kippen road' at present un- I
graveled. Tuckersmith refuses to gravel •
this whore as it is used more for the '
benefit of other townships than for its
benefit. We believe, however, that
eacli of the municipalities interested
would be willing to bear an equal pro-
pertion of the cost of the Work, if steps
were taken to bring about, an arrange-
ment of this kind. While we do not ;
think that the proposed. improvement I
would be of sufficient -advantage to Sea.
forth to justify a.very large expenditure
Var...asTuses.---During the early part
of the week, the votaries of Cupid reck-
lessly spent their money in proeuring
these emblematical missives for the ob-
jects of their young affections, and the
post office officials- have handled more
oilaher part, yet we do think that it
weuld pay her to contribute a fair pro
portion with the other inunicipalitiee in
terested. We would suggest that the
-Council open communication with -those
other nuthicipalitieS, and endeavor to
make with them an equitable arrange-
ment to have thetroad completed. Sea -
forth is at least sufficiently interested in
the matter to justify_this,

DEeeTRUCTIVE FXRE.—About 3:30 on
Monday afternoon a • fire broke out in
lower Wingham, completely consaming
Peter .Fisher's extensive flour
dwelling house and woolen factory.
The flames made such headway that it
was imprassible -to .save anything except a
few articles in the lower stories. A large
qua.ntity of flour and about 3,000 bushels
of wheat were consumed besides the ma-
chinery. The loss in the woolen factory
was light, as the stock was mostly clear-
ed out. Mr. T. J. Jackson's store and.
dwelling were saved by the most heroic
exertions, damages mostly through re-
moval. Mrs. Bruce and. Fanny Taylor,
who were working at the looms in. the
third story, were severely injured by
leaping from the window. Miss Ander-
- son, also at work in this story, was res-
' cued while hanging fit= the Andow
sill. The fire 'originated from -the woolen
fattory, and is supposed to have set fire
to -the wool which burned like • powder
Attehibald Fisher's saw mill ran a narrow
,risk, as • the heat was intense. Mr.
Fishees loss is. about $30,000; insured
for $5,000. - No insurance on the factory
or the dwellings.

. BRUSSELS CHEESE FACTORY. —The an-
nual meeting of the patrons of Brussels
cheese factory was held in Parker's Hall,
on Friday, Feb. 12. Owing to the im-
passable state of the roads, it was not
largely attiaded, and the manufasturer
was tztalile 'to be presehtfrom the same
cause. The Committee's eeport for
the -past year was received, from
which the following information was
obtained: The amount of milk received
was 466,658 pounds ; cheese manu-
factured, 46,254 pounds '• -milk received
.for first half of season, 283,012 pounds;
received for last half of season,. 183,646
pounds e cheese manufactured first half
of season, 27,107 pounds ;. manufactured
last half of season; 19,147 nounds ; -avere
age of milk to -pound of cheese for first
half, 10.41; •average for last half, 9.60;
average price receive& by patrons for
cheese, 8.07e. Mr. Hugh - McCartney
intends to carry on the factory next sea-
son, and judging. from the efficient Man-
ner in which he .conclucted it during last
season, we have no cloubt he will be
largely patronized nextseason. r
Tin s ARKEr SITE. —A special meet-
ing of the Council was heldon Wednesday
evening of last week, for the pu rpose of dis-
cussing the market site. All the mem-

-different sites., it wa,s moved by William
Graham, seconded by P. Thornsiini that
the motion of Oct. 20, 1874, in relation
to a market site, be rescinded; that the
Council have the privilege of nominating
certain.number of sites, and an infor-
mal vote by ballot be taken by those
persons whose names appear on the
Voters' list, the result of -said ballot tobe
binding on the Council. It was -moved.
in arnenchnentby 13. Gerry, seconded by
Thoteas Lezidbeater, that as the mem-
bers of thia Council are of opinion (and
we believe also a large majority of the
ratepayers) that the parcel of ground
known as the old market square is not
the most suitable site on which to erect a
market building, a motion passed in open
Council on the 26th'of October last with
respect to a construction of said build-
ing, be and is hereby rescinded, and that
a yote of the ratepayers who were. en-
titled to vote attne last municipal eke -
tion be taken by ballot on the 23d, day.
of February next, on the two sites known
as Laird's and Martin's, and that the
Council adopt the site that shall re-
ceive the majority Of such votes. There
voted for the motion Wm. Graham and
P. Thomson; for the amendment, B.

The amendment was therefore carried.

ESPONDENT sends us the follovel
ing : With regard to the big chopping,
done in Hullett some time ago, zenotice
of which appeared in the Ex.rosrron at
the Jinja permitme to say that the trees
were chopped down and trimmed. the day
before, the wood chopped the next day
and split and piled the day after.
The parties were so exhaustecl by their
great feat that they have not been sen
in the vicinity of the chopping 'since.
They have kept very quiet in one of the
. little villages of Mullett, where they h've
received many challenges, backed- by
large sums of money, to perform what in
their boasting they have stated to have

utmost satisfaction by the, audience.
Some excellent musicwas furnished by
the choir of the Presbyterian Church,

duties of organist with her usual ekili
and effect. Mr. James Cline, of Seaforth,
was called on for a solo, and gave "Pass
-Under the Rod" in excellent style,
eliciting much applause. On the whole,
the entertainment formed an epoch in
the annals of Kippen, and at its close all
expressed thomselves delighted.

vicinity are fairly blooked with snow,
seriously impeding travelling. This is

SontaB.—The soiree which was an-
normeed for the 12th has been postponed

A Queer Mistake.

DEAR SIR,—I tOOle up the EXPOSITOR TO
this evening to read- over the proceedings
of our township Council, and read as fol-
lows: "Moved by Mr. Anderson, sec-
onded by Dr. Woods, that this Council
do now adjourn, to meet at H. Mc-
Cann's, Bayfield, on the 28th inst., at 2
o'clock P. M.—Carried." The thought
occured to me that the Council meeting re

STANLEY, Feb. 17, 1875.
[We agree with our correspondent that
the hour appointed for the Council meet-
ing would be rather soon after church
time to permit of a full attendance of
Councilors, that is, taking it for granted
that the members of the Stanley Council
are all good church -going men. As we
are unable to find the original copy of
the Council proceedings, we are unable
to say whether the error, as error it un-
doubtedly is, was made by the Clerk or
by -us. We are ioclined to the opinion,
however, that we are the guilty parties,
as we -do not think thab the respected
Clerk of Stanley, or even the Council,
would arrange for a Council Meeting on
Sunday. Mistakes will- sometimes hap-
pen even in the best regulated
Ex.-posn'on.]
