liams, President of the Methodist Con-
ference, and others. An interesting ,
meeting may be expeoted, and. we hope
to see a large turn out of our citizens
+at
dug mit; Whicheup to the time of the
present writing has not been worn-
plished. The snow drifts on that part of
the road are said to be something appal-
ling, the banle.s!on each side of the track
rising to a height of twenty feet or more,
and the- drifts presenting an obstacle
through which no plow can force its way
without the assistance of a numerous
"shovel brigade." We are not prepared
to predict when the road will -again be-
come clear for traffic, but we suppose
every effort will be put forth to accom-
plish that object as soon as possible if
another batch of snow storms don't in-
terfere. March has made hisdebutin a
manner that would do honor to a whole
colony of roaring lions, and if there is
any virtue in the old saw, and -its exit is
correspondingly -gentle, we shall slide
into the lap Of spring without a ripple.
BAND CONCERT. —The concert, under
the auspices of the Seaforth Band, ad-
vertised to take place on Tuesday, 2nd
inst. was unavoidably postponed till
Tuesday, 9th inst., owing to the block-
ade of the railways, and the impossibil-
ity of severarof the principal artists be-
ing able to reach here in time. Under
the circumstances, we think this was the
best thing that could be done, and -the
consequent extension of time has enabled
the promoters of the entertainment to
make their preparations more complete,
so that on Tuesday evening next, the
-public may expect something really ex-
cellent in the concert line. A very at-
tractive programme has been prepared,.
and the services of Miss Kate Murty, of
Paris, Miss Morris, of :Brantford, Mr.
Ogden, of Clinton, Mr. T. Norman, of
Hamilton, .and several local amateurs,
have been engaged for the occasion.
With such an array ofl talent, we pre-
dict a full house and a successful enter-
tainment.
IN NEW Pienertsts.e-Mr. J. S. Rob-
erts having leased the store -recently oc-
cupied by Mr. William Allan, has had it
fitted up in, first class style, and now oc-
cupies it as a drug store. With the ad-
ditions and alterations made by Mr.
Roberts it is now admirably adapted for
his business, and we have no doubt his
increased patronage do more than
reimburse him for tke outlay he has
made.

TOWN COUNCE ,—The regular meeting
of the Council was held on Tuesday
evening. The following were granted
certificates for shop hcenses : James
Wright, James Murphy, J. C. Laidlaw,
Thomas Kidd, Wilson & Young and
Beatty & Co. Tavern licenses were
granted to James Weir, J. & D. Curry,
_Mr. Dawson sad James Ross. A num-
ber of accounts were referred to the
Finance Committee. It was decided
that the rent tariff of the Town Hall
sheukl. be $5 per night to parties from a
distance, and $3 to our own citizens.
Adjourned.
THE WEATHER.— Old Probabilities'',
has been indulging in a first class
boree" during the past week,_ the record
being a succession of snow storms, and
consequent discomfort to animated life.
Almost every day has brought its quota
of "beautiful snow," and the roads have
again been rendered highways of tribu-
lation to those whom uecessity compel-
led to traverse them. Business in town
has been dull, on account of the un-
wonted, absence of customers, and a feel-
ing of disgust, arising from hope deferred,
has seemed. to. pervade the entire com-
munity. But the most annoying effect
of the ,compression of so much, weather
in so short a space is the detention -of
• the mails through the blockade of the
railways. But a single mail has been
received by rail since Saturday last,
that having arrived on Tuesday. The
express from Stratford on Wednesday
managed to get nearly as far as Sebruig-
irille
where the snow proved 't00 mach
for it, and it ingloriously succumbed,
giving rise to a good deal of unparlia-
raentary language oil the part of the pas-
sengers. A train going east on the
same day, after fighting its way as far as
Seaforth, was compelled to remain here
till the train at Sebringville should be
SEAFORTH BARREL MANUFACTORY.—
The other day we had the pleasure of
looking through the cooperage of Mr.
Volmar, in this town, and if appearances
go for anything this is one of our most
vigorous industries. In this, as in other
branches of • business, labor-saving naa-
chinery has been introduced -With great
effect, and Mr. Volmar is no wise behind
the times in the appliances at his com-
mand. There is one machine; however,
which Mr. Vol -mar takes especial pride
in, it being, we believe, the only one of
the kind in Canada. After the barrels
have been set up, and the temporary
hoops tightly compressed by means of a
machine, made for that purpose, which
accomplishes its work on each barrel in a
few seconds, the barrel is placed in a ma-
chine, which, on moving a lever, clasps
it at both ends, and causes it to revolve.
The ends are then trimmed off even,
beveled, and a grove very neatly cut for
the headiug, all being done by a knife
and saw in the machine at each end, and
in a single revolution of the barrel. The
latter is then taken out, and is ready for
the hoops and the headings. By -means
of these machines a great deal 'of time
• and labor is saved, as they do the work
in seconds, that it formerly took min-
utes to accomplish by hand. We only
regret that our limited knowledge of
mechanical details prevents us from go-
• ing a mere lucid description of their -
working. Formerly Mr; Vanier em-
ployed about 26 men in, his establish-
ment, turning out about 350 barrels per
diem. present he only employs 15,
but with the labor-saving appliances at
his command., he is enabled to turn out
500 bar -rel h per day, a figure which could
be considerably increased were there a
corresponding demand for them.
MASONIQ CONSECAI.A.TION AND BANQUET.
Phe consecration' of the new Masonic
Hall of Britannia Lodge took place o n Wed-
needay eveninglast. The ceremony was
to have taken place in the afternoon, but
owing to there being no trains running
between this place and Stratford, the
members of the Grand Lodge from a dis-
tance having had to drive from Strat-
ford; they did not reach here until even-
ing., The ceremony, which was a very
impressive and beautiful one, was. per-
foul:lad. by Right Worshipful Acting
Grand Master, J. K. Kerr, of Toronto,
assisted by Right Worshipful Brother
Mason, District Deputy Grand Master,.
Hamilton District, and Acting Grand
Secretary Right Worshipful Brother
R. P. Stephens, District Deputy, Toron-
to District ; Right Worshipful Brother
Otto Clotz, Past District Deputy Wel-
lington District; Right •Worshipful
Brother Fraser, Fast Grand 'Registrar,
Toronto; Very Worshipful Brother John
Gibson, Stratford, Grand Stewart;
Right Worshipful Brother James IL
Benson, District Deputy Huron District,
assisted by the Worshipful Mager, Of-
ficers and members of Britannia Lodge.
The ceremony was witnessed by a num-
ber of ladies who graced the- occasion
with their presence ; also by several
brethren from the neighboring lodges of
Mitchell, Clinton and Zurich. The cere-
mony being ended the ladies and non-
members of the craft retired, after which
the lodge was opened in the first degree
and an initiation performed by the Wor-
shipful Master, and witnessed by - the
Grand Officers. The hall was beautiful-
ly decorated with, apprepriate paintings
and pictures, and being: well lit up, pre-
sented a Most gorgeous appearance. The
lodge and ante -rooms are all carpeted
and neatly furnished, and the members
of Britannia Lodge have just cause to
feel proud of their handsome and com-
fortable preinises.
—At the conclusion of labor in the
I lodge room the brethren repaired to the
•I hall of the Commercial Hotel, where
they were joined by a number of friends
who do not belong to the Order, and all
sat down to a sumptuous repast, pro-
vided for them by the genial and com-
petent host of the Commercial, Mr.
I Davidson. This hall also was beautiful-
ly and tastefully decorated by mottoes,
banners and picturesat The chair Was
taken by H. L. Verpoe, Worshipful
Master of Britannia Lydge, and the vice
chair by Brother Coleman' both of whom
their duties with their accus-
tomed -ability. On the right of the chair-
man was seated the Grand. Master,
and on the left Worshipful Brother
Clotz, one of the fathers of Masonry in
Canada. On either side of these sat the
other members,of Grand Lodge present.
Toasts, songs and speeches followecl each
other in rapid succession until an
early hour in the morning. After hav-
ing spent a most pleasant and socialable
evening the company oonclud.ed by sing-
ing " Auld Lang Syne."
--In justice to the officers and mem-
bers of Britannia Lodge, and especially
to -the Wotshipful Master, we raustmake
mention of the highly complimentary
remarks indulged in by the Grand Offi-
cers regarding the working of the Lodge.
The,Grand. Master was especially pro-
nounced in his laudations in this respect.
He stated that of the many Lodges he
had vieited, he -had never seen the cere-
mony of initiation more correctly or ef-
ficiently performed than it had on that
evening been clone in Britannia Lodge,
and he gave the Lodge, in respect of its
working, a first position. among the many
Lodges under the jurisdiction of the
Grand Lodge of Canada. That Britan-
nia Lodge may long. continue to main-
tain and deserve this. enviable reputa-
tion, is, we ttre sere, the wish of all who
are at all interested in the Masonic
cause.
