MuNICIVAL MATTERS.--Seaforth mun- icipal politics are very quiet as yet.' 'Unless a sudden breeze springs up on nomination day there is not likely to be much opposition to the.present Council-. loss, We understand that Mr. ,Grassie who is one of the oldest members of the Board, and who has served his constit- itents of the East Ward long and faith- fully has become wearied. of munieipal -work and has consequently deterrciined not to be again a .candidate. We also team that Nr. Charles Wilson does not intend being again a, candidate. With these exceptions, sa far as we know, the members of the present Council all 'in- tend. to stand for re-election.

In fact, the oldest inhabitant " cannot recollect of such mild: weather at this, season of the year. Farmers who have plowing to do are busily engaged in the field, and they say the plow runs splendidly. Owing to the frequent rains and. lack of frost the roads are almost impassable. Basiness,however, although not nearly so brisk as it would. be did we have sleighiug, has been very fair so far. Our streets and stores are usually -Well filled, and thus far, this season, a very fair trade has been done by our business men. This, at least, is some- thing to be thankful for even if • money is scarce. A.
