Trail NEW. BANK. — The Seaforth,
agency of the Bank of Commerce was
opened for business yesterday. This
bank is one of the best and.safest mon-
etary institutions in the country, a,nd
the management have made a most jn- .
dicions and wise selection in appointing
Mr. M.T. Hayes as agent. This gen-
tleman thoroughly understands the ne- •
cessities and requirements of the place,
and as a Bank Manager is deservedly
popular with business.men generally.
Aaaavnasanx SERVICES.—The
versary services in connection with the
Canada Methodist Church in this town
will be held on Sunday next, when ser-
mons will be preaehed at the usual

A Bnarawun Boma—Mr. D. Mc- .
Gregor, book -binder, of this town, has
just completed the binding of a couple
of volumes of Shakespeare's works for
Mr. Jordan, of Goderich. The books
are bound in grained. Russian leather
and the covers and edges are beauti-
fully ornamehted with gilt and gold. As
apeciineu of artistic workmanship it
kis the handsomest we have seen, and is,
certainly, most creditable to Mr. Mc-
- Gregor's skill and taste as a workman.
As a book -binder Mr. McGregor has
few equals in Canada:

THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW.—There has
now been a splendid fall of snow and
we are enjoying excellent sleighing. As
a, result of this the town, has been
. crowded for the past few. days. Pro-
duce of every description as well as
• cordwood and logs are being rushed in
and our merchants, who always sell
cheap, have been doing a rush4
ing business. Things are beginning
to look like old times once more. When
wo SOO our streets crowded, and the
thoroughfares leading to the town lined
with a continuous stream of teams, as
has been the case for the past few days,
one is almost led to hope that good
times are returning again. There is
one drawback, however, prices are very
low; but the equally low price of all ar-
ticles of consumption and wear will in
some measure counterbalance this. One
dollar will now purchase more store
goods than one dollar and, a half would

pied by Rev. Mr. Campbell, with per-
formed the duties of 'his position in a
manner ealculated to show that he is
_
•
highly competent to attend to -this part
of an entertainment with credit Whim

self and pleasure and profit to an audi-
ence. The Company, 4encouraged by
the suCcess which attended this enter-

mended that in view of the late period
in the municipal year at which the pe-
tition was presented to the Council,

report Was adopted by the Council.
The committee to whem was referred
the complaint that the billiard tables in
the Mechanics' Institute recreation :
, room were being used without the cue-
tomarylcense being paid, reported that
in their opinion atoieiety or club having
billiard tables for , *to or gain is equally
liable for the license with any indi-
vidual , having billiard tables for
a simil r purpose. The report of the
commit ee was adopted by the Council.
After passing a number of accottnts, the -
Council adjourned. '

SAOERVICES.—The anni-
versary services in connection with the
Seaforth Presbyterian Church were
held on Sunday last. The -Rev. Mr.
Macdonald, of Elora, preached both
morningi and evening to crowded con-
gregations. The Reverend gentleman
is an able preacher and a fluent and
pleasant speaker. In the evening the
church was crammed full, there being
a large number of Mr'. Macdonald's old
friends from the surrounding country
present: They were Ioertainiy well re-
paid for coming out, is a more clear,
logical and affecting Scriptural dis-
cause is seldom he rd. The annual
tea -meeting was held kn Monday even-
ing. The refreshments, of which there

Pm-ism-sue—We regret to learn that
the Rev. Dean Murphy, of Lishtown, is
again prorated by a severe attack of
illness. he reverend gentleman con-
tracted a severe cold while in the dis-
charge of his duties; which has turned
into tYplibid fever, and at last accounts
he Was inl a very ' low condition. This
•is the secjnad attack of sickness he has
had within two years, and gre kt fears
are now entertained regarding his re;
covery, as he has not been in i e best
of health for some time past. We sin-
cerely trust he will shortly be restored
tii, health' as none would be more h-
at
rated tlan he by the people 9f .this
town an surrounding county, and
particulaifly by his own parishioners,
whose spiritual welfare he ha.s always
looked aftler with the greatesV diligence
and 'anxiety. ;

VICTORIA SQUARE AGAIN.-L.AIT. Editor
—I was much pleased to observe in a
recent number of your paper SO ?le stir-
ring remarks anent the Victoria Square, ,
and would much like to know where
the fault lies, and if • it is not the parsi-
mony of the Council which prevents an
unsightly lot being made "a yng, of
beauty" for the place, in accordance
with the wish of the donors: • That it
must be be the fault of the Council is evi-
dent, from the fact that the pleas were
prepared and the property soli with
distil/et and positive statement ' that
this piece was reserved for $ public
square, aid that an adva,need pr ce was
, denaanclec: and obtained for the lots
fronting on the Square by the repre-
sentative of the heirs of the estate. In ,
addition lo this their represe tative,
Dr. -Gouitilock, promised that on the
Connell of the town underta mg to
deepen Si:ver Creek, so as to ivako a
perfect drain for the low lying property
of the plaoe, in which the estate was
especially interested, he would onvey
to them the land in question. f the

is all that any man need ask for. ' That

cinity know. I have heard (tko truth
of which 1 cannot aver), that a .leed for
the said let Was prepared by the legal
representative of the heirs, but -hat it
was so en limbered with conditicias that
the Cpunc declined to accept it ; The

ITEMS.—There is a considerable effort
being put forth for the construction of a
joint stock -cheese factory here for the

trY in, their particular localities.—Mr.

scale.—Our genial friend, Mr. E. Snell,
hab of late added heavily to ids pre-
viously heavy stock. Edward is now
shewing a splendid assortment of goods
in his line, and possibly he is doing as
lively a trade as many of the village
m erchants.

the United States for a few weeks, re-
turned home last week, bringing with
• him eleven fine deer, together with a
• good assortment of other game-. He re-
ports game abundant in the Michigan
woods. Mr. Reif also thinks a great
deal of the country through which he
has travelled. 0 He has two brothers in
the State and they are both doing Well,
having good farms. One of the deers
weighed 216 pounds when dressed.
A CHALLENGE.—Mr. James Houlden'
of Hay, near Hills Green, has 60 rods
• of 'English thorn hedge, Which for
thickness, beauty and growth he chal-
lenges the three counties. He can
show six, four, two and one year's
growth. This hedge has been raised
from the seed by Mr. Houlden himself.
It is not easily surpassed for beauty
and growth, and Mr. Houlden has
spent much patient toil in its cultiva-
tion, but he has at length been abun-
dantly rewarded, as perseverance and
industry almost always will be.

THE GRAND MORAL 1,ENTERTAIN1IENT.
—An. entertainment bearing the abate
title was given in Gofton's Hall on
Wednesday evening last, by a troupe of
distinguished , (?) artists. The perfor-
mance was tolerably well patronized by
the more intellectual portion of the
community, which, we presume, places
itsmorality beyond question, though
a doubt- may possibly linger in the
ininds of those who patronized the
affair as to its entertaining qualities.
NEW POST OFEICE BUILDING.—The
new store and post office erected. during
the past season by our enterprising
townsman, Mr. -Dickson, is now com-

a, convenient and central position.

GOOD WEIGHT.—A mother and daugh-
ter paid a visit to a friend in this vil-

station about to return home, our
worthy station master proposed to

scales at 450 pounds.
GRANGE• DINNER.—The Grangers of
this village had their usual nnual
din-
ner on Friday evening of 1 t week at
Mr. West's hotel.' There' vere present
about two hundred, among whom we
noticed Mr. Young, Reeve of Colborne,
and Mr. R. Currie, Deputy -Reeve of
Wawanosh. After the physical man
was satisfied, they then enjoyed an in-
tellectual treat. The programme,
which was well carried out, consisted
of speeches, recitations, vocal and in-
strumental music. On the whole,
everybody appeared to enjoy them-
selves, and went home well satisfied
with their evening's entertainment.

DEATH OF A ORMER RESIDENT.—Man y
of our reade in this neighborhood.
will regret learn of the death
of Mrs: Dr Monroe, formerly of
Brumfield. The sad - event took
place in D troit, on the 14th ult.,
after a pai ul and lengthy illness.
She was 43 y &TS of age. We copy the
-
following eon erning the deceased from
he Michigan 1Christian _Herald: " Mrs.
onroe was b rn in Trowbridge, Eng-
land; her fa her departed this life
when the deli hter was but three years
old; her mo her, .-however, who was
an earnest fa thful christian, lived to

daughter, and her eldest brother, when
but fourteen y ars of age, put on Christ

and lively Ala °salon, her fears were
constantly a oused lest she should
bring reproachupon the cause she
loved. Althea h oftenregretting that she
did not more rosely .follow Christ, she
ever knew th time that the thought of
n t
sin was not repulsive. She early in life
became a te cher in Sunatiy-school,
and rejoiced tell the young of the
beautiful life f Christ,. and incite them
to seek afte purity and truth. A
number of her pupils gave evidence of
being truly onverted. In 1867 she
visited Caned , and in the following
March was nited in naarriage with
Dr. N. Mun400. They then located.
where there w s no Baptist church, but
this instead of alienating her from God,
blip inspired. h r to more courage and
zeal chris ian service. Although
leaving her rel tives and friends was a
severe trial, s d the more placed her
affections up n eternal things. She
started a Bibi class in her own home,
and once a we k taught the young in
the knowledge of Christ until family
cares compelle her to relinquish her
charge. She ever neglected the means -
of grace, wh n health made it pos-
sible for her o avail herself of such
privileges. H christian influence was
elt in every community where ehe
lived; &ways identifying hereelf with
hristian people and christian work.
In 1874, Dr. and Mrs.Munro, with their
bree children, settled. in Detroit, when
Mrs. Munro immediately became iden-
ifted witlythe Lafayette .Avenue Bap-
ist church, whore she greatly enjoyed
her religious privileges. Early in 1877

She returned t her childhood's home,

PERSONAL --Mr. Robert - McColl, of u
Morris, intends leaving with his family
for their new home • in Kansas, about
the 1st of January. Mr. McColl has
purchased the farm of Mr. James Mus- 1
tard, together with the entire stock and. b
outfit, so that he will have everything e
ready to go to work with and make w
money from the outset. The farm is B
in Dickenson County, where so many
other Huronites are already located. a
It contains 325 acres. Mr. McCall is T
very much taken up with the country, o
and we hope himself and his estimablq, itt
f leaving her earcsaes seemed. almost
nbearable. ut from the first her
greatest aretiet was that the family
heuld partake of a like precious faith

and and chil en to him who careth
von for _the sp ows, and say, " Thy
ill be done." She then called her
