—As an instance of the difficulties
which some of our tovniship clerks
have had to overcome itt. distributing
ballots:, .dre., at the recent munieipal
elections, on account .of the- etorm and
the bad roads, we give the following
from the Exeter Reflector:- The town-
ship clerks, who have the duty ofsup-
plyik the several deputy returning of-
ficers with ' ballots have had a sorry
time of it this season. If any of _. the '
1 1
Hay township officials deserve credit
for their efforts in the public service,
the faithful clerk should receive his
share. The ballots for the municipal'
election in that township were duly
prepared in anticipation of their very
easy distribution on their arrival in
Zurich on Thursday. Owing ,to the
severity of the storm, however, the
mails did not run. On Saturday after-
noon, travel -worn and perspiring, Mr.
Foster arrived in Exeter in person to
take charge of them, having walk.
ed down the railway track from
Hensall. He describes his journey as
tedious and difficult, and capable of ac-
complishment only on foot. Energy
like this is seldom displayed in the dis-
charge of official duties. We under-
stand that Mr.Prouty, clerk of Stephen,
also met with great difficulty in dis-
tributing his election documents, dis-
charging his duties in that relation Un-
der the most difficult circumstances,
with 'commendable zeal and self-sac•ria
fib oina regard for the duties of his of-
fice.
_ Perth Items.
—Sunday temperance meetings are
being carried on in St. Marys with
gratifying success. • ,
—During the year 1878, 78 . births
were registered in Mitchell, 14- deaths
and 24 nzarriages.
—Mr. John Hodgin, of Hibbert,- has

a•bsent, he married an English lady.
' —Mr. Hugh McIntyre,jr.,of Mitchell,
has been appointed official assignee for
t se county of Perth by the Dominion
overn.ment.
— On the 2nd inst., a. little daughter
of Mr. Wm.1 Moffatt,:' ,Mitchell, aged
three years, fell downstairs in her
father's house, and broke one- of her
arms.
1—The new rooms of the Listowel
Caledonian Soeiety will' be ready for
oecupation on,or about the 15th inst.,
aid arrangemepts are being ,made for a
formal opening. ,
1—The menibers of Knox Church
Mitchell; have decided to erect large
open sheds, for the comfort of farmers
teams, having purchased 30 feet of land
from Mr. S. E. • Davis, at a price of
$125 cash, for that purpose. The lot is
situated in the fear of the oldprinting
office building, and immediately south
of the- chnrch.
—A Jew days ago a young man
named Ducklow, in the employ of Mr.
Jp.o. Goodale, a farmer living a short
distance west of the village of Milver-
ton, had. the Misfortune to out his right
foot in a very severe manner. He Was
splitting a large block, when the axe
glanced and almost split his foot from
the toe to the ankle. He will as a
consequence be laid off work for some
time.
L—On New Year's afternoon, about
four o'clock, the new b.a,nk barn be-
longing to Mr. Joseph Williame, near
Dorking, township of llornington, was
discovered to be on- fire, and was en-
tirely consumed, together with the most
of his farming implements. Mr. Wil -
llama and his wife and. family were
away from home at the time, and. how
the fire originated no person seems :to
know.' It is supposed to have been the
work of au. incendiary.
— A bad fire ccured in the township
of Hibbert on the 8th inst. Whilst
Mr. and. Mrs. Wm. Wall 'were absent
from home their house caught fire,
although Mr. Wall says they left no fire
in the stove on going away. It was a
new frame house and burned very_quick-
ly ; there was nothing saved except a
stand, part of a bed, and a coat. A
Puree containing $48 was burned,
along with everything else in the house.
There was plenty of assistance, but
they seemed to be so much frightened
by the late fire, -which proved so fatal
to; the O'Brien family, that they seemed
almost useless.
—Two or three weeks ago a woman
giving herself the name of Mrs. War-
ren Williamson, called on Several
prominent Oddfellows in Stratford. and
represented that she was from Kings-
ton, -where her husband. was an Odd -
fellow, and. -was on her way to the
Western Sutes: Her funds had given
out, so she said, and. she was anxious
to get to Michigan, asid wanted a small
amount of money. She claimed to be a
member of the Rebecoa degree, and had
considerable acquaintance with the se-
crets of the order. Mr. Chas. Packert
_and Mr. Daly, of the Oddfellows' relief
committee of that towns were not satis-
fied with the story she told, and tele-
graphed to Kingston. and Port Hope,
receiving an answer from the former
place that nothing was known of her,
and from the lattber that it W01329,11 an-
swering her description • had gone
through some of the brethren there for
varions amounts. They then called. on
her at the hotel where she was stop-
ping, and informed her that they had
discovered her history and advised her
to go west. She was well dressed and
ladylike in her manners, but was very
brazen and iMpudent,and did not seem
at all ashamed of being found. out in
such a small business. Since that
time the same person has been trying
to victimize the members of the frater-
nity in towns east of Toronto, giviug out
that she was from Stratford. She is
evidently an adept iu the confidence
business, but her little game will pro-
ba,blybe stopped now so far as Canada
is concerned, as a circular in regard to
her has been sent to all the lodges in
the jurisdiction.

DOBBIN s' ELE =lc SOAP .—Having ob-
tained the Agency of this celebrated soap in Sea -
forth and Huron County, I append the opinion of
'some of our best people as to its merit? : "1 have
used Dobbins' Electrie Soap, made by ,T, L. Cragin
&*„ Co., Philadelphia, Pa., and find it very good.
The clothes are beautifully white and the washing
is done in much less time—Mrs. M. P. Hayes."
" Iused Dobbins'Electric Soap, according to di-
rections, and found the clothes whiter than when.
washed in the old way, and,in half the usual time
—Mrs. M. Y. McLean." "1,1 have tested Dobbin'
Electric Soap, and am higlily satisfied with the
result. 1 believe it capable of doing all the -wrap-
per claims for it, and most confidently recom-
mend it as economizing both time and labor, and
as , doing its work well—Mrs. T. Goldsmith."
"Having given Dobbins' Electric Soap a fair trial,
I think it is all the manufacturers represent it to
be—Mrs. R. T. Coleman." I desire all my friends
and customers to give this Soap one trial, so they
may know just how good the hest soap in the
United States is 11HOMAS KIDD, Seaforth,
