A FINE TEAM.—Mr. Peter McEwen of McKillop, passed through town on Saturday last, with a very fine span of heavy draught two year old colts which I he had purchased from Mr. Niel Stew- art, of Ersborne, and was then taking them home. These fine animals were of black color, well matched, and poweefully built. They were sired by Old Enterprise and. are a credit to him. Mr. eleEwen paid $260 for therm • TEACHERS shE-ENGAGED.—Messrh.

Mss Diek 'leaves to take charge of a school in Morris, near Blyth, where she gets ,a considerably larger salary than she received here. • EGAIONDv/LiE LITERARY SOCIETY.—We are glad to learn that efforts are being put forth by leading men of Egramedvilfe to organize in that village a literary and recreation soeiety. They intend open- ing a toom, and furnishing it with papers and periodicals, and other sour- ces of useful amusement, such as draughts, eliess, &c. The membership fee has been placed at the very nominal sum of ten cents. The design of its promoters is to establish- a conafor- table.place where the young men of the village and surrounding country Call assemble and spend their leisure even- ings, and thus keep them from other places and associations which could not fail having au injurious effect upon them. The movement is a most laudable one, and will, we trust, prove success- ful beyond the most sanguine expecta- tions of its promoters. • DOINGS IN COUNCIL.—A motion to -amend the market ley -law, so as to re- strict all persons from selling meat out- side of the market, was lost. 'Und.er the • existing by-law, butchers having a stall in the market can sell meat in any part of the the town they like. A naotion was carried granting the use of the town hall to the fire brigade for the purpose of holding winter danCing assemblies therein, the proceeds from such as- semblies to go to aid the company pro- viding the company bear the expense of lighting, and heating. A motion was passed approving of the purchase of the lot on which to erect the waterworks building. The follOwing resolution was carried that the waterworks cOmmittee be requested to get plans and specfi- cations for the whole waterworks pr pared, and as soon as complete tb advertise for tenders for the whore works complete, and for the different departments separately. Waterworks conmeittee to be composed of the Mayor, Reeve, and, Councillors Strong and Ward. •A motion was also carried to the effect that the waterworks com- mittee be recommended to ask for ten- ders to state difference in price of • Oom pleting works within. reasonable time this seasoa or reasonable time next • spring. The clerk was instructed to prepare a by-law for submission at next Council meeting, atithorizing the grant- ing of licences to persons wishing to sell fresh meats wither the municipality in smaller lots than a quarter. After pas- sing a few accounts and transaeting some other routine business, the coun- cil adjourned to meet at the call of the Mayor. of age. This is a severe blow to ti I &ant, sickly daily sheets, would invest what they squander in this wap in improving their weeklies and making them what they should be; their enter- prise would be much better -rewarded, and the towns they hail from would be vastly more creditably represented. When active manufacturing centres suoh as Guelph, Belleville and Brantford can scarcely support two small dailies, the publishers of the illiterate old borough of Port Hope may well tremble for the success of their ventures. Local, BRIEFS.—Mr. Allan McLean left here last Tuesday on his return to Colorado.—Mr. Cresswell, Treasurer of the South Huron Agricultural Society, will be at Carmichael's Hotel on each alternate Saturday hereafter, for the purpose of paying prize moneys, instead of on each Saturday as formerly.

The project is a good one, and should be successful.—A shoddy pedlar was cited before the Mayor, a few •days ago, for selling a piece of shoddy to a young man in town, and representing it to be good Scotch tweed. The case was settled be- tween the parties, by the pedlar refund- ing the money paid for the goods and paying all costs. The eountry is swarm- ing with these cliaracters just now, and we would once iaore warn the public to be on the Iook-oiit for them. ---Mr. J. S.

Things non? look as if they were to stay in their earthy •ed for the winter.—The mail train fr m the East is gradually getting latex a d later. It is now usually _balf-past five in the evenings before the mails are d s- tributed. We wonder how much km er the postal authorities will thus per it the Grand Trunk to impose upon a lo g suffering people The Town Coun il should have taken the matter in ha d ere this. If they would petition t e Postmaster -General to make a chane, it might do good and could net possib y do harm.—Yesterday heing Thanksgiv- ing Day businesS was suspended, ai d the town maintained a Sunday quiet throughout the day.

BEREAVEMENT. —We regret to lea u of the death of a daughter of Mr. Ch s. • Stewart, of Lie:alley. She was a pro 111 ising little girl of two -and -a -half yea s parents, she being the only child. e also regret to. record the death of ti e second son of Mr. Thomas Glenn, f t e Boundary Line, aged. 9 years, who died about the same time. This berea,veme t will be all the more severely felt by M . and Mrs. Glenn, as this is the seco i d 6 - JOURNALISTIC.—Newspaper enterprise seems to ha-ve run mad. in the sleepy ald town of Port Hope. There are now three daily eind an equal number of weekly papers in that place. The dailies are all creditable sheets consid- ering the size of the town, and are, if anything, ahead of the average town daily. The Ceitie has been in existence for some time The Tim -61 was started a few days ago, and following it is the _News. If Port Hope can deceutly sup- port eine daily, much less three, it must have improved. vastly within the past aix or eight years. M was then about . the driest spot for a newspaper in Can- ada. and two very ordinary weeklies coultl barely eke out an existence. We Call scarcely- predict, therefore,a very profitable career for these new candi- dates for public favor, and we fear that thee who have launchee them will , have to draw pretty heavily on their - "old stockings," if they have such a use- ful appendage, if not upon their credi- tors, to keep them afloat. We never could, even under the most favorable circumatanees, see the necessity for lo- cal,' dailies in tow ii small cities, where the large eity joineals are dis- tributed every day, and. which, in spite of themselves, entirely eclipse the small . local lights.

HEARD Fuom.---Mr. B. Wray has just returned from Algoma, and re- ports a great stir of emigration moving into Townships that are not yet in mar- ket, which is very discouraging to those •that are trying to find themselves homes in the new country. Mr. Wray thinks the Governmenkehould lose•no time in bringing 'a number of these Townships into market, as there is likely to be a large number moving into these new townships In the spring. He also re- ports splendid crops of potatoes and turnips, with . very fine wheat, though somewhat soft on account of the wet harvest weather. Mr. Wray thinks if a lot of our young men would abandon their idea of renting farms or hiring out, and go to Algoma, it would be better for them.—SUBSCRIBER. • 1/10-Cill op. THE WEATHER AND - THE ROOM—The weather remains cold, with westerly and northwesterly winds, accompanied by frequent flurries of snow. There are severe frosts at night with chilling winds in day time.

Cowan left Sea- , forth station on Tuesday last en route I for.his home in Peotone, Illinois. He has been engaged during the . last two months past in erecting a house in the vieinity of Winthrop.

Bray's mar- riage, he gave a party to the young folks in his neighborheod. All the leading aris- tocracy were there. Amusements which were harmless and inoffensive to the Mind, were participated it.

All at once a hot fell on the silent • air, accompanied y the ringing f a solitary bell, and then a cheer froin the coillected band. Four or five shot from the only piece of artillery on hand, with a: few peals from the bell and a despairing cheer brought this outside work to a close, and the band separated, each going to his pla,6e of abode.

A Soee Inreecueratee.—Mr. Editor. - 1 suppose yen are eware that ; there are a greet many people in the world to:day that are in their wrong spheres, but how is it that such people's talents are not noeiced sooner or later? We have a few wemen in this neighbor- ; hood who we are happy to inform you I could run a first class daily paper, if 1 they were only in a position to do so, and I think if G. Brown, the editor of the Globe, had one or two of them on his staff of reporters, he would soon -be able to make a valuable enlargement to his most magnificent sheet. It is bad enough to be accused of beingdrunk and disorderly, when guilty of the same. I, with a party of friends went out to Hen - sell a few evenings siuce to see some friends off to the North-west, and was considerably surprised on my return to hear that one of our number was so drunk that he had to be carried home OIL the soft aide of a board, when he was as sober as John A.
