C. AN AZ,ISWEI TO RATEPAYER. --Mr. Edi- tor -.Sir: In your issue of January 30, -1 *observed a communication from a person, signing himself "Ratepayer," which,- to say the least of it, is highly amusing. From that gentlenean'a; re- markssome people might be led to sup- pose that the Council of Hay was an in- stitution run for my special benefit. "Ratepayer" says the Reeve has been instructed to erect a culvert on the Cen- tre -Road, on application of Mr. Buchan- an. - Now, Mr. Editor, I do not say that hItatepayer" knows; but, I do say, that every one who has carefully read the minutes of the Council anent this mat- ter, and understands the English lan- guage, knows; that the Reeve was not so instructed. "Ratepayer" further says there has been a culvert pot -in for that gentleman's use a few rods to the west of where he wants this new one. Again, I do not say that "Ratepayer" knows, but I do say without fear of con- tradiction, that every person who is familiar withtlaelecelity and conver- sant with the subject under discussion, knows -that no such culvert has ever been construoted. - I think says "Rate- payer" in his innocence, that the Reeve should take' a good view ofithe siirroonde- ings_ before he acts. Nov, sir, my af•- plication to the Council, invites the, Reeve to view the surroundings - before he aets. _ The motion of the Council 'instructs the Reeve to view the sur- roundings before he a.cts. All this, coupled with "Ratepayer's" sage advice, will certainly insure a thorough exam- ination of the surroundings by the Reeve before he takes action in the mat- ter. Then we are favored with the an- nouncement of a grand and original dis- covery by "Ratepayer." Thates to say, that there are places on the Centre road where money could be spent to ad- vantage, and the performance is mod- estly b plight to a conclusion by a igen- erous estowal of advice as to the lo- ealitye hexe such expenditure would be -litost3udicions, and no doubt our worthy Reeve will estimate the value of "Rate- payer's" advice by the amount of knowl- . edge he displays. But before I close there is ontathing that I must admit that "Ratepayer" has made very clear indeed; that is, if "Ratepayer's" fellow :ratepayers rated "Ratepayer" a•t his own rate, he would now be occupying, a 00IIIIGillOT'S chair at any rate. -W. BUCHANAN. 111=111111111•1., TEE -DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT.1-The entertaipitent given here by the "Hen - still Dramatic Society," last Friday evening in Purdy'seHall, was highly successful.

The chant were ably sustained, establishing . .ability of the society and paving way for a full house when they again favor us -with a production. The audience theugh not as large as might have been islaed, was select and highly appreciative. - DRAUGEITS.-A draught match was played at Kirkton on Monday evening the 9th inst.'between the Kirkton and Hensall clubs, resulting in a defeat for the home team.

The affair was a- grand success. -It is said that the wife of a gentle- man recently appointed ehaplain to a Grange, in this county, is anxious to join the Grange in order that she may for once hear her husband pray. -Mr. Horace Townsend, of the 2nd concession' of Tuckersmith, who has been confined to his bed for .six weeks by typhoid fever, has recovered suffi- ciently to be able to walk about. , -Since Sheriff Gibbons had his beau- tiful medal struck off for a trophy to be won by the best -curling rink -8 in the county, various other Sheriffs are exhibiting their liberality in the same direction. --The eleventh Division Court for the County of Huron has been estab- lished, with headquarters at Centralia, in the toWnship of Stephen. Mr. Hab- kirk has been appointed clerk, and Mr. Ellis bailiff. - On Tuesday Rev. p. G. Sutherland, of the Methodist church,,Clinton, left for a four mouths' Initieln Egypt and adjoining territories. Ile goep to Lon- don, England, where he joins a party of Cook's tourists. - Not Nithstanding the open -winter we understand that the fall wheat crop in the vicinity of _ Wingham is look- ing remarkably' well. This is very for- tunate, as the number of acres sown last -fall far exceeds that of any previous season. -The Elimville debating club, a few evenings ago, discussed the subject, "Resolved that the world is getting worse." The chairman gave his deci- sion in fever of the negative. The de- bate took place, however, before the Lucan tragedy. -On Monday last Neil Stewart and James Ratcliffe appeared before Squire Wilson, of Blyth, to answer to a charge of stopping the horse of Mr.Robt. Sprung on the public highway. They were each fined $2 and _costs, amounting in all to a sum of over $7. -L-A curling match was played at Wingham a few days ago, between four Grits from Bluevale and four Tories from Wingham, resulting in favor of the Tories by six shots. Wingham Tories -Messrs. Strong, Dinsley, Kent, Bray (skip), 19. Bluevale Geits-Messrs. Tatterson„Smith, Mitchell, F. Patter- son (skip), 13. -We are pleased to see that Mr. J. R. Forsyth, of Morris; has received a patent for his "automatic car coupler." Those v(ho should know- say that Mr. Forsyth has the best coupler in the world, and that he has a fortune in it. None would be better pleased than our- selves to see Mr. Forsyth paid well for. the fruits of his ingenuity. -Farmers are becoming alarmed for the safety of -the fall wheat crops about Exeter, .owing to the unseasonable na- ture of the weather for some time past. The thawing,by day and freezing by night has the effect of honey combing the surface of the ground, thus heaving up the roots. The !general impression is that unless there is a change: very soon, theIall wheat will be badly injured. -e-Messrs. J. & J. Livingstone pur- pose running their flax mill in Brussels to its full capacity during the coming season. The flax business has again brightened up, and the markets which have been surfeited. for some years are now open. In. a- short time Messrs. Livingstone will have an agent in Brus- sels putting out seed, and it is believed. that a large area will be sown in this section next season. -Mr. W. II. 'Verity has purchased from Messrs. Ross Brothers & Taylor, of Exeter, the commodious building which was at one time calculated for a planing factory. Mr. Verity intends completing it at once and adapting it to his requirements as a foundry and ma- chine shop, and, as soon as convenient, removing his machinery thereto. His present premises he finds too con- tracted for his works, and. the change will denbtless be followed by an in- crease" in the manufactures of the concern. miday evening last week was the fourtl anniversary of the establishment of thel Hullett Grange, and the occasion was thserved by -holding a festival in their meeting room at Londesboro. The occasion was also taken advantage of to present Res. James Baker, wife of the late efficient -secretary of the Grange, with . a handsome plated. cruet; which was accompanied, by a very flattering address, expressigg regret at the intend- ed,removal Or Mr. Baker, and testifying the/geed will and esteem of their many associates. s -Mr. E. J. Hill has been appointed postmaster at Holmesville. Consider- able lecal feeling has arisen in conse- quence, many naturally eupposing that when Mr. Duff purchased the business of Mr. Kelly he would be appointed postmaster in his stead, and. as'he had fitted up his premises for a post office, it will be quite a loss to him. Whether politics had anything to do with the change we do not know, but it happens Mr.,puff is a Reformer and Mr. Hill is not: The business of the office does not amount to much, but it takes custom- ers to the store. • -The manual meeting of the South Huron Orange Society was held at Ex- eter, on Tuesday laSt, her being over 100 delegates present:from the different parts of the riding. The officers elected for the ensuing year -were: F. W. Johnston, County Master; J. Dagg, Deputy Master; J. McMath, Secretary; Rev. W. Walsh, Chaplain. ; J. Joslin, Treasurer; J. Scarlett, Director of Cere- monies; S. Mo -Math, Lecturer. It was decided to celebrate the 12th of July at Bayfield this year, and to hold the next annual meeting at Exeter. , -Says the Wingham Time : "Some time ago, a number of the Conservative element in Seaforth offered a bonus' to induce some one of ability to start a Qonservative organ in that town to be as large as the EXPOSITOR. From the Mitchell Advocate of lest week, we clip the following: 'Two df our townsmen have decided on, starting a Conservative paper in Seaforth. They will find up • hill wk iributting against the EXPOS' TOR, which is one of the best country papers in Ontario.' One thing is cer- tain, it may be.as large as its rival, but it will take it some time before it is as igood." -A farmer from near Goderich, now iving in Kansas, had 100 acres in wheat ieet year. trom this he. reaped the magesificent rop of 240 bushels, which therefore, from his hundred acres $192, he eel& at 80c per bushel, realizing, withouatc..nl, xakhiinsgis said dy allowancetobeef no, fortin. work, usual occurrenne. -.A,-euriosity has lately been found by Miss Margaret McKenzie, of the 12th concession of Ashflekl, in the shape of a small target composed of deer skin. The supposition is that this relic watt. lost by the Indians when wandering through the primeval forests of Ashfield. Its surface bears evidence that it has at some period been used by4he Indian braves as a targeteit being thickly cov- ered with arrow naarks, but, strange to say, there are only two bull's-eyes. This at once repudiates i the stories of . the wonderful accuracy of the Indian's aim. unless it was used by boys or the dusky ladies. Miss McKenzie charges 25 cents to see the curiosity. May she reap a fortune from it. -From the Ontario County rierald, Michigan, we learn of the death of an old Huronite, Mr. John McKay. He died at his residence, Central Lake, Antrim county, Michigan, on •the llth ult. He was in his 89th year. The Ilerald says: His loss is mourned by his many relatives' and friends, and deeply regretted by a large circle of ac- quaintances. - May he rest in, peace. The deceased was a native of Suther- landshire, Scotland, and immigrated to Canada in 1848, and lived in the town- ship of Tuckersmith, Huron county, Ontario, until the year 1871, when he Moved to Michigan. He was married in 1822, andlived to see a large number of hi a great-grandchildren, the oldest of whoria, that were present at his funeral:, , being 10 years_old. His wife, a smart; .old lady of 84 years, still survives. -The following statement was given at the last annual meeting of the Grey Township Cheese and Butter Manufac- turing Company: Amtiunt of milk re- ceived, 725,851 pounds; amount of cheese manufactuited, 69,712 pounds; average pounds of 'Milk for a pound of cheese, 10.41; total amount received for cheese, $4,800.66; average price per pound nearly 6c and 9 mils; 41.80.for every 100 pounds of cheese was charged for all expenses, leaving a balance in the treasury of 7O.66;$the actual cost of manufacturing each pouud of cheese was lc. 7m. The followinge is the Board for 1880: President. -Wm. S. Crerar, ,Tanaestown P. 0.; Secretary - Treasurer, Archd. McDonald, James- town P. 0.; Directors -W. S. Crerar, Alex. Ross, Ed. Bryans, John Strachan and Jas. Turnbull. -A meeting of parties who intend emigrating to Dakota, was held at Clin- ton last week, and was attended by a large Lumber, of course, many more than by those intending emigrating. The chair was occupied by Mr-. Searle, and Mr, C. Morrow acted as secretary. The following names were given in as members of the party, which, we are told, will be supplemented by a large number, who intend to go, but are un- certain as to the date of departure. The first company intend to start about the 16th of March: Edward Lupin Wm. Elliott, Geo. Matthews, Duncan McFarlane, W. J. Johneton, -Andrew Smith, James C. McDonald, Charles Morrow and family, Alex. " McDonald, Jas. Sterling, Thos. Burnett, John Bur- nett, Geo. Pratt and family, Ben. Fish- er, Peter Wild, Wm. Anderson, Charles Shane, Alex. Shane, Wm. Sterling, Eton Taylor, John McDonald, Thos. Wilson, Wrtr. Marshall, George Pratt, Jr., Isaac McNeil, James Cox.. About twenty-five horses will be taken with the party. -On Saturday last Mr. Samuel Mc- Whinney, farmer, living at the Nile, in the township of Colborne, came to God- erich on ordinary business, and as usual put up at the Colborne Hotel. He was itt his usual health, the state of which was that of the average individual. When ready to go home he had his team and sleigh in front of the hostlery; and had. been conversing with Mr. Sproule, when, without any premoni- tory ailing symptoms, as he was about to step into the sleigh he gasped, his limbs failed to support him, and he fell to the ground, and what a few sec- onds before was an apparently healthy man of 35 or 36 years, lay there devoid of animation -the spirit flown to the great fountain head. Mr. John Martin was on the spot in a moment, medical men were summoned, and everything that the circumstances demanded or kind hearts could suggest was done, blit all was of no avail. A. friend drove de- ceased's team home, and informed the suddenly made widow and family .of six young children of their mournful be- reavement, while a neighbor afterwards conveyed the lifeless body to the home so recently made desolate. It was not considered necessary to hold an inquest, the cause being clearly traceable to heart disease, terminating ire apoplexy and death. Auction Sales.
