THE EOMONDVILLE LECTURE. — The
lecture given in the Egmondville Pres-
byterian Church on Tuesday evening
last by Rev. IVTr. Smith, of Toronto, on
"Prejudice and Progress," was very
fairly •attended, although doubtless
many more would have been present
ked the roads not been so bad. The
lecture was one of the most interesting:
ever delivered in -these parts, and the
mode of delivery was unexceptionable.
Mr. Smith is an aceompliahed and
fluent speaker, and his matter was
equally as entertaining as his manner.
Hi a audience were completely delight-
ed, and were he to repeat his lecture
either in Egmondville or Seaforth, he
would be almost certain of a crowded
• audience. The managers of •the Eg-
mondville Church deserve all praise for
previclingeueh a literary treat. In the
audience were several clergymen, most
of whom had remained over from the
Preabytery meeting to hear Mr. Smith,
and they were, certainly, well repaid
for their trouble. We understand the
proceeds amounted to something over:
$40.
ENTERTAINrirENT.—The musical and
literary entertainment held in the Sea -
forth Wesleyan Methodist church, un-
der the auspices of the church choir, on
Wednesday evening last, passed off very
pleasantlee and was attended by an
audience of about 200 persons. Mr.
John Beattie occupied the chair in his
usual happy and humorous manner.
The opening chorus was fittingly ren-
dered by the church choir, and an in-
teresting and instructive address on the
power and charms of music was deliv-
ered by the Rev. Mr. Cobb, pastor of
the church. Readings, grave and gay,
were given by Messrs. S. G. McGaughey,
W. Hill, W. M. Gray, Dr. Campbell and
W. Harstone, while the musical part of
the_prograrnme was well sustained by
Mrs. Beattie, Tew and Wright, and
• Messrs. T. Joslin, J. A. Cline and A.
Hill. Miss Houghton presided at the
piano with her accustomed ability.
After a few'Closing remarks by the
chairman the audience dispersed, ap-
parently well pleased with the even-
ing's entertainment provided by the
choir.
TIIE CAR NIVAL. —The skating carni-
val held on the Dominion Rink on
Tuesday evening last was , the most
successful affair of the kind ever held
in this town. The attendance of spec-
tators was very large, and the ice was
well covered with skaters. Nearly all
the costumes were in good taste, and
• several of the characters were well
taken. The skating also was very
good, that of some of the ladies being
particularly admired. Owing to the
- warm evening, the, ice was not so keen
as it would have been under more fa
vorable circumstances, but the evening
was a very pleasant one throughout.
The following is a list of the prize
winners : Best ladies' costume, Mies
Bella cardno. Best gentleman's cos-
tume, Master William Brine. Best
lady aketer, Miss Bay, Clinton ; 2nd
Miss Martha Davidson ; 3rd Miss
Martha Lusby. Best gentleman
skater, Mr. Theodore Clinkhanamer ;
and Mr. Thos. Co-leman; 3rd Mr. D.
Morris, Goderich. We understand that
it IS the intention of Mr. Murphy to
give another carnival in about ten
ten
days should the weather permit, of.
which due notice will be given.
CURLING.—A very interesting and
closely contested curling match took
place at Brussels on Saturday last be-
tween two rinks of the Seaforth Club
and an equal number of the Wroxeter
Club. The match was for the Gibbons
medal, and resulted in favor of the Sea -
forth players by 16 shots. The follow-
ing is the score:

We understand that a re tch has now
been arranged between •eaforth and
Goderioh, to play for the medal, with
four rinks, on each side. If Seaforth'
succeeds in beating Goderi h, they will
become the holders of the .. edal. This
match will take place as 0011 as the
weather will permit, and • ill be looked
forward to with consider ble interest
by the curling fraternity.
Stneeee Deeen.—We mu h regret to
learn of the death of M . Alexander
Stewart, of Brussels, and ou-in-law of
Mr. 1,Vm.Fowler, of Tucker mall, which
sad event took place on uesday la.st.
Mr. Stewart had been suffering from111 ,
health for over a year, and on ac-
count of this had to give ap work and
retire from business in. Brn sels, having
been in partnership with Mr. Peter ,
Smtt, as general blacksmi hs, for sev-
eral years. He thought, h wever, that 1
he was recovering, as recoil ly he both
looked and felt much bettee than usual.
He in Seaforth a few days ago, and
had all arrangements mad to a.ccona-
pauy his brother-in-law, Mr. Geo. Fowl-
er, to Dakota on the 15th in t., where he I
intended residing in future f the coun- I
try suited him. On Monda he became
suddenly worse, and on Tuesday, as
above stated, he died. Mr. Stewart
was well known in this town, having
served his apprenticeship with his
namesake here, Mr. Alex. Stewart, an
was afterwards employed with Mr
Thomas Hill, of Egmondvile, for som
time. • He quitted Mr. Hill's emplo
about three years ago, and in comp=
with. Mr. Peter Scott established a MOB
prosperous 'business in Brussels. H
was a steady, hard-working young man
and was a general favorite Wherever
known. -He leaves a youpg wife and.
one child to mourn his sad and suddea
departure. Theitmeral took place yes'
Corday (Thursday) and was largely at
tended. He was a native of Brussels
where his relatives still reside, and wa
interred in the Brussels cemetery.
A COUPLE OF LITERARY EVENINGS.
We understand that the Committee e
Maaeagernent of the Seaforth Meo-hanics
Institute have provided for a couple o
rare literary treats for the people o
this town and vicinity. Taking ad
vantage of the presence in town o
Professor Traverner, who is now in
strutting a large class in elocution, the
have induced him to give a Couple o
entertainments in, the Town Hall. Th
first will be in the town hall on Wed
nesday evening next, and the second o
the following Friday evening. Thes
entertainments will be- in aid of th
Mechanics' Inetitute. Professor Tra
verner is one of the best readers an
most popular elocutionists in Americ
to -day, and the people of Seaforth are
fortunate indeed in having -furnish
them so favorable an opportunity o
hearing him. His selections, also wi
be mainly of a humoretis character
which are always most acceptable o:
such 'occasions. We have before ea
testimonials from some of the nibs
prominent Divines and Statesmen o
Canada and the United States, all o
whom speak in the most flattering term
of his abilities as a reader and instruc
tor in elocution, but space -will not per
mit of their reproduction just now. W
may say, however, that any who mis
the professor's readings will. deriv
themselves of a real pleasure.

Tu PRINTING- CONTRACT.—Mr. Editor
—Sir I have been, as you, no doubt
know,1 a snbsoniber to your paper for a
good any years, and, although I do
not pijofess the same political creed that
y,ou 0, yet there are many features
about your paaer that I very much ad-
mire, and one in particular is, that you
do no intrude upon the public your
priva e and business difficulties and
dispu es if you have any. Yon seem
to tr, , and very properl,I think, to
sink s lf and give to your feeders that
whic • will be more interesting and pro- 1
fttabi ' 64 them. I have al o, for some
time, •e4n a reader of yo r town con-
temp•ra y, and I am sorry lhe does not
in thi respect take a leaf from your
book, for however much theJ readers of
pap tr may think of its e itor person-
ally, iher do not care to k ow about,
nor di t ey feel interested in, his pri-
vate ndl business grievanc s, whatever
they 1 ay be, as the relati n between
reade a$ publisher is of a Ipurely com-
'merci1 1 haracter. At lea t this is the
way !feel, and I do not su pose I am
any ore selfish or hardh arted than
other pe,ople. In exercisin this, pecu-
liar t ait of journalism, I netioe that
some imIes your contempor 4 is boast-
ful aed blustering, and the at other
times he is cringing and. pleading pov-
erty. I isuppose he times his, pipe to
suit t ie 'circumstances of the hour.' I

Killo bwnship printing ti -at he as -
same tlie poor and poverty- tricken role,
and a clime you of trying o "run him

circn stances are the very reverse. I

25 y er, and although 1. -have paid
some ttention to public afirs, I have
never heiard a complaint made as to
the q ality of the printing done for the
township, nor yet of the priees charged.
I bell ve for at least half 44 that time
the work has been done at your office,
