COMPLIMENTARY SUPPERS. --E--02 Friday
ening last a number of - the, friends
Mr. Etenry Town assembled ' at Car-
roll's Hotel, to participate in a
Flapper in his honor. The sp
gotten up in Mr. Carroll's be
d was ;duly appreciated by

braith, Hiram Hann h, John,Morrison,
and Norman Leslie, McHillop ; George
H. Morrison, Wel on ; John Rynn,
James Cllark, Adam Rinn and family,
James Wilson and m. Dunlop, Hul-
lett; J. B. Anderslore Owen Sound.
This train was under the direction of
Mr. T. Ford, travelling agent • for the
Grand Trunk, and Mr. G. De ws, of the
Northern Pacific. There were three
passenger coaches, and all had abund-
ance of room, and before Stratford was
reached, all were coinfortably located
in their respective seats. Barring the
temporary sadness occasioned by leav-
ing behind old friends and familiar
scenes, they all seemed cheerful and
hopeful, and we trust tbeir highest
hopes and brighest anticipations will be
more then realized. The train left
Stratford about 12 o'clock, and it was
expected the parties would get past the
Custom authoriiiei at the lines before
night, and if -all goes well the most of
them will reach their destinatione, or
at least as far as they can go by rail, by
Saturday night. Most, if not all of
those who Went with families, had been
out before and had prepared homes for
their reception. The greater number,
however, were young men Who. go ont to
work at various trades and csllings in
the meantime, and if they are pleased
with the country will take up land and
make it their future home. Besides this
train another was made nit at Clinton,
composed of three passenger coaches
and fourteen freight cars; and a third
at Goderioh, containing two passenger
and, ten freight cars. Each train was
under separate management and will be
run through separately. One advan-
tage in going in this way, and which is
muoh appreciated by those having stock
and freight, both passengers and. freight
go through in one train, and all reach
their destination at the same time, 'so
that at the journey's end there is no
delay waiting until the freight comes
along.
AOGIDENTs.—On Monday last, Mr.
John Harry, of Egaiondville, while
working' in Mr. T. Kidd's salt works
aocidentally slippedoff a plank on which
Its was standing and fell into the {eoiling
kine. Fortunately he got hold of the
pan, and saved himself from being
terribly 'melded. As it was he got his
legs scalded severely, whioh will neces-
sitate his remaining in the house for
*boat a month. At last accounts he
was progressing favorably.—On, Satux-
day last an Mr. Wrct. Caenoohan was
gaming in from Brimfield with- one
a Wilson's egg wagons, and as he was
riding on the top of a load of boxes, the
wagon gave a sudden luroh, and losing
his ballanoe, he fell off the load on to

Tait SALT WELL.—A meeting of the
shareholders of our salt well was held
in Reynold's Hall, on Monday after-
noon, the 13th inst., at which there was
a very fair attendance. The matter of
disposing of the well, (which, by the
way, has proved a white elephant in
the hands of the committee,) was
brought up and discussed, and after due
deliberation the Committee, with the
consent of the meeting, surrendered
their interest in the same to Mr. 1 Wm.
Blair, the owner of the land in Which
the well is situated; thus Mr. s Moir
becomes the possessor of the well he so
little -expected to possess some{ few
months ago,and thus have the sanguine
expectations of those who believed
they were going to realize a hand-
some little premium or fortune on their
shares,been doomed to disappointment.
However, be this as it may, matters, as
the old saying has it, are never so bad
• as they might be, for the stockholders
are yet to receive the neat little sum of
15 per cent., or, $1.50 per , share, the
same being the amount due each share
from the division of the surplus money
obtained, and then they have the pleas-
ing satisfaction of knowing there is an
unlimited bed of salt underlying them,
and that there is nothing like salt; and
last, but not least, it is a satisfaction to
know that the well remains in the
hands of our respected townsman, Mr.
Moir, who, we know, will be willing to
dispose of it on the most reasonable
terms, and to the hest advantage of the
village and surrotinding country. We the 'Thames Road, for $57 -an acre.
