Reformers of Seaforth will be held at
Weir's Royal Hotel this, Friday even-
ing, at half -past seven, for the purpose
of appointing delegates to attend the
great Reform Convention at Toronto,
and the transaction of other important
business. We trust thet every Liberal

PROPERTY CHANG-E.-Mr. James Mo -
Michael, of HulIet, has purchased the
house and lot an Goderich street, now
occupied by Mr. John Ward, from that
gentleman. Mr. MoMichael intends
erecting a handsome brick residence on
this property next summer, which will
add very naaterially to the appearance
of that part of the town. The Price
paid for the house and two lots was
01,600. Mr. Ward has purchased the
property on Victoria square, at present
occupied by Mrs. Wm. Hill- He pays
for this the sum of $1,600, so that he
just makes an even exchange, but this
place is more convenient to his busi-
ness than his present residence, which
consideration induces him to make the
change.
CHRISTMAS DAY. -The services in St.
JamesRoman Catholic Church, in this
town, on Christmas day, -will be of
unusual splendor. The decorations will
be of a very extensive character, every-
thing according with the solemnity of

Rev. Dean Murphy, of Irialitown, assist-
ed by the Rev. Fathers Shea, McMullen
and Lamont. Mozart's Magnificat and
Lambiiottists Tantnin Ergo will be sung
on this occasion, the music -throughout

2tIORZ LAW.—We notice that Mr. P.
S. Carroll (late of Messrs. Garrow &
Proudfoot's law office, Goderich,) has
this week opened a law office in Myers'
Blook, in the name of the latter gen-
tleman. Yr. Carroll, we believe, in-
tends passing his final examination in
Februarrenext, after which it is his
intention to perm an ently locate amongst
us as a legal practitioner. In the mean-
time, however, we understand that any
legal business with which he may be
intruste& will be carried on by, and in
the name of his former principals,
Messrs. Garrow & Proudfoot.
-As will be seen by notice elsewhere
the old and well known legal firm of
MoCauglaey & Holmesterl has been dis-
solved, and each gentleman iatends
°ferrying on buainess On his own account.
Success to both of them.
THE CLINTON CHRISTMAS SNOW. -The
show for the exhibition and sale of fat
atook held at Clinton ander the aus-
pices of the Hullet Branch Agricultural
Society on Tuesday last, was fairly sue-
oessful: There was a large crowd of
people in town. The competition in
stook however, was not very strong
owing no doubt to the deep snow and
bad roads making it impossible either
to drive_ or draw fatted animals any
great thstanoe. There was a very nice
show of poultry and keen competition,
and a good allow of butter. The follow-

was abundance for all and to spare. At

LOCAL BRIEFEL-ThEt Public and High
Schools will be dismissed for the Christ -
mail holidays to-dayaeOur enterprising
butchers, Moises. Ewing and Jane are
making the usual preparations for a
lasge and attractive display of Christ-
mas meats. -Some wicked wag has

Intyre, Young and Wilson; for Coun-
cilmen, Messrs. M. 'Markey, Hugh Balk -
will, D. McArthur, Sergent Ed. Hallett,
P. Spain, P. Hughes, and John Crate -
ford. -The skating lriek was opened on
Monday night last mach to the joy of
the lovers of that healthful amusement,
and is being liberally patronized. -It is
currently reported that Mr. James H.
Benson has gone te Regina, where he
has received a Ctn

ixient.-Mr. John r Lyons is now pre-
paring the plans fdr a large brick
addition which Mr. D. D. Wilson intends
erecting to his Eeg Emporium next
summer. It is to replace the old frame
building, and will I be the size of the
building on the Corner of main and
Goderich streets.--LDuring the present
week Mr. Hugh 'Robb has brought
several carloadof pork from St. Mary's,
Goderich and other distant towns. The
fact that Seaforth dealers can afford to
purchase pork froM the dealers of other
places and allow tleem their margin of
profit on the article, shows pretty cot -
elusively that this is the best pork
market for farmer e tq come to if they
want to get the hilghest prices. -Since
the late storm there has been very little
wood coming int ' market, and as a
consequence the s pply is running short
and prices have go e up. -Mrs. William
Robertson, of Oak 'lle, has been in town
some days visiting friends. She left for
horiae on Wednesday, -On Wednesday
evening last as Miss H.awkshaw, in .
cornpaey with another lady, was out
driving and when turning round at
Harpurhey, the horse took fright and
bolted to the side of the road upsetting
the cutter and thrfring the occupants
out. Miss Hawk ha,w was somewhat
stunned, and was taken into the resi-
dence of Mr. Hugh Robb, but soon re-
vived sufficiently to eetnrn home. The
t
horse made its wa to Seaforth at some-
what faster the regulation speed.
When opposite t e Royal hotel the
shafts and the vellicle parted company
and the horse was 'captured opposite
Mr. Dorsey's bleckemith shop. No
serious damage was done. -The rain of
Wednesday night and yesterday heti
settled the snow clonsiderably and will
increage the water stipply. If it freezes
up the roads will be 'much inaproved.-
The roof of a large shed on the premises
of Mr. Thomas Deweey caved in a few
days ago from the weight of snow upon
it. Fortunately the building was empty
at the. time. -The nominations take
place to -day. Very little interest seems
to be taken in municipal matters by our
citizens this year. -There are some thirty
candidates writing fpr admission to the
Seaforth High Sc ool. Most of them
are from the country. -Letters have
been received froth Mr. G30. Turnbull,

time ago. He ha 4 tedious and some-
:
what rough passe e across the Atlantic,

ANNITZRBARY SERVICEs.-The anniver-
sary services in connection with the
Presbyterian Church ha this town were
held on Sancley last. The Rev. Mr.
Lyle, successor to Rev. Dr. Orrciistmeof
Hamilton, preached both morning and
evening to large congregations. Li the
evening the church was filled to its
utmost capacity. Mr. Lyle is a cone-
paratively young man, but is an able
and powerful preacher. He is some-
what argumentative: but uses the
choicest language, and is certainly an
accomplished orator, and is well worthy
to occupy the pulpit so long and so ably
nuea by his illustrious predecessor. On
Mon.day evening the annual tea -meeting
was held, and was in every respect a
success. The weather was pleasant: but
the roads were still bad. and in many
places impassable, so that, large as the
attendance was, it would undoubtedly
have been ranch lareer had it not been
for thia drawbaa. Four large
selio has several times sung in this town
as married Tuesday evening to Mr. M.
oCulloch, of -Hamilton. Mies Barr
had ink recently returned from a very
s °easeful musical tour in the Nortle-
eat whither she had been with Mice

For a distance:of seyeral miles
some struggled through the drifts, spend-

were miles to be traversed; and although
sdme of the most enth.usiastio had to
give up the attempt to reach the Manse,
by 9, p.m. its spacious rooms were
tilronged, and the storm raging without
was for the time forgotten, or served by
way of cOntrast only to give additional
warmth Id colouring to the scene with-
in. Under the combined effects of the
glowing fires and a vigorous manipula-
tion of broom asid brush, the marks of
their recent conflict with the hosts of
the storm king were soon effaced from
the visitors, and the company having
been called to order, Mr. James Wight -I
man, elder, assured the occupants ef
the Manse that, notwithstanding the
war of elements raging without, they
came peaceably. He then, on behalf of

Wilkins made a moat- feeling reply.
After ample justice had been done at
the table suocessivly spread with good
things the ladies had brought with them,
the evening was spent in conversation
varied with music and the examination
of pictures by means of the telescope
and magic lantern, apt as the roads in
all direations had now become complete-
ly blocked so that these from a distance
could not possibly return home before
the next day, it was well on in the “wee

those of the village ventured out to seek
their homes. In the cqurseof conversa-
tion during the evening- the position of

ably over $8.000.
PECULIAR ACCIDENT. -One day last
week Mr. Jas. Swan, of Brucefield, met
with a singular and painful accident.
He was driving a threshing machine
engine along the Huron Road, near
Alma, which happened to be cut away
on one side. To prevent the machine
from tippieg a long pole wee run
beneath it, from side to side, on which
himself and a companion were seated.
The other slipping off, caused the pole
to fly with a spring, and Mr. Swan, was
thrown over the machine, into a snow
bank, injuring him somewhat about
the shoulders.
Hibbert.
A GOOD BuLL.-Mr. B. Hogarth, of
the 10th concession, recently sold a
very fine three year old 'bull to
Samuel Henry, of Ellice, for the sum
of $150. Mr. Hogarth purchased this
_fine animal when a calf in Pickering,
and has had him abont two years. He
was got by John Dryden's imported
"Royal Barrinton."
RE7URNED.-There was considerable
anxiety and uneasiness felt by the
friends and relatives of Dr. Nesmith.
owing to his being long in arriving
home after his departure from Scot-
land, but his appearance on. the 6th
inst., dispelled all fears, and brought
consolation and relief tO the distressed.
His sea voyage occupied 23 days, dur-
ing which some very rough weather
was experieuced. The boiler burst,
and for nine days the vessel was in
great 'danger of sinking. Dr. Nesmith
spent about five months in the hospi-
tals in Glasgow and Edinburgh, where
he graduated and obtained the degree
of M. D., which entitles him to Creat
those afflicted with all the maladies
common to the human flesh.
