THE FIRE Batoana.—The annual
meeting Of the membereof the Seaforth
Fire Brigade, for the election of officers
and the transaction of other business,
will be held in the town hall on Mon-
day evening next, at half -past seven
oeclock. A full attendance of members
is particularly desired.
Want or IVATER.—A slight mistake
being made Iast week in the aimounce-
ment made respecting the 're:Week of
prayer, we again call attention to
the arrangement for holding these meet-
ings. On Monday evening, January
a*, at 7.30, the meeting will be held in
thePresbyterian Church, Seaforth; on
Tuesday evening 9th instin the Cana-
da Methodist Church, Seaforth, on
Wednesday evening 10th inst., in the
Presbyterian Church, Egmondville ; on
Thursday llth inst., in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Seaforth, and on
Friday 12th inst., in the Presbyterian
Church, Seaforth. All are cordially
invited to attend those meetings.
ST. JOHN'S DAY.—The members of
Britannia Lodge, Seaforth, celebrated
St. John's Day by attending divine ser-
vice at St. Thomas' Church, on Sa,b-
bath last. The brethren assembled in
their lodge room at the appointed hour,
where, being joined by a number of
Clinton brethren, they formed in pro-
cession and infull regalia marched to the
church. An excellent and appropriate
sermon was preached. by the Rector,
Rev. Jr Hill, which was, listened to by
large congregation. The musical
part of the services by the church choir
was well performed. At the close of
the service the Masons re formed in
procession and marched back to their
lodge room. There was a very good
turn out of • members and visitors, and
they made a reest creditable appear-
anne.
CotincrioN FOR SELLING LAND WITH-
OUT A LICENSE QUASHED.—In Novem-
ber last a complaint was laid against
one Ephraim Chapman, a licensed auc-
tioneer for the county of Halton, for
selling land by auction in the county of
Ruron`without a license for that coon-
tx, contrary to the provisions of the
edunty by-law. The case was heard
before four naagistrates in the town of
Wingham, two of whom were them-
selves licensed auctioneers for the
eounty of Huron, and the defendant
was convicted and fined. At the hear-
ing of the case Messrs. Meyer tk Dickin-
son, of Wingham, who appeared for
Cihapman, objected that the magistrates
who were licensed auotioneers were dis-
qualified by interest in the success of
the prosecution. They also raised the
eqection that no license was necessary
in. order to authorize a sale of lands by
auction, both the statute and the by-
law confining themselves to sales of
chattels, Mr. Dickson, one of the pre-
siding magistrates, dissentiug against
conviction. On appeal. by way of
oritenon, Mr. Justice Oster has ad-
ikdged that the conviction should be
gnashed, deciding both objections in
favor of the appellants. On the ques-
tion of costs, he reserved his judgment,
remarking that if he could find that the
practice would warrant- it he would
award costs against the two raagistrates
who had been objected to as interested
ia the issue.

,tion. In the ether wards the result

34. St. George's Ward. -0. S. Doane,
42; J. C., Stevensen, 36-; W. C. Searle,
48. In the matter of Mr. Gordon the
number of votes cast is no indication of
his want of popularity, but was • caused
by a notice posted by that gentleman it
the poll signifying his withdrawal from
the contest.
LOCALITIES.—Young Mr. Wittingham,
who recently returned from Manitoba,
having succumbed to an attack of Red
River fever, We are glad to say is on
the mend. We s.lso notice in our midst
another arrival from the land of booms
and blizzards, Mr. Frederick Smith.

—As will be seen from the above the
Cottucil for the current year will be

Beattie, Deputy Reeve. Councillors,—
A. Strong, A. ,Stewart, 0.0. Willson,

M. Morrison, N. Muff, and Dr. Scott.
Messra. Strong, Wilson, Beattie, Stew-
art, 0. C. Willson, Dr. Scott and N.
Miff were in the Council lest year.
Many will regret the absence of Mr. R.
Brett from the Council Board. He
has proved himself a most efficient
officer and a hard working Councillor.
Had he decided to stand for the South
Ward, however, instead of the East
Ward, as he was nominated in both
wards, he would have been elected
without a contest, as neither Mr. Strong
nor Mr. Willson were desirous for the
position, and either of them would have,
made way for him cheerfully.
PrirserreezoN.—On Saturday evening
fast the employees of Mr. D. D. Wilson,
to the number of 15, met at his resi-

A SURPRISE.—Mr. Daniel Bell, Of the
3rdconcession, was very unexpectedly
aroused from his slumbers on Christ-
mas -about midnight, by a surprise
party, who had driyen their teams in
close parsuit at a terrible speed all the
way from i Bluevale, each apparently
.striving to arrive at their destinetion
before the other. As the occupants of
the first rig reached Mr. BelPs they
immediately left their conveyance to
wander where it liked, and ran with
wonderful alacrity,being followed closely
by the rest, arid burst the door open,
knocking it off its hinges. They did
not, however, read an address before
melting the presentation,but immediate-
ly began disposing of their Xmas boxes
in a manner in which Mr. Bell did uot
approve of. Altlaough they did not get
a very warm reception, some of them
undoubtedly thought it quite warm
enough, as Mr. Bell succeeded in strang-
ling one of them,who fichly deserved it,
until he was blaek in the face. Although
it is said that their horseshad not a
dry hair on them when they areived,
-Mr. Bell did not thank them any more
for their hurry, and brought them
before the Justice of the Peace on the
next day; but es Mr. Bell told the
justice to be "a.isy" with them, they
were not fined more than ordinarily
heavy.

--On Tuesday morning of last week
Mr. Walgate Tebbutt, of the Maitland.
concession, breathed his last after en-
during a short illness. The circum-
stances of his death are particularly sad,
and are as follows: A. few weeks since
he went to Qu'Appelle, Northwest Ter-
ritory, to see his son Edward, who was
then lying very ill of typhoid fever ;
leaving him, as he thought, on the road
to recov.er3ehe returned home, and was
himself then laid up with the same
malady. Medical assistance was im-
mediately called in, and although every-
thing possible Was done for him, it was
of no avail. Mr. Tebbutt came to this
country from England in 1843, with his
father, who afterwards returned home
