PERSONAL MENTION.—The Bluevale
correspondent of the Brussels POst
makes the following reference to I a
prominent lady of this town : Mrs.
Prendergast gave an excellent address to
a slim audience on Monday evening.
This eloquent lady speaker possesses a
clear, ringing voice of considerable
power. She is decidedly American an
appearance and manner. Her bri#,
durt sentences, elegantly worded, and
delivered in an energetic business man-
ner, would lead one to believe that she
" Tiag born. south instead of north of the
40th parallel.

' NEW COMERS.—Mr. Thomas David -
eon and family, eleven in all, from the
township of Scarboro, passed through
geaforth last Tuesday on their way to
itettle on that beautiful farm situated on
the banks of the Maitland, near Cran.
brook, on the 12th concession of Grey,
which Mr. Davidson recently purchased
from Mr. Ilawkshaw. Mr. Davidson is
a, brother-in-law of Messrs. Johnstone,
Smillie and MeFadzetrai, who live on the
17th concession of -Grey. We have
iieasure in welcoming so estimable a
entleman to the county of Huron, and
ope himself and his family will enjoy
health and prosperity in their new and
comfortable home.
110NORiNG A CITIZEN. -2 --The Brussels
Post of last week says: On Sunday last
- -when Wm. Hartry, who has recently s
removed to Seaforth, vi§ited Brussels -
after a brief absence, the Sunday school
class of which he had been teacher for
-
&cult and too long for the time allowed.
—We are reque,sted-by the head master
to -give the following a place in our
columns: A mistake was made by
those copying the result of the exaniin-
ations which- appeared in our columns
last week and Mr. J. Hislop's name ap-
peaied with the second. -class candidates.
As he is only attending the High &lima
and taking up special work, he didnot
compete in the examinations with the
seciaid-class teachers, and so should not
have ranked with them.—The School
has received from Mr. Miller, late In-
spector for South Huron, a collection of
minerals, for which he has the thanks of
the School Board and teachers of the
'school.
HORSES SMASHED.—Mr. T. J. Dick
son, of the firm of Dickson •& McMann,
horse dealers Of this town, had a sorae-
what unpleasant experience on the oc-
casion of his laSt trip to Lancaster, Penn
aylvania. He had with him a car load
of very fine young heavy draught horses,
sixteen in number, and. While on the
Lehigh Valley railway, about 125 miles
from Lancaster, the train was thrown
from the track by a broken axle, and the
cars containing the horses rolled over a
high embankment. Four of Mr. Dick -
son's horses were killed out -right, and all
of them more or less seriously injured.
Mr. Polley of Goderich, also had a car
load of horses on the same train, and
they shared a similar fate, three of them
being killed. The railway company
took possession of all the animals, and
will,ef course, make good the losses to
the owners. Mr. Dickson was on the
train at the time, but the car in Which
he was did not leave the rails, ahd of
course he was uninjured. He at once
returned home for more, and left again
on Thursday for the same place with an-
other car load. We ,hope he will be
more successful with these. This is the
first mishap Messrs. Dickson & McMann
have had since they commenced shipping
to the States.

James A. Wilson, agent for -the well and favor-
ably known Watson Manufacturing Company of
years presented him with a,n address and b
a pair of beautiful napkin rings, also a t
cahinet photograph of the members of the t
class. On behalf of the class the address
was read by Miss Bertha Ball, and the
presentation made by Miss May Kerr.
The address was asking Mr. Hartry to
awe t the present with their love -
thanking'him for his efforts while nA
amongst them, and asking him to pray
for them. He replied in a very suitable
-- and touching manner, thanking them for a
the present, and praying that God would tb
keep him faithful that he might meet n
them all—not one but all in heaven.

As OTHERS SEE Use --The Mitchell
Recorder of last week says: "Professor
Valiance, a celebrated elocutionist, of
Glasgow University, gave a series. of
readings- in Seaforth .last Thursday
tight, under the auspices ofthe
lgechanies" Institute. Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Thompson, Dr. Wood and Mr..
*. A. Hodge, of this town' : were present.
They report that the entertainment was
an exceedingly good one, and they won-
der that the people of Seaforth don't ap-
preciate a. good thing better and turn
cut in respectable numbers to hear an
elocutionist, admitted by all to be in the
iret rank. Only some 120 were present,
which is a long way behind what Mit-
chell would do on such an occasion." In
lustice to our townspeople, and as no
doubt accounting in some measure for
the small 'attendance on the occasion re-
ferred to, we may say that there were
two other meetings in town on thesame
tight, and in addition to this we have
had almost a surfeit of entertainments
of one kind or another since January,
and it ie impossible fbr people, no mattet
how willing or anxious they may be to
get the benefit of all that is going, to
attend entertainments every night in
the. week. - Even if the flesh and spirit
were willing the pocket won't permit it.
We presume it is so seldom our Mitchell
neighbors have a chance' for ae night's
tutting that they can not only afford to
attend the few good entertainments they
have in their own . town, but they can
also spare an evening occasionally for
their neighbors. We are always glad ,to
toe them, however, and hope they may
evme often.
THE SOUTH HURON FARMERS' INSTI-
TUTE.—The second meeting under the
auspiees of the South Huron Farmers'
institute was held in Fanson's hall, Exe-
ter, on Tuesday last. The attendance
4 farmers, despite the cold, stormy
weather and bad roads was very fair,
said would doubtless haVe been large
solder more favorable circuinstances.
feller respects the meeting was a suc-
cess and was interesting, and could, not
fail to be profitable to those who took
part in it. Excellent papers were read
an different subjects be; Mr. Shaw, edi-
tor of the Live Stock Journal, Hamilton,
and local agriculturists. The discus -
*ions on each of these 'papers were well
4istained, animating and interesting.
The meeting opened about ten o'clock in
the forenoon and continued with un-
abated interest until late in the evening.
e have prepared a lengthy report of
e proceedings, together with a digest
of the several papers read, but on ac-
count of a press of other matter, which
mune in earlier and which cannot be de-
ferred, we are forced to leave our report
ef the Institute proceedings until next
week. It will lose nothing in interest,
however, by the delay., as the subjects
treated are always timely. These In-
stitates are doing a good work and we
would Like to see them become more
leo-pular than they are. They should be
tench more lamely attended by farmers
whose interest they are gotten up,
and we have no doubt but they will be
when the benefits they confer become
more generally and widely known,
Those in this county who fiave taken
the lead, should persevere, and they will
gee that year after year the interest will
increase tietil they become a mighty
power for good. .

THE REFORM CLUB.—The meeting of
the McKillop Reforrn Club, held in this
lace on Monday evening last, was one
ebate on the subject, " Resolved, that
f the most successful we have had, the
1ohe Mechanic has beea of More Benefit.,/
Society than the Statesman," was
ell discussed, the chairman giving his
ecision in favor' of the affirmative.
he club has noW been in operation
hree years, and in looking back over
that period the Members have every
eason to congratub te themselves on its
tccess, and althongh a strictly Reform
society more attention has been paid to
subjects of a literary character than- to
purely party politics; and the benefits
derived from these in.eetings have not
been confined to the members only, but
have been thorou4hly appreciated by
the people of the i neighborhood, Con-
servatives as well las_ Reformers, many
of the former taking part in the debates; '
and I think if a few more of these so-
cieties were formed throughout the
c untry it would be a henefit to both
rties. The next meeting being the
osiug one of the Year, it was resolved
have a literary and musical'entertain-
mit, to be held on Friday • evening,
N arch 12th, at which addresses, reed-

Feleve Aeoteeee.—A melancholy and
fatal accident occurred on the Parr Line,
Stanley, oneTuesday evening last. Mr.
James Westlake, a young man about 26
years of age, who was engaged with Mr.
Alex. MeBeath, was ret rning from
r
Kalbfleisch's saw mill in Hay with a
load of lumber, and when nearly oppo-
site the residence of Mr. Francis Cole-
man, on the Parr Line, the i load upset,
and, falling on him, killd him. He
was first discovered about 7 o'clock by
Mr. Coleman, who was returning home.
He was then lying in the snow and his
lower extremities were feet under the
load. The horses were held fast by the
load a,nd. were unable to move it off him.
When folund life was extinct. As no
person saw the accident it is not known
exactly how it occurred, but it is sup-
posed that fearing the load would upset,
he got off and braced himself against it,
and the sleigh going over in spite. of his
,efforts the load, which was only about
three feet high from the sleigh, fell on
him. It is snpposed about an hour had
elapsed from the time the accident oc-
curred until he was discovered. • He had
been working with Mr. McBeath for
some years, and was a steady and ex-
emplary young man and was much
thought of by all who knew him.
ACCIDENT.—john Reid, a young man
living near Varna, met with a painful
accident on the 14th ult., which occur-
red as follows.: On the day previous
some pork had been taken out of a

cellar to dry. On Sunday some cats got
into the cellar • and got at the meat,

to drive the cats out. In throwing a
small iron poker ,at the cats as they
were running up the stairs -out of the
cellar, the poker hit John Reid on the
back of the head as he was in the act of
going out of the backdoor to the barn.
The back door being opposite the cellar
door. The wound was a serious one
penetrating the brain. His condition
has been critical. Dr. Nichol, of Bay-
field, and Dr. Gunn, of Brucefield, have
been attending him. At present his
condition Is much improved, and it is to
be hoped he will .be around again in a
reasonable time. This is a correct state-
ment of the affair as it occurred. Will
you kindly give it a place in your paper
in the interests of the friends, who
have the sympathy of the people in their
trouble. As some reports were getting
around which were incorrect, I th ought
it only right that a correct statement
should be made. By so doing you will
much oblige. Yours truly,
Di A. Nrcnion.

nothing short of an enthusiast over po-
litical and temperance Matters. He
considered himself a candidate for the
next Parliamentary election and the
greatest Canadian Pacific contractor,
thus favoring the residents of this lo-
cality with great displays of . eloquence
on his canvassing tour. Ile tried to en-
gage the hall in which to deliver a lec-

away just in time to insure his safety.

RESOLUTION OF CONFIDENCE. — The
following resolution wee adopted at a
recent meeting of the Howick Reform
Association: To Thomas Gibson, M. P.
P.—DEAR SIR,—It is with pleasure on
this occasion that we tender to you our
hearty thanks for the able'eumner in
which you have discussed ehe political
questions of the day, but more particu-
larly are we imbued with gratitude in
viewing your long and successful career
as a politician, and your untiring zeal
inthe discharge of your duty to your
constituents and the Province to which
you belong, but while enjoying the local
benefits derived from your earnest efforts
we would not overlook the more impor-
tant events transpiring in •the political
arena, namely, our Provincial autonomy.
Sir, your, unswerving loyalty to our
Province, and, support rendered to Mr.
Mowat in defence of Provincial rights,
endears you to all true, liberal Refor-
mers, and also to many of those who
differ from us in politics. As long as
you resist the disintegration' of our Pro-
vince, and the, confiscation of our Pro-v-in-
cial wealth by the Federal Goverement,
and attend to minor duties, so long sir,
are we convinced that you will hold a
foremost place in the esteem and confi-
dence of the electors of East Huron,
We sir, congratulate you on having a
chieftain that has brought those vexed
questions to a successful issue, and by
the decision of the highest court in the
realm, has acquired for himself the repu-
tation of being the first constitutional
authority in the Dominion, a reputation
of which the people of this Province are
justly proud. Signed on behalf of the
Howick Reform Association, and resolv-
ed that a copy of the sarr e be sent -to the
HURON EXPOSITOR for publication.

Chairman Western Division, Howick.

GRANGE SUPPER. -011 Wednesday
evening of last week the members of
Hullett Grange held their anniversary
services in Bell's Hall, Londesboro. The
large room was jam full of that intelli-
gent class of farmers and their wives
that have given the township its envi-
able reputation, and abundant provision
for the inner wants had been prepared
by the fairer portion of the large audi-
ence. Mr. John Cuming was called to
the chair, a position he always fills with
credit and satisfaction. The programme
was a long one; but was nevertheless
very interesting to the end, and we only
regret that our space will not permit us
to do more than make brief mention of
the several speakers, who were Mr.
Hood, sf Sunshine; Mr. John McMil-
lan, Reeve of Hullett, and Mr. John
Rudd, of Goderich township, all of
whom gave excellent addresses, the first
and last named referring more generally
to the Grange order and its work, and
Mr. McMillan speaking more particular-
ly about agricultural progress and what
was necessary to attain such. In each
address there was much that was in-
structive, and the large audience appear-
ed well pleased with the several ad-
dresses. A few remarks were also made
by R. Holmes. Music was furnished by
Mr. John Tamblyn and others-, the
Misses Sprung, L. Shane and Mr.
Floody, Mr. and Miss Askwith, Messrs.
Geo. Oakes, Lu Smith and Mr. Harland,
of Clinton, whose- singing was greatly
admired, and Miss Hiles. A Doherty
organ was loaned for the occasion.
Recitetiens were given by Miss Gray,
Miss Hiles, Dr. Young, and a reading
by Miss Shobbrook. The social was
certainly the most pleasing and success-
ful of any of the several ones held under
the auspices of Hullett Grange, and the
officers of this flourishing institution are
to be congratulated upon the result of
their labors. This social has become s,
permanent feature of this particular
Grange, and by bringing people more
closely together, has a tendency to estab-*
lish more intimate and pleasant relations
between these
