Some of these cernmunications are in fav -or of one can- didate and scene in favor of the other. As we have not room for them all, and as it would not be profitable to ,publiSh there even if we had, we select two from the number and give them as represent- ing the others. SHOW MATTERS.—At a meeting of the Directors of the South Huron Agricul- tural Society, held at Kippen on Tues- day, it was deeided to hold the annual Spring Show at Brucefield, on Wednes- day, April 20th. Other societies should take notice and govern themselves ac- cordingly. It was also decided- to hold the fall show at Exeter in amalgamation with the Stephen and. Usborne Brands, lout the date has not yet been fixed. The. East Riding Society have arranged to hold their Spring Show at Brussels on Friday, April 15th, and the fall show on L the 6th and 7th of October. Huai School. NOTES.—The school opened this year with 110 students; the ltamber on the roll is now 137, andwill receive several additions before the close of the month. The plans for the new wing to the building have been submit- ted—to the Minister of Education, and approved. The Trustee a are advertis- ing for tenders, and the warlaewill, no doubt, be pushed on rapidly. Some efforts are being made to bring the lib- rhry and the laboratory up to first-class standard. Several pieces sef apparatus have been. added, and more are under construction. When the new extension is finished the students will- have a fine gymnasium, with a 20 -foot ceiling, which wilL be a great boon during the winter months. It is intended that the equipment shall be complete, -and, that the new Collegiate Institute shall start fully prepared to hold the leading place already gained during its career as a High School. -ANNIVERsA SERVICES.—Our friends of the Egmandville Presbyterian con- gregation- have not been favored: with propitious weather this year for their anuiversary serviees. The weather on Sunday was very wet and disagreeable and on Monday it was. even more the The Rev, Dr, Beattie, of Brantford, preached -on Sunday to large congrega- tions, both morning and es-el:siege but many more Would .have availed. thefts - selves of the opportunity of listening to him had the weather been fine. He is tei able • preacher and in the evening especiallyeleliaered an exeeilent, practi- cal sermon. .The animal the, meeting 'Wai held .on Monday .evening. The rain peere(l heavily all evening and it. was surprising the numbers that ventured out but there was not the crowd of for-_ mer years. The tea, as usual, was good end the only regret in this connection was that there were not mate present to appreciate it. Addresses were deliver- ed by Rev. Dr. Beattie, Rev. Mr. Mc- Donald and Rev. Mr. Jamieson, and. music by a select choir under the leader. ship of Mr. Kent, the Precentor. Both addresses and music were good; and all who ventured out through the rain and 'slush were well repaid for their trouble. • • SEAFORTH ltneoamens. — A union meeting of the Reiman Association of Seaforth and the Young Liberals' Club was held in tbe Club rooms on Tuesday evening last and was largely attended.

INFORMATION vAN ED.—DEAR. Ex P- OSITOR,—I have wished for a longItime Past that you would give your readers the benefit of yo r nowledge of; the laws of our country in regard to the rights of Her Maje ty subjects travel- ing upon the public higliways of this country. There seem to be a great diversity •of opini n about this matter, and judging from th actions of some people, they seem to Imagine no other persons but themselves have any right to use the highway ati all, -or, at least, if they are permitt cl tui use it,it inua,t be at great personal risk1 and danger to themselves. • They req ire to be con- stantly watching afnd turning out, and in great personal fear of being trampled down and perhaps losing their life. The writer thinks this ought not to he so, as the rights of all J Her Majesty's subjects on the public highway are equal, that is, Ji have a right to use it, and everybody' is expeuljed to protect the rights of every othei1 body. If you would kindly Lefiu thc rights of toav- elhrs on highs 'aye, whether on foo ti or using vehicles, yoa voud confer a list- ing favor on nuiitlYers who at present are imposed lupo.m Likewise if you would define shat is ni ant by " furious driving " on highways you would confer a great benefitan in iny, especially about towns where horses ,seeth, tois some tea - son, to want to gb hster, or else the owners. want to shlhv ff, or something of. that sort. You are aware that we were nearly having a fatal accident some time ago to an old and respected resi- dent of the township of iruckersmith4 the main street Of Seaforth, as the result of immoderate driving on a public thor- oughfare. , Kindly give your.readers the benefit of your judgment in this matter and you will confer 4 great favor, and if you do so as, in d uty boind, I will ever JouN BEATTIE..

M nday's storm was par- ticularly seve e, and many ornamental and fruit tree were broken ;down and more or less i jured. The streets and roads were lit ered with broken limbs, and many orchards have been badly di's- _ membered. The telegraph and telephone wires were bro en in all directiona and considerable lo.s to the companies will be the result. Fortunately there was not a heavy wi d, or if there had been, the claanage wo id be very rnueh greater. On Teesday orning the atmosphere became quite arm and the iceall dis- appeared.

' GOLDEN . W EDDING. —On the 13th of last month we learn of a very happy and rather uncommon event which took place, namely, the - celebration of the golden wedding Of Mr. Wm. Wilson and wife, of Fansville, township of Hay. On this occasion, all the fetidly within reasonable distance : who could attend were present, while those far away sent kindly greetings andi presents suitable to the occasion, and while referring to presents; we might 'say that Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were each given a hand- some pair of gold -rimmed spectacles. Mr. Wilson, who, by the way, is a strpng and hearty man, and who gives good promise, as des also his amiable partner in life, of living to celebrate their diamond wed4liug, is a native of Ellerelee, Scotland, nd when between four and five years f age emigrated to this country, where he first lived in Ramsay township, 4ar Carleton Place, remaining there foe 25 years. From there he moved td Blanshard, in the county of Perth, where he also reeided for about 25 years, ahd from thenee re- moved to his presseet residence in she township of Hay; where he has liveC, for nearly 15 years, enjoYing the respect and esteem of a large air le of friends. Mrs. Wilson is a native o Paisley, Scotland, andsernigrated to thi country when only 12 years of age, an here comes in a rather amusing litt e incident. It ap• pears that shortly after lan when on her way to a relative' her way, and Mr. Wilson, th boy, and the first she net afte chancing to come along, she -with tears in her eyes, if he co her to where she wanted to request, it is needless to say, s ly acceded to.

EnITOR,— I must thank you for the information in last week's papl concerning Mrs. Hen- derson and my elf. I was not aware th t she was in such a dangerous state of ealth. We have been out seine very coil days this winter and she never com- p] ined of her lungs, so I think that fat 1 trouble has not hold of her yet. And it also appears that I 'ism a very rapid' counter, and was only a Ifew weeks at school. Well, I cannot :ouist how many years are in a few weeks, but I was a number of years at school, and I believe that my parents gave me, an edu- cation suited to their circumstanees, and if you were to stedy a little beolt that I have perhaps you would try to forget some of the rules in arithmetic. By in- serting the above you will much oblige, JOHN 8. HENDERSON. - SCHOOL BOARD.—The school beard met on February 5th, at Daly's betel, Eg- mondville. All the members present, Moved by Wm. G.

Politic in. Howick. DEAR EXPOS11TOR. —Mr. Thomas Gib- son has been st unding the key note of il H the election ca spaign in owick, at Lak el e t, Gorki e and Ford wieh. At the latter place he ivas ably assisted by Mr. James Mitchelli It seems to me impos- sible that any elector be he Reform or Conservative, can support such an ex- travagant and meddlesome Government as the Dominion one was shown to be. Mr. Mitchell dwelt particularly upon the endeavours which have been mad, to destroy our Provincial au tonamy,and the extravagant expenditure which has been lavished upon the Canadian Pacific Railway and notwithstanding all the money it has cost it has to do what no other Railwayein the world can, run for ten miles Iwithout either fire or water, but when it ran away it was completely uncontrollable, and this not- withstanding there has been about twice the amount of money expended upon it, that either Sir Charles Tupper or his engineer stated Was respired to build it. Mr. Gibson's exposure of the increased expense connected with Civil Govern- ment and of the money wasted on the White, Stephenson and other printing contracts is almost incredible,. He de- fied any one to contradict him, and no one tried seeing he backed up his atate- ments from the Public Accounts and Auditor -Genera's R4port. After show- ing up the section B contract he finish- ed with a description of the Ottawa at- tacks upon our Provincial Government, nearly all alike walled for and unwar- raute.ble, sayi g the quickest and cheapest way to stop them was Re] the elec ors here and every- where else to vote for the Reform candidates. T14e meeting closed with tee conrentjonat cheers, after which a Tory constable from Gorrie announced to the meeting that some- one had been that day fined 9.50 at that place for libeling Mr. Fa row. It is no libel tst say that Mr. Farrow voted for the McCarthy act which allowed three hours liquor selling on Sunda.y, this being one of the principal reasons for its being brought in and Which had been refused not long before 1.)y Mr. Mowat. If the 'G'orrie Tories can Only exercise their patience, Dr. Macdonald will prove to a demonstration that Mr. Farrow support- ed the McCarthy act in all its stages. - However, if it is true that the Tory Magistrates did as their constable says they did, they exceeded their jurisdic- tion as they hare nothing to do with. libel, only to ccemnit for trial in case it was criminal. There has been a Scott Act case dragging its long, slew length along, like many another law case, for several weeks in Gorrie, being ad- journed from time to time beeause the witnesses don't appear. Same of them after being summoned, others taking their flight in the middle of the night, seemingly th avoid service. If one half the alertness had been shown in the one casethat was shown in the other where the unfortunate Grit had to pay the piper, many think there might have been either a dismissal or conviction be- fore now,—A LOOKER O.
