ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—The anni- versary services in connection with the Methodist church in this town were held on Sa,bbath last. The Rev. Mr. Turk, of poderi eh, preachedtwo able and earnest discourses to good congre- gations. The evening sermon was a particularly good one. The singing on the eccasion was also good. This year the Methodist friends did not hold any anniversary tea meeting but made special collections at the,Sunday services and the call was remarkably well: re- sponded to, the collections amounting to tie very creditable sum of $308.07: This would have been a good collection far a congregation twice the size. w A DesereEROCS PR.ACTICE. —One• day last week as the school children came out a school a number got on a sleigh to have a ride, and when they had gone as far as they wished, one of the boys, in getting off the sleigh, fell, and before he could get out of the way a team that was just behind went over him. The farmer managed his team very dexter- ously, and stopped his team jut as the sleigh carne up to the boy, and when he was lifted out, strange as it nsay seem, he said he was not hurt. We hope this may be a lesson to him, and also to other children, not to be getting on or off sleighs in motion. Had this man been looking in some ether direction, and not watching his horses'there is haveno doubt but the boy would ave been killed. Parents and teachers should warn children of the danger. Thereere so many accidents happening to little boys and girls in this way that it would be a good plan to pat a few of the trans- gressors into the lock -ups' AN INTERESTING LECTURE. —The lec- ture en the -Norway Howe and Nelson river Missions, delivered in. the Metho- dist church On -Thursday evening of last week by the -Rev. E. R. Young, was well attended, the church. without being invented was wen filled. The lecture proved exceedingly interesting . and entertaining and was interspersedwith inany humorous descriptions and laugh- able incidents concerning the manners, ways et living, and other -particulars eormeeted with the Lidians of that , northern - Wilderness on the shore of 1, Hudson's Bay,. where Mr.. Youngand his ! wifespentsome nine or ten ,years'being the only white people with -hers ratlins of 500s miles. Me. Yung was the - first ; enissionery sent • out to proclaim the "s Gospel in that district and • .endured erusoy hardships and privations - during his residence in that cold region, but in his work of teaching he was eminently auceessfal in introducing the, light and etruth of ehristianity where pagan dark- ness before, reigned supreme. TOWN COUNCIL. —At a meeting of the Town Council,: held on Monday evening, the comaiittee appointed to- confer with Mr. Holmested in reference to the town clock, reported, recommending that he paid the sum of $60 per year for the use- of the town clock, and the report was ad -opted. The appointment of Mr. George A. Silis, as Chief- of the Fire Brigade, was confirmed.. It was also de- cided to procure six suits of water proof clothing for the branchmen of the Fire Brigade, and also- such an extension lad- der as may be required. A committee consisting of the Reeve and Councillors T. W. Duncan and Smith; was appoint- ed to Confer with .. the Fire dirigade in reference to providing a new fire hell , and hose tower, and reportat next meet• ing of Council. A' grant of $100 was given to aid the Sea -forth band.- A communication from Judge Doyle, com- plaining of the Town Hall as an unsuit- able place in which -to hold the sittings of the Divisiou Court, was referred to the Finance.Committee, to be reported on at the next meeting.. The stem of $12 wite ordered to be:paid:to M. Robertson for funeral expenses of one F. Marshall, •. an indigent person., and $25 was granted to M. Shea, for keeping ethe said Mar- shall. After passing a number of ac- • counts, the Connell adjourned for two .weeks. LIFE INsURANCE.—To those desiring life insurance we would say that efore -insuring with any other they would do well to study the terms offered by the North American ;Life Insurance Corn- pa,ey, whose full report will appear in next week's issue Cif THE EXPOSITOR. This Company has done more business than any other Company of the same .age in Canada.. It is under the manage- ment of a thoroughtly reliable Board of Directors of whom Hon. Alex. Mac- kenzie is President, and is being thoroughly established:by the appoint- ment of District Agents in all parts of -Canada, who in turn are authorized to _appoint reliable Local Agents, so that the collections may be tnore convenient- ly made. This district is under_ the inenagement of Mr. D. M. .Radcliff, of this town, who is always .ready and willing to give any information in re- gard to the Company, as also any of the fo 1jowing Local Agents appoirsted so far: Jas. Watson, Seaferth ; W. L. Siuitnette, Londeshoro ; A. P. McDonald but when a solicitor resorts ,to such un- profeshional tricks to bring his name be- fore the public he should be shown up in his ;proper light. In the first place he says that Kemp succeeded in the action at Golderich. This is euntrue, because judgment wee entered for the plaintiff, Wilson, for performance of contract sued on, but the costs, were given to Kemp if he paid the purchase money within two months. In the second place he deliberately misrepresents by saying that Wilson appealed the case to Toronto and was beaten there. The facts are these: Kernp was to pay his purchase money on sir before November 24th last. He gave the money to his Solicitor to pay. The soliciter adinitted that he had the money to pay but did not pay it. • Re wile threatened by his client, Kemp, with an action for damages for neglect of duty and to escape from the difficulty he preseuted an humble petition to the Court in loronto asking to have the time foiJ. payment extended. This is how the matter came to be brought before the genet in Toronto and the time for payment was extended for two weeks but Mr. Best' had to pay the costs of the petition amounting to some $75, Which I have no doubt he will try and make his client pay if he can. Now, Mr. Editor, if Mr. Best is to be compli- mented very highly for the "able man- ner" in which he conducted this case I will allow the public to judge.—ONE WHO KNOWS THE FACTS.

He will also give experiments in the science he calls Physib- Eleetro-Psychology, in the way of illustrating its truth and undoubted reality. By it he professes to be able to perform the most startling experi- ments upon persons fully awake, and in perfect possession of all their faculties. Controlling their nio4ons ; standing up they find it impossi- ble to sit down; if in a sitting posture, they are unable to rise till the,operator allows them to do so. He claims to, have ithe power to take away the power of hearing, speech, sight, and the memory, whenever I he pleases, and to return these faculties again instantly; that he can change the personal identity of certain indivi- duals, making then) imagine for the time being that they are persons of color, that they belong to the opposite stx, or that they are some re- nowned genera, orator, statesman, or what -not. He changes the appearance and taste of water in tm rapid successio i to that of leenade, vinegar, ruolassee, wormv ood, coffee, milk and brandy; the latter producing all tee intoxicating effects of -alcphol. He brings before his subjeets the threatening thunder -cloud;;. they see the light- eing's flash, and hear thethunder's roll; the storm bursts over their heads, aud they flee to a place of shelter, under a table, beuch, or any- thing that offers protection. All this is done while the ipdiViduals experimented upon are in possession Of !their reasoning faculties.

A good many went to various parts' in, East and West Huron to record t+irl votes for their favorite candidates, The politicians who were left behind busied themselves in hrinting up voters here. Both parties seemed to put forth every exertion in favor of their favorite isandidate, ! but both candidates' being ' of the game politicalsstnipe, and every person feeling confident that Mr.' Mc Niillan's election by a large majority was _certain, there was not so much interest manifested in the resat as if each political party had been represented, and the final result was doubtful. However, there was a good vote polled, and nearly all were in before S o'hiock. Dr. Campbell re- ceived tke belk of the Conservative vote isnd a few Reformei s. As will be seen by the figures, he, i this way, scored a good majority in , Own, although it is much smaller than as clahned for him by his friends and t bout 20 more than his opponents eepe ted. On Tuesday e there were 393 votespolled, while at the Bishop-Swinerton ection there were 364, or 29 less. This shows that they had been pretty Well drummedup on • both fades.

' Kirkton.„ , , DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On the night of the 18th inst., the Kirkton flouring mills were destroyed by fire, this being the second time in a ittle over two years. The fire is supp sed to be the work of, an incendiary. The wind was blowing strongly from the north east,' carrying sparks and burning shingles into the barn yard of Mr. John Hazel- wood, greatly endangesing his build- ings. Apparently Satan has the upper hand of some indvidual in the neighbor- hood, as report says that warnings were received when the mill was rebuilt, that it would be destroyed again. It is to be hoped that the perpetrators of such an act *ill be found outs and the judg- ment they so richly deserve be meted out to them,. The property was insured for $5,000. . ' Grey.

Tuesday following she was taken severely ill with an attack of congestion of the lungs, which termin- ated in death as above stated. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. Thomas Cornish, and was highly esteemed by all who had formed her acquaintance. The husband and family of small children have -91e sympathy of the community. !

Doig, teacher of School Section No. 10, aid his pupils. The game was keenly con- tested for some time, but it soon be- came apparent that the boys of School Section No. 2 were no match for the boys of No. 10. The result was a com- plete whitewash by a score of 6 to 0 in favor of No. 10. The boys of No. 2 hope to do better next time. _ HORSE NOTES. --Mr. G. T. McKay sold an entire colt, rising three years old, to Mr. D. Donovan. This colt is said by competent judges to be the best colt that has ever been raised in the township.—Mr. J. McGregor also sold an imported Clydesdale stallion and two three year old geldings and Mr. Donald McKinnon sold a fine horse for $255 to Mr. White, of Rodgerville.

Board, the members, together With the In- spector, examined, certain sites upon which to erect the proposed new school buildings.

The plans for the new buildings submit- ted by Mr. S. 'Wallace were adopted. The Board adjourned to meet again on Saturday 26th inst., but this meeting has been further adjourned until the call of the chairman, in order that the decision of the Minister of Education may be obtained as to whether or not a vote of the ratepayers is necessary to confirm the selection of the new ';sites. THE LATE ELLA follow- ing lines on the death of the late Ella Robb, daughter of Wm. Robb, Esq., of which mentio-n was made last week, were written by a former fellow pupil and were addressed to the fandlY of the deceased. We publish them a.t.-the re- quest of. the friends. They are a touch- ing tribute to the memory of erre who was so dearly beloved by all who knew her:j She ourneyed here, the joy of friends, Who have now beheld her battle won And now perceive her lustrous ends, I And shining footprints in the race she [has run. In spring of life, when budding forth, This earth refused to yield of nurture Sufficient to nourish her growing soul, Which with her God did walk secure. T was Heaven, e'er with a watchful eye, That quirk beheld this Matured flower.; And then, with fleetest steps drew nigh, And stooping, gently plucked the flower. - Only in Heaven ! in bternal day, Such vigorous growth can lire; For there alone in brightest -ray, - The saints of God their praises'give. - When shadows of death were gathering ,near, And sorrowing friends stood by, With faith supreme she boldly said— Weep not for me ; I am going home." Ah! now in Heaven, midst odors sweet, And blending her voice with angel's songs, She mingles with spirits for this made meet, , And praises the Lamb eternally.

DEAR Earosiaon2—A Scott Act . case Was commenced shortly after the New Year, against two Of the hotel keepers in 6-'orrie, and. it is perfectly clear that there was a consciousness of guilt, inas- much as though there were three or four attempts made at a trial, the cases; never came to a trial on [their merits. ! Wit- nesses did not aptelar when summoned, and were in hiding for weeks, but not 12 miles from the judgment seat, and a dangerous one was assisted away ;to the land of theEast. At the last feeble ef- fort a witness in court flung the Good, Book down on the table, and the magis- trates had not self respect enough to commit the insolent young man for con- tempt as they ought to have done_ It is clear there has been an abject_ failure in the conduct both of the magis- trates and _constables, to put it mildly. There is not the shadow of a doubt but that on the 128thof! December the Elec. tion Law as well. as the Scott Apt was broken, and also on the evening of the Moriday following, If the Reformers of East Huron do their duty they ought to - see what can be done to, have, if net the Scott Act observed, the Jaw of the land vindicated, and the law of decency and fair play also.. The loud -mouthed pro- fessors of loyalty are always loyal to themselves, espeeially at election times. In the true elements of loyalty, obedi- ence to law and order, many of them are sadly deficient. It would be doing a service to themselves as well as to the community to teach them a lesson, Loven oe JUSTICE.
