HURON P4SBYTERY.—The Presbytery
of Huron met in Willis church, Clinton,
on the 6th i 6t. The session records for
l
the past yea were etarained and attest-
-ed. The rep ort of the committee ap-
pointed at last meeting to draft a reso-
lution in accordance with the Presby-
tery's decision against the remit on the
marriage questidn, was adopted. The
report of the committee on the state of
religion, based upon reports -sent in
from the sessions, was on the whole en-
couraging. The Presbytery recommend-
ed special services, under the oversight
of tae sessions, as a means of awakening
interest, and promoting vital religion.
Thereport of the committee on temper-
ance, also based upon reports from ses-
sions, stated that in most localities the,
Scott A-ct was not properly enforced,
and that, great injury resulted to the
cause. The Presbytery deplored the
unsatisfactory administration of the Act,
and asked the people under its jurisclic-
tion to assist in its proper enforcement,
and to discountenance all efforts looking
towards( repeal. The following commis-
sioners were appeinted to the next gen-
eral assembly: Messrs. Musgrave, Mc-
Lean, Ure and Acheson, ministers; and

THE LATE Mn. BROADFOOT.—The an-
nouncernent was made on Friday morn-
ing last that Mr. Alex. Broadfoot,
of Tuckersmith, had, on the previous
evening departed this life. Although
this annotincement was notaltogether
unexpected, Mr. Broadfoot having been
seriously ill for some days, it was re-
ceived by all with feelings of the pro-
foundest regret. Mr. )3roadfoot caught •
a severe cold on election day, which set -
tied. on his lungs, resulting in inflamma-
tion and pleurisy, and which soon
brought low as otice strong constitution-.
Mr. Broadfoot had 'reached the great age
of 87 years, and was e smartaactive
man, and able to attend to his _business
until his illness. Hehad been possessed
of an unusually robust constitution, and
he used to say that although he had
done as much hard work as ,any man in
Tuckersmith, he had never been con-
fined to his house through illness for
even one 'day. He emigrated to this
country from Scotland in 1833, and
took up and settled on the, farm on
which he continued to live until the
time of hit death. tie was one of the
first settlers in Tucaerimith south of
the Huron Road, and consequently he
endured 0,11 the hardships and pri-
vations as well as enjoyed the triumphs
of pioneer life.' Nothing delighted him
more than to recount the exploits
of the early settlers of the township and
he always maintained that the happiest
period of his life was when cleaning up
his farm.. .As an incident of the times
he was wont --to relate his experience
on the occasion of one visit to Goderich,
which was then the ,only market town
for this district. He went to Goderich
with two ;yokes of oxen and two loads
of wheat and desired to get a aarrel of
salt and is fed- pounds of sugar, but he
could not 'sell the wheat and the mer-
chants of that day refused to give salt or
sugar in 'exchange for wheat and Mr.
Broadfoot had to take his wheat home
again and borrowed money enough from
Mr. Dark, who then kept hotel there, to
buy the telt and he went without the
sugar. Ian Broadfoot was the very
soul of honor and few men enjoyed more
fully the eonfidence.and esteem of their
fellow men. He was a member of the
Presbyterian church and an enthusiastic
Liberal in politics. He was twice
married, his first wife being a sister of
Mr. James Carnochan, of Tuckersmith,
and bis second wife, who survives him,
a daughter of theilate Robert McMillan
of hlullet.' He leaves a large family
grown. tip stens mod daughters, all o

were laterite& in the Harpurhey cemetery,

SABBATH SCHOOL ENTETAINMENT .—
The Sabbath School entertainment, held
in Duff's church on Tuesday'evening,
proved very successful and- reflected
credit on those assisting in carrying out
the programme, as well as on all inter-
ested in the undertaking, it being the
first of the kind ever held in this church.
The evening was beautiful:and the roads
were good. The cburch was well filled,
and the pleasant words and happy
countenances told that all were enjoying
themselves. At seven o'elock refresh-
ments were served until even the most
epicurean must I have said enough.
After order had been restored the chair
was taken by Rev. Mr. Ballantyne, and
the following programme,fulfilled to the
delight of the waiting audience : Sing-
ing by the choir, "Oh, we are the
reapers ;" a brief address by the super-
intendent; singing by Flora Campbell;
recitations by Frankie Neil' 0,nd Kate
Sellars; singing by the choir; an inter-
esting address to Sabbath Scheel teach-
ers by the chairman; singing by a group
of scholars; iecitations by Hateie Sabine
. and Willie Neil; anthem by the choir;
address to the children by Rev. Mr.
Jamieson, in his usual pleasieg and il-
lustrative manner; singing by ItIr. Mc-
. Dougall's family. ; recitations by Henry
Campbell and Georgina Smith. A vote
of thanks was tendered by Mr. Watson
to speakers, singers, reciters, &c, after
which the choir sang a parting hymn,
and Mr. Jamiesmi closed with prayer,
and all parted feeling that sueh happy,
interesting gatherings were Well calcu-

BRIEFs.—On Thursday of last week -
Mr. Henry Bone, of the 3rd concession,
had a sale to dispose of some of hie
stock.—Some farmers axe complaining
that feed is getting scarce, and are try
ing to reduce their stock accordingly.—
The big sleet storm that did so much
harm to the trees around Clinton and
Seaforth about four weeks ago, did itee
no harm in this township.—During the ,
late storm a young man from the town- s
ship of Grey paid our township a visit
for the purpose of seeing his lady love,
and found the side roads so completely
blocked that he could not get through;
but nothing daunted, he -took to the
woods with his hdrse and cutter, and
after a great deal of difficulty reached
his destination. When a young fellow'
starts to see his girl it appears to take a;
great deal to stop him.—About two
weeks ago a very pleasant evening wal
spent at Mr. James Atkins' on the 4th
line. A sleigh load of young people
came from T3russels, and after waiting
until the stria' hours returned to that -
town again. We did not learn host
many times they upset on the way, but
they had a jolly time.—Some of the
side roads have been blocked up entirely
with the deep snow drifts. A few day'
ago a man tried to go from the 3rd te
the and concession. , The road not haie
ing been broken, he got his hem down,
and unhitched him to let him get oute .
As soon as the animal got his feet off
terra firma he galloped off home, leav-
ing the man to manage his cutter as best
he could. This will give your readexe
