1.06AL HAPPENINGS.—The weather
continues open and the roads 'good.—
We learn that the Clinton. Glee Club,
under the able leadership of G. F.
Oakes, Esq., will give an entertain-
ment in the Fansville Methodist church
on Tuesday evening November 29. We
might say that the Glee Club gave
great satisfaction when here, and we
have no doubt a large number -- will
avail themselves of the chance of
hearing them at Fansville.—Mr.. Gib-
son, of Galt, was in the village recently,
visiting his neice Mrs. Wm. Muir.—
We are pleased to see that Mr. Wm.
Buchanan, J. P., of the township of Hay,
has so far recovered from his late illness
.as to permit of his going around- again-.
—Carmel Presbyterian church ',pulpit
will be preached vacant by the Rev. Mr.
Fletcher, of Thames Road, on the 4th
Sabbath in December, viz., the 25th,
and not on the 4th of December as men-
tioned in a former issue of run EX_POSI-
TOR.—A very pleasant and interesting
union service was held here on Thurs-
day, the 17th inst., in Carmel Presby-
terian church, conducted by all of the
resident ministers. The -Rev. 0. H.
Bridgeman, of St. Paul's church, deliv-
ered a very fine and appropriate sermon.
The attendance was good.—Miss R.
Evans and Miss N. Walker, of Clinton,
were here this week spending a few days
with friends.—Mr. J. A. Mitchell has
purchased the dwelling house recently
owned and occupied by Mr. A. Childs.
—Mrs. T. McLean, of Goderich, was in
the village this week visiting friends.—
The Messrs. Roedding Broshave this
week moved their shop to the Centen-
• nial Block opposite the station.
HAPPY EYENT.—On Thursday, the
rOth inst., another of those interesting
events for which HensalI and surround-
ing country is noted or famous, took
place at the residence of Mr. Robert
McLaren, sr, of the township of Tucker -
smith, on which occasion Mr. D.
Taylor, of the township of Hay, was
united in the bonds of matrimony to
Miss Amelia McLaren, youngest daugh-
ter of Robert McLaren, Esq. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
R.. Y. Thomson, of Carmel Presby-
terian church, and was witnessed by a
number of the relatives and friends of
the contracting parties. Mr.Taylor was
for many years, and up to the time of
his marriage, a member of the Presby-
terianchoir, and Miss McLaren a
teacher in the Sabbath school an a
member also of the same choir. They
will both be much missed by the congre-
gation, but in this case their individual
interests, as Mr. Taylor would doubtless
say, are rightly paramount to those of
church and state, and we unite with
their many friends in wishing them much
happiness and prosperity in their new
home..

GOOD COLTs.—A few days ago Mr.
James Ross, of the London Road, near
this place weighed his prize colt and it
brought down the scales at 860 lbs. It
was just six months old the day it was
weighed, and has gained on an average
1 lbs. per day since it was born. If it
keeps on at this rate until it is three
years old, it will equal Barnum's famous
Jumbo in proportions. Mr. Woodley,
also of this place, has a very fine colt of
about the same age which weighed 850
lbe. This colt carried off the honors at
the London exhibition last fall, and
both colts have taken first prizes where -
ever shown. Mr. Woodley's colt is a
mare and Mr. Ross' a horse.
WEDDIICG BELLs. — Our esteemed
young tewiasnia.n, James Swan, Esq.,
was united in matrimony on. Wednesday
last to our equally esteemed young
townslady, • Miss Janet Beaty. The
happy event took place at the residence
of the bride's uncle, Wm. Scott, Esq.,
merchant, in the presence of a large
company of relatives and friends. The
bridesmaid was Miss Agnes Beaty, of
Watford, and the groomsman John
Murdock, Esq., of Brucefield. The
bride's costume was cream nun's veiling
richly trimmed with satin and lace.
After a sumptuous and truly wedding
dinner the happy couple and guests, with
the officiating minister, Rev. J. H.
Simpson, drove to the depot amidst the
ringing of bells and salvo of ordnances ;
there Mr. and Mrs. Swan took the
train for Detroit, followed by the best
wishes of their many friends and amidst
a good shower af rice.

I like to see a fellow trying -
Hard to make his way in life;
I like to see him bravely plying -
Ail his forces in his strife.
Straight ahead and never straying,
All his strength his purpose in,
Then I cheer him onwards saying,
Strike for all you're worth and win.
Courage, comrade, keep her going,
Keep the Mill arolling on;
Whether hostile winds are blowing,
Darkness must give way to dawn.
Never mind the adverse hooting,
Throw your spunky challenge in,
Hold your ground and keep her scooting,
Strike for all you're worth and win.
Whoop her up and never falter,
Never turn you from the strife,
Burn your offerings on the altar
Of a true and blameless life.
Keep your head my comrade, level,
Now's the time to try, begin!
Fearing neither man nor devil,
Strike for all you're worth and in,
To the above spirited advice we would.
