THE HURON EXPOSITOR..
Gorrie.
LEFT TOWN. -Mr. Downing, who
.came to Gorrie from Goderich a short
time ago andengaged in the boot and
•shoe business, left for Brussels on Tues-
day.. -Mr. Hoopfer, who has carried on
,a blacksmith business in the south end
of the village for some time,left very un-
.ceremcnniously late on Saturday night
last or early on Sunday morning, leaving
;behind him a number of sorrowing
.friends. This method of "digging out'''
has become of late years somewhat
popular in our village, and creates near -
as
ar-
as. great a sensation as did the old_
method of entertaining those who were
going to leave at an oyster supper. -Dr.
Brownlee, who practised medicine in our
'village for six years, left for St. Marys
last week. He was well liked' as a doc-
• tor by a large number. His successor is
,a young man from Listowel. It is
rumored that Dr. McKelvie, of Brus-
sels, is coming here to practise his pro
feesion.
RRIEFS.-On Monday night last
Mr. Henry Perkins became ill, and
Dr. Swale, of Wroxeter, was called
in and pronounced the illness inflam-
mation of the bowels. -Mr. J. D. Dick-
son, of McKillop, is visiting his sis-
ter, Mrs. J. B. Campbell. -M r. George
Stinson has returned from Dakota. -
Mr. A. Muir is home from .Kincardine,
where he has been attending the Model
School. -Mr. Wm:, Watters, of Orange
Hill,; is home from Clinton, where he
was attending the Model School. -Mr.
Nugent occupied the pulpit in the Metho-
dist church here, morning and evening,
on Sunday last. He also delivered a
lecture on Monday evening. -Mr. Robin-
son, who is about to leave for Japan as a
missionary, is at present preaching in
the English church, Gorrie.-Mr. Edgar,
a student of Knox College, is visiting
friends in and around Gorrie.- Mr.
Boyd has moved into Dr. Brownlee's
house. -Mr. Jas. McLaughlin has moved
intohis beautiful new house opposite
the English church, and Mrs.. Pollock
has moved into Mr. McLaughlin's old
house.
gige anything like an extended account,
and perhaps it is as well that such is the
case for when • all did their parts
well it - might appear invidious to
particularize. However we might just
here make reference to the addresses
as given by Bro. R. Elliot, High Chief
Ranger of Listowel, and Bro. Tow,
Vice Chief Ranger of London, which
addresses were well chosen and deliver-
ed furnishing an interesting account of
the working of the order from the time
it was first established up to the present
time, backed up by facts and figures
and could not fail to impress the listeners
with the fact of the great and incalcul-
able amount of good the order had
already done and was still design-
ed to do in the future in the way
of educating and elevating its members
both morally and socially and of pro-
viding for the bereaved widows and
families when the fond husband or
father was called away by the ruthless
hand of death. As we have already
stated the concert was a grand success,
the proceeds amounting to over $50,
and the members of Court Ivy Green
may well feel proud and gratified with
the results of this, their first public
entertainrnent,and they would at •the
same time desire to • acknowledge the
kind assistance they received from the
brethren of Listowel, London, Exeter,
and other Lodges:
Morris..
A SUCCESSFUL ExAMINATION.-4 very
enjoyable tune was spent in the school
under the control of Mr. Fenton Hart-
ley. Teachers, scholars and parents
were well represented. At noon upwards
of a hundred visitors sat down to the
good things provided by - the young
ladies.. The register showed sixty-seven
pupils present. Mr.Hartley was assisted
by Miss Laing, of Bluevale, Mr. • Reid,
who once was the teacher in this school
and M. Hartley, brother of the teacher.
After dinner things moved briskly, and
recitations were interspersed with sing-
ing by the pupils, for which they re-
ceived great credit, no more however
than they deserved. After two hours
taken up in this way a number of the
friends gave little bits of advice, min-
gled with praise of what they had seen
and heard. The proceeds were brought
to a close by Mr. Hartley thanking all
the ;teachers who had assisted in the
the examination and the visitors for their
presence, which he said greatly encour-
aged the children. The scholars all
seemed pleased that they had got
through the day so easily, and no doubt
wishing Christmas would come sooner.
A HANDSOME FAREWErL--A very suc-
cessful examination was held in School
Section No, 9, Morris, on Friday last.
The pupils were put through a thorough
examination by the following teachers,
viz : Misses Shortreed and McDougald
and Mr. McCall.,; and they showed by
their ready answers that they have been
thoroughly taught by their teacher, Mr.
Danby. At the close of the examination
several short addresses were given' by
those present, expressing themselves as
as.
well satisfied with the work carried on
in the school, whereupon the pupils pre-
sented their teacher with a very hand-
-some present and a neatly -worded ad-
dress, expressing their esteem for him,
and their sorrow in parting with him.
Mr. Danby has had charge of this school
for the past two years and a half, and
has proved himself to be anenergetic
and worthy teacher. On the evening of
the same day a very interesting enter-
tainment was given under the auspices
of the Sunday school conducted in the
same section. After opening tfie meet
ing by singing and prayer, a lengthy
and entertaining programme was carried
out, to the profit and enjoyment of all.
Those taking part are to be congratu-
lated an the excellent manner' in ;which
they delivered their selections. Rev.
Mr. Ballantyne occupied the chair to the
entire satisfaction of all, and before clos-
ing was granted a very hearty vote of
thanks. The amount taken at the door
exceeded even the moat sanguine hopes
of the committee. The meeting was
closed by singing the National Anthem.

AGAIN ItE EMBEirED.-The home `of
the Rev, Arehibald K. Mustard was the
scene of another surprise a week ago
Friday night. The good people of
Chisethurst appointment presented their
young pastor with a beautiful cutter.
The gift was accompanied by an address
signed on behalf of the people by 'Mrs.
Mitchell and Mrs. Otis. Then the
heavily laden baskets of the ladies were
brought forth, and what with eatables,.
what with music, etc., all spent a pleas-
ant and profitable evening, A couple of
weeks before this event th.e kind people
of Sexsmith appointment generously sent
Mr. Mustard a load of oats. Surely
God will abundantly honor and bless
this people for being so kind and good
to His servant.
ENTERTAINMENT. -On Friday evening
of last week a grand Literary and Musi-
cal Concert,: under the auspices of the
Canadian Order of Foresters of this
place, known as Court Ivy Green, was
held in (Joxworth's Hall, on which
occasion the spacious hall was filled to
its very utmost capacity. Bro. Ross,
D. D. O., of` Exeter, occupied the chair,
discharging his duties in an able and
pleasing manner. The prograrnnie for
the Occasion was an excellent one
'throughout, reflecting great credit on
the committee entrusted with the pro-
viding of the sane. We regret that
space prevents us from giving anything
like a full or complete report of this
grand concert. Apart from this the
programme was an unusually long one,.
requiring over three hours to carry it
out, (although the time was not telt
Owing to the selections being so good,
well -rendered and varied), which alone
would prevent us from attempting to
Zurich.
OUR SCHOOL. -The school examination
on Friday last was a grand success.
The school was packed to its utmost
with visitors and scholars. There were
about 200 visitors and 140 scholars.
The teachers present were Messrs. Geo.
Baird, sr., R. Ross, G. Hart, James
Irwin, T. Grant, W. J. Tough, S.
Hauch and S. J. Latta, also Misses
Rusk, Murray, Sallows and McKenzie,
and H. E. Huston, S. Foster, and bliss
A. Ferguson, ex -teachers. The scholars
in the junior department got through
their examination lessons about noon,
when the many well filled baskets were
emptied of their eatables, which were
passed around by exc-cholars. .,The ek-
arnination lessons in the senior depart-
ment were finished about 2.45 p. m.
The examination on the whole was high-
ly satisfactory, and parents and visitors
could not help but notice that the teach-
ers in both departments have done their
duty. After the examination lessons
were done the visitors were treated to a
splendid concert. The programme,
made up by the scholars, consisted of
readings, recitations, vocal and instru-
mental music. The tnusiaal part of the.
programme was under the management
of Mr. Doan, music teacher, who deserves
great credit, for the way the children
were prepared. The programme was
well rendered and would do credit to
any city school. But, perhapst the most
iintei(esting part of the proceedings was
the reading of an address and the pres-
entation of a well-filled purse to Mr.
Cressweller, and an autograph album to
Mise Schaffer, his assistant. The ad-
dress was signed by Misses E. Steinbach
and W. Well, and wh le it was being
read there were many wet eyes both
among the visitors and scholars, thus
showing. the deep feelings of regret that
pervaded all on account of Mr. Cress-
weller's contemplated retirement from.
the school. He has proven himself not
only an efficient teacher but a most
worthy and useful citizen, and was a
general favorite with all, both old and
young. The proceedings were' brought
to a close by short addresses by Revds,
Messrs. Strernpfer, Ortwein and Hauch,
also by Messrs. Baird, Huston and Latta,
teachers.

- Mitchell Advocate : When driving
to Stratford on Saturday afternoon
in a heavy down -pour of rain,
the writer witnessed a sickening
scene. On the roadside sat a man and a
woman in a beastly state of intoxication,
the woman's right hand grasping the
neck of a large black bottle. Return-'
ing a few hours later the unfortunate
couple were still in the same place, and
when asked to move on, to prevent
freezing, the woman hurled forth a
volley of oaths that almost made our.
hair stand on end. They wereoorly
clad and drenched to the skin. Scenes
of this kind should strengthen the
hands of temperance advocates, espe-
cially when it is known that it was the
" first glass "that brought them down
to such degradation.
