The rest of the evening was pleasantly spent in singing and speeehes. —Oa Wednesday of last week Wm. .S'Insunon, of Elina township, took %grist 0) Milne's mill at Ethel. On his way home he called at John Fisher's, and while away from the team they ran away. Oue of the , horses fell and was dragged over a stump which cut a large gash in such a manner as to allow the entraits to protrude. The animal had to be killed. It will be a serious loss to Mr. Shannon as it is said he refused $150 for it recently. —On Wednesday morning, the 12th ult.. about 8 o'clock, the dwelling of Hugh Porter, 10th concession of Grey, was discovered to be on fire, and although everything possible was done the building was soon in ruins.

In the meantime the family is living in Jno. Hollinger's brick house on the blind line. —Mr. Wm.

Mr. Bishop will be quiie at home on his new property, as there is a large portion of it planted in orchard and mall fruits, and the new proprietor is right at home in that department of husbandry. We are sorry to see him remave from Huron, as he is ono of the oldest residents. —0o. Tuesday evening of last week, there passed over, to the great majority the beloved wife of Mr. John Elliott, at the age of 45 years. Mr. Elliott moved into Winghem about twelve months ago, living a retired life. On Sunday before her death, Mrs. Elliott was in her usual health, and sat up until late in the evening, reading. She had not long retired before being seized with violent pains in her legs and lower partof the body, which soon assumed alarming symptoms, and although medical aid Was at once called in, death ended her suffer- ings on Tuesday evening. —The Goderieh Signal of last week says " A large number of people were it the Grand Trunk Railway station on Monday last to see several young men off on the 1.55 p. m. train. Messrs. Win. Stewart, son of our townsman, Mr. Wm. Stewart, and Jas. Stewart, son of Mr. John Stewart, of Benmiller, left for Chicago; Fred Platt and Wallace Black went to Portland, Oregon ; Thos. Finn to Australia, and Richard Black to Seat- tle, Washington Territory." And still lots of people won't believe that there is any exodus. —Mr. Geo. Askwith has sold his farm lot 37, 10th concession of Hullett, 100 acres, to Mr. W. Waite, of the same township for a fair figure. Mr. Askworth did not long remain without a piece having bought the same day from place, John Knox, the Lawson homestead, being lot No. 4, on the base line, Hullett. Mr. Askwith takes this year's crop from old farm and Mr. Knox does the same with the other. Mr Knox bought the same day from Mr. Robert Sprung his term of 75 acres on the base line. Mr. Sprung intends to move to Manitoba. —The tatal receipts of the Township of Turnberry for the year 1889 amount- ed to $15,175, and are made up in part as follows: Mueieipal taxes, $12,501; interest received. $1,054.

ENTERTAINMENT AND PRESENTATI02.4 —On the evening of Friday, February! 28th, an entertainment was given in' school -house No. 4, McKillop, I on the occasion of the farewell of Mr. Mc- Gregor, who has taught here very suc- cessfully during the past three years. Thoughlhe weather was very unfavor- able, yet• the attendance was beyond what was anticipated, and the pro- gramme rendered was excellent, con- sisting of readings, recitations, dialogues and music, vocal and instrumental. The firat part of the programMe was given by the pupils now in attendance, and was such as to reflect great credit on themselves and their instructor, Mr. McGregor, whose successful teaching was manifested, in the expressive reciting of the chitdren taking part. The second part of the programme was given by the young people of the section, and we are safe in saying, in a manner that cannot be surpassed by the young folks of any other rural section in the county. The only assistance outside .the section was that given by a Mr. Gardiner, who. assisted in some quartette selections and sang two solos, which were very -well received. Several dialogues, comic, and Scotch songs were given to perfection, calling forth the hearty applause of the audience. After recess, and juet before the second part of the programme, a very pleasing part was performed by the pupils in the presentation to Mr, Mc- Oregor of a handsome shaving (Ali and inkstand, and the reading of a comtsii- Mentary and affectionately -worded ad- dress. Mr. McGregor made a very ap propria.te reply, expressing his gratitude t� the pupils for their kindness and re- , spot to him, and his regret that public school teaching is not at present such as t� encouragt teachers to remain in the profession. He concluded by giving the pupils some excellent advice. Both young and oid will be sorry to lose Mr. McGregor, as he has proved himself an agreeable citizen,and has taken an active part in social -and -literary circles since coining among us, and we alt ° join in wishing him success in his future career wherever his lot may be cast. -Benna' iller. , - 1:WMENEAL. — A pleasing eeremony was enacted at the residence of the bride's 'nether, on February 26th, when Mr. Thomas Greenwood, only son of Philip Greenwood, Esq., and Miss' Esther Ross, were united in the bonds of inatrimony. The Rev. Mr. Harris, of Benmiller,-tied the nuptial knot. The bride was tastefully attired in a beauti- fel drab' costume, draped with brown stain, end looked exceedingly pretty. The groom was supported by Mr. R088, while Mies Butt attendedthe bride. Af- ter the ceremony was over the company repaired, en novae, to the table, wbich was splendidly prepared and becomingly decorated, and to the good things on which all did ample justice. After tea was dispensed with, all listened in- tently and applauded loudly the choice .selections rendered by the choir under 'the aft -lent leadership of the veteran leader, Stephen Butt, Esq. We could not fsil to notice the large and varied assortment of handsome and useful pres- ents, showing the esteem in whinh the bride is held. Mr. and Mrs. Green- wood carry with them across the thresh- old the good wishes and moat kind re- gards of their many friends and ac- quaintances. —Com. grippe and bronchitis and last w6ek he became so dangerously ill theit death seemed imminent, but we are *lad to learn that he is elderly recovering.—A they pedagogue has been afflicted dur- ing theipast 2 weeks with excruciating pain, caused by expansion of gas in the pulp chamber of a diabolical left inferior molar, driving particles of dead pulp and other debris through the foramen with great force against the peridental membrane; but under the akilful manipulation of a Brussels L. D. S. the adentalgie agony has been alleviated and his suffeeing molars breath freely again. • , • . • t - HURON EXPOSITOR. a „ • - - A • An Honored Leader. An Ottawa correspondent says: Hon. Alexander Mackenzie is very weak and feeble, and when he enters the Commons he has to be helped on and off with his overcoat and fur cap. Then he shuffles painfully along to a seat in the Roust: Ile has not been heard from this session, but when he rises to speak he has to be assisted by his neighbor, whoever may happen to be sitting next to him,uaually Mr. Laurier. When be speaks it is in a whisper and the whole House is hushed in silence to catch the words as they fall from his lips. He is mentally vigorous, and you can see that his mind follows the debate, but physically he is a wreck, although he does not like any person to come to his aid, thinking he is Etronger than he is. - Both sides of the House • treat him with profound respect, and old members shake hands with him as they pass his desk going to their seats. It is a pity to see one who formerly exercised such power in this country, grown so feeble arid NO helplesa, but Alexander Mackenzie's name will live long in the annals of Canada as that of a high- minded,and keenly conscientious man, who broke himself down in the service of his country.

TOWNSHIP NOTES. —Mrs. John Mc- Taggart,of the 16th concession, has been very ill lately, and she is still very weak, not having recovered from\ the effects of la grippe which was the pri- mary cause of her illness.—On Monday of last week, teams by the dozen haul- ing wood and grain to market, were making good use of the sno* while it lasted, and the sight must have cheered the hearts of the villagers immensely.

The No. 2 team, not having the courage to play School against school, resorted to the expedient of introducing into -their ranks two veteran players whose sohool-days have vanished forever into the misty past. This scheme being naturally objected to by the boys of No. 8, all of whom are real bona fide pupils in regular attendance, the match was declared off. As it stands now, No. 8 sent a challenge to No. 2, 'school against echool, and No. 2 sentsone to No. 8 to play section against section; but it isn't among the probabilities that either will be accepted.—Mr. and Mrs. P.
