AN ASSISTANT.—A vote by ballot was taken in the Preebyterian church irethis town on Sabbath last, as to whether or IlOt it is the wish of the members to Se- cure the services of a permanent mast at to the pastor. The vote resulted in a mejority of twenty in favor of getting an aaaistant to the pastor. It was found, however; that only about half the mem- bers of the congregation had voted. In view of this fact and the comparatively small majority in favor of a permenent assistant, the session concluded that it would not be advisable eo prociied to procure such an assistant at the piesent time, but authorised the Moderato to go to Toronto, with -the view of securing the services of a student for the- summer six aneetles. Three applioants evill be heard and then a congregational meeting will be called to make the final choice. • THE BALMORAL CHOIR. — The Bal- moral Choir, ot Glasgow, Scotland, gave their promised entertainment here on Mondey evening last, under the auspices of the Mechanics' Institute.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. -°-As will be seen in the public press, farmers and others in the County of Huron have been victimized by irresponsible dealers, who hold the organs simply under a lien held by another who reline owns the instruments and in case the agent does not hand over the proceeds of the sale, the organ is stiz,.d on the price or collected a second time. In view of the abeve facts we wish to state that as we have been in the 'Piano and Organ business in Seaforth for over fifteen years, we can reasonabl) claim the confidence of intending purchasers, and ask that they may call on ua before buying from agents, who have no stake in Om town or country and who do not know whether the goods they are selling, for the time being, are shoddy or not.

Mr. Laidlaw is oue of the oldest players in the club, and is worthy of the hoeors he . has so pluckily won. THE HORSE FAIR. —The Horse and Cattle Fair held here on Wednesday was not quite so largely attended as usual. This, however, may be account- ed for by the fact that the weather was Utterly cold and the roads were not very good, there not being snow enmigh for aleighiug and too much for good 'wheel- ing. However, there were a large num- ber of good horses, a good attendance of buyers and considerable , bueinees done. Prices, on the whole, ranged low, and sellers seemed to want larger figures than buyers were prepared to give. The foilowing are the animals purchased by the several buyeranamed Mr. White, Hensall, 1; Easson & Mo - 'ravish, Stratford, 3; Enright, 8; Lewis, 0; Sherrett, 2 ; :Bates, 6 ; Mc- Mann, 6; Dickaon, 2; Walsh,. 5, mak- ing in all 32 horses sold. It will be seen by this list that the local buyers kept up their own end of the stick, having •purchased the largest number of .:horses. There were also 12 cows and young cat- tle sold at auction. Mr. Robert Winter, d'ar well-known cattle buyer, also pur- chased 36 head of cattle for shipment. • Hibbert.

We have been giving 18 • pnunds of good bright sugar for $1 for the last six weeks and have still some of it left which we will sell at the same price notwithstanding the advance in sugars.

Mr. Hannah has disposed of all his cows and intends hereafter keeping only those of the Jersey breed, as he believes them to be beat adapted for the butter mak- ing business to which he intends devot- ing special attention.

This is not the first seri- ous offence of which.some, at least, of these boys have been proven guilty, and the sentence of the magistrates was a jest one. We withhold the names of the boys at the present time out of defer- ence to the feelings of their parents who are highly respectable people, and who are, no doubt, sufficiently mortified and grieved at having their children go so far astray as tbese boys have. This occurrence, however, should be a warn- ing to them to try and look better after their boys in future, and to incul- cate in them more honest prin- ciples and s habits. It should also be a warning to the boys themselvas and to others who, perhaps, are no better than these, but who haveeiot hap- pened to be discovered in their \ wrong- doing, and should teach th-m • that honesty is the best policy and that such disreputable conduct is a very poor way to commence aife, and that sooner or later it is sure to lead to disgrace and ruin.

Parker presented him with a young heir, also the wife of Charles Stalker presented him with a son on the 28th of February.—The first MARCH 7, 1890 E. McFaul's I' 1iNT CLEARING .SALE, FOR Weeks Only 1 In the course of a few weeks we expect' our shelves and counters to be filled with, new and season- able goods for the Spring Trade, and in order to make room for these and prepare our stock for the coming season, we will sell for the next two weeks the balance of our Winter Stock at • Wroxeter. PERSONAL. —We are. pleased to note that Mr, John Gofton, landlord of the "Queen's Arms" is now on the way to recovery from his recent dangerous ill- ness.—It is feared that Mrs. Johnston of the Commercial, will never rise from the sick -bed on which she is at present lying. Her ?else is considered hopeless. —The friends of Mr. A. L. Gibson, at present a patient in the General Hospi- tal, Toronto, will be glad to learn that he is making substantial, if not very rapid progress there. —Mr. F. V. E. Dickson resumes his work -as reporter in the chancery courts for the spring cir- cuit next week. SNow 1 SNOW !—The great cry among the farmers at the present time is for snow. The winter is fast slipping away and we have so far been favored with an unusually small proportion of that useful commodity. - Gibson Bros. mill -yard is bare of logs, a state of •things which seldom prevails at this time of year, and which would be remedied in a very short time were a good snowstorm to visit us. Many farmers have logs cut and ready to haul in if they get •a chance, and numbers of the logs, being maple and other hardwood blown down by storms, will be greatly damaged if they have to lie over until next' winter. Reports as to fall wheat are to the effect that it is mostly all right yet, though in some places heaved out by frost. Clover has suffered much more from this cause than fall wheat. Not- withstanding the mild winter, large quantities of first-rate ice are being taken off the pond. CURLING. —The Wroxeter Curling Club are matched to play Walkerton, the winners of the Ontario Tankard, for the district medal. The match was to have come off this week, but has been post poned until next. Our knights of the stone and broom are anxious for the fray, as it will afford them a chance of • covering themselves with glory, and so make up for the disappointment they felt when deprived of the opportunity of going to Toronto to compete for the tankard. Owing to the negligence or incompetence of the Listoviwel Club um- pire for this district the draws were not played off, except one which Wroxeter won, and as our -club Was not notified to attend the competition at Toronto until the last train on the previous day had left, they were shut out, and consequently feel a little sore. They will feel com- pensated when they lower the colors of the Walkerton tankard -winners. Hensall. A GOOD HORSE GOING AWAY.—Mr. David Miller, Veterinary Surgeon of this place, has purchased the interest of Mr. Berry in the well-known Clydesdale Stallion, McAlpine, and is now sele proprietor. Mr. Miller intends taking McAlpine to Manitoba and will travel him in the vicinity of Crystal City dur- ing the coming season. While we re- gret that so good a horse is beiug taken frorn. here we can heartily congratulate the people of Southern Manitoba on the prospect of having the services of so valuable an animal. McAlpine is one of the very best horses in the country and has left behind him a large number of very superior colts. We hope Mr. Miller will be as successful with him in the new Province as he has been here. LOCAL BRIEFS.—With the present good sleighing grain, wood and saw- logs are being brought into market in large quantities.—Mr. James White, the well known horse buyer, of this place, had a stable full of horses this week for shipment which would be hard to beat.—Mr. F.

LEFT "FOR DAKOTA. —Mr. Donald Me - Lachlan, Sr., lett here on Tuesday on the noon train for the /sTorthwest where he ris to make his efuture home. He will be missed in and around Brussels, especially in the Agricultural Society, in which he always took a great interest, and also in the township of Grey as. he had been collector for a great number of . years and as such was universally re- spected. He was one of the un- lucky ones that launched out and pur- chased land when things were booming, a number of years ago, and when the • crash and downfall in the price of real estate =carne it caught him and he had to succumb. Had he suceumbed sooner it would have been better for himself but he was living in hopes for a turn of the tide like others. It is rather hard. to see any of the old pioneers of our forests, who for half a century have toiled to make a home for themselves and their families, having to give it all up and go to another place in a new country to commence, as it were, the battle of life over again, without the energy of youth. Yet this is the honorable °ours, to pursue and Mradelsechlan took it. We sincerely wish him greater pros- perity in his new home, and his many - old friends in Huron will be rejoiced to hear of his weP doing, as notwithstand- ing his misfortunes, he carries with him the best wishes and respect of all who know him.

Al- though the early part of the evening was somewhat rough there was a very fair attendance and every body seemed. to enjoy themselves ,to the full.

The siX large tables were elegantly and taste- fully arranged, and decorated with 1t9ral boquets, and presented a very pretty appearance,the rich and • varied hues of the fiowers contrasting so beauti- fully, with the snowy table linen, the polished silver plates, and the beautiful crystal glassware. The viands were the best description, and for variety, richness and profusion could scarcely be surpassed. For nearly two hours the tables were literadly erowded, the waiters running hither and thither, passing the good things, pouring out the smoking hot tea and otherwise catering to the wants of the people, until every body else was satisfied when they had the extreme pleasure of helping them - @elves, Tee being over the people repaired to the Thames' Road Presby- terian Church, where the intellecenel part was to take place. Your corres- pondent happening to be on the waiting staff, and being somewhat absorbed in other things, was unfortunate enough to miss the early partSof the programme.
