He is a first-class workman, and will likely be one of the first to return. -Rev. Dr.Rob- ertson, who was to have preached a sermon on the Northwest missionu a couple of months ago in the Presbyterian church, will preach there next Sunday morning. He ought to be welcomed by a well filled church, as he comes well recommended. -- Ex -Mayor Inglis, of Wingham, was in town Monday on business. -Mr. Cook has opened his law office over Mr. J. Bell's har- ness shop. -It is our sad duty to record the death of Alice Heffron, the twelve -year-old daughter of Mrs. Heffron. She was sick only a very short time, dying of congeation of the brain brought on partly from over - study. She was a very promising girl. The sympathy of the neighborhood is with her mother, as this is the second child she has buried within a very short time. Blake. NOTES. -Mr. Johd Ester has fully re- covered from his recent illness. Mr. Don- ald Manson is slowly recovering, while Mrs. John Ester, mother of James and Eagleson Ester, is not expected to recover, old age being the trouble. ---Sugar making is now the order of the day around our vil- lage. -Our old, friend Mr. Peter Capling has of Iate been wearing a very broad smile, so much so that many of the neigh- bors, before the truth became known, might be heard inquiring one of another, What is the matter with Pete anyway." But the cauee soon became generally known, and it war nothing lees than fleet a bouncing baby boy had come to pay him a permanent visit. Mary. Carnie was paying her parents a visit last Sunday. SCHOOL EXAMINATION AND LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT. -A very successful exam- ination was held in our school on Thursday last week. At night the Bla,ke Literary Society also had a meeting, and the pro gramme was a good one and well carried out by those who took part in it. One of the chief attraotions was an address by Mr. J. E. Tom, Public School Inspector. Mrs. Doan, of Zurich, and Mr. William Ross delighted the large audience with their music, while the Harmonica Band of the Goshen Line came in for their ahare of appla,use. But probably the moat de- lightful part was the singing by Mime Emma Dann, she holding the audience spell- bound during her rendering of several songs. Bat these were only a few of whom took part in the programme, and while we mention these particularly, the others, al- though space will not permit, are worthy of mention and praise. Altogether it was a very successful meeting, and shows what the people of this vicinity can do if they once take an interest in any matter. Brussels. Batzes.-The furniture and effects of the Queen's Hotel will be sold on this Friday. - Mr.' P. Scott shipped his Carlisle horse to Montreal on Friday last, having mold him to a gentleman there. -The farmers are busy plowing. -Farmers are in good spirits on ac- count of the bright prospects for fall wheat. Should the present fine weather continue seeding will be general _before the end of the week. COUNCIL MEETWG.-Council met on Mon- day last, Mr. W. H. McCracken was voted to the chair and a large number of accounts Were passed and ordered to be paid. Mr. John Broadfoot was appointed village con- stable, etc. The tender of L. McDonald It Co. for pine at $1L50 per thousand and cedar at $10 per thousa,nd was accepted. The tender of R. McKay for supplying gravel at 401t cents per rod, and of Thomas Stewart for scraping the street at $22.50 were alao accepted. BANK AFFAIRS. -The closing of the priv- ate bank here has been the excitement dur- ing the past couple of weeks. A meeting of the depositors was held on Saturday last when a statement of the affairs was given by Mr. A. Cowley, the manager in charge. At this meeting it was learned that Mr. MoTaggart was on his way here from Alabama and would arrive on Monday. When this was made known the meeting , was adjourned until Mr. McTaggart should arrive. As was expected he arrived on Monday and a meeting was at once held. He stated that he was negotiating with several prominent bankers to buy him oat and if the securities were sufficient he felt confident that he could easily dispose of enough to pay all claims and that without being hard on those who have money bor- cowed at present. This arrangement seemed satisfactory to all parties and nothing more will be done until all the securities have been examined. Two letters have been re- ceived from Mr. McIntosh since his de- parture. The one, on the Monday after his leaving, from Windsor and the other from Detroit on the following day. At present his whereabouts is unknown. It is thought by many that the worry and care of the business has deranged his mind, and there is no person who would be more heartily welcomed back to Brussels than he, as he still has the confidence and sympathy of all. Mr. George Mak, of Lucknow, has been here negotiating about starting a private bank should the old one discontinue to do busi- 11081. Exeter. NEARLY A CONFLAGRATION. -About 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, when the wind was blowing wildly, the roof of the Commercial Hotel here caught fire from a apark from the chimney. It was first no- ticed by Dr. W. Browning, who happen- ed to be passing in a rig, and he at once gave the alarm. By the strenuous efforts of a few villagers, who formed a. bucket brigade and mounted the high roof, the fire was put out with a few pails of water. Both fire engines were en the scene but fortu- nately were not needed. fled the fire got a good start it would have been a seri- ous conflagration and a very heavy lose to the village, as the whole village would be in immediate danger on account of the high wind blowing at the time. Great praise is given those who aseisted so promptly in putting out what might have been a dis- astrous fire.

Mr. and Mrs, Cowan's children were all present, together with their husbands, wives and grandchild- ren, also a few old and much respected neighbors, pioneer settlers, of whom there are few now left.

Mr. McMaster has not only our sympathy, but we believe he has the sympathy of all acquainted with the distressing eircumetances.-The Masonic order have put in an elegant suite of lodge furniture, a suite that would do credit to any lodge room in the county.
