The addresses given by Rev. p. Musgrave and Rev. Wm. Ottawell bristled with humor, and were full of sound sense and wholeaorne advice, but, perhaps, the most pleasant feature Of the meeting wee the presence of three young ladies and a young gentleman, members of the choir of Walton Methodist Church. These were Mr. Wm. Pollard and his sister,Miss Emma, and the two Misses Williamson, who dis- counted sweet music at intervals. We hope these young people will be long spared to engage in title the moat charming of all ac- complishments.

TEA MEETING. -The tea -meeting in the Methodist chterch, Winthrop, on Monday -evening, the 26th inst., was well attended. After tea, w4tch was served by the ladiea in tirst-class stile, the Rev. Mr. Ottaw ell took the chair, and a pleasing programme was presented. The musical portion was in the hands of an excellent quartette composed of the Messrs. Pollard and Williamson and Mn William Pollard of Walton. They certainly are fine singers. Suitable addres- ses et:ere delivered by Revs. Galloway, of Seafoith, and Paul, of Brussels, and two readings given by Dr. Smith of Seaforth. The entertainment was in every seine en- joyable, and the dna eleighing did much to make the evening pleasant for those in attendance. EXAMINATION. -The school in section No. 4, McKiliop, was a very lively spot on Thursday the 22nd inst., it was the day of Mr. " Nelson Hays' examination and a large number collected to aid in the day's enjoy- ment and to bid farewell to their teacher who is now leaving them for pastures new. Mr. Hays' was assisted in the examination by Misses Hilton and L. Campbell and Messre. J. and J. Hcgg ; J. G. and W. Mc- Leod, Robinson Clennan, Dodds and Goven- lock, while Mrs. Laidlaw, Misses. Davidson, Scott and McQuade, Mister Willie Hays, and oar old friend Mr. 'Carmichael ably assisted the pupils in the enter- tainment which followed. About two o'elock, after all had partaken of a sumptuous banquet prepared by the ladies of the section, came a Nell render- ed programme ending up with the reading of an address by Miss Maud Thompson and the presentation to Mr, Hays of some beautiful glite, by Misses Mary Campbell, Lizzie Beattie and, Mims Morrow. Mr. Eye, although, entirely surprised managed to make a suitable reply. The usual ipeeehes, in which all expressed themselves highly pleeseci with the work done in school, fitislind up a very interesting programme. Amongat the pupils as they were saying farewell tosMr.Hays there was scarcely a dry eye„„ We must conclude from this that he was fre,t only well liked put that he was a successful and popular teacher and his de- partare from_ the section is regretted by every pupil of the echool, and parent in the section. He is not only a good teacher but a clever, exemplary young man and will do well wherever his lot in life may be cast. A PLEASANT TIME. -On Friday of last Week a very successful examination was held in the school in section No.2,McKillop. The teacher, Mr. J. T. Dodds, who has taught very efficiently in the school for the past three years has decided to spend a term at the Ottawa Normal school. He therefore concluded to terminate his teaching career in No, 2, by having a public exarnin- atice, at which he was assisted by Miss Brown and Messrs,. Scott, Kerr, McLeod, King,Robinson, Hays, Hogg and Govenlock, and by these the pupils were subjected to a thorough drill on the various subjects, but came through the trying ordeal with flying colors'showing by their rea,dy answers that they had been carefully taught. Mr. A. Scott was then called to the chair, a,nd by his reedy wit did honor to the position. At the close of a lengthy programme, which was very creditably rendered by the pupils, they presented their teacher with a very handsome dressing-na,se, album, and Chris- tmas card, accompanied by a neatly worded address, expressive of their good will. It was quite evident to all present that the strongest bonds of sympathy and love had existed between Mr. Dodds and his pupils during his labors among them. Nor did the amusement end here, Mr. Dodds invited the eeachers accl a number of friends to his horne where a aumptuous repast awaited therm after which a merry evening was spent in tripping the light fantastic to the strains of the violin until the wee sma' hours of naorn, when all went home highly pleased with the whole preceedings.

GENTLEMEN, -For some years past it has been a rule that the person chosen as the Mayor of the Town of Seaforth should have a second year of Office, and after that ehould step out to make rooni for other aspirants. I see no reason why the rule should be departed from at the present time for whilst I have performed the duties of the office, I hope,satiefactorily I have no doubt that either of the other Gentlemen nominated for 1893, will 511 the office equally well. If you had seen fit to elect me by acclamation for a third term I would have esteemed it an honor and would willingly have devoted mj time to the service of the Town, but as you have not done so, I gladly make room for another. Thanking you very much for the honor you have conferred upon me, in electing me as Mayor for the years 1891 and 1392, and wishing you all a very happy and prosperous New.
