tracted diseaae of the lungs while engaged
in business conneOted with mines in Cali-
fornia, He was a bright and promising
young man, and his early death will be
much regretted.
•
To CORRESPOISDENTS. —For SOMA reason
Or other, presumably the blocked up state
of the meths, most of our local correspond-
ence was late in reaching us this week, and
we had a perfect avalanche during the clos-
ing up hours. As a result we had to omit
mime and cut others down, but all will re-
ceive attention next week. No doubt some
will be diseppointed, but the disappoint-
ment is unavoidable. We cannot control
the weather. We have also several inter-
esting letters on hand, which will receive
Otention in due course.
THE FARMERS' ASSEMBLY. —The Farn -
ere' assembly, held in Cardnots Hall, Se -
forth, on Friday evening last, was favo -
ed (?) with exceedingly stormy weather se
bad roads, consequently the attendance wai
not so large as it would otherwise have been.
However, those wk.? did brave the elements
enjoyed themselves 63 the full, tripping the
light fantastic. The music was furnished
by Messrs. Chesney and Forsythe on the
violin, and Mrs. Thomas Grieve on the
piano, and under the sweet strains of each
music who could remain still. A bountiful
supper was spread in the dining room of
the hall, gotten up by Mr. Garda°. We
are sure that the young people are deeply
grateful to the enterprising gentlemen who
provided them such an enjoyable evening's'
amusement
THE Towle COUNCIL. —The first meeting
of the town council for 1893 was held on
Monday. The several members took the
necessary declaration and the new Mayor,
Mr. D. D. Wilson, briefly addressed the
Council. Mr. Wat.Elliott was re -appointed
town clerk, and Mr. J. 0. Rose and Mr. W.
G. Duff were appointed town auditors, the
remuneration to be $12 each. Councillor
Tyerman was instructed to examine the
market scales, and if found defective, to
have them pat in proper shape at once. We
may state that the scales have been thor-
oughly tested, and they are absolutely cor-
rect. The Council meets again next Mon-
day night. Before closing, Mayor Wilson
extended a cordial invitation to the Coun-
cillors and officials to his residence on
Tuesday evening, there to partake of the
hoepitality of Mrs. Wilson and himself. It
is needless to say the invitation was ac-
cepted in as cordial a manner as it was
given.

A SUNDAY SCHOOL IN MUSKOKA. —In the
Aspdin correspondence of the Free Grant
Gazette, published at Bracebridge, we find
the follewing paragraph : " At the annual
Christma3 gathering, the Presbyterian
church of this place wan crowded with the
children, parents and friends of the Sabbath
School. Through the kindnees of friends in
Seaforth and othere, a beautiful Chrietmas
tree was loaded with presents for the
ohildren. A splendid programme was pro-
vided for those present, consisting of vocal
and instrumental music, recitations, dia-
logues, etc., by the children,b which, to-
gether with the refreshments peovided by
the friends of the school, made a pleasant -
time for all present." In reference to the
above we may say that a box, containing
c
books, cards, papers &c., was ma e up by
Miss Tytler, Mrs. Kirkman and a ew other
friends, and forwarded to Mr. A. Sproat, of
Aspdin, Muskoka. That the gifts were
fully appreciated is testified by the above
notice. -
TVOKERSMITH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —
The annual meeting af the members of the
Tuckeremith Branch Agricultural Society
was held at the Commercial Hotel, in this
town, on Thursday -Oast week. The Society
are a little behind this year, financially, on
.
account -of the bad weather at the fall show
and the' coneequent light gate receipts, and
the auditors' statement shows a balance due
the Treasurer of $43, but the South Riding
directors, at their last meeting, gave the
society a rebate of $50, which will put it in
better shape. This year the society ainalga-
mated with the South Riding society for
the purpose of holding the fall show, giving
the Riding society a bonus of $750, they
paying the prize list and other expenses.
The following officers and directors were
elected : Thoma,a E. 'gays, President ; Rob-
ert Charters, Vice -President ; W. G. Duff,
Secretary ; Robert Logan, Treasurer. Di-
rectors.—Henry Chesney and John Ge
Sproat, Tuckersmithif; John Watt, Thomas

MeMillan and Pete Hawthorn, Hullett ;
Joseph Morrison, Jo n Benneweie and John
Grieve, McKillop ; . S. Beattie, Seaforth.
Messre. D. Johnson and G. E. Creeswell
were re -appointed auditors. Mr. Thomae
Govenlock, the late President, declined re-
election. .
EGMONDVILLE NOTES. — Thomas Lea -
*Lorne, for many ,years a resident of this
village, left suddenly one day last week for
parts unknown. Our street will miss his
shambling gait, as he made his frequent
pilgrimages to the south end of the village.
Poor fellow, he was usually a sinner against
no one but himself.—It is not often that
man or horse gets the better of Mr. John
McMann, but his black pony landed him in
a big snow drift on Monday last, making
its escape from the veteran and leaving him
to make his way after it aa best he could.
It was rather humiliating, but we are glad
to learn that no damage was done.—We
regret having aroused the ire of our worthy
ex -reeve, a gentleman for whom we have
great respect, but Mr. McLean must remem-
ber that public men, like newspaper scrib-
blers, are open to critieism, and it does not
mend mattera to exhibit temper. Why
does he pose as the champion of our late
council when no personal charge was made
against any one member ; surely " over-
eoonomy " must be a tender subject with
him, and in fact is the only point on which
he is said to have erred in the administra-
tion of municipal matters, if _error it can be
called. Of this he can obtain full proof by
consulting his old associates in office. As
to loss sustained and dilapidated bridges,
by this " over-econorny," examples ,clan be
oven, if desired, quite sufficient to substan-
tiate the truth of the assertion. We might
say also that, when Mr. MoLean entered
office he doubtlead found plenty of work
" out out for him," not by any municipal
tailor, but by ordinary wear and tear. In
regard to the " juetice and truth " of the
articles penned by your Egmondville Soribe,
he will deem it a favor if Mr. McLean will
be eo-good as to name an instance in which
he found your correspondent, knowingly, at
fault in either of these respects.—The an-
nual congregationel meeting of- our church
was held on Monday afternoon, with Rev.
P. Muegrave, moderatorein the chair. The
reportseof the different committees and so-
cieties showed the congregation to be in a
prosperous condition. The moderator was
requested to ask the Presbytery for permis-
sion to moderate in a call as soon as a suit-
able candidate oan be selected. It was also
decided not to hsve a tes-meeting this year
in connection with the annivereary services.
As it is usually a festive 000a0i00, it Was
considered proper to dispense with it out
of respect to the memory of those of whom
death has so lately deprived us, as well as
out of consideration for one who is so sadly
afflicted, and who easy almost be called the
father of our congregation. At any rate it
is, perhaps, a very questiona,ble way of rais-
ing church funde, and really more costly
than by direct contribtitiong.
The Midland Free Press says of the Ethel
Armstrong Concert CoMpany : Those who had the
good fortune to be present at the Telgmann-Artn-
strong concert enjoyed mire treat indeed. Mr.
Telgmann played an ovarture on the piano, with
such ease and finish as to elicit the greatest applause,
while Miss Jackson won [(Olden opinions directly eh e
appeared on the stage. With natural grace and
dignity and the most portent self-possesion she took
her place before the audience. Her masterly rendi-
tion of " Jack the Fishern:an," "The Elf Child" and
" How Reubenstein played on the piano" marked her
as a dramatic reader of a very high order, and was
worth more than double the price of admission.
Ethel Armstrong won the hearts of the audience at
once and during her rendition of a violin solo a pin's
fall niight have been heard. Should this compitny
revisit Midland the monetary condition of the town
will be at a very low ebb, if the hall holds the crowd.

PERSONAL, he Hemel' Observer of
last week we notice the following compli-
mentary reference to former citizen of
Seelorth : " Last Friday afternoon our
public school, in respon'ee to the invitation
of the learned principal, Mr. Wren, was
visited by Mr. Cameron Smith, Hensall's
lawyer. Upon the school being called to-
gether in Mr. Wren's room, he requested
the newly elected trustee, Mr. J. C. Stone-
man, who was present, te take the chair
and preside. Mr. Stoneman having taken
the chair, celled upon Mr, Smith to address
the school. Mr. Smith on rising was re-
ceived with considerable applause. He
spoke at considerable length, dwelling
upon the duty of the scholars and urging
upon their attention many important
matters. He was listened to throughout
with rapt attention. At the conclusion of
the address, a hearty vote of thanks was
tendered the' eloquent speaker for his ad-
dress. , It wan one of the ablest addresses
of the kind ever delivered in Herman.
Quite a large number, on learning of Mr.
-Smith's proposed visit to the school, availed
themielves of the oppditunity of hearing
him." ,1
l'HE MASONIC CONVERSAZIONE. — The
members of Britannia Masonic Lodge, Sea -
forth, with their wives, sisters, friends, &c,,
spent a very enjoyable evening in their
lodge room on Monday evening. They had
a sort of a social gathering to which the
brethren were permitted to take their lady
friends. There was a liirge party present,
but there wag ample rooml for all, Small
tables had been set around through the
lodge rooms and games of all kinds were
indulged in. Worshipful Master Hodgins
and his Stewards were unceasing in their
efforts to make every person feel at home
and make all enjoy themselves, and they
seemed to succeed admirably. At intervals
during the evening musical selections and
readings were given and at the appointed
time the tables were spread and refreshments
served. Musical selections were given by
Mrs. Bright, Mrs. Dr. Smith, Mrs. Somer-
ville, Miss McFaul and by Messrs. James
Scott and W. D. Bright, while Mise Ewiree
presided tit the piano. A reading was also
given by Mayor Wilson. The affair was a
marked success and we hope to see Britan-
nia branch out in this way more frequently.
It will have a beneficial influence on the
members,by increasing the spirit of sociality
and will cause increased Interest in the.
lodge.
WOMEN'S WORK FOR MISSIONS. —The
annual meeting of the Huron Presbyterial
Women's Foreign Missionary Society was
held in Knox Church, Goderich, on Tues-
day last. There was a fair attendance of
delegates, considering the unfavorable
weather and bad roadie At the forenoon
session the election of officers took place, re-
sulting as follows : Mrs. a Fletcher, Us -
borne, President ; First Vice PresidentMrs.
Anderson, Goderich ; Second Vice Presi-
dent, Mrs. Henderson, Hensell ; Secretary,
Mrs. J. Lyon, Seaforth ; Treasurer, Mrs.
M. Y. McLean, Seaforth. Mrs. Thomas
Fair, Clinton, who had been President
since the organization of the society, now
some eight years, much to the regret of the
members, declined again taking that posi-
tion. The interests of the Society, how-
ever, will not suffer under the care of the
newly -elected President, as she has many
times proved herself competent for the
position and worthy of it. At the afternoon
session the address of welcome to the dele-
gates was read by Mrs. Anderson, of God-
erich, and responded to by Miss Graham, df
Egmondville ; the reports of the various
officers and auxiliaries were read and con-
sidered. Addresses were delivered by the
President and others. These various items
of the programme were interspersed by ex.
cellent music by the- lady members of the
church choir. A largely attended public
meeting was held in the evening, when an
address on Missionary work was delivered
by Rev, Mr. McKay, Missionary Secretary,
and an excellent musical programme by the
church choir. This was Mr. McKay's first
public appearance in this part of the coun-
try since his appointment to his present po-
sition,and his excellent address and thorough
acquaintance with the work proves the
choice of the- Assembly to be a good one,
and that he is the right man in the right
place. The meetings throughout *ere the
most interesting yet held under the a,uspices
of the Society. The reports of the officers
showed that the sum of $1,199.69 had been
oontributed by the severel auxiliaries and
mission bends under the jurisdiction of the
society during the year. In addition to
this the Society contributed over $400 worth
of olothing, which was sent to the India= of
Bird Tail Reserve, Manitoba, making the
total contributions for the year over $1,600.
The following are the amounts contributed
by the several auxiliaries , and Mission
Bands : Gotierich, $115.52 ; Clinton,
$227.62 ; Seaforth, $222.44 ; ' Thames Road,
Usborne, $110.50 ; Brucefield, $118.26 ;
Manchester, $38.68 ; Kirkton, $35.87 ;
Smith'e Hill, $28 ; Egmondville, $93 ; Duffs
Church, MoKillop, $8.50; Blyth, $124,41 ;
Hensall, $60 ; Bayfield Road, $16.89. These
amounts will all be devoted to purely mis-
sionary purposes, and are over and above
expenses. The delegates and their friends
were moot kindly and hospitably entertain-
ed by the ladies of the Goderich auxilisry
and Mission bands, who are also entitled te
credit for not a little of the success of this
most interesting and profitable meeting.
s A PLEASANT EVENING.—On Tueeday
evening last the members of the town coun-
cil for the present year, as also for the past,
were entertained at a complimentary supper
by the new Mayor, Mr. D. D. Wilsonnet
his palatial residence, " Ingleside." It? is
needless to say that the memhers of the
council were there in full force td partake of
the hospitality of Mayor Wilson and his
estimable wife, and were treated to one of
tho finest spreads that could tempt the ap-
petite of an epicure. Everything was clone
for the comfort and enjoyment of the guests,
and to say that all present were more than
eatisfied at the handsome treatment receiv-
ed at the hands of their host and hostess
but faintly conveys the feelings of the
guests. After all had dose justice to_ the
inner man, the tables were cleared and a
feast ot reason and flow of soul followed, the
speeches being short and to the point, inter-
spersed at times by vocal selections by mem-
bers of the company. After passing a very
pleasant evening, and voting the new Mayor
a jolly good fellow, the company broke up
at an early hour, all pleased with the good
time they had spent.

Currie, of Glencee, oconpied the pulpit
morning and evening, delivering two very
fine and practical discourses, and on the
Monday evening following a free social was
held in the basement of the church from 6
to 7.30 p.m., which was very largely attend-
ed, and it inneedless to say that the rich
and bountiful repast prepared by the ladies
was such as reflected the highest credit
upon them, as excellent cooks end bountiful
providers and was much enjoyed by allt
The social ended, a move was made for the
body of the church, when the annual meet-
ing of the congregation was held, the pastor
Rev. J. S. Henderson, occupying the
chair. As a financial report is to be
given we will not attempt to enter
into any details here but would simply
say that the meeting was one of the best
ever held, and the different reports showed
the congregation to be.in a most prosperous
condition. The money raised for all pur-
poses was in advance of that of any year,
and that notwithstanding that the debt of
the ohurch and manse was being paid off,
and is new completely wiped out, and a
balance to the good in the Treasurer's hands
of nearly $50. This is certainly a most
creditable and encouraging state of things,
and shows what a liberal congregation can
do. One of the reports submitted showed
that nearly $30,000 has been raised during
the past eight years for all purposee, includ-
ing the building of the church and manse.
