HORSEOLOGV.—Mr. James Archibald, of this town, purchased this week from Mr. Neil McDonald, of Morris, near Blyth, a very superior heavy draught mare for the Old Country market. The price paid was $180. Thia is a, splendid figure considering the present state of the market, but it only goes to prove what we have so frequently said that really good animals will always bring good-prices.—Mr. John McMann also shipped two car loads of extra good horses last week. One load went to Detroit and the other to Pennaylvania, Mr. McMann saes he has turned over more horses this past winter than he has done any winter eince he has been in the business. C 0 N`G RAT U LATIONs. —The gentleman men- tioned as the principal in the followiug extract which we take from the Buffalo, Dakota, Express of March 27, is a native of the township of McKillop, being a son of Mrs. James Dorrrance. The Express says: "Oa Monday lest, Mr. W. T. Dorrance of Colgate, Steele county, a brother of Mrs. II. E. Brown of this place, came to Buffalo and met Miss Wiewell of Lake View, Washing- ton, a former resident of Ayr, and the two repaired to Valley City where they were married by Rev. M. E. Brown. After .the nuptial _ ceremonies were completed the happy couple returned to Buffalo, and on Tuesday morning started for their future home at Colgate. Both the contracting parties are quite well known to our people, who wish them the highest degree of domes- tic felicity. The Express ntends hearty congratulations." Mr. Dorrances many old friends in this vicinity Will unite with us in congratulating him on his new departure and id wishing himself and his bride much joy and prosperity. A BAD ROAD. —The road 'north _from Seaforth, for the first two or three miles, is in simply a disgracefully danger- ous condition. The snow and ice, still several feet deep in'msny places, is cut into all manner of holes and ditches, and in many places renders the highway all but impassable. On Saturday last Mr. John Morrison, ex -deputy reeve of McKillop, and hie niece were coming into town and their buggy upset. Both -occupants were thrown out, and it is almoat a miracle they were not seriously injured. There have been several other narrow escapes. A few hours' work of a few men would make the road so that it would be fairly passable. We do not know what the authorities of MoKillop are thinking about. The township is clear- ly responsible for having the road in such a dangerous condition, and if an accident were to occur the township might have five times more to pay in damages than it would cost to make the road safe for travel. BEES FOR SALE.—A few colonies of bees fo sale, A single colony of these bees gathered 18 pounds of honey in one day, last year. I.

Mr. Cumming was absent e.boat ten weeks. He had a very pleasant trip and greatly enjoyed his visit. His son, who was mid up with the typhoid fever and whose illness inducee him to take the trip, was nearly fully recovered when he left. He paid several visits to San Francisco and Sacramento, where he met numerous former Huronites, and among the number Mr. Houston, formerly of Tuckersmith, and Mr. Dan Clark, formerly of Seaforth. These gentlemen, together with the others whom Mr. Cumming met, are doing well. Mr. Cumming was delighted with the climate and the apparent business push and get-up of the people in the towns and cities, but he was not much impressed with the modes of farming which he obaerved in psseing through the country, A few days before leaving he enjoyed the luxury of new pota- toes and green peas. The conclusion he has arrived at after all he has mien is, that old Huron is good enough for him yet. tee, and will spend the summer there.—Mr. Geo.

We hope this appeal will be liberally responded to.

THOMAS CHURCH EASTER VESTRY. — The annual vestry meeting in connection with St. Thomas church, Seaforth, was held on Tuesday evening. The report of the church Wardens showed the congregation to be in a very prosperous condition both numerically and financially. Very marked improvements have taken • place in all branches of the church work since the pres- ent incumbent took charge of the parish. The receipts for the year were over $1,800 and the expenditure some $50 lees. Mr. Morris was appointed by the Rector as his Warden and the congregation elected Mr. T. 0. Kemp. Messrs. Bullard, Simpson, Neelin and Dr. Belden were appointed sides - men. lidessre. F. Holmested and C. E. -Simpson were elected as lay repreeentatives to synod. A committee Was appointed to call for tenders for improvitig and enlarging the Sunday school room. The Rector was then asked to retire, Mr. Jackson taking the chair, when it was resolved that in consider- ation of the diligent and faithful services of Rev. Mr. Hedging he be presented with $100 and that his stipend for the future be raised to $900. The salary of the organist was also raisedito $100. The Rector on his re- turn thanked the vestry for their kind ap- preciation of his work and expressed e pleas- ure at the hat manioc's relations existing in the parish. • SLIGHTLY MIXED.—As one of Our citizens wad wending his way homeward along God- erich street, on Tuesday night, he heard a tremendous uproar just in front of the Pres- byterian church. It was so dark in the shadow of the church that objects were in- distinguishable, but on going to the spot he found that a farmer having too heavy a load of it tanglefoot," had driven his team in on the sidewalk next to the fence, had, in some way, got the end of the vehiele stewed around against a tree, and was total- ly unable to extricate his outfit. After con- siderable manoeuvring the team and wagon were got on the road, and ulti- mately started for home. However, as the man was not quite drunk enough to leave his horses alone, it is likely that the poor brutes had to spend the night on the road. Such incidents as these are pretty good tem- perance sermons. How any man, after see- iag one of these disgusting examples of in- temperance, can be fool enough to place himself in a similar condition, we gannet imagine. EuMONDViLLE NOTES. — The Rev. Neil Shaw, of Tilbury, was the unanimous choice of our congregation on Tuesday lad. The names of three others were submitted and voted on, but Mr. Shaw polled the largest vote from the beginning, which was finally made unanimous. Should Mr. Shaw accept the call, steps will be at once taken to have him inducted as soon as possible. The meet- ing Was pleasant and harmonious,all present seemed heartily to unite in forwarding the general good by gracefully agreeing to the choice of the majority. To the moderator, the Rev. P. Muagrave, much credit is due for his tact in guiding the meeting to such a happy issue. — Mr. Thomas Ferguson, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is visiting at his old home here. He has grown to be a fine, strapping young fellow and is prospering in the land of his adoption. Steady, industri- ous' Canadians generally do that at home or abroad.—Business appears prosperous in our village this spring, an increase of hands be- ing necessary in some establishments. Mr. Hill is preparing several new buggies for his increesing trade. Mr. Jackson, who has MORRIS VS. HURON'. —The arbitrators ap- pointed to adjudicate upon thetelaim of the township of Morris against the county of Huron for a percentage of the cost of con- struction and maintenance of all bridges within that township, of one handred feet and over in length, as provided by section 30 of the Municipal Amendment Act of 1890, have had several sittings -and have completed taking evidence, and will next week meet to decide upon their verdict. What the ver- dict will be, can not, of course, be even con- jectured, but whatever it may be it will, likely, form a basis for a settlement with other municipalities. It has heretofore been supposed that Morris had a larger number of bridges to maintain than any other municipality in the county; that Grey came second; Howiok third, and Turoberry fourth. It turns out, however, by the evi- dence taken before the arbitrators, that Hullettostanels first in this respect ; Morris second, Grey third, and Ashfield fourth, with Howick and Turnberry considerably in the rear. The arbitrators are : Judge Toms, on behalf of the county; nfroWm. Clegg, ,of Wingham, on behalf of Morrie, and Mr, J. A. Morton, Wingham, as the third man. This case and other similar claims that will be made will likely afford ample work for the county council at its June session. The general opiaion how- ever, of ,those who have given the lict any consideration is, that it is not only unneces- sary, but that it is a ndschievous piece of legislation which, instead of doiug good, is calculated to create unnecessary irritation and friction between municipalities,and may even be the means of doing material injus- tice. ! It should be repealed, and we hope the representatives of this county will bend theile energies in this direction. right; Sidesmen, D. Harrison and F. Ed- wards ; Janitress, Mrs. R. McDool ; Audi- tors, T. Stinson and G. Wood. Mr. John Eason made a very generous donation of a number of hymn . books, to be left in the pews for the use of strangers. Rev.

Blair, of Bayfield, who did some remarkably fast work, and are not afraid to meet anybody in a match.

After a thorough investigation the committee decided to lo- cate the new bridge further up the river than the present one, and on the site of a former bridge. This, they considered the most direct route across the river, and in addition, a shorter and less expensive bridge would be required at this point than at the place where the bridge now is. It turns out, however, that a read to the new site could not be got without going through private property, and consequently the own- er of the land must be settled with before any contract for a new bridge can be let. This will, probably, defer the matter until after the-june meeting of the county coun- cil.—The village council, at its last meeting, passed a resolution vigorously protesting against the bridge being removed from its present site, and stating that the land on one bank of the river, where it is proposed by the oommittee to erect the new bridge, belongs to Bayfield and not to the county.
