It should read TIMMY sown, NOT THICKLY sown. YOUra truly,—WIVI. ELLIOTT. HOLD UP. --DEAR EXPOSITOR I notice in your laet week's issue, and also in an issue some weeks ago, that your Egiriondville eeribe has been prolific of criticisms of Eg- mondville and some of its people, making his references so pointed as to be understood by all. Now, if he would just stop that bad practice it would be better for all concern- ed, as his advice and admonition are neither required nor appreciated.—A SUBSCRIBER. EGMONDVILLE CHURCH.—ThB pulpit Of the Egmondville Presbyterian Church wi- be occupied again on Sunday next by th Rev. Hope F. Rosa, of Toronto,who preach • ed to that congregation a few weeks ap . Mr. Ross has been called to Delaware, 01„ tario, and to Marine City, a very wealthy shipping town in the State of Michigan. He is at present studying for the B. D. degree, in Knox College, Toronto. No doubt many of hia Egmondville friends will be pleased to have another opportunity of listening to THE PRESBYTERIAN RECEPTION. —On Fri- day evening last a very pleasent time was spent in the basement of the Presbyterian church, when the Young People's Society of „ Christian Endeavor and the maneging cone- mitteo tendered a reception to the new as- sistant pastor, Mr. E. L, Hunt, B. A., of li.noic College, Toronto, The room was well filled and a very interesting programme, consisting of music, readings and addressee was rendered. Dr. McDonald presided in his usual pleasing manner. A good part of the time was spent in social intercourse, during which time Mr. Hunt was introduced to the members of the congregation. friends in the village on Monde.): and Tues- day lest. The former is practising medicine in Detroit, and the latter spent the winter in New York, doing the hospitals and at- tending lectures. He goes almost immedi- ately to California where he will resume the practice of his profession. Both are model young men, and it is not a little - gratifying to have had a hand in their early education. —The whistle of the woollen factory gave a rdyal salute, long end loud, as the wedding procession passed through the village on Tuesday. We trust Mies MoQuade's future mayebe as sunny as her wedding day. COUNOIL DOINGS. —At the meeting of the council on Monday evening, the principal business was the consideration of tenders on the original plan for the new town building. The contract was awarded to Mean. Youngs and Cawsey, of Stratford, whose tender was $8,250, and the Mayor was in- structed to have a contract drawn up by the town solicitor and duly signed. The, Maii- or, Reeve, and councillors Lyon and Beattie were appointed a building oommittee to supervise the work. The regular annual grant of $100 was made to the town band on the usual conditions. A communication from Messrs. C. W. Papst, Somerville and Winter, regarding a telephone for the water. works and a fire alarm system for the town, was received and referred to the fire and water committee, with instructions to en- quire into the necessity for a telephone and the suitability of the proposed system, and to report at the next meeting of mantel'.

WELL DONE. —We are pleased to learn of aanother Huronite who is distinguishing himself abroad. Mr. J. H. McCasey, for- merly of Belgrave, in this county, but now of Concordia, Kansas has recently been ap- pointed Chief Superintiindent of the Asylum for the Inman) of the 'State of Kansas, at a salary of $3,500 per year. The appoint- ment hcilds for three years or longer. When Dr. McGasey was a boy he began his liter- ary career as a correspondent for THE EX- PoSITOR, but hie taste for literature soon widened, and ot this time he is a distin- guished writer on educational, scientific and medical subjects. THE OTHER SIDE.—A former resident of this county, who is now residing in Algoma, in a private letter says : "I see some lettere in THE EXPOSITOR lately, booming Algoma. It won't do for me to contradict them publicly, but I have seen only one good crop a grain in six 3,'eare And that was last year. But, for dairying, :Algoma is ahead of Huron. Good pasture from spring to win- ter, cool nights, with heavy dews keep the pastures always green. Hay is generally a heavy crop ; potatoes are always a big crop when the frost don't catch them, which, I do not think is the case any more frequent- ly than in the first settlements in Huron." THOSE building will do well to examine our metallic shingles, which are better than ever and lower in pice, MULLETT & JACKSON. 1323-1 THE GOLDEN Ids:IN.—We show a special line of Flannelette this week at 6 cents per yatd, very much under its value.
