EGMONDVILLE NOTES. This week we
have again another dea to record, Mrs.
Papple, who had. been a se ere sufferer for
several weeks, having pass d quietly away
on Friday morning last. he old lady had
lived alone most of the ti e for many years,
but during her last ilin,ess as removed to
the residence of her son-' -law, Mr. Alex-
ander McKay, where she r eeived the most
kindly attention. The r mains were in-
terred in our cemetery o# Saturday last.
Thus the ranks of our a ed residents are
being rapidly thinned, t is winter, so far,
having been especially evere on those
suivanced ie, years. -Mr. T oma.S.Hills sold
his fine -young coach hoi e last week for a
handsome sum to Mr. Ro •rt Wilson, of
Seaforti. Mr. Wilson shiaped to England
on Saturday last with seve, others, most of
them raised by himself.- 'ter considerable
comment on things in gener I and toddy in
particular in last, week's i ue, Leadburv
,asks, " What sayeth c Egmondvilfe
writer to all this." Well, fri nd, we ea not
flatter your Vanity, and musteltell the tr th,
so w sa that such sentim nts tend but
little,to gnify human mature, and ref ect
less hono on the writer who penned th tn.
It, is a st a,nge }paradox to see a man ' iVe
moral sopport to a bad business and yet
expr s gratitude at seeing it decay ngf
And o what is this deeline in the tr fhe
due, if not to the persistent efforts of
"temperance faddists" in the line of m ral
suasion and legislative enadment. 'o,
frie,nd, we have not one harsh word to ay
of liquor dealers, it is only their busi ess
legalitzed by the indifference of professe Ily
christian men, which we condemp. Sur ly,
you must realize that the abuses which you
'meetion, are frequently -the result of o er
indulgence in toddy and kindred mixtu es.
If net, why do our best' authorities at-
tribute, at least, three fourths of our cri es
to this cause ?--The communion services in

MR. LAPSL1E'S SALE. -Mr. Thomae La
slie's sale on Wednesday last was a most d
cided success, particularly as to the eurnhe
of people present; bidding was brisk and
prices obtained were on the whole verY
good. The fine day was conducive to A
large attendance, and people from far an
near were present, and it is, stimated tha
nearly 1,500 people assemble at the farm,
some to' purchase, others to look on an
have a day'a outing. Steers brought fro
$16 to , $35, and cows Sold rom $30 u
Horses ranged in price from 5 all the wa
up to $230, while farm imple ents went at,
good prices. Messrs. Charl a Aitzel an
A. Chaelesworth purchased ] the trottin
stallion, Tarantum, paying fbr him $230.
The farm was put up for sal , but as the

WHERE He RPURHEY IS. -DEAR EXPOSI-
R,-I saw in your last isaue a communica-
n from Toronto, to County Clerk Me-
nald, of Goderich, asking where Harpur-
y was, as there was no mention of it on
y map he could find. Now I have in my
ce, a map of the county of 'Huron, litho-
phed by Chewett & Company,of Toronto,
which every farm lot, and the occupant
ie,t is printed, as well as every village
ll - • A.l. _ „ _
is there also. The late Dr. `Chalk, wgo
s among the first settlers in Huron, . gave
he name of Harpurhey, as thet was the
me of the little town in England where
was born. Any one wishing to see the
p can do so at my office. Harpurbey, in
prime,' had 5 stores, 2 taverns, 2 black-
iths, 2 carpenters, 3 shoe -makers 2
gon-makers, 2 tailors, 1 weaver, 2 liar-
s -makers, 1 tinsmith,- 1 furniture store,
actors, 1 church, division court, but no
yet s -happy state. Yours, EDWARD
Under the contemplated arrangement, we
woUld have a mail service from the places
hained twice a day. This would be a great
convenience to our merchants and the pub-
lic , generally, and we are certain that the
4mount of mail sent from here, as well as
from other points along the line, would jus-
tify theauthoritiea in placing a mail ear on
the train going east at three o'clock in the
afternoon, and one on the night train going
west.
