The mild, sunny weather of Tuesday, Wednes- day and Thureda7y, followed hya heavy rain on Friday and Friday night softened up the snow and caus- ed quite a freshet. The ditches and water courses were filled with water and many of the cellars in different parts of the town were flooded to such an extent in some in.stances as • to put out the furnaces. Cellars that .were never known to be flooded be- fore had a considerable depth of water in them, as the drains .leading from them were not sufficient to carry away the immense flow of water. The stables .of many farmers in this vicinity were also so flooded by the melting ofi the unusual ac- cumulation of snlow around there that the stock had to be removed from them.. Fortunately the [rain was followed by a freeze up on [Sat- urday. This gave the water a chance to get away and tillayed the flood. The difficulty was aggrevated by t1ie. ice in the river which is the main outlet from the town not yet having left it, thus helping to dam back the flow of the water. But,although a great deal of the snow disappeared there is still a hit left and if heavy rains should come before it is re- moved, people may expect another flood about as had as the last. The country roads were made almost im- passable. The snow got, so soft that horses broke through and got. mired and when the frost came there was a high ridge of ice in the centre with tracks, cut so deeply and so narrow that a horse could not get footing in them and if the animal stepped off the side in some pieces it would al- most go down out of sight. Ae a re- sult of the bad roadie about the only way farmers could get to town was to walk and as most of them do not care for enforced exercise of this kind, they remained at home and business was consequently dell. The Brussels „stage gat in Friday but was unable to get back until Saturday. Even Conductor McGee, Of the Bay- field Express had to abandon his cosy covered sleigh and come down to a one horse cutter. The busiest man around town was Major Ander- son, who was kept on the go shovel- ling ont drains in the snow drifts so URON 'EXPOSITOR et the Be t. 011111•612.1•..., • Whether for -garden or farm, you ono% afford to do anyguessvrork in regard to seeds.

The flood on East Goderich street was so bad Friday night that the water was running across the road and Mrs. Halpin had to remove from her resi- dence as the water had gained pos- session. However, things are gradu- ally getting better and we were not nearly so badly off as were the peo- ple in Toronto, London, Wpodstock and many other places. One good thing it enabled the town authorities to get the walks on Maii street freed from ice and made saf to walk on and also gave an opport nity for the scraping of Main- street. • '- - Travellers. -The following were ticketed to distant points this week by W.

After her arrival she sang at a grand, welcome home con- cert in Glasgow, given inher hon- or :ender the distinguished patronage and auspicies of , the Scottish and Highland Societies in the west of Scotland. On January 23rd, she ap- peared before the largest audience ever assembled in Great Britain at a Scotch concert, in Albert 'ball, Lon- don-. There were over ten thous- and people present. It was a great triumph for Scotch songs to be able to bring out such a vast crowd in the city of London, whoa there was not a single English item on the programme. • A Growing Business. -Mr. W. H. Willis has purchased the property at the back of the store occupied by bim, and purposes, as soon as the weather will permit, erecting a two story building fifty feet long and the fullwidth of his store. This build- ing will take the place of the pres- • ent one story, building and will be Used exclusively for the manufacture of leggings. This part of Mr. Wil- lis' business has grown to such pro-, portions as to require considerably more room, both for a larger num- ber of hands, and for more machin- ery. It may be somewhat of a sur- pdise to many to learn that we have such an industry in town, and yet during the busy season last year, Mr. Willis employed in the neighborhood of twenty hands,- arid his output was over 10,000 pairs of leggings. While in New York recently, Mr. Willis purchased new machinery of the very latest designs to enable him to put his prodent oh the market to the best advantage. We trust that his business will continue to grow and that before many more seasons have gone he will still further have teen- ier:4-m his premises. His ,business a- bility and enterprise deserve this: s The Maccabees Concert. -The cons . cert under the auspieee of the Sea - forth Lodge of Maccabees, in Card- ne'fi hall, on Tuesday evening,- at, tlrikettql e good orovrd, and the qual- ity of. the programa certainly de- served- a big house, Mr, IL B, erano introduced the artists in a neat speeok and at the same time put J/4 I good word for the Maoaebees as a fraternal society, That Mrs, liar- g'ruveu, the eeprano soloist, Of the evening, ling gained a wide popular- ity in Seeforth, wait fully manifest - (id by her 'reception that e,vening, and new laurels are hers for her ex- cellent and pleasine renditions, MP, Roy Willis, Oho is just making his first appearance as a vocalist, sang very pleasingly.
