Al- : though beaten I feel proud that my friends in the two northern polling sub -divisions (where I am best known) gave me the vote they did, being seventy-two votes more than our late very popu- ' lar and efficient reeve, Mr. Cook, received in last year's contest. I feel that the principle I wa8 advocating in connection with the Clerkship, waS correct and in sympathy with the feeling of thotf ntajnrity of the ratepayers. I also feel that the numb r of candidates bunched here was against me. Again thanking my friends for their unsolicited efforts in my behalf, I remain, your well-wisher;; A.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. The Result in the County and Round About us. Contest All Round in Howick. The struggle for municipal honors has been very keen this year. Every chair at the council board was contested and some of the candidates worked very hard. For the Reeveship, Messrs. Kafir e and Dulmage were opponents, Reeve Cook School, having assumed her duties on having declined re nomination. Mr. Monday last. Rev. Mr. Hughes, of Wiugham, con- ducted services in the Episcopal church last Sabbath in the absence of the pastor through illness. A number of our citizens are on the sick list. None are dangerous, however. The changeable weather is blamed for most of the trouble. We are sorry to report the serious illness of Rev. Mr. Wright, incumbent of the English church in this village. We hope to see him around again soon. Dr. Tuck was at Mount Forest this week, being called there by the serious illness of his mother. is are sorry to learn she is still without improvement. Mr. Skill, of Toronto, who has been the guest of Mr. Stevens, was taken seriously ill last week, but is now con- valescent and expects to return to his business this week. Last week a building was being re- movedfrom Mill st., and while it was ou the road Mr. W: S. Bean purchased it and had it placed on his lot opposite the Albion, where it will be fitted up for occupancy.

Donley, who has been suffer- ing with inflammatory rheumatism late- ly, is now slowly recovering. Mr. WM. McLeod has moved into the house opposite the Methodist church, vacated by Mr. J. B. Campbell. The Hm-mmason farm, on the 9th con- cession, just east of Gorrie, was pur- chased by Reeve Cook on Monday, the price paid being $4,750. Miss Jardine and Master Chester Mc- Laughlin, who have been visiting in Paisley the past week or so, returned home to Gorrie on Tuesday. The Methodist Sabbath School enter- tainment, on Christmas. -evening, drew out a packed house and was an -unquali- fled enecess in every way, nearly $100 being realized. Among the speakers was Rev. Mr. Ayers, formerly pastor of the church here. Mr. Oliveraird, of the Eagle Foundry, Parkhill, and manufacturer of brick and tile Machines-, made a short call on friends in Gorrie last week . Mr. B. owns the electric light plant in Parkhill, and while here gave much_Valuableinforma- tion to our businessmen who are talking of introducing the incandescent system in Gorrie. About the most unconcerned man in the township last week was Major Koine, the reeve -elect. Just after the nomina- tion he 'started for Goderich where he has'a law snit in progress, and after his return his -face indicated that the elec- tions were being held in Bolivia, not fiowick. He need not be ashamed of the vote Gorrie—No. 8—gave him. If he does as Veil for Gorrie during the year as Gerrie did for him on Monday NU handelthould be satilded, - At the December meeting of the Board of Directors of ' the - Howick Insurance Company, held in Gerrie on December 16th, 92 applications for insurance were accepted amounting to $80,280,being 30 applications more and $36,075 abovethe amount insured in the same mouth last year. It has been suggested that a Township Sunday School convention beheld in Howick. At the county convention this step was advised but in this township the matter has not been taken up. It is thought that much good would result from such a gathering of delegates and workers representing all denominations, at some central point. Those who favor this scheme might further its interests by leaving a note to that effect in this office; and if a sufficient number encour- age it, steps will be taken to,organize, Good Guessers. No. 6 Dulmage went into the contest in : very energetic manner, holding several meet- ings during the week in various parts of the township. His defeat by so large a majority was unlooked for by mal y, al- though it was hard to find any Ase— after the result was announced—who did not expect just about what hap' ened. The Deputy Reeveship vote also brought a surprise. Mr. Sothern is a young, though very popular man, out it was not expected that he would poll so close to Mr. Johnston who has proved so efficient a councillor during the past. The real battle, however, was for the Second Deputy Reeve's chair. Mr. Jacques is an indefatigable canvasser with a good record in municipal politics. and although he entered the field against a man with a brilliant showing in the council during the past year he managed to head the poll by a respect- able majority. Messrs. Ferguson and Graham were re-elected as councillors by hand- some majorities, but had either Mr. Littlejohn or Mr. Doig dropped out, it is thought the result would have been a very close vote among the remaining three. The two former have done ex- cellent work as councillors in the past and the support they received "ln every division showed that their services were appreciated. - The following,. -corrected from the official figures, is the RESULT OF THE VOTING : - Reeve. 1st 2nd Deputy Deputy - Reeve.

There were in all nearly 700 guesses, opinion among the com- petitors varying consderably as to the number of seeds in that pumpkin. Some had formed the idea that but few seeds would be found, one estimating as low as six, while others with vivid imagina- tions risked their chance on as high as 4,500. The majority of the guessers, however, appeared to be well up in '"punken seeds" for the great bulk of them placed the number between 450 and 625. After the -famous pumpkin had been thoroughly dissected by Messrs. S. A. Seaman and L Sanderson, it was found that it .contained the germs for exactly 556 other pie -producers. Three of the guessers—Mr. Ed. James, Mrs. Alex. Strong, and Mr. Frank Davidson —had chosen 555 as the lucky number and were thus tied for first choke of the prizes. They were then requested to make another guess when each chose. 557, thus tieing again. While a third test was being prepared the competitol- settled the matter between them, Mrs. Strong-chosing the autoharp, Mr. David- son the violin, and Mr. James the baby - carriage.
