Mr. Watson, marble cutter, of Wing ham, was in town on Monday. Miss Edie Perkins who has been o the sick list lately, is now convalescent Mr. Wm. Dane has' gold his farm south of the village, to Mr. Wm. Gregg who takes possession in March. - Reeve Keine and Deputy Reeves John n • t ston and Jacques are in Goderich a present attending county council. Mr. Thos, Green who has been seri only ill for nearly three weeks, is slight ly improved, though still very weak. Jas. Perkins,Esq.,of this village,was in Goderich early in the week on business connected with the township treasurer- ship. Mr. Con. Stroh had -the misfortune to jam his fingers in the turnip pulper on -Monday evening. The bruisedmembers were attended ta-by the doctor, but will have to be nursed for some time: Mr. W. S. Bean is having the neces- sary repairs made on the building lately placed on his Main street lot, to fit it up to receive Mr. Taman's tailoring bush ness, which will shortly be moved into It. We are pleased to learn that Mr. Ed. James. jr., who has been suffering from a combined attack of la grippe and pneu- monia lately, is now considered to be oat of danger. For some time but little hopes of his recovery were entertained. On Monday evening last no less than fourchimneys in the village were burned out during the storm. The one on the Misses Perkins' store -started up first and the excitement from this had scarcely subsided when the rear chim- ney on Mr. P. H. Shaver's shoe store (eight fire and caused some anxiety.

A short time afterwards a chimney on Dr. Armstrong's residence thought the back streets should - be represented in the pyrotechnic display so fora short time made things lively in that neighborhood but without doing any- harm. The evening- was quite a boisterous one and a fire at any of these places would -Owe causer!:, a heavy loss. Mr. Jas. Hilborn, of Preston, was in town pn Monday last, while on a visit to his uncle, Mr. A. McDermott, on the 2nd con. Messrs. Gildner and Sperling are out at present, canvassing in the interests of the People's Cheese factory. They are meeting with success. L. O. County Lodge will hold its annual meeting at Walton, on Tuesday next, Feb. 2nd. A large delegation from Gorrie will likely be present. Rev. Mr. Sinclair • will occupy the Presbyterian pulpit here and at Ford- wich for the next two Sabbaths. On Sunday Feb. 7th, the sacrament will be administered to these two congregations. Mr. and Mrs. Hanley, of Goderich township, have been visiting her sister, Mrs. T. Green, in this village, the 'past few da,s. At present they are in Har- riston spending a few days with rela- tives there. The stereopticon entertainment in the hall last Friday evening, under the auspices of the A. O. U. W., drew out a fair-sized audience. The views shown were said to be of a good class and were appreciated by those present. County councils are now in session throughout the Province. On Tuesday last Mr. John Torrance, Reeve of Stanley, was elected Warden. He is said to be a Level-headed and rising young man, a conservative, and - very popular at the Board. In Bruce Dr. Bradley, Reeve of Berwick, has been made Warden, and Wellington county has conferred that honor upon• Reeve Wissler, of Salem. Middlesex has chos- en the genial C. C. Hodgins, of Biddulph, to preside over the county council. "The Vidette 4s the only Conservative paper published in the Local riding of East- Huron."— Vidette of last week., Poor Conservatives'! Six years ago when the old Howie& Enterprise -ceased publica,tion it left " a Conservative in possession of East Huron in the Domin- ion elections, while Mr. Gibson held his seat. by a narrow,: reduced majority. Since that time, under the 'mighty (') infiuenee of the "only," both seats: are almost hopelessly . lost to tis. In the early .Stl's,"' P Howick used to roll up majorities of over 150. - The `only" has been getting in its influential work, however, and now a paltry 80 or so is all that remains of the legacy left by the old Enterprise, Bu ,' us look for better things in the futi?d. The Township Printing. As there has been considerable talk in the township over the giving of - -the printing contract by the council at their last meeting, the - GAZETTE will here state that it was offered no opportunity whatever to tender for the work. It is quite unusual for the Howick council to let their printing contract at the Janu- ary council meeting and it has been the almost invariable custom, even when there was only one printing office in the township, to let 'the contract by tender. This year, for some reason best known to themselves, the council rushed the matter through as quietly as possible amonth ahead of time, -while the editor of this paper was lying ill in his room. Whether the council were acting in the spirit of economy theyprofessed` at the nominations, or of fairness with the public funds, we leave the public to judge. One thing iso sure: the ratepayers of Howick are called.upon by the council to pay a much - larger sum for their printing this year than it would have cost them had their servants, the coun- cillors, adopted the economic plan of - calling for tenders. Howick is, possibly the only - municipality in the county which has let its printing contract for this year, and there is not the slightest public necessity for such haste, as there is no township printing required for a couple of months yet-ewhen the auditors' report is ready for the , press. Ifthe people of Howick are prepared to have their money "blown in," and if the coun- il is satisfied, theGAZETTE can stand it, The editor of this paper(notwithstanding the false stories which are being so assid- uously circulated) - is not, and never was, a Reformer in politics, but it may be as well to have it plainly understood that the GAZETTE will not be bound down by any "clique" or "ring" but will continue its course of furnishing its readers with the best and latest local news, and so fulfil the tree mission of a country joun- nal. An actual subscription list of over 400 in eight weeks is the best proof - we can ask that our course is pleasing the public. Whenever the council—or any one else—wants job 'work from ns, they will find that we are able to do it accur- ately, tastily and cheaply, - and at home. We have every facility for doing any work that can be done outside the large cities. Second Line Items. We were pleased . to see the faees of Messrs Jackson Hosey, of Lower Can- ada and Robert Hosey of Manitoba, who were spending a few days in this vicin- ity visiting their brother Mr. William Hosey. Mr., Charlie Schaefer has sold his farm to Mr. Michael Daum, and has rented the east farm of his father's. Word was received by Mr. Magee last week of the death of his ' brother - in Peel, and he left immediately to attend the funeral. Mr. Gus. Tilker- spent a few days here -visiting his brother John. Mr. T. Perry preached in Mayne church last Sunday. He gave his list- ners a very intertesting discourse. Mrs. Hosey is home again after spend- ing a few days in Palmerston with her daughter, Mrs. Best. She states that Mr. Grip is very busy there too. Mr. Emmens Porteous, of Wallace, while out hunting with Mr. Sam Fergu- son succeeded in shooting a large black fox. The animal, being only wounded took tonight, pursued closely by Sani, who succeeded after a good run in capturing him. Miss Ella Cooper is spending a few days in Alma and intends to visit Ham- ilton before returning home. The happiest man who travels the roads these times is Mr. John Lambkin, whoje. wife presented him with a son last Saturday. + We areglad to .see that the trustees of S. S. No. 11, take such an interest in the school. They have made it quite comfortable by having storm windows put-on. "Ng . doubt a couple of chairs sent*.be epprecie,ted by the tee jher as the py ones : he has to offer hie best irtnlle tomeslit a three legged. and a broken backed chair. Mr. Reichard has returned from Mich- igan accompanied by Mr. Hoover; an Evangelist, who intends holding a series of meetings in the Tunkard Church. Newbridge. Rev. Wm. Smyth, of Harriston, de- livered his popular Lecture on "Ireland and the Irish," to a good audience in the Methodist church here on Tuesday night last. - It is a glowing tribute to the Irish people and a masterly arrange- ment of the Popish system of Religion. He will repeat it in the Methodist church, Fordwich on Thursday Feb. 4th. No one should fail to hear it. The people here were delighted. The ad- mission fee will be ten cents. Wroxeter. Mr. Thos. Miller has been down with la. grippe for the past few days. The GAZETTE was in error last week. It should - have said that Mr. Arthur Robinson came Home from Harriston school en account of illness (instead of Miss Ida) The "'Young gentleman has fully recovered. Reeve Saunders started for Goderich on Monday evening to attend the county council which is - in session this week. He would make an excellent Warden. A load of the R. T. of T. visited Brus- sels one evening; last week. They .report having had a good sleighride and an excellent time at the meeting. Mr. Fred .MeDoweii has taken a peal. tion in Lee&Co.'s store, conilnenoing his duties last.Monday, .., . A party of young people who were on their way to a surprise party the other evening met with a mishap on the 9th; their sleigh being broken; but through the kindness of a neighboring farmer they got a fresh sleigh and continued their journey in happiness. - Mr: (I. Davidson is among the laid hp ones this week with grip. $s is improv- ing now. The rink is how in good order and the skaters are having a fine time. Mrs. (Rev.) Shaw it quits ill at present, Mr. Jno.

Miss Hoey, of Cartwright, has been visiting friends here. Miss Braden and Miss Connard, of Fordwich, have been visiting friends here this week. White cats are said to be specially good for mice, which no doubt accounts for the importation of a couple in our sister village the other day. Mr. John Renwick is absent from home at present attending the funeral of his Mother in Dumfries township. Belmore. -- School opened on Monday last Mr. having been engaged until Mr. Bremner recovers from his recenfaillfiess. He is expected home this week. A number of logs are being put into Mr. Gettier's sawmill. Mrs. Bennway, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Fraser, returned to ber home in Port Huron this week. - Mr. Jno. Skilling is endeavoring to organize a singing class. There are good prospects of success. [Too late for last week.] From Glen Farrow Meester Editor :—I thocht ance I wasna tae hae a ward for ye this week ave. But I hae just learned that the Presbyterians o' Wroxeter are takin' preliminary steps towards the erection of a new kirk ; and a chmmittee of shrewd beesness men are at work assid- uously lookin' up an' gettin' the price o' every available site for 't. I'm sure. sir, free the knowledge I hae o' the congregation, that they will raise superstructure warthy o' the cense ; for when we consider hoo oor forefaithers bled and died for the gran'- privileges which we moo enjoy, it becomes us o' whatever denomination tae show oor gratitude in nae stinted measure. My min' takes me awa' back till time when Solomon had peace in his barders : hoo he devoted his treasures tae the erection o' a gran' place o' wor- ship. An' as the two great pillars which stood at the porch o' the temple were symbols o' the pillars o' fire an' cloud, and placed conspiciously there that the people micht hae the happy deliverance o' their forefaithers con- tinually befor' their ee'n when gaein' tae and returnin' fra devin worship, so may it be wi' the corrin' generation in an' aroon' Wroxeter when they wha are noo villin' an' active helpers in this laudable wark will hae Bane tae their reward and left the noble structure noo in prospect an' money ither worthy deeds as stanin' moniments o' their de- votion tae a merciful Creator. Noo, Mister Editor, I'm gain' tae admit til ye that we Scotchmen are a wee inclined tae keep the -grup o' the bawbees. Still we dinna' like the idea o' playin' second fiddle tae ony ither nation ; an' I'm positively sure that the ither nationalities in connection wi' us will give verra liberally o' what is lent them for the good cause. Na doot the times are hard, an' it may cost us a gie hard struggle tae gi' a' we wad Hine, but there's nae victory if there's nae struggle, an' we are in the enjoy- ment - o' many blessings 'oor fellow creatures wad think themselves greatly blessed if they were so circumstanced.

The subject will be "Ireland and the Irish" and the lecturer, Rev. Wm. Smyth, of Harriston, This is a masterly address. He has a splendid grip on his subject and always delights his audiences. No Irishman or Orangeman should fell to hear. Seldom is the Irish question so well handled. Admission, 10 cents. An interesting service was held- in the fit No. 9 Methodist church last Sabbath evening in the shape of an open Sunday School. The children occupied the centre of the church and did the singing. The sups erintendent, Mr, Ilepinstall, conducted the lesson and the junior part of the scholars did themselves credit by their prompt and sensible answers. A short address was given at the close of the lesson by the pastor, The object of this ser€ce was two -fold, let to get the school before the public and create a sympathic interest in it. 2nd to take a collection on behalf of its funds. The collection was a good one. The Foresters' entertainment on Thursday night promises to be a good one. The Elocutionist, Prof. Abbott, comes with glowing testimonials and some excellent local talent is being secured. No one should fail to hear it. Mr. A. W. Sperling, dentist, of Toron- to, made a pleasant call upon his par- ents here early in the week. - Qt r popular post master, Mr. Mahood, has been a sufferer from la grippe for several days past. He has been able to be about most of the time but does not move with liis acustomed alacrity. We hope he will be speedily restored to his wonted good health. - Mr. Geo. Totten is drawing the brick for his new residence just east of here. Mr. Robert Elliot, who has been ill of late, is now recovered sufficiently to be out again. - Mr. Chas. Roadhouse is making pre- parations for the erection of a fine new residence next spring, The Mayne Methodist Church intend holding their anniversary.and tea -meet- ing on Wednesday evening Feb. 10th.

The machinery for Mr. Dicks' new factory has just arrived. We wish him success, as he is a good business man. T. Downey turned out a suit of clothes last week, for one of the Esquires of this locality, whosays that it is the best fit she has everted on this back, and he is a good judge. 'Ppm is a genius. We understand that Rev. Mr. Pring intends preaching next Sunday evening a sermon on the tongue, "that unruly member which no man can tame" nor woman either. We should say it is a good subject, - and quite a number in Fordwich ought to attend. Township Sabbath School Convention: Editor Gazette:—The suggestion of the GAZETTE, supported by Rev. Mr. Wright, to hold S. S. conventions in this town- ship, should get hearty support from all the churches and Sabbath School _ workers. The ninth line Sabbath School held such a convention last fall as a " local" and it was very well attended and interesting, Some years ago there was an organization in this township, but perhaps it was not pushed with the vigor required to keep it up. It did good in its day, and certainly a conven- tion called now would be timely, and - would surely meet with a general response. The Sabbath School institu- ion is a living power no church can afford to ignore, but can well afford to support and cherish. A combined„, cheerful effort of the different branches of the Christian church, would, no doubt greatly aid in this work. I would sug- gest that the ministers of the different branches of the church in the township, including Wroxeter, and a laymen chosen by each minister; be acommittee to make arrangements for such a con. vection, to be held when and where advisable.
