Editor Gazette :—I had intended to
say nothing more re the township hall,
but after reading Mr. Cook's letter, am
forced, in justice to myself, to contra-
dict and refute a letter which is a tissue
of misstatements from first to last. He
says I was troubled with a guilty con-
science. Admitting this statement to
be true, (which it is not) this was not a
matter of conscience, but purely a mat-
ter of business. I believed the/ had a
legal right to the hall, and do so now,
however it may clash -with my private
views.
Mr. Jas. McGrath started on Tuesday
last for Winnipeg where he will take a
position in M. C. Yeo's tailoring estab-
lishment.
Messrs. John and Robt. Pentland, and
and Mr. A. P. Sheppard and sister, of
Nile, are guests at Major Kaine's this
week. Mr. Shepperd taught's,. the
Orange Hill school for several years so
is well known here,
Mr. Jos. Smith, of Saskatoon, N. W.
'1'., is visiting in town this week. He
has grown wonderfully since he left
here with his parents in '85. While
surprised at the improvements made in
Howick, he expresses a warm feeling
towards his far away home.
Mr. Harry- Day intends to start for
Scotland with another consignment of
horses in a couple of weeks. We under-
stand that Mr. John Hooey, who is a
king among the Manitoba horsemen,
will also try the experiment of a ship-
ment to the Glasgow markets.
Mr. J. Waterhouse has sold out -his
stock of woollen goods- to Mr. J. R.
Williams, and has accepted a positien
as foreman of Duftort's woolen mills in
Mitchell. tar. Williams now has the
goods displayed in connection with his
large furniture business, and we invite
attention to his large advertisement in
another column of this issue. _
It is expected that there will be a
large attendance of farmers at the bind-
er -twine meeting in the town hall here
to -day (Thursday) afternoon, at 2
( , s.s. We are not yet informed of
the names of the speakers who are to
address the meeting but they are men
well informed on the question and well
qualified to post those who attend on
this important question. ,
Mr. C. C. Keine, son of John Keine,
Esq., of this village, occupied the
Methodist pulpit on Sunday evening,
preaching a powerful sermon- with an
eloquence which surprised his many
friends and former schoolmates. here.
Mr. Keine is studying for the ministry,
being at present stationed on a mission
circuit near Brandon, Man., and the
rapid progress he is making presages a
brilliant and useful future for him. We
understand he is to return this week to
his duties in the Northwest,
Now, he says, what are the facts?
Mr. Cook does not deny asking me iuto
Campbell's hotel to talk over the matters
He certainly did do so before I ever
broached the subject ; and does he dare
to say that it was not talked of by the
council previous to seeing me ? I think
not. I say Mr. Cook did put the ques-
tion to the councillors individually and
received the answer " no " from every
one of them, which I can prove by
themselves. He says he asked me if I
thought my course was consistent, and
that in his opinion I had overstepped
my duty in renting the hall. I give this
a most unqualified denial. Mr. Cook
never used such words in my hearing,
and it is purely a fabrication. And
more: before going to the hall Mr. Cook
authorized me to tell Mr. Walker that
they could not hate the hall. Then he
says every member expressed himself
opposed to granting the hall. Now, I
am 'informed that one member of the
council expressed himself in favor of
granting it. How is this, M. Reeve?
The facts prove that Mr. Cook did swal-
low his own words. Now, my dear
friend, you should have let the weather-
cock business alone. Who is the
weather -cock, I ask ? I rented the hail
first ; the couucil took it out of my
hands and said "no, you can't have it,"
theneafter a little more talking, "Oh
well., I guess we will leave it with Mr.
Clegg and Mr. Walker to settle," and
the weathercock sits plume on the little
Dutchmen' head. Nothing can daunt
him, he says, from doing his duty. How
brave he is inhis own town—in his own
barnyard,—but it is like the morning
dew, soon passes away.
Then the consideration he has for the
Gorrie Methodist Church 1 If that were
a fact why did he not write an open let-
ter to the Methodists of Gorrie? No,
but he must write a whining letter to
Mr. Bean, " Dear Mr. Bean, do not
blame us for the naughty acts of Mr,
Clegg. We know you feel so bad, and
in sentiment if not in word, we do not
want anything to occur that might have
a tendency to militate against us in the
future."
Now, a word about Mr. Cook's con-
sistency. I noticed to -day a poster con-
.
taining an announcement of a coneert
in Fordwich, the entertainment to con-
sist of = negro performances, clog and
boot dancing, to be presided over by B.
S. Cook, Esq., Reeve lot Howick. Oh,
consistency, thou art sijewel I
Now, Mr. Editor, as Mr. Cook accuses
me of having selfesteem, I am thank-
ful that I have at least sufficient -to keep
me from slinging dirt through the pub-
lic Fess, besides Mr. Qoo ie the last
man that should attempt anything of
that kind considering the public position
he occupies.
If Mr. Cook wishes to continue this
discussion I have lots of ammunition
left. Yours,

All able young men within a radius of
five miles from Lakelet were at it.
They cut enough of wood to last the

able nittnre.
Again the Patrons met with hard

and the roads were blockaded. The

meeting were unable -to be presents
Nothing daunted, those who were pres-

Organizer; Mr. Malloy, or the highest
officers in connection with the society
could have ameliorated matters after
they were through. Messrs. Ferguson,
Nay, Hamilton, Holman, and Woods
waxed eloquent, for a considerable time,
each trying to excel his predecessor,
and gave those present such informa-

the enthusiasm manifested and the
determination to stay together in the
future, it -is quite evident that the
Patrons though few in number here are
not discouraged. Arrangements were
made to attend the meeting in Gorrie
on the 16th, and should the day be such

-A very pleasant. time was spent at the
residence of Mr. John Scott on Satur-
day night by the members of the church
and the L 0. G. T. Myles, son of Mr.
Scott, having resolved to -go to Toronto
and sever his connection from all the
positions which he held here, his
friends assembled on Saturday night
presented him with an address and
purse containing a good sum of money.
ADDRESS.
Mr. Myles Scott :
Dear Friend— It having become
generally known that you had decided
to take your departure from among
your many friends here, immediate
action was taken to show you that the
exemplary life you have led, and the
cheerful aid you have given at all times
to all good causes merits some appreci-
ation. ,
In the Sunday School and in the
church here, you have always been an
important factor, and by your regularity
and punctuality have been a star
example. As organist for the past two
year, you have given proof of your rare
musical talents, aud have made the in
spired. word more efficacious by your
leading so well in the tunes sung. To
replace you in that capacity will be a
task which, at present seems difficult to
solve.
In the temperance cause you have
taken an exceptionally active part, and
at our open meetings filled a place
which none other among us could
attain. From the minor officers you
rose to fill very acceptably for two
quarters the highest which our Order
offers. At a time when any of our
number wavered, you took a keen
interest in their welfare and was one of
the first to make a personal appeal to
them.
When we consider all the foregoing
and the esteem which you are held by
-the public, we deemed it unjust to let
you leave us without some way - of
showing our regard for you. Be
pleased then to accept this purse, and
however insignificant in itself, it con-
veys with it our kind feelings for you,
and trust you may cherish it.
You carry with you the best wishes
of all for a prosperous and edifying
time at your calling_ in Toronto, and
trust that the same wise Providence
who has endowed you with YOur musical
talents, may also guide and lead you
while in the pursuit Of raising them to a
higher standard.
The city society will have an honored
member in your person, and it is
Lodge.

Mr Scott feelingly
donors for their kindness,
them he would never forget his friende
at Lakelet; the choir where harmony
always existed; the Lodge, where he
had spent so many and profitable hours.
Lithe performance of his duty that his
services had been so appreciated, he
considered it one of the happiest
thoughts of his existence.
Short speeches were then delivered
by four or five of those present, and 'the
ladies who had come with baskets
laden with all the latest delicacies
attended to their part A few hours
were then spent in the most sociable
way, till the clock proclaimed the near
approach of Sunday, when all dispersed,

Neepawa, Manitoba.
It is a long time since I had a word
with THE GAZETTE, and to -night I feeL
like renewing an acquaintance. I am,
very pleased to see by the GAZETTE
that Gerrie and Wroxeter have each,
through the enterprise and Christian
zeal of the inhabitants in and around,
built churches which are a credit to
them. My desire is that they be filled
with a people zealous for the kingdom,
whose zeal and energy for the good
cause will be equal to the efforts put
forth to construct the splendid build-
ings. Their labors will then not be
lost, but duly rewarded.
We, in Manitoba, have just came
through a terrible siege with " John
Frost." The oldest settlers here have
never experienced the like before;
and those who have been only a short
time in the country will, I think, have
no desire for a repetition of the ordeal.
I am quite satisfied with the amount of
cold I have felt; indeed I had the con-
ceit taken quite out of me when it got
to 40 below zero with an high wind ;
while carrying in a few aimfulls of
wood from quite near the door heel all
that was exposed of my ears froze ; and
in going to the front street shortly
afterwards—going most of the way
backwards—against the north wind,had
my cheek frozen. But when the
thermometer registered 62 degrees be
low zero, I thought very seriously of
taking the first train for the Pacific
coast. To -night is the first that we
could slack off firing up our very best
for over two weeks. I don't know how
people have got along who have inferior
houses ; for I have a good one and the
amount of fuel I have consumed by two
stoves is unprecedented by me: but we
were comfortable.
We have a heavy body of snow on the
ground, but not at all evenly distributed,
and drifts are very solid. We can't see
a pretty snow storm here ; I might say
the word snowflake seems to be of little
use here, the snow being more like pure
white sand.
Business has been almost at a stand
since the cold snap came, and the roads
must now be about out of all reason, as
the blow has been almost continuous
whichever direction it came from.
The financial state of the country is
at very low ebb, owing to the very bow
prices; and in this locality the clops
were considerably under the average.
It is impossible to get money from the
farmers, at least many of them, for
they have not the wherewith to raise it.
The heavy snow, it is said is the
precursor of 'a heavy crop, and if it
holds good it will be a welcome blessing
to the sorely harrassed farmers, and
wit -bias cordially welcomed by busi-
DOSS men.
We have considerable scarlet fever
and measles in town; the school has
been itt a manner dosed through the
cold spell, but I hear to -day that it has
been closed for two weeks to come
owing to the above mentioned troubles.
