SoorETg„•^•The . annual meeting of the
above Society, •for the election of officers,
recetvi reports, etc., will be meld in the
Cou• •il Chamber, Clinton, on Friday,
March 11th, beginning at 10:30 o'clock
m. This meeting will be one of con-
siderable importance, dealing•with matters
relating to the further growth of the. So-
ciety, and all interested in the objects and
success ot the new Stud Book, are cordially
invited to be present.
PRopEa'rY CH-ANGEs.,-11r. W. Bruns -
don, of Londeaboro, has sold his house•and
lot an Princess street,. west,'to 14Ir.George
Johuetoo, for the silm of $600. We un-
derstand that •Mr. W. U. Searle has sold
his cottage on Rattenbury street, and the
block of land to the rear, containing'
three-quarters_ of an agile of land, to Mr.
Swarts. Mr. Searle was the last person
in the -town that we thought would sell
out, he havipg spent a great deal of labor
and means in beautifying hfs property,
however, he has still plenty on had. Mr.
Swarts has seemed a good piece of pro-
perty, as the lot will give him plenty of
yard and stabling room.
THE FIRST MEMBER.—The first parlia-
mentary election for the united counties
of Huron, Perth and Bruce wad in 1835,
but the people took very little interest in
the" ctThtest, as- •there were ;tat, .6N s • ,'„.�,�
in the whole county, those "few being
scattered at ,very wide intervals along the
Huron Road. Capt. Dunlop, Conserva-
tive, was the successful candidate, his-op-
ponent
isop-
ponent being Col: An'hony VanEg-
mond, (falser of the VanEgmonds' still
living) Who was a radical supporterof the
doctrines of the agitators in Upperjiluada.
In 1854 Perth became an .independent_
county, when the late T. M. Daly was re-
turned as supporter of the Hinck's Ad-
ministration.
COUNCIL —A special meeting of the
town Council was held on Friday eveniug
last, to receive the report of the commit-
tee on officers and Reeve duties, who
recommended that to the duties hitherto
done by Ovachiefcons'able, and collector
of taxes be added that of bell ringer, at
a salary of $400 ; they also recommended
that the position of caretaker of the weigh
scales and lamp lighter be combined at a
salary of $250, and that L.-Trouse be ap
pointed thereto. The council adopted
the report, and also decided to dispense
with the rioging of the bell at 7 o'clockCin
the evening. The pay -roll of the Fire
Company, for the half-year ending Fel.
15, and amounting to $65 was passed.
INSURANCE.—We beg. to call attention
to the annual statement of the Mutual
Life -Insurance Company of .New 'York,
which appears elsewhere in this gaper.
This company is one of the most reliable
in the world, and its assets foot up to the
immense sum of $114,181,963.24. During
last year alone it has paid out to policy
holders ;and in annuities over $13,000,000.
It is wealthy, pays losses promptly, and is
iii every way- thoroughly reliable. F.
3ctllo .ay is agent for Wingham, and any
information respicTiErfft a"compaa'y' avid-'
be cheerfully furnished by him. We under-
stand that Mr Holloway is desirous of
securing 4 good liye agent for Clinton and
vicinity, Folk will give liberal terms to a
suitablepan.
SNOW BLOCBADC.-Although very
little snow fell on Fridaynight last, the
wind carried what did fall into such a
solid mass that. on Saturday trains on the
London, Huron & Bruce found progress
exceedingly,ditHcult. The morning train,
south; didriot.reach.here.u_nt /_four o'clock
in theafternoon, and the morning train
no th did not get here until late in thiel,,,
afternoon and then it had three engines
and a snow plow on. On° Sunday a regu-
lar nor -wester blizzard, clear from Dakota,
struck £his ideality ; it snowed, and it
blowed, .and it blowed and it snowed, for
all it was' worth. As a consequence roads
north !tnd south were badly drifted. On
Monday morning a snow plow started
south from Wingham. butwhen near
Belgtave it ran i.ff tbe•track. The morn-
ing London train got as far as Exeter, but
not being able to come any further, re-
turned to London. The snow plow was
not replaced until Tuesday,. when, after
-considerable difficulty, itcleared the line,
and trains were able to run in the evening,
as usual. This bar} been a bard winter on
the railroads, blockades on the London,
Huron & Bruce being of common. occurr-
ence. Several from Goderich and else-
where, who wanted to get to Blyth for
the announced S. S. Convention, on
Tuesday morning, were delayed here, and
finally went out by conveyance. The
people of thls section 'have had all the
severe weather they care for this season,
and will raise a complaint it they have
to put up with " fair to middling".weather
for the balance of the winter.
