SCHOOL MATTERS. -The fall pro- motion examinations were held in S. S. No. 10 on the 16th and 17th of October, in which the pupils showed excellent work, and the greater num- ber attained the honor of being pro- moted. The trustees of the school have secured the services of Mr J. Harnwell as teacher for the ensuing year, at a salary of $400, as he has discharged his duties to the sattiefac- tion of the people.

Cae'ip 1? ANOTHER ACCOUNT. - Although we gave an account of this last week, we publish the following by request: The tea meeting, held on the 27th of October, at Cole's appointment, int meat , was a great success, although the weather was unfavorable and roads very dis- agreeable. After tea was served Mr J. Beacom occupied the chair for the evening's entertainment. The choir was in attendance, and was very effi- cient in its selections. Speeches were given by the Rev Mr Walker and others. A report of the Sunday School work and expenses was read by the superintendent of the school, which was quite satisfactory. On the following evening a social was given, at which Mr P. Cole took the chair, and gave a short address, after which dialogues and recitations were given. Music was furnished partly by the choir,but chiefly by the children of the Sunday school, under the able leader- ship of Mise Lizzie Ell iott,who spared no pains in practising them for the occasion. Mr Cook gave a short ad- dress on Sunday school work, and also on the unity of love which should exist among one another, placing great stress on the,opposite sex. The proceeds, which amounted to $34, are in aid of the Sunday School work. East Wawamosh. Blyth.

At the close, as with one consent, almost the entire audience consecrat- ed 1t ed themselves afresh to he Master. Afterward the sacrament was administered to a large number. It was said by many to be the best quarterly meeting service they had ever attended. In the afternoon the Sabbath school was addressed b of Halton. Mr B.

Blyth people will not easily set aside the influences of these services. We are sure if the conductor ever appears in a Blyth pulpit again, he will have a packed church. Many crowded around him in the evening to thank him for sermons that bad helped them so greatly. Mr Andrew Reid's sale, on Thurs- day of last weer, though the day was rough, was fairly attended; horses went at a fair price, cows reached the cum of $40, calves, :$i1 each; two year old steers sold at $64 to $70 per pair, and the hammer was wielded by Dir T.

The chief business of the day was payment of accounts. 37 accounts amounting to over $900,were passed and paid. Mr Colbert presented a claim for damage to a bridge caused by the deepening of the creek, under by law "A." His former claim was the cost of building a:new bridge viz $24.75. His present one is for damage to the old bridge to the same amount. The council thought the amount claimed absurdly high and refused to pay it, and gave Mr Colbert his choice, of ten dollars or arbitration. The council will meet at Daly's Hotel on Dec. 2nd, at one o'clock, when it is hoped all accounts due and payable by the township will be presented and set- tled. SGML. SMILLIE, Clerk. Wingham.

Professor Wilson, known to fame as Christopher North, had a merry twinkle in his eyes, when warning his students against snowballing in the neighborhood of the college, Edin- burgh, but his large, kind heart would have revolted at the eight of snowballs aimed at the aged or help- less in anyway. Christendom of the middle ages was so anxious to omit no one in her roll of saints, that she caused the first of November to be known as All Saints Day, and thus it came to pass that Hallow Etre fell upon Friday last, when Wingham's roystering boys were holding high carnival of Billy, aim- less, yet wicked mischief. Their, Wolf -like ululation scared a cracks - man armed with tools, unknown to Jack Shepherd and so deftly used that he had all but looted Scott & Halsted's safe.

The Misses Anderson and Gordon, the delegates from "Calvin," church, attended the Sabbath School Convention in Wing- bam last week, Mrs Sanderson's two daughters, Ellen and Sarah (who came lately to reside in this plane) and Miss M. A. Curran left this week for Detroit, where they intend staying for the present. The tea -meeting and social in connection with Christ church was quite a success considering the disagreeable weather and muddy roads. We are sorry to say that our esteemed merchant, Mr R. K. Miller, is at present on the sick list, but hope soon ;to hear of his recovery. Mr W, J. Todd, eon of Mr Thos Todd, who was in business at Mani- toulin Island, brought back with him a fine yoke of oxen. A happy event took place at the residence of Mrs Joseph Radcliffe, whenn herds daughterhter Josephine and Mr Williams only son of the late John Cameron,were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony, the Rev R. S. G. Anderson performing the ceremony; We wish them a long and happy life. FIRE. -The building in the Watson block, occupied by Messrs D. B. Mc- Kinnon, George Powell, and S. H. Gidley had a very narrow escape from being destroyed by fire, on Thursday evening of last week. The fire com- menced in the upper part, through a defective pipe, and was not noticed until it had gained considerable head- way. The firemen were on hand in good time, and did excellent work. We learn that the few growlers. who said we did not need a fire company, are more than satisfied with the work done on this occasion. We have no hesitation in saying, had there been no engine or company, that whole block would have been destroyed, and perhaps several other buildings in that vicinity. The loss, both to building and stock, is fully covered by insurance. 7EHolmesviUe.

No cabbage, pumpkins. rails, , stumps, etc. Nor yet was th re any wires or ropes across the sidewalks or roads, no tapping at windows as if robbers were outside. no hooting and yelling. In fact everything primed off very nicely. Perhaps there was diving for apples in tube of water, taffy pulls, oyster suppers, if not, these last named will come later on. NOTES. -Dr Whitely, of Goderich, was in town on the evening of Satur- day last, examining candidates for the Order of Workmen, with what result your deponent sayeth not. Mr Thos. Lobb visited London on Mon- day last, on business. The quarterly meeting held in the Methodist church here, on Sabbath last, was only sparsely attended, owing to, the in- clement weather, and almost impass- able state of the roads; the receipts of the quarterly board were, however, considerably in advance of last year. Farmers in this locality are somewhat taken aback, owing to the stormy weather; a large quantity of roots, such as turnips and potatoes, are yet in the ground, under the snow. It was interesting,,if not amusing, to see the large flakes of snow falling on Sabbath morning; some ot them in- cluded an area of nearly four square inches. Many of the farmers are repairing to the almanac, to see when we are to have Indian summer; they say it will begin about the 2011 inst. Mr R Stanley, who has been visiting his uncle, Mr Wm Stanley for three weeks, left for Kinburn, on Friday morning. Mr Jake Connell and wife, of Clinton, were in the village last week. Robt Twist has been in the employ of Wm Mulholland,.for about a weer. Mr Chester Yerex arrived here on ;Friday last, for the purpose ot telling another year's account in the huhess oats business. At the Bible Society meeting held id Clinton, Mesers A Osbaldeston and H Elford were appointed collectors for this sec- tion. We felt quite loot for a few days last week, when the rope got unhinged from the school bell, but feel all right again now it is in work- ing order. Whose fault is it that so many mistakes occur in the delivery of the mail here; twice last week we were disappointed in not receiving mail properly; on Thursday we got Goderich mail in place of our own, and Saturday we received no letters at all; the postal clerk must be for- getting himself a little. Mr Wm Stanley and wife were in Kinburn on Saturday, visiting the former's mo• ther, who is very i11. Mr David Hal• stead, of Wingham, is spending a few days with friends here. Richard Errit has left Albert Halstead's, and\ bus taken a job of cutting wood for the winter, in Colborne. Mies Bertha Scott, of Clinton Collegiate Institute, spent Sunday in,the village. Messrs Philip Potter and Wm Jenkins are on the road selling a washing ma- chine; we do not know which makes the better salesman -perhaps both. i Our boot and shoe manufacturer is on the sick list. The W.F. M.S. was ai held at the parsonage on Wednesday afternoon. Mr J. R. Holmes left last week again with a car load of borne, implements, harness, a c•, for Mani- toba. Rev W. Ayers attended a committee meeting in Clinton, on Tuesday. Ed Swarts bag a new host- ler; Ed does not believe in working any mole than he can help. Thanks- giving service was held in the Epis- copal church, on Thuisday, at 10.30 a.m. One would think a village ot our size could run a sidewalk, but no, none of the men belonging to our noble council live in the village, and therefore do not see fit to grant our request. W. J. Lobb sent an extra large shipment of fowl and game to Toronto, for Thanksgiving. Miss L. Whiteman, after spending two or three weeks here, returned to her home in Kipper• on Monda,7.

A large number of persons were present. and the bride looked as bewitching and handsome as any bride ever did.

Noras.-Our doctor looks some- what strange those few days back, he looks as though he was taking the matremonial fever; be careful doc. as it is going here at present, and only one remedy, but a sure cure. The Rev Godfry preached a sermon to the Orangemen of this place on Sunday evening last, Mr Godfry is an able speaker and his discourse was much appreciated by those pres- ent. We think it would be well for ,our merchant, Charlie, to take pattern of our Bluevale merchant, and do like wise, the old heads tor the hard roads, Charlie. Our tinker seems to be very lonely these few days, the roads are bad and the nights dark, but never mind, Jack, there .may be sleighing before long, and then your six mile drive will seem but three.

MR EDITOR. -I wish to deny the statement made in last week's paper, under the heading of Collegiate notes, regarding the Collegiate Model foot ball club. After the match was play- ed in Clinton, between Clinton and this village, they promised to play a return match here, on a peice of ground which you might call a foot ball field. We acknowledge we were badly beaten, but consider it no great thing for a town to do, when they have such a choice to choose from, compared to ayillage. We wished to play two weeks after the former match, as a number of our old mem- bers would be home, and wrote them that we wanted to play at this time. We received word back that a num- ber of the boys were away. We found out afterwards this was an untruth or excuse. We received word some time after tbie that they wished to play that return match on Thursday, at 4 p.m. We answered, all right, come along. The boys left work at noon, and were ready to play at the stated time, but to and behold ! Clinton did not show up. Reason given, did not receive your card in time, which wo found to be the same as the first, an untruth. We, as a club, never make a practice of making excuses. 1 remain, MEMBER B. F. C. Westfield.
