GRANGE SUPPER. — One of the
permanent institutions of this town-
ship, is the Grange, which has in-
creased in numbers so largely that it
is now the moat extensive organiza-
tions of its kind in the county, and
the "Annual Grange S'ocialy" has
become an event so important that
it is always looked forward to with a
great deal of 'Interest and anticipa-
tive pleasure, On Thursday even-
ing;last the customary social was held,
and if such were possible, it was the
very best that has been held yet.
The ladies served refreshments in the
Temperance Hall, where a supera-
bundance of good things were served
to meet the wants of all. The public
meeting was held in Bell's Hall, and
large as this place is, it was not
large enough to accommodate all
who wished to get in, being more
than jammed to the doors. The
Worthy Master, Mr H Snell filled the
chair, and* opened the meeting by a
short, practical address. A long, but
interesting program was then render-
ed; it consisted of readings, recita-
tions, humorous dialogues, character
songs, speeches, and Mr Lewis gave
an exhibition of athletic feats ou the
horizontal bar, that were well execut-
ed; Mr J Hinckley, of Constance,
amused the audience by his ventrilo-
quil powers. The humorous songs
of Mr M Floody, Hullett, and Mr'F
Schamley, Colborne, were particular-
ly good, and "brought down the
house" every time. Schamley in par-
ticular has a fine voice, and renders
with good effect some of the popular
airs of the day. The .ladies and
gentlemenof the neighborhood who
assisted in the program all performed
their parts well. Mr John McMillan,
M P, gave a good address, dealing
with matters of vital interest to the
farming community. No man stands
higher as a practical farmer than Mr
McMillan, and he always receives a
cordial reception from hie brother
farmers, as he did on the present
occasion. llr D A Forrester, of
Clinton, also gave an interesting
speech, alluding to the fact that his
business brought him so directly into
contact with the farmers, that ne
regarded himself as one of them, in
fact, he was born upon a farm, and
knew many of the ins and outs of
farm life. R Holmes also gave a
short address. Excellent order was
preserved throughout the entire pro-
ceedings, and the singing of the
national anthem brought the gather-
ing to a close.

HORSE DROWNED.—Oa Saturday
evening last a young man living near
this place, drove in to see his best
girl, so it is said, and tied his horse
in the shed of the Methodist Church.
Whether the visit was prolonged_
further than usual, and the horse•
became uneasy, is not known, but at
any rate it broke away from its fas-
tenings, ran down the hill past Mun-
roe's, and instead of turning with the
Westfield.
Nome.—Miss Louisa Carr, who has
been ill with inflammation of tbe
lunge, is recovering. Mrs Taylor, of
Guelph, is visiting her daughter, Mr
Stackhouse. at present. Mr John
Anderson, from Moutana, is house
visiting friends and acquaintances,
Maggie wears a pretty smile. Mr
James Hoover had a close call the
other day, while watering bis bull,
the animal attacked him; although
be had a fork in hie hand, the an-
imal got the better of him for a little,
as escape was impossible Jim applied
the steel to him to the best of his
ability, through courage and per-
severance he came off conqueror;
though Jim somewhat injured is able
to be around again; he will be more
careful next time. The I 0 G T of
this place is again flourishing, the
membership is increasing rapidly;
they intend holding an oyster supper
before long. James Hoover lost one
of his best cows a few days ago with
parylasis; Jim thinks fortune has
turned against him. Our highly
esteemed batchelor is beginning to
believe in annexation. Mr George
Garrett sold his thorough bred? bull
'to -M-r Radcliff for a good suw,-he
intends taking him back to Calgary
in a few weeks with him. Mr J
Quinn left for Manitoba a few days
ago. Mr R Toney is in a critical
position at present, as a tumor is gath-
ering in'ihis head, the Dra think his
case serious, but we hope to hear of
his recoyery soon. Master David
Dunbar, who got his toes frozen a few
weeks ago, is able to be around
again. Some of the -young men of
our neighborhood think it the best of
their play to keep on the gpod aide
of the old ladies, especially if they
hold reins, Another of those happy
events took place at the residence of
the bride's father, when Miss Bella
Johnston was united in holy mat-
rimony to Mr James Blackbrough, by
the Rev F Swann, both of Eaat Wa-
wanosh; we wish them the best suc-
cess in their new ei her°. Mr Ed
Taylor is making preparations for
the erection of a largo frame barn
next summer. Mr Thomas Taylor
is busily engaged putting the new
machinery into his mill; he intends
to have it running shortly. The
lecture given by the Rev Mr Scott,
of Wingham. was all that could be
desired; the gathering was not as-
large as was expected, but an enjoy-
able and profitable time was spent.
Mr Enoch Shorts, of Chatham, spent
a few days under the parental roof
last week.

Goderich Township.
ALLEGED PEnaoNATIoN.—The story is
afloat, and not without what appears to
be indisputable authority, that a certain
young man living not fax from Holmes-
ville, actually impersonated his de-
ceased fatherat, the recent election, by
voting in his father's stead. If this be
true, it is to be much regretted, as such
an act will comport very unfavorably
with his preconceived ideas of morality
as well as seriously conflict with the
instruction which he attempts to give
to others. If the law takes its course,
this young man will regret his folly.
NOTES —Willie, the youngest eon
of Mr Andrew Courtice,who has been
dangerously ill during the last few
weeks, is, we are glad to say, now out
of danger, though far from being
well. Mr Thomas Jewett has sold
his farm on the Bayfield line to Mr
Chas Stewart, for the sum of $3,800;
Charley now has the cage, we will
expect soon to hear of him getting
the bird. Mr Alf Goodwin has been
very unfortunate with one of his eyes,
during the past year, having bad to
go to Toronto last week, for the third
time, but we are glad to say it is now
improving. A few of our farmers
commenced sugar making last'Tues-
day and Wednesday, but a change in
the weather put a stop to the trade.
Mr Ben Yeo missed a pile of wood
that he had lett on his farm; Mr Yeo
has strong suspicions of certain par-
ties, and intends to prosecute to the
full extent of the law. Misses Nellie
H Harmer, of Kincardine, Sarah A
Jackson and Maggie Turney, of W est -
field, are visiting at Mr J. Colborne's,
of Goderich township; their smiles
will be much missed, but we hope
soon to see them around again, unless
Bert takes a trip to Kincardine.

cd at Toronto Police Headquarter on

news in the Clinton NEW ERA than
both of the Wingham papers.' An-
other citizen was heard to express
himself, `Did you see the Clinton
NEW ERA, why, it is fust splendid;
it is full of Wingham news.' Such is
the talk over the Wingham items.
The Winehaur Advance contained
an item last week, which charged the
NEW ERA's correspondent with ex-
aggerating the local in these columns.

to a certain McKay, and spoke some-
thing about liars hint being all dead,
andea strong case for libel. We own
we were a little severe on this unfor-
tunate, but as to the trutli sof the
paragraph, we are prepared to prove
every word it contained. The ERA's
correspondent cannot be bluffed, and
will furnish local items as long as
space will be given hits.
