Golro AHEAD. — The Mitchell
Advocate has entered on the 32od

the New ERA is Grit, which is say.
ing a good deal.

HURON'S REPRESENTATIVES.
I The Globe of Saturday contained
portraits of all the members of the
Ontario Legislature, with short bio.
graphical sketches of the members.
It was well written, and the illustra.
tions being good, it would be an in-
•teresting number to preserve. Hu-
ron's representatives are thus alluded
to :—
Arch. Bishop,
CONTRACT LET.—Mr S. S. Cooper
has been awarded the contract for the
woodwork of Mr Arthur Cook's new
house on Albert street. The house is
to be built on the American plan,and 1
as Mr Cooper is himself the architect,
it will be.,a fineresidence, it_ is_tn be.
completed early and will make a de.
cided improvment to that part of the
street. Sam declares his determina-
tion to put his best foot forward in
this job, and that means good work.
BIRTHDAY PARTY.—Last Tuesday
evening, the house of A. Hillen pre-
se4ted quite a lively scene, it being
e=•.apniversary of his daughter
zzie's birthday. About twenty
young people met and tripped the
light fantastic toe until the wee
oma hours, all well pleased with
their evening's pleasure. Lizzie has
been long and favorably known as
the very obliging waiter at the Rat-
tenbury House.
A CUTE BIRD.—A canary owned
in town has been trained to work for
its living in rather a cute way. If it
wants a drink of water it gets it by
hauling up a small bucket, attached
to a chain, and it hauls it up by
catching the chain in its bill, pulling
it up as far as it can, holding it from
slipping by its foot, and repeats the
operation until the bucket is high
enongb for it to help itself. In the
same way it hauls up a tram car con-
taining grain.
BUSINESS CHANGE,—Mr J. C. Gil-
roy has purchased and taken posses-,
sion of the business of Mr John Wise-
man. Mr Gilroy is well known
to the people of this vicinity,
he having been engaged in business
here before, and having resided in
the place for a number of years,
though he bas been "on the road"
for a considerable length of time.
He has the name of being a hustler,
and as he intends to make his location
here permanent, will do his utmost to
merit and retain the confidence of the
public. Mr Wiseman has not yet de-
cided what he will do or where he
will go, but all will regret his leaving
town, as both himself and wife are
popular and highly esteemed, and
their places will be hard to fill.
OBITUARY. —In the death of Mrs
Noble Whitely, which occurred in
Clinton, on Monday, the 611 inst,
this community loses one of its oldest
residents, she being at the time of het
death at the advanced age of 88
years. The deceased was born in
Cagan, Ireland, in the infancy of
the present century; when quite
young she came to Montreal, where
she became the wife of the late Noble
Whitely, who died in the year 1880.
In the year 1836 she came with her
husband to this county, and settled
in Goderich township, west of
Holmeeville, and there spent an un-
eventful but busy and happy life,
assisting her husband in the work of
the farm. Shortly after the death of
her husband she moved to Clinton,
where she has since lived with her
adopted child, who is now the wife
of Mr James Scott. Mrs Whitely
leaves a large circle of relatives and
friends to lament her death.
MILLINERY OPENINGS. — The
weather of Saturday last being raw
and cold, was rather against the
Spring Millinery openings, and not
at all in harmony with the thought
of lighter headgear; still, the atmos-
phere'did not prevent a very large
number of people from coming out
and visiting the different establish-
ments that had announced "open-
ings." The sight seers were not con•
fined to the female persuasion alone,
others of the stronger sex being
among the number who feasted their
eyes on the very latest shapes and
styles. To enumerate the exhibits is
something that we are not capable of
doing. An immense amount of
trouble had been gone to in decorat-
ing the different premises, and
the, effect was such that express-
ions of pleasant surprise were heard
on all bands at the attractions and
beauty realized. The lately prevalent
style of broad bats seems to give place
this season to hats of the other ex-
treme of amallenese, while flowers
will be more generally worn than ever.
A commendable and pleasing result
of the opening was that the different
business men interested in the several
displays, made a friendly visit to each
other's establishments, thus showing
a fraternal good will that should al-
ways prevail, no matter bow keen
business rivalry exists.
The Riding of South Huron has
been represented since 1873 continu-
ously by a Reform member in the
person of Mr Archibald Bishop. He
is of ,'Scottish birth, first seeing the
light near Edinburgh, on September
6th, 1829. He came to Canada in
1849, and for some time resided in
Ontario county,' but removed to the
farm he now occupies, near Exeter,
in 1854. He was married in 1857 to
Miss -Janet,- second daughter- of the
late Robert Doig. In 1862 he entered
municipal politics. and was reeve of
Usborne from 1863 to 1874. In 1872
'and 1873 he was warden of Huron,
and was first returned to the Legisla-
ture in 1873, on the retirement of the
Pitting member.
.1. T. Garrote.
Mr J. T. Garrow, Q. C., the new
member for West Huron, is in all
respects a eon of the soil. He was
born at Chippewa, Welland county,
in 1843, and spent his youth as s
farmer's boy. When about ten, 1,, -
removed, with his father's family 1„
Huron county, and settled on a farm
there. After studying law in Gode•
rich he was called to the bar in 1868,
and became a junior partner of Mr
M. C. Cameron, the present member
for West Huron in the Commons.
This firm was dissolved" in 1874, and
Mr Garrow is now senior partner in
the firm of Garrow & Proudfoot. He
was for seven yt.ars reeve of G9derich,
being elected by acclamation for the
last six terms. In his closing year
he was chosen warden of the county,
after which he voluntarily retired.
He married a daughter of the late
Rev Mr Fletcher, and has now a
family of seven children. He was
elected last June to represent West
Huron, defeating Mr J. M. Roberts,
and succeeding Hon A. M. Ross. He
seconded the address in reply to the
speech from the throne this session.
Thos Gibson.
Mr Thomas Gibson, member for
East Huron, is one of the oldest
members in the House. He was born
at Greenlaw, Berwickshire, Scotland,
in 1825, and was educated there. He
was married to Miss Elizabeth Hud-
son in 1854, and after her death to
Miss Sarah Young, of Lakelet. He
learned the trade of a millwright, and
worked at it some years before coming
to Canada in 1855. He was reeve of
Howick for some years. At the
general election in 1867 he was an
unsuccessful candidate for legislative
honors, but at the next general elec-
tion, in 1871, he was elected, and
again in 1875, and at every election
since. He is a Liberal and a sup-
porter of Mr Mowat.
