ed the onslaught and are about all
right again, while we trust Mrs Forbes.,
Charles Proctor, sr., and the little Kin
of Chas Proctor, jr, will seen recover.
There are quite a few who would be
glad to see the back of Mr La Grippe,
for with alibis politeness many would
not consider him worth a "good day,
sir;" what we think we want is cold
weather and good sleighing.
DEATH. -The death of Mr Henry
Mason, which took place on Saturday
last, was very unexpected as he had
been in good health until a week ago.
His death was causedby la grippe,which
Was followed by a eevere attack of in-
flammation of the lungs which proved
ofaMl. Mr Mason has resided in this
township for a number of years, but
lately on the 41h con., but having dis-
posed of his property there, intended
to remove to Manitoba in the spring.
The deceased leaves a wife and small
family to mourn the loss of a husband
and father. Mr Mason was well thought
of by all who knew him, being of a
quiet and retiring dispesition,;and took
no pert in public affairs. His funeral
on Monday . was largely attended, his
rentable being interred at Baird's
-cemetery.

ing in Belgrave was a decided success,
the ladies, prepared the tables in first
class style, about two hundred persons
tested the quality of the provisions,
and evidently were satisfied with the
composition of the same. The enter-
tainment was quite equal to and sur-
passed the expectation of some. Rev.
J. H. Dyke in the chair. The singing
of the Misses Porterfield was well re-
ceived as it deserved to be, while the
instrumental pieces of Miss Daley. and
Mrs G. B. Wrav, and the pieces
by Mrs Thomas Proctor and Mai A.
Brandon made up a musical program,
which the peoele well enjoyed. The
addresses were interesting and practic-
al, the Revs Campbell, Law and Sellery
doing themselves credit by the instruc-
tive and entertaining remarks they
uttered. A social .was held in the fol-
lowing evening, total proceeds $65.

S PERSONAL -Mrs john Cameron, Mrs
Thos Baird and Mrs Geo. Baird are this
week visiting friends and acquaintan-
ces in Ashfield. They are the guests of
Mr Joseph Dunbar.
NOTES. -Mr John Moffatt, of Moose -
jaw, is home on a visit; the gossips say
that instead of the old rendering, "The
Campbells are coming" it should read
"The Campbells are going." There
was nci)election in this township this
year, consequently there was no fun
election day.
INFLUENZA. -Many of the people of
this district are attacked h the in-
fluenza, which is now so prevalent.
Mts Jos McCully is so ill that she is un-
der the doctor's care. Mr Malcolm Mc-
Ewen and family are also severely at-
tacked with the trouble. Master John
Baird has also been its subject for some
• days, but is recovering.

TION. -On New Year's eve a very plea-
sant time was spent at the residence of
Mr Geo. Baird, sr. the veteran teacher
• of No. 1, Stanley, 'by the people of the
section. All were made heartily wel-
come on their arrival, by Mr and Mrs
Baird, and after e short time spent in

' A NARROW EsIWB.-MrJas. Pratt;
and wife and grandchild, (formerly of
Got:belch township), now living : et
Grander, Didr., had a narrow escape
with their lives a few days since. They
went on a visit several miles from home
and took in the day, the weather hav-
ing the appearance of a blizzard, , they
thought to forestall it by starting for
home. When within a short distance
thereof, the storm broke in on them
with all its fury, and unable to make
their way, they sought the shelter of
a neighboringbay stack; into this they
crawled, remaining all night and until
late the next day, the storm still keep-
ing up. In the afternoon of the second
day Mr Pratt saw a light some distance
off, and after tremendous labor, made
his way there, got help, and returned
for his wife and grandchild, who were
rescued with no more serious harm
than their short period of enforced
hunger. •

THE OLERIESHIP.-Suf-The appoint-

Goderieh is et matter that is causing
considerable stir and anxiety. With-
out reflecting at all on the ability of
the late der, , for he was a good one,
I would suggest the advisability of ap-
pointing a young man to the office, -for
various reasons that need not be cited.
I believe that Messrs Nixon Sturdy, S.
Ferris and A. J. Courtice are among
the applicants. Any of them are good
men for the position, and have the ad-
vantage of youth on their side, let
their claims be duly considered. Yours,

Christmas entertainment. Although
some disappointment was felt at the
non-appearance of some literary and
musical talent expected from Goderich,
still the evening passed off pleasantly,
with the exception of a little too much
noise from the rear of the church. The
chair was taken by our esteemed su-
perintendent, Mr A. McDonald, and
after some singing by the chat, and
recitations by Misses E. Clark and J.
Green, Mr A. E. Neilly favored the au-
dience with an excellent address,which
was both amusing and instructive.

To Ma GEOROU BAIRD, 3n -Dear Sir -We, the
residents of S. S. No 1, Stanley, desire' to express
our sineere regard for ydu as a friend and teacher.
It is not for us to offer you any sentiments of
flattery, but the praise of sincerity hag ever been
permitted to the voice of friendship, and surely
we who have known your good qualities so long,
and derived so ranch benefit from their exertion,
may say a few words as to the esteem in which
you are. held. During the long period in which
you have had charge of our school, your efforts
ter the advancement of the pupils have been
strenuous and untiring, while your faithfulness
to duty, patient perseverance and scholarly at-
tainments, have won not only the respeot and
confidence, but the affection, and it may also be
• said the veneration of thosezuho have had the
benefit of your instruction. This is shown by
the kind communieations we have lately received
froon many former pupils, expressing deepest
obligations to their early training in your school
for 'whatever success in life they have e,cbieved,
and warmest wishes for your welfare and hap-
hiness. Apart from your school duties, your
neighborly kindness, warm friendship and moral
integrity have exerted an influence for good, the
dieasure of whichlis past all calculation. As a
tangible token of our appreciation of your labors,
we beg of you to accept this gold emcee which
iste hope will .marli. the ;time for man.y happy
years of your life. That you may long be spared
among us in happiness, and that a kind Provi-
donee will watch over you and yours with tender
care. ia the sincere atiflh and prayer of us all.
Mr Baird made a modest and tender
reply, expressive of his appreciation of
the gift, and regard for the givers.
After the handsome present had been
seen and admired by all, a lengthy pro-
gram of games and rausie was proceed-
ed with, and all thoteug.bly enjoyed
themselves. A bountiful supper vvas
served during the evening, by the la-
dies of of the section the,valities
of which were alu'indently, evidenced
by the hearty manner in which it was
partaken of by those present. The
singing of Auld Lang Syne and the
National Antheru brought a very plea-
sant evening's enjoyment to a 'elope.
Mr Baird has °been ilontintiotisly
en-
gaged in the section for 81 years and
it is safe to say no teacher in Otitarid

To the editor of the New Era
THE APPOINTMENT OF CLERK. -MR
EDITOR, -In looking over the publish-
ed minutes ef the last meeting oe the
council, I observe that Adam Gantelon
is clerk, in place of James Patton, and
bylaw to that i3ffect was passed. He
is therefore, according to the minutes,
clerk without - any limitation as to
tinae. He is consequently clerk until
removed for momentous cause, and as
hele it forniedin mimic' al
affairs and a good scribe, a better
choice could not easily be made.
RATEPAYER.
To the Editor Of the Clinton New Era
DEAR SIR, -Please allow me space
in your paper to reply to the charge
made against Mr JOhn Beacom, which
appeared in your eolumns two weeks
ago. In the flestplace, the person who
wrote the letters was wilfully ignorant
of the facts:' He talks about the job
being done {So much cheaper if the
gravel had been drawn from Weir's
pit instead of McTavish's. Well, in
the first place, the job was let too
cheap for a man to make wages and
in the second place, the gravel 'from
McTavish's pit was not good, therefore
they abandoned it and went to Weir's,
where they got first class gravel, and
then only made fair -wages. It seems
to me that this fellow, who aims to be
smart (in his own eyes) is in the eyes of
the public a knave. The estimation in
whichthe letter was held is shown by
the fact that the ratepayers did not
believe it at all. I understand that it
was a personal spite against Mr Bea-
com, Which is shown ' by the way he
went about his work. Now, I would
advise the writer of said letter to keep
clear of the newspaper With his dirt in
future, as the public are getting too
