F. of this place in the Town Hall, on Sunday, violating Lodges from Clinton, and Seaforth were present and. all seemed to be much benefited by the sermon. 50 PRO BONO Formic°. - We believe that every local paper that has a coak respondent in Hayfield has been the medium for appeals and suggestions that our town hall should no longer be left as 4 is, a disgrace to the village, an eyesore to visitors, and a daily ex- ample of untidiness to the rising gene- ration. The Goderich Signal has noted it, the Clinton News -Record has men- tioned it, the Seaforth Expositor only last week referred to it, while the NEw ERA has been praying for it for more than a year. Surely so many "voices of the people" should influence the coun- cil enough to have a pr operty, which belongs to every taxpayer, attended to. We would not suggest that our alder- men cannot see the dire want of the case, or that they knowiegly violate the wishesaof their electors, hut we do think they are trifling with the great thief of time, and listening too much to petty objectors, who ask, "Is there any money in it?" MaTiiratOAIA.a..--This vicinity has a large number of rning ladies, but MIMI more Sq than popular and ,aMiable Miss Filina-Vioptly, daughter of Mr U. Floody, of the boundary, and the an- nouncement that she is to be married next week will not be a surprise to her score of friends.
