Goderich Township NOTES.—There is talk of organizing an Epworth Leagne club in connection with Cole's church; no better society could be found in a community where the young people are willing to help on a good cause. Mr Ed. Harrison has finished his time with Mr Wm. Wise, /and intends spending a while in recreation. Mrs Thos. Cook is on the sick list. Miss Hattie Middleton has been spending a week visiting in town as the guest of Miss Aggie McGiarva. RENTED.—Mr W. Hardy (son of Mr John Hardy, of the base line) who has been hvihg over on the Tipperary line • for a couple of years, has rented the Miller /arm: 'oh- therbase iitre, 'far a term of years, at a rental of $200 a y,ear. He is a steady, industrious young man, and will be a good tenant. We understand that it is Mr Robert Miller's intention to retire from active farming, and will rent his farm on the Hullett side of the road—hie home- stead—to his son, still residing, how- ever, on the place. Ladies' Fine Sealette Mantles And COATS made to measure are in ac- tive demand at this store just new. The reason for this activity is not far to seek. We have made twice as many Sealette Coats so far dile season as we did the entire season last year, and we have not had a single grumble abont misfit; not even a biatton had to be moved lyet this season. Little wonder then that our suoceas has been phenomenal. Our Trimming, [our *Workmanship, our Cut, our Style, Fit and 'Ione displayed on these garments is all the most fastidious lady can desire. Gilroy&Wisemart OLINTON • • ..yilatt.«.1....41•••••••amommalimINI Hill's Green. NoTES.—An earnest sermon of total abstinence was preached by Rev. S. Acheson, on Sunday afternoon; in the evening Rev. 11. 'Irvine preached on the subject of Eternal punishment. -Mr Robt. Love rejoices in the birth of a line healthy son; mother and child are doing well. DEATH.—After an illness of over a year, Mrs Troyer passed away from her sorrowing family on Wednesday afternoon. On Saturday her remains were laid in Troyer's cemetery, and the funeral sermon afterwards preach- ed in the Methodist church. .At the close of a sermon on Deut. 32, 11-12, "As the eagle stirreth up her nest etc., Rev. H. Irvine read the following obituary notice. Sarah Ann Bennett was born in 1826, in Devonshire, Eng- land. When quite a young girl she came to this- country and Settled with her parents in the township of Vaugh- an,York county. In her sixteenth year she was married to John Troyer, her sorrowing husband. Last October our departed sister had borne the respon- sibilities and cares of married life fifty years. How faithfully she discharged the duties of wife and mother, her ? sorrowing family can testify. Her eleven children, to whom she gave the u hest of her life, have risen up to call her "Blessed." Her frugal, industrious 1r life, makes specially appropriate to her the words of Samuel, "Who can find a virtuous woman, for her price is above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands. She riseth while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household and a portion to her maidens. Her husband is known in the gates where he sitteth amongst the elders of the land. She looketh well to the ways of her house- hold, and eateth rot the bread of idle- ness. Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also and praiseth her." Mrs Troyer was con- ,yerted to God 36 years ago, under the ministry of Rev. Mr Wilson, and unit - "ed: with the Methodist church, of which she remained an honored and consistent member till her death; when health permitted attendance her 'not in the sanctuary was never vacant on the Sabbath day. For over a year Mrs Troyer has been a great sufferer, during 'her entire illness I heard no word of complaint, neither did she once express a doubt concerning her salvation. Each time I questioned he_ret..11e ansWer_...,WeLe,I.ItseisAvelhwith-- thy soul." From her life and her testi- mony I see no reason to doubt that for her to depart was to be with Christ, and we are sure that to depart and be with Christ for her, and for all, is far better. May her aged husband and her children so live here, as one day to re -unite in the better home called heaven. Hullett. WEDDING.—The Irishtown Roman Catholic church was the scene of a joyous wedding on Tuesday morning last, when a well-known and justly - esteemed young man of Hullett was united in the holy bonds of matrimony with an estimable young lady. The :principals were Mr Hugh Flynn and Miss M. Shea. Miss Horne acted as kuidesmaid, Nehile Mr John Lavan of- ficiated as gtoornsman. That happi- ness a,nd prosperity may be their por- tion is the wish of all. MUNICIPAL MATTERS.—On the quiet considerable talk is being indulged in concerning the probabilities and pos- sibilities of the next municipal election. It is regarded as altogether likely that the present members of the council, from Reeve down, will seek re-election. The friends of Mr Robt. Scott are de- termined that he shall again be a can- didate for the reeveship, while Mr Ben Churchill's name is mentioned as a likely aspirant for the deputy -reeve - ship. As possible aspirants for a seat at the council board are mentioned Messrs W. Moon and Thos. McMillan BOARD OP HEALTE.—The local Board f Health, of the township of Hullett, eld a meeting at LondesbDro on Tues - ay, Nov. 15th. The report of Dr. Young, medical health officer, was ead and received, it shows that the sanitary condition of -the municipality is very good, and excepting a few mild cases of typhoid fever has been re- markably free from sickness during the year. Sometime in the past sum- mer a great nuisance was caused by parties leaving dead animals exposed on the 14th con., opposite the corpora- tion of Blyth, but on being notified it was abated at once, and no other com- plaint was lat ought before the Board since then. COUNere.—Council met on the 15th. Mr Britton, chairman of the Board of Health, in conformity with the pro- visions of the Public Health- Act, sub- mitted his annual report, which con- tains a statement of the work of the Board and the sanitary condition of the Municipality as contained in the Health officer's report. On moticn of Messrs Lasham and Snell the report was adopted. Accounts amounting to 0120 for township iinprovement were pressnted and paid. A circular from the county Clerk was read, asking for a statement of the kind and cost of bridges proposed to be built in the township this year that would come under the act R. S. 0. C. 184 and Sec. 582, also a certified statement showing the amount paid out for bridges in eseheyearfor the -past -ten, .for theln- formation of the County Council. This will entail some extra work on our councillors, as the length of bridges is required to be given as well as the material of which they are construct- ed. Council adjourned until Dec. 15th, at 10 a. M. JAS. CAMPBELL, Clerk. East Wawan osh. NOTES.—While goieg down the big hill,on the i3th eon., with his traction engine last Friday, Jno Bennett had the misfortune to break the steering. rod of the engine, but, fortunately, no other damage was done. Mr Samuel Walsh rejoices over the fact that an- other boy has come to his house to be taken cane of; he will likely call him Sammy. 43. R.- Walsh was visiting friends on the 6th last week. THE POOR HOU9E—$1i.50 for charity last year was the sum paid by this municipality; can a poor house be of any financial benefit to us, and the number of tramps andars will not be lessened by the establishment of one in the county, judging by the experience of other counties. Let us from our own private charity give re- lief to the poor and deserving instead of telling one another what to give in the way of taxing them and compel- ling them to pay for the support of a houseof refuge when we will probably give.a,dollar for distributing and over the expenditure of another dol- lar. In this township none have ever, so far as we have knowledge of, suffer- ed cold or hunger as a result of their poverty, but have afways been housed and fed and as satisfactorily cared for as if they had bir we of a house of refuge. A n e are informed that if an ol couple be sent to the honee of refuge they are separated the same as they would be in jail, and in probably all cases of this kind they would rather get a stated allowance and live happily together- than enjoy the comforts of a poor house in their declining years, when their company would be so much appreciated by each other. We have lived here for nearly 30 years, and never yet has a person been turned away from our door with- out getting a good square meal or com- fortable mcfht s lodging if they wished for it, an this is the way with the great majority of our farmers, who think that to be the best way of obey- ing Saviour's command to care for the poor, which ye have with you al- ways, for even a cup of cold water given in His name shall not lose its re- ward. Belgrave. NOTES.—Rev. J. H. Dyke was in Kincardine last Sabbath, his work here being supplied by Mr J. E. HHD - ter. Business men are looking for Weighing to improve the roads and buitinees. Look out for"Manlineris " a lecture in the Methodist church: on Monday. Dec. 5th, by Rev. S. Sellery, of Wingham; the lecturer is well able to handle his subject. Rev.

McCully, of the Grafton, N. D. Advocate, is credited with doing good work for his party—tbe Democratic—in the recent elections." NOTES.—Mr John McGregor has re- turned from& visit to the cOunty of Kent, where he has a sister living, Mrs Peter McDougall.

At the trustee the meeting: held in e Methodist church, on Wed nesclay night, Mr W. Murch was ap- pointed as representative to the trustee board. There were a number of ten- ders for the lighting, &c. of the church, but Mr W. Ramsay obtained the sex- tonship, and it was decided that pews should be tree for everyone Sunday evenings. MISSIONARY.—The annual mission- ary services will be held ie the Metho- dist church, Dec. 4th. It is expected that Rev. Mr Rogers and Mrs Pent- land will be present to address the meeting. The W. M. S. of this place sent a bale of goods to the Moose Woods Indian Reserve, N. W. T., and have received word from Mrs Tucker, teacher of the school, that it arrived safe. The Indians are very poor and destitute on this, reserve, a Missionary visits them once a month. They are twenty miles from the railway and post office and ten from the nearest white neighbors. The teacher was very glad to receive the articles of bedding and clothing, they being non - treaty Indians, get no help from the government, with the exception of one blanket a year to each adult. NOTES.—We were handed a short poem the other day, written by a na- tive, which, we think, shows consider- able talent.; who knows the future poet Laureate is in our midst. Miss Maggie Rutledge is very sick, having suffered sometime with quinsy. Good sleighing again makes the village hum with business. Mrs W. Forster is very low, and but little improvement is seen in her. The Temperance hotel will be finished and ready for opening by Dec. lst. Mr W.

This happy gang goes forth to work, Without a friend or foe, They knuckle down beside a heap, As you already know. They claw the apples right and left, In a most shameful way, And feed their pony with The very best of hay. TheunossbackstandatesidtFhliFfiriik' In anger looks about, Until be thinks it's time for him To kick the whole gang out. He looks again upon his fruit, And then towards the gate, Then says unto this happy gang "We had better separate." The happy gang pick up their tools, And start toward the gate, And says, "It'll take but little time, We're with you there, at any rate. Your apples, sir, are like yourself, Both small and scabby too, We never did pack apples, sir, For such a shark as you." They take the weather as it comes, . And neverAlo complain, '• Uzitil the enow begins to fly, A.nd fill their hands with pain. Will Stanley, he has labored hard All through the snow and rain; And all the people now believe He made but little gain. Thio happy gang bad heaps of sport, Although they had to suffer; But don't forget, they're going to have Another oyster supper. Hayfield. NOTES.—Mr Herbert Fowlie, who has been away for some time, is home. We are glad to see Mr Baker hack and able to resumehis position in the school after his recent illness.

Mr Moses Hortslauder, who has been in this vicinity for some time, left for his home, in Mildmay, on Tuesday. Lick Wells, of Holliston, represent- ing J. McPherson & Co., of Hamilton, was here in the interest of the firm, on Friday. IT IS TIME.—It is pretty near time some interest was taken in municipal politics. As a rule we wait until the last few days become excited, and then feel sorry the best men are not chosen to represent us. We need two new councillors, and it is said that there will be a bitter fight for reeveship. PURCHASE.—Mr D. B. McKinnen has purchased from Rev. A. McLean that desirable property on Dinsley street, east of Dr Milne's. We learn that it is the intention of Mr McKinnon to erect a neat residence in the near future, and retire from business, John S. tak- ing control of the store, and then get- ting m —d. SYMPATHY.—The following lines of sympathy have been received by Mr Hammond, from his brethren of the C.O.F.:—Dear Sir and Brother,—We, the members of Court Morning Star No. 89, take this opportunity of ex- pressing our deep sympathy in the se- vere affliction of your beloved wife. That Mrs Hammond may be fully re- stored to health, and long spared to you and your family, is the sincere wish.., and.- desire-. of- everylndffiliesi- - this Court. Signed on behalf of Court, in liberty, benevolence and concord, R. SOMERS, J. McGme. GIVE US RECIPROCITY.—But for the grand crop of apples that has been marketed here, times would indeed be bad; with wheat at 64c. a bushel, the farmer would not know where to turn, and we do not wonder that the recent victory of the Democrats has delighted everyone. It is expected that trade restrictions will shortly be removed between Canada and the great Repub- lic to the south of us. When recipro- city of trade was in force some years ago, an era of prosperity set in, which is well remembered, and people natur- ally wish for a repetition of the pros- perous times that reciprocity brought. PRESENTATION AND ADDREBS.—ROV C. E. McGee;who fortlie piat Year has so successfullyministered to the united parishes of Blyth and St. Augustine, and who has been appointed to the parish of Maidstone, Kent county, was made the recipient of a well-filled purse and a kindly address at the hands of his Blyth parishioners, prior to his re- moval to his new sphere of labor. Rev Father McGee, during his stay in this section, made many warm friendships, and his removal has caused a feeling a deep regret outside of the members of his own faith, as well as amongst them. The rev. gentleman, on receipt of the address, was much touched, and made a feeling reply. Tan KICKERS ROUTED.—At a meet- ing of ratepayers, held in Industry Hall, on Friday evening, complete power was given the council to light the streets of this village with electric light. The opposition was very slim, consisting of about six persons (at least that was the number that stood up) one of their speakers opposed the lights on petty spite grounds. When a man apposes wbat is for the best interests of the village, on such grounds, we like to see him sat upon, and we trust that if this party presents himself- foeplec- tion to our council, that he wilf be 'elected to stay at home, and air his petty grievances there. [Comments— Where was Moses when the light went out? What are you laufering ut ? Everybody laughed when the posi- tion stood up. A few more d s like that would take the conceit. out of some one. Pat says, if we ate to die, let us die in the light. . Constance. DEIIORNING CATTLE.—On Monday- ast Mr Elliott, of Oxford, dehorned hirty-six head of stock steers for Me ohn McMillan, M. P.
