-the valuable services rendered by their
:minister, Rev. G. S. Hamilton, pre-
, sennted him with a fur coat, which,
considering the severity of the winter,
-is perhaps the most appropriate gift
that could have been presented under
the circumstance. Mr R. Adams read
a kindly worded address, and Miss
Scott and Miss Jamieson made the
presentation on behalf of the congre-
gation. A brief reply was made, ex -
.pressing appreciation of this token of
good will. The young ladies and those
•,, ho. were he leading ones in the
movement, deserve credit for laying
out the money collected in 'so suitable
an article, not spending the money in
imitation silver ware, such as tea -sets
or something of little or xio real bene-
fit, as is sometimes'done. Something
to be looked at and not to he used,
something that looks very fine at a
eistance, but will not bear close exanri-
nation. We say it would be just as
well if such presents were made to
persons who do not know as well as
ministers do the difference between
.genuine silver ware and that which
only looks like it for a while, until the

CLINTON
(Too late for last week.)
YE HIGGINS FAMILY, — The most
novel and interesting entertainment
that has been given in the town hall
for some time, was that which was
presented to a large audience on
Thursday evening last. It has dem-
onstrated the fact, which has often
been stated, that there is talent in
Bayfield, which, if developed, might
astonish the outside world. The pro-
gram was filled entirely from the
young folks of the village, who are to
be commended, not only for the
worthy object they had in view, but
also for the assiduous manner in which
they worked to make it a success.
The main part of the program consist-
ed of an old En fish lay representing
of Hast Wawanosh. Mr P. Kelly, of
Blyth: was present, and addressed the
council at considerable length in sup-
port of the petition, explaining the
necessity of the change petitioned for,
and asking the council to grant the
arbitration in accordance with the
provisions of the law in that behalf.
The council having then discussed the
matter pretty well, finally decided not
to grant the petition. Another large-
ly signed petition was presented and
read from W. Cunningham, Issac Barr
and 53 other ratepayers, all also of
School Section No. 8, praying the
council not to grant the petition of P.
Kelly and others, inasmuch as the so
doing would weaken the section to
such an extent as to become too burd-
ensome on the ratepayers, and the
petition 'further asked that in case the
former petition_ was granted, the
council would unite to the said Sec-
tion 8, a portion of some other existing
section or sections in lieu of the terri-
tory they would lose, but as the par-
ties to be affected by the proposed al-
teration were not notified, no action
was taken. A letter from R. Adams
was handed to the council, complain-
ing of the annoyance caused in the
village of Londesboro by the playing of
foot ball on the street, and asking the
council to take the necessary steps to
++put an end to the play. The petition
of Thos. Cole and others, playing the
council to hold thein meetings in some
public hall instead of the hotel, was
laid over until next meeting of coun-
cil, Tenders will be received by the
council for Rock Elm plank to be de-
livered at the following places -2000
ft., at J. Brigham's; 2000 ft. at Londes-
boro; 1500 ft. at A. T. McDonald's and
1500 ft. at Jas Snell's. The plank to
be 16 ft, long and 1 in. thick. Tenders
will be opened at Londesboro on Jan.
31st at 1 p. m. Council adjourned.

NOTES.—Mr John Middleton has re-
ceived a quantity of wheat from the
North-west, which he is storing, with
the intention of waiting for higher
prices. Mr T. Elwood, an employee on
the farm of Mr J. Middleton, who acci-
dentally'got his fingers caught in a
crushing machine, a short time ago, is,
we are glad to say, on the mend. Miss
Orpha Miller, of Clinton, was visiting'

M. Trouse spent a few days last week

frankly declares he only comes to visit
the school which held him in such high
respect when he was among them.
Mr Thomas Lindsay, son of Mr James

GOOD DONE.—The Crossley -Hunter
meetings that have been conducted by
these popular evangelists for the past
few weeks in Goderich, in connection
with the Presbyterian and two Method-
ist churches, closed Friday evening,
llth inst. The farewell service was
eminently interesting, and, in a con-
gregation of not leas than 1,000 people,
all seemed deeply affected and sorry
that the brethren were leaving. Their
services have been wonderfully blessecti
and the town has never been so move
before. The men's meetings, on Sab-
bath afternoons, in the Opera House,
which were crowded to its utmost ca-
pacity, cannot but be of a lasting bless-
ing to the town. The evangelists have
won golden opinions for themselves,
for their faithfulness and earnestness.
They do not "daub with untempered
mortar." They strike personal and
social sins hard every time. Over three
hundred have professed to turn to the
Lord, and all the churches of the town
will share in the fruit of their labors.
The churches interested in their ser-
vices were enthusiastic and labored
with the reatest harmony. A very
co dial wellcoine will be, extended to
th evangelists at any tuttire time -by

FARM SOLD.—The farm belonging to
the estate of the late James Stavely,
being lot 1.4, Maitland concession, was
sold on Saturday, Mr T. Pennington,

THE LATE J. J. FISHER.- -One of the
oldest pioneers, in the person of Mr J.
J. Fisher, died on Jan. 2nd, 1893, at the
age of 77 years, 10 months and 14 days.
Mr Fisher was one of the oldestsettlers
in the township of Colborne. He was
born in the township of Vaughan, on
February 16th, 1815, and in the year
1829 he helped to shingle a house in
Goderich, and moved with his father
to Colborne' in 1831. In May of the
same year he helped to survey part of
that township; and in April, 1832, his
father got his deed from the Canada
Company for 5465 acres of bush land.
Mr Fisher was married in 1839, to
Nancy Pannabaker, and settled on the
farm he resided on untilhis death.
The farm being 500 acres of bush land,
they settled upon it when it was but a
wilderness, and by their hard work
and industry cleared it find made a
good home for them and their family.
In 1872 his wife died, leaving him with
a family of ten children, six sons and
four daughters. His sons are, Isaac,
who resides on a farm near Goderich;
Amos, who lives in Colborne; Joseph
P., of Walton; Benjamin, of Dakota;
Henry, of Minnesota, and Jacob of
Iowa; his four daughters being, .Mrs
Geo. Nott. Tuckersmith; Mrs James
Gledhill and Mrs Geo. Buxton, Pe-
trolia; and Mrs T. McMichael, Hullett.
In 1873 IMr Fisher married Elizabeth
Webber, with whom he leaves &family
of five children, three sons and two
daughters, who still reside at home.
Mr Fisher was a large and extensive
farmer and stock raiser, being one of
the best and largest stock raisers and
importers of horses in the county of
Huron; he was always a 'fancier of
good horses, and had few equals as a
judge of the same. He went several
times to the old country, importing
stock for the benefit of this country.
In politics he was always a strong Re-
former. He was a strong and healthy
man until about two years ago, since
which time he has been more or less
troubled with heart disease, until four
weeks ago he took a severe attack of
inflammation of the lungs, from which
he suffered very much, but he bore his
sickness with great faith, trusting in
God. He was a faithful member of the
Methodist church for 41 years, when
-God -took -him triumphantly to his
happy home above. He leaves a wife
and 15 children, 45 grandchildren and
five great grandchildren. May God
bless the bereaved family 'and friends,
and may they all prepare to meet him
in the realms of bliss.
