and lively Correspondents
Tuckersmith.
PERSONAL.-- ars Cyrus Turner and
her brother, Mr I. Crane, of Carberry,
Man., are visiting relatives here, hav-
ing been called from Manitoba to visit
their father, Rev Mr grane,who resides
at Woodstock. Miss Willis, of Sea -
forth, visited relatives here this week.
Mt Bagshaw, of Exeter, who is attend-
ing the Collegiate Institute of Clinton,
spent Saturday and Sunday with his
friends here. Mr Abner Cosens intends
to remove to Toronto, where he has
secured a lucrative position. Mr and
Mrs Fisher, of Benmiller, visited re-
latives here this week.
NOTES. -The omission of "of Algo-
ma," in the W. Townsend item of last
week, sadly altered the sense of the
item: Men who will engage at farm
work appear too scarce this season,
and a number of the farmers are en-
gaging boys instead. The time for
sugar making has arrived, but the
snow is still so deep in the bush as to
render it impossible to get around. A
few of our older citizens are wishing
for spring, while the younger portion
would like to have sleighing for Easter.
SIGNS OF SPRING. -The thermometer
marking above zero. Mother earth is
beginning to appear, looking fresh
after being covered with snow so long.
One and then another cif the country
troop, known as the "Canadian band,"
are beginning to send forth their mel-
odious strains, fri their old-time style;
the robin made his appearance at the
early part of this week, and as he
sounds forth his pleasing chirp, we are
reminded that,spring is coming
Hullett.
FARM ORANGE. -Mr- John Biggin
has purchased- his mother's interest in
the old homestead, on the 2nd con.,
and will soon move thereto. Mrs
Biggin has not decided where she will
move to, but may take up her resi-
dence in Clinton.
NOTES. -On Saturday morning Mr
Will Snell, of the gravel, was pleased
to find that he was the owner of a pair
of twin calves more than he had the
night before; they were one of each
kind, thorobred, and "pretty as a
picture." We are pleased to :see that
.Mr Humphrey Snell, who recently
met with an exceedingly painful acci-
dent, has so far recovered that he is
now able to walk around. Mr James
McCaughey, second son of Mrs Mc-
Caughey, of the gravel road, died on
-We dnesday,nrning; he has been silt-
ferrngfrdm'consumption :=for a•.eonsld-
erable length of time, and his -death
was, therefore, not un1ooked for; he
was an intelligent, promising young
man, and leaves- a wife to mourn his
early demise; he belonged to the R. C.
church. Mr William Kemp, who has
for two years past been employed with
Mr A. Saunders, of con. 13, has given
such good satisfaction that he is en-
gaged again for the this year; this
shows well for both parties.
Goderich Township
FARM RENTED. Mr J. T. McGee has
rented Mrs Stokes farm, near Bayfield,
for a term of years. He is an indus-
trious young man and will be a good
tenant.
NOTES. -Mr Henry Tebbutt leaves
on Tuesday next, for Manitoba, Harry
will be missed by his many friends.
Miss Mary Baker, of the Maitland Con-
cession, has gone to spend a week or
two with her uncle, G. F. Oakes, of
Stratford. Building operations will be'
somewhat brisk this season. The boys
are wondering if the young machine
agent will be ma8on(ing) this summer;
he will likely get there if Dan or Alex.
don't rule him out. Some of the young
people took in the party at Ike Brown -
lee's Wednesday evening. Mr Thomas
McKenzie, Clinton, was awarded the
contract of the new Orange Hall, on
the 7th concession.
Varna
TEMPERANCE ANNIVERSARY. -Wed-
nesday, the 22nd inst., was the 31st
anniversary of Varna Lodge No. 245 of
Good Templars. This is, we think, the
oldest lodge of Good Templars in the
county of Huron to -day. There are
only two of the charter members in
Varna now, others being scattered over
the United States,)tamtaba and Brit-
ish
rit
ish Columbia. Th influence and bene-
flts accruing from it no one can tell.
NEW DEPARTi'RE.-Mr W. A. Mc-
Brayne, our new tailor, has moved into
the premises lately occupied by Mr
Ashton, and in connection with his
tailoring department has opened a bar-
ber shop,where the boys can get sham-
poed and shave. This is a boon to our
village, and we feel satisfied the enter-
prising gentleman will do well, as most
everyone does that comes to Varna.
NOTES. -Quite a number of the young
folk took in the box social held at
Brucefield on Monday night, under the
auspices of the Royal Templars of that
village; they say they had a grand
time. Thos. Wiley was in the village
on Monday, looking well, after having
the grip. A. Q. Bobier passed through
here on Tuesday, to Bayfield. Thomas
Delgaty, of Staffa, paid us a visit on
Monday; Tom must have a fair one
around. John Hall is practising his
horse, Joe Gales, for the summer races.
Mae. McNaughton spent Sunday in •
Brucefleld. We notice Amos goes to
the Goshen quite often. Mr W. Dun-
can, of this place, moved to Clinton on
Tuesday,where he will reside in future;
he intends going into the egg and ,bot -
ter trade this coming summer, and we
wish him success. Mrs McBrayne and
Miss Lochart, ofOamlachie, arrived in
our village on Friday last, and are
staying at the Royal hotel until Mac
gets his house fixed up. Wm, Hall
has invented a wire stretcher, which
"iceman far exceeds anything of the kind yet
seen in this county; Will is quite a
geuiusr.
Summerhill
HORSE SOLD, -Mr C. 3, Nesbitt has
disposed of his three-year-old stallion,
Hector McKnight, to' Ur K. Disney, to
be taken to the West. He is one of
the finest horses ever raised in this sec-
tion, and rivals successfully imported
stock of this line. He turned the scales
at 1970 lbs. Mr Nesbitt has a one -year-
old colt that now occupies his stall,
and this oue promises to be even better
than the subject of this paragraph.
This shows that farmers should study
to breed the very best horses, and not
the mongrel Blass that some of them
are engaged in rearing.
PRESENTATION. -A few evenings ago
the friends and neighbors of Mr James
Johnson gathered at his residence and
presented him with a fine overcoat and
hat, accompanied by a complimentary
address. Mr Johnson was completely
taken by surprise, and made a suitable
reply, amid the bewilderment conse-
quent on his surprise, thanking them
for thus generously remembering him,
and wishing that all might "live long
and die happy." Those present spent
an enjoyable time before dispersing.
Mr Johnson and family move shortly
to the vicinity of Bayfield.
NOTES. -The warm sunshine,- the
robins, the length of daylight, and the
discomfort of our winter overcoat, all
remind us that balmy spring is rapidly
dethroning winter. Mr R. J. Draper
has an attack of diphtheria, but is im-.
pi}ubing;;we hope to see him around
again sooi •-:11pd that no more cases
will appear. Mi6S E4nma Sprung, of
Harlock, has been visiting -friends in
this vicinity. The Women's Auxiliary
meets this week at Mrs Catupbell's.
Mr Geo. Christopher moved last week
to Walton, where be has purchased a
farm. Mrs Tyner was visiting in the
"Hub" last week. Our esteemed teach-
er, Mr G. M. Kilty, is laid up with the
mumps, and is unable to attend to his
du ties.

NOTES. -The roads are now in better
condition tjian they were before the
thaw. Those interested in swamping
were very busy last week cleaning out
their swamps, thinking the snow would
soon be a thing of the past, Mrs Hugh
Moses, 1st con., had an attack of in-
flammation last week, but is now nicely
recovering, Miss Violet Bone, Evho
rtes bs eu.. i4si ting Joer_.father. or :roams.:
weeks, returned to her situation in
Toronto on Monday. Mrs Wm. Bray
is still very poorly; not much hope is
entertained of her complete recovery
until spring opens. Joha Broadfoot
has leased his farm, west of Brussels, to
A. Eason, who will move there on
next week. Chas. and Frank Arm-
strong, sons of Rich. Armstrong, 3rd
line, who went to Moose Jaw, N. W. T.
some two years ago, are having bad
luck with their horses; two have died
from influenzia and two more are not
expected to recover; they also lost a
valuable horse about a year ago. Mr
Wm. Casemorejr., has rented the farm
of -F. Ashton, on the lst line, for a term
of years; Mr Ashton had a sale last
Friday which was well attended and
bidding was high; he will remove to his
other farm on the 7th line, shortly.
The auction sale of Emaunel Olivar's
farm stock and implements on Wednes-
day ,of last week, was attended by an
immens e crowd; the weather was cold
and a bitter wind from the west blew
all day, but did not prevent residents
of Howick on the north and from near
Seaforth on the south from attending;
bidding was very high and in some
cases exceeded the cost of the article;
the imported clydesdale stallion, "Ayr-
shire Stamp" was not sold, only one bid
of $500 being placed upon him; milk
cows sold at very high prices, the low-
est was $49 and the highest being $58;
common barn yard fowl sold as high
as $4.80a dozen; two fairly good calves
brought $18.50 a piece; two year old
stockers averaged $45 a piece, and the

piece; horses were just about given
away; G. Kirkby wielded the hammer.
Quintin Anderson has been laid up for

ing a very broad smile these day's; its a
girl this time. A grand party was
given the young people of the Oth and
7th cons., on Thursday evening of last
week, by Walter Scott; the large and
capacious family residence was crowd-
edp with a large and select assemblage
of sturdy young farmers, townspeople
and beautiful young ladies, who enjoy-
ed themselves immensely in dancing,
parlor games, &c.; the party dispersed
in the wee sma' hours of morning, each
hoping that our popular councilman
will soon do it again. W. Fenwick is
slowly recovering from his relapse; we
hope he will soon be his old and form-
er self.
Be1grave.
NoTru,-Belgrave has no shoemaker
at present; it is a good opening for a
steady man, Mr Wrn. Wray, this
week, moved onto his farm, 4th con..
Morris, for the coming summer; we
understand he intends to make some
material improvements andenerally
straighten things up,and the farm is in
pretty good shape now. Mr Hasharn
has sold out his farm effects, and this
week has moved to Wingham; he has
not parted with the feed store in the
village. Belgrave has a new station
agent, Mr Krneer, of London; our for-
mer and well tried station master; Mr

thousand dollars. The payments for
these benefits range from about one

SIcII LIST. -We are glad to see that

Mr Thos. Potter sr., has been very low
for the past few days.Mr S. T. Walter
has recovered from his recent illness.
MovEn.-Mr S. Phipps moved his
household effects, etc., to the house
lately rented by him, on Tuesday. He
has procured a position in Clinton, and
will no doubt take the train in and out
during the summer months.
DANGER.- We notice a sign up at.
corner of the Maitland concession, stat-
ing that the Holmesville bridge is un-
safe, and at the same time rga.see loads
of wood coming' out from Colborne,
but we suppose only those who under-
stand it can cross. [The notice should
be removed, as the bridge is now se-
cure. --ED.]
TEMPLARS. - Notwithstanding the
wet evening on Monday, therewas a
well filled hall at the R.T. of T. Council.
After the usual business of the evening
was ended, the first program of the

side. The entertainment rendered con-
sisted of solos, duets, quartettes, instru-
mentals, readings. recitations, etc.,
and sustained the high reputation of
Holmesville talent. Mr McRobert's
side willerform next Monday night.
WELL WORKED. - There are two
young men who board at the same
house here; the other evening they
were both out calling, and one getting
home before the other, he unthinking-
ly (?) locked the door, and when No. 2
came along, some hours after, of course
he couldn't get in. The trouble now
was, what was he to do ? It was rather
cold to stay outside, but thesame mag-
netism that drew him a certain direc-
tion in the evening exerted itself and
carrie(d) him back again for the few re-
maining hours. It is needless to say
that he thinks being locked out in
Holmesville is a great deal pleasanter
than. if he were back in Dakota, and
owing to this fact has some thoughts
of remaining here in future.

ishment should be abolished' was de-
cided against the resolution. The sub-

BROKE ITS BACK. -On lMonday last,
as Mr Donald McInnes, was driving
hone from town, accompanied by two
other parties, a peculiar and fatal ac-
cident happened to his horse. They
were crossing the iron bridge at the
north end of Usborne, which is com-
pletely void of snow, when the horse
became choked with the brest collar
and as it strangled, staggered to the
north east end corner, where the cut-
ter became caught it the railing. .The
animal then made a struggle and
freed itself from the rig, after which it
staggered against the fence at the ap-
