WEDDING.—The marriage, announ- ced in your paper last week, came off ,,on Tuesday, and was a,ha• •y affair. r Henry Ivison_ an_d, Mi - rna_ lel-_ lis are now one. -Rev. Hiivine, as- sisted by Rev. A. McKibbon and Robt. Brrnby, tied the knot. Mr Robert -,r--Dinsdale supported the groom. and Misses .S"arah Cudmore and Hannah Ivison supported the bride. The bride ' and bridesmaids were dressed in white and cream cashmeres, with flowing veils. Mr Robt. Mellis gave the bride away. The presents were sensible and valuable. The happy couple left amid the usual accompaniments of rice, slip- pers, etc. for a week's s honeymoon, taking in several places of interest on the way. CHURCH SERVICES—Quarterly meet- ing services at Kippen, last Sunday, were the most interesting during the present year.. Rev. A. McKibbon as- sisted the pastor in the services, and Chiselhurst and Hills Green churches were well represented in the congrega- tions. Rev. J. E. Howell, M. A., chair- man of Goderich District; took the . chair of the Quarterly Board meeting, on Monday. Finances were in good shape, the. small balance of salary not paid being assumed by the stewards, who also raised the balance of the Superannuation " Fund for the pastor. A standing vote of thanks was tender- ed Rev. H. Irvine for his efficient man- • agement of the circuit during the three years closing. The pastor reported a slight increase in members over last yyear, notwithstanding the loss of Drysdale, ' which went to Bayfield. mission.

We are going to lookout for those sharks in future. ' MR EDITOR.—I noticed that Londes- boro was not represented at all in your last week's paper, so I thought I would write you up a few items of what was transpiring rn our village. Hullett GOOD.—Mr M. Sprung, Auburn, has a lamb which weighed 17 lbs when it was two days old,. and has gained a pound every day since. COURT OF REVISION.—The first sit- ting of the Court of Revision for this. township will be held on Thursday, May 25th, at 10 a. m. STATISTICS.—The township of Hul-' lett assessment roll was returned to the clerk last week, completed and added up, and is now open to the in- spection of the ratepayers of the muni- ei ality. It shows a total assessment ofrealand personal pro . erty and tax- able income of $2,230, �� Number of acres in fall wheat 3,868; orchard 566; number of cattle 8,016; sheep 3,166; horses 2,077; dogs 301. The population this year is 2882, being 63 less than last year. The report of School section No. 2, Hullett, forptwo months ending April 30th, is as follows.

DBILEGATHs.—At the last meeting of Maitland Lodge No. 304, the following members were appointed as delegates. to attend the District Lodge, held at Lucknow; on May 16th:—B. Wilson, A. Helwig, L. Erratt, J. Wilson, R. Cum- ings, 1H. Sturdy, J. Mole, A. Knox. SACRAMENTAL.—Sacrament service will be held at the Westfield appoint- ment, next Sabbath, conducted by Mr Paul, of Brussels. , He has also kindly consented'to preach in the Auburn Methodist church, the same Sabbath in the evening. A BAD Loss.—Last Monday even- ing the house of Mr J. Wilson was en- tered by robbers, and some $190 stolen. The dog was in the house at the time, and it is a mystery as to how they found the money, which was in three different places, without making noise enough to disturb some one. Mr Wil- son had just received the funds of the Temperance Lodge, some S55, and was also treasurer of the Presbyterian church. No trace of the guilty ones has yet been found. NoTEe. We are pleased to learn that the sick -are improving, at least they are not any worse. Mr Wilhelm is at present visiting his parents in Baden; after having successfully passed his examination and attended confer- ence. MrJ Stevens is at present on the sick list. A gentleman, from Ta- vistock, is at present here thinking over the advisability of starting a new tin shop in Mr Denstidt's old stand.

Some of the farmers have grain have not heard full particulars of his up, but the majority of them have it death. George was well and favorably up in their graneries yet. - known in this neighborhood, having spent many years here. He was a few years ago a student in Goderich High School, where he received a first-class certificate. After teaching a short time at the Nile, he went to Manitoba, and thence to California, in each of which places he was engaged in teach- ing. His sorrowing ' father, sister and brothers have the sympathy of the en- tire neighborhood. Goon SERMON.—Last Sunday Rev W. W. Leech preached, we believe, as good a sermon in the Methodist church as has been delivered there for many years, holding the close attention of his congregation for an hour or more. His text was Luke 22, 32, "And Peter went out and wept bitterly," showing that as soon as he had backslidden in denying Christ, he repented. Mr Leech said that he believed if Peter' had only had courage. enough, when the maid accused him of being_ one of Christ's disciples, and said, "Yes, I am one of his followers. and am not ashamed to own it," that God would have sent a legion of angels to protect him from all harm, the same as he did, when he wasin prison. - NoTES.—Mr Solomon Millin, who for • a considerable length of time has been unable to get out, is now, we are sorry. to say, entirely confined to his bed. MrThos: Orisp•haa ereoted a beautiful - wire fence in front of his lot; which adds very much to the appearance of his property. Next Sunday week quar- terly services will be held in the Metho- dist . church here, and on Wednesday following the quarterly official meeting will be held, to wind up the affair s of the present ecclesiastical year. The auction sale of Mr Riebard Bricham's stock, last Wednesday, was good, con- sidering the depression in some kinds of stock, as prices riled very fair in cattle, sheepand begs, but low in im- plements. Very little grain has been sowed in this neighborhood yet, as the land is scarcely in a wbrkable condi- tion. The Methodist Sunday School here has purchased a new library, which will be ready for use in a week or so, and the children will have great ad- vantage in reading matter. The tramp who left his carpet bag in a certain hay loft the other night, can have' the same by calling personally on S. T. H., and in no other way. Mr Johnston, who has been down east for some time. taking charge of a 'stallion, returned on Monday evening with a lame arm; it appears the horse became, enraged and bit him, using him pretty rough. Mr John Stephenson got his leg badly sprained while out in the bush chop- prng, by a tree falling on him; he is unable to work.—Co rr xnrron. - [Wo shall be exceedinglyoleased to hear from Contributor, or any one ellke, as often as they can make it convenient to send news.—Eo.Ni.w Elta.l Nile SERVICES.—The regular • Quarterly meeting of -the Nile Methodist `c'hurch is to be held on Sunday next, at the hour of 10 a. m.

GEO. STEWART, Clerk. FARM SOLD,—.Reeve Torrance, who has sold his fine farm' here, does not give up possession for another year; what he will do then is yet undecided. He expects to buy a farm somewhere else,but has yet made no definite plans. Should he decide to remove from Stan- ley, the township•will suffer a distinct loss, as he is a good farmer and a man very highly esteemed indeed. We trust that he may yet decide. to remain in this locality. Bayfield. T. 0. BRUCE, Dentist, Clinton will visit Bay. field professionally on the Sud and 4th THURS. DAX of every Month, until further notice, at the River Rotel. NoTES.—Mr Joseph Wild sold his brick cottage, with three acres of land, with a good orchard to Mr Robt. Sel- lars for a fair price.- The council re- ceived several tenders, on Monday, for paintingthe town hall. The fishing here 4s brisk, large hauls of fish and a ready sale. Miss Reta Stanbury left here on Friday for Toronto. to visit her grandmother, Mrs "Stuart. Mr 'Bert Thibadeau was in town over Sun- day, visiting old acquaintances. Rev. Mr Eadie preached in St. Andrews church, morning and evening, and was listened to with marked attention. The communion services were held in the Methodist church last Sunday. The Orangemen have caught the im- proving spirit, and .very nicely re - shingled their hall. Mr D. J.

Mr Rennie is preparing a large class for the entrance this year, and some for Junior leaving. Miss Wilson has returned from an extended visit to Woodstock and Toronto. Varna ACCIDENT.—An •accident of rather a serious nature happened one day last week to Mr Andrew Duncan, near Varna. He was driving a young colt, `and -the animalnetgoing just right, he touched it with the whip, when the colt kickedhim in the face, knocking out ten teeth and breaking two of his fingers. His face is considerably swol- len, but he is doing as well as can be expected, but it was a close call. GOOD OPENING.—There is an excel- lent opening for a good doctor in Var- na, as we are well supplied with all the other advantages a live town has. We do not see why a good practise for a live man could not be worked up; there is a good surrounding country, and nothing to hinder a good man going right to work and doing well. From an occasional correspondent. SERVICES.—Quarterlymeeting ser- vices were held in the Methodist church here, last Sunday. Rev. Mr Howell, of Goderich, Chairman of the District, preached a very interesting and in- structive sermon. after which the sac- rament of the Lord's Supper wits ad- ministered to a great many. This church has got a new silver plate com- munion service; great thanks are due to Mrs Walker, for her labor in obtain- ing it. LECTURE.—Rev Mr Kerrin delivered his weekly lecture last Friday night, in St. John's church. The subject of the lecture was "The Bible, the word of God." The reverend gentleman handled his subject well. The week previous he delivered a lecture entitled "Why we are Protestants." They are all veryfine Iectures, and are creating a great interest in the vicinity. .NOTES.—Mr Moffatt was taken sud- denly ill with inflammation of the bow- els, but, we .arepleased. to •say, he is much better, and able to be around again. Mr John Foote, of Detroit Medical College, is home on a visit, for a few days; he is going to spend the summer vacation with Dr. Lyon, of Zilwaukie. Mr Secord,we are sorry to say, is still very low. East Wawanosh SCHOOL MATTEn5.—As the time for the arbitration re the union school at Belgrave approaches, discussion of the plan is being more indulged in. About nine out of every ten who are concern- ed in the matter are against the union section, on the terms proposed by the agitators. We trust those who decide the matter will glean all the informa- tion possible, take a common-sense view of the matter, and leave things as they are. We may trouble you for space on this matter on some future Occtsion. NOTES.—The funeral of the infaait. Son of John Cdultes, jr., took place •o Sitriday afternoon, interment being€n Blyth cemetery.

One morning after the recent rains had run off a little, John found a roll of beautifully marked and flavored butter, sitting on a log at the edge of the creek behind the barn. His story is that the butter came down the creek and just as it got to that spot, the water suddenly went down and left the roll on the log. This night be true, but we think if, in waiting; for the next flood to bring the girl and the basket along, he would take the hint and go for the girl himself it would be a ggreat. deal more sensible as well as business like. Come John, butter is a thing that will float about as good as your story; so you had better acknowledge , that you know all about the business. Zurich.
