ranee has been a resident Mr,. r of
the township for upwards of 28 years,
,and has by his genial and courteous
manner won the respect and esteem of

• ',Sumptuous repast and after ample jus-
tice had been done to the good things

Mn. AND MRS. JOHN TORRANCE.—
•'We, your friends and neighbors as-
sembled here to -night, feel that as you
Are about to remove from among us
• that we are loosing a good neighbor
and useful member of the community.
Since you came here some 28 years ago,
when only a boy, your conduct has
been exemplary throughout and as
you grew in years, you also increased
to influence in society. You have been
prominently before the public, occupy
mg many important public offices,
attaining to the exalted position of
Warden for the County of Huron.
These offices were filled by you with
credit to yourself and profit to the
municipality. We deeply regret that
circumstances are such that we shall be
deprived of the pleasure of your coin.
pony. While expressing our regret at
your departure,, we could not lose the
opportunity of testifying to the uni-
versal respect in which your amiable
wile is held by us. Her genial pres-
ence and constant willingness to help
in every good work, her thoughtful-
ness and kindness to all with whom she
has to do, will make her absence from
our midst a source of deep regret to all.
We wish both you and yours all the
blessings that are the portion of those
who live not merely to get good, but to
do good. As an expression of the good
will we feel, we ]leg your acceptance of
these chairs and haul rack and sincere)
hope that both you nud your good wife
may be long spared to use them, is the
earnest wish of your friends. Mr. Tor-
rance replied in a few well chosen and
appropriate remarks, thanking his
friends on behalf of himself and Mrs.Tor-
rance for the expression of good will
and the very handsome and useful pre-
sents.
Miss Grace Toorance, eldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Toorance, was also
presented the same evening by the
members of the Methodist Church
Choir with a handsome Bible. Miss
Torrance is very popular among the
young people here and will be very
much missed in the social circle.
We regret very much the. serious
illness of Mr. John McNaughton, Sr.
Very slight' hopes are entertained for
his recovery.
Mr. Samuel Rathwell has opened

held at the home of Mr. Geo. Stanbury
and the house was filled to overflowing.
The young men seers to have accepted
the invitation extended to them by
the young ladies, for they were all
there. Perhaps the ladies debate drew
then] there,as it was a very interesting
topic to all. After opening the meet -
with several songs and speeches from
the new officers, Mrs. McKenzie took
her pl.� to uphold town life. Her ad-
dress wits ably delivered and shows the
lady's talent. Next canto Miss Eliza
Waldron as her opponent, with a tell-
ing speech which brought down the
house. The next called upon was Miss
Hattie Dodd, of Tuckersrnith ; her de-
hatinga.ting powers were taxed to the
uttermost to reply to the previous de-
bater (who had brought out all her
pointsin avery statesmanlike way), hut
the applause which followed her ad-
dress fully showed that she had gained
her point from the audience's view.
Miss Mary Nott was the last one to
take the platform. Her address prov-
ed to be too much for the other compe-
titors, for the debate was decided in
favor of Town Life. As we have
devoted so much time and space to the
debate we might just say that the other
part of the programme was rendered
in exceeding good style. The next
meeting will be held at Mr. Waaldron's
to -night, Wednesday.

On Tuesday of last week while some
of the members of the Brussels baud
were waiting in the Council room the
fire was not burning brisk enough to
suit them, and to hurry it some they
undertook to pour the contents of the
oil can in the stove. Of course, the
usual result followed, there was an
explosion
two of
w the e men were
severely burned, and the Town Hall
had a narrow escape. The alarm was
rung the engine taken out and a line of
hose laid to the hall, but by the timely
use of buckets of water the fire was got
out • v ithout the use of the engine.
The Council chamber was badly
scorched. While it may seem a little
harsh to further condemn those, who
have already been so severely punish-
ed for their folly, yet when, by their
acts, they endanger the lives and
property of others, their acts of folly
may become criminal as well. It
woulderha s 1
p p be useless to urge this
as a warning to others, for as long as
coal oil is used, people will put it on
the fire.
