The ladies provided a • ',Sumptuous repast and after ample jus- tice had been done to the good things provided the remainder of the evening was spent in music and social inter- conrse. The following is the address 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 out a boot and shoe shop in the west end of Jas. Armstrong's cooperage. We fully predict for him a prosperous trade, as he is a young man with lots of vim and a first-class mechanic. Port Albert. John Whitely, wife and family, of the 4th con., Ashfield, spent Sunday afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Hawkins. Precious Aggie, of Saltford, was the guest of Adam Hawkins during the past week. Adam Green returned home on Thursday last from Michigan, near the "Soo." He seen our old townsman, Geo. Irwin, at the "Soo," and he says George is as big and fat as Anthony Allen, and reads Tiiait: NEws-REcoltn every time. Geo. knows a good paper when he sees it. The notorious Geo.- A. Green, who skipped out from his wife and family about fifteen months ago to uncle Sam's domain? returned to the bosom of his "better half:' last week. The fatted calf was killed and a general jamboree followed. The Martin boys who have bought out Clark & Lee's fishing rigs, pound nets, &c., &c., have also finished their new boat and will launch her this week for gill net -fishing. They expect to set their nets in a few days if the weather continues to be. fine. The breach in the flume of the flour mills has been repaired and the grind- ing business has started again. The most beautiful fine weather still continues along the Lake Shore re- gardless of our "Moses Oats" predic- tions to the contrary—gad—gad says Harry this is hard on the "onions". Sugar making is now in order and a grand season for the business. Buck- wheat pancakes and maple molasses are—well—superabundant. London Road. Once again the London Road Liter- ary Society meets. This time it was 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. Mr. G. W. Woods, of Bayfield,, was in Goderich last week. Troublesome Times in Ireland drew es large audience to the Grand on Fri- day evening.

Rance and McCormick, were remarkably successful in their impersonations. , During the piece some solos were charmingly sung from the wings and orchestral band dis- coursed a splendid programme.

Abner Cosens rode the Maccabee "goat" on Friday night. Abner thinks that there are easier animals to ride. Herbert Crich had nearly fifty cords of wood cut the other day with the sawing machine. This is a very good day's work. All the spring birds are here again, the roads are drying up and altogether .this is very fine weather for March. A Seaforth buyer bought a couple of horses from F. W. Crich and Whit- field Crich for the old country market. Thos. Britton spent last week in this neighborhood assisting Whitfield Crich to cut wood. There is no place like the country, so Tom says. Rather early for fishing, still one of our young gallants drove to the town- ship of Colborne and indulged in that youthful pastime for Sunday. We cannot report what luck. "Pis said that there was only one fish(h)er caught. School will close for Easter holidays on Thursday night and reopen again on Tuesday.

The principals being our Senator and a rich widow. The' marriage certificate is said to have been secured in Galt and a leading bachelor politician of thai,t place is to he the Senator's• best man. It is said that the weddipg will take place in Guelph and that the happy couple will proceed to Ottawa, attend the opening of Parliament and spend their honeymoon. Everything connected with this important event was suppos- ed to be kept perfectly quiet, but how gossipers will exercise their talents 1 The whole business might just as well have been arranged in Hamburg. The principals still aver that there is no truth in the report, however.—New Hamburg Correspondent Stratford Herald. 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.

Albert Barkowsky, eighteen years old, and Geo. Dunn, a bartender, of Chicago, were arrested last week for inflicting serious and cruel wounds upon Thomas T. Davies, of Chicago, a porter in a barber shop, with a red hot poker. Davies went into the saloon owned by Barkowsky's father, greatly under the itifhrence of liquor, and the injuries were inflicted by the prisoners. Both his eyebrows were burned away, and under each eye the hot iron burned a track an inch long, and a similar mark was left behind each ear. On each wrist the skin was burned away for an inch and a half, while on each leg, from the ankle up for a distance of six inches, the hot iron burned almost to the hone. In the region of the abdomen also there are severe burns, while many of his rites are tracked with the hot metal. He will probably be crippled for life.
