FINDING FAULT. -Dear NEWS -RE- CORD, -I am not in the habit of writing to newspapers and hope you will not object to my remarks. As to municipal deputy -returning officers, myself and many friends are grieved to learn that Messrs. Thos Johnston and Thos. Walker were taken by the ears by grit councillors at the last council meeting and voted out of the positions they were justly named for. There was no fault to find with them. They have given the best of satisfaction in the past, and no objection was urged. Being a taxpayer and having a voice as a voter, I take it for granted "no tory need apply" and opposition to our resent representatives is invited. This is a feature of municipal or ward politics I much deplore. True, the majority rules, but why so unjustly ? Messrs. Johnston and Walker were named. There was no need for a change as far as 1 can see. If this was not a party dodge I ask Mr. Cooper, Mr. Overbury, Mr. McMurray, or other members of the Council to explain their position - through these columns.- Yours, FAIR PLAY. County Currency. What has happened our Morris cor respondent? There is talk of an electric light plant being placed in Ripley. Seaforth is such an excellent market town that good grit horses sell for $1.50 each.

The Presbyterians of Bayfield have announced Friday. Dec. 21st 'as the date set for their Christmas entertain- ment. The date of the church of Eng- land Sabbath School Christmas tree and concert is not yet fixed, but will likely be between Christmas and New Y ears. A letter received by friends in Luck - now, states that Wm. Mellis, for nianv year express agent at Lucknow, is lying dangerously ill in the city of Mexico. He had a severe at- tack of typhoid fever, and was improv- ing but has taken a relapse. A very pleasant event took place at the residence of Mr. Samuel Rathwell, Goderich township, on Wedensday evening, Dec 511, it being the marriage of his daughter Annie, to Mr William Beacom, all of the township of Gode- rich. The marriage ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Mr. Oliphant, of Bayfield. The bride was made the re- cipient of many valuable and useful presents. THE NEWS RECORD extends its hearty congratulations to the happy couple. Another of theioneer settlers of Hullett passed away on the morning of the 3rd inst., in the person of Mr. Allan Farnham. For some time past„ Mr. Farnham' has not enjoyed the best of health, and while assisting a neigh- bor to thresh two months ago, he con- tracted a cold resulting in congestion of the lungs, which speedily turned into consumption and notwithstanding efficient medical skill and careful nurs- ing, that dreaded disease carried Mr. Farnham with remarkable speed to his death. The deceased was a man of sterling character, beloved h all whoen- joyed his acquaintance, a life long Lib- eral, and died trusting in the power of a Saviour to lift him above the trials of this life to a grand hereafter.

On Saturday the interment took place in Maitland cemetery. a very long pro- cession following the remains of the kindly old resident whose name is so well remembered throughout Huron. Mr. A. Smith, jr., is suffering from an attack of typhoid fever. Last meeting this terpr of the Col- legiate Institute Literary Society on Friday evening. Mrs. D. Cantelon accidently burned one of her eyes on Saturday, and will he confined to her bed for some days. A plot in Maitland cemetery has been planked over to keep the grass:froom coming through, and on the plank sev- eral inches of wave washed stones, or shingle is placed.' The innovation is saidh . to a in harmony with StlniL. but to our mind there is no harmony in the system. The wife of W. W. McVicar died very suddenly on Friday. The deceas- ed lady, who had not reached 22, leaves a bahy girl 3 weeks old, and partook of early breakfast with her husband. Later on in the day she remarked to her sister that she was cold and going thoughtshe g g ng to die. Her sister called in a neighbor. and a doc- tor was soon in attendance, and in about, an hour Mrs. McVicar appeared to be recovering. In a little over an hour afterwards death ,ensued. The cause of death was pneumonia, induc- ed by cold -after recent confinement. The funeral took place on Sunday, the casket being placed in Maitland ceme- tery. Messrs. F. F. Laurence, Aus- brook. J.' J. Doyle, Tighe, Crawford and Jas. Reid were the pall bearers, and a large uutnber of sympathizing friends were present at the grave.

The Public School Board will meet: pursuant to adjournment on Monday evening. The churchwardens of St. George's offer a reward for the conviction of the person or persons who maliciously broke several of the stained glass win- dows recently. Window breaking is such a nuisance that all well disposed persons should help in stopping it, for a house cannot be left untenanted for one day before half the windows'there- in are maliciously broken. • Except for the Mayor's chair, we have not heard of any new aspirants for the town council of '95. Twenty years since Mr. Garrow in the county council got a motion passed referring to a House of Refuge. Last week his partner, Mr. Proudfoot, as chairman of the committee, reported to the sarne power recommending that a tender to build a House of Refuge be accepted, and his report was adopted. It will thus be seen that it takes 20 years to start such a building, but how long will it take to fill it? Mr. Stanley, of Lucan, who repre- sented Biddulph in Huron's County Council, before that township was attached to Middlesex, was in town the past week reviewing old scenes and work. While in Goderich the gentleman was the guest of A. P. Mc- Lean, Esq. Last week the steamer Lake Michi- gan delivered 16,000 bushels of Mani- toba wheat at the Big Mill.

U. W., and the For- esters, to which orders deceased be- longed, taking charge of the obsequies. Bros. Lane, Downing, G. W. Thom- son, Tait, Davison and Stoddard were the pall bearers, and there was a very large attendance of friends. The de- ceasedentleman leaves a widow, 3 sons and 1 daughter to mourn his de- parture, and a very large circle will regret the call that has taken their ever kindly and courteous friend to old Ma itland.

The Committee on House of Refuge reported at some length, hut, as most of the details have been reported prev- iously we merely state that S. S. Coop- er, of Clinton. was awarded the con- tract for building at $9,874, and that Messrs. Fowler, the architects, be re- tained to supervise at 27 per cent, for which remuneration one member of the firm is to be continually on the ground, but how a sum of less than $250 is to pay an architect for at least 6 months steady work, we cannot understand. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT. 1. In reference to the report of Com- mittee re House of Refuge, recommend that said report he carried out in full. 2. In reference' to resolution of Messrs. Griffin and Kennedy re engin- eers travelling expenses. We recom- mend no action at present. 3.

Our TWENTY-FIVE Japan is grand, It pleases all creation, Our Green, and Black, on every hand Receive high commendation. The entertainment in connection with the Sunday School, held in the school house on Thursday evening, the 6th Inst, was a success. The musical part of the entertainment was furnish- ed by a quartette from Holinesville, Mr. zard soloist, Mr. J. H. Lowery and urnmerhill choir. The instru- mental music on organ was given by Miss Nesbitt and that on the violin by Messrs C: and W. Lowery and E. Mc- Ilveen. The club swinging by Mr. Mc- Roberts, 'teacher, of Holmesvllle, is worthy of special mention. The reci- tations, readings and dialogues were well received, the acting in the latter being particularly good and true to life. The acting of Mr. Harry Thompson and Miss Murphy in their respective characters is deserving of special men- tion. At,+ the conclusion the usual votes of thanks were tendered. Rev. L. W. Diehl performed the duties of chairman in a manner Satisfactory to all. The people of this vicinity are celebrated for the excellent order they keep at public gatherings and on this occasion, although the .building was packed and some had to stand, the hest of order prevailed during the render- ing of the programme, which took over three hours. The prizes were distri- buted to the Sunday School scholars at the close and all seemed well pleas- ed with the selection. The meeting closed with God Save the Queen. Cheese is in the air. Our entertain- ment the other evening was not con- sidered complete without a reading on "Cheese." And the chairman also made some remarks about cheese and cheese factories. The farmers of this vicinity are waking up to the fact that there is money in cheese and lots of it and as a consequence Messrs. Joshua Hill and Thomas Churchill are making preparations for putting up a cheese factory for next spring. To the farm- ers who have not already become pat- rons of this prospective cheese factory I would say join in with the majority. In union is strength. The more that go into it the more profit there is for each as it takes almost the same to run the business with few as with many patrons. The annual public examination of the puhlic school here will he held on Thursday, the 20th inst., commencing at 10 o'clock aL. ni. with lunch at noon. Besides the ordinary school work there will be drills, dialogues, recitations, &c., by the pupils and also entertain- ment from the older ones as well.
