February and March, and the

CLINTON
Hullett
NOTES.—A sleigh load of young folk
from the 13th visited Richard Sander -
son's one evening last week ; a very
enjoyable time was spent. Messrs Mc-
Donald and Young delivered two very
fine horses in Seafortb,which they sold
to Mt Archibald at fair figures, con-
sidering the times. Mr John Brigham
is giving his barn yard a coat of gravel.
Mr_ Therms Carter and his daughter
Julia have moved to St. Joseph, Mich.;
where they intend to remain. Miss
Lucy Carter, of Hullett, has gone to
Detroit, where she has a good situa-
tion. Mre Lawrence, sr., of the 13th
con., is at present in a very low condi-
tion; heatt disease is the trouble, Mrs
Cuningham, sr., and Mrs James Scott
are also very poorly; all three are old
landmarke, of which very few are left.
Mr W. Cunningham is busy crushing
grain, nutting straw, and threshing
peas by horse power; the pea thresher
is the cleaner off an old threshing ma-
chine, driven by a belt from the straw -
cutter; it cleans the peas ready for
market as fast as they can be put
through a straw cutter. Mr Amos
Spuhl had the misfortune on Friday
last to have a valuable blood colt break
its leg, while out for exercise. Snow
blockades are the order of the day at
time of writing, the 15th con. being
almost impassable, an unusual thing
for that line.
(Too late for last week).
PLEASANT EVENING.—On Tuesday
evening of last week a couple of sleigh
loads from Harlock entered the resi-
dence of Mr Thos. McMichael, on the
2nd con., where, a most enjoyable even-
ing was spent in dancing, singing and
other amusements. After having en-
joyed themselves to the utmost, at an
early hour, the company began to re-
trace their steps homeward, all highly
satisfied with the evening's entertain-
ment, and deeply grateful to the host
and hostess, who left nothing undone
that would add to the evening's plea-
sure.
East Wawanosh.
NOTES.—Wm. Wigbtman has pur-
chased the farm on the eastern boun-
dary formerly owned by P. McCassey,
containing ten acres, for the sum of
$600. There has been considerable
sickness of late, a great many suffer-
ing from colds. Mrs D. Dunbar con-
tinues very poorly. Mr and Mrs S.
Fells are both on the sick list at pre-
sent; the former is recoyering, and will
soon be convalescent. Schools have
been poorly attended the past fort-
night.
Auburn.
Narks.—Mr G. McGee is at present
very Al. We are glad to state that W.
-'' D. Wilson is improving, but not very
rapidly. Mr O. Decker is able to be
out again after a short illness. Owing
to the state of the weather and roads
•it has been impossible for the mail
man to go his north trips last week.
The concert under the auspices of O.

• NOTES.—Our town hes had a week
of old fashioned weather, business has
been almost brought to a stand still
and the churches were only half filled
on Sunday; the farmers would break
the roads to town if the storm would
only let up for a day or two. The S.S.
convention, held in Knox church last
Monday and Tuesday, was nearly
snowed under; very few delegates from
outside pointe turned up; we only sent
out one train, on Monday, and two
came in, at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Quart-
erly meeting services will be held in
the two Methodist churches next Sun-
day morning. An incipient fire in the
Central school, on Monday, frightened
the school children, who marched out
in orderly manner, and fortunately
the fire was extinguished without
much trouble.
Stanley
NOTES.—Mr Mcllveen, Reeve, and
the Deputy -Reeve attended County
Council last week. Owing to the
stormy weather the attendance of the
rural schools is small. Misses M. and
C. Brownett, of Goderich, are visiting
under the parental roof, accompanied
by their friend, Mrs McArthy. The
boys of S.S. No. 3 have got a football,
S. 8. No. 3 has get one of Webster's
International Dictionaries from Coop-
er's store, Clinton. As Mr Clarke was
going from Bayfield to Brucefleld, on
Monday morning, he. met with an ac-
cident, breaking the tongue of the
stage in. two pieces while trying to get
through a snowdrift opposite the Pres-
byterian church. Mr and Mrs Lander -
km, of Pembina Mountains, Man.,
with their,family of three children,
were visitig friends in Stanley this
week; Mre_Landeriun's parents, Wm.
Nevin and=Ari'n- McEwan,Svere form-
erly residents of the second of Stanley;
they left on Tuesday on their return
home. Mr Alex. Tule, and Mr and Mrs
Caskey, of Portage la Prairie, Man.,
are visiting friends in Stanley at pres-
ent. Mr Malcolm McEwen, Miss Isa-
bella, Mrs Jas. Aikenhead and Miss
Isabella Aikenhead left on Tuesday
for a trip to Kent Co. to visit friends
and attend the marriage of a niece.

up the roads; they are again open for
travel.
Tucicersm ith.
CI3uRcH.—Owing to the quarterly
service being held in Clinton next Sun-
day, there will be no service at Turn-
er's appointment. The members of
the Epworth League will attend the
cottage prayer meeting on the London
road, in the evening.
THE MERRY DANcE.—A number of
the young people from the 2nd con.,
London road and Clinton, spent a very
pleasant evening at the residence of
Mr Heywood; all was enjoyment. A
sleigh load of young people, full of
curiosity, called at the house to see
what was going on, but were refused
admittance, and they went away
quietly.
NOTES.—As far as we can learn, our
citizens have not suffered much during
the past storm; although the roads
were badly blocked, the residents of
the township set to work with willing
minds and soon made the roads pass-
able. Mr Thos. Moore, of the London
road, has been seriously ill with in-
flammation of the lungs, but is now
recovering.
(Intended for last week)
NOTES.—Most of the side roads and
back lines are blocked with snow. The
painting of Turner's church will be
completed this week, and will be dry
enough for useat an early date. A
load of the young people of the west
end spent a pleasant evening at the
residence of Mr Isaac Dodd, Clinton,
last Monday evening. Miss Selena
Nott has returned home from a visit
with relatives in Hullett. Mr Albert
Dustow, of Belmore, is visiting his
uncle, Mr J. Nott, London road.
Constance. '
NOTES.—The young people, of our
vintage, are busy practising for a liter-
aryanmusical entertainment, there
obect, we understand, is to raise
money to pay for the new organ in
the Methodist church. Mr W. R.
Cook, our genial blacksmith, is doing a
rushing business this winter; it pays to
keep a good foreman. Rev Mr Hector,
the famous black Knight, will lecture
in the Methodist church under the auto
pies of the Good Templars, on Satur-
day evening, Feb. 7th; this gentle-
man needs no introduction to the pub -
lid here, as he is far-famed as a lectur-
er. The ypung people's entertainment
of which the proceeds go toga s the
organ fund, will be held in the etho-
dist church on Tuesday, Feb, L
+Nokia, -•Mr 5, Reid, our genial
storekeeper, has presented his (laugh-
ter, Agnes.' with a handsome new, or-
gan, Mr Geo, Stevens is settling (IOWA
to the realities L• of life; never mind,'
George, age will tell'"on them all. Mr
T. Neilans took a surprise party to Mr
T. McMichael's last week; they report
a good time. ` Mr H. Wallace is talk-
ing of giving the boys a party in the
near future- A number of our young
people have received invitations and
intend taking in Fireman's ball in Sea -
forth, whieh is to be held on the 8th.
Mr R. Staples does not intend return-
ing to Manitoba till the fall, having
rented his farm to his brother. Our
school had rather a small attendance
last week, owing to the bad • roads.
One of our young men got storm -staid
south of here last Friday, but what
krwx it all out, he made two or three
bold attempts but failed;too bad wasn't
it, Geordie. Our mail• driver did not
succeed in getting through on Wed-
nednesday of last week.
Varna.
NOTES.—Misses Mary Johnson and
Ann Jane and Harriet Keyes, of ge-
na, left for Toronto on Wednesday;
we will miss the girls very much. its
they are very estimable young ladies.

resident of this township, died at his
home, on the Goshen line, Stanley, on
Monday last. Deceased was a mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church, pf Eng-
lish parentage, in politics a Conserva-
tive and was upwards of 75 years of
age.
CHURCH.—The Messrs Rines and sire
ter, Miss Rines, are here this week do-
ing gospel temperance work, under the
auspices of the Royal Templars of
Temperance; they are very good sing-
ers and the elder brother has the re-
putation of being quite an interesting
speaker; they were in Brucefleid last
week and were well received. Rev. H.
A. Newcombe, of Clinton, may be ex-
pected to preach here at the Methodist
quarterly meeting next Sabbath.
DISAPPOINTED. -=On Friday night
last a large number of the readers of
the Expositor, on reaching the post -
office, were seriously disappointed on
finding that their Expositors had gone
on to Bayfield with other mailinatter,
but our obliging postmaster, who was
equal to the occasion, sent the mana-
ging director of that department in
post haste to the metropolis of Stanley
to bring back the missing papers,
which°he succeeded in getting, and on
his return ;' while facing the blinding
blizzard, hour young director, with
chum Charlie lost their way, the horse
refusing to go any further stopped
short, to Charlie's sorrow, throwing
him out head -first into a snow -bank.
We have not heard how the night was
spent, but they arrived next morning
bringing up the rear of Her Majesty's
mail.
Goderich Township..,
FARM SOLn.—Mr John Churchill, of
the 14th con., has sold his farm to his
three sons.
NOTES.—Miss Yeo, who was recent-
ly married, had been organist of Cole's
church, not Bethel,as erroneously stat-
ed; Miss Susie Elliott, who has been
connected with the church for some
time, and is well qualified for the posi-
tion, has been chosen in her place.
PATRONS.—At the last meeting of P.
A. P. of I. Mr. W. T. Lawrence was
chosen as the delegate to county con-
vention, to be held in Clinton on Tues-
day, Feb. 5. Patronism on the 18th
concession is by no means a tiring of
the past, as -the enthusiasrdmanifested
at said meeting showed.
NEW HousE.—MrAlex. Osbaldeston,
of the Huron road, has decided to erect
anew house. It will be a substantial
brick dwelling, two stories, and when
completed will he a very comfortable
residence. Mr S. S. Cooper has the
contract, and will doubtless finish it
up in good style.
PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the
farm of Mr W. Wise, behind his barn,
stands an unused well, 70 feet deep; in
some manner it got uncovered and a
gander fell down it the other day. One
of the boys was lowered into the well
to recover the gander, 'and to his sur-
prise he found a sheep, which had been
lost three weeks before; the sheep was
standing on a small projection, just
above the water, and when taken into
the fresh air had sufficient strength
left to amble off in search of nourish-
ment.

cording to statute. The following

established some time ago, and for
some reason dropped for a time, is
again to be revived, the first of which

moters are working to make it a
success,
NOTES.—For some reason or other
the lecture of Miss Phelp's, to have
been given in the Methodist church on
Tuesday evening, was again postpon-
ed. The attendance at the different
churches on Sunday was small, the re-
sult'of the storm; fair weather Chris-
tians being conspicuous by their ab-
sence. Mr Moore, mail carrier, was
unable to reach Westfield or St. Au-
gustine all last week, the roads being
impassable from the storm. Mrs Hol-
tbam, Staffa, has been a guest at the
home of her brother Mr J. M. Hamil-
ton, the past week. Reeve N. H.
Young was in Goderich last week at-
tending the County Council. Mr R.

his niece, Mrs A. H. Tierney, at pres-
ent. A. 8. Dickson and Constable

urday. The band held a business meet-
ing on Friday night, at which it was
decided to petition the city fathers for
agrant; pay theirleader and give the
citizens a benefit at least once a week
in the future; may their hopes be real-
ized in the face of funds being low, for
music bath charms, &c. Mr W. Ta-
man, after a. week's indisposition, is,
we are glad to learn, recovering and
will soon be round again. Court of
Revision was held in Industry hall on

Holmesville.
CHANGE.—The "palace" has again
changed hands. The Gregg Bros., who.
have for some time been boarding at
the "Ramsey house," have leased it
and will occupy it in a few days. The
village is therefore provided with a
"Gregg House."
CHEESE. --Messrs President Forester
and Director Holland visited Bluevale
cheese factory on Wednesday, pro-
specting upon a plan for the cheese
factory to be erected here. Bluevale
factory, we understand, is a model one
and the directors would do well to
copy the plan.

Mr R. Downs, Clinton's noted comic,
Mr G. F. Oakes and others. Owing to
the public entertainment the members
of Court Selwood are requested to
meet on the evening of Wednesday,
Feb. 6th, for the transaction of busi-
ness.
PATRONS OF INDUSTRY.—At the last
meeting Mr H. Elford's speech on
"Best breed for milk, cheese and but-
ter" came to the conclusion that the
Jerseys were the best. After which
there were several entered into discus-
sion, trying to show that there were
other breeds equal, if not better for the
above mentioned; thus ended a good
speech and aprofltable discussion. The
entertainment for next night, Feb.

DEATH.—It is with deep regret we
chronicle the death of James Murray,
eldest son of Mr Robert Murray, 8th
con., who died suddenly at his father's
residence, on the 14th inst. Mr Mur-
ray, who had been in Dakota for about
six years, had only returned home
about two weeks before his death, and
although in poor health, no immediate
dangerlwas apprehended,but heart fail-
ure caused his sudden demise. He
was highly respected and well thought
of by all who knew him, and his sud-
den death'was a great blow to his fami-
ly, especially to his mother, who was
in delicate health. His sister, Miss
Ellen Murray, cf Minneapolis, arrived
home a couple of hours before the
funeral left for the cemetery. Mr and
Mrs Murray and family have the sym-
pathy of a very large circle of friends
in their sad bereavement.
