STOOK NOTES. -Last year, out of fif- teen calves dropped on the farm of Mr Ja_irles Snell, Hallett, 14 of them were i�rales; this season, out of 12, eleven of tl3em are females. Mr Will Snell has ttv%'oo male calves and four lambs already this season. NOT LEGAL. -Many people are under to impression that public positions, ch as assessor, collector, etc., either in towns or rural municipalities, can be let by tender, and the man offering to do the work for the lowest amount, to receive it. This is incorrect. The municipal Act clearly states that the Council must fix the salary, and ask for applicants or not, just as it likes. To SUBSCRIBERS. -A great many of our subscribers have renewed their subscriptions for 1895, and all such we return our cordial thanks. •We will be exceedingly obliged if the balance will do likewise. It may be a small matter for each individual subscriber to• attend to, but it becomes a large matter to us in the aggregate. SNOW -SHOEING. -On Monday Messrs Gilroy, T. Jackson, jr., and J. Chidley snow -shoed to Seafrth; it took them about three hours; Messrs W. Bowers and Andrews walked up to the snow- plow wreck, and then to Goderich; Dr. Turnbull had to use snow -shoes the same day to reach an out-of-town patient. Mr John Ransford has found it necessary to use snow -shoes on several occasions in coming from his residence to town. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. -On Monday a young man named Jas. Thurd met with a serious accident at Stapleton. He was helping to pack salt, when an immense mass slipped down and buried him completely out of sight; when nis companions dug him out he was blue from suffocation, and had sustained a dislocation of the shoulder, his nose was broken, hip injured and it is fear- ed he is hurt internally. One block of salt which fell on him weighed 500 lbs. What possibly saved his life was the fact that he held an empty barrel in his hand, which was smashed to atoms.

Moore. Chap., R. D. Chowen. Marshall, Jook. Guard, N. Brown Sentinel, J. Foster Organist, Miss Lily Miller. The number of members in good standing is 36. This shows a small in- crease during the quarter. The mem- bers do not seem at all likely to relax the great efforts they have been mak- ing in the cause of Temperance. and we look forward to a quarter of in- creased prosperity, It was decided to have an open meeting on the evening of Feb. 16th, when it is likely one of the district officers will give an ad- dress. Further particulars of this meeting will be given later. THE STORM. -The storm of the last week was nothing unusual for this sec- tion, yet it was severe enough to sat- isfy even the most fastidious in the matter of weather. Roads in all direc- tions were badly blocked; in the vicini- ty of Bayfield there was little or no snow on the road. It is said that the snow fall at Wingham and Teeswater is much heavier than it is here. A couple of sleigh loads of young people undertook to attend the Seaforth car- nival, on Friday night, and after get- ting upset twice before dthey reached Stapleton, and finding the road litter - ally impassable, they concluded it was no go,.and returned to town. Sunday evening a snow plow and two engines that were going through to Goderich, were thrown off the track two miles west of Holmesville; the rails spread, one of them curling like a half-moon, and the plow was sent into a field, being turned round with its nose to the track; both engines were ditched, one being so badly wrecked that it is worthless. Fortunately none of the employees were seriously hurt by the rutaaif. It took a long time to get the road clear on Monday, and no trains weite run until late hl the afternoon. Farmers in all sections are bus's di ging out the roads, and traffic is' - ruing the even tenor of its way..• 1:.

Mc- Kenzie is still confined to the house by an attack of neuralgia. The Kickapoo Indians contributed $50 to the town treasury for the use of the hall while here, and it is a question if they made much more than that altogether. Mr S. S. Cooper has just completed a 20 foot addition to his planing mill, and has ordered two new machines to ac- commodate his business; he this week contracted to build a new brick house for Mr A. Osbaldeston, Goderich town- ship. The lecture on South Africa, given by Mr Aiken, on Tuesday even- ing, was not largely attended; it was illustrated by stereoptican views, and was interesting and instructive, worthy of a considerably larger audience. Many who saw Dr. Stanley, of Brant- ford, here last week, were struck by his close resemblance to Dr. Williams, formerly of town; they were almost as much alike as two peas.- Miss O. Miller, of St. Thomas, is home on a visit. Mr W. McKowen, is now engaged with Mr John Tedford. Master Walter Turnbull (brother of Dr. Turnbull) has taken a position with Farran & Tin- dall, bankers. A number of races were announced to come off at the Palace Rink last night, for which good prizes were to be given. Mr Albert Seeley has a neat new sign, the work of M Chas. Bowers.

The Kicka- pp0o Indian Dr. said that Mr Thomas H. Cook, of Goderich township was the beat looking young map in the town hall, and he also received a prize with thanks ; it's no wonder he done well in the picture line business for his brother artist. Mr J. B. Lindsay, of the Huron road, is going to erect a large two story house this spring, and has let the contract to Mr S.111 Oooper. I Pp EBRTJARY! The meaning of the word We've just found out that it is derived from the Latin word februo-to purify by sacrifice. That applies so aptly to our stock, and intentions that we we can't help mentioning it. Just as our stock -taking sale ends. and as new goods are coming almost every day, we propose to clear out the odds and ends remaining of our winter stock, even if we have to make great sacrifice to do it. Among a lot of new goods received this week is a line of all silk Ribbons that are very much cheaper than anything we have ever shown. Remember, they are pure silk, and we have nearly all colors. You'll see them in our Rattenbury St. window, on Saturday. Here are the widths and prices : No. 5, 4c No 9, 6c. No. 16, 10c. We sell up to date goods at up to date prices. Estate J.
