'ilivaillkillimadamassmosmignoweemee seessmeewesseasso i Wing -ham Flom h Lights Tuxtla AGAIN.—After a spell of sick- ness, Mr Linklater, Carr's foreman, is there again, representing the manu- facture of flour and all other branches pertaining thereto. No'rxe,—Rev. Mr Ford, of Clinton, preaches for Rev. Dr. Gifford, of Wingham, Sunday, April 5th. Wing - ham is a worthy town, and the ERA a worthy paper, consequently for a short period the former will he represented by the latter. FIRE.—On Saturday afternoon -the fire alarm pealed forth. and with Wingham promptness, our brave fire- men were at their post. The origin of alarm was the residence occupied by Mr C. Knechtel. It was quickly ex- tinguished before much damage had been executed. $M0K1SIf;,AwAY.—The beautiful new Un till Furniture Factory is again in fall blast, and gratifying it is to our tiitizeiis egaio to -see the~ smoke Yrom 'ethpI a -stack ascending heaven - Wird; the substantiality of the present company and its beautiful plant, should be a great 'source of congratulation to its present stockholders. The imme- diate requirements of Wingham now are a High School and the proposed new electric railroad to touch here on its way to Goderich; se mote it be. HARDLY ACCURATE.—The Globe's big ace upt on Saturday concerning the Wingbam traiiedy, was not as authentic as it might have been, espec- ially in the insinuation it hurled at one of Wingham's most respected citizens. Be it known that Mr Newton's reputa- tion cannot be injured by the impulse of an over zealous reporter. Mr New- ton is a total abstainer and his lan- guage always that which becometh a rpan and a citizen; he has and does yet hold high office in different fraternal ocieties. Poker is a game which he has not played for many_years; he be- lieves, as do most of Wingham citi- zens, that Fields deserved a whipping, although,not quite so much as he got. The Gl 's reporter interviewed the familyon Sunday,pwhen their sorrow was resh, it is natural that they should Wish to hide tbeir father's shame ahed protect the honor of their own lineage, but there is ample proof that Field, was not always an affec- tionate father and loving husband, if 'so why sb tad the protection of our chief have been solicited, and if so kind a father as the Globe represented him to have been, why was he not al- lowed to stay for a few days at the daughter's, whom he visited atter the boys had punished him. Were he her father or not„ did be not stand in the place of a father, and bas he not stolen from his adopted her virture and hon- or. Fields now is beyond all earthly tribunals, and while we cannot mourn for him, we do moat heartily and eincerelyi3ytnpathize with his family now in the time of their great trial, and trust that a wise Providence will direct thein in this their hour of need and of great tribulation. There are those who are anxiously awaiting the verdict of the adjourned inquest of the 3Ist inst. LATER PARLICt7LAR6. A London detective arrived Wednes- day morning, and interviewed several of those whom he thinks are connect- ed with the case, but he thinks It will not be as serious as some suppose, ow- ing to the great distance travelled by by Mr Field before his death. He says no one knows to What extent he was exposed during hitt travels, but if it is pushed most decidedly there will be some arrests for altptituIt, payable With , a fine. whereas, if fou acd2griilty of man- slaughter it would. be,,penitentiary.

Good playing was very difficult, owing to the very strong wind that was blow- ing and the miserable state of the ground. But our boys were too many for the Little Fry, for they succeeded in scoring two goals to their one. The game was witnessed by a large num- ber of spectators, who kept up a con- stant cheering during the match. Ncerai—Mrs H. Cook, of the Huron road, spent Sunday with friends at Egmondville.
