The London, Eng., Daily News believes Premier Laurier has made an excellent be- gining. " His confident tone," it says, " will be justified by the event.'

Advices have been received of some of the shipments of Canadian dead poultry that were sent to he English Christmas and New Year's markets, which turned out very satisfactorily, showing fairly good pro• fits, although not so large as those realized" last year, owing to the heavy increase in shipments.

Wingham Whispers MIt EDITOR. -1 cannot write you much this week, owing to the fact that Old King Grip hes drafted me into his service, and much against my will has held me .captive. He grips me hard by the back of the neck and by my head, and when I try to think my thinking apparatus seems to get all up- side down. Why this week I would have told you about a big convention that was held in the Ptesbyterian church, onalonday night, and how the evening session was made most won- derfully interesting to all present, by magic views of many noble struct ures in this and other countries, all connect- ed with the adherents of the pious John Knox. Then again, on Tuesday evening; in the same building, Rev Jn. Young, an old Colborne bny, lectiti ed befoul a very appreciative audience: but oldgrip will nut let Inc go into de- tails. The Wingham boys must look after their laurels a little keener, for what do you think, a little village like Lucknow sent over it hockey team on Monday night, and in Stephenson's rink the match was played, and the Lecknow hays knocked all the spots off the Wingliani boys completely; the tk inghain boys had a Sill for goal keeper (I do not wean a window sill) but in spile of all his efforts the Lucknow warriors got there almost every time. Then again, Mr S. Merri- field, who last spring was so near dy- ing, is again laid low with the same trouble, but we are glad that the last reports we hear are favorable as to his ultimate recovery. Say, though, in spite of old grip I laughed a little on Monday, and I'll tell you why, but do not say anything about it. On Sunday one of the boys took his best, girl for a co tter d ri ye, and the snow me) ti tig rite idly during the day, coinpelled hint to borrow a buggy to brine; tier home, and then on Monday he had to return the buggy and fetch home the cutter; I don't think he took his girl with him c he second trip, of course he could have taken lots of good things with him, for he knows how theyare made, even't he Clinton people know this, for he once resided in your city, The Array is soon to have a great, big "go." On Sunday last the Methodist church pulpit was occupied by another reve- rend gen tleman, Dr Gifford being away preaching anniversary- sertnope. Mr. Frank La vidson has moved into a house near the sehool. If this grip did not catch rrie so I could also tell you of an incident that occurred in the Chi- nese laundry not very long ago; a, very zealous wo: kerfor the Mastei called upon Mr John, and in the course of can venation asked him if he knew the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Chinaman made the following reply, "Me don't know he, he gets no washee done here;" hut we are glad to tell you that this same visitor is trying to lead him to that fountain which washes whiter than the snow.

A COUNTY COUNCILLOR MA RRTED.— John Beeneweis. ex• Reeve of McKillop and member -elect for district 2 uf the new comity council of Perth, was mar- ried at Toronto Jan. 14, his bride being • Miss Sophia Steiss, of Oran brook. Rev, Mr Miller, pastor of the Queen City Lutheran church, Ned the nuptial knot in the presence of a few fiiends. Mr. and Mrs Benneweis journeyed home- ward immediately after the ceremony. Mr Benneweis has a larger share of mu- nicipal experience than perhaps than any other man of his age. He is still a young man, but has served seven years as councillor and reeve of McKillop and one year'as reeve of Logan. His nu- merous friends in both Perth and Hu- ron will join in wishing him even greater usefulness and popularity as a benedict. At s. meeting of the oreditore of Mr F. X. Messner, held at Formosa, for the purpose of forming a joint stock company to take over the estate and pay the debts of the in- eolvent, only 25 of Mr Messner's 300 cred- itors were present. It is currently reported that John Hick- ingbottom,of West Wawanosh, left sudden- ly and unexpectedly for unknown parts last week. Since his departure, however, things have onee to light which show this move to have been premeditated, as every 'saleable article about the place has been disposed of, as well as many recent debte contracted. Authority es s that3, besides a mortgage of $4,000, is left unpaid'.
