Harry Gostuan is cutting wood for John Netltery at present. Owing to the severe storm prevail ing last week, the roads were tomplet- ly blockaded on the gravel and it was impossible to travel on them, Two young ladies and a younggeutle• men from near Donnybrook drove to ,Myth ono day last week and on retw'u- ing the state of the weather proved too mach for them, and they were forced to take refuge with the ladies' uncle, residing about three miles from Blyth where they remained storm - stayed for five clays. Considerable excitement exists in some quarters over the proposal tr, melte the afflicted parties foot the bine, in connection with the meets tsmallpox cases and quarantine, Our cotixtt'il and Board of Health will do well to go strictly according to law and act in the financial interests of the township as much as they can. Marnoch teals invaded on council day last by e. delegation asking for tt bridge on the river on the 6th and 7ti+ concessions; they presented a nuttier. ously signed petition from the south and west parts of the township and were advised by the Council to go over the rest of the township and report at the meeting on March 20th. For the benefit of those who may yet be called on we will state that no bridge in thio County built by a municipality is o1' such large dimensions as this proposed one. The cost is estimated by a coun- ty councillor who has large experience in bridges at about $8,000 or about the total taxes for one year for all purposes collected in this township. Dou't be led nto signing this petition by nice stories or sentiment towards the can- vassers, as the expenditure is a large one to accomodate 8 or ten people and besides, there are other bridges which will have to soon be rebuilt and out taxes are high now; there may be more on this subject at some future date.

The -men who are making such ener- getic efforts to secure a bridge over the river on the 6th are meeting with ex- cellent success and have secured a large list of names in favor of it, very few refusing except five or six with the foolish idea that it is going to break thele to pay for it.

The following appeared in the Sea - forth Expositor and we are asked to give it place inthis issue :-[Editor. THE CLERIC'S SAIARY.— SIR,— In your issue of last week's Expositor, 1 notice a paragraph stating that the municipal council of the township of East Wawanosh was not guilty of paying their officials too high salaries, for their services. That may be true enough, but so far as I, as clerk, am concerned, allow me to make the fol- lowing explanatory remarks :— Ever since the township of Wawanosh was divided into east and west, which was at Confederation, in 1867, the munici• pal council of East Wawanosh has had the use of my house here for as council rootn, and, when in 1871, I was appoint- ed clerk, I found it very convenient,in that capacity to have everything so handy, and had not, like the clerks of some other municipalities, to go out in all kinds of weather for miles, it might be, to a township hall to attend council meetings. And then again, I have another great convenience herein hav- ing the Marnoch postofce, where the mails go and come regularly, tri -week- ly, so that taking one thingwith an other, the council' holding eir meet- ings here, and the postofllce together, is, I consider, as good as 82o yearly to me, which, added to my regular salary of $85, how paid, would make a total of $110 per annum, a very fair salary for a municipality of the size of the township of East Wawanosh to pay its clerk. I am well satisfied, and believe my present salary of $85, and ail the conveniences already referred to is far ahead of a higher regular salary, and having to go a distance to a hall, he the weather fair or foul, to attend council meetings. --P.

To them we offer our lov- ing sympathy and although many en- dearing ties have been severed by her death, we are assured that she has en- tered into that rest which is the reward of all who truly trust in Jesus as their Saviour. We bow in humble submission to Him that "doeth all things well," knowing that our lose is her eternal gain, hoping that the removal of one so much loved by us may bo the moans of help- ing us each to livo more closely to Jesus, and may He who alone can bind up the broken hearts, comfort and sustain the sorrowing and bereaved ones, is the earnest prayer of each.
