Dams SIa,—I was pleased to see that you referred to the question of Water- works in your last issue, and as yon remarked, it is a question that Wing - ham must face and solve at no distant date. In considering it, we must think of our 1IEAI.TII first, our cellars, gar- dens, lawns, fire protection, besides home convenience and comfort. In dealing with the vexed question (for I must admit that the wisdom of our town fathers will be severely taxed in determining what is best), 1 trust a practical start will be made, and made at once. Let whatever is done be so constructed that the outlay will not be wasted when the time comes for a more exteusive system. Now that the matter is once more by force of necessity pushed to the front, I trust the Council will go ahead, and that the ratepayers will so advise, So many are afraid of a dollar or two taxes. A domestic water service should not be a burden, when water rates as an income aro considered. The cost of drinking water from a hole in the ground is no small item, in the matter of pumps, repairs, etc. Then there are doctors' bills, and lost time from sickness caused by drinking po- luted water, the filterings of hundreds of closets. All these would amount to as much or more than the water rates, and if health and comfort are consid- ered, a great deal more. Let us, then, hold up the hands of the Council, by advising them to go ahead. The outlay would be a help to the working men, and payment could be extended over a number of years, so that it would scarcely be felt, By all means let us have water for domestic purposes, before epidemics strike ue and lay our homes desolate with grief. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for space allowed, RATEPAYER. ER. Langside.

GODERICE, April 14th, 1002. To the Editor of THE ADVANCE : DEAR SIR,—The item printed in the local columns of your paper last week, stating that I was in Winghahn the previous Saturday in the interests of Mr. M. G. Cameron, was not correct. Yours truly, JNO. W. VANATTER. NOTE.—As it happens, the Advance never made the statement that Mr. Vanatter "was in Wingham in the in- terests of M. G. Cameron." Mr. Cam- eron's name was not mentioned in the connection at all. What we said was that "it is reported that his mission was to, test the feeling of Wingham Liberals as to the candidate to be brought out in West Huron," and we may add that the information came from a Liberal. Bro. Vanatter's im- agination must have been very lively, to imagine Mr. Cameron's name into our brief item. However, we gladly give space to Mr. Vanatter, since he imagines we said what he accuses us of.—Editor ADVANCE.

A SUCCESS.—The entertainment by the Junior Epworth League, given in the Methodist church on Friday even- ing, April 4th, was a very successful and pleasing affair. The youngsters showed the care and patience of Rev, J, A. McKelvey, assisted by Mrs, Mc- Kelvey and Miss Ada Gallaher of Sa- letih, in training them for the various numbers. The large audience present was well pleased with the perform- ance. Some of the children taking' part were : Sophie Robinson, Ada Mor- rison, Effie Gaodfellow, solos, and also with Ada Goodfellow two quartettes. Those mentioned also took part in dia- logue with Bertie Townsend, Earnie Bray, Austie Morrison, May Breth- auer, Chester Smith, Harry Calder and Frank Townsend. Recitations were given by Willie Black, Lizzie Goodfellow, Chester Smith, Ada Mor- rison, Frank Townsend, Effie Good- fellow, Gordon Morrison and Bertie Townsend. A pleasing number was tba singing by eight little girls, as fol- lows :—Pearl Kaake, Annie Iloperaft, Pearl McKelvie, Delia Rutherford, Lizzie Goodfellow ancl Maggie Hnpfer. Some Bible exercises by the League showee that the children are acquiring considerable knowledge on that line. Miss Match of Gorrie was present and gave a short address. Special chor- uses were also given by the member's of the League. The object was to have the children give the whole en- tertainment, and they did it well. Re- freshments were given to the children after the program, and they thorough- ly enjoyed that part of the affair, The Rev. J. A. McKelvey is an excellent worker with young people; his heart in the work. The Council has put a new cover on the Bosman bridge on the 4th line. Stewart & Doff of Bluevale did the work.

All that remains to tell the tale is a pile of brick on the roadside. It would be as well to have them removed, then we could forget. —The Greenock assessment is being made on a different basis this year. Ali property is being assessed at its full estimated value. The assessment on some farms has been raised nearly fifty per cent. This means of course that the assessed value of the town- ship will be very much increased, but the taxes will not necessarily be higher and the rate will be very much lower. Stratford, April 15.—Dr. J. W. Orr, V. S., has a very strange and curious monstrosity in the shape of a pair of lambs, joined as were the Siamese twins. Mr. Donald Stewart of North Easthope brought it to the city last evening. This is a most unusual thing and a post-mortem examination will be held to find out if there are two hearts and two pair of lungs. The lambs did not live long, of course, but the heads and limbs are perfectly formed. They are joined at the breast and aro locked in each other's arms, as it were.
