Mr. Fisher, in.replying, quoted among other buildings the new postofce in Winghann and gave the estimated cost at $31,000, but stated that (at the time) it was not yet finished. Clin- ton's postoflice, lMr•. Fisher said, cost 520,015, and the cost of maintenance wars $746.01. Wingham's postoffice not being at that time completed, the cost of maintenance could not be given.

That ""the way of the transgressor is hard" has been once morn proven true. It appears that on the evening of the 21st, the defendants made themselves obnoxious by getting into a row at the National Hotel, where they seriously assaulted Edward King. The first charge laid was heard on Fri- day Iatst, by Police Magistrate Mor- ton. The result was that Howard Finlay was fined $5 and $2.85 costs for' profane swearing ; Jas. H. Finlay and Joseph Finlay were each inuletecl in the same atmounts for grossly insult- ing language. These changes were laid by a Mr. Hanson. The assault case was leard by the Police Magistrate on r Y lu sda of thtA ve k with t ne rest It e e t t that Jas. H. Finlay wes fined $2, and $6.30 costs ; Joseph Finlay was fined $10, and $1.3f) costs, and Howard was committed to Goderich gaol for one month, onel must pay $0.30 costs, Very seldom do such disgraceful scene,:, ars this row was, occur in our town. It is hoped that the offenders will take warning rind do better. Men reap what they Sow, and it pays to sham the evil anel aulltere to the gond. The way of the transgressor is har il, says the good Book. DR, OVEns, M.D., London, Eye and Ear Surgeon, will ire at McKibbon's drug store the first Tuesday in each month; hours,2 to0p.1n.

Febr a a b u Wet r. r e Y Tl a recen storm of a a t wind c! me pn time as predicted by Prof. Hicks. Ho intimated also that it would be fol- lowed by a ""wicked, cold wave" and r u e th s w •n d ose lvho a cattle were ex- posed to be on the alert, This is brought to mind by reading in the i pa t _ c 1 a rs this c h n da a re k t at r t e Yl P , on parts of the west, herds have suffered severely; one despatch says 25 per cent. will die, For the first half of February, there will be many dis- turbing causes at work. Hicks warns us to look for storm conditions culmi- nating about 3rd, 4th, 5th, with change to blizzardous weather, and by the 7th a severe, cold wave. Look for a prolonged and greatly intensified storm period between the 7th and the 12th. -`he 10th, 11th and 12th will probably bring the culmination of what we will call a series of danger days in this period. Torrential rains will fill the streams and rivers, in all tobabilit reci itat' p i y p pi ing ice gorges and dangerous overflows and floods during and following this period, many sections northward will suffer from blizzarcls, sleet storms and block - rides at this time, and a general cold wave will reach most parts of the country frons about the 12th to the 15th. a rhe 12th is the central day of a period of five to seven days in which rnarty earthquake shivers will be re- ported in extremes of the globe.

The defendant sold a stock of goods to the plaintiff, e.nd received from the plaintiff 51,000 on account thereof. Subsequently the plaintiff brought this action to be released from this contract and for return of the 51,000 paid, but failed to obtain judgment to that effect, but obtained judgment re- ferring to the Master to take as counts. 'The defendant thereupon gave notice of his intention and pro- ceeded to sell the goods to realize his vendor's lien for unpaid purchase money. The master took the ac- counts between the parties and found the damages to which the plaintiff en- titled, estimating thein at $907.80, and directed defendant to pay the costs of the reference. Front this finding defendant now appeatled on several grounds. -Appeal allowed and report set aside and judganent for the de- fendaant for 5207.31, together• with de- fendant s casts f o defence, including the costs of reference and of this ap- peal, to be paid by the plaintiff within sixty days, and on this being done the defendant is to deliver possession of the goods the subject of the a.gree- anent now in the possession of the de- fendant.

Leonard & Sons, London. Mt. Forest Wins From Wingham. In probably the fastest game of hockey ever played on Wingham rink, Mt. Forest stepped into first place by defeating the local. hockey players on Friday night, the score being 0 to 3 in favor of the visitors. Mount Forest team, accompanied by 300 supporters, arrived in town by special train at 8 o'clock, and it was nearly 8.30 when Referee Chas. Rankin of Stratford called the teams together. Mt. Forest presented a line-up of all "hired" men and in practice looked very formidable but the supporters of the green and white Iittle thought their favorites would go down to defeat, even at the ]rands of the visitors who were brought in front all corners of the country. Ttte game started fast and furious, and Wingham landed first goaal. It looked as if t:he home team was going to win, but Mt. Forest soon tied the score, then Fleming soon forced Wingham ahead by a shot from centre, and although the shots hit the bar anti posts and the oal minder meaty times, they fabled to pierce the goal. Mt•. Forest notched two before half bine, the last being scored after tune was up but allowed by 'Referee Rankin, The second half was mostly Mt. Forest, wlto scored two goals to the locals one, and the gg arae ended 6 to 3 in favor of Mount F'orest. Foe the visitors, i1Ic0ullougli in ..oal was a stone ' all g ))a ,and s,'avecl his teats defeat by his excellent stops, Anel Merlatt, one of the ""hired" Wren frotu Ottervilte., starred on the for- watrd line, 1"'or the locals, Elliott and I"'leming on the forward line, showed fine form, and McGillivray. as rover, played a hard game, but the defence seemed to have aan "off night," any easy shots beating theut.
