Clydesdale Stallion, Olendrie Prince,
from W. gillebrecht, of Broadhagen.
It is a very line animal, and should be
an acquisition to the neighborhood,
Sotuata-The social under the aus-
pices of the EpworthLeague,on Thum -
day evening last,was largely attended,
and. a very interesting program was
given, talent of the best quality being
secured from Brucelield and Clinton.
Rev, Mr, Kerr occupied the chair, and
in his usual thientmanner occupied the
Intervale between the numbers. The
proceeds amounted to somewhere in
the neighborhood of $15, which will
be used for improving the basement of
the church.
COUNOIT.4.-The Council met in the
town hall, Seaforth, on Saturday, Oct.
27, as per adjournment; all the mem-,
hers present. The contractors on the
Rig Drain having completed their
work to the satisfaction, of the Engin.
gkr, w.erena,id $p5., being the full con.,

passed, , amounting to $41190. A pe.
tition was presented bearing the names
of 181 municipal electors, praying for
the submission of a Local Option by-
law to -the -Vote of the ratepayers. Asit contained 25 per cent of the munici.
pal electors, acdording to the latest
voters' list, the Council have no choice
in the matter, and must grant the
prayer of the petition. The necessary
by-law will therefore be prepared and
voted on at the next municipal elect
tions. All pathenasters who have not
yet returned their lists should do so at
at once, as the Council wishes to pay
the gravel accounts at the next meet-
ing, which will be held in the town hall

LOCAL °mom -At last meeting of
council a petition signed by 116 rate-
payers of the township was presented,
asking the council to submit a local
'option ny-law to be voted on by the
electors at the municipal elections,but
the council deolined to take the action
asked for. Thistle the seciand time an
effort bas been made to get a by-law
submitted in Morris, and the second
time it has failed. This last petition
was sifffieiently signed to justify the
council in submitting a by-law, and the
friends of Looal Option are.to blame in
not anticipating the' action of. the
Council. All that was necessary to
make it compulsory -tan the part of the
Connell to submit a by-law, wits to
have increased the number of signa-
tures to 25 per cent of the electorate,
then the Council could not nave re-
fused. There are two hotels in this
township that would be affected di-
rectly by the passing of Local Option-
-one at Belgrave, the other tit Walton.
