HIGH SCHOOL LITRRARY SOCIETY. -
The regular meeting of 'the Goderich
High School Literary Society was held
on Friday last. The attendance wet
very large; indeed, a number of peraons
could not obtain admittance to the
room. The Trtasurer's report showed
that the receipts during the year were
$63.85; expenses $14, leaving a balance
on hand of $49.85. The Society is now
in a very flourishing state, and as well
as valuable additions to the library, a
well equipped gymnasium is proposed.
After the reading of the report, a number
of recitations, songs, etc., were given by
members of the Society, Miss C. Wil-
liams, Men Hei.derson and the choir
rendering the music. Mist Minnie
Seegmiller recited "Bernardo dal Car -

emotional acting into it, yet showing
undeveloped power. Mr. W. B. Dick-

AND YET ANOTHER FIRE.
Vet Derails'; Miele of Dr. W. 81. Milliard
Destroyed ea anaday Morning &V4.
A strange fatality seems to prevail in
Goderich at the aresent time Lt the mat-
ters of fires. The fourth of a aeries of
occurrence in as many weeks took place
on Sunday morning last about 5 o'clock,
when the dwelling house of Mr. W. M.
Hilliard was totally destroyed. It seen*
that one of Mr. Hilliard's children -had
been ailing, and about 3 o'clock the
father arose aid gave a drink to the
sufferer. Tho morning being exceeding-
ly cold, Mr. Hilliard started a fire to
warm the houae, and again betook him-
self to his couch/ Shortly before 5 o'-
clock he was aroused from 1111 slumbers
by the sharp, crackling sound of burn-
ing wood, and thinking that the fire in
the stove was burning too strongly, arose
and wont to examine. He then diacov-
ered that the goof of the house was un
fire, and hardily awaking his finally, gave
the alarm. By hard work a small por-
tion of the furniture w.it removed from
the house, but although the alarm hell
was rung an 1 the engine got quick-
ly to work, nothing e'en be donate
save the doomed building. A home.

Mr. Reagan had a narrow escapa, and

We had what might have beau cal-
led a curling tournament at Me Rink
on Monday and Tuesday last. 'than-
gtilar fight for the Gibbons' medal ' was
an the ice, and speculation wig rife as
to the result. On Monday afternoon
the first contest took place between
Wingham and Goderich, and ilthough a
rinse fight waabad. victory perche'd on
the stanes of the former club. The re -
hull of the game was telegraphed to
Seaforth, and the club of that lively
town' pluckily wited the victors that
they would be up on the night train, to
play against theta on Tuesday. 'Wing -
ham club waited over, and a game was
had on Tuesday morning which resulted
in the victor of yesterday being the de-
feated of to -day. Things now assumed
an interesting shape. It' had been ar-
ranged that whichever outside club
.cored thename, should play 'off with
the Goderich club, which had previously
succeeded in winning two champion
games, and on Tuesday afternoon Sea -
forth and Goderich went at it "wi' bo-
soms an' stanes." Another close game
was the result, but fortune veered again,
and deigned to smile upon Goderich,
and the club of the Lake town now
holds possession of the medal.
The following is the record in detail
of the games played: -
