CoNCaltT. - The concert under the au- spices of the village Cuun•;il, in opening the new town hall, was a complete sue- r cess, iutelectually, morally and nuamcial- Ily. The fact that moue of the perform- ers were professionals, and all belonging to the village, yet that they could enter- ' tait such an intelligent audience for over three and a half hours, in the per- fect order that was manifested by all, is sufficient proof that it was well received. Mr. McCloy a solo, "The cats," received groat applause; "Jemmy Boker" was well rendered; Miss Esson's instrumental music was highly appreciated. Pro- ceeds amounted to $60. The building is very comfortable and easy to sing or speak in. The ladies who managed the concert deserve the greatest praise. The hall is completed, except the tower, which remains closed until spring. It supplies a want long felt in hayfield. The contractor was Ishmael Fitton, of this place. l3heppsrdtom.

Johistuu's itchiug after the Warden - ship. On Saturday morning List wed had the pleasure of a visit to our sane - tun. from that aspiring young gentle- man, and the Milting dialogue took plata) regarding the Wardenship Mr. Johnston -You're nice people to go against your uwu town of Godericb, and wont stick up for a local nae spinet an outsider. I was talking to Mayor Horton the other evening, and he said it one of our fellows was to get the Wardenship he would sooner see tee in than any of the others. TIM SIGNAL En, -We don't think Goderich would be helped by electing you Warden. You would gain more benefit than the town. Besides, fair play should be given in the matter, and there are more deserving meu than you. Mr. Johnston -Oh, yes, And just to think lit you mentioning men like Geo, Forsyth of Morris, and Pat. Kelly, of Blyth, for the position against me - wen that you have always been against The SIGNAL Eu. - Nonsense Mr. Forsyth is a personal friend of ours, and Mr. Kelly must surely be tit for War- den, for he was your candidate for the Legislature against Cul. Ross. If he was gad enough to run against Roes for Parliament, he is surely good enough for Warden. Mr. .Johnston - That was all right theft. We have the majority. anyhow, and lame of your fellows can get it. THE SIGNAL Eu.- That may be, but Gibson deserves it, for did he riot re- sign the year before last to let in a Goderich ran 1 Mr. Johnston -No; lie did not.

Tea SIGNAL En, -If Gibson did so. ho did wrung. But we will see Kaine and Gibson on the matter; and find lilt how much truth there is in the report. At any rate, there are gond men of long experience an the County Council on both sides, and in justice t.. the outside municipalities we hope to see one of thein elected Warden, night in Central School. Murder will Ont. The mystery enshrouding ,the death of the man Sage about a year ago at Brant- ford is likely to be cleared up after all, ;several arrests having been made. Sage ! is supposed to have been murdered at an hotel where his corpse was concealed for normal days and was afterwards thrown into the Grand river. Lately three other dark deeds have been explained by the confession ..f 1 desperado in Texas who now acknowledges that he killed it wo- man,adrover and an Indian in the neigh- borhood of Prescott. The public, how- ever, seems destined to wait lung before any of the butchers if the Donnelly family will confess.' That the mystery concerning this crime will be solved sooner or later is certain, for such guilty knowledge preys upon those who possums it, compelling utterance at last. tleteorsl■sleal Report.
