The Methodist tea meeting last
Thursday everting was quite largely
attended and proved a financial sue-
ceac. Interesting addresses were de-
livered by Rev. Messrs. Jamieson and
IForest, of 13ayfie1d;Rev. hit.. Livingston
of Clinton,and. Rev. Mr. Richardson, of
Goderich. The musical portion of the.
program was furnished by too Rotten-.
bury st. Methodist choir, of Clinton, and
they make a grand mistake if they
think a Bayfield audience appreciates
Isuch miserable attempts as were then
made.
This winter there scorns to be no end
of amusement for the young people.
The skating rink is well patronized and
much enjoyed by both old and young.
The Literary Society is another feature
that must be remembered. We would
like to see more interest taken and to
have any who are able come forward
and assist. Tho committee experience
considerable diffiicnity in securing the
necessary aid to carry on the society,
and the work of preparing a program
rest on the shoulders of a few. Good
debates should be arranged and there
are several who possess the required
talent to make them very interesting
and instructive, and it is a shame that
thele arrangements cannot be made
and successfully carried out. Unless
something is soon done the Literary
Society will be a thing of the past.

.Tom feels his rejection by the "Sons

rejection being his size. The chair-

What may yet prove to be a danger-
ous disease has broken out among the
cattle in Biddnlph. Mr. Stewart Hod-
gins hasone in particular which is
seriously afflicted. George, the cvet',
says it is "nervousness" brought on by
the over -taxing of the mental machin-
ery. The only cure, he says, is to draw
their teeth at once.
Two young men of the 2nd con. are
in the habit of meeting every Sunday
eve at the sante house, a large brick.
As is usual there is but one parlor in
the house and of course both cannot
occupy it at the same time. It is said
that there is a fuss nearly every week
asto who shall have the parlor. Well
this is natural but boys, try to be agree-
able. Draw lots if you can't conte to
terms any other way. However, Tom,
do not allow any one to come "Alex"
over you.

What might have proved a fatal
aceideut: occurred on the farm of Mr.
Silas Staulake early on Stuuiay morn -
nig last. The caretaker, Mr. George
Roofs, sr, while attending to itis usual
duties, noticed that one of the cows was
being crushed to death by as portion of
the straw stack resting on her. By an
almost superhuman effort Mr. Rook
reseued the imprisoned animal but in
so flout; was caught by the stack. Mine
self. He was thus held by it until near
evening when he was rescued by some
of the neighbors who had been warned
out to hunt fo} hien.. He was not seri-
ously injured„ however, but he says he
does not want another dose of the same
kind.
The 2nd cont., liddulph, known A'
the Pauls settlement, is never without
some social trouble. A few weeks ago
thebays went out to have some fun
and before they returned hid the mis-
fortune to li'tve their drum cut to pieces
an account of which was given in the
A»voc. rz some time ago. As no one
would pay for it something had to be
done as the owners would not be at the
loss of it. To equalize things Bob and
Billy seized a goat the owner of -which
is now in the United States, killed it,
tanned the hide and mended the drum.
The owner, upon being notified of the
death of his goat, at once entered a
suit against .Bob and Billy to the
amount of $500 damages. The case
will be tried at the summer assizes in
Adare.
