THE BUTTER QUESTION. —A meeting

Nennow Escere.—A lad named Mc -
:Donald, an etpployee in the flax mill, •
• had a nario* escape iron' being seriously
• injured a few days ago. In attempting
to throw a belt from a revolving wheel
his feet slipped from under him and he
was thrown directly under the wheel,
Had it not bean for a timely rescue by
one of the other hands he would un-
doubtedly have been seriously if not fa-
tally injured. As it was, he was only
stunned and stimewhat bruised.
• TRE BEST YET.—A friend has kindly
sent us a specimen of wool, taken from a
last year's limb, which measures 18
inches, also a specimen taken from an

ertson. of East Wawanosh.—Mr.Kegh
Chesney, of Tuckersmith, has also sent

Cotswold lamb, which measures 1
inches. Mr. Chesney also informs u
that he has 16 ewe lambs all the sam
age, which, .for weight Of clip, he is pr
pared to challenge the County of Huron.

Bei-tlut FAMINE. —Batter, which dur-
ing the fall and early winter was a drug
in the market, has new become to scarce
that merchants find it impossible to ob-
• tain sufficient to supply the local de-
mand. For scene weeks the ingenuity of
• house -wives itiust have been sorely tax-
• ed in devising schemes to keep their
• tables supplied with this almost indis-
• pensable article of food. It is to be hop-
ed that their patience will not be much
longer tried, as, when the spring be
• comes more advanced ancl grass pleat
ful, the butter famine will end and the
supply will become abundant
•
SCARCITY 0? ROUSE ACCOMMODATION• -
—If the lack of house accommodation be
a sign of the prosperity of a place, Sew -
forth must be prosperous indeed. We
• deubt if there is a town ie Ontario where
the house accommodation. is to meagre
and miserable as it it here_ It is impos-
sible to rent a decent house for anything
like a reasonable min, and the great
majority ofthose which are rented, even
at high figures, are mere „shells, without
m
either comfort or accomodation . And
no sooner is it known that a house is
• likely to become vacant than there are a
dozen applicants for it, no matter how
• mitera.ble it may be. If some of our
moneyed men would build a•few respect-
able tenement houses they woutd do the
village a great benefit, the residents a
great service, and. make an investment
whioh ceuld not but be profitable to
• ernse ves.
Middlesex Societies1f the weather be
favorable, we expect the various shows
to be held in the County this iseting
be very largely attended, and we have
every confidence that spectatots will be
well repaid for their trouble.

PROHIBITION.—On Friday evening list
the members of the different' temperance
prganizations and others -turned out in,
large numbeis to attend the lecture de-
livered in the Wesleyan -Methodist
Church, by Rev. Mr. Shaw. The chair
was taken at .8 o'clock by Rev. Mr.
Lavelle, who introduced thb lecturer.
The lecture occupied abort an hour
and a half, and was very interest-
ing. He gaveemany illustrations of the
misery and crime caused by intemper-
ance, and pointed out the different ways
in which the country is injured by the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor. He disapproved of the action of
tbe Ontario Government ineregard :to the
petitions for a prohibitory law, but said
he was net discouraged by it, 'and called
on all true friends of the cause to perse-
vere ia the good. work, as the day was
-not far distant when their labors would
be crowned with success. At the close
of the lecture Rev. Mr. Goldsmith wit
called upon, and made a tew interesting
remarks, but, owing to the late hour,
.did not tnake a •lengthy address.
A ytte of thanks, proposed by Rev'. Mr.
Goldsmith and seconded by Rev. Mr.
Palmer, was tendered to Mr. Shaw.
The following resolution in favor of pro-
hibition was passed: Moved by 'Rev.
Mi. _Goldsmith, seconded by Rev. - Mr.
Pahner, and carried unanimously,
" That we, of this meeting, are of the
opinion that a Prohibitory Liquor bill is
highly desirable, and the only thing that
will save the cmmtry front the Valk of
intemperance; and -eh • furthermore
pledge outselves to give our earnest aid
and support to those who are workingfor
such a bill." After the singing cf the (Wiwi-
ogy by the choir, and the pronouncing of
tbe benediction by Rey. Mr.' Shaw, the
meeting came to it close.

BUSINESS for the last few days has:
been very dell indeed. The sudden
breakiug up of the roads and tbe very
dull weather has kept every one at home.
FRE-411ET. —The sudden thaw and the
great quantity of. snow in this section, to-
gether with the late abundant rains, is
causine a great freshet in this branch of
the leaitland, The head water at Mr.
Vanstone's mill dam is higher than it
was ever known before,' and. it is still
rising. Fears are entertained that Van -
stone's dam cannot hold out much longer,
especially if the water rises much more.
We have not heard as yet of ante dam-
age being 'one in this neighborhood
along the river.

accompanied by severe lightning and.
heayy hail is rather an unusual occur-
rence at this season of the year. But the
• past has been an extraordinary season,
and after what we have had, anything
• that may eonie along in the storm lino
need occasion no surprise. On Saturday
last about -noon, We Were visited by a
most violent storm of thunder and. light-
ning, accompanied by heavy.. ram and
hail. Portunatsly the. wind was not high
or very serious damage might have been
done, as the hail was large and fell in
great quantities. We learn, however,
-that in some parts the hail was much
larger, and the storm more severe than
• here. 'file whole of the western portion
of the Province seems to have been visit-
ed by it, and in many instances build-
• ings and animals have been destroyed
by the lightning. We have heard of no
damage being done in this vicinity. In
the eastern part of the Province there
was scarcely any storm at all. -

The house was well filled by a very at-

with manifest pleasure to the various
performances of the evening, which con-
sisted principally of acting charades and
singing. A properly :pranged stage was
erected, and a few minutes after 8 o'clock
the curtain was .drawn -and the first act
began. The plays were well acted, and
conferred much credit upon the actors as
well as the manager, II. 0. Brown, who
also took a part in the plays. In fact
we have often witnessed no better acting
in many theatres than was displayed by
the well trained boys and girls of this
place. Miss Poplestone presided at the
instrument, and performed nicely. H.

a song, entitled " Lone Rock beside the

hail.it can be called, for if rocks of ice
7 inches long and two in diameter,
weighing 13 ounces, can be called hail,
then we had hail sure enough; but where
it h,aiied from is yet a mystery. .They
lit on the icy pavement and bounded
through the windows, breaking them by

is strange none were severely injured,

and musical entertainment was held in
the school room on the evening of Tues-
day. A number of dialogues and recita-

quitted themselves in a highly satisfac-

were also sung by the pupils in a very
pleating style. The remainder of the
programme was filled up by several

young gentleman, who shall be nameless
being desirous to obtain a partner for
concert which was, to be held in said vil
age . went to ...the residence of a fair
young damsel, and'obtained. her consent
to -accompany him. Then eur hero took
his departure for home, his bosom swell-
ing with emotions easier imagined than
described. The long looked for night at
last arrived, and everything seemed •to

But, alae for human expectations ! Our
most sanguine hopes are often blasted !
During the time that intervened between
his first visit and the night in qnestion,
another suitor had appeared on the -scene
of action on a similar errand, and, no
doubt, felt a little disheartened when in-
formed t hat she had already consented
to accompany another; but, lieingpos-
sesse o e .pretty good share of self-
conteit, suitor No. 2 thought that by a
little coaaing _and bribery,- he might steal
a march on. his rival, and, after present-
ing the tickle fair one with a bottle of
hair oil, filially obtained her consent to
go with him. The time at ltst. arrived
when Gent No. 1, proMised to be on

to give c ren more brass than
sound benefit, More inipudence than elo
cution, (and we are not' sure but the ob
jection has more truth than poetry in it,)
but if every -boy who makes his bow on
a platform were to display such careful
training as the lad we have mentioned,
this objection wouldn't have much force.
Though. we specify this case particular-
ly, there were many others who did re-
imarkably well. Elias Disney, in the
well-known piece, "Domestic Asides,"
was deserving of great praise, though as
pften happens, it did not "take" so well
as some other pieces of less merit. The
young ladies of the school ,gave some
very nice pieces of music,
