-Since the above was in type we learn
that Mr. D. D. Wilson has announced
himself a candidate for the Reeveship.
We also learn that Mr. Benson will not
be a candidate for the'Mayoralty. Thus
far, therefore, Mr. Armitage stands
alone.
• COURT HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS. ---SinCe.
the June meeting of theCounty Council,
Considerable improvements -have been
made on the Court House aGoderich.
The whole of the interior has been re-
painted and whitewashed, and now pre-
sents a very clean and neat appearance.
An unused ball on the first flat has also
been converted into a comfortable and
corconochous office. for Judge Toms.
These improvements have been made
mainly under the supervision of the
County plerk, Mr. .Adamson, and are
creditabFe to his taste and management.
While on this subject, we might men-
tione however, that other quarters should
be provided for the keeper of the Curt
House. At present that official, With
his tamily, oc.eupy a conple of rooms on
the second flat adjoining the entrance to
the Council Chamber. These rooms are
in no respect suitable for household pur-
poses, and must be very uncomfortable
ter the occupant, - while the occupation
of them for such° purposes Makes it
particularly unpleasant for those having
to pass to and from the Council and
Court Reoro.
•
A TEMPERANCE HOTEL. - Arrange-
ments are in course of progress for the
formation of a joint stock company, with
a capital of $20,000, for the purpose of
establishing a nest -class hotel, to be con-
ducted on purely temperance principles.
The scheme is a highly commendable
one, and will, we trust, sncceed. We
believe that a first-class temperance hotel,
under competent management, ancl-
backed by sufficient capital, could be
made, in. a. short time, a paying institu-
tion in this place. In order to be suc-
cessful, however, it must be a temper-
ance hotel in reality, and not in name
only. An hotel, presumably conducted
on temperance principles, but clandes-
tinely on principles the very opposite,
as 3oo many "temperance hotels" are,
no matter how well conducted in other
respects, Would be I a fraud, and would
not succeed.
EGMONDVILLE CHURCH. -The ordina-
tion and induction of Rev. Mr. Scott to
the pastOrate of the Egmendaille Church
took place on Wednesday last. Quite a
number of clergymen were present, and
the proceedings throughout were most
interesting and impressive, and were
listed to with naarked atttention by a
levee 'audience. Rev. Mr. Thompson, of
Maillop, preached an: excellent dis-
course. The minister Was addressed by
Rev. Mr. Goldsmith, of Seaforth, in a
fluent and impreseive manner, and Rev.
Mr. Denby, of Varna, very earnestly and
ably addressed the congregation. Rev.
Mr. Ross, of Brucefield, presided in his
usually efficient manner. .
-A soiree will be held in the church
on the evening of F iday, the 18th inst.,
when able adclresse may be expected,
and sweet music wilil be discoursed by
the choir of the Se forth Presbyterian
Church,, under the 1 leadership of Mr.
James A. Cline. -A Most proritable and
pleasant evening is anticipated, and the
soiree will, no doubt, be largely at-
tended.
Varna. _
TEACHERS' MEETING. A meeting, in
• connection witlithe Teachers' Institute,
was held -on Friday evening last in the
Temperance Hall. James Wardess oc-
cupied the chair. The object of the
meeting was to raise funds to procure a
library for the Institute. Mr. Miller,
inspector of SChools, gave a very interest-
ing account of the working of theschools
in his district. Readings were given by
Messrs. Baird, Moir, Foster and Strang,
of Goderich, which were very amusing.
The choir, under the leadership of Mr.
and Mrs. Fisher, gave seleetions of inusic
at intervals during the evening. After
the usual vote of thanks the meeting .
closed at ten, every one being highly
pleased with the night's entertainment.
On Saturday the teachers met in the
School liouse and discussed several
GOOD COLTS.-MrPepper, of Hibbert branches of education. The next meet-
.,
recently sold a five months' old .00lt for
$95. This colt was sired by Mr. Peter
McEwen' S imported -stallion, Enterprise.
-Mr. John Avery, of Stanley', also sold
a colt from the same horse to an Ameri-
can buyer, for $150. The colt aus eight
raor.ths old. This speaks well for Mr.
MeEwen's horse.
• ing was appointed to be held. in Febru-
ary, of which notice will be given by the
Secretary. - •
NOTICE.-- A convention of the rate-
payers of the Township of Stanley will
beheld in the Temperance Hall, Varna,
on Friday, the 18th inst., at 6:P. M., to
discuss an iniportant matter Which will
be laid before the meeting.
• MUNICIPAL PoLITIcs.--Munioipal poli-
tics are now causing some little talk in
town. The question is frequently asked:,
• "Who is to be Mayor?" We have heard
the names of seyeral aentlenten mention-
ed as probable candiefates, ba so' far 416_
• we can learn only two of the many are
likely to try for the honor of be,ing first
Mayor of Seaforth. The contest will
peobably be between Mr. Ben:On - and
Mr. A. - Armitage.' For the Office of
• Reeve, we do not know who the aspir-
ants will be. We have heard. the names
of Messes. John Beattie, James Beattie,
D. D. Wilson,' F. Seegettiller and others
mentioned, but whether any of them will
be willing to accept of or try for the po-
sition we cannot say Who the Coun-
cilors for the coming year will be it is
impossible to predict. We presume that
the members of the present Board, -who
do not aspire for higher posit -lone, -will be.
again in the field. As we will require
nine Councilors, besides the Mayor and
Reeve, it is likely that at least half of
those of our citizens who thirstfor muni-
cipal honors will have their ambition
gratified. Bat, whoever the candidates
may be, we trust that those chosen will
be men of 'progressive and independent
views. While we do not believe in ex-
travagant or reckless legislation, we be-
lieve that there is such a thing as being
penny wise and pound foolish. While
4 it is necessary that our public men slioulcl
rigidly guard the public excheqher, and

AN OPERATION. --On ThurStlay last, a
large tumor, about the size of a teacup,
was excised_ from the boq of a lad
named Turnbull. Dr. Graham, of Brus-
sels, assisted by Dr. Gracey, of Ethel,
performed the operation.
THE 'RAILWAY. -We believe we are
fully justified in infotming the public I
that the opening of the Southern -Exten-
sion! from Palmerston. and Kincardine,'
may ROW. be confidently expected to take
place at an early date. The agreement
between the Great Western and the Wel-
lin n, Grey and Bruce Companies, we
un erstand, is completed; and. all that
is now wanting is the passing of a bill
by the Ontario Legislatute, ratifyin
such agreement. We are informed that
the Groat Western i8 prepared to per-
form its part of the agreement, and to
take the lino out of the hands of the con-
tractor as soon as the necessary legisla-
tion shall have been effeeted. The bill
will be before the House this week; and
although some little 'UM may yet elapse
before the final arrangements are made,
there now appears no reason to doubt
that the line will be opened and in full
working -order by the first of February,

Exeter.
SCHOOL OPENING. -The opening of tl4c
new School House in Exeter tooia pla, e
on Wednesday evening, December -,
with great eclat. A grand musical en-
tertainment was given by the scholar's
and others, and about 600 people were
present. The programme was rendered
in excellent style, and comprizecl vocal
and instrumental nausie and an address
by Mr. J. R. Miller, Inspector. Alto-
gether the affair was an nnmense suc-
cess, and will long be remembered by
the people of Exeter. • The new building
is a handsome one of brick, commodious,
and ccmplete in all its arrangements.
There will be seven teachers.
Winthrop Cheese Factory.
A,meeting of the patrons and others
interested in the Winthrop cheese fac-
tory .took place on Saturday, Dec. 5.
Mr. James Kerr was called to the -Chair.
The report was read, showing that
820,986 pounds of milk was received,
from which there was made 80,038
pounds of cheese. The following are
the averages aud prices for the various
months: May, 10.51, at Hie per pound ;
June, 10.53, at litc.; July, 10.58, at
llete.; August, 10.10, at 12e.; Septem-
ber, 9.90 at 1!„31c.; October, 9.10, at 134.
The -ainount of money distributed. among
patrons of the factory for 1874 was
$7,658 54. Moved by S. Smith, second-
ed by A. Murchie, and carried, that the
%rely. satisfactory report be accepted.
The proprietors stated that they were
able to manufacture cheese at the pres-
ent rate, but were unable to draw the
milk and manufacture at the price al-
lowed for 1874, the cost of drawing milk
much exceeding the amount estimated,
and they would prefer the patrons- of
each route paying the actual cost of de-
livering the milk to the factory. It was
moved by S. Smith, seconded. by H.
Tyerman, that three cents per pound be
paid by the patrons for the manufacture
of cheese for the season of 1875 -Car-
ried.
Bluevale.
GRANGERS. -The farraers of Bluevale
and vicinity, thinking they were im-
posed upon by the merchantmen, have
recentlyformed themselves into a
Grange, in order -as they say them-
selves -to bring every other class of
men under their sway. A meeting was
held in the public school house on Sat-
urday, November 28th, evhere a lecture
was delivered by a Mr. Thompson, from
the State of Vernaont, on the above sub-
ject. It is said he delivered a very ex-
cellent speech in favor of the Grange,
and converted a number of the farmers
to his way of thinking; in fact he al-
most made some of them believe they
were able to live,. and prosper, without
any other class of -men except them-
selves. • After the lecture was over all
who did not wish to become members of -
the Grange had to. leave theyoom, while
those who wished to join the-orgainza-
tion stayed some time longer to go
'through a forin of initiation. When the
initiation was over they left for their re-
spective places Of- abode, to return the
following Frid_ay for the purpose of in-
stalling the required officers for the
Grange: When they met on Friday, the
4th . inst„ a few preliminary remarks
were given by -their leader, Mr. Thomp-
son, with respect to the future welfare
of the farmers if the Grange would work
-
satisfactorily, After a little laudation
about what they would be some day, and
some rubs at the merchants and middle-
men, who were not present to defend
themselves, the following, officers were
installed • Mr. S. Black, Worthy Mas-
ter:; Mr. Joseph McCartney,- W. Chap-
laM a Mr. Thomas Hislop, W. Secre-
tary; Mr. John Farrow, W. Treasurer,
and a number of others about whom we "
could gain no information.-Coet.

Howick.
GrelleGES. - A delegate from the
Grange is in this neighborhood explain-
ing the drift of the Society. Among
otber things, one particular feature in
the programme is " No middle men."
With regard to the cost of supporting
the Granges, it is not worth talking
about." On entry to the branches a
man pays $3, and his wife, if she wishes
to be a Granger, has only to pay 50
cents. As far as I have learned the far-
mers want to dispose of their produce at
headquarters and buy at headquarters -
"No middlemen." Now, I cannot well
see how that can be arranged. Suppose
for example we sent to China for our
tea. You write a note enclosing say
$1,000. Well, this has to be mailed..
There ." middlemen" are required. The
order is forwarded all right by ship or
rail. Some one or more have to receive
the packages and distribute them. Now
it would be unfair that the parties re-
ceiving and delivering the orders should
not receive c.orn.pensation for their time
and. expenses. Well again, in sending
our products somewhere, where there is
I a wholesale market, some one must be
I employed to transact the business, audit
only looks reasonable that he should be
I paid for his trouble. This requires
"middlemen." But the very fact too
that an agent is sent out by. the Society
(or :whatever you like to call it) does
away with "No middlemen."
ACCIDENT . -A few days ago William
Goon, shoemaker in Gerrie, had the top
of his thumb and a portion of three
fingers accidentally cut off.
COUNCIL MEETING. -The Howick
Municipal • Council met in Ketch-
ura's Hotel, at Fordwich, on the 18th

by Mr. Weir, that Widow lkincode Wil-

names being called for, there voted for
the motion, Messrs. Gregg and, Evans;
against the motion, Messrs.' Gibson,
Weir and Perkins. The motion wss lost
by a majority of one. Moved by Mr.
Gregg, seconded. by Mr. Evans, that the
$2,000 given to pa the sectional bonuses
of Gerrie and Wr, xeter, be divided as
follows : Wroxeter, $1,200 ; Goi•rie, $800

liament at Toronto, asking him to ascer-
. tain what is the amount per Cent. com-
ing to the Town Plot of Elowthlc, on ac-
count of the Land Improvement Fund
and how it is paid -Carried. The Coun-
cil adjourned till the third Wednesday
in December.

Hullett.
- NEW ScHoore-The trustees of No. 6,
Hallett, finding that the increase of at-
tendance at school necessitated the erec-
tion of a more commodious echool house,
have given a contract to Cooper & Mc-
Kenzte, of Clinton, to erect a school
house of the most modern style in their
section, to cost $1,248. It is to be a
frame building, with good stone founda-
tion, 50x28 feet, and to be fully com-
pleted on or before the 15th day of Au-
gust, 1875.
-- •
I also a, couple of excellent heifers. In
aheep there was a large display, and. in
quality they were almost equal to the
cattle. Messrs. James Simpson, of
Grey, Dime= McEwen, of Stanley, 0.
Dale, of Tuckersmith, and Roderick
Gray, of McKillop, were the principal_
exhibitors in this class. There was not
it very large number of ppigs, but those
sho-wn were of the best quality. Messrs.
James McDowell, of McKillop, Timothy
Pepper and Robert Elgie, of Tucker -
smith showed superior animals in this.
class. Strange to say there Was no
poultry offered for exhibition. There
was quite a number of buyers in the
yard, and most of the stook that was
not previously sold, was disposed of at
good prices. The following is the prize
list: ;
Fat Ore Or Steer, -1st, James :Dick-
,
son; 2d, James Dickson.
Fat Ox or Heifer. -1st, Duncan Mc-
Laren ; 2d, Win. Charters; 3d, Wm.
Charters.
Pair of „Fat Sheep.-lat, Jas. Simp-
son, Grey; 2d, Duncan Maleven ; 3d,
Roderick Gray. - •
Fat Hog.-lst, J ames McDowell; 2d,
Timothy Pepper; 3d, R. Elgie.
We understand that a good many of
the animals shown were disposed of be-
fore they were brought to the ground.
This caused some little dissatilsfaction
aud disappointment .among the buyers,
The exhibitors, Were not altogether to
blame for this, as on previous years far-
mers had frequently to take their ani-
mals home with them unsold. This
year, fearing that the same might be the
case, many of them disposed of their
stock by private eale before bringing
it to the fair, a circumstance which, in
view of the large number of buyers
present on this occasion, was unfortn-
nate, as the sellers have probably not
got as good prices for their stock as if
they had kept it until the fair, and the
buyers were disappointed in not having
an opportunity of purchasing as muck
stock as they expected,
Great.
A NEW SAW MILL AT CRABROOK.:--
Messrs. *John and Edward Garrow have
purchased '0, lot of land from Mr. Cope
Land, situated near the river at Oran
-
brook, in the township of Grey, and. ii -
tend erecting
thereon a new saw mil .
It is expected that the mill will be i
working order 'about the first of May
next. The Messrs. Garrow will, in the I
course of a few days, be prepared to pur-
chase all the logs that may offer. '
Messrs. Garrow are, in every respect,
first class men, and we have pleasure in
recommending them as such to the peo-
ple of Grey.
OBITUARY. --In our obituary column
this week will be found a notice of the
death of Mrs. Turnbull, relict of the late
John. Turnbull, mother of Mr, James
Turnbull, of Grey, -and sister-in-law of
Mr. Hollingshead, of Hay. Mrs. Turn-
bull died at the residence of her son, on
Thurday of last week, after a short ill-
ness. She was a native of Ayrshire,
Scotland, and came to this country with
her husband in the year 1833, anti set-
tled, in the village of Ayr, County of
Waterloo, where the deceased continued
• to live until within a few 'years ago,
when she came -s) reside with her son in
Grey. She was a person of kindly dis-
position, and ha,d many friends and no
enemies, and although of a quiet and re-
tiring disposition, she never allowed an
opportunity of assisting the needy or of
doing good where she could, to pass un-
improved.
LEG BROKEN. -A painful accident
happened to Mr. Hugh McCartney, lot
19, Con. 3, Grey, on Thnrsday last
about noon. He was killing an animal
for beef, and had just hit it when it fell,
strikiug him violently with one of its
feet: The consequence was that his right
ancle was dislocated, and the outer bone
of the leg fractured. He also sustained
several other injuries of a like nature.
We hope to see Mr. McCartney around
shortly. ---Post.

Stanley.
HORSES SOLD. -Mr. Alex. Innis, of
Stanley, has sold his three entire colts -7 -
one imported and two Canadian bred -
to Mr. John Avery, of the London road,
Stanley. One of these colts has taken
11 first prizes; one has taken 9 first
prizes and one second, ancl the other was
imported last fall, and has never
been shown in this country. They are
said to be three as fine colts as can be
found in Ontario. We wish Mr. Avery
success with them.
Tuckersmith.
CHEESE FACTORY MEETING. -As will
be seen by a notice elsewhere, a meeting
ef the patrons of the West End Cheese
Factory, Tuckersmith, will be held on
Tuesday, the 1.5th inst., for the purpose
of settling up the season's business. We
learn that Mr. Malcolm, who has been
the lessee of this factory for the past two
years, has given up his lease, ancl the

The Christmas Show.
The annual Christmai Show of fat
stock, under the auspices of the Tucker -
smith Agricultural Society, was held in
Seaforth on Tuesday last. The attend-
ance of spectators was unusually large.
itt cattle there was a very fair show, so
far as numbers we -re concerned, and as
to quality many .of those on exhibition
coulcl starcely be surpassed. Mr. James
DicksorP had two very, superior- steers,
which were sold to Messrs. Case for six
cents per pound, live weight. Each of
these steers would bring about $100.
Mr. Duucan McLaren, of Hibbert,
showed one of the finest heifers ever
shown in Seaforth. This animal is five
years old, weighs 1,500 lbs., and was sold
to M. Heal, of Fullerton for $105. She
has since been purchased by a butcher in
Mitchell for Christmas beef. Mr.
William Charters, of Tuckersmith, had

TheHowick Council and. the
Villages.
To the Editor of the Huron -Expositor :
Sin: Would you kindly give me
space in your columns for the following:
The subject is one which at present is
creating quite a sensation in the Town-
ship of I -Io -wick, and has reference to
that root of all evil, money. At a meet-
ing of the Township Council of Howick,
it was resolved thatowing to the villages
of Wroxeter and Gerrie paying a section-
al bonus of $5,000 to the T. 0. & B. P.
over and above the township bonus, of
which they also pay their share, that
they were entitled to an extra share of
the laud improvement fund granted by
Government to the Municipalities, and
they therefore voted a sum of two thou-
sand dollars for that purpose, to be di-
vided aecording to the assessment of the
two villages named. This, the ratepay-
ers of the rest of the township have
taken umbrage at, saying that it was
-voting away the township money for the
exclusive benefit of those two villages.
The red of the money obtainable from
the same source being applied. in payment
of the railway debt of the township, the
two thousand. dollars was to go towards
the extinction of part of the money
granted. by the sectional bonus assumed
by those two villages. Now, I intend
to give la few facts, based on a careful
examination of the assessment of the
township, to show that the villages
were m reality only getting their just
share, and, itt fact, not even that, and
that the ratepayers in the township are
not justified in the cry of injustice
which they have raised againat the pre-
sent Council..., At the time that the
railvtay bonurwas submitted, of $35,-
000, for the township, and $5,000 ad-
ditional for the villages above mentioned,
the whole township was assessed, in
ro-und. "lumbers at $489,000. Of that
ainount the two villages pay $43,000,
or nearly the eleventh of the
whole. Towards the bonus of forty
thousand dollars the township pays
$31;923, and the two villages
$8,077, or a little more than a fifth of
the whole amount. At those rates the
township pays on its assessed property
61 cents on the dollar, and. the two vil-
lages 18i cents, or three times the
amount. Yet the whole cry through te
township is, " oh l those greedy
lagers, they are never satisfied." The
township gains from the villages in the
ratio of three to one, and they only pay
into the treasury of the township one-
half, their rate to the township being 4
cents and 2 mills on the dollar against
9t cents fromthe villages, and even after
the two thousand dollars voted is paid,
it still leaves the thing in the following
shape: the two villages have to pay
seven cents on the dollar as against
three from the township. Another
thing is that the township 'receives on
account of the W. G. & :B. bonus the
sum of $4,363.64, a single cent of which
they would not Have received bad they
not got the additional $5,000 bonus -
from the two villagee. I think that if
one individual pays three times the
amount paid by another to a epeiefied
object, he is entitled to a correeponding
benefit, and. if that ie true of individuals
it is certainly true of communities. But
such is not the reasoning adopted by the
farmers of Howickwho, as a class, if
they can not get all the rneney into their
own_ clutches, raise a terrible howl.
However, I think that a. cae dal perusal
of the above facts ought to convince any
right-thinking man that the action of
the Council was siMply justice to the
villages, and nothing more. Hoping
that you will forgive this intrusion. on
your valuable space, I remain, yours &c.,
