This decrease in attendance during the
latter part of the year is accounted. for
by the pievelence of contageous diseases

have now almost entirely dissappeared.
There are in the village 260 children
between the ages of 7 and 12 attending
school, and 4 who are not attending any.
The total number of children in the village
between .,he Agee of 5 and 16 is 521. The

the evening. The meeting broke up in
good time, well pleased with the manner
in which the evening had been spent.
READINGS. -Our readers will not for-
get the readings and recitations to be
given by Mr- P. C. Bell, under the aas-
pees of the Mechanics Institute, in
Davidson's Hall, this (Friday) evening.
The pieces selected are of a very enter-
taining character, and under Mr. Bell's
able treatment will no doubt prove doub-
ery respect. Long before the hour an-
nounced for the opening of the proceed-
ings, the spacious room was filled 1-.9 the
door, and by 8 o'clock every available
foot of standing and sitting mote was oc-
cupied. The hall is a very handsome
and spacious one, capable of seating, we
should judge, nearly 500 people. The
ceiling is high and tastefully ornament-
ed, from which two large and 'elegan
bronze chandeliers are suspended, each
containing six lights. Tbe stage is plac- -
ed at the western end, and is sufficient-
ly large foie all ordinary purposes. At
the eastern end is the anteroom, in which
the regalia is kept, and which is used as
a wardrobe. The walls of the ball are
hung with choice pictures, among them
several peculiar to the Order. - Altogeth-
er, the hall is one of the finest belonging
to the Order in Canada, and ' an honor,
i
not alone to Fidelity Lodge, ut also to
the town. The dedicatory ceremonies
were conducted by Mr. John Gibson,
Grand Representative, and were of a
very impressive nature. At the conclu-
sion of this part of the proceedings, Rev.
Thomas Goldsmith Was called to the
chair, the duties appertaining to which
he performed in his usual happy manner.
Owing to the unavoidable absence of sev-
eral of those who had. promised to take
part in the concert, several changes were
made in the programme. The first piece
was an instrumental trio, the "Danube

EAFORTII P B LTC 8CHOOLS. -The an-
nual report ,,of the Keaforth Board of
Public School Trustees for 1874 gives us
some interesting statistics with regard to
our public schools. The year was com-
menced with five teachers, but owing -to
• the increased attendance it was found
necessary in May to employ &sixth. The
salaries of these teachers, in the aggre-
gate amounted to 82,060. Several of the
teachers have received an increase of sal-
ary for the current year, bringing the ag-
gregate for 1875 up to $2,165: The re-
port shows that the aggregate attendance
during the first half year was 29,6701 with
an average of 219 ,for the half year ending
31st December the aggregate attendance
was 23,422, with an average of 234.

• SERIOUS ACCIDENT. -As Mr. A. Gar-
ner, of Lot 15, Con. 12, Turnberry, was_
retoining from Teiswater lately, accome
paniect by his wife and son Thomas, Mr..
R. Campbell, of OnlrOSS, and: Mr. John
Scott, of Turnberry, they were thrown
out of the sleigh and some of the badly
injured. Young Garner was driving, and.
when nearly home Mr. Thomas Camp-
bell drove up and wanted to pass. Hav-
ing but a short distance to go, Garner
hurried on his team, and refused to let
him pass. When turning in at the gate
Gaoner's babs run off the track and . up-
set the sleigh, throwing out all the occu-
pants. Mrs. Garner came in 'content
with the gatepost, and is so set-iv:ay in-
jured that her recovery is doubtful.
Scott was also seriously. injured, and R.
Campbell cut about the face.
Bum FIRES. -The Turnberry Town-
ship Council authorized C. Tait Scott,
Coroner, to hold am inquest and, if pos-
sible, ta find out the origin of » the --fire
which destroyed's° much valuable Clu-
j
ber and other p operty adjacent to the
village of Win ham in the month Of
August, 1874. A jury was impannelled,
and after a large number of Witnesses
had been examined, the jury rendered
the following verdict: "That in their
opinion the spreading of the fire which
caused so much injuty to property- be-
longing to Messrs, Wileon, Baxter, and
Deans and. others was the result of a little
negligence on the part of Mr. Deans who
was cleaning up land on an adjacent lot,
but they exonerated him from all inten-
tional- blame to injure the property des-
troyed."
LOWER WINO HAM SCHOOL.s-A public
meeting was held in Lower Wingham
last week by those interested in the new
School arrangements, for the purpose of
choosing a site whereon to erect a school
house, or, we might say, for making ar-
rangements towards the purchase of the
old Baptist Church for a 'school house.
A deputation went and examined, the
building and found it rather dilapidated;
but notwithstanding this, the meeting
passed a resolution offering the sum of
$350 for it, with One-fifth of an acre of
ground. Mr. Fisher offered to let them
have as much more ground, as may be re-
quired at the rate of $50 per. acre. -

proved of the essay. Erskine Broad -
foot found great difficulty in rotation, by
reason of the dry summers. He believ-
ed peas were best adapted for sod land,
and that wheet was the most profitable
grain to grow, only that it was hard on
land. Thomas Thorp said sowing at a
certain stated time was necessary for
sure crops. He believedin making
wheat a speciality, lthough a little of
everything was 'commendable. He
thoueht sheep a profitable investment if
eoperly managed. Hugh Alexander
could not agree with Mr. Elcoat, in not
growing fall wheat. He advocated fall
wheat growing, and also seeding clown
with it, and in order to keep the land in
a proper state for wheat growing, buck
wheat should: be grown for more than
simply to plow down as a fertilizer.
Mr. Robb, chairman of the meeting, en-
dorsed the views as advanced, in the
essay, except in two or three points. He
considered Mr. Elcoat's estimate of 30
acres of land for hay and pasture wasetoo
little ; also, that 25 bushels of -wheat to
the acre was rather much, taking one
year with another, as wheat had so
many enemies to contend with ; but his
estimate of 40 bushels of oats to the
acre, might safely be put at 50 bushels.
Mr. Robb said that Mr. Elcoat made a
great mistake in making no mention of a
wife as he considered no young man
could' make a successful start on a farm
without one.

MISSIONA.RYMF.ETING.---Rev. Mr. Tan-
ner, late principal of Point Aux Trem-
bles Institute, Quebec, addressed an
audience in Knox's Church, on Monday
night. The address referred to the work
of evangelization in the Province of
Quebec, and pourtrayed its success and
progress. The mission work was divid-
ed into three departments -mission
sChools, colportage anclmission churches.
An interesting acceunt of the Guibord
case was given fromits inception to the
present time. At the close of the lecture
a collection was taken up in aid of the
mission work. Mr. Tanner has been
very successful -in his tour, having collect-
ed upwards of $200 in the past two
weeks. _
COMPLEMENTARY SUPPER TO Mn.
Ilowtrents.--On Tuesday evening, the
19th inst., the Reformers of Goderich
and vicinity entertained Mr. J. J. Hawk-
ins, of Brantford, to a complimentary-
sepper at the Colborne Hotel. The sup-
per was a spontaneous testimony on the
part of the Reform party to Mr. Hawk-
ins for his able assistance to their candi-
date in the West Riding, -assistance
which was as cordially and freely render-
ed as it was valuable and effective. The
tables were crowded with the influential
neformers of the neighborhood, indeed
side tables had to be set to accommodate
the large number present. Mr. Sinclair,
President of the West Riding Associa-
tion, occupied the chair; and, after the
toast of the " Queen " had been duly
honored, he proposed, in a very flatter-
ing speech, tae health of Mr. Hawkins,
the guest of the evening, which was
warmly seconded with a " three times
three." Mr. Hawkins was loudly -cheer-
ed on rising to respond, and in a very
eloquent speech returned thanks for the
honor dope him in the splendid enter-
taiument tendered him by the Reformers
of Goderich, and the warm manner in
which his name had been received by
them. He referred to his old record as
Refortnee and his temporary severance
from the party when with other Reform-
ers he was led away by the no -party
policy of -the Conservative supporters of
Salidfield's Ministry. He said the Re-
formers had reason to be proud_ of their
victory in West Huron, and spoke in
warm terms of the ability and character
of Mr. Ross, their newly elected repre-
sentative. He sail he should always 're-
member the kindness of the Reformers
of West Huron, and, would always be
happy and willing to come and render
them any assistance in his power in
foture contests. A number of other
teasts.were proposed and responded to
and the party broke up about 1 o'clock.

Soeitrunto UNUSUAL -Rather an un-
common scene was witnessed in
Clintmi the other day, it being a yoke of
oxen hitched to a double cutter. The
animals were, of course, slow of foot,
but their owner appeared to enjoy if just
as much as if he had a span of 2.40 trot
ter, and why shouldn't he?
LARGE Lo. -One day last week Mr.
John McDonald, of Hullett, took to
the Stapleton saw mill a soft elm log
that measured four feet six inches at the

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.- -A public
meeting will be held in Parker's Hall, on
Friday, Feb. 5, at 2 o'clock, for the pur-
pose of organizing an Agricultaral So-
ciety for the East Riding of Huron in
place of the North Riding society, which
has been virtually abolished by the re-
distribution of the County. The matter
is an important one, and. merits a large
attendance at the meeting.
PE.NNY READINGS. --The Penny Read-
ings which were held last Thursda,y
evening were a decided success ; $20
were realized.

held at Parker's Hotel last Friday even-

EXTENSION OF » PREMISES.--0-Wing to
the increase of business in the drug line
and Post Office department, the ever
obliging P. M. at Brussels has found hie
present building too email for the an-
comniodation of his customers. He has
therefore enlarged his quarters, taming
the old log building next door to the
drug store into a Post Office. The
building, which has been highly finished.
with -undressed lumber, presents quite a
grinning appearance. Strangers passing
through will have no difficulty in finding
the office if they enter the most dilapi-
dated looking building in Brussels.

son of David Logan, at present residing
in Seaforth, and formerly of the town-
ship of Grey, met with a fatal - accident
here on Tuesday evening, Accompanied.
by his wife on. a visit to Blanshard he
called at the house of a friend on his way
thither. He sat down to dinner with a.
good appetite and in the best of health,
but had hardly commenced his meal
when he became choked with a piece of
meat. At first he refused to h.ave
doctor sent for, but becoming rapidly
worse his friends sent for medical aid,
but too -late to save his life.

After trying and. rejecting several of
the leading Canadian sewing machines, I
was induced to examine and purchase a
Florence, and now, from nearly a year of
almost daily u -se, I can say that any ex-
pectations arc more than realized. I
find it easy to tread, easy to learn, and
its work, even in inexperienced hands,
beautiful in the extreme. The hemt
neer is unrivalled, and. the reversible feed
of great importance. All the other ma-
chines I haye tried have the same faults
-they are noisy, draw a fine fabric, drop"
stitches, and the seam is disfigured with,
zig-zag stitching. The Florence has none
of these. In a word, to any over-worked
wife and mother who wants a perfect
and ever -ready helper, that will do its -
work swiftly, beautifully and silently, I
would. say, get a Florence.Arsi
