A GRANT TO THE FIRE COMPANY.—At
the meeting of the Town Council on
Tuesday evening, the only business done,'
besides passing a few accounts, was the
passing of a grant of $50 to the Seaforth
Fire Company, t� enable them to pay
for band instrumentir and assist in keep-
ing up the expenses of the company.
SCRAPING THE STREETS. —The street
committee have had the slush and mud
scraped off Main street, and removed
from the watercourse on either side, and
carted away. This was a much needed
improvement, and • was not undertaken
any too soon. In fact, had it been done
a couple of weeks ,F.tgo, it would have
been better.

PERSONAL.—Messrs. James Scott and
George W. Cline, of this town, attended

ingly to, the performances of these gen-
tlemen.
—Mr. M. Y. McLean, of THE ,EXPOS-
.ITOR,. has now nearly recovered from his
late illness; and is once more attending
to his duties as formerly. If during his
absence from business, errors of omission
or commission have occurred we are sure
our patrons will,under the circumstances
overlook all such, la also desires to
return his sincere and heartfelt thanks
to friends both in town and country for
kindness extended to him during his ill-
ness,—kindness which, on his part, will
never be forgetter].
Tax DUNKIN ACT..—A meeting of those
in Seaforth (favorable to the passage of
the Dunkin Act was held on Monday
eveninglast. We understand it was re-.
solved to make at immediate and vigor-
ous canvass of the town. it is stated
that those opposed to the Act intend
taking similar action, Between the two
we may look for some lively canvassibg.
It would be well, however;that all should
carefully consider and thoroughly under-
standthe matter before they pledge them-
selves to either party. That the people
might be in this position those who intend
taking a leading part in securing the pas-
sage of the Act should call a public meet-
ing and thoroughly explain its proviaions
and working. This should be done in
advance , of the canvassing for votes.
There are very few who know anything
at all about the Dunkin Act, and before
the people are asked to give a pledge
either to support or oppose it,they should
be given to understand what they are
pledging themselves to.
MECHANICS' ASSEMBLIES. — The- fort-
nightly dancing assemblies of the Sea -
forth Mechanics' Association, will here-
after be conducted under the manage-
inent of Messrs. J. W. Holland and L.
Lattimer. -With such efficient managers
these popular entertainments will be
rendered more pleasant than usual. The
next assembly takes place this (Friday)
evening.
s I
Reef CATTLE Snowes—The annual show
of fat stock and poultry under the aus-
pices ,of the Tuckersrnith Branch Agri-
cultural Society, will be held in Seaforth
on Monday, December 11 trh. Liberal
prizes are offered for competition, and
there is no doubt some excellent animals
will be shown. This show will afford alai
excellent opportimity to drovers and
butchers who may wish to purchase
e •
•
STREET LAMPS.—We would suggest to
our town authorities the propriety of
having a few lamps 'placed along the
principal streets. Now, on a dark night
pedestrianism is both difficult and
dangerous. The cost would pot be bur-
densome, and we are sure our citizens
would cheerfully pay the additional tax,
Which would be, more than compensated
for by the increased pleasure and safety
whieh the light would afford.
Christmas beef.
THE LITERARY SOCIETY.—A Meeting
for the re -organization of the Seaforth
Literary Society will be held on Monday
evening next, at half -past seven o'clock,
in the reading room of the Mechanics'
Institute. The meeting should be largely
attended. Much interest was manifested
in the meetings of this society last year,
and through its instrumentality several
pleasant and profitable evenings •were
spent. We have no doubt the same will
be the case this year.
HOOK AND LADDER COMPANY. .-- A.
meeting was held in the town hall last
Monday evening, after the Firenien's
meeting, to 'form a Hook and Ladder
Company. There being only a few pres-
ent, the meeting was adjourned till next
- Tuesday evening. We hope our business
men and citizens generally will show more
interest in the fire protection of the town
by attending the meeting. Those wish-
ing to become members of the company
are also respectfully invited to be present.
THE NEW BUILDINGS. — During the
past few days of good weather rapid pro-
gress hag been made" on the work of the
new brick buildings on Main street.
The brick work of Messrs. Robertson &
Co.'s, McGregor's and Campbell's is now
corcipleted, and workmen are busily
- engaged 5n laying on the roofs. The brick
work on Mr. Stephen's fine hotel is also
naaking good progress and will soon be
finished. These handsome edifices,
• when completed, will give Seaforth a new
and very rauch improved appearance.
• OMISSION.—We notice that ' the Sea -
forth correspondent of the London Adver-
tiser is dreadfully exercised over the fact
that in a paragraph referring to an enter-.
tainment given by the LadiesAid Asso-
ciation, in conneetion with the Method-
ist Church, we omitted the names of
three gentlemen who gave readings. Our
attention was directed to this omission
on Friday morning, and irrespective of
the criticisms of the correspondent above
alluded to, we intended making the
aniende honorable this week. Owing- to
circumstances over which we had no con -
we were unable to have a represen-
tative at the meeting, and the facts for
this paragrenh were procured from a
raenaber ofitoe Church, who, no doubt,
inadvertently omitted to mention the
names in question. We now copy from
the Advertiser; "Mr. Wm. Hill gave a
HURON AT THE CENTENNIA.L.—We no-

A CHURCH SOIREE. An entertain-
ment under the auspices of the"Baby-
Ion Line Sabbath school, was held in
the Methodist Episcopal Church on the
evening of the 8th of November,and was,
on the whole, a grand success. Not-
withstanding the unfavorablti, state of the
weather and roads there wee fair attend-
ance. Tea was provided by the good.
ladies of the -vicinity, and great credit is
due to them for the excellent manner in
• which they attended to the wants of .the
inner man. If we may be permitted to
judge of the qualifications of the young
ladies, before mentioned, as housekeep-
ers by the quality of the eatables we
would say that they are well recom-
mended, and furthermore we would con-
sider that young man truly blest, who
may be fortunate enough to secure one of
them as his better half. After the wants
of the inner man were satisfied, there
followed an intellectual treat, which was
not behind in excellence. Speeches,
recitations, and vocal, and instrumental
music followed each other in rapid suc-
cession. Among the sPeakers, we might
mention Rev. Messra.Danby and Yokum,
Messrs.- Keys, Shaw, Smillie and Clark.
Miss K. Cook presided at the organ, and
was ably'assisted by an excellent choir,
and lovers' of , music mut have , been
pleased at the well chosen selections that
were discoursed at intervals during the
evening. After a long and interesting
programme was gene through the enter-
tainment was brought to a close.

MR. PLUNKETT'S REPLY TO "REVIEW-
ER. "-MB. Mellon -Sir: "Reviewer's" lest
verbose production goes far to prove the
truthfulness of the assertion that "there
are a few chronic grumblers in the com-
munity." He takes my humble narae
in vain twenty-two times. He also carps
on expressions in my letter in a meatier
intended to draw people away from , the
subject. Such a course is an indicatibn'
of a weak side. Take an example. Ift
copying my last letter, the word "sec-
ond" was omitted before "clay," and he
tries to make it appear that I was not
stating the truth. It makes no differ-
ence to the subject of discussion whether
the. roll was sworn to the "day after" or
the "second day after" the court. I also
stated "that the second issue of the
Voters' list was printed after the roll
was sworn to." This expression he
twists as follows : "the last list- was
made from the sworn roll," and he wastes
much time in disproving his own version.
Such a•course betrays a lack of candour.
No doubt the readers ofthe EXPOS1T02
re intelligent enough to judge of the
mount of credence which ought to be
laced in the statements of an anony-
mous scribbler who resorts to such 'a
ourse. "Reviewer also says that he
'has good authority for stating, that the
oll was not given up to the clerk until
he day of the Court of Revision." Said
ourt was held on the 3rd of June, the

a
oll was in my custody long enough prior,
o be checked over, the list of discovered
errors rectified by the asseisor, and
the
athmasters lists made out for the whole
ownship. These duties will take about
mcnth to perform them well, when a
erk attends to them at night only, as I
o. If "Reviewer" will take the trouble
enquire of a few pathmasters what
me they received their lists, he will
nd out that his "good authority" has
en leading him astray. The clerk is
ly a servant of the tow,nship, and has
more power to control the actions of
e assessore(another servant independent
the clerk,) than he has of abating the
tense hatred and unreasonable animosj.
displayed towards him in "Reviewer's"
tter. "Reviewer" has not pointed out
single fault founded on truth which can
traced ,to me as clerk. If either he
or any one else points out one instance
in which the duties of the clerk's office
can be more efficiently discharged, I will
thankfully receive the suggestion, and
promptly act thereupon. I did all in my
power to induce Mr. Downing to com-
plete his duties—even to complaining to
the council. Why then try to hold me
responsible for another's delinciencies ?
The pathmasters , jurors', and voter
lists require to be made out within a ce
tain time, though the roll be •not swo
to. Methinks the chronic grunibk
would have liked that those duties we
omitted. But they were not. The rol
in itself, is a good one. Moreover, th
is not the first year the roll was unswor
o in Stanley, and no calamities resulted
from the omission. Could not "Review-
er" prove to the good people of Stanley
that the failure of the wheat and pea
crops are attributed to the present town.
ship officers? This would require no
greater stretch of the imagination than
some fallacious arguments he is adva,nc-
ing. There are many duties devolving
on the clerk which are not stated in the
law. One is checking the roll. The assess-
ment roll of every municipality is the basis
of every calculation therefor. Hence the
great need of having it carefully check-
ed over. If it is faulty every deduction
from it is erroneous. Another of these
duties is surrendering to his successor in
office, all books, doeuments, &c., entrust-
ed to his keeping, The man who defers
these duties because the law fails to dic-
tate to hire, is quite unfit to be a clerk.
My predecessor.still keeps possession of
the ballot boxes and important papers.
"Reviewer" may sueceed in supplant-
ine in office and injuring my
✓ calling, but if he succeeds in the
er, he will require to be more atten- t
to his duties than when he clerked
the last municipality, where, it is
red, he attended to every one's t
but his own, and slipped—not be. t

FIRE INSURANCE MEETING.The
Board of Directors of the Hay Fire In-
surance Company, met at Deichert'S Ho-
tel, Zurich, on the th inst. Applica-
tions were investigated and passed to
the number of 55, and covering insurance
to the amount of $55,260. By motion of
Mr. Thomas Yearly, seconded by Mr.
James Lang, several important resolu-
tions were passed, one of which was,
that if the applicant insures the ordinary
contents of hie out buildings in this com-
pany, the company will be responsible
for litre stock killed by lightning in the
fields of the applicant up to two thirds
its real value, also if he has any horses
killed in a team on the road' by light-
ning; but in case of lightning the. com-
pany will not pay On any one horse over
$80, -unless specially insured. As this is
a local company, managed withont Agents
and designed for Hay,' Stephen and
Stanley, and as it is so liberally patron-
ized by those townships, it might with
propriety be called' the Hay, Stephen
and Stanley Fire Insurance. Company.
much longer, I propose that we arrange
to debate our local differences in the
township—say in each school section.
This plan would be attended with sever-
al advantage, and your course Mr. "Re-
viewer would not so Much resemble the
fell work of an assassin who ,strikes at
his victim while he remains secreted. If
the above proposal meets with your ap-
proval, please to set a tinae and place
where I can meet with you, and I hope
to be able to prove to the satisfaction
even of "Reviewer," that the fly aheet
circulated last fall, contained more truth
than it got credit for. There have been
a few other jobs which I wish the people
of Stanley to hear about. No member
at the board now has been guilty of any
thing worthy Of censure, neither has last
year's Deputy Reeve. I feel fortified by
the consciouaness that 1 have done noth-
ing but what nearly every ratepayer will
commend, though, there is a paper cru-
sade waged against my private character
for selfish purposes. I thank you Mr.
Editor for affording me so much of your
valuable space.

PRESENTATION.—At a meeting of Hul-
• lett Grange, No. 30, held in the tem-'
perarice hall, Londesboro, on the 10th
inst. ' Humphrey Snell, Esq., in behalf
of the officers and members, presented
Mr. H. A. Baker, their secretary, with
printed his name in gilt, containing $31
a beautiful pocket book, on which was,
accompanied by an address, as follows;
Dear Sir and Brother,—It is with
feelings of pleasure that I, in behalf of
the members of this Grange, present you
with this pocket book and contents,
hoping you will receive it not only on
account of its intrinsic value, but as a
token of the respect and esteem in which
you are held by your brother and sister
patrons, and the deep interest you have
taken in, and also the very efficient man-
ner in which you have transacted the
business of our Grange. Allow- us to
tender you our best- wishes, hoping you
may long be spared to associate with us,
and that you and yours may enjoy health
and prosperity.
Mr. Baker replied as follows: Broth-
er -and Sister Patrens.—It is with feel-
ings of thedeepest gratitude that I re-
ceive this valuable gift and address, ex-
pressive of Youil respect for and good
will toward me. As this comes wholly
unexpected to me, I cannot command
words on the present occasion to suitably
acknowledge this valuable gift with
which you have presented pie. It affords
me much pleasure to kinw that my hum-
ble efforts to serve you in the capacity of
secretary of this society have been ap-
preciated, and that you approve of my
conduct. Much as I value the gift of
itself, I value still higher the respect and
good will of the members individually,
and the motive that actuated the pre-
senta.tion. I also feel that you have pre-
sented me with a gift far in excess of my
Merits, for which I .cannot sufficiently
thank you, and in the future I shall
look back to this time with pleasure,
and feel that it was,one of the pleasant-
est moments of my life.
—Since the organization of the above
Grange in February last, its business
transactions have amounted in round
numbers o $2,000. The purchases thus
far have given entire satisfaction, and
everything connected therewith has been
carried. out with the most cordial good
feeling, notwitbstanding some having re-
presented it to be otherwise. This Grange
is in a prosperous condition, number-
ing 65, having more male members
than any other Grange in the division.—

—Sir: In a School -Section not 100 miles 7
8/ from Seaforth, the following transpired P
r- lately. On the first of the present montli, th
McKillop•
could. be expected or desired. Although
the day was far from being favorable,
and the roads almost impassable with
mud, when the hour arrived that tea was
to be served, quite a large assemblage
had congregated to partake of the dain-
ties provided byethe ladies in, the vicine
ity. Tea was served up in good style, )
the ladies having done their part, an
ample justice having been done to the
'good things, Brother J. Scarlett, W. M.,
took the chair, and called the meeting
to &der. Mrs. W. Morrison, and. Mr.
S. Calbrick sang some selections suitable
to the occasion. The chairman explain-
ed that speakers from a distance could
not be expected on account of ,the in-
clemency of the weather,. and delivered
an address with good effect. Heestext
called upon Brother W. Morrison who
gave a very interesting speech. J.
.1Iorrison next gave a long and amusing
address, which kept the - risibilities of
the audience in play for some time, at
the conclusion of which all repaired to
their homes, well satisfied with the en-
joyments of the evening, and agreeing to
meet on the following :Friday evening at
a social in the church.

ship of Mr. R. Sperling, and also from
some of our young friends under the lead-
ership of Mr. S. Calbrick. Rev. Mr.
Thompson of Brussels, delivered an

out and locked the door on them and on
some of the pupile who happened to be
out at the time. The young men refer-
• red to maltreated some of these children,
kicked at the door for admittance thr
ev
water in at the open windows, and other
wise annoyed the school as they thought
fit. This conduct coming to the ears of
one of the trustees, he laid a charge
against them before a magistrate, and
had the young lady summoned as a- wit-
ness. On the day of trial the accused
parties and their friends assembled in
force, and in a great measure dared the
trustees or magistrate to take 'proceed-
ings against the boys, as they had plenty
of means -to appeal, Sze., &c. For isome
reason or other, best known to himself,
the magistrate did not insist, as he should
have done, on the witness giving her evi-
dence, and dismissed the case, and thus
the young men who had caused all the
trouble were let off without a trial, even
he constable forgiving them his fees, as
a premium for rowdyism. Now, for the
ake of society, and more particularly for
he sake of the majority of the said sec -
ion, I want to draw the attention of our
fficient School Inspector, Mr. Dewar, to
he above facts, as it is in his scheol
ivision that the disturbances have
transpired. It devolves on him to have
the case thoroughly investigated. It will
not put him to much trouble to find out
the section, as it gained some notoriety
before on account of bad conduct at pub-
lic meetings and otherwise. READER.

applied aid of the building fund of the

men of probity and candour, men whose
integrity can be trusted. How about
the geetleman who promised "Review-

tract nugatory. I again reiterate that I
did not state that the sell was Complete
