Varna.
MuNicir AL ELECTION: —The most
keenly contested election we have had
for years for the Reeveship was between
Messrs. Torrance and Campbell on Mon-
day last. Both candidates worked like
bricks. Torrance's majority was 22. A
very large vote was polled.
CHRISTMAS TREE. —On Friday evening
last a Christmas Tree and ehtertainment
was held in the town hall, Varna, under
the auspices of St. John's church Sab-
bath School. A very interesting pro-
gramme, consisting of dialogues, recita-
tions, songs and excellent music, was
given by the church choir. At the close
of the entertainment M. Lewis and
Henry Diehl were presented by the Rev.
• Mr. Hodgins, an behalf of the congrega-
tion, with several valuable and hand-
some volumes, accompanied by a highly
complimentary address. Their absence
will be a serious loss to the Sabbath
-School and church, as they are consist-
ent and exemplary young men of irre-
proachable character. They go to Lon-
don to attend College to study for the
ministry. We one and all wish them
success in their calling. The tree was
loaded down with presents for the
children. There was a crowded house
and the proceeds amounted to over $23.
Kippen.
LOCAL NOTES.—The musical and liter-
ary entertainment, which was announc-
ed for December 28th, has been poiit-
poned and will be held on Monday even-
ing, January 9th, in the Methodist
church here. The proceeds will be in
aid of the organ fund. All are wel-
come.—Mr. Jas. Young, a former resi-
dent of Tuckersmith, but now of Ross -
burn, Manitoba, is at present visiting
friends in this vicinity.—eMrs. W. Ivi-
son, with her son and daughter, is visit-
ing friends in Bright.—Miss Jones, of
London, is visiting her uncle, Mr. John
Jones, of Stanley.—Rev, Messrs. Ache-
son, of Kippen, and Simpson„ of Bruce -
field, are at present engaged in special
services in their respective churches.
We trust much good, may he the result
of their labors.—The many friends of
Mr. Hatton, tailor, will be pleased to learn
he is recovering from his recent illness.'
We are sorry to learn of the illness of
Mr. Harvey's youngest son, and trust
he may soon recover.
Harlock.
CHRISTMAS 1REE. — The Christmas
tree in connectioe with the Sabbath
school of this place was held in the
school house last Friday evening and
was in every respect a success. Although
some of the roads Were almost impassable
the house was uncomfortably full. The
tea was all that could be desired in
quantity and quality. After the inner
man was satisfied, Rev. Mr. Ramsay
was called to the chair and after the
opening address called upon Rev. Mr.
Torrance, of Walton, who gave a very
pithy and interesting address. The next
speaker, Rev. Mr. Musgrave, camefully
up to his old mark and gave an\ ad-
dress brim full of humor and sparkling
with wit. As one of the audience re-
marked, " He's a whole host in him-'
self." The music, which was contribut-
ed by the Kinburn choir, was well
rendered and heartily received. The
tree, which hung with attractive prizes
for the pupils was stripped, and it is
needless to say that the young recipients
were more than pleased with the gifts.
A very pleasant and profitable evening
was spent, the proceeds of which
amounted to $27.40.
JOTTINGS.—The annual school meet-
ing was field in the school house at the
regular date. Mr. Joseph Taylor was
appointed Trustee and Mr. Robt. Smith
auditor. Business was promptly attend-
ed to and everything passed off satis-
factorily. — Polling was done in the
school house on _Monday, and although
the weather was rough, a large per-
centage of the voters came out. Britton
and Brigham polled high in this division.
—Many of our farmers who had large
quantities of logs and wood to haul,
were anxiously waiting for snow. At
last the beautiful snow came in such
quantity and in such style that we
failed to see where the beauty came in.
Now the cry is, too much, too much—
but still they—don't blame the Govern-
ment for it.

A HORSE CASE.—The Times of last
week says :—An interesting horse case
was settled here by arbitration on Satur-
day last. Some time ago Mr. Kernick,
of Usborne, purchased of Mr. Priscadore,
of Stephen, a brood mare, paying' $160
for her. At the time the purchase was
made the beast was thoroughly examined
by Mr. Kernick and another gentleman.
Mr, Priscadore told them that the beast
was slightly lame, but if kept properly
shod it would never be noticed. The
animal was purchased by Mr. Kernick,
he giving his note for $160. After keep-
ing the beast for some time, finding that
shed -id not turn out as was expected, he
desired Mr. Priscadore to either take
the animal back or reduce the price for
which he had given his note. This Mr.
Priscadore refused to do, claiming that
the sale had been made on a fair basis;
and, in fact he did not want to dispose
of the animal at all. Mr. Kernick then
set about to sue for damages on the plea
that the animal had been misrepresented
to him ; but sooner than allow the mat-
ter to go to court both deaded to have
the dispute settled by arbitration. Fri-
day morning the arbitrators, H. Eilber
for Mr. Priscadore, Mr. Campbell for
Mr. Kernick, ahd James Ballantyne a
third man, and the lawyers, together
with a host of witnesses, assembled at
the town hall. Friday and Saturday
until 10 o'clock, p. m., was ' spent in
hearing evidence. Mr. Kernick attested
that the beast was very lame, as a so
‘%1
was a suckling, and held that there as
something wrong with the mare whech
affected 'the colt. The testimony of
several veterinary men ' was heard a d
nearly all disagreed as tin the animal's
ailment, some claiming it 000traction of
one of the feet, others that she was
sweenied. Mr. Priscadore and oth rs
said that the beast was seldom lame a d
that, as'had been told Mr. Kernick, if -
she were kept properly shod the la e-
ness would not be discer a iblei; that r.
Priscadore was not anxi, us, to sell he
beast; and that Mr. Ker a ick was bou d.
to have her. The arbitra ors found or
Mr. Priscadore on the g ound that he
had acknowledged previo s to sale t at
the animal was lame, and that as he was
not caring to sell there was no wil ul
misrepresentation on hi part. Eaich
man has to pay his own sosts.

THE ELECTIONS.—Not for years [ has
there been an election in this toainahip
which created greater interest than that
which closed on Mon ay night. The
principalinterest, how ver, centred in
the election for the Ree eship. As evil'
be seen Mr. David Walker, the !-late
Reeve, has been defe ted by a large
majority. His defeat, however, is not
due in any sense either o loss of person-
al popularity or derelliction. of official
duty. He has served his township in
the council for eighteen or nineteen
years and all admitted that he had been
a most faithful and efficient public
servant, but they said that having been
in the council so long and having attain-
ed to the highest municipal position in
the gift of the, people, he should now
withdraw and finake rosen for a younger
man, and they so expressed themselves
at the polls. Defeat under such cirbum-
stances is; therefore, no di credit. Mr.
David McIntosh, the n wly elected
Reeve, is Comparatively n w to muni-
cipal honors, having been diected to the
council forithe first time 1 t year, as
Deputy Reeve. He is, hos ever, a first-
class man, being shrewd, c reful, honor-
able and gentlemanly and will well and
worthily fill the position to which he
has been elected. The peo le of Tuck-
ersmith haie been in the past unusually
fortunate in their selectidh of municipal
officers and having determined to discard
the old they have made no mistake in
giving their full confidence to the new
Reeve. The contest for the Deputy
Reeveship seems to have been somewhat
closer. Mr. Forsythe Made an excellent
run, and as this is the first time he has
aspired to any municipal position, his
present defeat heed afford him no ause
for discouragement and especially in op-
position to so good a man. He will
"get there" yet if he wants to. , Mr.
Sproat has had considerable experience
in municipal matters, is an old resident
of the township, and well deserves the
honor that has been conferred upon him.
He will make a most excellent Deputy
Reeve, and both himself and the Reeve
will be well supported by the other
members of the council.. The- following
is a statement of the votes cast for the
teveral candidates:

A WORD
TO OUR
Town Fathers!
My Lords and Gentlemen of the Town Council,
the season of 1887 has drawn to a close.
You have been fairly diliaent and passably
patriotic, but some of you are signally remiss in
attention to your personal appearance.
Each of you should be the first man in the
Ward.
You form local opinion to a certain extent
and guide it.
You pilot them on the path they are to Walk.
for the benefit of the community and incidental-
ly of themselves.
But you have a higher and nobler duty to per-
form.
You have to educate the tastes of the masses.
Now I ask some of you—more hi sorrow Mae
in anger—can this be done effectually in your
present condition?
Can you appear before your clients in ancient
head -pieces, and antediluvian cut coats, calcu-
lated to evoke such remarks as " Oh saliat a
Beaver!" "Luk at the sthyle av his coat I'
" Shoot the hat," etc., and expect your words te
carry to my Lords and Gentlemen?
In this case one example is worth a thousand
precepts, and when the example only casts -$2
and upwards—in the shape of a new hat or suit
—it is doubly your duty.
By a strange co -incidence I find I have a large
stock of hats a.nd caps, suitings, overceatings,
underclothing and gents furnishings to be sold.
through January away below cost.
