The Singing was really good is may be imagined from the following incident. A " little '! girl was awakened by the singing and after the invaders had left the house she asked her sister If "the Salvation Army" had left yet? —While Mr. and Mrs. JohnHey- wood, of the 13th concession of Fullar- ton, were driving home: from the tnill one evening lately the horses shied and threw them both into the ditch. Mr. Heywood was not hurt but Mrs. Hey- wood got her shoulder badly injured. —Miss Polly Prindiville, third daugh- ter of Mr. Jas. Prindiville of Mitchell, arrived home from the Western States last week. Miss Prindiville has been away in the west for nearly ti o. years, and h ot done well by investments in Mud etsisna She watreturn to the west in the spring. —Toe ha:guess of Mr. R. W. Keeler, of Mitchell, has passed into the hands of the sheriff Mr. Keeler and his family left two weeks ago for the United States, and all that is left in the way of stock and household goods will be disposed of by the sheriff for the benefit of the creditors. —A young farmer named Johnson Barr, ot M uridogton, was arrested on Wednesday last week and lodged in jail at Stratford. Barr is charged by a young woman named Rebecca Scott with breach of promise of marriage. He gave bsit fur his appearance at a further stage of the proceedings and was set at liberty. —1 he success of the New Year's services and supper on Sunday and Monday evenings this year of the Main street church, Mitchell, sur- passed the previous record of its en- tertainments. 'The music and singing throughout, dhected and led by Dr. Verrinder and Miss Ella Cole, of Lon- don, was very fine. The gross proceeds arnoun ted to $222. —The village of Atwood was favored with a- pleasant event on the evening of Friday, December 29th being the mar- riage of Miss Jennie S. Dunn to Mr. R. J. Gray, of Detroit. A large num- ber of guests were invited to be present, and at 7:30 p. nt. all were assembled. At 8 o'clock the marriage ceremony took place. The matrimonial rites were performed by Rev. A. Henderson,M.A., of Atwood. The costumes of the bride and bridesmaid, Miss Al. Dunn, were faultless, and it was the unanimous decree of the guests that a more beauti- ful bride nevtr adorned a fair assemblage. The gifts to the bride were numerous, and or a very superior quality, but the one which attracted most attention were the presentation of a gold watch and chain, by her Atwood friends. —The Stratford Beacon says: If the demand for wood continues as brisk as at present it cannot be long before thelan is a woodifarnioe iu Stratford, and the country around will be as bare as the prairies ol Manitoba. Wood that a few years ago was considered too small or too crooked for sale, and otherwise un- desirable, is now readily sold. Thous- ands of cords are yearly consumed in the several yards that supply the city and surrounding country with brink and tile, and thoasands more are used by the different manufacturing establish- ments, besides the large quantity that is bought up in small lots by private families. A. cord of good hard wood sells on the Stratford market now for from $4 to $4.50. The same wood could be bought for half the money a few years ago when the country abounded with good hard -wood forests. The coun- try is becoming stripped of its timber and nothing is being dotal to replenish the stock. Crediton. THE Free' BUSINESS.—There appears to be a lull in the fax trade at present. The proprietors of the flax mill here have on hand now over three car loads of the fibre ready to ship, which they 'cannot dispose of at a price to remuner- ate them. Last year they had over 500 acres in flax. They pay out in expenses over $16,000 annually. It costs money to run even a flax mill. They have flax enough to keep the men busy until May. THE WOOLEN MILL ROBBED. -2 --Three weeks ago some parties entered the woolen mill here one night and carried off about $150 worth of cloth and blankets. Mr. Kilpatrick, the .proprie- tor,. -was in Goderich and some parties were heard to come from the west in a wagon and after a time to drive away again very rapidly. He has no Suspicion as to whom the guilty parties may be. wish to dispose of to a Sunday schoo like ours, would do well to correspond with any of the aforesaid' ,committee. Any letters with benevolent intentions in this direction will receive a , warm reception in our school 'at Zetland. MarnoCh. 1 PERSONALS. —Mrs. Wm. Steen, of Car - 'berry, Manitoba, daaghter og Mr. Thos. Irwin, is visiting IA friends around here at present.—Mr. Will and Miss Henry have gone to Guelph (in a visit to friends. I RECOVERING. --We ike pleased to hear that Mr. Thos. Coad, who bad his leg amputated about three weeks • ago, is doing well. He has not suffered much pain with it, and his general health is --much improved. PASSED AWAY.—Mrs. Alexander Rob- ertson, who has been Suffering with con- aumption for the past four years, passed away on Sabbath afternoon. She en- dured her sickness with Christian forti- tude, never complaining about the heavy lot cast upon her. The funeral was very largely attended on Tuesday, The fam- ily of the deceased have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in this their sad bereavement, as it is only about 11 months since their father died, Mrs. Robertson leaves a large family of grown up soils and daughters, all of whom are greatly esteemed in this vicinity. - Bluevale. ' DOTS. --John Hawkins, son of Henry Hawkins is home on a visit from Pelee Islancl.—Mr. and Mrs. Nixon, of Port Hope, are On a visit to their son Thomas, of this place.—Geo. Jenkins, who start- ed to teach in Wawanosh last, week, is laid up with a bad cold. ---The logs are coming in fast to the two saw mills.— Hugh- Ross has started to buy cattle, and shipped his first parloadan Monday. L. ---Wm. Dulmage has got going at full blast in the, store business—Mr. Tim- mins has removed to his house on the hill for the present. - DRUNK.—A scenei was witnessed on Saturday night last, the like of which, thanks to- the Scott Act, has not been seen in our quiet village for -many months past. A farmer from north of the vil- lage, respectably connected, and who himself riight be respected were it not for his indulgence in_ strong drink, had got too much of the " Anti -Scott " be- fore he left Wingham and bad driven from thence to this place with the utmost recklessness, upsetting the cutter near the cheese factory and tlfereby endanger- ing the life of his wife who accompanied him., On arriving here he made the place hideous with his profanity, ran his horse on the platform of the post office, and the cutter against one of the posts of the verandah, therelsy throwing himself out and making a wreck of the cutter. It was almost a miracle that he, in his sudden pitch from the cutter, escaped striking the verandah posts. Had he done so we should, in all pro- bability, have had to record another tragedy caused by drink. The poor creature in his demented state threaten- ed all the Bluevale correspondents with death if they should send an account of his doings to the " paper." We here- by give him fair warning that should he again disgrace himself and our fair and peaceable village by such conduct, we will give his name to the public. Public opinion in this part will no longer endure such conduct, and we think it is high time that the Inspector paid another visit to Wingham and let the law - breakers there feel they cannot outrage at once publie sentiment and decency as well as law, with impunity.— Com. Zetland. BRIEFS. —Mr. Louis Thompson has gone to Stratford to take a course in a Commercial College.—Rev.

We expect " challenges " will be in order, but as yet nothing has been contemplated in that line. OUR SUNDAY Sonoon.—The Zetland Union Sunday School was re -organized on the evening of Thursday, 5th in -at Mr. John Gray was elected superin- tendent for another year. He has shown himself to be a worthy superintendent in the past and deserved re-election, and no doubt his ability will increase rather than relax. Miss Maggie Tervit was elected Secretary -Treasurer. She will make a good one, and good officers are the main thing in a Sunday school, especially a union school. The teachers of last year will resume their positions for 'SS. A committee of four was ap- pointed, consisting of Messrs. Gray, Taylor, McCool, Gavin, Wilson and J. S. Wilson'to discuss the "library " question and report their success in that line. Our Sabbath school attendance here is large, but being a union and held in the public school it is not so strong in funds as many under the auspices of a church. Now, any Sabbath school officials, who wish to display a little Christian charity and benevolence and whose Sabbath school has a read and re -read library, partof Which they would Belgravie.
