Wawanosh. CHRISTMAS Tun ENTERTAINMENT. — On Wednesday evening, December 23rd, a superb Christmas tree entertainment gave a pleasaut treat to those who love choice lit - temp and musical selections. The school house of School Section No. 14, Wawanosli, was filled although the roads seldom have been in a worse condition. Mr. Ramat, who was appointed chairman, made a short speech and then called on the string band from the 10th, who highly delighted the audience with their music. After this, reci- tations, dialogues, vocal music, readings and instrumental musie on various instruments, such as violitue harmonicas, jewsharps, tri- angle, bones and organ, were given in quick succession. The music in particular seemed peculiarly adapted to snit the listeners, if applause and encores may be token as token of such. In all there were over thirty -live selections besides those given' in response to encores. The programme closed up with a dialogue, "A Family not to Pattern after," which was very well per- formed. The Christmas tree was then lighted up, and the numerous beautiful presents were distributed, and the enter- tainment closed by singing the national anthem. The entertainment was a decided success and the young people of School Sec- tion No. 14 need not fear to undertake any literary performance in the future. Staffs,. FOOTBALL. -On New Year's day a very interesting game of football was played at Ste& between the Staffs and Forest Home team, of Tuckersmith. The grounds were in bad condition, but, as both sides were bent on winning, play was brisk throughout. One of the most noteworthy features of the game was the scoring of the first pal by Mr. A. Sinclair, centre half -back of the Forest Home team, by a very long and well aimed shot. When half time had been called no further scoring had been done, but play was Boon resumedand, although a strong wind: wa s blowing against the Forest Home teanal they at length succeeded in making te selcond gold. Near the close of the game the Staff& boys scored one goal, thus leaving the Forest Home team the vic- tors by a sore of 2 to 1. Mr. John Lerner, of Hibbert, acted as referee to the entire satisfaction of all. The return match will be played at Forest Home on Satnrday af- ternoon, Jannary 9th, when an exciting game is expected. Belgrave. COMPLIMENTARY SUPPER. —On Tuesday, December 29th, a very pleasant evening was spent in the Forester's hall, when a coni- plimentery Supper was given to Dr. Dwyer, who has ben in charge of Dr. Godfrey's practice forthe past few months, and by his proles ional ability and genial and gentlemanly disposition has won friends for himself everywhere he has been. The people of the village felt that they could not allow him to leave without, in some way, showing their appreciation of him and so the supper and party in the hall was arrauged, aid although an epidemic of la grippe was raging in this neighborhood at the time ab ut 100 persons sat down to par- take of th4 good things provided; after which Mr, Van Vannorman was elected to the chair, when speeches were made by some of the prominent citizens. All com- plimented- t e guest of the evening and each one expressed his regrets that the doctor was abont to leave the village where he has become an eepecial favorite, both profession- ally and socially, and at the same time wished him prosperity and happiness wher- ever he miget be located. Dr. Dwyer made a very neat 1 and affecting speech in reply, expressing his deep regard for the citizens of Belgravei and his great regret at leaving. We hope he may yet be induced to remain with us as there is a good practice for him if be does. Exeter.

TH E EL CTIONS. --If we are to judge from the sinalln 9S of the vote cast the municipal elections did not occasion very much ex- citement in this township on Monday last. The principal; contest was for the Deputy- Reeveship, Both candidates are good men, and the pity is that they could not both be elected. owever, as it is, Mr. Shepherd has prove to be the favorite. The follow- ing is the esult of the voting: For Deputy- Reeve,- ohn Shepherd, Division No 1, 38; No 2, 18; No 3, 63; No 4, 45, -Total, 164.

Th; little people rendered their share of the r citations and songs in a pleasing style, which were interspersed by quartettes, cant tee, tableaux, &c. The most striking features of the programme were recitations b Miss McLean, late of Alma College, and Miss Curtis, student of Whitby Ladies' Co lege.

It is needless to say that they were most hospitablly received by her and Mr. Oke, and all spent a very enjoyable evening, THE &Fe-no:a-The contest for the Reeveship in this township on Monday last was a very keen one. Both candidates are true and tried public servants an.d both are such excellent men that we are sure many must have been sorely puzzled as to how to cast their ballots. The contest, however, resulted in the re-election of Mr. Britton by the narrow majority of six. The vote stood as follows: For Reeve, -John Britton 293 Robert Scott, 287. For Councillorn-john Brigham, 371;.James Snell, 315.; John Lasham, 275; B Churchill, 259; George Stephenson, 219. The council for the cur- rent year will, therefore, be composed of .

An Irishman, finding his cash at low ebb, resolved to adopt "the road" as a profes- sional means of refreshing the exchequer; and having provided himself with a huge horse -pistol, proceeded forthwith to the con- ventional " lonely eommon " and lay in wait. The no less conventional "farmer returning from the Market with a bag of money," of course, soon appeared, to whom Pat began with the regulation highwayman offer of choice. "Your money or your life?" a re- mark fortified by the simultanecius exhibi- tion of the firearm in the uoual way. The farmer, who was a Quaker, essayed to tem- porise. "1 would not thee stain thy soul with sin, friend; and didst thou rob me of my gold, it would be -theft; and didet thou kill me, it would be murder. But hold! A bargain is no sin, but a commerce between two honest men. '1 will give thee this bag of gold for the pistol which thou holdest at my ear." The unsuspecting atnateur,'Mac- beth, yielding, perhaps, to the Quaker's logic and solicitude, for his spiritual welfare, made the exchange without a moment's hesi- tation. "Now, friend," cried the wily Ephraim, levelling the weapon, "give me back my gold or I'll blow thy brains out!" "Blaze away, thin darlint !" said Pat. "Sure, there's niver a dhrop of powther in it." The result was a sold Quaker. Roofed Barn -Yards. It is in my opinion a successful way of making manure to make it in a covered yard; good manure can be made without question by heaping in open space and fork- ing over occasionally, but with less care a better product is likely to be the average result when made under cover, whether enough better to pay the cost of the shelter is perhaps an open question; if the shelter were only for the manure, the -balance might be struck against it; and if no coarse stuff goes into the manure pile (it is siegular ad- vice of one writer that it should not) the balance would certainly be against it. But the cattle may enjoy this shelter and profit by it, sincait gives to them a larger freedom to move esbout without exposure to storms or cold; and with the aid of their tramping a very considerable addition met, be made to the value of the manure of the yard by working into the excrements the straw or other coarse stuff which, under conditions that may often prevail, cannot be profitably fed; there must, of course, be so much of suchmaterial that the animals will not be injured by too much wetness under foot. This coarse stuff put directly on the land is worth very little for fertilizing ; when more or less decomposed in a well - aired mixture with animal excrements, it is worth much more. -New York Tribune. • A Whimsical Woman. Housekeeper -"How long did you re- main in your last place ?" Applicant-" Sure I left in wan day. There was no plazin' the leddy at all," " Whimsical, was she ?" "Indade, she was that. The first night she complained because I boiled the tay,and the very next morning she complained be- cause I did not boil the coffee. Then I left." -New York Weekly, :4!his sons, purchased land in Bosanquet, hich he held only a short time after clear- ing it up, and it was when returning film, Besanquet on one occasion that he was too fetigued to reach his home in Westminster and tarried over night in London. He was delighted with the brilliaptly-lighted streets on Monday night, and was nnable to resist a comparison with the times of long ago, when tallow dips afforded the only means of lighting houses. Mr. Niehol's father owned land within the corporation many years ago, and he himself has owned houses in the city for twelve years. While anxious this morning to get the election returns firm Westminster, he was particularly pleased to hear the news from Toronto, where Sunday street ear traffic is doomed, and where three ladies have been elected as school trustees. An Irishman's Compliment. A contemporary states that some time ago a well-known professor of singing in Dublin went to stay with the Bishop of Limerick, himself celebrated for his delightful render- ing of Moore's melodies. The professor sang his very best, and was specially successful in the first scene, " Tutto e eciolto," from the " Sonnambula." The bishop was pleased; and his servant, who had known and entertained a high respect and admira- tion for the professor, whom he had not seep for some time, was at least equally enchanted. In the course of the evening this appreciative attendant took occasion to congratulate the professor. With every faith in the sincerity of his compliment, he whispered, when he got the chance, "Shure, your honor, that song was beautiful! I thought his lordship had a grand voice, but there's no touching you at all, at all. Begorra, your honor's got a voice like a donkey ! ' Local Notices. MONEY TO LOAN. -5I per Cent. Private Funds.

Dr. Abernethy and His Patient. Abernethy was invariably successful in making use of apt illustration tin order to convince an obstinate client, when less plain advice was not heeded. One oflhis patients had recovered- from a serious ilium, but was threatened by the influence of the same causes with a return of his malady. "He thought," said Abernethy, "that if he did not drink like a fieh, he might eat like a glutton." lie lived in the country, and Abernethy went one day and dined with him. "Well," writes Dr. Abernethy, "1 ssw he was at his old tricks again; uo, being a merchant, I asked him what he teciuld think of a man who, having thriven in hush nese and amassed a fortune, went and leak- ed it all in some imprudent speculation ?"

On Thursday, December 31, we closed oer dooTs for the year 1891 with a feeling Of satisfaction. For the past seven months we had Catered to the people of Seaforth for` a fiLte trade in:Clothing, Furnishings and: Hats, and we were more than satisfied with our splendid trade. On January lst we had our magnificent stock knocked into a cocked hat by smoke and water, and to -day we have a $5,000 stock of fine goods to slaughter at tremendoUS bargains. People will understand that it is impos- Fable for us to place new' goods along with our smoked stock, and we are forced. to sell these goods at wihatever they will bring, We wilt open our dpors for business on SATURDAY MORNING at 8:30 a. m,, and we are honest when we say that it will pay any man to drive twenty miles to get somie of our bargains.
