THE FIREMEN'S BALL.—The Firemen's Ban, on Friday night last, was a grand euc- cess in epite of the elements. A more die - agreeable night for a ball could not well have been imagined, nevertheless over 150 couplets assembled in Cardno's Hall to trip through the measures of the mazy dance to entrancing music. Had the weather been pleasant the hall could not possibly have ac- commodated, with aoy degree bf comfort, those who would have been present, The supper was, we are told, a more than ordi- narily rich reparit at to satisfy the most epicus tan taste, 'The affair did not break up until it waa almost time to start to work next day, but thenithe firemen'e ball only comes once a year. MANITOBA MATTER.S. —We in Ontario ' think erne a dun winter, but, judging from reporte, we are exceedingly prosperous when compere! with .the people of Manitoba. A geueleineu recently returned from that province, states that last fall the Sheriff at Brandon had aforce of seventy bailiffs at- tenriing the tbreshings in that district seiz- ing the grain on behalf of the storekeepers; e that taxes on unimproved property in Brandon on the back etreets are as high as fifty cents a foot; thet almost every store- keeper in the proviuee is in financial diffi- culty, and that the farmers are in straits, some of them having to eteal enough grain from their creditors to keep- their leanings !alive over the winter, and many of thnin have elreacly mortgaged their next year's crop, which will not be in the ground until _spring, in order to pey debts contracted this; or iatit year, of to hold off creditors who' have !leen hanging on already for years. It is not rnuch wonder that four fifths of the people are in favor of tariff reform, or any- thing else that will make living a little cheaper and expenses'a little lower. THE DEPARTURE oF A GOOD MAN. -7 -The Rev. William Graham, of Egniondvillee was born at Comrie Perthshire, Scotland, pos- sibly iu the year'1818 He was licensed to preach the grape! in 1841. He was married to Miss Mary Fletcher, of Leith, on the 20th of Merch, 1843, the Rev. Dr.: Thor - burn officiating. The next day after his marriage he left his native land and sailed for. 'Canada. After landing in Canada, he preached in many places, viz.: Gelt,London, Paris, Guelph, Hamilton, Sinecoe,Caledonia, Fergus, Wellendport, Ayr Dunnville and a good many other places. Re was -called by the congregation of Stanley and Tucker - smith. to be their minister. Ile accepted the call and was ordained over that congrega- tiein, January 15th, .1845. He thut spent nearly two year's preaching from place to place, The late 1)r. Bayne, of Galt, held him in the highest respect, and interested himself much in getting Mr. Graham set- tled. In 1866 his wife died, leaving two sons, both stall living, and two daughters, both of whom have since died. in 1867 he was merried to Miss Elizabeth Gowanlock, the Rev. Dr. Cochrane, of Brantford, oflicie Ming. Some years before this the congre; gietion built what was considered at that time a fine, large church in Egmondville, and far twenty-nine years Mr. Gfabarn con- tinued to labor among them as their most beloved paator. In 1874, he aecepted a call to -the congregation of Pine River near Kin- cerdine. The work there was Of a kind that required a good, strong frame, which he never had, and so in 1878 he resigned his charge and retired from the active duties of the ministry, and lived all the rest of his life, in Egrnondville among his ,old friends. Although physically never very strong, his mind was ' alweys active. He was a great reader, and loved to make known to others what he thus gathired himeelf,and so long as his strength enabled him, he gave supply to the congregation of the late Rev. John Rome, of Brucefield, till October, 1892,when he found it necessary on account of in- ereaeieg infirmity to cease preaching. For some months past it was evident he was i wasting away. He saw himself that hie sun. vvas fist settling down, and theugh of a titnid, reserved oast of mind, he grade all arrangements for his departure. His last illness wes short, and he quietly and peaceably passed to the majority on Satur- day morniug, December 16th. The subject of thie sketch was a remarkable man in many ways. He was not a man of the world. He never meddled with politica, nor did he very often let his voice be heard in church courts. iHe seemed to shrink from everything which put him in apparent conflict with his brethren; still he formed his own opinion on all matters which came be- fore him, and if pressed would give a clear and decided opinion upon them. But he wain a man more than ordinarily gifted in the pulpit. When his theme was Christ and the way of salvation, there were few who could equal him in gathering the statements of the Scriptures on the subjectin the rich- ness and eloquence of the language employ- ed. He had tho happy faculty of selecting from his reading the richest expressions and weavinglthese along with the most striking portions of Scripture, and these things gave him a power in religious exercises few men possessed. This power will keep his mem- ory freeh in the tn;nds of those who knew him best, and most appreciate him. He leaves behind a widow and daughter. He was deeply attached to his home eurround- inge and he will be greatly missed. The widow and daughter are held in high re- spect and have the tenderest sympathies of Cele community. He desired that his funeral should be conducted in elle simplest way, and if there was any one thing apparently he desired to he kept distinctly prominent as his last message to the world, jt was, that he was a sinner saved by the grace of 'God. He was huried on Tuesday, Decem- ber 18th, in the Egmondville cemetery. • " " THE UNWRITTEN HISTOR/Y OF HURON COurirY,"—a beautiful volume ; thei best 25o Xmas DEN it VVII4BON'S.

J. 14, &MIL 1358-1 ,A PLEASANT EVENT.—The farewell social to Mr. Crawford, in the Young Men's Christian Association roome, on Wednesday evening last, ,proved to be a ‘v,ery interest- ing aod enjoyable one. There were a large number present, the majority of them, per- haps, being pupils ex -pupils, and comrades on the athletic fieid. The programme con - dated of music by the Asaociation orchestra, a vocal solo by Mre. W, D. Bright, read- ings by MnAllan McLean hnd Miss Tufford, and short addresses by the Mayor, Dr. Smith, Mr. Wm. M. Gray, Rev. Dr. Mc- Donald, Rev. Mr. Hodgins, and ,Mesers. Prendergast and Cheswright, of the Col- legiate Institute staff. At the close of the programme Mr, Crawfbrd was asked to come on the platform, when representativee of the Football and Lacrosse clubs preseUted him with an address and a handsome bak secretary. Mr. Crawford made a neat and appropriate reply, and the company then proceeded to discuss the refreshments which had been provided, and. spent a half hour or so in assail intercourse. We are sure if Mr. Crawferd could realize on all 'the good wishes he received Wednesday night,he would only need to teach school as is, he must feel that he ct, and esteem of the is a comforting assure ew field of labor. a recreation.

Mr. T, Hills, who has 'so efficiently filted the office of secretary -treasurer during the past eighteen years, declined to act any longer, and Mr. McAdam was appointed to the vacant position. Mr. Elliott Vies re -ap- pointed president and Mr, Stevensoe vice- president. The lehture by the Rev. Mr. phelps was well receiveds and proved him the right man for the' position of agent.

COUNCIL DOINGS.—At a meeting of the Council hold on Friday evening, accounts; to the amount of $205 were passed and the financial statement prepared by the clerk was adopted and ordered to be printed as required -by law.

THE NEW TEACHER,—A. t their meeting PRESENTATION.—On Wednesday afternoon at' the close of the day's session at the, Col- legiate Institute, the pupils and teechers gathered in the assembly room to perform a very pleasant function. Mr. Crawford was called to the front and exhibited some of that trepidation which is wont to overcome hie pupils when they receive a similar com• mend. However, he was not to be asked to write five hundred lines or to report to the head master, On the contrary, before hcecould gethis first breath of relief, Miss Alinie Gray began to read an exceedingly complimentary addrees and Mr. John Jack- son], on behalf of the pupils, presented him with a handsome diamond pih. Mr. Craw- ford replied most appropriately, in one of -those happy little hnpromptu npeeohee at which he is st master hand. During hie stay among us he has indeed proVed himself a useful member of society. He te a most ex- cellent and successfulobeaoher, which in it- self is sufficient to merit for him the respect and gratitude of the public and he has been most obliging in the matter of using`his_ literary -and other talents to give pleasure to others, Seaforth loses iu hint a most valu- able member of society, but Owes cannot wish to keep him when he has so !well merited a position the upon of whialt we could not give him here. HORSE PUROILASES,—Mr, if. S. Beattie, V, S., hari purchased from Mr. E. C. Cole- man the splendid young blood stallion, " Terre Haute." He was imported from Kentucky by Mr. Coleman when a foal, and he is now coming four. He wee sired by Allandorf ; he by Onward, and he by George Wilkes. Hie third dam wase by Ethan Allan. .His breeding should produce speed. —Mr. 'Thomas Lepslie has also made some important purchases at a recent etoon sale at New York, He brought home two very promising fillies and a young etallion. One filly is a yearling. She is a beautiful bright bay ; sire Nutwood Wilkes, with a three year old record of 2.24. His dam is by Thornewood, a son of Nutwood. The other filly is coming two, browe in color a Wilkes and Happy Medium. Her dam 'has a mark, of 2.goi. The stallion, " Faren- tine," is a. pretty bay, coming two ; by a son of Nutwobd. This colt has full brother with a'. three year old record of 2,22:11 on a half mile track. They have each got three producing dams. Mr. Lapslie has purchased these youngsters for breeding purposee, and we believe he has made a most judicious selection, ANNIVERSARY SERVICES. —The anniver- sary services in connection with the Sea - forth Presbyterian chureh were held on Sun- day and Monday evening last. The Rev. J. W. Rae, of Acton, preached on Sabbath, and delivered an address at the Monday eVening meeting. Our people were greatly delighted with Mr. Rao. He is an easy, flUent, graceful speaker, a natural orator in fact, and his matter is fully in keeping with his manner. His sermons were listened to with interest and, we. have no doubt, profit by large congregetions. On Monday even- ing a variety of untoward circumstances seemed to conspire to make the meeting a small one. In the first place there was no tea, and that antiquated method of raising church funds seems still to be ie favor with a good many, although, if each one would give in oash half of what the refreshments provided for a tea -meeting costa them; they would be in pocket and the church funds would not suffer, In the second place, there is scarcely a family in which one or more of the members are not affected with la grippe, and in the third place it was one of the stormiest nights of the season. The meeting, however, despite the small attend- ance was a very pleasant one. The chair was occupied by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Mc- Donald, who conducted this part of the meeting in his usual happy manner: In the course of his introductory remarks he men- tioned that this was the 26th anhiversary of the opening of the church building and of the organization of the congregation, as both events occurred nearly at the same time. The principal speaker, of course,was Rev. Mr. Rae. He delivered his promised seeress ou a " Trinity of Good Things " alai, no doubt, relieved the curiosity of hle audience by explaining to them vehat a Trinity of Good Things is. 1st. A Good Disposition ; 2nd. A Good Home ; 3rd. A Good Church. -It would take up too much space to elaborate theee points, ,as ,any at- tempt at a report of this unique and admir- able address would spoil its effect,' One would need to get the while of it, or to hear itodelivered, to appreciate it. It was a rich treat, being - at once , amusing, interesting and edifying. Mr. RI,. is as much at home on the platform as he s in the pulpit, and Acton Is fortunate in having -such an able, agreeable and versatile clergyman. Rev. Mr. Galloway, pastor of the Methodist church here, also made a brief but neat ad- dress. The church choir, under the leader- ship of Mr. James Scott, with Miss Ewing at the organ, were out in force. This choir always does well, but on this occasion they seemed to excel themselves, and gave a number of musical selections which delight- ed all. The very pleasant meeting was brought to a close about 10 o'clock by votes of thanks to the speakers and the choir and the prenouncing of the benediction by 'Rev. Mr. Rae. LOCAL BRIEFL—Mr, Archibald Scott, of the fitin of Soott Brothers, returned. home fiom Manitoba on Monday. Mr. Scott has been in the Prairie -Province for about - three months.
