West Wawanosh.
BRIEFS,—Mr Mathers has been en-
gaged in S.S. No. 3,West Wawanosh,
for next year, at a salary of $335 per
annum; he is at present:attending the
Model School. Mr Geo. Agar, who
was on the sick list, is able to be
around again ; he has two weeks'
threshing to do yet. The squirrel
hunt, on the 7th con., is again an
eventof the past.; whether Capid
succeeded in winging any of the fair
doves time alone will tell. Our
township fathers have been making
quite a number of improyemente on
our roads this fall; rine of our beats
on the 6th and 7th cons. received the
step child's partion, and when re.
minded of the poor state done of
the parts of the beat, remarked, "We
will seta job there next year,"—what
a firm trust some of our township fa-
thers have in the confidence of the
people, that is, in their own estima-
tion. Mr McCabe's two sons, John
and Michael, left for the Lumber
woods, in Michigan, a few days ago.
THE Don.—There is a strange pe-
culiarity in the habits of.that domes-
tic animal, the dog. When all other
animal creation is enlivened by the
voice of spring, and the assessor, with
his brightest smiles, is performing
his annual rounds, the dog may be
observed in some remote out -house,
pining in desolation. But now, even
the dreaded face of the collector has
for him no terrors. It is a mystery
we are unable to solve, how that not
half of those animals ever get pro-
moted to the collector's roll.
CouxcrL.—Council met on Nov.
9th; members all present; minutes of
last meeting read and approved.—
John Miller presented a petition
signed by thirteen ratepayers, asking
for a grant to him for wire fence, to
be built along side road between lots
18 and 19, and along south side of
con. 12, a total distance of 13Q rods.
A bonus of 15 cents per rod was
granted for 70 rods lying along„the
side line. $5 was also given to Mr
Miller, as compensation for damage
done to his field, brteams driving
over them when -roads were blocked
by snow. Richard Phalen and others
asked for a bonus to Jas. Wood, for
50 rods of wireefence along east boun-
dary ; 10. cents per rod was granted.
Thomas Miller requested the council
to pay part of the costs of the late
arbitrationiibetween the township and
himself.—Request refus..rl, 1

Limerick.
Since the death of our priest the
parish has been without a regular
stationary priest. A priest has been
sent up from London to fill the work
temporarily, until the return of the
Bishop, when a regular priest will be
atationed•here again. It is not known
who he may be, but if the priest who
is here now be appointed, the ap-
pointment will be satisfactory to the
people generally.
(1recliton.
Several new houses have been erect-
ed in the village this year.
There have been fewer bricks made
here this year than for some years.
Mr Wourtb complains that there is
a very poor demand for the flax fibre
this year, and that, times are dull in
his line too.
Mrs Wm. Chambers•has given up
housekeeping since ber husband died,
and bas rented her house. One day
last week a very neat white bronze
monument was erected at her hus-
band's grave, which etre selected after
visiting the Exeter cemetery.
Stephen.
DDEN DEATH,—On Friday even-
ing last, Miss L. Keys, daughter of
Mr Thos. Keys, formerly of Stanley,
and niece of Dlr W. Keys, died some-
what uuexpectedly. She was tst;,;n
with swelling of the veins of the legs,
and nothing could be done to save
her life. She was an estimable and
exceedingly popular young person,
just budding into womanhood, beim
aged 22 years. 11111000

`PERSONAL,—Mrs Gregor McGregor
is this week visiting friends in Green-
ock.
RUNAWAY.—On Monday last one
of Mr Robert Pearson's horses got
loose and went towards the road ; the
other, which was tied, broke loose
and followed, both then started at
full speed and ran oyer a mile, but
no damage was done, as they were
not attached to anything.
QUITE A Roan—While Mr Gra-
ham was coming home from Bruce -
field, in the gig, the bold back got
loose, and the gig ran up on the horse
and frightened him. Mr Graham
jumped off, and the horse ran away,
and was caught over three miles
from where he started, nothing the
worse of his race.
Comm”.. —Township council met

bers present; the reeve in the chair:

Mr James Armstrong is at pre -sent
visiting friends in Muskoka.
Mr John Martin has thoroughly
renovated the Walkerburn saw mill.
Nor SOLD.—The farm of Mr Frank
Kilty, on the 2nd con„ offered by
auction last Thursday, was not sold.
Mr Eli McLaughlin, who has been
in Dakota for the last few years, has
returned on a visit for the winter and
looks as though Dakota agreed with
him.
Muncie/ma—The municipal pot
has not yet started to boil, and from
present appearances is not likely to
do so. There is not the slightest
whisper, so far, of any changes or
prospective changes in our municipal
affairs, and everything betokens .a
wonderful calni.
Oue of our enterprising youths has

ler W. G. Pope, of the 2nd con. of
Mullett, has purchased the farm of
Mr N. Desmond, being the east -half
of lot 19, Srd con., containing 50
acres, at $1,400. There is a small log
house on the place. Mr Pope has
secured a bargain. The next thing
we shall be hearing of will be that
William will be taking some one to
help him work it.
RUMORS,—It is reported that an
industrious young man on the gravel
will shortly form a partnership with
a popular young lady; we fear the
rumor is true. It is also rumored
that a certain young lady who resides
on the gravel, not over a farm's length
from the other, will shortly form an
alliance with a young farmer of Mor-
ris. These are sure signs of a cold
winter,
HULLETT GRANGE.—At the Net
meeting of f1"ullett Grange a very
interesting time was experienced.—
It has been decided to hold, during
the winter, special meetings, at which
subjects shall be discussed by sides
obosen for the occasion. The leaders
are Wm. Gray and Humphrey Snell.
The male members on the side that
loses throughout the season is to pay
25 cents to a general Lund, while the
ladies, under the sumo circumstances,
are to provide eatables for an enter-
tainment,
Benmiller.
ARRIVED HOMY--Meware Malloy
and Vanstone arrived home Saturday
evening. They were brining three
horses for themselves, and one sent
by James Drummond. of Scotland'
for Mr J. J. Fisher. This horse was
a fine 3 -year old, and won last spring
in Scotland a £60 prize; and was one
of the best horses on board the ship;
it would weigh nearly 2,000 pounds,
but on account of the voyage being
so rough, after they were out five
days it died and was thrown over-
board, so also was Mr Malloy's best
one, a yearling colt. They now have
two horses, a fine 2 year old and a
yearling colt.

W, F. Campbell, of Holmesville, in
the evening. Both services were
well attended. and the sermons much
appreciated. On the Monday even-
ing following a tea meeting was held,
when addresees were given by Revs

We understand Mr A. Mr • .ay, son
of our townsman, Dr, Mc.Lay, has
been engaged to teach in Nile school
On Tuesday evening Rev A. Potter
delivered his lecture on the "Ameri-
can War," at Ebenezer. The Dun-
gannon choir was to have furnished
the music, but, unfortunately,throngh
some mismanagement or misunder-
standing, they were "unable to fill
their engagement; however, under
the circumstances, the disappoint.
ment was not very great.
Some of our young people took in
the Sheppardton tea meeting, on
Monday of last week, and report an
excellent time, which reflects credit
on the Sheppardton people, not only
for their efforts in making their en•
tertainment a success, but also in
doing so nobly in cancelling the en-
tire debt, which has been such an
encumbrance to the church in the
past. We wish them God speed.
. Rev W. F. Campbell, former pas-
tor, of the Methodist church here,
now at Holmesville, preached two
excellent discourses to large congre-
gations, Sunday morning and even-
ing. His subject in the morning was
on the "Educational Fund," taking
for his text in the evening, "Ile ever
liveth to make intercession for them."
Hie discourse was earnest, practical,
and to the point. Mr Campbell al-
ways meets with a warm welcome
from h.ie,frlonds in Dungannon.

There lives in one house in this
township three widow women, two
mothers, two daughters, one grand-
mother, and one grand -daughter, and
yet there are only three persons.
`Ingham.
Mr McDonald, flour and feed mer•
chant, is away in Michigan r u busi-
ness. We believe that he owns a
farm in that State.
EVANGELISTIC,—Revival services
commenced in the Methodist church
last Wednesday evening, and are to
be continued, but how they will be
conducted, we are usable to tell.
AucrloN SALE.—Mr Cleghorn had
an auction sale on the market square,
Saturday last. We know not where
Mr Cleghorn intends going, but we
are sorry for the cause of the break
ing up.
ENTERPRISE.—Mr Hessin bas just
fitted up his store into a tin shop.
We looked in the other evening and
found he had a good supply, and
hope be will get patronized, as he
deserves.
TEMPERANCE.—Quite a number of
young ladies of town ,net together,
Monday evening in Mr Ritchie's hall,
to organize a temperance society. We
think that such a society could do big
work in Wingbam.
BAND No. 2.—The employees of
Mr Bell's factory have organized a
band ; the instruments have been
purchased, and a goodly number are
already on the list, (good musicians,
too), so we may expect, in a very
abort time to have it a No. 1 band.
BUSINESS CHANGE.— The tannery
formerly known as Brenan's tannery
is now conducted under the name of
Hyman & Co. We hope Mr -Brenan
will remain in town,•as he has hither-
to been a good citizen, a good em-
ployee, and also philanthropic in his
actions.
A GOOD STAND. --Mr D. B. Cal-
bick has rented agood business stand
opposite the market square, being
much more prominent than where he
now is. We congratulate him on the
change, and hope it will prove a
financial success, as Dan is a real
good citizen, and we would not like
to see him leave our booming little
town.
.Two 1fANATice.--Rey J. Scott had
to call two young men to order twice
during his sermon, on Sunday even-
ing, At the second time he st',ted
that they were not Wingham people,
hut stragglers from he did not knew
where; wo would suggest that per-
haps they had escaped from the Lon-
don Asylum, as they behaved more
like fanatics than .sane pen -ions,
Row WILL ';Iris FARE.-- We
sometimes wonder if an editar will
eventually get to heaven. Yoh ask
why such an outrageous, idea ° Sim-
plp because they always encourage
the devil in the office. jIf our cor-
respondentonly knew how'angelic all
editors are, particularly ,:when sub.
scribers don't pay up, he would have
no doubts as to their future state. J
FLeuros uNG AGAIN.—The chair
factory is again running to its fullolt
capacity ; the proprietor is Mr But-
ton, of Teeawater. We believe it is
Mr Button's intention to put in ma-
chinery for the manufacture of cane -
bottomed chairs, which will employ
a large number of hands. A Settle-
ment has also been made with former
employees, they receiving 90 cents on
the dollar.
A CRYSTAL WEDDING. -- Uo the
19th of this month Mr and Mrs Davis
hadlbeen married twenty years, there-
fore, on Tuesday last they celebrated
their crystal wedding. We are sorry
to say that Mre Davie is in delicate
health, and has been for some time,
owing to a gathering on her leg.
We sincerely hope that she may from
this era of her wedding life gain
health and strength, and soon be aa
of yore.
ALAS, ALAS. -A saint wo have in
Wingbam town, a widow saint is she;
who owns some horses and a foal, we
think they number three. From the
barn they strayed the other day. and
lo, a Russel bold, caught them firmly
by the head, and would not Iose his
hold. And to the pound was leading
them, when out the widow camp, and
asked ,l im-ta-release his hold; but
still he led the tame. Finding en-
treaties all. useless, she boxed kiln on
the earn, but still be led the beasts
along, in spite of threats and tears,
And in the pound he landed them,
and locked the gate up fast, but the
widow still she followed on, and re-
leased them "all at last. Before the
Mayor ebe had to go, who fined her
just one dollar, or in default to jail
would go to Goderich on the morrow.
Tho widow thanked his worship good,
and said she'd like to go to Goderich
town and see the folks, arid feel the
lake breeze blow. She has not yet
had her trip, nor felt the breezes
blow; w`,other she will eveutuaily, is
a thing wo do not know,
A FIEND LET LOStc,--As wr' always
mail our little budget on Tuesday
evening, there aro often later items
that do not get inserted, and yet are
too stale fur insertion the next week,
but we do not intend to omit an oc-
currence that came. to light last
Thursday morning, whet] our esteem-
ed citizen, Mr Thornaa 13e11, found
that some one on the previous night
had entered his factory, and out of
pure deviltry tampered with the en-
gine, doing much mischief. Had it
not been discovered until the engine
had started up, the damage would
have been immense ; as it was they
had to stint down for 'a day, and by
working most of the following nigtt
were able to start on Friday morning.
The town council has offered 8200,
Mr Bell, 8100, and the Advance edi•
tor, $10, for information that will
lead to the arrest of the fiend. A de-
tective from Toronto has been in•
vestigating the case, and certain par.
ties are suepected. We only hope
that the guilty party or parties may
suffer the full penalty of the law, Mr
Bell has aince employed a Mr trig•
gins for night watch.
