The extreme mildness of the season, however, has doubtless contracted purchases. June weather in the last week of December can hardly be favorable in the aggregate to business. WHAT Was UP. --Happening to be at the elation WeelliirdiTy we were astonished at the crowds on the platform. Inquiry revealed the fact that Miss Lottie Chidley, daughter of Mr, Joseph Chidloy, had that day relinquished her title to the family name and linked her fortune with M r. J. L. Doherty, and that numerous friends of the hap.y couple had met to giv9 them d off upon their taking the 1 portion of what we hope be an extended and agreeable ey through life. And if it bo good luck in rico the plenti- enpply of it on this occasion spiciously ominous, Mies MARTHA COWAN, of Bright visited her aunt, Mrs. W. T. White- ly, the past fv days: • WEST HURON FARMERS' INST. will hold annual meeting at God- erion ou 17th, and 18th Jany. Prof. C. C. Jaures, G. C. Caston, ' Eegr., W. Cowan, V. S., and others will give addresses. Couou's-Christmas display of meats is very tantalizing to those whose discriminating palates will have to be controlled by their purses. How- ever, we suppose there are few who cannot spare au extra dollar to in- dulge in good cheer when Christ- mas comes but once a year. Ma, W. 0. MALLooR is home from Toronto for the holidays. We regret to learn that the pleas- ure of his visit will be somewhat starred by a recalcitrant thumb which will not down to its normal quietude on account of au abrasion ou it, accompanied by symptoms of blood poisoning. C. O. F.—The Foresters had their unreal re -union at the Com- mercial last Thursday night. We regret that other engagements pre- vented our accepting their kind in- vitation to be present ; but we un- derstand that they had • their usual pleasant and profitable tirne. These venerators of Robin Hood have im- proved on his manner of doing good. He' carried out his princi- ples of beuevo.leece in spite of the law, they in accordance with both .the higher and civil law. THE INVISIRLIi SoM110DY.—Ex• Lieut. Gov. Cutback, of Indiana, lectured in the town hall on Thurs- day evening ou the above fruitful subject. There was a moderate at- tendance. The lecturer made some excellent hits and must have struck the "invisible sombody," who is a ubiquitous if impersonal personage. Sometimes he assumes the .forst of - "Mrs. Grundy" but more often that of "It is said," and is altogether a despicably mean, cowardly, fellow, who besides his more notorious ali- ases also takes possession of profess- edly Christian men and by dastardly inuendees seeks to malign and tra- duce the characters of women as well as men. The lecture was under the •auspices of the Mechanics' Institute and was well worth listening to. A W00DSTOCK ARMLESS MAN.— The following statement made by Barnum's "Armless Man" to an interviewer, may be of interest: "I was born armless and although I am devoid of those useful adjuncts to the human frame, the arms, I am not helpless for by diligent practise I have become able to perform all necessary offices of life and rapidly as those who are blessed with arms. Having been born armless I have not lost them, therefore, I suffer no loss whatever, and so am quite as independent as any one. Why, I can w^'d}f, dress, shave myself, pre- pare my own food, and while seated at an ordinary table upon a common chair can feed myself as easily and rapidly as a person can with hands. I have been travelling for the past eighteen years and have never em- ployed any assistance whatever, but have performed all the necessary otiiices' of life for myself. I was born in Woodstock, County of Ox- ford, Province of Ontario, Canada, on the 6th of July, 1855, so, there- fore, ata now 34 years old. MODEL SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT. —Probably the most successf'il affair of this kind was that of last Friday evening in the town hall. The programme contained thirty- five numbers. The attendance filled the hall, and unwilling outsiders lingered in the purlieus. Besides exceptionally pleasing musical selec- tions there were calisthenics, dialogues, recitations, and tableaux quite naturally renderod,of summer, autumn, Canada etc. The class numbers under the guidance of teachers the Misses Wilson, I-Ielyar. Williams, Simpson, Doane, Struth- ers and Plummer evinced a nicety of taste in selection and intuitive or acquired correctness of delinea- tion that spoke well for both teachers and those taught, and was markedly illustrative of that sympathy which should ever exist between teachers and scholars. Principal sough deserves well of parents, children and the' School Board for hie untir- ing efforts in aiding hie assistants to terminate the Christmas examina- tions in such a pleasing and it may be added profitable man manuotk The tableaux were arranged b FYMise O'Neil and Jackson presi( was assisted by ed of Messrs.Shoa' Simpson.,.. Mrs. }list organ a�, ' rchoetra com o - 'y' `v allard and Taplyn. Mr. T. Jac teen jr. managed tho vocal music and Masan Pay, Burchill, J. P. Doherty, Bert Hodg- ens and Albert Cooper kindly as- sisted on the stage and at the door. The Principal wishes us to give ex- pression to his thanks to all the gentlemen for their aid, and to Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson and all assistants, for the readiuoss with which they undertook tho great amount of extra work in connection with the entertainment at a time when they wore preparing pupils for promotion examination. The net proceede 3f tho entertainment will be devoted to putting an iron pipe fence in front of the school, provided the Trustees will under- , take to complete it. • HOLIDAY: -:PRESENTS ! 0 0 We are ready for business with an immense assortment of CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Though the church iu Petrolia is in a united and prosperous condition, and Mr. McCosh is very popular. • SCORE ONE MORE FOR CLINTON.— %'Ir. Robt.
