BACK .TO HIS FIRST LOVE. -The NEW tRA mentioned a couple of weeks ago the intended return of Mr M Beckwith to town. The Wingham Times speaks of him as follows:- ' "Mr M Beckwith, who • has been in the employ of Mr A Nichol as baker for the past few years, leaves on Satur- day for Clinton, where he has secur- ed a good situation.. Mr Beckwith Will be greatly missed in Forester circles, he having taken a very active part in the management of Court Maitland, C O F, he occupying at the present time the office of Chief Ranger." The Wingham Advance also.says:-"Mr M R Beckwith, bats- • er, who has resided in 'Wingham for some time, leaves this week for Clin- ' ton, where he has secured a situation. The column in the Signal under the beading of "Wonderful Wingham" will henceforth of necessity be written by some other would be scribe. Mr Beckwith has been a good citizen, and the Advance is sorry to see him leaving town, and hopes that he will benefit thereby. FINE CATTLE. -Messrs Smith and Hearn shipped 143 head of stall -fed .cattle on Monday,; the entire lot was a fine batch, and among the number were evidently some .of the very best j Green's eldest son, he having been the that ever leftthis locality. Those family physician there. sold by Mr Forrester averaged over eiateen hundred apiece, which is ex- ceptionally good weight; one turning the scale at 1.800 lbs. His were the heavieet bunch of cattle in the entire lot; in fact we believe they were the heaviest that were aver sold here. A steer, owned by Mr James Fair, went 17041be, which is also unusually good weight. The following are the par- ties arties of whom all the .animals were se- cured, with the weight of their ani - reels: -- (1 Forrest, Stanley, 3 head, 3860 lbs Ii Crich, Tuekersmith, 2 bead, 2900 John Chia, Goderich township,1 bead, 1020 J Beacom, Goderich t'p, 8 head,290, bu71,1680 James Cornish, Hullett, 10 head, 12,470 It Peacock, Tuokersmith, 16 bead, 20,650 James Fair Clinton, 31 head, 44,090 D A Forrester Clinton,.12 head, 19,290 ' Ei Hill, Goderioh ttownship,1 head, 1480 JCaldweii Stanley, ead,2390 ad, 1490 (1 Hicks, doderioh townshlp, 1 head,. 1100 Gi Eno, Hullott, 1 head, 1550 J -Fisher Colborne,,4 head, 5550 J Marquis, Goderich township 2 head, 2610 D A Purvis, Godorich townshlp, 2 head, 1990 D McGregor, Stanley 5 head, 6290 T Fraser, Stanley, 4 bead, 5100 J Cowan, Stanley, 4 head, 5150 W Wise Obderieh township, 4 head, 6180 J Hill, doderioil township, 4 head, 5860 Jae Vodden Hullett, 2 bead, 9750 tV Vedden, (Hullett, 6 head 7890 J Jenkins, Goderich township, 9 head,12,570 • Jag Brown, Hullett, 9 bead, 4060 9'Jenklns, Goderioh t'p, 2head.2490, bu11,2200 G1Middleton, Goderiohtownship, lhead,1430 W Weymouth Rullott, 1 heed, 1440 Jae Graham, Goderioh township, 2 head, 2560 C Lovett, Goderich township,1 head,1420 The absolute necessity of some bet- ter yard accommodation for the keep- ing of the Cattle before they are Weighed was quite manifest on Satur- day.

Mr John McMillian's election expen- ses amounted to $55. 75; Mr Cameron's 3431.86; and Mr Porter's $410.98. With the approach of warm weather cometh the barefooted boy. They are becoming quite numerous on the streets. Dr. Holmes, County Treasurer, is attending to the duties of Mr P. Adam- son, County Clerk, during the latter's illness. The contraot for the stonework of Beattie's new livery has been given to Mr Hiram Hill, and that for the brick- work to Mr R. Heywood. We understand that the dry goods merchants are paying 12 cents a dozen for eggs, which is the highest possible price the market warrants. Mr Arthur Couch will raise a large bank darn on his farm on the Huron road, on Monday next. Mr Harem Hill is doing the stonework. Mr. Henry Steep, late of Winnipeg, son of John Steep, town, has purchased a hardware stock at Collingwood, and ccmmenced business for himself.

"Donovan" will be concluded in our next issue. It has taken a little longer in running its course than we had an- ticipated, and our next story will not be so long. Taylor & Sons continue to reach out for more trade, and have jest bought out the entire stock of a boot and shoe dealer at Hensall, and added it to their stock in that place. About! 80 appeals will come before the Court of Revision next Tuesday evening, at its first sitting; these are not against assessment, but are mostly names of young men that are to go on. Mr W. D.

Miss Whitely, of the Huron road, Tuckersmith,(sistor of Mrs W. S. Law- rence) got tramped by a horse a few days since,ana has been confined to her room from the effects thereof. Her in- juries, fortunately, are not serious, how- ever. What is to prevent the Town Council having the names of the principal streets put np where people could see them. Ask a man where he lives and likely as not he cannot tell whether it is Queen's Avenue or Gladstone Terrace. The prosperity of a town is not gaug- ed by the wealth of its inhabitants, but the uniformity with which they pull together when an important undertak- ing is to be accomplished. A man with a thousand dollars at his command and a love for his town in his heart can do more for building up and improving it than a millionaire who locks np his cap- ital and snaps his fingers at home pro- gress. Mr A. M. Taylor, of Toronto,(a for- mer Huronian) is suing Mr. Mulock, M. P., for political help rendered in 1887. Archie claims $25 per speech, the sum total being about $190. If there was an Understanding that his servioes were to be remunerated, he will certainly be toconed something, and we do able l , not see why men should be expected to give their services for nothing, even in a political c60i1paign. . The adjourned meeting of the Official Board of Rattenbury St. Church vile held on Tuesday evening, to wind u l the finances for the year.

We publish the following from the legal intelligence which appeared in the Toronto dailies, on Wednesday last, it being of interest to several parties in this vicinity :- RE TIPLING v COLE.-Jndgment on motion by garnishees for prohibi- tion to the third Division Court, in the county of Huron to restrain pro- ceedings upon a judgment recovered in the court, on the ground of want of jurisdiction. The want of jurisdic- tion alleged was that the presiding judge in the Division Court reserved judgment after hearing the case, and did not adjourn to any particular 2sy. Order made for prohibition. D Ar- mour for the motion, Shepley, Q.C., for the primary creditor, contra. It will be remembered that in this case Mr Thos Tipling was attempting to garnishee proceedings, to make the amount of a Judgment in the Division Court here, against Peter Cole, from several farmers in Hullett, who were said to owe Cole for threshing, it being contended on the other hand that the sums were not owing to Cole alone, but to bim and his brother. - The case was heard here on the 25th of October, '89, and, as some thought, then disposed of, but the primary creditor had it brought up at several sittings afterwards, contending that judgment should be given in his favor. Finally, on the 23rd of December last, His Honor, J udge Doyle, gave judgment in Tipling's favor, against Messrs Wm Shipley, R Brown, Wm Monck, Charles Peacock and John Hunter, for sums said to be owing by them to Cole, whereupon application was made for prohibition, with the above result. Manning & Scott, so- licitors for garnishees. E Campion for Mr Tipling. ' AITCHESON V MCMICHAEL.-This was an appeal by Wm Aitcheson, un- der the ditches and wa tercourse Acts, from an award made at the instance of Gilbert McMichael, by ,J J Mc- Kenna, engineer for the township of Hullett, awarding a ditch to be made and maintained, affecting lot 3, con. 4 and lots 3 and 4, con 4, Hullett. The appeal was diepoaed of at the Town Hall here, on Wednesday last, before His Honor Judge Doyle. It was contended, on behalf of the re- spondent, that the notice of appeal was insufficient, and chat a properly certified copy of tie s ward had not, as required by the S;erute, been left with the Division C rurt Clerk,the Beal of the corporation of lUutlett not being attached, and cons( quently the judge bad no power to fix a day for hearing. These objections being overruled, the judge held, upon the contention of counsel for appellant, that the award was bad, on the grounds that the engineer had awarded the making of a certain proportion of the ditch to the respondent and the maintaining of the same to other parties, and that the respondent, who Ira the owner of an estate for the life of his father, in the lands in respect of which proceed- ings were commenced under the Act is not an owner within the meaning of the same, and consequently not empowered to institute proceedings. The award was set aside with costs to beaid by the . respondent. W Proudfoot for appellant. Jas Scott for respondent. Foi1q1y WASHINGTON. - Yesterday Mesare Jas. Mitchell, of the Goderich Star; D.
