this winter as this time last year, ow-

away to their eternal home last week.

parties is past the young people are
turning their thoughts to less trifling
andtinore profitable pursuits, and are

seed time. Some of . our citizens are
looking forward to a good run of sap

extensively into syrup -making are
John Mills, H. W. Alien and Mr L.
Tasker; we hope they will be gener-
ous, and when their friends call on
them will pass some of the sweets
around. Owing to the great depth of
snow there has not been much team-
ing this winter; most of our farmers
have been content with getting up
firewood, doing chores and sitting by
the fireside the remainder of the time.

FOQTBALL.--The eleven veteran foot-
ball players, from Blyth, came to
Londesboro to play a friendly game
with the Raw Recruits here, on Satur-
day. They were a sturdy lot and when
they saw our boys they expected an easy
victory. At five o'clock the two teams
lined upand until six there was a lot
of fine kicking, sprawling, bunting and
cheering; yes, there was such a lot of
other things that there was no room
for goals. At the end of that time the
thathe has endeared himself to a 1, and justice to a good supper, but in this
they were doomed to a disappointment
as they never ordered. it. The' Veteran
Team then went home with no glory,
no supper, but with a passive . turn of
mind, and with a determination to
treat our boys well, when we go there.
the gathering was for the purpose of
showing the good will and esteem in
course of the evening they were both
presented with easy chairs, Mr James
T. Waldron reading the following
address.—
We, your old friends and neighbors, have
gathered here to -night to spend the evening,
and to express to you our deep regret that you
are about to remove from our;midst, and feel
that it is l'rnpossible to tell you how keenly we
fuel this separation. You have been always
with us, you have been our friend and the firm
friend of our children. Atourprayor-meetings,
at our Bible class, when possible you have been
present laboring earnestly for the Master, and
rest assured tonight that words spoken by you
will bear fruit in duo season. You aro about
to remove to a new home, may you continue to
labor for the Master and may His richest bless-
ings follow you and yours in whatever position
in life you, may be placed. We ask you to ac-
cept these gifts, take them in token of the love
and esteem we bear you, in remembrance of
the many happy hours wo have spent -together,
and in hope that when years have passed you
will return again to your old home.
Mr Avery made a suitable acknow-
ledgment of the gifts, expressing his
gratitude for the unmerited kindness
shown him and his wife. After spend-
ing the evening in the usual manner,

able hour. •

without their aid. We will be glad to

How Din HE VOTE?—In the last
issue of your paper your correspond-
ent from East Wawanosh took excep-
tion to what was said about Mr B.
Williams being a supporter of the N.
P; if Mr Williams voted' for M. C.
Cameron, I am glad that he showed
such good judgment, of which I am a
littledonbtful, but I know if Mr Will-
iams voted for Mr Cameron it was for
the man he was voting, not for the
cause, as all who were acquainted with
him knew him to be a staunch Con-
servative in politics. How is the cor-
respondent so well posted as to how
Mr Williams marked his ballot, as I
have been led to believe by leading
Conservatives that the Dominion bal-
lot was strictly secret. As to the hon-
esty of Mr Williams, that was not
mentioned, therefore we have nothing
to say about it.

A CUTE TRICK.—On the 28th of last
month as a young man was driving
from Londesboro to Blyth, he overtook
Mr R. Sanderson, who had a load of
hay, and who was also going to Blyth;
knowing full well that the load of hay
would never proceed far in safety, and
fearing he would have to heip load up,
the man in his cutter passed the load
of hay. He put his horse to its mettle
and soon was eight rods ahead when lot
and behold! over went the load. But
the man was free and off he went.
When he got around the "Big Hill" he
saw Mr John Garrett cutting wood in a
bush there. He stopped his horse and
told Mr Garrett there was a person over
the hill who wanted to see him. Mr
Garrett went back, saw the trick, and
helped to load up, while the other fel-
low never stopped until he set in Blyth.
This was hardly the right thing to do.
Brussels.
HOME CIRCLE.—A Circle of the Or-
der of Canadian Home Circles was in-

DEATHS.—Elizabeth Ferguson, wife
of John McRea, who was one of the
first settlers in Morris township, and
flrst place, don't think that by leaving
your bell at home no one is going to
know where you g' or what time you
come home; and in the second place,
we think it might be wise if you would
muffle your horse's hoofs in case the
unusual rumballing might reach the ears
of some one else and get you into
trouble.
NoTEs.—Miss E. Ivison, of Kippen,
is visiting at Mr E. C. Potter's. There
appears to be something wrong about
the markets, or else theroads are in a
bad condition. for there was a sudden
"fall in hay" last Wednesday evening
as Tom Potter was taking a load
through the village. Mr W. Pickard
spent Wednesday with
friends (?) in

bell at 7 and 12 a.m. and 1 and 6 p.m.

the woods preparing some inflammable
material for future use. Sickness is
still in our midst, particularly among
the younger portion of the community.
A refreshing rain fell on Wednesday

(From an occasional correspondent.)
MISFORTUNE.—While on the way to
Goderich a certain young man's horse
had the misfortune to fall, which
caused considerable excitement to the
occupants. Immediately the cry arose
"will I get out?" But the young man
thought by the assistance of the whip
and himself "Dobin" would soon rise.
Results were nothing more than a
broken string of bells and a lame
horse. However, they reached their
journey's end.
A DISAPPOINTMENT.—One of our
popular young men who was expected
to be waiter at the At Home, employ-
ed another in his stead, while he made
his way to a neighboring concession.
Owing to sickness he was compelled to
return alone; no doubt he felt some-
what di sappointed. Cheer up,George,

Hardy, have lived a happy life. for
many years. Of late however, there
has arisen a difference of opinion as to' •
the ownership of a valuable farm in
the vicinity of the village in which
they live. Now by reason of their
inability to coincide as to the ownership
thereof, Mrs Hardy sues her husband
for $10,000 which she is willing to accept,
allowing him the property. The hus-
band recently asked the court to change
the place of trial from Berlin to Gode-
