The annual meeting of the above society took place in the C^range Hall, Dundalk, on Thursday, Jan. IStb. The Secy read the Annual lleiinrt. showing the society in a very satis- factory condition, financially and otherwise the increase in member- ship bein^ over one hundred per cent. The directors recommended that the exhibition he extended to two days for this year, and that a fall ploughing match be held in connection with the society. After the report was adopted, tbe meeting proceeded to the election of officers for tlie current year, with the following results â€" President, T. Haubury Vice-President. John And- erson Directors, John Rundle, Jas. Robinson, Jas. Rosborough, Andrew Riddle, D. K. McArtbur, Geo. Camp- bell, Robt. Black and Samuel Stock. Joseph McArdlc was appointed auditor for 1881 on behalf of the members. Tbe auditors for 1880, having failed to make a report, Messrs. Isaac Tray- nor and Joseph McArdle were appoint- ed to audit the treasurer's books. Their report showed a balance in the treasurer's hands of $176 after pay- ing all prizes and expenses. Vote of thanks were given to all the office bearers lor the past year, and regret was exprcsed by all at the retirement of Duiican McMillan, late Viee-Presi- ditnt with the hope that, although not Connected with the society in an official capacity, they would still re- ceive his good advice and encourage- ment. [We are indebted to Mr. A. G. Hunter, Secretary of tbe society for the above report. We had to cut it down considerable, however, for want of space.] GENERAL ITEMS. 1R0wt^P0nhtmft, Notice. â€" We wish it Jisinctly understood, that we do not hold ourselves reponsible for tlie ouiuions expressed by our correspondents. To the Editor of the StANDAKn. Sib. â€" I notice in yonrpaperof the 7th inst., that a person signing himseli "Farmer," in reporting tbe proceed- ings of the Nomination, did me a great injustice in stating that I was opposed to giving any further aid to the To- ronto, Grey and Bruce Railway. I stated the very opposite, I said I was in favor of granting the required aid, provided they would carry our stuff at a reduced rate but I was op- posed to giving one cent if they would not furnish the above security. After stuilyhig the subject still more care- fully, I am convinced that the above is the wisest course for ns to presne. It is certain tbat we bave tbe improve ments to pay for m either case. The company stated positively, tliat if they do not get the required help that they will put on a heavy rate, and so compel us to pay it. Mr. Wragge, the present manager of tbe T., G. A It. Rnilway, stated to a ratepayer of .\rtemesia, that one dollar now would be worth as much to them as ten would be when tbe road was completed. The company has stated tbat if we would give tbe bonus they would diserimnate in our favor. If tliev bind themselves t'l rednoe our nites 2^ cents per hun- dred each way, it would pay us to icive them ten thousand dollars, as we woald get back every dollar in the higher prices om: grain buyers eou^d afford to pay us i*x oar i;rain. It would not be a {nroper business inm- saction ou our part as a township to grant a bonus und •* existing circum- stances, as we would be giving oar money to the T., G. A B. GomsaQy, and expectinj favors from the Grand Trunk Company in return for it. Bonds entered into by both companies should be wfiEbieat aeeurity Tor aa. afply to the beira of the late James ' would aiviae "Farmer" b^iwa he at- Yk3tebd4y's fair was very largely attended by botl. drovers and farmers. Cattle sold well considering the quality of some of them. The merchants did a large business in their respective lines. â€" Oravgeiille Advertiser. It is stated that during the recent cold suar an up-country editor froze todcatli while sitting by his office stove -endevoring to keep warm on the prom -ise of his subscribers to pay wood for their paper. â€" Ib. Municipal Depctatijn. â€" A deputa- tion cousistiug of Mr. Kenneth Chis- holm M. P.P. for the county of peel, Mr. Colwell bcotl, mayor of Orau"e- ville, waited upon Attorney-General Mowat Friday morning iu reference to 'the organization of tbe county of Dufferin for "judicial purposes with. OrangeviUc as the county town. The deputation strongly urged the issue of a proclamation establishiug the new county according to tbe legislation of last session, stating that the coun- ty buildings were now nearly com- pleted md would be entirely ready for occupation in a few days. The reply of the Vttorney- General was favorable, and the proclbmation is likely to issue within a week. â€" lb. No uieilicineis more justly popular than Hat^ard's Pectoral Balsam. It is a positive specific for all diseases of the Throat and Lungs leading to Consumption. It loosens the tough phlegm or mucous, soothes irritation, allays troublosome coughing and heals diseased lungs. Sold by all dealers at 25 cents per boottlo. What might have resulted in a very serious accident occurred at Mr. k Gilford's residence one evening last week. Miss Gifford was walking ac cross tlie room with a lamp iu her hand when the top of the lamp becom- ing disconnected from the lower part fell aud broke in pieces. ' Some ot the oil spilt on the stove and becomiug ignited set fire to tbe carpet and a brisk little blaze at once shot up. It was extinguished, however before any serious damage occurred. â€" MoniOn A TouNO man named Alex Mc- Donald, a late arrival in town, was up before the Mayor on Wednesday eveu- ing, charged by Airs. Myles with breaking into her house. The Mayor imposed a fine, which with cos^s amounted to $7.50. Failin:; to come down with the "needful" he was sent to jail for 20 days. â€" Monitor. A 'proclamamation issued by the Governor General directs that the census of the Dominion shall be taken ou Monday, April 4tb, and that the procedure to be followed shall be after tbe de juie system, or of tbe domiciled population. Of the eight shednles to be filled the first gives the nominal return of the living, and the second the nominal return of deaths within the last twelve months. The third treats of real estate, public institutions and industrial establishments. The fourth gives a return of cultivated laud, of field products, plants, fruits, etc., and the fifth of live stock, animal products, home made fabrics aud furs. The sixth is a return of products of the forest, the seventh of shipping and fisheries, and the eighth of mmeral products. Mcnirr Forest ran now boast of a new instiutions yclept a Police Court.
