The mnnicipai atmosphere in tbe variotiB Burrounding municipalities is uuuBually calm, yet there is often the greatest calm before a storm. GL£NEL«. In Glenelg there is hkely to be im- portant changes, but they generally leave the question open until the nomination, when all fall iento line. The latest word is, that Mr. Charles Mofiat and the present deputy reeve wUl be candidates for reeyeship. Mr. Dunsmore is spoken of as a probable candidate for deputy. Edward Rnt- led;e is spoken of as a proper person to represent Markdale ward in the council, and if he will consent to take the field, will be elected without doubt He is one of the first settles of the township, and is a staunch progressive farmer, and has the respect and con- fidence of the whole community. HOLIAND. Holland council met at Holland Centre on Monday last, and as far as we could learn there is yet no proba- bility of any opposition to the present board. Should the ratepayers unite in the direction of economy they have now a good chance to save the town* ship $100 in tiection expenses. ASTBMESU. As far as we can learn Artemesia is in about the same position as Holland, and the old council may all be re- slected by acclamation. OSPBBT. Our correspondents in Osprey either wish to keep matters quiet, or they have nothing to report on the proba- bility of municipal changes. BX7PHBASIA. MumciFAL matters in Enphrania are more quiet than usual at this advanced stage of the season. Mr. Gilray, tbe reeve, will not likely have any opposition, whether or net however, ho will be re-elected. Mr. Fawcett, the deputy, will have opposition. Several names are mentioned, but who the opposition will be, is hard to say just yet. W. J. Shepherdson has been named, and at first declined the request of various ratepayers to take the field, but later he has been so pressed by leading ratepayers from the four quarters, as well as tbe centre, of the township that he has decided to leave tbe matter open until nomination, and then if it is tbe determination of the people to elect iiim, he will accept the nomination. If he should, he would doubtless be elected by a large majority. His municipal experience has been short, hut he is an apt scoUar, and bas improved bis time, and besides he is jjopular all over tbe township. U«weAlBK Alwnt Cbristaaas.â€" ' A Bear Story. To tkt Editor of the Siasdabd. Si«,â€" As no one has committed sui- cide, broken his leg, or eloped with a •ertain gentleman's "Betsy Jane," and as no events of interest to your read- ers has come within the range of my observation, 1 will give you a few thoughts about Christmas. Christmas is near at hand, and we fancy we smeil the aroma of roast goose rising on the crisp frosty air. Several prophets predict a green Christmas but, in the face of the fact that prophets are always correct, let us hope that in this ease a green Christmas has been predicted by very green prophet" Wait a moment, I must tell you a bear story which I had almost for- gotten. The other day, while a Glen elger was walking through his bush, he was attracted by a crackhng of brush, and espied a few paces ahead, a large black object. Could it be a bear? It certainly seemed like one. B«ing unarmed, our hero speedily re- treated, and marshalled a company of intrepid volunteers for a bear hunt. Arrived at the scene of action, the self-constituted leader harangued his followers and ail pressed forward to conquer or die. The savage animal, finding himself surrounded, detei min- ed to make a bold rush for life, so, springing forward, he burst through the crowd, and, with a lond bark, Nap ran home, and the soldiers, niter hold- ing a council of war, sneaked ditto.

It is popularly admitted everywhere that McGregor's Speedy Cure is the safest, most reliable and far cheapest remedy for Con- stipation, Liver Complaint, Indigestion, Im- pure Blood, Loss of Appetite, and all similar troubles.

The following is one of Benson's locals, which was sent in with others for publication two weeks ago this particular one was minus the name of the proprietors, and has subjected us to various puns from nur exchanges. "I have got better and will sell cheap- er Liquors of all kinds than any one in town, and will give Whiskey with- out water Come and get a flask on trial free." BOUND TO SUCCEED. In last week's Markdale Standard we found tbe following announcement, and as no name was mentioned in connection with it we presume it is a new dodge of Bro. Eutledge's to in- crease his subscription list. Following is tbe item "I have got better and will sell cheaper Liquors ol all kinds than any. one in town, and will give Whiskey without water. Come and get a flask on trial free." The MiKEOE is pleased to hear you are better Mr. Stanlard but is rather surprised tbat you have so soon gone back on your Scott Act principles. It does not sound well for a man who so strongly advocated the Scott Act as did you a short time ago, to an- nounce that yoti will sell cheaper and purer whisky than any other dealer. And thtn to say yon will give a trial flask free caps all. What has brought about the change â€" [Meaford Mirror. SuEiLT Not. â€" The editor of the Markdala Standard says: â€" "I have got better and will sell cheaper Liquors of all kmda than any one in town, and will give Whiskey without water* Come and get a flask on trial tree." Surely not, brother Rutltdge J Tbe compositor must have omitted the liquor seller's name and tbis made it appear as though it were vour own "budge."â€" [Bhelburno Econo- mist.
