AURORA Reeve J Fleury Councillors-«D J Kennedy G W Morrison, 15 Peaxson, and S E Plullips. There was considerable interest taken in the Municipal Election this year The contest was principally for the Reeveship, between-,MrJohn Brown. and Dr. Long- stnif. {There was no direct point of issue between the two candidates. Both had :promised to conduct our affairs to the best of their ability, and were in favor of more eflicient Fire Protection. The friends of those two candidates were fully satisfied that their man was better qualified for the position, than his opponent, and were anx- Iousto elect him. Some assert that the contest was solelv on political grounds, but had such been the case, Mr Brown’s return would have been assured. As it was, no doubt some friends ofboth gentle. man endeavored to make it apolitical con- test, but the Dr success is piore owing to his personal popularity, and close and thorough canvass. Mr Brown is also de- servedly popular ; as the very small major, ity for his opponent shows, and had not some of those who promised to support him, been induced to vote for the Dr, he would have been returned. As it was, he polled 59 votes, and the Dr 6i, giving the latter a majority of 2. There were three ballots spoiled, through the voters marli- ing'their ballots for the two candidates, and it is therefore impossib‘e so decrde whether the Dr’s majority would have been increased by these votes, or whether his opponent would have been elected. After the votes had been counted, the last Countv heard from, and the result an- nounced, Mr. Brown made a few remarks to the crowd, wherein he said that he had no fault to find with the Doctor. He felt assured that. gentlemen would do what he could for the benefit, of the village, and would make a good Reeve. He thanked his friends for their support, and hoped that the Village would grow and prosper with the new Councili 'The contest of Councillors Was between Messrs.

I ART EXHIBITION ~â€"â€"The Exhibition lhcld in theMasonic Hall,by the Me‘â€" chanies’ Institute, on Christmas Day, was well attended. It being rather a novel afi'air, considerable curiosity was naturally aroused as to what would be the result of the labor of the Committee. ‘ We do not suppose one person, out of the large number which attended the ,Exhib1t:on,had the slightest idea that so many objects of a novel, ancient and interesting nature, could be gathered together. from the village and neighborâ€" hood. Those having the management have every reason to be satisfied with the success which attended their efl'nrta. Every visitor must have felt satisfied that they had seen many things which more than recompensed them for the slight trouble and small outlay occa sioned. Some of the contributions were of a very strangekind, and many persons have travelled over half the world, without witnessing anything of a more curious or interesting nature. The number of articles in the Hall was nearly 2,200 and would of 'eourse require considerable space to ennumcrate them. Besides those already mentioned in a former issue, there was to be seen a cross made of bogâ€"oak from the County of Armagh, Ireland, having a base of wood taken from a church built in Eng and about 1200 A.D. Chinese idols over 100 years old. A number of stuffed birds and animals, very arr- eient lace, old fashioned bonnets, dresses, furniture, etc. A piece of cedar From one of the trees of Mount Lebanon. A large number of Indian relics. Petrified moss, deer’s horns, honey- comb, etc, from Mantoulin Island. Many volumes ofhooks, 4, 3 and 200 years old. A cane which we were In- formed was sported by King George IV’s Dancing Master. Muskets of the American Revolution, and many fine paintings, drawings, etc. some of them by village artists. Few persons had any idea that such fine work could be done by our amateurs. Amongst the oil paintings, we noticed, very fine portraits of' Mr and Mrs Chas Chamberlain, Mr and Mrs A Law, and two rare pieces of painting entitled “Mount Vesuvius by day,” and “Mt. V by night ”. Wright and Trench had on exhibition some specimens of fine carâ€" riage Work. A minature Portland cut- ter,1"or a small child, made by Mr J Martin called form exclamations of sur- prise and delight from the visitors. It is a really creditable piece of work- manship, and appeared to be perfect in every particular. There were also a large number of other articles worthy of notice, but: we have not space to do so. We are informed that there are quiteanumber of persons who could greatly assist in another exhibition of this kind, as their articles were not re« quired on this occasion, the hall being greatly crowded with what was collected. We feel assured another entertainment ot'a similar nature, in due time, would 1 meet with great success. SHOOTING MATCII.-â€"â€"The 'shooting match of pigeons, turkeys‘ ducks, etc., at Mr H Hopper’s, furnished sport, in spite of the intense cold, for a large number a9f persons, who appeared i0 greatly enjoy trying their skill wuh the rifle and gun in this way.

CoRRECTION.â€"In our report of the fire, given in our issue of two weeks ago, we announced that Mr river‘s wood- shed had been pulled down. wWe are informed the building was a stable and driving shed. This latter part had recently teen used for a woodshed, which gave rise to the error. Mr Diver’s loss will be heavy, as not only were his bulldings destroyed, but his stock was also greatly damaged. Strange to say. the Liberal in giving a report the week after our issue, made ,nsimilar mistake. PERSONALr-vlllr James Bracken, for some‘years head teacher in our pub- lic School, left here with his family on Tuesday morning last,for Chatham. As we announced some time ago, he has received a position in the Model School, in that town. James is a Mason, good and true. and at the last meeting of the Lodge the brethren served up an excellent oyster supper, They spent a very pleasant evening: You have our best wishes, James. and we feel assured we will only have to chronicle increasing honor and prosper- ity for you, in the future. The funeral of the young man named Raith, of Thornhill, took place on Sun- day last.
