WILLIS CHURCH SABBATH SCHOOL.
At the annual meeting of this soCiety,
held, last.Thursday evening, Mr. Turnbull,
Superintendent, read the following report
for the past year
.11EAR FitiENDs,-On banding over to
you the trust reposed in ns for the year
now broughtt� a close, it is but right that
we Should take a .briet retrospect, over the
•space of tirrse now ending. In some re-
spects the past year has been one of the
most important' in the 'history of the,
school. Owing to a variety -of reasons
many:families belonging to the. congrega-
tion have rerneved to other parte of our
Dominionoonle,to a greater, others to a
smaller distance. The removal of these,
familieS'has had a considerable influence
,
upon the attendance, And it has 'been es-
pecially felt during the latter .months
the SabhatlisSchool year: ./t is esteem. -
..aging, however, to be able to say thatinat-
withstanding the facts mentioned above,
the aggregate and average attendance'are
quite up to that cf last year, and would,
under other circumstances, have • been
much larger. While .regretting the de-.
parture from amongst us of many useful
persons, both old and young, it is , matter
for thankfulnesS 'svheia we consider that
the good influences' thrown around. them
here,
here in the training received in our
school, whether as- teachers -orY scholars,
will continue to be felt in the hew posi-
. . .
Mons in which they are placed, and to be
still further ex -tended by them in -'their'
o ,
new sphere of labor. We have the.con-
sciousness then, that ,under the Divine
blessing on our labors,' mir losswill be a
great gain to others. We can assure_those_
of,our number, who are now absent from
us; thatVour aspirations and our prayers
-go out after them in theirnew house, and
we, trus,t also thattheir nsefulness may be
ef a more extended -nature than it was
here- The aggregate attendance is 11,272,
and the average is 216 44h52or-21.7, which'
is about the same' as that of -last year.
The number of teachers arid officers is 29.
..Sr-hoo-h-ighest-attendanee-in--any--one
was 262. The equipment of the slehool
during the year has been, in genie respects,
more complete . than usual, but it, of
course, entailed a greater expenditure, nit
will be shown by the report of the S.ecre-
tary-Treasurer. .The library contains
about 1,000 volumes, but an addition. will•

total receipts were $211.06 • and the' ex-'
•penditure $147.14, _leaving .a balance of
563.92. on hand. In conclusion we can'
only pray that the blessing of God may,
assit has in the past, be still vouchsafed to
our School, and that many be trained here
for usefulness in the church militant and
for happiness in the world beyond.. ,

Mysterious Ilisappearanee
THE PROPRIETOR OF THE CLINTON RE-
CORD SUDDENLY LEAVES TOWN.
Early last week rumors were current
that the new proprietor of the Record,
Mr. N. H. Buchner, had suddenly depart-
ed --no one knew where For a time they
were disbelieved, as no reason was appar-
ent why such a course should have been
taken particularly as he had rnade a pay-
ment -Of $500 on the, office; -and incurred -
no liabilities in the short time he was
here'but en- Wednesday it lrecanie certain
that he had gone, aud a telegram was -de -
patched for Mr. Floody, who still has a
claim on the offipe, to come and run- it
until something turned up, and it was
under his direction mainly that the paper
was issued last week.
There has been a good deal of talk on
the street in reference to Mr. Buchner's
mysterous disappearance. He had rented
a house.here, and moved his, fanaily into
it, and some allege that -it was owing to
.domestic trouble while ere that lie took
the strange course he did, svhile others,
even, among Conservatives declare that it
was due to the fact that he realized he
had get hold of abaci bargain and thought
it better to lose that amount than more.
The key of the house he had rented, he
returned from Simcee, without any ex-
planation whatever. A ,Mr. 13ick1e", of
\Woodstock, (his father-in-law) has since
been-alipOintecl his agent for the sale of
the, office.
Soine of the Conservatives, thinking
,
there is -still a chance to keep the paper
in existence, are doing their' hest to in-
duce some one else to take hold of it. -
Mr. Neelin, of the Seaforth Sun; is ap-
parently very desirous to get it; doubtless
under the itnpression that where others
have failed he can succeed. The office is
run in the meantime by the boys, until
some one can be persuaded to invest their
surplus cash in it.

Mr. SteVenson, chairman of the °erne-
tery Comthittee, stated that they had
finished a few improvements in the ceme-
:tery, which they lad. been instructed to
make. Hnalso said' that space had been
granted Mr. W.,Cooper; for a single grave
in the cemetery, he being in very needy-
;circumstances.- - o
The 1)ramatie Society asked that they
be allowed the use saf the hall for rehears-
al, on the 8th and 11 th, but- as the hall
• was engaged 'for one evening, they. were
allowed its use on Monday evening.

_EnAsszer-yerarelyslaYs-an y- grie vance s -before -
the public in which itself niay have:a
Part. Occasions, however, sometimes call
for it, hence the remarks which follow.
The Board of Trustees of the High School
have just issued a circular in reference to
I the merits of the school, which was' print-
ed at the Record office. We suppose that
the printing was authorized by the Board,'
-at-that office, and if this was the case, we
think that it is hardly fair towards our-
selves. -The NEW ERA has done more,
fifty ties over, to -11131p build up the re-
putation of the school, than the Record
ever willaccomplish and the Work has
been done gratnitoaly, but if there is any
money to be expended in puffing it, an
office which has no reasonable claim to it,
gets it. We suppose the act will be justi-
fied on the grOund that "the amount ex-
pended Was small." That makes no dif-
ferenee to the principal involved. Since
the Record, has been in existence it has re-
ueived a share of work froni the' Public
School Board, for which a higher rate was
charged than we had ever reeeived for the
same. A.nd the same thing was done in -
reference to town work or advertising, the
Record charging and .collecting higher
rates than ourselves. :Wes have hitherto
refrained from referring particularly to
these matters, but,we dont intend to re-
main quiet aver what is an injustice to us.

STEET PICKINGS. -A number of horses
have been frightened by snow slides, and
on Friday two ladies narrowly escaped
burial by an avalanche from off the mar-
ket. Now that the snow balling season
has dawned iipon us would' it not be well
to take some steps to put a stop to the.
nuisance. There is hardly a week passes
but that some damage is 'done by this
practice. The boys not onlaginjure one
another,' hut break Windows', scare horses,
kke and -svorst-of
enough to know better, try and see how
hard they can pelt some, one as they pass
along the streets. There is a by-law to
meet the case, and it should- be enforced.
The window of the merchants are beg,in-
ningto wear a Christmas a,ppearance. Fair's
mill and, Irwin' s storeheuse were Scenes,of-
unusual activity on Saturday, teams wait-
ing to he unloaded surrounding them all
day long. Many yersonS drive twice .as
fast along the public streets, as the by-
law permits there to do.
Q;17411.a.Eica T oN FOR OFFICE. -The fol-
lowing -paragraph froth an exchange might
apply here, for in former years parties
have sat at the Council Board who had
not tho necessztry property qualification,
and -consequently the acts of such council
were illegal, though no one cared to take
any action in the matter. "The law re-
quiring candidates for municipal offices
-to be possessed of property qualification ac-
cording to the office to which -they aspire,
over and above all incumbranceS, should
not he allowed to remain a dead. letter
upon the statute books. Now that the
municipal elections are once rnore ap-
proaching it would be well to organize a
citizens'sedminittee, irespecti Ye of politics,
to scrutinize the qualifications of eandie
dates and. notify any who fail to come up
to the "standard required by the statute,
that in the event oftheir offering at the
polls steps will be taken to void their
'
CoustmEsies.--As that period of the
year has come when the rules and court-
esies of the road are more particularly
needed a few words on the snbject . will
not be out of place, especially, as Nye lia.ve
been informed by one who has, tr,aovelled
the roads- sufficient to be an authority
upon -the subject, that a• great Many who
have occasion to ase the roads in 'I-Iuron
are either ignorant of the laws of the road
or not sufficiently obliging to make tra-
yellingsinthis respect; either safe or plea-
,
sant. Facb party on meeting have a right -
to halt the read, 'whether loaded or not,
and many parties because thyn
ehavearhe
loaded, been accommodated with - the 1
whole of theroad, thought they had a right ).
to it. When two are travelling in -the
scene direction and the hinder one Wishes
to travel faster than -the first can or wants
to, and the other cannot- pass without he
stops or' turns 'alit; he must do so, and
even render help to pass if he eannot turn
out without dauger. There is no necessity
forSany difficultygor inconvenience' being
experienced in meeting or passing one
another if-a-little-eotirtesy is shown. • At
times- a party is so loaded that -itis almost
impossible for hins to turn out in deep
snow. , In such eases all should be willing
to accominodate him, and receive any as-
sistance needed from him to pais; but,
such party must not suppose that he can
_e_s_fac_t_stIge fagar.,_andsmayebally-the-other-
till he gets it. Where much travelling is
done' it would- be a good thing to have two
