Council should take into consideration
the advisability of building a gallery

uti1ve committee of the North Huron
Teachers' Association met here on Satur-
day. It was decided to hold no meeting
of the association this fall, but to hold.
one early next year, possibly in January.
'Phis is due to the course pursued by the
West Riding Association in fixing on the
same date as bad been originally selected
for a united meeting of the two associ-
ations, and the action of the West riding
association was strongly commented on as
being decidedly unfair.

by the action of.many farmers, who hold
over their butter until the fall, when -there
is no iv<holesale market for it, for after na-
vigation
is
e
'tfind a market, and the consequence is,
business men very often are compelled to
"carry" a stock of butter, which, bad they
received earlier in the season could have
been disposed of, and the proceeds to meet
their lis ilities.
No " SOLD.—What is known as the
Whitehead farm, on the base line, con-
aining,334 acres, was put up for sale by
ction, on Saturday, but was not sold,
he bidding not being high enough. By
dvertisement elsewhere it will be seen
hat the farm is offered by private sale.
t is one of the largest and best grazing
arms in the county of Huron, and the
rice at which it is offered, $30 an .acre,
s quite reasonable. It is not likely to
.emain in the market at this figure very
ong, for its location, only being a few
iles from town, makes ita desirable
roperty.
NARROW ESCAPE.—The residence of
Mr, E. Floody bad a narrow escape from
estruction, and the initiates a rather
tartiing experience on Monday nighte
lamp burning in the bedroom exploded,
rom some cause, and the oil took flre,
itching the curtains, etc. Mr: Floody
ad sufficient presence of Mind to take
lankets from the bed, and smother the
eines before much headway had been
ade. Mrs. Floody has been con-
fined to bed for several weeks, by illness,'
nd, when the accident happened she was
o startled that she sprang out of bed and
ade her way into an adjoining room,
here she fell helpless on the floor. Her
ervous system sustained a shock which
t will bo sometime before she recovers

linament, the chief ingredient of which
as carbolic acid, she drank the contents,
Iain lying down in bed, and making the
Mark that she " thought she could sleep

ed several hours after. • She leaves five
ring children, one only eight months

tnpathy of the citizens, goes without
ring, and this sympathy found exprt's-
in In the unusually large number who
thered at the house on Sunday to fol-
v the remains to the cemetery.
HOW able to leave the house. Dr. Met 1
fan, Model School Inspector, visited Clin-
ton school on Tuesday; he was mach
pleased with the management of the
school, and 'strongly recommended • the
trustees to make •additional provision for
the small:children, either by enlarging
the present building or erecting a ward
school; it is altogether likely that the
trusf.ees will recommend to the council
the latter course. The tax collector has
aarted on his rounds. Mr. Geo. E. Pay
takes possession' of his new house next
week -better warm her u , George—.
Mr.' Thos. Beaom has sold his house on
Princess street, to Ur. D. Welab, for the

attendance on Friday eveeing last, at the
'meeting called by the Provincial Treasur-
er, We were pleased to observe it large
number of ladies in the audience, who
were apparently es much interested in the
Fooeedings as the male: portion. Mayor
orrester .2ccupied the eheir, as he al-
ways doeeeerta a dignified 'manlier. Mr.
Ross addressed the meeting first, and inet
with a'. warn: .reception. He dealt with
the questions at present engaging public
attention --the boundary award,:•. the li-
cense question, the veto power,. and. the.
general finances of the Province. . As is
his wont, the Provincial Treasurer; dealt.
with these mattei's.in his plain, straight
forward,_ matter-of-fact spanner, The re-
cord of the Mowat goverutnent requires
no special pleading to uphold it, and the
oftener it is laid before the public in the
same way as Mr. Ross did en V`e'das even-
ing, the -surer will confidence continue in
the administration,
Mr. Cameron's speech was a clear and
concise indictment of the Government at
Ottawa. Hescored point after point
against the extravagance, the .corruption,
the maladministration of affairs by the
Tory Government, led by Sir Sohn • Mac-
donald. We do not ',remember listening
to. a'speech by Mr. Cameron which :vas
