' his is the time when the man wh does not take a paper because he ca not afford it meets with two or tri •ee travelling confidence men, and gets• cheated out of euough money in one day to pay for' subscriptien to half a dozen papers from every county in the Province. WOULDN'T SHIRK HER DUTY. - She *as bravo - He -"Getting married seems to be very dangerous now. No fewer titan seven brides have been accidentally jailed on their wedding day this year." She (ingenuously) -"But no true woman will shirk her duty, Tom, through a craven fear of death." FORMER HURONITE HEARD FROM. -At the late Nov. election's, Mr. Allan McLean, formerly of Seaforth, and brother of M. Y. McLean of The Expositor, was elected, on the Republican ticket, county treasurer of Huerfano County, Colorado, where be has lived for a number of years peal. The office to which Mr. McLean has been elected is the best in the county from a pecuniary point Of view. 0 YEZ ! 0 Ynz !-When a settler in the Northwest territory wants to go back to Ontario to bo married, the Canadian Pacific railroad sells him a matrimonial ticket 'at the us- ual rate, and ou presenting the re- turn coupon and a marriage certifi- cate, he is entitled to free transport- ation for his bride. We expect to notice quite a large number of "bride - tickets" before next March.,. Already severalbf the expatriated "boys" are visitiug forthe winter the land of fair girls and the home of maidens free. PRACTICAL ADVICE. -Mr. T. J. Moorehouse, an old journalist, said the other day that he was surprised at some of the, eigns used by Clin- ton business Men. Many .of them are too indistinct altogether and puzzling to a stranger. The gentle- man believes in having all adver- tiaeing properly displayed, plain and attractive, and complimented THE NEWS -RECORD for its excel- lence iu this line. Mr. 3.doore- hens° was a successful business man, and hints from a gentleman of his ability aro well worth considering. THE NEWS -RECORD is second to none in Canada for properly displayed advet tisemen1s. Wut4 giAtorx, of Ooderich, tv• turned hone 4,0ttudey.

LEOTURE,-"Thp indium of the Northwest," is the subject of a lec- ture to bo delivered by Rev. A. D. MoDonald of Seaforth under the auspices of the W. F. M. 8. on Tuesday evening Dec. 6. in Willis chord, commencing at 8 p. m. Admission 15 cent. Tun Parkhill Gazette buildings with contents were completely de- stroyed by fire one night last week. It will be remembered that the proprietor, Mr. J. W. Green, took unto himself one of our fair young ladies a couple of months ago, and this scorching is rather an unpleas- ant addendum to the honeymoon. Mr. Green's loss is about. $2,000, covered by $1,000 insurance. He will get new plant at once and con- tinue the business as usual. HIS LATIN WAS RUSTY. -The Rappel tells the following anecdote: At a grand dinner party a guest as clumsy with hishand as he is witty drops a pleat of pickled -tongue- up- on Lha lap of his fair neighbor. "Pardon me, madam," cried he, "it is not the first lapaua linguie I have made to day," The laugh evoke by the clever hit set a stout fellow' who was not deeply learried'v, iu Latin to thinking. "I can do that as well," he thought to himself, and deliberately drops a mutton chop upon the lap of his unlucky neighbor, exclaiming at the same time: "Nothing but a lapsus linguie." A DRAMATIC INCIDENT. -A knight -not of the hose and buskin, but of the stove pipe fraternity, while engaged on a building in ward one day recently missed his foot ing and falling a distance of 'kever- al feot, alighted with one leg in the capacious maw of an unattractive and unctuous swill barrel, while the other found its way into the soft bosom of an ash barrel. Drawing himself out of the .compromising position, he mounted the top of the swill barrel and shouted in lang- uage unmistakably plain and clear, "A horse, a horse, my knightship for a -pair of pants," which came in due season. THE INTELLIGENT and Tribune. -"The grand jury at the recent high court at Welland were charged by the judge that an indictment for a certain offense up- on a girl mild not be maiutained uuless the girl was chaste. After hearing the evidence and agreeing to find a bill, one of the jurors hastily got up and said : "Gentle- men, hold on. We've overlooked something. The judge told us there must be evidence that the girl was chased first. Now we have heard nothing about her being chased by an-ybocy," A little quiet explana- tion of one of the mysteries of the English language enlightened the juror, and ho quietly subsided." GRIP'S COMIC ALMANAC for 1888 has been received, and is certainly a credit to the publishers. The six calendar pages are from designs by J. W. Bengough, and the whole series are about the best specimens of caricature drawing that we have yet seen from the pen of this clover artist. A. H. Howard, W. Ben- gough and other artists contribute e'sketches--a series of pictures illus- trating the House that Hash Built being particularly good, while the reading matter throughout is even bettor than hasappeared in previous years. Tho price is only 10 cents a copy, and you can get it atthe bookstores or send direct to GniF Office,' Toronto. REAvEmENT.-Wednesday last Mr. John Boles passed over to the Majority at the early age of 43 years. He was stricken down some two months ago with what was thought to be typhoid fever. And though occasionally rallying some- what there had been little hope of his recovery for the past week or so. Ho leaves a wife andfamily of four children, the oldest about 17. They will reap the benefit of the foresight of a kind husband and father, in the form of several thou- sand dollars life insurance. • Do• ceased was a good citizen with all the term iMplies. He was at one time a member of the firm of Thompson &Boles and afterward of Corbett & Boles of the Clintou Woolen Mills. KIND WORM -From time to time we aro highly complitnented on the excellei:ey of Tun NEWS- -R,F,GORD: A subscriber from the north remarked the other day that this journal was "the cleanest, neatest and best local paper iu the county, and took the lead in his section." Another subscriber; from Colborne, asks us to change his address and adds,that he "likes Tun NEWS RECORD very much." Still another, from 13ayfield, who has taken three county papers for a number of years, has come to the conclusion that "THE NEWS -RECORD more than fills the place of the trio" and paid for this journal a year in advance. Such practical testimony is very encouraging and we shall continue, our endeavors to keep THE NEwS-RECORD, what it now is, one of the, best publications in Wes - torn Ontario. HE KNEW HUMAN NAn-RE-,-1143--- had called at a house on Rattenbury St. and as he rose to go ho said: believe you wore out shooting on Thanksgiving day 1" "Yes." "Get much gamer "Ono little sparrow." "Hal ha ! ha That's about what I expected." "Good night." When the visitor had gone the wife of the sportsman indignantly said : "Why could you sit there e and lie in that bold way? you know you brought home five ducks and two grouse." "My dear wife," ho replied, "you don't know human nature. That man is now willing to take my word for $1,000. If I had told him of Cho game I ',really did bag, he would have gone away believing. mo to be the biggest liar in the country," • D•1"31'W' S'INZIO= 01,P Perlin Wools and Fingering Ulm 81:1.42Mti4, .A•'1" T-ADVir Photograph -Albums, .A.tatograpb.

After con- `gratulations on the success of the Association iu stimulating the im- provement of the finer class of horses, and suggestions as to the bestruode of tiirecting their efforts iii, the future for the common good the meeting was•adjourned, FRIENDLY VISITORS. - Thursday of last week we had a call from Mr. T. S. Moorhpuse, of Bayfield, genuine whole-soulod gentleman, oue of the olden time. We were glad to see him, and to renew ac- quaintance'with his estimable lady at the Rattenbury House whefe they put up. It must have seemed like old times to Mr: Moorhouse when he looked around our office, he having for years been in the newspaper publishing business hint - self -In the afternoon of same day that prince of jovial Irishman, take him physically or intellectually, Mr. B. McCormack, of Goderich, give us a warm hand shake. But there is a dark lining to every cloud, and though we were heartily glad to see our old friend, we were much grieved to learn of the cause of his visit to our town -to accom- pany tho remains of his deceased brother-in-law, Rev. Fr. McManus, to Goderich, which arrived by the evening train from the south. Though 11,13 agree to differ from Mr. McCormack when he brings to bear historical treasures from his well stored mind, and by logical and forcible application of them doesn't " leave us a leg to stand upon " in a conversational symposium, we can strike hands with him in token of thorough sympathy with him and the friends of the late Fr. Mc- Manus on the loss of so able, useful and promising an ornament of his church and race.

WHAT WE MAY F.YPT:CT bet my boots,"said an old fellow' from away out in Puslinch" on Monday, speaking very emphati- cally, if .not very elegantly -"I'll bet my boots that thisisn't winter - (it was cold that Monday, with,quite a bit of snow'on the ground) -and that 'winter won't set in until we have heavy rains. I have lived fifty years or more in Canada, and I never saw winter set in before the creeks and' sivainpa were well filled with water. Why, just now there ain't enough water in the creeks to give the cattle a drink, while the swamps are as dry as the barn floor. Old Canada must be:mightily do - moralized if winter iigoints to set- tle down before these littrerthings, - aro properly fixed up. But don't you boys fret, we'll have soaking rains yet before winter grips us tight !" Hope our old friend is right, but -well we guess we'd better say nothing about it. -Galt Reporter. •..-- • -The contract for the harbor improvements at Goderich, has been let to David Porter, of Wiartott, for tho sum of $17,000. -Miss Dimsdale, the lady evengelist, is about, to begin a series of special services in Victoria avenue Methodist church, Chatham. -Mr. E.
