THE FIRST HISTORIC FALL Was
that of Adam, then came the fall of
Carthage, and the subsequent fall
of the Roman Empire. Later on we

THE TIME 1S SHORT.—Tho muni-
cipal nomination and election days
will bo the 26th Decernbea and 2nd
January, the days that 1vi11 bo obs
served as Christmas and Now Year's
holidays. Intending candidates for
municipal honors should not leave
to rumor their intentions but ni'ako"
them known by card in the local
papers.
SOME TIME .co the Callender
Bros. of Clinton failed in the
buggy making business. Mr. as.
Thompson became the assignee.
He brought action to recover from
Mr. 'Twitchell cortai 1 property he
held to satisfy his claims against
the insolvents. The assignee has
gsaiued his cease and the creditors
generally will get the benefit of the
property hold by Mr. Twitchell.
Mit. \\"m. SiHEPPARD, a former
townsman, whom wo announced
last week as being hero from Por-
tage La Prairie, Mlau., says .that his
folks writes him that tho temperature
there last week was 35 O below zero.
Sar. Sheppard likes the climate out
there, the lowness of the mercury
being no criterion of personal dis•
comfort. Nor is there the half and
halt' sort • of weather there that wo
have been "enjoying" in Ontario
the past few days.
THE QUESTION REY111NS t S:1rS1V-
ERED.—The uncertain foothold on
the streets last week was very an-
noying. As a middle-aged lady
was passing. along a slippery portion
of sidewalk she slipped.. and fell.
A nice old gentleman; who was
passing at the time hurried to her
assistance, and, as ho assisted her to
her feet,, politely remarked: "Did
you fall, madam V' "Fall 4 Of
course I fell. You don't suppose
I'd sit down here to rest, do you 1"
• she snapped. 1Ie didn't say what
he supposed.. •
A BROKEN WRIST.—Ou, Friday
as Mr. D. Jailor, father-in-law of
AIr. Arthur Cantc:ou, town, was
driving home on the Bayfield line,
near Clinton, he noticed. a horse's
leather boot on the road. The rig ho
was in was pulled up -and he reached
over the side of the waggon with
his cane and endeavored with the
bent end of it- to hook on to the
find. In doing so, he reached over
too. far and Lost his balance, possibly
Rained by a Birch of the waggon, -
and fell out, head foremost to tho
• ground cutting his face severely
and breaking the bone in ono of
his wrists.
•
• A FINE PIECE OF \Ircrl.txicAL
Worm.—About three years ago Mr.
.lames Ross commenced the con-
struction of a writing desk. It is
almost completed and will be ready
for inspection in Chidloy's furni-
ture store about Christmas. The
whole piece of furniture is designed
well and accurately put together.
The g''ouud work is of line walnut,
iulaid with seventy-two kiwis of
Canadian, English and American
woods, and made up out of over
forty-two thousand separate pieces
solidly put together. It is the
most complete arrangement that
cau bo seen; on the top is a Limo
piece inlaid ; handsome halt' round
top doors cover fourteen pigeon
holes and apartments for ledger,
day book, cash book, and a cash
drawer ; below are revolving doors
and several other apartments. Tho
whole structure is one that required
a great deal of labor and genius, and
Mr. Ross can now show What
patience and perseverance will do.
We believe it cannot bo bought for
Much less than two hundred
dollars.

Me, Jos. PLUM moved into his
new house this week. -

I)e` Clare, Man., about Christmas
or New Year's.

ing medium should call at THE
N Ear>s•1{Eta) nn office.
L. 0. L., 710 meets next Monday
evening, Election of officers and
other important business requires a

FRIENDLY CALLERS.—Last Thurs-
day we had a call from Mosrrs.
Magnus Swanson, Robert Reed and
1). McLeod of Godorich. They ac-
companied Mr. Watson and family
this far on their way to Dakota,
whore Mr Watson. will go into the
baking business.
LAST WEER we omitted to men-
tion that Mr. and Mr. Thomas Con-
nell were among she excursion
party from Dakota and the Cana-
dian Northwest. That country
seems to agree with Mr. Connell ;
iu fact he has become transformed
into a genuine heavy -weight. The
excursion is for forty days.
A BIG CITY'S HORSES.—T11010 aro
60,000 work horses in Now York
city. Of these animals 25,000 aro
changed every year. The animal
death rate is about 1.4,000 and about
11,000 to 13,000 go lame or become
otherwise disabled. The estimated
value of the horses of all classes if?
Now York city is $12,000,000:
AOOUT PEDDLERS.—Not alone in
Guelph and Clinton aro there ,tea
peddlers plying their operations.
S. G. Martin had been selling tea
from house to house in Brantford
without a liconso;–but claimed that
he was a resident on account of
having rented storage for tea, and
because he had been looking for a
house to rent. The magistrate held,
however, that it was an infringe-
ment under the bylaw, and accord-
ingly fined hint $10 and costs. Tho
case will be appealed.
MOST ExECRAnL1:.—The names of
School Inspector Toni and Judge
Tones having several tinges come up
in conversation among the county
councillors at Goderich last week,
ouo of the latter asked : ."Why
dons Goderich society remind one
of a party of Chinese 1" Failing to
receive what he considered a proper
answer ho replied : "Because ouo
so otter hears torn toms." A dead-
ly rush was .made for him but his
stertorous voice calling out, "I'll
stand the oysters," disarmed resent-
ment and he was allowed -to live.
GREAT TnoTTEns.—Maud S. was
eleven years old when she made her
top record : Jay -Eye -See, six ; St.
Julien, eleven ; Rarus, eleven ;
Maxey Cobb, nine; Harry Wilkes,
eleven; Phallas, seven ; Belle Ham-
lin, eight; Goldsmith Maid, seven-
teen ; Clingstone; seven ; Trinket,
six; Patron, five; Hopeful, twelve;
Lula, niue; and Majolica, nine,
when they performed at their best.
d
Goldsmith Maidid not enter upon
a turf career until she was matured,
and so her highest development was
made iu after life. She was the first
trotter that ever reduced the record
to 2.14, and for several years she
reigned the queen.
0! 0 : !—E. F. Clark, of Toronto,
is a candidate for the Mayoralty'of
that.city. The Globe urges against'
him that he does a large quantity
of printing for the city and until he
divests him of the quasi character of
city printer he should .not be a ^,au-
didate for Mayor. THE NEws•REC-
01tn does not wish to take advan-
tage of the abseuce of Mayor White-
head to ,boons opposition to flim,
but will say thatthe qualifications
of neither of the proprietors of 'TILE
NEws-.Rrconn could bo successfully
attacked, so Gar as the emolument
they derive from corporation print-
ing is concerned, were either ouo
a candidate for the Mayoralty ,of
Clinton.
CLINTON COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
—The opening of •this Institu-
tion took place in the building last
Thursday.. The Hon. G. W. loss,
Minister of Education, was present,
the Hon. A. M. Loss was not. In
the evening tho Hon. G. W. Boss
delivered au address in the Town
Mall and a ploasi entertainment
was given by local .,tient. There was a
large number present. It is under-
stood that the Collegiate Institute
will not bo gazetted until January,
but that the then. declaration will
have.a retro -active effect, as Collegi-
ate work has been performed by
the staff for some time past. In
passing wo might say that Principal
Master Turnbull and assistants Mc-
Lean, Perry and Pobb have an ex-
cellent past record for assiduous at-
tention to their duties and most satis-
factory results therefrom. It is but
fair, therefore, to presume that with
enlarged premises, additional ap-
pliances, and higher aims, the work
will be of oven a more substantial
and gratifying charactor than ever.
Success to the Clinton Collegiate
Institute.

SEEING Tr1EM OFF: — Quito a
number of friends were at the Cli-n-
ton station Wednesday of hist week
to say geed bye to a recently made
happy couple who were leaving for
the groom's home in Blenheim, the
brido being a daughter'of Mr. \\'m.
Townshond of Goderich township..
Tho many expressions for the wel-
fare of the bride, and showers of
rice in quantity sufficient to feed a
dozen of moon -eyed celestials for
a week, must bo taken as 5680/51100
that though she had linked her fate
with one who was bouud to love
and cherish her as long as life doth
last, yet there were many others
who would still retain a soft spot
for her in their hearts. We wish
Mr, and Mrs. Sarararas all manner
of happiness.
T0N CouNotr. met Monday night.
Reeve McMurchie in the chair.
Polling places wore named same as
last year. Messrs. E. Floody, Thos.
Johnston; W. 1. I. Cooper and. Goo.
Bay were appointed. 1). 0. R's.—A
proposition from , David Graham,
endorsed by Messrs. Ferran, R. M.
Racey, R. Irwin, \V. Doherty,
Geo. E. Pay, 0. S. Doane and
others, was submitted to the Coun-
cil. Mr. Graham asks for a loan of
$7,000, without . interest, for ten
years. $1,000 to be repaid after 3
years and $1,000 annually for the
seven following years. Iu consid-
eration of which Inc agrees to em-
ploy 30 hands for 11 months in the
year during the currency of. the
loan, and expend $3,000 for new
woolen mill machinery mud for
apparatus to furnish electric light
for power and lighting purposes. A
first mortgage on the property
'mown as the Clinton Woolen Mills
to be given as security for repayment
of loan. It being intimated that
any ratepayer world be heard in
the matter, \Ii•. Perrin took the
floor. HIe was opposed to the elec-
tric light business. The security
offered for $7,000 would not be
sufficient. leo would favor, and he
thought the people of the town
would favor,a loan of $5,000 for tett
years, a large moiety of it to bo ex-
pended on improved machinery for
the woolen mill. Mr. Manning was
tho only councillor prepared to give
his views on the subject. As the
application was endorsed by some
of the largest ratepayers in town it
deserved consideration by the Coun-
cil. A by-law could not bo sub-
mitted, passed and'ratified by the
prosert Council. IIe would favor
it being voted on at the coming
municipal elections and if the peo-
ple approved, a by-law could_ be
afterward submitted. He therefore
moved, seconded by Cooper, that
the matter be referred to Finance
Committee and recommend that an
informal vote ho taken at January
elections; if not that it bo loft with
the Council of 1888 to deal with.—
On Motion of Doherty and Kennedy
the collector's roll was extended to measured on the cord measure."—

gladden the heart of every true son
of Canada to note these practical
evidences of the foresight of Cana-
dian rulers and the energy of the C.

largest and most productive, unset-
tled land area on the North Ameri-
can continent, if not in the world,

generous terms. See what it can
produce. Yesterday we ihad a call
