TO OUR PATRONS..
A pertinent piece of advice en the
'columns of a late trade journal, ran
thus:---}Iowever hard you may have
worked durit% 1889, resolve to do a
little better in 1890. It is nota diffi-
cult matter to see when better and
more work might have been done if
one cares to scrutinize closely, even
though the vision be defective end pov-
erty to great to purchase a pair of
specks. We have noticed a few weak
spots in ourselves and inspired by the
above bit of advice, resolved to adopt it
as oue of our rules for 3.890 and faith-
fully observe it for at least a week.

A school teacher says that those who
have access to newspapers at home,

ledge of geography in ahnost:half the
time it requires others. The newspaper
is decidedly an important factor in mod-
ern life.
One-third of the fools of the country

The 5srti Heron.
The annual report of the Department
of Militia has been distributed. In
the report of Lieut. Col. Smith, for Mil-
itary District No. 1, the strength of the
83rd Batt. in camp last year is put at
29 officers and 866 men, these figures
being exceeded in that camp only by
the 30th Wellington Rifles. The fol-
fowing special mention is of particular
interest. "The Infantry regiments
turned out fairly well; but in many
cases the physique was defective. The
300, under Lieut: Colonel Clarke, and
the 38rd,under Lieut. -Colonel Coleman,
were relatively the best Infantry corps
both as to •numbers and as to physique.
This superiority is, to a great extent,
accounted for when it is stated diet the
counties from which they are respect-
ively drawn, Wellington and Huron,
make an allowance of 25 cents a day
to each officer, N. C. 0. and man, in ad-
dition to the Government pay, This
local. aid I entirely disapprove of, on
principle; yet these examples show
what may be done by means of a little
additional money."
Arrested.
The Clinton News -Record of last week
says: R. M. Racey,foriuerly of this town,
was arrested in Geneva, Ohio, last Sat-

was rumored that he would be brought
here on the Monday meriting train,aud
an unusual dumber of persons were at
the station in consequence. Fut he did
not arrive and is still in Ohio. His case
will cone before the court there on
Thursday, when it will be probably be
determined whether there is stfficient
evidence to warrant his being extra-
