As our to.wn council are averse to increasing/the rate of taxation, and with diminished revenue likely to result from loss of license money and decrease in value of hotel property, their financing wil l be put to *a severe 'test, we. do not think they will like*, ly engage in any improvements other .than those Ml(^.dy, contemplated, pr imperatively demanded by. the im­ mediately- pressing wants of the town. This being conceded, hqw- would it do-for the council to have engineer Proudfoot get- up plans for a market”house and call-for tender^ for. the.ereqtiqn of the same. The- builder- tO ’be-recouped'-fQr his Outlay by market fees to be fixed by the council, and the weigh fees, for a cer tain period. The necessity< for„ a market house has often been all tided to.. As it is there is"no public place to shelter vendors of farmer’s pro­ duce .from, blinding srioiv1 storms? drenching rai.u.-falls or the scorching rays of the sun. The benefits .to buy­ er and seller would- be . considerable were there: a market building and fixed .market, days so that both could be brought together with, mutual advantage. The .building 'fieed jnoc necessarily tie "an expenSive^fi^. Un^ • do not app\ovvi of farming out the”, fees or cannot agree with any ot' our local capitalists as to conditions, on, which thev would erect .a building, or would prefer having no fees, then they should give their weighty con­ sideration in ah .endeavor to devise ■ spnie way tt.f providing this necess^ ary accomodation; “ Terrace Building.—Last week ■Wejna’de hrief reference to the num-, ber'pf. excellent private..residences and lq»ild>,1gs business purposes which were' built id Clinton last, year..: The erection of quite a hum- . her of wildings in both -lines -the coming summer ‘ are also contem­ plated' as we mentioned; Our local, coteui. has „got wind of something jiew.

By "all means’ leu" us have a “terrace.” A pair of them might be' likened to luqgs for the town. We are in duubt though as to whether that is the kind of terrft.ee Mr. Oantelon, mason, has in view.;. A "terrace is V*1^O a balcony or open gallery around a building, supported by pillars. This sort of a ^terrace 'liiight 7a|sb be ati“ excellent property to ircut. What though’it would not screen one from the chilly blasts of winter. The object o^ building this sort of ter, race would only be for the purpose of securing summer tenants. ; With portions of it* nicely ornamented with lattice work formed into fan t as tic designs, and decorated with growing flowers from the natural conservatory of horticulturist Allaii- bou, it could, be made a thing of beauty and a summer joy, a sort of 'a lover's larfb iu fact, where love lord maids and youths could wjiiita per sweet nothings in a situation and with such aesthetie surrouud- ingsas would sepd Ocar Wild into raptures of lotigshaired' estftctic bliss* Yes, now that tlie idea has been suggested, we must'have the too long neglected terrace.

On Tuesday of last week Mr. Aikens, at one time a resident of the 2nd con, this township", was found frozen to deqj>h on the road opposite the residence of Mr. VV. Mc.Miohael. Deceased had been living inriSgmond* vilie lately and had been to Kinjburn with a load o>f fish, and was returning home Monday night The highway was drilled so as to be impassible at the point where Mr» Aikens was found, and sleigh driyers had broken a road ’ through the field at. this point. It is. surmised that deceased, in tfie dark*- ness of night, had not observed the1 impftssSlble snow drift in the road and.. allowed hid hrirse to pluuge Into it' instead of turning hitn off into the, field road. w The' horse got stuck in the drift ahd Mr» Aikens got :out of the sleigh\to release hitn but hqing numbed with cold cOuld not do so and fell down where he was found dead; Tbe horse remained, in the snow batik all night. He was said to have been an industrious man. Tho renhains were Hurled In Clinton cemetery Friday last, • -Belgrave??--.' ' ", ■ .. Mr. Ullas., McClellan, , merchant .of the place has just returned from a visit to‘Halton. • In the-town "bf Milton, which,, used’ to be a lively place,, he found \t very dull indeed. lie tried to get a square nieal at the I so-called tempei-ance houses but failed, had to fall battle upon an. old friend for a solid meal. , Tb.e station master at'Milton fbrnierly occupied a similar position at Brussels, arid he says there is more whisky shipped-,to Milton now in one month, than •lie ever .knew:to be shipped to Brus­ sels in three months. Tliei'V appears " to be.as much whisky consumed in Milton as formerly. It is-to. be had' in nearly"every house, and even on the streets, but the good table accom-, modation that formerly was the pride of^the plaee is now no more to be- found. ‘ ?.

General Gordon Nixon is ‘’' still alive, rumors to the contrary not-, withstanding. He still holds the fort._ Mij.fidi McKinnon threatens to bring •a reinforcement of bashi-bazouk bail­ iffs and make it hot- for him if ho .doesn’t capitulate. The General. . breathes defiance and will hold out as long as there is a stick of wood or . piece-of timber about the premises and an outlet for the smoko. The last despatch received "from him was ingeniously conveyed to his syffipath4 ising friends outside the fort. The General inhis yoiingerdayshad often shied stones through a hollow log, first getting someone to'put his hand at the opposite encl to toll if it tame through. It. generally' did ' crime through as the “pthor fellow’s” bruis­ ed hand bore witness to. Well, tjjie General unshipp’d his stove-'pipe which projects through the window, tolled his despatch around a frozen- potato and chucked-it through the stove pipe outside,; beyond the en» emy's lines. It gives a horrible ac* count of affairs within the /fort. The General-was down to the .last squatri inch of the pigskin covering of an old , -saddle;./So long Rs he Had’plenty qf water the pigskin Inado fairly good 1 hash on stew, as the case might be, ... but water is getting scarce, all he can ■ get now is what is coridonsed from the , warm air.blowing in the opening in the window,'andj condensing along'.’ the Cold pipo drops into a receptacle placed to catch it, The General's quartets must be pretty .cold when the outBicle ,ait at 20 below zriro'is warmer than the temperature of his’ rdom«* A few days will toll whether^ ,.the Mahdi’s bashi-bazouks will com* General Gordon Nixon to o$p- ’ itulato or not. ’ 1 I’M? mu 1'1 V J AiUAX —ETC., AT— TWITCH ELL’S.
