Market HoCbe and MAlkist
Days.—Now that the building seas
on is approaching and some of our
capitalists are looking forward to in
vesting thriir Rp'ar<ff funds in that-line,
’ We might call attention to tl’e neces-'
sity for a market house in Clinton.
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. He says’if Air. Arthur Can-'
•telo’ti, mason, sells some property
4*fie intends- building a .terrace iii'
Clinton, to rent.” .Our citizens wili‘
hail with pleasure, .the adyent of the
“terrace in Clinton, to i'e.nt." But
what is a teirac.e anyhow I One
kind of terrace is .a'raised natural,
or artificial bank of earth, affording
a promenade. - A terrace bf that
kind would fill a long felt want.
As we have po public park such an
adjunct to the health and recreation
•producing- facilities- of . bur . town
would no doubt be warmly welcom
ed and highly prized by o«r hard-
working ' citixeus; affording as it
would,'if the sitp should lie chosen
in a suflicieudy secluded place away
from the din and bustle, and. sfilbko,

earth liitght be appreciated by some
of oUr .stal warts.. 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. But let
not the terrace business be overdone.
Don’t all go into supplying them at
once, although one can hardly have
too much bf a good thing, As ty*

causes bt death in the Province the

articulation ceased, and congestion
of the lungs proved fatal on Wednes

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

to have been an industrious man.

alive, rumors to the contrary not-,
withstanding. He still holds the fort._
Mij.fidi McKinnon threatens to bring
•a reinforcement of bashi-bazouk bail

.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
