Councillor Adam Thompson is at pres.

'While leading a bores into the livery

The residenoe of Ches. Stewart, HHeve-

About 8 o'clock a small blaze was dis-

however.
On Saturday, Jan. 23rd, Jas. Hughes,
of Culross, en old man of ahnoet 80 years
of age, was working alone in the barn,
where he was subsequently found lying
on the floor of the basement dead. It is
supposed he was taking corn from the
mow above the granary and in some way
or other slipped, falling through the trap
door in the floor, a distance of 15 feet.
From the appearance of the body when
found, death seemed to have been in.

A'rrmiaTED BoonEEY.—Sone time. Sat-
urday night, Jan. 23rd, an attempt was
made to enter the butcher shop of Ford
to Murphy, three panes of glass being
broken in a rear window, and attempts
to raise it being quite evident. Aa there
was no snow carried into the premises,
the assumption is that the would•be thief
was not successful.
CLOSE ENoucs,—The other day as a
heifer was being driven along the street,
it became excited and made a bolt to get
away. In doing so it ran on the side-
walk in front of Gilroy it Wiseman's
store, slipped down on its knees end then
slid up to the plate gloss until its head
bent the pane. Had it not fallen it most
certainly would have gone clean through
the window.
Hoven os REFUGE CD ser oto.—Ever
since the opening of the House of Refuge
the clergymen of Clinton have taken
terns in conducting religious services at
the House on Sunday. The work has
been done ungt•udglogly, rain or shine,
and tbs clergymen hove either bad to
walk out to the House or find their own
conveyance, a thing it should not have
been necessary for them to do. As some
of the Clergymen are also interested per-
sonally in Sabbath school work, it has
been felt by them that they should be re -
Saved of the House of Refuge duties, and
at n meeting on Friday they unanimous-
ly decided to ask the County Council to
appoint Rev. W. Newcombe as ohaplain,
ata trifling salary that would simply de-
fray his livery expenses. In case any of
the inmates should desire the services of
a particular pastor, they would be at
their disposal. N.sowing something of
the situation, we think the Council
should act upon the suggestion of these
reverend gentlemen, as it is hardly fair
to expect them to continue services at
much personal inconvenience.

FINE: On Friday evening, Jan, 92nd,
about 7 o'olook a fire broke out in the
large warehouse occupied by Harper tI

warehouse by one of the employees. 11.
W,11IoKenzie'e gunpowder was stored in
the same building, but ae soon as the fire
broke out it was removed to a safe place.
The hose was laid from the hydrant at
Goode's corner, and for some time the
water was all thrown from that quarter,
but about 7:20 one branch was laid from
Sharman's corner, around behind Smith's
bakery, and played on the roof from the
east. The &re was speedily got under
Control in the warehouse proper, bat the
side of the roof still continued burning.
There was a doable roof on the building—
one having been built at a late period
over the original—and the fire got be-
tween them, so that the water could not
resoh it for some time. By directing the
water under the eaves and through a hole
in the roof, the fire was put out. If the
block had caught fire, nothing Could have
saved it, as the wind was blowing a gale.

NEED OF SPELLING REFORM.
English spelling is remarkable for its

is spelled "phthisis" the voice of the
spelling reformer in the land.
Mr. Turner, in the following incident,
in view of the present method of spat.
ling, was entirely consistent :
Dobbs met his friend 'Turner on the
train. They were both going to London
and slopped at the same hotel. Turner
registered his name "E. ii. PbObologn-
yrrb."
Dobbs noticing it, exclaimed :
"Hero, what are you assuming such a
foreign name for ? Are you in any
trouble ?"
"Not a bit of it," replied Turner, "end
I am not assuming any foreign name."
"What kind of a name is that ?" do.
mended Dobbs.
"Twat is my identical old name," per-
sisted Turner, "and it is English, too—
pronounced plainly Turner."
"I can't see how you can make Turner
out of those 13 letters ; besides, what is
your object in spelling it that way," ask-
ed Dobbs.
"Well, you sen, nobody ever noticed
my name on the register when I wrote it
Turner," explained the latter, but since
I oommenoed writing it "Phthologhyrrh"
I set them all guessing. They wonder
what nation I am from ; what my name
is. I can now bear people talk about me
all around. It is, as I said before, Eng-
lish spelling. 'nth,' there is the sound
of "t" in phthisis,' 'olo' there is the 'ur'
in 'colonel' ; 'gn,' there is the 'n' in 'gnat'
yrrh,'is the Bound of 'er' in 'myrrh:
Now if that Doesn't spell 'Turner,' what
does it spell ?"
