James Shepherd, . many years ago. When going over the ef- fects in the house Miss Shepherd came across a e uple' of relicts of the printing art Which she handed to us. •. One is a little hand bill, "Print= eda t i no N ils and Cox'sB o0 and nd Job Office, Market Square, Godexr ch." and dated 1856. It gives a list of "Joiners' Prices," which • seem to' have been arrived at at "a meeting held in Mr. Meddaugh's Hotel, Clin- ton, on Saturday evening, Feb. 16th, 1856 for the purpose of regulating wages and prices for the summer of 1956." It was the day of piece' work and prices are given for each job. money was reckoned hi pounds, shil- lings and pence. 1v1`alcing a four - panel door•cost twelve and six; build- ing stairs, per step, with hand rail- ing, was set at eight and ninepence; pine flooring, tongued, grooved and laid, Was 'set at -twelve and six per •squeer, ash, square rola*, at fifteen' shillings; wages'of best workmen'per day; ten shillings. The names at- tached 'to this schedule of prices were: Henry S. Lines, ' Wm. Little, Thomas R. Plummuer, Alex. Campbell, S. G. Plummer, Geo. Urquhart and James McDonald. The other appears to a reprint of a letter published in The Clinton New Fra and is dated Aug. 31st, 1869. Evidently there had been something in the way of a ,public vote on some civic smatter the previous week. The following is the letter: To the Editor of the Clinton New Era Sir, -I remember reading an an- cient, chronicle, and the event des- cribed inone of the chapters so clos- ely resembled the occurrence of the past week in this plane that I send you the extract, thinking it may be instructive, showinghow the same things aro repeatedin this world, and that man, is much the same every- where, and in all ages,—:'And in those days many of the men in that city increased hi riches, and those that dwelt 'in the .principal street leading towards the north did build themselves houses of brick, instead of houses of wood, such as their fath- er's had lived in, and they were the merchants who traded in sugar and spices, and wines. and spirits. in lin- en and silks, and drugs, and glass, and iron, and brass, and tin. And they were exceedingly jealous withal that no other man who was a stranger should come and dwell in their street, saying, that is the street wherein' the men who dwell in the country, who being rich in cattle and sheep and corn, and wheat, and butter, and cheese and kine should come and buy and sell. And• it came to pass that the plot of ground the inheritance of Tughard, a cunning workman in wood and iron, became vacant, by reason of his moving towards the south, and the men in the street leading to the north said, let us contrive so that no man which is a stranger may come in and build him a house of brick like unto ours, and -buy and sell therein. And they worked wildly, and took counsel with the fathers and rulers of the city, and said, let us take of the moneythe eas r u. y •of Ti u y and buy the inheritance of Tughard,-and build thereon a market house, wherein all that come into the city to sell may resort, and the fathers unwisely con- sented to .pay four thousand two hun- dred shekels of silver for the land, although double the value at the cur- rent price of the day. And the other men of the city rose up and said, we will not have the land, why should, we, our wives and children toil to pay money into -the Treasury, that those men who dwell in brick houses may spend it for their advantage, and the contention on both sides were very. great; wherefore the fatherssaid, do as the King hath commanded, name a day, and let every man give his name, who is for the purchase of the land, and who is not. And on the day appointed there was mob commo- tion in the city,many running to and fro, giving of strong drink, and us ing evil 'devices to persuade men to. vote for the buying of the land, and even the man Tughard himself voted for the purchase of the land, for he coveted the shekels. On the day following; Haylo, the scribe, stood, up and proclaimed aloud that some of the men' in the street leading towards the north had acted contrary to the Ding's command, by paying monies to ' certain men to go away from the ity, and not to vote against the purchase of the land, and a merchant asked who? who will stop the mouth. of I•laylo, the scribe, and make him say that he hath spoken of us as though we were men of Belial, and one answered, I will make Hoyle, the scribe say that he hath spoken falsely. And he took "a strip of the hide of a cow, .twisted and dried, which he had under his mantle, and went to the house of Bayle New Haylo was short of stature, and small. withal whereas the man with the twisted hide of the cow wast all and tont, nevertheless ,vertheless he forcibly seized' hold of his .vestment,, saying, deny the 'rorde then hast said, or I will ehas- tise thee, Haylo feared not, but look - ng straight et the man. asked him, Aid not thy brother pay fifteen• their - Is of silver to the On of Wrenchall Vel to drive away in his chariot, and not vote against the buying of the land? But the man would .not •answer him., therefore, Haylo said, 'I know not, but if thy brother did that thing he hath broken the King's law, where upon the man knowing. in his heart that ng the eit th • had d b ee n done, let go his hold and went liis way. After this, the fathers and rulers of the eity seeing that they had acted wrong in following the evil counsel of the merchant's in the street' leading. to the north,' refused to pay the four thousand two„hundred shekels out of the Treasury, so the, rest of the peo- ple of the city were content, and af- ter this there was peace.” • Should' any of your readers doubt the correctness of the above extract let himc go to the i Library of the Ire Br' - y m tish Museum, ask for Hist. et leges de urbis Clinstoniensis Lib.

A HAPPY BIRTHU'AY A very interesting event took plate on Sunday last at the home of AM. Annie Parker, when she entertained in -honour of her aunt, Mrs. Dods - worth, a one-time resident of Clin- ton. It was ,t"he occasion of Mrs. Dodsworth's eighty-eighth birthday and she was the .recipient' of many handsome presents. Among those present was her only surviving sis- ter, Mils. Emma Gordon, of Kitchen- er, also twenty-five nieces and neph- ews from Kitchener, Stratford, Luck - now and Clinton.

SATURDAY THRESHIbTG DAY T. H. Cook of Clinton doesn't stook thresh. He hauls his grain into the barn and what the barn will not hold he builds into a stack and, although -The News -Record office is pretty well to the centre of a long-estab- lished town, each year we have the fun of watching a threshing being done, as the engine is set in the va- cant hat opposite the office'\'and at the rear of the Cook barn. The event attracts quite a number of specta- tors, some of whom, no doubt, find in it a reminder of their earlier days on the farm. Saturday was thresh- ing day in .Clinton, but the dwellers on Rattenbury street do not seem to ,take much fun out of the oceurance, especially if the wind carries the dust that way, as it did Saturday. RECEPTION FOR BRIDE DO ' THEY BRING LUCK ? Mr. Harr o p Y Ford brought into .Th'" a News -Record office yesterday more - ing a handful of clover, which he and - Mr. F. Mulholland bad picked from e a lan • onthe t King's `Highway psn g ea n he ld 1 u holland fat " $ m, west of Hgl- mesville. Nothing very wonderful Ma: about that, . m a , you say! Well, perhaps - not, but in this handful were thirty e six four, eighteen five, and: one six leafed steins. That's more four- - leafed clovers than the editor' of this . ,paper ever saw before, whether ' it will 'bring good luck or •bad. A lady caller afterwards said the fives,were unlucky finds,' but we do not go much on signs.
