He was a native of Bedfordshire, England, but came to Clinton in 1850 and continued a resident until he entered. the House of Refug.e five years ago.

A numbar of witnesses were ex- amined and much diversified evi- dence deduced. Judgement was given in favor of plaintiff forfull amount of claim. A majority of the minor muni cipalities in Huron connty have asked the eonnty council to submit a bylaw changing the composition of the county council, as provided by', the Ontario Statutes of 1904. If a majority of the voters desire the change, the county council will thereafter be composed of the reeves of villages and. townships and. the mayors of towns. .As provided by the statute, the vote will not be taken until January, 1906, and the change, if the bylaw be carried, will not take effect until 1907', thus leaving a full term of two years for the'council which will be elected next January. The municipalities which have filed the necessary resolutions with the county clerk are the town of Wingliam, the vil- lages of Blyth and Exeter, and Lie townships of Turnberry, Tucker- Hullett, MolCillop, Usborne, Grey, Ashfield, East- and. West Wawanosh, Colborne, Howick and zforri,-F-liftQen municipalities out of twenty-six in the county.

Once 1 was young, but now I am old., and I never saw a girl who went back on her mother that ever came to be worth a one -eyed button to her husband. It is the law of God. It is not exactly in. the bible, but it is written largely and law. fully on the lives of misfit homes. If any one of yon chaps run across a girl with her face full of roses, who says to you when you come to the door, "I cannot go for 30 min- utes,for the dishes are not washed," you just wait for that girl. Sit right down on the doorstep and wait for her, for fear some other fellow will come along and carry her off, and then you lose an angel. Wait for her and stick to her like a burr to a, mule's tail," Born.
