Baldwin, of this town. The news is indeed sad to her father and brother as -they were not aware of her illness. Deceased was a most highly esteemed young lady and was scarcely in the prime of womanhood, being but 21 years of age. Besides her father and brother here, she leaves to mourn her loss a husband and infant child, who will have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. • Mr NICIPAL ASSOCIATION.—At a , meeting of town and township clerks of Huron, held in Clinton on Friday last, - an association of the Clerks of Huron was or- ganised; with County Cleric Lane as Presi- dent, and W. Coates, town clerk of Clinton, 'as Secretary. The meetings of the Associa- -time which has heen,formed for the purpos- es of mutual improvement and the better performance of municipal duties, will be held annually at Clinton, foliose -Mg the June County Council.

Hastings ceunty,, are the Lest in the Province. -Generally speaking, he found that lcouneils and municipalities are considering the purchase of road Ma- chinery, and are deterrnined to adopt a system by whieh the• expenditure can be concentrated and the work permanently made."

How- ever, there is no use crying over spilled milk,aand the best must now be made of it. It is a satisfaction, at any rate, to see these unfortunate old people so comfortably pro- vided for, and inclined one to overlook the onsightlyness of "the bnildinglieself. .

It is only a few weeks since_ we referred to a bur- . g wry at the residence of Mr. James Beattie. VI e have now another something similar to record. On Sunday night last some peisons ehtered the residenae of Mr. Wm. Bristou, William street, while Mr. and Mrs. Bristol', were out._ They gained admission by pry- ing open a bed room window, and ' in doing so broke one of the panes. On getting into the house they ransacked all the drawers, turning their contents upside doWD, and carried Off a purse containing two dollars and a half, which was in the drawer of the sewihg machine. It was, evidently, .money they were after, as in one of ' the drawers which they opened were several artieles of jewelry and silverware, which they had evidently not interfered with, as none of these Articles were missing. They took their exit by the front door, which Was t looked inside, and left it open ehind them. Fortunately Mr. Bristou had aken about forty dollars in his pocket with him, al -- though he usually leaves all his money in the house in one of the draweis, which had been broken open and ransacked, but hav- ing departed froM that practice this time, he is uow that much ahead. The &tors of the house were strewn with matches with which the burglars had ighted themselves through the house. It t ok plaoe some time between eight and ten o' lock. - • . THE HOUSE OF REF CE.—A few days ago we had the opportu ity of visiting the County House of Refug , not with a view to future residence, butai ply as a matter of curiosity, and to see ho things are getting along there. There are just now sixtysewo inmates. Of these sixteen are females. - The place Is a model of neatness, cleanliness and order, while the unfortunates confined therein seem to be remarkably comfortable and contented. Those of them who are able to work are generally kept busy at some kind of rnployment about the place,and they seem t be much better and more content- ed whe kept employed. The women sweep and dus , wash dishes, mend clothes, knit, and so n, and the men also attend to . yari- ous dut'es assigned them around the house, while others work oe the farm. Mt. French, the ov rseer, seems to., have ' the happy faculty IA keeping all usefully employed and at the same time securing. from all willing service, and he is quite proud of the quan- tity and quality of the products, and espec- ially vegetables, which he has raised on -the farm, notwithstanding that the land is bad- ly run out, and he has very little manure at his, disposal with . which to renew its fertility: Mrs. Freneh, also, seems to be equally efficient inside. When we say that the whole work of the institution is done by the inmates and without any hired help, save the assistant Matron, it may readily be jedged that there are competent heads to manage affairs. The building, however, though well enough arranged, has been wretchedly built, and exemplifies the folly of a penny wise arid pound foolish policy of trying to get a fifteen thousand dollar build- ing for ten thousand. The fact is, it should never have been taken off the contractor's hands and the architect should have been prosecuted. Workmen are now engaged in HUItoN MED CAL ASSOCIATION. —The - regular meeting of the Huron Medical Asseciation was 1 eld in the Council Cham- ber, Clinton, on Wednesday of last week, those present be g Drs.

Dr. ethune read a paper on the tape worm, with specimens; this - paper was equally instructive. Dr. Taylor gave a history and not4s of cases in Fact*, on .diptheria; this was a specially interest- ing paper because of his experience with ahe antatoxine treatment. The association ex- pressed the opinion that the Provincial goyernment amid have a. supply of anti- toxine at centers in different parts of the province,. so that it can be more readiay sec- ured than at present, the special value of this remedy being in its early application.

Miss' Wilson, of Clinton, gave them a very pleas- ant and instructive talk, to which the Sun - shiners gave, their bess attention. DIVISION Comm—Division court was held in Seaforth on Saturday last, Judge Doyle presiding. There was a tolerably large docket, some fourteen cases having been »disposed of, most of them being con- tested. The only one which created any special interest, however, was that of Logan & Co., vs. Baatliff and Strong. This was =- Action to recover the amount of a note made by Strong and Bartliff, and discounted at Logan's bank. Bartaiff denied having signed the note. The case was tried before a Jury. The facts as disclosed in evidence went to shoW that Bartaiff bad sigeed a note in blank for Strong, and that this note wae to be used to retire another note which Was outstanding against the two. Instead of being used in this way, however, the note was discounted at Logan's bank by Stropg, unknown to Bartliff, and the out- standing note was not taken up or renewed. This, evidently, confused Bartliff, and. led him to conclude that he had not signed a note its favor of the plaintiff, and that his signature which appeared on the note must, therefore, be a forgery. The jury, after a very short consideration gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount of the note. None of the other cases tried created any particular anterest, and consequently it will not be necessary for us to refer to them. • CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.—A special meet- ing of the Christian Endeavor society was held in the Presbyterian church on Tues- day evening last. The object of the meet- ing was to have a social evening in which all the members of the congregation might par- ticipate, and.to raise money for the mission- ary fund of the society. There was a good attendance and a eery pleasant meeting. - The chair was occupied by Mr. M. Y. Mc- Lean. - The proceedings were commenced by a song service by the Endeavor choir, which was very nice, and was duly appreciated by the audience. The main feaeure of the evening was, however, an address by Rev. H. McPherson, of Acton, formerly an as- sistant of Rev. Dr. McDonald, Seaforth. Mr. McPherson has lost none of his old time fluency, plainness and power of utter- ance, and, delivered a most excellent ad• dress, emphasizing the necessity for all ex- ercising their full powers in missionary and church worke. Mr. •IfePherson's many friends here wete pleased to- have another opportunity of me,eting with him and hear- ing hirri, and his address was listened to with much interest, and we have no doubt profit.' At the close of the address a minutes were given for social intercot which seemed to he fully availed of an joyed by all. The collection was very sat- isfactory,and no doubt' the Meeting will have a teridency to increase the interested the congregation in this most excellent so- ciety. Mr_ ISVCPherson left for his home in Acton on Wednesday. -• few rse, en - 6 LOCAL BRIEFS. —We are -sorry to learn that Mr. S.

U.—At the annual meeting of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, recently held, the fol- lowing officers were elected for the coming year : President. Mrsa.S. Bond ; lat, 2nd atal 3rd vice presidents, Mrs. M. B. Smith, Mrs. A. Stewart, Mrs. F. G. Neelin ; corre- sponding secretary, Mrs. W. D. Bright • re- cording secretary, Mrs. M. Y. McL'ean ; treasurer, Mrs. John Stewart. Besides the above officers, superintendents were ap- panted for each department of the society's work, such as : Band of Hope, Mrs. R. Lo- gan ; Sabbath observance, Mrs. E. McFaul ; Press, Mrs. Wm. Elliott and Miss M. le. McLean ; relief, Mrs. Kemp, etc. t will be seen that the society this year is equip- ped with an excellent staff of officers, who, will work faithfully and energetically in their several spheres. The work of the Union is entirely for the social and moral well being of the community, and th white ribboners should receive every possi le en- couragement from our citizens. The total -membership for the past year was only 23. 'This number should be doubled or trebled in the coming year. The membership fee is small and every woman who has at heart the promotion of temperance and morality should give the weight of her na,me and in- fluence to this society. The amount spent in relieving needy cases during the past year was $33.10. The treasury is now very lova and until membership fees come in the relief officers, have very little to work with. Meetings' are held semi-monthly at the Young Men's Christian Association rooms. The ladies of the Union have this year un- dertaken the supplying of reading matter for the reading room of the Young Men's Christian Association. , • Ashfield.
