The Huron county council was in ses- sion at Goderich the first week in June. Among the important business done was a motion that the warden and treas- urer- advertise in the county papers the amount of sinlsdng fund on hand, for in- vestment. It was moved by Mr. Proudfoot, seconded by Mr. Britton, and carried, that the council of each municipality be requested to take a vote of the electors the' next municipal election as' whether or not a house of refuge be erected in the County of Huron. The caretaker of the Court House was authorized to hoist the flag on all loyal holidays, thanksgiving day, and during the sittings of the County Council. It was decided to dispense with the December session of the Council. The Finance Committee recommended that the following be the county rate levied for all purposes, 1 mill and 13-20ths. A motion to supply a copy of the Municipal World to each reeve and deputy, was lost. Each reeve and deputy are to be supplied with a copy of Consolidated Criminal law. The Equalization Committee reported having examined the various assess- ment rolls of the municipalities and re- commended that the equalized values be the same as last year, which was adopted after some discussion. It was moved that Hullett be reduced $1 an acre, but this was lost; a motion that three valuators be appointed to value the whole county was also lost. The following were the collections from non-resident lands for the four months of 1892: Ashfield, $45.17; Col - bourne, $507; Goderich, $8; Grey, $35.42; Hay, $85.88; Hullett, 66c;.3,1orris, $9.09; Stephen, $179.59; Turnberry, $268.94; East Wawanosh, $25.22; Bayfield, $9; Brussels, $9. The statutes provide that in a muni- cipality having bridges over 100 feet in length, the county may relieve such a municipality, on application of the councilthereof. The township of Morris, being so situated. made application to the county for assistance, and the special committee recommended that township furnish a list of bridges, and the amount spent on them during the past ten years, and when this informa- tion is obtained, the clerk is to corres- pond with the clerks of other munici- palities for the same information. RATHER BEHIND THE AGE.—Books and Notions, issued at Toronto, makes this reference to a - paper published not a hundred miles from C inton;—"In a cer- tain local weekly in Western Ontario may be seen an advertisement of a photographingfirm, which was dissolved some five or six years ago, but the ad- vertisement still remains like an Egyp- tian obelisk as a memento of the past. Truly the editor must not read his own . paper. Editors who would allow such a state of affairs in their paper cannot realize the duty they owe to their readers and their advertisers to always have all their advertisements fresh and crisp." In the same paper may be found a number of advertisements that are technically known as "dead" their term having expired some timer --Neuf Era.

A terrible murder was committed at Niagara Falls last Friday even'ng by a burley negro desperado. The negro got on the merry-go-round near the entrance of the Reservation park and refused to pay his fare. He was put off by Wm, Weaver, the attendant. The murderer then went to his lodgings and precured a revolver and said to two of his negro friends : "Come down and see me kill a white -- — — — 1 The two ne- groes followed their leader who, when he reached the merry-go-round, pulled the revolver out of his pocket and fired point blank into the passengers. The first shot struck Herbert Weaver over the left eye and ploughed a deep furrow across the forehead. The second shot struck Wm. Weaver. penetrating the heart, killing him instantly. The as- sassin then started to run firing his gun all the while, and the excitement he es- caped. _ Hon. C. H. Tupper is likely to remain in England at least three months.,.
