BRIEFS. — On Monday afternoon a
couple of girls, of very tender years, who
sere inclined to lead fast lives, apd bad
left their homes with that intention, were
arrested by Mr. Paisley, and spent several
hours in the lock-up, after which they
were allowed to go home ; it is hoped that
their brief commrttment had the effect of
changing their views of life. Mr. W.
M'bRrien, late of Hallett, started on Mon•
'-dsrti,r California, bus expects to lie aver
in Port Huron for a short time ; his

dustrious young man. Mr. and Mrs.

Tyndall,who recently rented the Colelough
farm; has commenced the milk business.
Mi. W,_...Downs,sof..Manch ester, _.hasping.
sold his -property there, intends to take up

county—Clin:on If there were a number
of houses • in. town to rent, they would
quickly find tenants in persons who wish
to move here. We understand that Mr.
Thomas Stanbury is about to retire from
business; he has been actively engaged in
business about as long' aa any men in the
town. We understand that Mr: W. Gregg
'intends to erect a couple of frame houses'
this year, and has let the contract to Mr.

make arrangements accordingly. Early

which"fortunately wes soon subdued, hut
not without considerable loss to stock and
building. Cadet Young, of the Army,has

wife of the lata H. McMullen, intends to
return to the home of her father at Belle-
ville. It is reported that the wife of Mr.
W. L. Newton, formerly of Clinton, is
dangerously ill at Goderich ; we hone the
report may turn nut, to be exaggerated.—
From the report of the Inspector of Asy-
lums for Ontario, we learn that during
1885, 13 persr•ns were sent from this coun-
ty to the Asylum for Insane, and alsothat
tbfre are 69 persons from Hurpn perman-
ently residing in London Asylum, 9 in
Toronto, and 7 in the Hamilton Asylum.
it is not to the credit of the town that the
sidewalk to the station has not been clean-
ed off before this; men may be willing to
trudge unconcernedly through a rot of
slush, but it is not very 'nice for ladies to
be compelled to do so. All Fool's Day
will be on Friday; Good Friday, on April
the 8th. Merchants are opening up their
spring gnarls. The Star says that Cox &
Co. have closed their bucket shop at God -

OUR NEW CONSTABLE.—No one, we
think, will feel disposed to take any ob-
jection to the, appointment by, the council
of Mr. Gee. Tedford, to the position so
long 'held by Mr. Paisley, as Chief Con-
stable. Among the applicants were several
swbo___would_have_ :acceptably filled .the
office, but the council, after.duly weigh-
ing the matter in committee, decided on
the appointment of Mr. Tedford. He is
-well-known to our citizens, bears a rept-
tation above reproach, and we feel satisfied
will do his utmost to discharge the duties
of his office without fear, favor or partiality.
'Ile at once enters on his works -sand we
believe.the townspeople will givehim any
assistance and encouragement, necessary
to strengthen his hands... • ' ••

Thursday afternoon last. Deceased had
not been -ill 'very long, having followed
his occupation as a clerk in thg store of
Cuninghame & McMurray up to a com-
paratively late date. His death is a par
ticularly•sad and to his mother, being the
second that has occurredwith a couple of
'months, and he being her mainstay. He
was a young man of a very kind disposi-
tion, as steady and indu-trious during his,
health as could be desired, and died happy
in the knowledge of divine acceptance
His funeral, on Saturday, notwithstand•
ing'the storm, was largely attended. A
married daughter is the only sole surviv-
ing child in thi•+ family, and the deepest

DEATH OF REV. DR. "FOWLER.—T110
Rev. Dr. Fowler, who has bet n.suffering
from illness for a long bine past, died on
Friday morning at his residence on Tal-
bot street London. The doctor was born
at Chester, England, in 1823. He first
served his time and passed Iris examina-
tion as an apothecary. IIe then studied
medicine and graduated with the degree
of M R C S. In turn the doctor gave up
medicine, joined the Methodist church

in 1853, and afterwards occupied many.
important posts in the Toronto Conference.
Some years ago the doctor came to the
London Conference, and was appointed to

to Clinton, thence to Listowel, and his
