lysis, which was discussed fully, an Dr.
Worthington reported a. peculiar case of
puerplial fever befoie miscarriage. The
meeting altogether was a most successful
one and very instruetiye. Theinterchange
of ideas on'such occasions is never with-
out benefitting those presentancl,of course
as a consequence the sick and afflicted.
The next meeting of the association will
take place at f0eaforth early in July.
BVISINESS CIIANCIES..—Mr Evans, of
Hensel( has bought out the baking busi-

Ayr, has bought the Union Shaving Per-
im from Mr John Farquharson, and will
continue the same; Mr Farquharson in-
tends leaving in a few days for Denver,
Oolorado, for the benefit of his health.
PROSPERINCL—The Winnipeg Sun re-
fers to a former Clintonian, who bas evi-
dently grown wealthy during his sojourn
in the Prairie City. It says :—"Mr A.C.
Macpherson; wholesale fruit merchant of
this city, has purchased the property now
occupied by Messrs Sloan k Wallis, as a
restaurant, situated on the east side of
M. in street, directly opposite the city
ball. Mr Macpherson intends removing

wn RAILWAY NoTEs.—Monday was pay-
day along this section, and the men were
happy accordingly. A few days since a
loory house on the L. H. & B., near Mr
McAllister's, caught fire and burned
.down with its contents, before the section
men could get over to it. The loss will
be about $100. The'Standard Elevator is
sending out a quantity of wheatthis week.
About $300 were this week paid here in
customs duties on the single article o
coal ; most ef it was for panties at
Sea -
forth.
A FORMER CLINTONTA,N.—A Strathroy
paper of last week says :—" After a short
illness from inflammation of the lungs
-' Mr. George I.Trquhart, sr., carpenter, died
at the age of 70 ye." rs. Deceased was a
native of Rosshi re, Scotland, and was born
in 1817 ; emigrated to Canada in 1853,
settling in Clinton, Huron county, and
came to Strathroy in 1872. fie was the
father 01 nineteen children, ten of whom
are living, two by his first wife, eight by
' bis present widow. Mr. Urquhart was

TOWN ASSE8SNIENT.--::-The — assessors,
Messrs. Stevens and Menzies, having
completed their..work, hand in the fol-
lowing comparative statement, this year
and last, by which it will be seen that
" there is a material increase all round :-

the following remarks concerning those
made in this town. "The Doherty Organs
possess very clear and sweet topes, and
also possess highly satisfactory action."—
F. A. Cassidy, Methodist mission-
ary at Shedzouks, Japan, writes to the
Christian Guardian that the chapel
organ sent out for this church is a fine
• instrument, manufactured by Doherty &
• Co.,Clinton, Ont., and is, indeed, a great
• blessing to OUT work here."
• SALVATION ARMY NOTES.—Capt. Coffin
is the officer in consmand here now ; she
is a good speaker. Staff-Sergt. Glover,
thi istri et-, - farewell ed -o
Wednesday night. Some .of, the rowdy
' element about town acted in the most dis
graceful manner, at the barracks, on Sun-
day night, smashing windows and other-
• , wise misbehaving themselves, notwith-
standing the polite request of the captain
that they would be quiet ; it would be a
salutary lesson if some of the parties•guilty
of these things wehe put in the lock-up
for twenty-four hours, as the imposition
• -of a fine falls on their parents instead of
''on them -guilty of wrong -doing.
SboTT ACT CASES.—At Seafortb, On
Friday last, Messrs' Stephen, Kennedy
. and Carroll were tried before Messrs.
1Vanless andGovenloci, J. Pa., on infor-
mation laid by Mr. Sprague , for violation
of the Scott Act, and were fined $50 and
costs; Mr, Scott, Clititon,appeared for the
prosecution,' and Hastings, Seaforth, for
,fiefence. At the same place on Tuesday,
Messrs. Simpson and Weir, hotel -keepers,
and J. Killoran, store -keeper, were each
fined $50 and costs for violation of the
• •• act. A.eBlyth, on Friday, On information

three cases more came pp at Blyth to -day.
At Goderich,on Moeday, Me-a-srs. McBride
Martin and Cox were each 'fined $50 and
_coste for infraction of the act.
"- -TEMFFII ANai The Artoral suasion
Phase of- the temperance movement is re-
.
ceiving tim impetus in various places from
the special efforts-orthe Rev. W. Burgess,
who was- a prominent advocate of the Scott
Actduring its campaign. Mr. Burgess'
methods are attractive and inviting. He
is aided by a small band of singers, and
• his meetings are made extremely pleasant.
He is to spend a few days in Clinton and
will address meetings in the Various
churches, commencing with the Ratten-
bury 8t. Methodist church, on the 25th,
and following up the other evenings of
the week in the other churches in rotation.
Speaking of his meetings in Stratford re-
cently, the Beacon says :—" ILIA singing
of the two is evidently one of the chief at-
tractions,,led as it is by Mr. Burgess him-
self, who throws into it a great amount of
enthusiasm, until the entire audience
catch the inflection and sing the choruses
with delight."
MEDICAL AssocrATI0>.7.—The Huron
Medical Association met in the council
chamber, Clinton, on Tuesday, 19th inst.,
and unexpeetedly turned out to be a very
interesting meeting. There were present,
Drs. Smith, McKid and Evans, Seafortb;
Dr. Graham, truseels.• Pres., Dr. Taylor,
Goderich ; Dr. Chisholm, Wingham ; Dr.
McKenzie, Belgrave ; Drs., Williams and
Worthington, Clinton. ' A very interest-
ing case af: progressive musegilar atrophy
Or wasting of fill tha- muscles ofthe frame)
was presented by Dr. Graham. Dr, Mc-
ICenzie, reported an interesting ease of
chroni0 rheumatism of the joints -a- Dr,
will be cnnstructed so as to be strictly
frost proof. The .price paid for this pro-
perty was $8,000 cash. We understand
that an offer at an advance was made
immediately after.it was purchased."
THE POLICE MAGISTRACY. —It is said
that Mr.C. Seager, Goderich,R.C. Collins,
Exeter, Thos Strachan, Grey, and G.
McKay, of Wingham, are all applicants
for the position of Police Magistrate,
There may be other parties in the field,
but so far these are.the names that are
spoken of "officially!' Any of these are
no doubt qualified for the position, and
will fill it .witb credit. mid satisfaction. A
number of the friends of Dr Williams,
Mayor of this towu, think, however, that
be would make as good a magistrate as
any of the others, and propose to petition
for his appointment. . We do not know
the doctor's mind upon the matter, but
we are satisfied' he would be acceptable to
A. very large portion of the community,
and would be much pleased to see • him
receive the appointirient ; or, if the gov-
ernment are determingd to appoint a legal
gentleman to the pesaion, they could
not do better than re -appoint Mr James
Scott, ofthis town, who we can say with-
out any •reflection on the other persons
named, is better posted in the technicali-
ties of the Scott Act than any person in
the county.
BRIEFS—Mr J. W. Cook, V. S ,intends
to move io Indiana for the practice of his
profession. Mr Henry Stevens, builder,
will sell his household furniture to -morrow
afternoon, as he intende to give up house-
keeping, Mr H. B. Ker left on Monday

siding ; his family remain here • until he
gets settled. Mrs Morrow, of Goderich,

air of Goderich does not agree with her.

year, even though he bad ordered brick,
owing Lo some difficulty concerning the
unexpired leases of the present occu-
pants of the property. Master Frcd
Davis, (son of Mr S. Davis,) had the 'els-

senting the Toronto Glebe,has been work-
ing up this section ; he states that a very
large increase in its circulation has taken
place as the result, of its enterprise in run-

a tenant. Mr W. G. Potts, express

apparently, the better appreciated of the
two, encores being repeatedly called • for.
