LIQUOR CASES.—On information
laid by Inspector Paisley, Mr J. Kell..
ly, Blyth, and Mr J. Smith,"Clinton,
were up before Messrs McGarva and
Steep, en Wednesday, charged with
violation ofthe Crooks Act. The
ormer was fined $C0 and costs, and

ROW (INIONS DIFFER. — For
instance, atie Mr Doherty is spend-
ing thou ;ands on walnut and mahogr
any, vvii,h which to make organs,there
is a young man engaged in the finish-
ing roorr.k,of the factory, who can see
more beauty in a little hazzlewood
than in all the large trees in creation.
Mr Tbos. Holliodrake, one of the
oldest and most capable engineers on
the Buffalo.and Goderich Division of
the Grand Trunk Railway, has been
in Chicago for several days in consul-
tation -with .the engineers, having in
-hand the adjustment of -the C.11. -&-Q:
difficulty, Mr Hollindrake resides at
Brantford, Ont, and no man stands
higher in the estimation of his fellow-
men than does "Honest Tom:"—
Chicago British Atherican.
STILL BcoOMING. — A very sig-
nificant circumstance, showing the
popularity of the Doherty Organ
occured the other day, where no less
than three first class men, who have
been purchasing and handlingthe
Bell Organs transferred their services
unsolicitedto the sale of the Doherty
Organ. As they each handle quite a
'number of instruments, this change
on their part will increase about
three hundred the annual output of
the above organs.
-AN OFEG WINTEn.—Many people
are speaking of the openness of the
present, winter, or rather season, as
compared with former years. Al-
though the character of the present
season is certainly odd it is not with-
out precedents. The year 1873 was
open and generally fine ; and many
citizens remember easily the fine open
ifasio,f- len, when our grass plots
were RS green and fresh looking as in
the spring. From present appear -
armee, bowever, we are to have a
change shortly. The general opinion
is that the winter in the main will be
an open oue.
NEATLY TURNED.—At a public
athering recently were two speakers,
otb well known and with more or
esT
s humor in their nature. The first
one, cracking a -joke at the other's
expense, remarked that " his name,
appearing on the programme first,was
in line with the practice of a circus,
which brought in the lion first and
the monkey afterward." This brought
down the house, but when it came the
turn of the second individual to speak,
he neatly turned the laugh on his
predecessor by saying that " be was
quite willing to be the monkey, be-
cause thenther had natural ability to
do the lying (lion.)"
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Fo )T BALL
CLUB.—The club was organized on
Wednesday afternoon, Mr Turnbull
in the chair. The old Higk School
club was always hard to &at, and the
jpeesent students have the material
lin them for a good club. ' Much int-
erest is again being takewin the game
and after expressions of opinion, from
different members, the following of-
ficers were elected::HonPresiderd, Mr
Turnball; President, T. Agnew; Sec.
Tres.,John Ross; Captain, A. M.
Burchill ; Field Captain, John Coop-
er and Robert Agile* ; Committee of
Management, Messrs. Budge, Brown,
McCallum, Dowering and Thompson.
The field Captain's duty is to choose
sides to continue for a given time,
that the club may get into practice.
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE RE-OrEN-
tNG.—This Instituteopened on Mon-
day morning with the attendance of
the old pupils and the addition of a
large number of students, many of'
whom are ex -teachers from the East
Huron Inspectorate, and several from
West Huron. The excellent stand-
ing of the school as shown by the re-
sults of the Der artmental and Uni-
versity examinations, tge new build-
ings and their general equipment,
and the good name that has always
been attaehedito thin seat of learning,
have given a Provincial reputation to
the institution, and we learn that
students who have attended some of
the other larger Institutes of the
Province, have come here to continue
their studies, and already the roll
mounts to nearly 125. Classes now
are actively engaged in the Work re-
quired for Junior Matriculation,
Fjrst year examinations First 0, 2nd
and 3rd certifIcates. kr Hill, the

en hold of his work. Parents who

The grope receipts of the bazaar
held last month,under the auspices of
the Ladies of St. Paul's church,
amounted to $324, and the expenses
to 4, leaving a net balance of $240
for the benefit of the Improvement
Fund. These figures ehow 'what a
remarkable success the Tidies 'been -
made this their second bazaar, and
they deserve all the credit possible
for their hard work.
The Rev Mr Hannon, of Kincar-
dine met with another accident to
his foot the other day. In bathing
the eprained ankle a basin- of hot
„water -fell.over it, -scalding- the -foot
very severely. The Review says :—
" The reverend gentleman, however,
regards the mishap as possibly a
blessing in disguise,since now he will
have to give the sprained foot ample
rest; besides he sometimes thinks be
hot water bath will prove advanta-
geous after all."
The services in Rattenbury St.
el:torch, on Sunday lasttwere unusual-
ly interesting, and varied somewhat
from the regular order. In the morn-
ing a profitable sermon was preached
the words, "Is it well with thee,"
followed by a crisp fellowship meet-
ing. In the evening the sermon was
followed by duets, trios and solos,each
of these interspersed with prayer by
some member of the congregation,the
•service being unusually impressive.
Rev R. Y. Thomson, late of the
Manitoba College, Winnipeg, re --
turned from the Northwest ,a few
days ago. . He visited his father-in-
law, Deputy -Reeve Scott, of Hullett,
for a few days, and on Monday last
went to Toronto to enter on his duties
as one of the Professors of Knox Col-
lege. His many friends in Huron
will be pleased to know that his stay
on the Pacific Coast and at, Winnipeg
was very beneficial to his health, and
he feels now much stronger than when
he went there.
The Cotinty Sabbath School Assn
ciation holds its semi-annual conven-
tion in Clinton, on the 29th and 30th
inst., and the local committee, of
which Mr A.M. Burchill is Secretary,
are making arrangements therefor.
Hitherto it has been the custom to
move the sessions of the convention
around to the several churches in the
place where the convention is held,
but it has been decided not to do this
for the coming convention, and the
trustees of the Presbyterian church
have kindly granted the use of that
edifice for all the sessions: of the con-
vention.

RATTENBURY STREET S'ADBATH
ScstooL.-s-At the annual meeting of
the officer's and teacher, of Batten -
bury Street Methodist S. S., on Men -
day evening, Mr Horace Foster was
elected Superintendent in place of
Mr Thompson, who bas filled the
office for eleven years consecutively,
but finds that he cannot continue
therein, as he is so much away from
home. The new superintendent is
well qualified fgr the positien1. and
neatly acknowledged the honor con-
ferred upon him. A resolution -of
thanks to Mr Thompson, for his un.
flagging zeal and interestin the school,
and expressive of confidence in him
was unanimously passed. It was de-
cided to hold a Sabbath School An-
niversary on the second Sabbath in
February, and the Monday evening
following, services to be somewhat
similar to preceding anniversaries.
It was decided to introduce a new
hymn book into the school, to replace
the Dominion Hymnal, and a com-
mittee was appointed to make a suit-
able selection. The school is in a
very prosperout4 condition, haying an
average Sunday attendance of nearly
threeiundred, on one occasion their
being an attendance of 372 teachers
officers and scholars.

REDUCTION OF COUNCILLORS.—
Walkerton is moving to reduce the
number of councillors from three to
two for each ward. Three years ago
Kincardine made the mil:Make of re-
ducing the number, and it is gener-
ally conceded that it would be desir
able to retrace our steps in the matter.
'Kincardine Reporter.—[Not so, here.
The number was reducel from
three to two in Clinton, some time -
ago, and it would be easiev te persuade
the people to reduce the number still
further, than togo back to three in
each ward. es

This isthe season for a general squaring up of accounts,

sametime would like fi; receive what is due us. Money

a good many shrewd people just now who make their
purchases at this season on account :of the reduction
that can be offered.
