FINES—Inspector Paisley laid com-
plaint against tour Wingham hotel
keepers last week, for violating the
Crooks Act on election day, and as
the complaint seas proven they each
paid a fine of $20 and costs.
PERHAPS TRUE. — The morning
atter the municipal elections Reeve
Moll/fumble, of Clinton, received the
following telegram :—"Blyth, Jan. 7,
1890.—The biggest Tory and the big-
gest Grit in Huron re-elected. P.
Kelly."
IN A NEW POSITION,—Mr A. H.
N. Jenkins, the former editor ot the
Brussels Budget, a paper that was a
disgrace to journalism while it lasted,
and which even Conservatives were
ashamed of, has undertaken the edi-
torial management of a new Reform
paper at St. Catharines.
GOING Up.—Will Tedford, former-
ly with Mr J. Robertson, and son of
Mr John Tedford, is making head-
way in the dry goods house he is em-
ployed with, at Buffalo. He has
only been there a short time, and has
already had two promotions, the other
day being advanced to the wholesale
department. Canadian boys usually
go ahead.
DESERVE IT ALL.—On Tuesday
next the Huron Presbytery will meet
at Seaforth ; a Sabbath "School Con-
vention will be held in the afternoon
and the Huron Medical Association
will also meet there on the same day.
Whether the combined efforts ot all
these good influences will be sufficient
to perceptibly improve the morals of
that benighted community is open to
doubt.
LOSS IN HORSEFLESH.—Mr Stew-
art McDougall sustained a heavy loss
last week by the death of his noted
stallion, Glengarry. This horse,with
several others, was imported some
years ago, and one after another bas
died, until the last and most valuable
one of the lot has died too. There
was no insurance on it, and the loss
will be pretty heavy. Messrs Wilson
Cox and J. Harrison, both living in
the same locality, each lost a horse
last week from unknown causes.
PEt ULIAR ACCIDENT.—Norman, a
young son of Rev Jas. Livingstone,
met with a painful and peculiar acci-
dent on Monday evening. The chil-
dren were playing around the kitch
en, where the tea kettle sat on the
stove, boiling. One of the children
playfully attempted to blow down
the spout of the kettle. Norman
thought to do likewise, but, instead
of blowing down, drew up, the result
being that he got a mouthful of
scalding water, and suffered consider-
able pain therefrom.
A GALE.—A violent gale prevailed
here all Sunday night and nearly all
day Monday, and locomotion on the
street was accompanied with consid-
erable discomfort during the day.
'In town considerable damage was
olne, windows, fences and trees being
blown down. The smoke stack on
the flax mill was thrown over, a
large windmill on Fair's farm was
blown down, a verandah on the house
occupied by Mr H. Hartt partially
destroyed, a barn on the old J. S.
Walker property flattened, and sun-
dry other damage. ' It is said that in
the country a number of barns were
unroofed.
How HE DID IT.—Oh Tuesday a
certain young fellow struck town
looking for work, which he failed to
get. ,Happening to learn of an old
acquaintance in town, who occupies
an exalted position, he called upon
him and spent the afternoon in his
company, during which time the
youth kept his friend (and another
who had dropped in) full of fun with
the recital of how he had "beat his
passage" from one place to another
on railway trains, and to convince
them of his ability to secrete himself
on a moving train, they accompanied
him to the railway station, where, as
the north train was moving away, he
climbed on the forward end of the
baggage car, and rode off as happyas
if seated in a Pulman.
BOARD OF TRAM—A meeting of
business men was held in the council
chamber, on Friday evening, for the
purpose of forming a Board of Trade.
Mayor Doherty occupied the chair,
and after the matter bad been dis-
cussed and ventilated by Messrs Man-
tling, McMurchie, Irwin Ranelord,
Scott, Searle W. Jackson and Holmes,
it was decided to form a Board of
Trade. Mr W. Jackson was peovi-
sionally elected President; W. S.
Swaffield, Secretary; and Messrs For-
rester, Rttneford, Manning, Pay and
Irwin a committee to draft a consti-
tution. A ratification meeting will
be held at the same place, to -night,
when it is hoped that there will be a
large attendance of all interested. —
lA farmer told us yesterday that he
understood a board of trade was a
combination of all business men
against the farmer. This is entirely
stray, as It is not a combination in
e sense in which they are generally
derstood. A board of trade is
ply for the purpose of looking
r the general interests of a place,
to promote the good of all.]

tion of Messrs. Doherty & Co., he
believes, to enlarge the factory at
Clinton, and continue to manufacture
organs as well as pianos, there. Mr
Sherlock enraged five mechanics
here last week and sent them to Clin-
ton.—London Free Press.
We omitted to mention a week or
two since that two beautiful carved
oak chairs have been placed in the
chancel of the Blyth English church,
the gift of Mrs Whitt, of Clinton, who
was for many years organist. The
congregation are to be congratulated
on receiving such a handsome present,
and it was a very generous act on the
part of the donor. They were pur-
chased from Mr J. C. Stevenson, who
also shipped some fine furniture to
Saltford and Ethel.
Miss Florence, daughter of Dr.
Washington, of Toronto, having re-
cently graduated in Whitby, and who

E., from the institution there, left on

School of Oratory, where she will
complete her studies as an elocution-
ist. Miss Washington's talents in
this direction are of a high order,
giving every promise of a successful
future. She is a relative of Mrs
Washington, of this town.
Speaking of the prevailing sickness
at Bowmanville, a correspondent thus
alludes to the daughter -of Mrs James
Stevens, of the base line :--"Typhoid
fever has also claimed one young wo-'
man, in the person of Maggie D. Nott,
daughter of the late' Rev. Henry J.
Nott, for many years editor of the
Methodist Observer in this town.—
She was engaged teaching in the
South ward public school, and was
much esteemed by a Iarge•circle of
acquaintances."
The London Free Press of Monday
said :—Conductor John Bailey's nu-
merous friends—and they are to be
found all over the country—will be
pleased to learn that the General
Manager has replaced him once more
on his old run from London to Wing -
ham and return. It seems some per -
Kon reported that, owing to age and
infirmity, he was unable to officiate
on busy days, and that a younger
man would be an advantage to the
road and the Company. Supt. Steph-
enson took a different view of the
matter, however, and after a personal
interview with Mr Bailey, restored
him to his former position. The first
to congratula'e him was Conductor
Snider, who was running on the
branch.
NOTES—There is considerable sick-
ness in town, of a mild form, colds
prevailing; a number who have been
sick claim that their ailment was the

nuine article. Sleigh makers say
there's snow profit in their business

slide their riga over to another season.

Manitoba, is here on a visit. Mr Jno
Cuninghame was elected chairman of
the Public School Board, at the first
meeting, on Wednesday. The man
who complains the loudest about the
open winter, and calls for a good,old-
fashioned fall of snow, will be the
man who will kick the hardest when
he has to get up some frosty morning
and shovel a path under the clothes
line, or light the kitchen fire. Will
Ross, who holds a position in one of
the government departments at To-
ronto, returned to his work on Satur-
day. James Hillan, of Detroit, is

adderss on "The Christain at Home."

if the ability that is, to a certain ex-
tent latent, in the three associations
could be concentrated and used for the
spread of spiritual light, as we be-
lieve it should be, the good accom-
plished would be inestimable.
