KILLED IN MICHIGAN.—A young man naned Brownlee, aced About 21, was killed by a train on which he was employed as brakeman, in Michi- gan, a few days since. He was a son of Mr Wm. Brownlee, who formerly kept:the Royal Hotel, Clinton, and nephew of Mrs Brownlee, of town. THE WARDENSHIP.—The aspirants for this position this year are Messrs Joe. Griffin, reeve of Ashfield ; D. D. Wilson, reeve of Seafortb ; A. Mc - Murchie, reeve of Clinton,. and Dr. Rollins, of Exeter. The three firet- named are Reformers, the latter a Conservative. Who will get it will. not be decided until next Tuesda ,, CORRECT HE Is.—A f.+ll-known business man says : "Newspaper ad• l+ertising may be. 'Compared to a vigi- lant and watchful salesman, who goes after 'business early and late, who ac- costs the lawyer in his office, the stu- dent in his study, the retired man of wealth at the family fireside, who can be in 1,000 places at once and address 1,000,000 people each day, saying only the right thing in the right place and at the right time. COUNCIL COMMENTS. — The new council has settled down to work with the evident intention of doing the very best that can be done during the year. 'The Mayor has dropped into the harness of his official position as naturally as if he had been there all his life. It is unnecessary to say anything concerning old members of the council, as their zeal for tbe town is well known. Messrs Plummer and Armstrong promise to make good councillors, and will watch the in- terests of the ratepayers. Religious- ly the council stands, 6 Methodists, 3 Church of England and 2 Presby- terian s. ON THE SICK LIST.—There is hardly a family in town that has not somemember of it down with sickness and in some instances the whole family is ill. Mr. Joseph Rowell has been laid up for several days and does not seem to be much better. Miss Patterson, sister of Mr A. 0. br;w atterson, has been down for several days. Mr W. H. Hine is not able to leave the house. Mr Hezekiah Andrews has been very poorly for several days, but is on the mend. Mr. Will Struthers is still under the doctor's care. Mrs W. Plumsteel is very poorly. Mrs Whaley fas been confined to her room but is isle to be around again. WEDDING BELLS.—Another of those interesting events,that has been looked forward to for some time, took place on Wednesday last, when Miss Nellie Turnbull, only daughter of our worthy head master,was united in marriage to Mr C. H. C,Wright, Civil Engineer, of Boston, and eon of the late Capt Wright, of Halifax. The ceremony was performed by the Rev Mr Stewart, at eleven a.m., and after receiving the hearty congratulations of her numerous friends, all set down to a delightful repast. The presents were numerous and costly, which shows the high esteem in which she is held. The bridal party took the 2,25 train for their new home in Bos- ton, accompanied by showers of rice land good Isishes. KIcKINO UP.—It is generally sup- posed that horses owned by grocers or bakers get eo much exercise that they never have any disposition to run away, but such is not always the case. A grocer's horse took a notion to run away on Friday, but the sleigh struck a post in front of Couch's shop; the horse got free from the rig, but was captured without doing any harm., On Saturday afternoon a bak- er's horse decided to do a little speed- ing on its own behalf, and bolted oft at a great pace. Fortunately a post in front of Detlor's store stopped it up short, and possibly saved it from going through a large plate glass window. Later in the evening a horse driven by a young man took a notion to run away while coming down Albert street, and, dumping' him out of the rig, it ran down to Walker's store, where the cutter came to grief by striking against a tele- phone post, the horse continuing on down the street. No further damage was done. WHITE BRONZE IN HIIRON.—The following will illustrate how popular White Bronze is getting to be. Dur- ing 1889 the following parties had bronze work erected:—biro Newton Clarke, Jas. Page, Hugh McEachren, Angus Morrison, Hy. Motsy, Mrs E. Hedden, Geo. Clarke, Wm. Elliott, Jas. Box, all of Stephen. Joseph Griffin, Thos. Ford, Rebecca Findlay, P. Clare and Mrs M. J. Gauley, all 00'4' of Ashfield. Gertrude Bretz, Bel - grave; R. Souch and H. Y. Mooney, Morris; W. H. Kerr, of the Brussels Post; Mrs Mary Cantelon and Robt. Burchill, Clinton; Thos. Love, Win- throp ; Wm. Elcoat, Tuckersmith ; Mrs McIntosh, Harpurhey; D. Me- Diarmid, Stanley; H. Pybus, Chisel - burst, P. Currie, Goderich township; S. Blair, Bayfield; John Down, Us - borne, besides a number of orders for spring delivery. Some are of opinion that bronze monuments will blow ober with the wind. We have had ,home pretty hard gales lately, and bronze monuments about 20 ft. high -Stand as plumb now as when erected. The Commercial Hotel, bah intro- dueeel the electric light, Miss Emily Stevens has gone on a, visit to friends in Colborne, Mr Robb, of Tn kerawitb, has rent- ed the hoose of Mrs,T, Cooper, Albert street north. Mr John Robertson has bought the grocery stock belonging to the Angus estate. Mr H, B. Chant has resumed his forme; position of keymaker in the Doherty Organ Factory. Mr W. Brownlee, who was chop- ping in the bush last week, managed to cut one of his feet severely. Mr 0. Oalow and Robertson, of Guelpb. are tbe latest additions to the staff' of the Doherty organ factory, The West Riding Agricultural So- ciety report a shortage of $132. The Huron Central had a surplus of more than that. Mr. Doherty is having his mouse, vermin and duFt proof organ pedal patented in England. It is also pat- ented in Canada and the United States. Our Wingham correspondent fur- nishes more solid news concerning what transpires in that place, every week, than does either of the Wing - ham papers. He's a hustler. A young man, son of MrsJ.Struth- era, died somewhat unexpected:y on Sunday, from pressure on the brain. He bits been under medical treatment for quite a while, but being able to be about, no one expected his death so soon. He was a Forester, the members of this Order accompanying his remains outside the corporation, and the members of the Order at Bap• field coming out from that place and taking charge of the remains there. He formerly taught school in Grey, where be was well known and uni- versally esteemed. CHANGEDHAND The black- smith shop and lot, on Albert street, formerly owned by Mr Gauley, has been sold to Mr Geo. Trowhill, its present occupant, for the sum of $600. THE ATWOOD BEE,—This is the name of a lively little paper started at the village of Atwood, under the management of Mr R. S. Pelton. It bas lots of local and general news and should be well supported by the busi- neEs people, for that is the only kind of support that will make a paper a permanent success. A. 0. U. W.—At tbe last regular meeting of the A. 0. U. W., the fol- lowing officers were elected for the present year ; John Croll, P. id W. ; Richard Stoneham, M. W. ; T. Trick, F. ; H. Plumsteel, 0 ; J.

SHOOTING.—The members of Clin- ton Gun Club had a, shoot on Tues- day, 21st, with three men on a side. The shoot was between 10 gauge guns and 12 gauge guns, the 12 gauge winning by 3 birds. The conditions were 10 standard birds, 18 yds rise. When it is remembered that a high wind was blowing,the score is remark- ably good. The score stood :— E. Hovey,, 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1— 4 W.

Huron Sunday school convention meets in Seaforth on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 28 and 29. - The meeting of the young Church Woman's Guild, was held at the resi- dence of Mr J. H. Combe, on Satur- day afternoon, and under the able supervision of the president, Miss Emma Doan, much good work was accomplished for missionary purpos- es. In assisting this work this little band of children are "casting bread upon the waters" that will bring an immediate return, as it is a school for sewing and other womanly ac- complishments. On the evening of Tuesday next, the 28th inst., the Rev W. McDonagh, of London, will lecture in the Metho- dist church, Holmesville, on "The questions of the day." Whether the questions will be looked at from a moral, social or political aspect, we know not, but we do know that in any event the lecture will be well worth bearing, and in case the wea- ther is favorable, there will be a large turn out of the old friends and ad- mirers of this reverend gentleman. The entertainment in the Baptist Church, last Friday evening, on be- half of the Sabbath school, was a very pleasing affair. Mr Seldon, the pastor in charge, occupied the chair. The school is not large, but the schol- ars furnished a very interesting pro- gramme of recitations, music, etc., one piece, by six children, "We are all nodding, nodding," being quite realistic. All tie members of the sohool received prizes, Mr Seldon distribnting them, but for four spe- cial prizes Mr Smithson personated Santa Claus. An address by Mr Sel- don, on "The origin of the Christmas tree," was instructive as well as en- tertaining. The total proceeds were $22. Complimentary. The following resolution, unani• mouely passed by the official board of the Westfield Methodist church, speaks for itself:— WESTFIELD, JAN. 10, 1890. W. DOHERTY ESQ., Clinton, Ont. Whereas Mr Doherty,of the Doher- ty manufacturing company was invit- ed by our pastor, the Rev. J. R. Isaac, to lay the corner atone of our new Methodist church at Westfield, and was so liberal on that occasion, and again when our committee went to purchase our organ he manifested the same liberal spirit and in the com- mendable way in which he repaired the old organ for our Sunday school which is held in the basement. Be it resolved that we, as a board of trustees, feel it our duty to express our thanks to Mr Doherty for his chrie- tian liberality. Also would take great pleasure in recommending his organs to intending purchasers, as we are highly pleased with our orgtin both in qualiay and tette Signed, J. 11. M('CLINTON, Secy. Towxt c i ueil.

A TowN PARK. It was moved that the Mayor, Reeve, and Councillors Kennedy, Doan and Couch be a committee to meet a committee from the Hullett Agricultural Society, to consider the granting of the use of the grounds of said Society, for a public park and for other purposes. EXEMPTIONS. A lot of questions relating to the exemptions of taxation were submit- ted from the Ontario Government and discussed, the members being almost unanimous in favor of abolish- ing all exemptions, and the following resolution was passed:— Moved by Mr Manning, seconded by Mr Doherty, and carried, that this council express itself as opposed to all exemptions by Provincial Law, but would suggest that each munici- pality be granted the power of ex- empting such property as its munici- pal council sees fit by a majority. vote.
