This gentleman, who was for several years a student here, is now teaching school at Owen Sound. Many of the Oollegians wish to know the name of' the Clinton corres- pondent of the Winghaul Times. Can you tell us Mr NEW ERA? [We think it would &wily be fair.[ smiting(' and pantiuge just opened up at the "Dry Goods Palace."

WRIST BROKEN.—Mrs Fair, sr., had the misfortune to slip down on Monday, and broke her wrist. t ANOTHER STORE.—MrJames Steep has rented the store lately occupied by Reith Bros. and will open out the same as a flour and feed and produce store. MOVING.—Mr King, who recently sold his baking business here to Mr Boyd, and has since been working for the latter, left this week for Goderich, where he intends to commence busi- nessfor himself. His place here is taken by a Mr Budge, late of Bel - grave. ANOTHER PATENT.—Harland Bros. have secured a patent in the United States for their Improved Oil and Varnish can, and now have itpatent- ed in both Canada and the United States. A patent is only issued in Canada for five years, which has to be renewed, but a United States patent is good for 17 years. ALL RIGHT AGAIN. For several days, or nights rather, the electric light had not been working satisfac- torily, there being a break in the cir- cuit somewhere, and in order to lo- cate it the wires had to' be completely overhauled, which took a couple of days' work. They are, we believe, all working satisfactorily now. Mr Geo Dow, of Exeter, formerly of Clinton, payed a flying visit here the other day. Great Scott ! it's not for nothing. Mr Samuel Doan, of St. Thomas, oqe of the'oldest residents of that city, who died last week, was a cousin of Mr 0. S. Doan, of Clinton. A little bird whispers that a pop- ular young man of Seatorth is greatly taken up with one of Clinton's fair damsels. Howell you like it, Kate ? FOR MANITOBA.—The special Manitoba train which was arranged to leave here on the 18th, will not go till the 25th, on account of cold weather and heavy snow storms in Manitoba. All the arrangements made for the 18th will hold good for the 25th. A large number of berths have been secured for the Colonist sleeper ,and parties who are going with this excursion should apply early to avoid disappointment. To NORTH BAY,—Mr J. C. Detlor has, we understand, decided on re- moving to North Bay, (on Lake Ni - pissing.) This is a growing town in a new section of country. We are sorry to lose Mr Detlor, for he has been a familiar figure in the county of Huron for a number of years, and in addition to being a member of the Public School board, both himself and wife have taken an active part in churclt'rand Sabbath School work, and will leave many warm friends behind. The Clinton A.A.A. has decided to postpone their intended con- cert from Good Friday. the 4th, to Tuesday the 8th. A splendid pro- gram is now being prepared. Lieut. Rance has a squad practising for their military tableaux, and Mr. J. Jack- son has a very efficient squad pre- paring for fancy drill. There is every promise of a splendid entertainment. All should attend the concert and thus show the Association that the people are ready to help them in stirring things a little in Cli nton. SOcIeL.—There was a good atten- dance at the social held at the resi- dence of Mayor Doherty, last Friday evening. The Doherty Organ Band was present and favored the audience with several selections. MessreSquirea and Ballard gave an instrumental duet, Mrs Patterson and Mr Living- stone each gave a solo, the latter also gave a recitation ; quartettes wereren- dered by Misses Williams, Doherty, Irwin and Boles, and also by Mrs and Mies Marcey, Messrs Doherty and Holloway. A very enjoyable time was spent by all, and a nice sum of money realized. FOR LOVE ALONE.—A marriage ceremony was recently performed by a minister of this county wherein the contracting parties were neither particularly good looking. After the ceremony was over, the lady, who seemed in a particularly joking mood, turned to the minister and in the presence of her husband, remarked` "Well, I always said I would never marry for money ; nor for good looks, but for love ; but I did think when I was marrying for love that I would get a man who was good looking, but I'll be blessed if I've even got a hus- band that's good looking." The poor fellow at whom this remark was lev- elled, took it with a laugh. EAT Clearing Sale! Mr Armand Hardy left on Monday for Manitoba' where he is going to peach school. He will be greatly misled by theetudeate, who wish him every success in his new home. Mr Robb, mathematical master at the Collegiate, had to lay down his tpole and take a day off this week. Mr Robb is one of the hardest work - ere, and most faithful teachers that ever came around these parts. At t his approachMathematical difficulties become small, algebraical tangles be- come plain, trigonometrical moun- tains sink to small hills, while geome- trical mires are safe to walk on, and if once in a while a student falls off and gats well ducked , it only tends to bind him closer to his teacher.—Clinton correspondence Wingham Times. ' The secretary of the Football club has received a communication from the President of the Western Foot ball Association, Mr Dewar, of Sea - forth. The committee will meet and see what steps they will take in the matter of joining the league. We would recommend them to join, as it will arouse a etronger spirit for foot ball in the town. Such good clubs as the Seaforth, town and Collegiate, Stratford, Mitchell and Brucefield are joining it. Why can't our club join 7 They stand a very good show of win- ning the Cup and thereby doing hon- or to their town and school. CRICKET.—The annual meeting of the Victoria Cricket club of this town was held on Wednesday evening last, when the following officers were elect- ed for 1890 :—Honorary President, J. Wiseman ; Honorary Vice President, Wm. Coats ; President, H E Hoag - ens ; Vice President, N. McL. Fair ; Sec.-Treas., J. W. Chidley; Captain, Jas. McMurchre ; Committee of Man- agement. M D McTaggart, F R Hod - gens, F T Koelle, R J McDonald and A T Cooper. The secretary gave the financial report which shows the club to be in a prdaperous condition. After talking oyer the prospects ot new grounds, matches, etc., the meet- ing adjourned to Anderson's restuar- aut where an oyster supper bad been prepared and was much enjoyed. Several of the members of the club delivered "eloquent orations" on the shortest notice. SHORTHORNS. — The sale of Mr Isaac Fisher's Shorthorns, at Gode- rich, went off about as well as could be expected under the pressure of hard times. One of his choice bull calves brought 5128, and a year old heifer $113. Among the prominent Shorthorn breeders who attended the sale, were Mr Arthur Johnston, of Greenwood, Mr C. M. Simmons, of Ivan, and Mr W. Ballantyne, of Strat- ford. On their way home they stepped off at the Hub and made a visit to Elmhurst farm, and we understand that Matchless' of Elmhurst 12th, will go to the Greenwood herd at an early date. SICK—The friends of DeputyReeve Manning will be pleased to know that although confined to his room, he is recovering, though very weak ; his medical adviser has informed him tbat for some time atter his recovery he must confine himself to his busi- ness duties alone, as his strength will not allow him to do as much other work as he has been in the habit of doing. Mr James Turnbull, Princi- pal of the Collegiate, is suffering from a severe cold, which prevents him attending to his usual duties. Master Charlie Lawrence has had a hard struggle with pnuemonia, but we are pleased to state that he is -out of danger. Mr Joseph Brownlee, who went to Toronto to undergo an operation for his health, has return- ed, the same not being considered necertary, it being believed that or- dinary treatment would answer hia requirements. We notice that the other Collegiate Institutes of Ontario are giving hand- somely to the Library of the Univer- sity. Several of the Colleges have given volumes o f books or else sent i. a subscription list. In this' way the library is being put in its proper condition. Thus far nothing has been done at our school to help the 'varsity along. Are we going to stand idle and look at other schools giving and working. Why cannot a sub- scription list be gotten up at the school and canvassers appointed. We are sure that many of the students would gladly give all they could spare for so good an institution.- There are many graduates in town who would give liberally if a list was got up. Many would give books, &c., if they had the chance. There are lots of persons in this county who would make Clinton a centre and send their gifts from here in a batch. Let ns get to work and make the friends in Toronto feel that they have the sym- pathy of the Collegiate Institute in Huron. One gentleman of Clinton, Mr Hale, has sent down volumes from his library, and several other gentle - are ready to do so. Local Church Chimes Rev C. E. Stafford, at one time of Holmeaville, has accepted a call to McDougall Methodist church, Win- nipeg. Messrs J. Ransford and Rev. W. Craig attended a meeting of the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Huron Diocese, at London, last week. Rev David Deck, of Listowel, will preach in the Baptist chapel, next Sabbath morning and evening, Mr Seldon taking bis work in Listowel. The special meeting held in the Salvation Army Barracks, on the:5th, proved to be quite a success. After the presentation of colors to the corps MI and Mrs Morrish, of Clinton, had their baby boy dedicated to God. The service was conducted by Major Philpott. The enrolment of soldiers was postponed until further arrange- ments could be made. The Willis Church Young People's Association will meet next Tuesday evening. The committee has made arrangements for an- open meeting. Rev J. A. Anderson, Goderich, will give an address on "Every man the architect of his own Fortune" and an excellent program has been prepared in addition. There should be a full house, especially from the congrega- tion. LACROSSE.—The Dauntless La- crosse Club was organized for the season of 1890, on Tuesday evening at Kennedy's Hotel. The room was crowded to its utmost, and judging from the interest the boys took in the proceedings we think that they will go in to win every time as they have first class material here for such a club. J. A. Mude was appointed Chairman and the following officers was elected : Hon. President, T. V. Yann; Vice Pres., L. Kennedy ; Pres., Will Robertson ; Vice Pres., Jos Managhan ; Sect, Treas. Ben Gibbings ; Cap., Geo, Howson ; Managing Com., B. Kerr; A. Morrish, A. Carter. A Com- mittee was • appointed to wait on Mayor Doherty in regard to improv- ments on the grounds. The meeting then adjourned all wishing they could get out to practice. The tickets for the lacrosse club membership are out and the patrons of the society will be called upon to purchase them. Our Junior Locrosse team has always been a credit to the town and aro a very gentlemanly lot of boys, who have endeavored to put as much life in the town as possible and ought to sell *any tickets to the gentlemen of WO; >J Having purchased the Stock of Messrs Geo. E. Pay & Co., at 65 cents on the Dollar, I will offer it on SLE!OHS! VERY CHEAP There were many exclamations of sorrow and sympathy, when it was announced to the students, on Mon- day, that their esteemed master, Mr Turnbull, was sick; it was soon, how- ever found that his sickness was not as serious as was at first thought, and that although painful was not very dangerous; he is now, we are glad to say, on the mend, and will soon be able to resume bis position as head. Next Monday will probably see him at his post. In order that the routine of the school should be undisturh ed, and the students not inconvenienced, Mr Robb and Miss Weir took re- spectively the principalship and teachership, and by the combined efforts of the staff no annoyance as to classes was felt. Miss Weir, who is a University student, filled the posi- tion very creditably, and deserves the praise of all for the way she took up the work. During the week, Mr .Robb has filled Mr Turnbull's posi- tion ot head master at the Collegiate and has amply displayed his ability to manage such a large school as the C.C.I. He has succeeded in inspiring such a fear in the hearts of the junior students that no longer is the Dread of feet and sound of voices heard in the corridors during classes. A stranger happening in would not for a moment think that he was only temporary head, but that be had been there for a number of years. The anniversary services of Ontario Street Methodist Chnrch Sabbath School will be held on Sunday next, when Rev. J. Edge will address the children in the morning and Rev. Jas. Livingstone will preach at night. On Monday edening a public entertain- ment will be given when a number of recitations, dialogues, &c., will be rendered. Choice music prepared es- pecially for the occasion will be Oven. PRESBYTERY.—The Presbytery of Huron met at Clinton on Tuesday the llth. The greater part of the fore- noon was taken up with the exam- ination and attestatute of Sessions Records for the past year. During the remainder of the day reports from the committee on Sabbath ob- servance, on Temperance and on the state of religion were received. Af- ter discussion, these were all adopted to be forwarded to the respective conveners of the Synodical committee on these subjects. Reports were also given in respect to missionary meet- ings and missionary services held during the year. Eight commis- sioners to the next General Assembly were appointed whose names will ap- pear in our next issue. Rev Dr Laing, of Dundas, was nominated as Moderator of the next assembly. During the evening a conference on the state of religion was held, at which addresses were delivered by the Rev J. H. Simpson, A. M. Ram- say, A. D. McDonald and Mr J. Kerneighan, elder. X X X Great — Bargains In Odd Lines of Goods which were lest over From the holiday trade. Mr W.•W.Ferran has sold his colt, Bell Bird, 22 months old, to B. J. Downing, of St Charles, Mich., for the sum of $1700 cash. ISSANE.—The number of insane persons sent from this county to the Provincial asylums, last year, was 21. The total number sent from this county since the Asylums were first opened is 416, of which 108 are still inmates. The Methodists of Brucefield are to be congratulated on the fact that at last they have got their church entirely free of debt. They have had up hill work for a good while, but under the pastorate of Rev Mr Hartt, have succeeded in placing themselves in a good fitancial footing. A PATRIOTTc HYnN.—We have received a copy of a hymn entitled "God bless thee, Canada ;" words by Mr S. Whitt, Toronto, and music by Mrs M. J. Whitt, Clinton. The words are patriotic and in easy metre, while the music harmonizes well. Copies of the pi ,ce can be secured at any of the three bookstores in town, or from Mrs Whitt. NOT EP.—The thermometer regis- tered 12 below zero early Friday morning. Mr G. F. Oakes was one of the singers at a concert in Blue - vale last week. No less than 9 tramps were accommodated with lodgings in the town hall during the past week. Times are getting better ; even snow- banks do not come as high as they used to. There have been more bebts liquidated by cordwood this year, than for many years past. Some men object to having a bill presented to them—unless it is a bank bill; we are anxiously awaiting our share of the latter. Mr Geo Trowhill is having his blacksmith shop improved inter- nally. A sister of Mrs Thos. Steven- son, [died at Brampton a few days since. Mr Will Coats has rented the house now occupied by Mr Geo F. Pay. Mr A. M, Todd has been elec- ted one of the officers of the Royal Black Chapter, now in session at Brampton. Miss Ross is here visit- ing her sister, Mrs Dr Gunn. Mr James Tewsley, of Chicago, who was here attending his father's funeral, returned yesterday.
