Monnteastle resides in her native town, Clinton, Ontario, where she was born November 20th, 1887. Her parents were English, of mixed Irish and Scotph descent. Her early years were passed on her father's farm, where she cultivated the acquaintance of nature in all her moods; early evin- cing a taste for poetry and painting that the hardship incident to a home of limited means could not subdue. Later on she studied painting in To. ronto. She has taken prizes in all the provincial exhibitions. She is very proficient in pencil drawing, and, as a teacher, is also very successful. In, 1882, a Toronto firm published "The Mission of Love," a volume of poems by Miss Mountcastle, which has been very favorably criticised. She then wrote "The Novelette," "A Mystery," which was purchased and published by the same firm. It had a good sale. Her style is clear, chaste and forcible. Miss Mountcastle was recently elected an honorary member of the "Trinity Historical Society," Dallas Texas." 0. A. R. This is followed by five short poems taken from "The I scion of Love" namely "The Settler's Wife," "Au- tumn," "An Appeal," "Art thou think- ing of me" and "Suspicion."

We are informed that the premises will be used as originally intended, but it will be some little time before arrang- ments are completed; our townspeople will be glad to know that Mr Geo Mc.Taggart is to remain in town. WHY PATRONIZE THEM?—Evei•y clow and again a stranger comes along with some article for sale, and by in- dustrious peddling, succeeds invari- ably in disposing ot a considerable amount of his wares to the detriment of Local tradesmen, who should be supported in preference. The artic- les may be meritorious, but only sell because they are forced on purchas- ers. The other day a couple of fluent tongued young fellows went around here selling "handy mucilage," small cakes about an inch square at "15 cts each or two fora quarter." They sold quite a lot, as the mucilage was good, but we have the best of reasons for knowing that the cement, which they manufacture as they Wave', does not cost them a cent a cake. People should flatly refuse to pur- chase from these fellows, but spend -'their money with reliable and estab- lished business men, It is no wond- er merchants get mad sometimes to find their customers paying cash to strangers for useless articles and "charging" whatever they buy in town. NOTES. --Mr Thos. Shipley, late of Goderich, but an old Olintonian, moved his family to Exeter last week,where he is going into business Apples are retailing here now at $1 a bushel. Messrs McMillan,of Hallett, 'and Mitchell, of Goderich, had a meeting' here on Friday, concerning the Clydesdale Association. Mr Jas. Sheppard, who has been confined to his house by severe dines?, is now able to be out. The house lately oc- cupied by Dr Reeve was offered for sale on Saturday, but found no pur- chaser. Robbins, fine days and April showers are plentiful. E. Hodgkiss, ' ]ata tuner for the Goderich Organ ' Com and formerly of the Doherty fac- tofy, has secured a situation with the firm of Clough & Warren, organ manufacturers of Detroit. Mr Smith, of the firm of Broadfoot & Box, Sea - forth, and brother-in-law of Mr James McMath, has withdrawn from the firm. The Atwood Bee is not the only paper that finds the local and editorial columns of the NEW ERA good for clipping purposes, but it displays considerable nerve when they are run as original. Miss Maggie Washington left on Tuesday for Port Union, in Eastern Ontario, where she expects to spend the sum- mer. We regret to hear that Mrs John Lapier, who resides near the cemetery, is quite ill. Mr J. S. Wor- sell has been created an Honorary Member of the Parisian Inventors Academy. Mrs Chapman, of Inger- soll, formerly Miss Thomson, of the Huron road, Goderich township, was here on a' short visit to some of her old friends. Farmers say that fall wheat never looked better 4rljan it does this spring, and the late rains have -helped it very much. Mi. D. V. Yann, for some time a resident of town, has taken the position of tuner in the• Whitney Organ Company, of Quincey, Illinois. Mr. Stevens has completed hie assessment of town; he says that there is a slight increse in the total value of real estate, and that he has succeeded in assessing many more doge this year than last. When placed on trial at Belleville, on Monday, for !forgery, that frand Chester W. Yourix pleaded guilty: sentence has not yet been given. Meesers. W. Downs and Arthur Tyn- dall, of this place. have the pleasure of serving on the Petit Jury at God• erich this week. Mr. Macmurohie, we are pleased to say, has been able to be out a little during the recent fine days. The scraping of the front etreete may be commendable work, but the leaving of the earth in piles, RE-ORGANIZED.—At a meeting of the teachers and students of the Col- legiate Institute on Friday last, it was decided to reorganize the renown- ed foot -ball club. After some unnec- essary discussion on the subject, as to wheTher the meeting had been legally called, the following officers were elected:—Hoh. Pres. Jae Turnbull, B. A., President,D. A. Burgess, B A, Secy. R. Ferguson, Treas,F.Turnbull. Also a committee of four, represent- ing the forms, Messrs Whitely, An- derson, Wilds and Whitmore. Oper- ations will commence as soon as the grounds are in a fit condition and a new ball has been purchased. All per- SPING ASSIZES Before Chief Justice Falcoubridge MCKENZIE v QUINN—This was a disputed boundary case, and was tried without jury. It occupied Monday afternoon and all of Tuesday. Judg- ment reserved. BEATTY v FioLnu:s—Libel--Plaintiff had been fined before a Varna magis- trate—the conviction being subsequent- ly quashed. A statement appeared in the Clinton News Record concerning the case and a letter was afterwards published in the CLINTON NEW ERAcrit- icising this statement. Beatty claimed that -the letter in the NEW Ege was'un- true and libellous, and demanded the name of the writer, which was refused. The columns of the paper were thrown open for him to reply, and a letter written in his interest, was published. sons wishing to maked,onations(whichNearly the entire population of Varna are very acceptable at all times)' were present as witnesses, and the case be given a hearty reception at I lasted all day. The fury returned a verdict of one dollar against defendant, the office of our worthy treasurer. Also be it known that the club stands open to receive challenges from all quarters of the globe. SERIOUS ILLNESS.—It will be with the very deepest regret ' that the many friends through the County of Mr Peter Adamson, County Clerk, will learn of his very serious illness, with no prospect of recovery. He has been ailing for some time, but hopes were entertained that his illness was only of a mild form, and that he would soon be in his accustomed place in the County buildings. But instead of getting better, be has grad- ually grown worse, and this week is in a very critical condition. His trouble is paralysis of the spine, and although conscious, he is graslually growing weaker, and fully realizes that his end is near. He has filled his present position for a great many years, and has been regarded as an almost indispensible assistant to the County Council, so thoroughly posted is he upon municipal law and the general transactions relating thereto. If good wishes would restore him to health he would soon be in the en- joyment of that inestimable boon. We are sorry to learn that another man well known to a large number of people in this county, though he has not been in it for some years, is also at the point of death. This is Mr Allan McLean, brother of otir esteemed friend M. Y. McLean, of the Seaforth Expositor,and at one time b sociated with him in publication of that paper. Some years ago Mr. McLean went .to Colorado and engaged in ranching in order to ward off the threatenings of consumption; for a considerable time his health seemed to improve, and he purchased a paper there and gave his attention to it, but the old trouble came on again and with the addition of a severe attack of grip has laid him low, but not before he had gone back into ranching. He is, we learn, at present in a precarious con- dition. and those who remember him as a former Huronian, will be sorry to know that the chances of recovery are against him. Donald McKninon was arrainged on the charge of murdering his wife, and pleaded not guilty. He made an at- tempt at suicide on Wednesday, by try- ing to force a piece of wire into his heart. Wm Dempsy, charged with criminal assault, was arrainged, and pleaded not guilty. Fredrick Robinson pleaded not guilty upon two charges of forgery and one of false pretences. Sentence was deferred. John 'Heffernan, charged with cattle stealing, pleaded not guilty. The Grand Jury brought in true bills in the McKinnon and Dempsey cases. Church Notes. The District meeting of the Metho- dist Churches in Goderich I)istrict, will be held in north St Church, Godericb, on May 20-21. Rev N. H. Casson, of Fensail, preached in Rattenbury St Church, on Sunday last; he is a young man of marked ability and gives good promise of being a faithful servant in the Master's vineyard; his sermons was listened to with interest and ap- preciation. At themeetingofthe young people's association of Rattenbury St. church, on Monday evening,Mrs Shilton gave an excellent and practical address on Cross Bearing.

On Monday afternoon the last meeting of the Society was held in the Assembly room, at which was con- gregated a large representation of students. The program was in all respects equal to, if not superior, to that of previous meetings and the zeal of the numbers seemed to receive an idipetus thereby. A selection by a choir of girls was the pleasing fore- runner of an excellently rendered recitation by Miss Nellie Medd, who acquitted herself in a manner highly praiseworthy and evoked the compli• mentary remarks of all. The next ' as a duet by Misses Dolly Fair and Eva Chidley, which, with Miss Edna Curtis as accompanist, was thought by the critic far superior to criticism, i1 we are to judge from his overlook- ing this single selection. Mr N. J. McFadden was then called upon for a reading and told the story of'a horn, in veteran style. Mr E. Whit- more,the artful musician of the after- noon, delighted the audience with samples of his skill on the violin. Miss Hattie Rumball,who has always been recognized as an accomplished reader, produced the usual desired effects and received merited applause from her admiring fellow -students. Mise Mable Doherty's reading, en- titled "What the Indian thinks of London," proved of much interest. Master Ernest Cooper favored the audience wito a solo, which was fol- lowed by a reading by Miss May Er- win, Vice Pres. of the society. Miss Erwin's tone and finish might well serve as a model to more assuming elocutionists, Mr J. I'. Doherty as critic, was then called upon and passed his opinion on the several parts with bis usual good humour and courtesy. A general regret aeemed to be expressed that this was the last meeting. ATTEND THE MEET' NG. —Mayor Birkett, of Ottawa, recently advised the ratepayers to attend the meetings of the City Council to judge for them- selves how the business of the city was conducted. There is not much room in our Council Chamber for the general public to attend the meet- ings, but still sufficient for a number of ratepayers to be present and see what is going on. The regular meet- ings of the Council are held the first Monday in every month. and th'e councillors will be glad to see a large attendance any evening.
