at the houses of its different membersit being the rule that when the menti.
bers assemble they should walk aright
in, instead of knocking at the door Sao
as not to disturb the other membersof the house. This person quietly
walked into the house on tiie last
night of meeting, and took a seat in
the parlor, rnentally wondering how it
was that no one else was present. Af-
ter remaining for sometime, the lady

amid the mutual surrisethatfollow-
of the Chatauqua circle had got into
the wrong house.

WELL CONNECTED—The colt Young
Sidney 16188, bought at Cleveland last
spring by Mayor Doherty, happens to
be an own brother, or at least a brother
in, blood to the yearling fillyFrou-Frou,
2.254, which is the world's champion
trotting record for &yearling. The colt
is also a half-brother to Fausta, which
has made the world's champion pacing
record, for a yearling, of 2.
MUSIC.—The address on music, pre-
pared by Mayor Doherty and which has
been referred to before,has been beauti-
fully printed on fine paper, embellished
with a photo—true to life—of Mr
Doherty, and also a couple of engravings
of the choir of Rattenbury Street
Methodist Church. The pamphlet is
really a work of art and if placed on
sale, should readily find customers, as
the address contains so much practical
'information on a subject that cannot be
too well known.
SOILED DOVES. — On Saturday a
couple of women, presumably of ques-
tionable virtue, arrived here from
Goderich, accompanied by a couple of
men. One of the women had a "beauty
mark" in the shape of a black eye, and
both had some intentions of remaining
here. Constables Wheatley and Welsh
gave them plainly to understand that
unless they left they would all
be placed in the ck up, and they
chose the alternative of leaving town.

U. H.—Aparagraph last week, under
the heading of church notes, contained
a reference to the "U. H." Club. This
has given rise to considerable sppecula-
tion as to what U..11. means. Know-
ing the love of mystery implanted in
the feminine bosom, the inference is
Iargely in favor that, tiie members of
the U. H. Club• are women. Hence, if
only women belong to it, one of our
readers suggests that the initials may
stand for "Unrepresented Him." There
are other definitions suggested, as for
instance: Indivisible Gallinacoe, Un -
parted Hugger -Muggers, Un -Hung,
etc. Perhaps some member of this
delightfully secret sisterhood will re-
lieve our readers of their anxiety, and
inform them what "U. H." means.
THE DRAUGHT HORSE MEN. — A
meeting of the Council of the Dominion
Draught Horse Breeders' Society was
held at Clinton last Saturday, in the
Rattenbury House. Considerable busi-
ness was transacted, including some
important legislation which will be re-
commended to the annual meeting to
be held in the Town Hall, Clinton, on
Wednesday; Dec. 9th, commencing at
11 o'clock a.m. At ;this meeting the
annual reports will be presented, offi-
cers and seven members of the Council
elected, and several subjects of deepin-
terest to horse men generally wibe
discussed. Just now the breeding of
this class of stock is especially a live
subject, and any one interested in it
will find it worth while to attend the
annual meeting of the Society, whether
a inruioer or not. The Council will
meet in the Rattenbury House on
the evening previous to the second
meeting, at 7 o'clock.

We have received the first number of

well filled with local news. We would
like to get copies of the NEW ERA for
Oct. 23, and Nov. 13 and 20, and any
one who can furnish us with such will
much oblige us. "Canada and the Ca-
nadians" will be the title of a lecture
