MUST CLOSE.—The license com- missioners for West Huron met in in Clinton a few days ago. It is now rumored that all places where liquor is sold will have to close up on the the 24th of May and on the 12th of July. Whether this is by resolution of the Board our infor- mant saith not, but the prohibition will be carried out all the same. And public opinion will endorse the enforcement of those days be- ing observed by abstention from business. BIo Egg.—Mr. Holmes, of this town, placed a monster hen egg on the table of our sanctum, Saturday. It measures 8 inches one way by 6i the other, and weighed nearly four ounces. It would seem that our Canadian gallinaceous fowl are endeavoring to arouse the gall of Major McKinley. For him to see hundreds of dozens of AtIch mag- nificent Canadian heu fruit then reflect that his legislation Causes his people to pay 10 cents a dozen be aides the Canadian price, to obtain them, is enough to make him turn green with envy.

COUNCILLOR JOHN STEEP has his linos cast in pleaeant places, and, without meaning any offence, he may be said to have taken a handsome row to hoe. On the 30th of March 1891 he was married to miss Rowe of Streetsville. MR. JOHN MCMILLAN M. P. and Editor Mitchell, of Goderich, that at the Rattenbury house on Friday and buried political pedigrees under the weightier matters of heavy draught horse pedigrees and the ponderous stud book. ON Monday Mr. Wm Ford cap lured a large grey owl on Patten - bury street. The bird succeeded;in drawing blood from Mr. Ford's hands before it could be placed in aafe keeping. It had gained its liberty and strayed from Ontario street. SAYS Chicago Business :—"A number of farmers living in the eastern part of Sumner county, Kens , will fertilize their wheat with salt this spring. Salt can be obtained for $3.60 per ton for fertilizing, if the buyer will sign a contract that it will be used for that purpose." Salt is credited with drawing moisture from the atmosphere. It will have a large field in which to exercise its capacity in this direction in"drouthy Kansas."-1Jiichigan Former. "I. 0. F".—The I. 0. Fores- ters are arranging for a grand Enter tainment for Friday May let and are securing talent from Toronto, Loudon, Wingham and elswhere. Mrs. Caldwell of Toronto, the well, known singer, has been engaged and will no doubt be greatly appreciat- ed. It is indeed a treat to hear her. Besides outside talent, the Quartett Club of Clinton who have won such high esteem among the music loving people will render selections in their usual good style. The bills and programs will shortly be issued and will contain full particulars. THE FAMILY PEW.—What would the Presbyterian minister in Cilia, ton think of the situation if he found himself in the position of his brother minister at Collingwood. At the latter place the minister's wife got a new girl wbo was told she could go into the ministers' pew when at church. The first Suuday she preceded other mem- bers of the family, except the minister, to church. When she arrived there the minister was sitting on the pulpit sofa, and the girl walked composedly up to the pulpit and to the amazement and atnusement of the congregation sat down beside the minister. SHOWERS OF GOLD.—Not OIlly i8 nature helping the Tories by pre- senting the pleasing prospect of a good crop of golden grain ; but it is ninny years since prices for all kinds of grain and cattle were so good as now. And not only this, but now comes John Heiner, of St. Catharines, who in removing an old Karn was struck with a shower of gold pir,ces which descended on him until they amounted to $710. The money Is supposed to have been secreted in the upper part- of the building by h is father. ItIr. Hainer had just cleared out the contents of his barn for ten per cent. more than ho could have got before the elections, and he now is more th in ever convinced that John A. is go at enough for him. "JUST A LEETLE" ASTRAY.—Our esteemed fl'ater of the Seaforth Ex- positor is astray when he says that the editor of the Goderich Star "ie struggling manful, lyto ward off the blove of THE NEws-HEconn." The Goderich cor- respondent of this paper has had a sparring bout with the Star. But THE 'NEWS RECORD is no more re- sponsible for the opinione expressed by hien than those of any other cor- respondent. We understand there is a modus vivendi lying around loose somewhere between Alaska and Patagonia. If we can get hold of it we will get the Goderich belli- gerents to tackle it far from the pub- ; lic gaze.

EAST, Princess St., when attending to some household work, fell front a chair and sprained one of her ankles so that site will likely have an enforced rest of several weeks. NATIVE TALENT. One of the most interesting citi- zens in Clinton to day is Miss Clara H.Mountcastle. The lady is known as a writer of both prose and poet- ry ; and err an artist she has achiev- ed more than local notability, pos- sessing a natural aptitude for pencil and brush delineations. In the current number of that critical pub- lication the Mayozine of Poetry (I3uffalo, N. Y.) she receives deserv• ed distinction in the publication of a few of her poems and the follow ing short sketch. Of the poems thore we deem the one termed "Au- tumn" particularly meritorious in its depth and intensity of mean- ing :— "Clara II. Mouuteastle resides in her native town, Clinton, Ont., where she was born Nov. 26th, 1837. Her parents were English of mixed Irish and Scotch descent. Her ear- ly years were passed on her father's farm where she cultivated the sc- quaiutauce of nature iu all her moods, early evincing a taste for poetry and painting, that the land scape incident to a home of limited means could not subdue. Later on she studied painting in Toronto. She has taken prizes in all the pro vincial exhibitions ; is very profici ent in pencil drawing and as a teach er is also very successful." "In 1882 a Toronto firm published "The Mission of Love" a volume of poems by Miss Dlountcaetle 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. Iler style is clear, chaste and forcible. Miss Mountcastle was recently elected an honorary member of the Trinity Historical Society, Dallse, Texas." "0. A. R." ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.

The Rector reported in addition that the Wotnan's Auxiliary had collected a considerable sum and expended it in donations to Mission- ary objects, and; that the Church - woman's Uuild besides collecting for the debt had a visiting committee who were doing much useful work. The St. Andrews Brotherhood was another attempt to organize young men for Christian work and gave promise of great usefulness The Sunday School is in a most flourishing condition as regards a steady increase of children and en- thusiasm of the teachers. The Rector gave the following statistics :—No. of families 118, single persons 24. No. onCommuni- cant's role 156, and of these 138 have received holy Communion within the last year. 18 Commnnicants have left the parish since Easter of 1890 and 14 have been received.

Mr. 'Phomas Sturdy, of Goderich township, has a splendid imported Irish Ilunter sire, Cambridgeshire Swell. As is well known the Irish Hunter is famous for his staying powers derived from thoroughbred blood. Ills size and ranginess also fit him to produce the very beet class of saddle horse, so far as form goes, a ulnas that we are short of in Canada, the demand for them in England more than equalling the supply, and if bred to our ordinary dams be Should produce a high sten.

See Mr. Sturdy's horse or address Mr. S. at Goderich P. O. for .printed pedigree. For a sire likely to produce or re• produce trotting qualities, Black Hod, the property of Messrs. P. and J. W. Cook, stands unrivalled in Canada. He is as pretty as a picture with n well attested pedigree, re- markable for the prepotency which has transmitted through a long line of sires the staying powers, vigor and trotting instincts of the genuine trotter. See his pedigree in another column and send to P. Cook, Clinton, or J. W. Cook, V.S., Dungannon, for extended pedigree. Black Rod will stand in Clinton and be limited to 25 dams, under the management of Mr. Jchn Taylor.
