out several hundred accounts, chief-
ly for back newspaper dues. These
MUST BE PAID AT ONCE to avoid
unpleasantness. We know the great-
er portion of them will be attended
to without any pressure. To those
who are dilatory, we would earnestly
ask them to shake off dull sloth and
remit early. We have never yet had

hope we never will have to do so.

MATED AND MARRIED. —D'llss
Tufts, formerly of Clinton, and A.
T. Davie of London, were married
in former place on Monday. The
bride was very becomingly attired
in corn colored satin with Marshal
Neil roses. Mr. Davis is well and
favorably known in Clinton and
much liked by his many friends in
London, having filled the position
of despatcher for the G. 'I'. R. there
for a number of years.
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.

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

"I. 0. F".—The I. 0. Fores-
ters are arranging for a grand Enter

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.

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."

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.

single persons 24. No. onCommuni-
cant's role 156, and of these 138 have

HORSE NOTES.
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

goes, a ulnas that we are short of in

For a sire likely to produce or re•
produce trotting qualities, Black
Hod, the property of Messrs. P. and

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

SIR PHILIP MILLER the great Englieha
horticulturist, writing in 1740, says c
` The best method to:have Cabbages

abroad every yoar, for it is apt to degen-
erate in England in a few yeas." The

that the hest seeds will rapidly degener-
