THE NEWS•RECORD is sending
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
to call in the aid of the Courts and
hope we never will have to do so.
But we must have money.

duties on account of illness.
'TWAS FORTY YEARS AGO.—The
Stratford Herald, referring to the
death of the late Rev. Mr. McPher-
son in that city, takes occasion to
adopt the reminiscent mood. It
refers to the fact of that gentleman
moving the first resolution at the
first meeting held in what isnow the
city of Stratford, to form the first
free school there, the section to be
composed of parte of the township
of Downie, Ellice, North and South
Easthope. This was on the 21st
Jany, 1851 The resolution was
seconded by Mr. W. H. Hine now
eery. of the Clinton Coll. Int, and
Model School Boards of this town.
Mr. Hine has more or less been
connected with school matters dur-
ing the�°leing interval of forty years
and is a6 enthusiastic as ever in
promoting the liberal education our
youth.
BARNUM'S TEETOTALISM. — Mr.
Barnum told a reporter how he
came to be a teetotaller :—"One
evening, in 1847, I went to Saratoga
with a party of friends, and, with-
out noticing what I was corning to,
suddenly found myself talking
thick. I knew that I was boozy.
The next morning I said I never
should drink anotherdrop of liquor,
and I never have. I did not at the
time stop drinking champagne. I
did nbt then consider that drinking,
I became frorn that day very much
interested in the cause of temperance
and was instrumental in getting
the Rev. Dr. E. H. Chapin to lec-
ture on the subject at Bridgeport.
To my surprise the chief target of
his eloquence was moderate drinkers
and champagne suppers. It chang-
ed my views considerably, and the
next morning I took Dr. Chapin
into my wine cellar and told him
to look at the effect of his argu-
ments. I had knocked the heads
off all my champagne bottles. He
was astonished, and said he thought
I e�• was A to_gl tai ;ty.,,.-.`l

critter of Exeter, has purch„sed the
large etock of marble, &o., of the

getic and good workman.

BALL AT CLINTON.—Some Of the
gentlemen of Clinton got up a ball in
the town hall here for Tuesday
evening of last week. A large
number of invitations were issued
and numerous responses wore made
by a select number of the youth and
beauty of Goderich, Wingham,
Seaforth. etc., putting in an ap-
pearance. A pleasant time was
spent, we are told.
i
HEBREW EASTER.—Ill conform-
ity with the Hebrew Almanac this
year is a leap -year, and the Hebrews
celebrate their Easter three weeks
later. Thursday morning Rev. Dr.
Birkenthal delivered an impressive
sermon in the Hamilton, Ont.,
synagogue before a large congrega-
tion from Exodus xiii., 8 : "And
thou shalt tell thy son what the
Lord did for me.” After showing
that Israel is the only nation cele-
brating liberty and freedom and
bow the Lord Himself interfered
in their behalf for thousands of
years, he dwelled upon the special
importance of this exodus, that in
scripture it is brought iu connec-
tion with all commands and feaste
of the year, wherefore the command
that it shall be brought to the chil-
dren.

THE ACIrt9 AND PIK RON BOOK.
—The firm of A. L. Anderson & Co.
Toronto, having something like a
year ago thoroughly satisfied them-
selvesof the surpassing excellence of
Acme blacking, Pik•Ron paint, etc.,
and the consequent extraordinary
popularity of these and Messrs.
Wolff & Randolph's (Phila.) other
specialties throughout the United
States, Great Britain, and, iu fact
the entire world, promptly secured
the agency for Canada, and forth-
with, and at an enormous cost, con-
tracted fordyearly advertising space
in 60 of the selected best circulat-
ing newspapers of the Dominion.
With the matter and get up of these
advertisemeuts all readers of THE
NEwe•RECORD are by this time quite
familiar.
THE NEWS-BEcoRD is much pleas-
ed to again acknowledge the receipt
from J. T. Garrow, M. P. P. for
West Huron, of parliamentary dc,c-
uments. We are all the more pleas-
ed to acknowledge the courtesy of
Mr. Garrow when we consider the
fact that we opposed him as vigor-
ously as we could, having regard to
the proprieties of legitimate political
warfare In any political contest
THE N Ew 8 RECORD, baseless asser-
tion to the contrary, has never de-
scended to personal attacks. If we
had considered Mr. Garrow an un-
fit man we would have said tee and
would have been juetifod in saying
so. That WAS not our estimate. We
considered he was almost the equal
of his opponent in intimacy with
the requirements of the people of
West Huron and legislation de-
manded in their interests, and said
so. But the main policy of the par-
ty he supporte we consider objec-
tionable and on those grounds
would have been better pleased to
have seen the gentleman defeated
than elected. So far West Huron
has no cause toabe ashamed of its

SOME FISH --The Dominion
Government has sent two and half
millions of white fish spawn to
Goderich, Kincardine and South•
aropton to be deposited in Lake
Huron.
CHANGE.—The last number of the
Parkhill Gazette contains a notice
of the sale of that paper by the pro-
prietor, Mr. Green, son-in-law of
Mr. John Croll, town, and the pur-
chase of it by Mr. R. T. White.
ONTARIO ST. CHURCH.—Fellow-
ship meeting and Love Feast com-
mences in the Ontario St. Method-
ist church next Sunday at 10 a. m.:
Public service at 11 o'clock. Miss
Williams will preach morning and
evening. Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper at close of the morning ser-
vice.
PROTESTS.—Up to date - there
have been 32 petitione and cross
petitioue filed against. Grit candidates
at the recent general elections,
and 37 against Conservatives.
Among the Grit seats protested is
that of M. C. Cameron, of West
Huron. There seems to be an im-
pression amongst Mr. Cameron's
supporters as well as opponents
that the gentleman will be unseat•
ed. Whether the over zealous con-
duct of Mr. Cameron's friends
came within his personal cogniz-
ance and thus result in his dis-
qualification will be more difficult
to prove than illegal acts by agents,
though it is not improbable that
the more serious charge may be sus-
tained.
GINUER ALE Comes DOWN. --j.
W. Riter, the wine and spirit user•
chant, a few days ago bought a
spirited horse, also an outfit for his
town delivery and neighboring trade.
On Monday Ire was at the freight
sheds receiving spring importations.
The rattle of bottles in cases nerved
the steed to move on a step or two.
A case of health•uivigarating ginger
ale, the first of the kind introduced
in this section, toppled over and
soon came in contact with mother
earth. A horse that would quietly
submit to such a racket would be
too slow for the delivery business.
The animal started off at a lively
rate, but was stopped near Irwin's
elevator. The encased geode were
freely distributed along the road,

was no other damage.

ISS SHEPPARD, who was on THE
NEWS -RECORD staff' for some time,
has secured a situation on the Oil
Springs, Ont., Chronicle. She is a
clean compositor, thoroughly reli-
able, and will no doubt be a desir
able acquisition to the Chronicle
staff.
THE CLINTON DRIVING PARK is
being put into splendid shape for
speeding on. The managers have
determined to keep it up to "high
water mark" so that whether for
practice or business the hoof beats
of trotters can resound from a sur-
face as hard as brass yet as yielding
as rubber.
MR. J. L. DOHERTY has open-
ed a training stable in Clinton and
has several fine animals in charge.
The track has been put in splendid
shape, and no doubt Mr. D. will
handle horses with speeding qual-
ities with profit to the owners.
GRITS were blowing about our
streets in plentiful profusion on
Monday on account of the dry
time. They penetrated through
every nook and cranny into shops
and domiciles thus making matters
nnpleasant inside as well as out.
Ewen an Editor Grit found his way
into this office, but he was a wel-
come visitor.

boat ten months ago and has since
been residing in Chicago, returned

DECORATE YOUR HOMES.—Just
now when all nature is decorating
itself with a variegation of colors
after shuffling off the cobwebs and
accretions of a Canadian winter it
is quite in keeping with the fitness
of things that sentient humanity
should decorate and rejuvenate
their homes and make them places
of beauty for a time if not forever.
As will be seen by advertisement
in another column, Mr. Joseph,
Copp, the painter and paper hanger
offers his experienced services in
seconding the work of nature. He
has a larger stock of wall papers to
select from, all the various shades of
paint, the artistic taste and the deft-
ness of a capable workman to enable
those wishing anything in his line
to have it done in the best manner
possible with least worry and
at the lowest possible cost.
THE "GENTLEMEN OF CLINTON"
we know right well have always
been popular, and did our opinion
need confirmation we would find it
in the very successful and brilliant
event of Tuesday the 21st inst when
they proved themaelvea what they
claim to be in giving and conduct•
ing their ball. The town hall was
^the -p•laccrr"i'wk'it a lt-witrlitTarir
was brightly illuminated and busy
hands had been at work all day
decorating it, particularly the stage,
which served as the parlor, with,
flowers, emblems, banners and 801
immense mirror situated immediate-
ly in the center and rear which re-
flected the kaleidoscopic movement&
of the merry throng. It was a.
glowingscene of beauty and gran-
deur from 9 o'clock, when a few
had arrived, and an hour later that
assembly was complete and the
favored ones invited bowed to
No. 1 on the program in grateful
and cheerful responsiveness to the
"Gents." The large hall looked'
like the scenes one reads of as
solely belonging to the realms of
fairyland, when the soft strains of
the London orchestra floated
through the air and inspired and
charmed the large gathering. Some
of the ladies' costumes were dazzl-
ing, some simple and neat—alk
beautiful, while everything told
of good management, magnificence -
and brightness ; and the youth an&
beauty remained in happy associa-
tion until the then dim indicat2r
of time showed it to be 4 a. m..
The committee in charge may be
assured that it was much enjoyed;
by all present.
