I heard when in Clinton the other day considerable talk about protecting your people from having diseased meat imposed upon' them by peddlers who pick up and kill refuse cattle that no regular butcher would buy.

On behalf of the congregation, then, permit us to present you with this purse and money as a slight recog- nition of the assistance you have so ably and willingly given, free of charge, to us in services of the Sanc- tuary. We hope and trust that your path through life may ever be growing brighter and bettor and that we may all, :e "rough God's mercy, meet in that fair and happy land where parting is no more, and hear you play not an organ but on one of those angelic harps.

Elliott has been collecting funds for some time to help pay off the debt on a splendid Orange hall in Derry- gonuelly, Ireland. It was purely a labor of love on the part of Mi.

"INIQUITOUSLY" STUFFED BY THE GRITS.—Clrarloa Allen, a medical student of Leamington, Out., had evidently more faith in the diatribes of the Globe and Cartwright than in the statutes of his country. Those false teachers have been prat- ing so continuously about the "iniquitous" tariff that this medical student acquired the idea that every- thing in the heavens above that was wafted into Candade paid a tax, and that everything from the earth beneath and things that should be under the earth, if brought into Canada paid au "iniquitous tariff tax", whereas nearly one half Cana- dian imports come in free. And it came to pass the other day that this medical student bought a human skeleton in Detroit, and in order to avoid the "iniquitous tariff tax" he dressed it in woman's attire, includ- ing hat and veil from his sister's wardrobe, and brought it over to Canada as a living person. When he got it home he was much chagrin• ed to find that there was no "legaliz ed robbery" in connection with this class of "still's," there being no duty on skeletons to be used for scientific purposes. He has 'now concluded to not believe the one half he reads iu the, Globe and less of what Cart- wright says. PARLIAMENTARY representation of West Huron will of necessity very soon take up the attention of the electors. It is --surmised that 'Mr. Cameron will again be the Reform candidate. Who the Liberal Conservative candidate will be we cannot even surmise. There seems to be a demand for a local man, while some think Mr. Porter ought to be again asked to contest the Riding, others again are inclined to favor a prominent outside man such as Mr. Meredith, Hon. John Carling or Mr. Blackatock. If the popular feeling should be in favor of a local man we presume there will be aspirants in various localities. Our own opinion is that we do not want a mere talking machine like M. C. Cameron who gives no thought to legislative matters necessary to carry on the business of time country, but whose whole mind is bent on obstructing Parliament and making 'inflammatory stump speeches in the House that they may be printed in the press and in the public records of Parliament and thus go to the country as material for another election cam- paign. Those long-winded, sense% less praters cost the country an extra quarter of million dollars last session by extending it to an in- ordinate length and then voting themselves an extra $500 as con- pensation for their verbose folly. In Clinton we have very good parliamentry material in the persons of Mayor Doherty, John Rausford, , David Canlelon, Thos. Jackson, sr. But it is questioned whether the personal business affairs of any of these would permit of their accept- ing a nomination if offered thorn. Ono thing is certain, that a Con aesvative can be elected it the parte: ie united,and r iia t •� I u Cdo servatives must fight baclto back and together so that they can defend themselves from the insidious a';taoks by most wicked means and from all quarters. - AildUtlonal Locals.

DuPEE,of Bayfield, is offering a couple of hooks that are worthy the consideration of those who dbsire to invest in good; mending. • A YOUNG MAN was fined by Mayor Doherty $1 and coots, on Monday, for having disturbed the Salvation Army meeting. FivE young fellows of town, upon being ordered out of the Prince of Wales hotel Monday night, destroy- ed considerable of the bar fixtures, making the night hideous at the same time by their ruction, for which they will have to ana.ver be. fore the eudi. Tows DEBENTURES SOLD.— O'Hara and Co , of 'Toronto, have bought $6,500 of consolidated 4 t per cont interest bearing deben- tures of the town of Clinton at 99, paying the town tho one per cent, $65, in cash. They are to run 20 years. MR. HARRY STANBURY will have reason to remember, pleasantly, Christmas day 1891. 'While going north he will not go by East. The taut is he is known to have a par- tiality for E•tst. The wise met] came from the east and returned there about 1891 years ago. Harry is act• ing wisely. TLIE LADY TneclJER.—'1'L• e follow- ing composition was recently written by an Willie school boy, after receiving a whipping from ono of the 1•tdy teachers: --"A school ma am is a verb because she denotes action when you throw pa• per wads at the girls. Switch is a conjunction and is used to connect the verb school -ma'am to the noun boys. This is a compound sentence; boy is the subject and switch the object. First person, plural num- ber. A school -ma'am is different from a boy ; a boy wears pants and a school ma'am wears Ler hair ali- en her forehead. Ma says a school. ma'am nevea.gets married. It takes two schogl-ma'ams all day to cook dinner. Bite, Mr. Ottawa Stewart is visiting at the Nile. Mr. Hugh Girvin is busy getting his lambs ready for shipping. He has a great number gathered together now. Mrs. S. Pentland from Duugan• non, preached in the Nile church on Sunday morning and the Rev. Mr. Potter in the evening. The annual entertainment and Christmas tree will be held on Thursday evng. the 24th, when a good time is expected. Proceeds in aid of Sunday School work. The decorating committee for 'the Nile Sunday school mot at the church on Saturday afternoon and, with the aid of evergreen boughs, trimmed the church very handsome- ly. Mr. Samuel Sheppard moved to his hall on the 12th con, last week, where ho will be found during the winter months, health and weather permitting. Samuel says he is go- ing to be married next Wednesday. Good luck say wo all. Mr, Simpson and his men are getting along very well with the church sheds. These when 'com- pleted will be the largest church sheds in the county of Huron, so far as we know anything about sheds. A merciful man is merciful to his boast. They will be 249 feet long and will be a credit to the con- . gregation. There will be sufficient room for all the horses thet may ho brought by the worshippers at the church. There will be no excuse on this ground for the stay•at- homes. The annual examination of the - Union School, West \Vawanosh, was held Friday of last week when the scholars were rewarded accord- ing to merit for the year. Thera were teachers present from other schools, Mies Robertson from No. 1, Colborne; Miss Poster from No. 5, Colborne; Miss McIver from Goder- ich. There was also a good repre- sentation of parents and visitors. A good programme was provided and refreshments served at the school, and all went home well satis- fied with the day's proceedings, The trustees have secured Mr. Allis and Miss McIver for teachers for next year. --Wilhert Morden, of Fesserton Simcoe county, was arrested under he Charlton.
