I -Io drove from his residence to hie office with Mr. D. McCorvie. It was seven or eight weeks previous since he had first been confined to the house. It is hoped that now ho is once con• valescent his improvement will go on apaco until his complete restore- *hien to health is assured. Ma. H. B. PaouuvooT, Dominion Land Surveyor, formerly of this town, now of Toronto, was in Clin• ton last week. His 21, yards of Rtal}vart manhood supports his ac tive and wide-awake brain casket with ne litho and uncompromising firmness as ever. Our former towns- man, W. O. Malloch, has been with Niru during the past summer survey- ing in Northwestern Ontario. Mr, 1.1al1och now weighs. about 230 lbs. THE SHORTEST DAY,—Monday of this week was what is popularly termed the shortest day in the year. But there is really very little differ- ence for a week previons to the 2Ist and a week afterward. There is only about three minutes differ- ence between Christmas and New Year days. After the New Year, however, the days begin to lengthen -at both ends, at first by about an average of a miuute a day. A }TunoN M. D. IN CHICAGO.— Dr: H. M. Cowen, at ono time Editor of the meter Rcf9ector, is now a prominent physician of Chi• cago. Considerable prominence has been given to the alleged sus• nese of Dr. Keeley in his treatment and cure of alcoholism by injections of bichloride of gold. Dr. Cowen holds that the bichloride of gold is a poison which when its effects have worn off will leave the patient with tendencies to alcoholism more pro- uounced than ever. The Times of Chicago, publishes a challenge from Dr: Cowen to Dr. Kenley to discuss the matter publicly. Dr. Cowen claims to treat and euro victims of alcoholism with purely vegetable and non-poisonous preparations, which "will enlarge the caliber of the tnental man and permanently add to the timber of hie nervous capacity and physically assuage his appetite for liquor and build up his constitution ravaged by the drink habit." So far Dr. Feeley has de, clined to publicly disdltas the two systems of treatment.. idQ,,Xpsses says` lithe rvo octors sTio�uld meet the fur will fly.

The re- porter is still living, but the women cannot find him, and the minister is in the tgile of an investigation. The reporter explains -that he wrote warm friends. INCIPIENT FrnE.—Friday morning about 6.30 the fire alarm sounded and oro many minutes the hum of the engine night have been heard. But its sorvicea were not required. .It seems that the young man em- ployed iii- the Era office, and offici ally known as the 'devil,' made on a fire as usual in the office stove about 6.25. The previous evening a new boating drum had- been attached to the stove pipe upstairs, withiu a few inches of the upper floor. But as the drum rested on brinks it was thought to be perfect- ly safe. Apparently there was some portion of the underneath surface of the drutu whish was not pioteat- ed from the floor by the intervening bricks, and the stoker in his earnest endeavor to make it hot for the boys —the morning was n cold ono— built up a rattling fire in the stove, the heat from which affecttd the drum to such an intense degree that t•hu floor underneath it'caugllt fire and cousiderable smoke was emitted. A pail of water was all that was - required to quench the incipient fire. We congratulate our cotom- porary upon its but slight scorching and hupo that it will be reminder of the more intense heat which awaits those who bear false witness for or against their neighbors or against their country. SHARP'S CREEK.—The illustrated supplement to tho Saturday Glube contains several well•executed pho- togravures of Canadiau scenery. They are reproduced from photo- graphs taken by amateurs with a portable camera called a "Kodak,,” which can bo operated by those not expert in photography. A very pretty piece is a view of the land- scape on Sharp's creek in the town- ship of Colborne, near Godorich, taken by Hon. A. M. Ross, ex -M. P.P. for West IIuron and ex Pro• viucial Treasurer, It will surprise some of our readers to learn that Mr. Ross is thus aesthetically in- clined. But in spite of his austere nature, from which one would look for naught but -a metallic. ring, indi- cative of bawbees, he has evidently another self which is susceptible to the soft mellow beauties of nature to have selected such a charming bit • of pastoral scenery. "Thrice happy he who-. by some grove, Far from the clamorous world, doth live his own, Though solitary, who is not alone, But doth converse with eternal nature." This Sharp's creek will have remembrances of anything but a poetical nature for two of our townsmen whom the lessee, M. C. Cameron, made pay through the nose because some of its speckled beauties leaped from its crystal waters and became entangled in their fishing lines in frantic endea- vors to capture the artificial flies 0.1 the ends of the lines. DEAD,—Judge Sinclair, county judge of 1Ventworth, died in Ilam- ilton last Thursday. We are sure we voice the, feelings of the many in IIuron who knew the, deceased when we express sincere regret at the demise of the gentleman at the age of 53 years. In 1876 ho was appointed to the bench, previous to which he was a' practicing barrister for ten or twelve years and resided at Godorich. He was of command- ing presence and considered a good lav yer, though his searching and somewhat brusque cross -examination - of witnesses sometimes defeated the end he had in view. Socially he was a very pleasant gentleman. As a politician he was asttfto and a very good platform speaker. We must confess that we were disap- pointed with his career on the bench, Knowing him chiefly as a partisan politician of what we con- sidered rather narrow views, 'we were sutprieed to find hint on the bench a broadminded, painstaking and impartial jurist, and we took particular delight in reading his addresses to juries and his judg menta. Members of the bench and bar of Wentworth, who came into contact with him in the discharge of his official duties, in noticing his death took occasion to remark that he "was an able lawyer and a gen- tleman who was entitled to a high position among the judges of the province." The deceased leaves a widow, a sister of Mr. Chas. Seager, Goderich, one son and one daughter. His son is on the staff of the New York World. The funeral took place last Saturday. It may be mentioned that Judge Sinclair was tha author of-severai -1-egaFtroatisee which are considered authorities on the subjects upon which they treat. arc MAS PET...._.. �m !lave yen secured them.?

DOHERTY is acting as' agent for the Bell piano, of Guelph. This instrument has come to the front lately and has many modern improvements not found in the older standard makes. Those desiring a piano will be safe in entrusting their orders to Mr. Doherty, the manu- facturers are one of the most reliable firms in America as tha sale of their wares throughout the known world attests. Remo the holidays "pound so- cials" will be the order of the day or evening. Those attending them are required to bring a pound or more of provisions for distribution among the poor of the locality. T -hose who do not comply with this requisition receive a pounding at the hands of the most stalwart young lady present. Some young men purposely omit to bring the provis- ions, rovis ions, preferring to put up with the, love taps of the young ladies. PARROTS are known to be able to talk, at least to articulate certain words or phrases. But the mos eloquent Parrot we over heard of is a Mr. Parrot, of the county o Addington, Ont., who has offered 20 acres of land and $1,000 cash to establish a House of Refuge in that county. If wo have not Parrots in - this county who can talk so elo- quently individually, we hope that the forthcoming County Council will collectively articulate senti- ments equally humane and put them into practical shape and get the $4,000 aid proferred by the Ontario Government. •- MRs. SHAW, who has. for some time past been residing in Exeter with her son -in law Mr. W. Baw• den, has gone to Chicago where she will take up hen abode lot some time. Is IT A Mi TAKE.—It might be that some one has surreptiously transposed a photograph of County Court Clerk, D. McDonald, esgr., of Goderich, for one of Mayor Clark, of Toronto, and imposed the former upon the Globe as a likeness of tho latter. Certainly' the supposition is not altogether gr¢undleas as may be seen if those acquainted with Mr. McDonatd will tdk-o a good look at a portrait in Saturday's Globe labelled "Mayor Clark." BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIQN,—A few of the many friends of Mr. Geo. Hanley, town, assembled at his resi- dence last Friday evening. The event was the celebration of DIr, Hanley's 75th birthday. Although the gentleman is not so young and robust as he used to bo, he is more nimble in action and can crack a joke more heartily than many a younger man. Mrs. Hanley enter- tained the visitors in a very becom- ing mannerand all relished the feast provided, several express- ing the wish that they could celebrate with the gentleman many times a year. Mr. Hanley is very active for his age, and Ten NEWS- R000un expresses the hope of a large circle of friends when it wishes him still a good lease of life and for ing"b5'inTbtad`ta'deleisi t6 his advent into this world so very many years ago, 4 MUNICIPAL Matt/ors in town and ad- joining maniciptilities are very quint considering the: near approach of nomination day; It would, appear from this that the present members have performed their duties fairly well. We are not of those who favor annual changes in the mater- ial of which mit councils aro com- posed, unless on account of some wrong overt act or inattention. It requires one or more years for a member to become acquainted with the environments of his position and what is expected of him. And the position is not a mare honorary one, and if the duties which it entails are properly performed it involves a cousiderable loss of time for which there ii no personal compensation. It is possible there will be no change in the personnel of the exist- ing Clinton council. We were afraid that Reeve Manning would have been precluded on account of his severe illness from offering again at this; time. But as he is now improvi g nicely wo opine that he will bo to tho wishes of hie fellow rate ayers and accept well rrneds-a Miner Ift..:t`Hsi `itIff, There Doul be no more efficient public eery t. § See our beautiful range of NECK- WEAR.
