Mr. Leishman ie a gentle- Ic of more than ordinary intelligence di one of the class that is always con_. from conviction and facts. e went to Goderich opposed to a ° louse of Refuge. The knowledge ° in hie official capacity as a jury- th and the authentic figures at his enthrall(' has led him to now be in ep ►vor of it House of Refuge. He takes Eh ata account the question in all its earinge�—financial, humanitarian, etc, A —and hie honest conviction is that thd would be a good one for E County of Huron.

HOLIDAY SEASON.—Nov is the heart of the holiday shopper made glad by' the judicious advertiser. Anybody in search of presents needs only to con- sult the columns of TUE Nowa Itaaon.D to fix his choice. AGA- IN, MORE LIQHT.—Clinton pays a nice sum annually for electric lights, Lately THE N>rws RECORD has called attention to the foot that the system is not giving tho satisfaction which might reasonably be expected. Wed. nesday evening our business mon were left,ln complete darkness for, a time and people had to grope_along the streets and jostle each other to find' their way. Th.ir)inconvenience might reasonably be borne ocoasionally. ' But our eitilens and business men look and ask for a butter service. Again, give us more light—give us better light. FROM DAKOTA.—Mrs. McGregor, who has been in Dakota for seven years, returned last Thurs lay. Her son has been located Qn a form in Walsh County, Kinloss town, fur about eight years For five years in succession the strops have been a failute. Mr. McGregor, made a very good atarb and his pros - octet seemed fair, but the successive crop failure has convinced hien that he must try his luck elsewhere. IIe will do so with loss money than he took to Dakota, though . Mrs. Mc Gregor informed Tue. NEws RECORD that her son will in all likelihood try his fortunes in our Canadian North west. Mrs. McGregor is an old time resident of the 7th con., Goderich ownship, and while in town was the uest of her old and respected neigh or, Mrs. Thos. 0. Cooper. , SCHOOL TALK —The total rate n Clinton is 19 mills on the dollar, made up as follows: County rate, 1•4s; own rate, 6; special rate, lie domicile debt rate, 2; school rate, 8. It will be seen that the school rata is Huth higher than any of the other our. It is quite proper that our chools should be kept up to a high tandard. In fact it is necessary. But t is;difl'i.cglfjust_to.fiud why more inter - et is not manifested in school matters. t the varioua boards it is frequently lifficult to secure a quorum for the ransaction of the ordinary routine msineas, This is not right or proper ✓ in keeping with the great cost f these neceseary institutions. But lte people manifest leas interest than he trustees. And why 1 We aro coking for a. reason. People, many eople, we have heard complain dur- ng the last few weeks about the apparent igh 8011001 rate. But you never find em interested enough to attend Board leetings. The people should become lore conversant in school matters. Iore rivalry should be enthused into ustee elections. These Boards are Iore important, in some respects, than to town council, and citizens should scorns more familiar with their doings. h.en we would hear lose grumbling nd probably more practical interest lani'fosted in school work. CHRISTMAS CHEER.—Christmas cheer omes but once a year, Outside of urely business matters the term is enovelly taken as a platter of fact. But the Christmas cheer in this ase that was on its joyful way ravelled a great many miles and n the last few yards of its long ourney happened with a mishap. huraday was a vary busy day in THE NEws-RECORD office and a messenger as despatched for the afternoon mail, mong n mass of daily and weekly liit- ature and correspondence was a letter om an esteemed friend and subacrib- r at Oxbow; Assa. But the letter was t: delivered by tho cnrrioroa,t this (lice.
