THE TOWN OF CLINTON Is the geographical centre" of the splendid Bounty of Huron; the London, Huron & Bruce Railway runs through it north and south, and the Grand Trunk Railway also runs through it east and west forming a junction here. It has a Collegiate Institute that stands among the highest in the Province, and a Model School with a largo and efficient staff. There are two Methodist churches, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Baptist and Roman Catholic,while theBrethren have a meeting room. There aro two extensive organ factories, threshing machine factory, tan- nery, three planing factories, flax factory, fann- ing mill factory, largo flour mill, grain elevator, two carriage factories two salt wells, the head- quarters for the Canada Salt Association, and a large number of other industries.

Masons Oddfellows, Work- men Orangemen, Sons of Scotland Sons of England, Protestant Benevolent, Independent and Canadian Foresters Canadian Home Circle and Templars have lodges here. Population about 3000. Steam fire service and incandos- sent electric light systems. Town is exceeding- ly healthy, beautifully located, abundance of shade trees, and is one of the most desirable places of business or residence in Ontario. Rows Jtotos droned the Comity County Orange Lodge for North Huron will be held in• Oorrie on Tues- day, Feb. 7th. Conductor Walmeley,,, of the L,,H, & j B„• is off duty,, Suffering from a broken rib, having slipped and jell at Exeter, station same days age, The many friends of Conductor Jos. Pethick will regret to hear of his death. He ran; for years between Goderich and Stratford. Mr Jas. McLaughlin, of Michigan, a former Gorrie boy, is doing well. He is Register 'of tue county of Sanicac, which is worth about $2,500 or $3,000 a year. We regret to hear that Emanuel Olvar, of Morris, is in very poor health. His medical attendant pronounces the trouble to be cancer of the stomach with little hope of relief.. Dan. Campbell, of Walton, has dis- posed of his blacksmith and wagon shops to Thos. Clarke. Mr Campbell intends removing from Walton. Mr A. Jackson, of Bluevale, has re- ceived the sad intelligence that his daughter, Mrs Ed. Leech, of Detroit, is dead. It is only a few months since her sister, Mrs Wm. Leech, died. On Tuesday, while Mrs. S. Gidley, of Exeter, was in the act of carrying a pail of boiling water she slipped, and falling,the water spilled over her.scald- ing her person badly. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Moatz of Crediton, daughter of Mr. Abraham Dearing of Stephen. She had been ill but a week and leaves an infant child and husband to mourn her loss. On Wednesday, Albert, the seven year old son of Mr Robert Ellis, of Saltford, while coming home -frons school and hanging on a load of logs, fell off and the hind bob passed over both legs, breaking one above the. ankle and badly bruising the other. Mr John McMann, Huron's horse king, is still alive and doing business at the old stand. During the last month he has sold out of his stable at Seaforth 51 horses, which represented in the neighborhood of $5,500. It is now an assured fact that Gorrie and Wroxeter will be lit by electricity, Messrs Gibson Bros., of the Wroxeter saw mill, having taken hold of the matter. Poles are being got out and it is expected the plant will be running order in abotit six weeks. What might have been a serious ac- cident occurred to Mrs Pring, wife of Rev. J. W. Pring, Bluevale. While returfiing from church on Sabbath she was overtaken by a wild horse and reckless driver, throwing her down and inflicting a slight wound on head. Wingham OUR YOUNG BUSINESS MEN. — Mr Eli Dever, boot and shoe man, is a model young man, and beloved by those who have the pleasure of his friendship.

Mr Alley Lloyd is an elder in the Methodist church, assists in teaching the young in the Sabbath Schbol, and a young man held in es- teem by our townspeople. Mr John Stevenson is a carriage builder by trade, renders music at the parlor con- certs, and is a general favorite. Mr Wm. Willis weighs out tea and sugar in Hanna's grocery store, and is a Christian young man. Mr Thos. Mc- Lean is connected with the firm of Mc- Lean & Sons, lumber merchants, is a regular attendant at the Presbyterian church, and has many friends down town. Mr Harry Hiscocks, of the firm of Orr & Hiscocks, is one of the most prosperous business men in our town, and although on the sunny side of forty, is still considered one of the boys. Mr Wm. Sutton, operator at the G. T. R. depot, is gradually climbing to the top of the ladder. Mr George Mason, bookseller, plays a cornet in the Salva- tion Army band, and is one of the many young men in town, who are followers of the flag. Mr David Stith- erlan,d, owns and manages a large tin and hardware store, and has done much to advance the interests of the town.

A despatch from Fort Worth„ Texas, says: "Maggie Twomy, aged 40, a music teacher who came here from Canada five months ago, has been outraged and mur- dered. Her bady was found in a vaoant honee.” With a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, yon have an effective remedy for all eudden attacks of throat and lung tronblee. An hour's delay may lead to serioueconsequenees. No household shoal 1. be without thia wonderfnl medicine. BANNER ROUTE. Does it ever strike you that the new Wabash line between Detroit and Chicago, just completed, forme part of the shortest line from Canada to the World Fair City and the great west. The new trains on the Wabash are absolutely the finest in the World; not half the advantages of this Railway can be outlined here, any R. R. ticket agent will tell yon the rest, write or call at our new dace, N. E. Co. Bing & 'Stange street Toronto, Jl. B. Richardson u5traillt Plakenger agent. On Friday of last week the sad in- telligence reached Mrs Ross, of the Manse, Brucefield, of the death of her nephew, Mr Wm. Ross, formerly of Petrolia, who met his death in a rail- way accident in Chicago. Mrs Ross immediately hastened to Petrolia, where the body was taken for inter- ment. - One day Inst week, Mr T. Cameron, of the Thames Road, Usborne, killed a cosy, in the stomach of which was found four nails, one three inch, 1 two and a half inch and 2 shingle nails. How the nails got there is a mystery, as the cow did not show symptoms of anything wrong. On Tuesday of last week, while leav- ing the post office, Mr M. Hutchison, of Goderich, suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, the effects manifesting them- selves while he was driving home. By the time he reached his residence he was unable to speak, and was at once placed under medical treatment. For the past two days his condition has been somewhat Improved and he will doubtless be able to be about again as usual in a short time. From the Grandin (North Dakota) Chronicle we learn that a young lady formerly of Tur nberry,in the person of Miss Seraph Blackwel, daughter of Mr Geo. Blackwell, has been distinguish- ing herself, having won a medal in a Demorest elocutionary contest. There were seven candidates in the contest, Miss Blackwell reciting "The Martyred Mother," and carrying off the honors. The Chronicle says that the verdict of the judges was unanimously approved by the assemblage. Perhaps the biggest single sale of dressed hogs which `has ever taken place in Wingham, occiirred on Tues- day. when Mr P. Troy, of East Wa- wanosh, brought to town a load which aggregated 5,145 pounds. Mr A. Burkholder being the purchaser. Troy accepted $8.40 per cwt. for his pork, thus realizing the goodly sum of $432.18 therefor. A peculiar event occurred on Sabbath last in the village of Gorrie when it was discovered in the home of Mr Henry Perkins that there were present three Postmasters with their wives, three assistant Postmasters, three operators and. three music teachers. The names of the postmasters ere Messrs Perkins' Timmins and Farrow. The occasion was the opening of anew Methodist church there. PRESENTATION. The following is the address that accompanied the presentation to Mrs Julian Wall, from the members of the Roman Catholic church, Clinton, last week, read by Miss M. Brown, the pre- sentation being made by Mr T. Rey- nolds : MRS. JULIAN WALL—DEAR FRIEND, —We assemble here this evening to tender you our sincere thanks for the valuable services you have rendered us during the past term, as organist in our church. Although your services were freely given, yet none could per- form a duty in a more efficient manner. It would then seem un rateful in us to allow you to depart without expressing our sincere thanks. We desire to show our appreciation of your noble efforts, on behalf of the congregation of Clinton, beg of you to accept this silver individual tea set, accompanied by a half dozen of gold lined spoons, as a slight token of gratitude. In con- clusion, it is our earnest hope that we may often meet, and with this hope comes a ray of brightness into night's dark sorrow. We pray that heaven's choicest blessing may ever be yours and that you may have a pleasant journey to your home. It is With deep sorrow we say farewell. Signed on behalf of the congregation of the Catholic church, Clinton. MRS R. S. GtGEN, MRS J. FLYNN, MRs J. REYNOLDS, Mins M. BitoWit. THE CLiWTOAT Not Motu Rohb's Rolla The following is a synopsis of the re- port of Inspector Robb on the state of the schools in East Huron, submitted to the County Council. • 60U00r, nouns AND 3B0UND8, There are 80 sehool corporations in this inspectorate and 88 school bonses. These are classed as follows;,—Brick, 28; stone, 8; frame, 66; and one log. The estimated value of the school houses and grounds is $108,270; of furniture and equipment, 613,995. During the year 896 trees were planted. A very neat brink school house was built in school section No. 18, Howiok, costing $519. During the present year new briok school houses will be built in school sections No.6, Howiok, and No. 8, Morris. During the past two years I have made a special effort to have every school supplied with the necessary maps, a globe and an unabridged dictionary. I am more than pleased with my success. Every school in this division is supplied with a good school globe, except No. 6, Hullett; No's 3, 4, 8,,9, 16 and 18, Howiok; No's 3 and 6 Turnberry and No. 9, Tucker - smith. Most of Viese will have globes next year. One Board of Trustees, however, from conscientious motives, -refuses to get one. Many of the schools have unabridged dic- tionaries. STATISTICS OF ATTENDANCE There were 8,240 pupils enrolled in the schools of this division during 1892. Of these 4,243 were boys and 3,997 girls. 580 attended less than twenty days during the year; 998 between 20 and 50 clays; 1,618 between 51 and 100 days: 1,955 between 1-11 and 150 days; 2,649 between 151 and 200 days; 395 between 201 days and the whole year. 179 children between the ages of 8 and 14 did not attend' any school. These figures should keep us from too much pride as to the superiority of our school system. It must not be forgotten, however, that the newspaper is now a great educator and that many children who are unable to at- tend school, are really.self-educating them- selves by means of the family newspaper; also one of the uses of lessons assigned for home work is that many a boy reviews and increases his own knowledge while assisting a brother or sister in preparing lessons for next day's school. THE TRUANCY ACT By comparing the percentages of at- tendance for the years 1891 and 1892 it will be seen that the Truancy Aot passed in 1891 has had no appreciable effect in -raising the average attendance of pupils. The Municipal Councils of Wingham, Sea - forth, Clinton, Brussels and Blyth ap- pointed truant officers. In these places I believe that the Act has done good service. The average attendance of Blyth has been raised 7 per cent and Brussels 12 per cent. There was a great deal of sickness among the children of Wingham, Seaforth and Clinton during 1892. As it was, however, the attendance of Seaforth has been raised one per cent and Wingham five per cent. CLASSIFICAIION OF PUPILS AND STUDIES There are 1,406 in the first pert of the first book; 1,030 in part second; 1,424 in the second book; 1,967 in the third book; 2,047 in the fourth book and 366 in the fifth book. 3,541 study music; 1,762 -Tem- perance and Hygiene; 392 book keeping and 406 agriculture. All these in the fifth class have passed the entrance examina- tion into the High School, bat have return• ed to the Public School. In nearly every cane they are better at the Public School for one year after passing the Entrance than to go at once to a High School. Some teachers abd trustees object to the Fifth class in the Public Schools. Where pupils come properly prepared a Fifth class mast be taught. Up to 1891 the subjects of Temperance and Agriculture were bonus subjects at the entrance examination. In 1891 they were made optional subjects—that is a pupil need not take the subject, but if he does he must take one-third and one-half of the marks as in the compulsory subjects. There are but 18 rural schools in which music is taught. Since about "seventy-five per cent of the teachers are quite compet- ent to teachmusic, this is not as it should be. Next year I hope all teachers will make an effort to do something at it. Singing is an excellent safety valve to let off surplus noise, and a pleasant interruption to the usual routine of the school. There are 392 pupils studying book- keeping. I know of no subject more useful or suitable for the ordinary "winter pupil" than book-keeping; the keeping of alarm ac- counts, store accounts and a mechanic's books.

I do not think mach reliance can be placed on their accuracy. The numbers in the second columns are made up from the school registers and are quite accurate. There has been a decrease of over 300 each year in the number enrolled the pre- cedingyear. TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES There were 123 teachers in this division. There was one first class; 62, second plass; and 59, third Blase teachers. There was also one county first class certificate. There were neither permits nor temparory certi- ficates in this division. The majority of the teachers were Normal trained, 62 hav- ing attended the Normal Schools. There were 65 males and 58 female teachers in 1892. AVERAGE SALARY The average salary of the male teachers in the townships, ie $373; in the villages, $550 and in the towns, $759. The average salary of the female teachers for townships, $276; for villages, $272 and for towns, $298. During the past three years there has been a steady decline in the salaries of male teachers and a alight increase in the sal- aries of female teachers. Whether it be for weal or woe, female teachers aro slowly, but surely displaoing male teaohere, If they do men's work as well as men, they should 1"redeive teen's pay. Children Cry for , Pitehsr's.

The great attraction being a gold and two silver medals granted every year to those who take the three places at this examination. For many years candi- dates from Howick have secured two or three of these medals. Last year -Howick secured three. This year two pupils from S.S. No. 17, Howiok, obtained—one, the gold medal, and the other, the first silver medal. William Mahood won the gold medal and Milton Carter the silver medal. This school was badly run down when Mr Walters took charge of it. Now it is doing well and has taken the rank it should have held under good management. PROMOTION EXAMINATION During the year two promotion examina- tions were held, one -in March and one in October. • Your inspectors prepared a "Course of Study" for theseexaminttions, and sent a copy to ,every Public School teacher in the oonnty. This pamphlet was found so useful that many of our teauhere when they go to teach in a county where there is no such guide send for one to use them. i MODEL SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS There were 27 teachers in ;training at- tended the Model School at Clinton during the last half of 1992, and 19 at Goderioh. At the final examination in December all passed but one. Both • Model Schools are doing excellent work for the county. INSPECTION During the year I have visited every school in this division twice, once in each half year. Daring my visit I not only saw ,the teacher, but also tested the progress of the pupils. At the close of my visit 1of- fered such suggestions to the teacher as I thought would be useful in conducting the work of the school. These hints were us- ually well received, and I have every rea- son to believe were of great use to the teacher. Of the 123 leachers in this division, 119 did good work during the year, some of them excellent work. Four were failures, of these, two will do well in their next schools, and two will never make teachers. I may add that none of these are teaching in this division at present. In my report of 1891, I mentioned the a ant of punctuality on the part of a few teachers. This has almost wholly disap- peared. TEACHERS' INSTITUTES A very successful Teaohere' institute was helel at Seaforth on May 2nd and 3rd. Tbere were 67 teachers reported as having attended. These institutes are of great service in ibringing the teachers together, in discussing new methods of teaching, and in arousing the enthusiasm of the teacher in his work. The next Institute will be held at Wingham on the 2nd and 3rd of March. It will be,conducted by Mr Wm Houston, the newly appointed director of Teachers' Institutes. If School trustees were to attend these meetings, and thus see that the aims and ends of these are for the improvement of the schools, and not for the personal ad- vantage of the teachers, they would not grndge the two days yearly which these institutes take from the actual number of teaching,days. CONCLUSION I am well satisfied with the results of the work of the year. ' Nearly all the school houses are now in good repair and well supplied with maps and globes. I hope to be able in a few years to report that every school has its clock and school bell as well as a wood -shed and the neces- sary outbuildings. The greater number of the teachers did their beet during the year. and I am satis- fied that there is no other inspectorate containing the same number of teachers that has as many- faithful and enthusiae. tic teachers as East Huron. HIGH LIVING, if you keep at it, is apt to tell upon the liver. The things to prevent this are Dr. Pierce's Pleas- ant Pellets. Take one of these little Pellets for a correc- tive or gentle laxa- tive — three for a cathartic. They're the smallest, easiest to take, pleasantest and most natural in the way they act. They do permanent good. Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, Sick or Bilious Head- ache, and all derangements of the liver, stomach, and bowels, are prevented, relieved, and cured. They're guaranteed to give satisfaction in every case, or your money is returned. The worst cases of Chronic Catarrh in the Head, yield to Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. So certain is it that its mak, ers offer $5oo reward for an incurable case.
