Mayor McTaggart, Reeve McMurchie, Deputy -reeve Ken- nedy, Councillors Jones and Overberry in St. John's Ward, and Mc1llurras and McKenzie in St.James' Ward,were all \elected by acclamation. So that there were contests only in St. An- drew's and St. George's Wards. In St. Andrew's Ward Jacob Taylor head- ed the poll with 83, A Armstrong 76, J. J'ohnston 56. In St. George's W. C. Searle came to the surface with a vengeance and beaded the poll with 86, S. G. Illutnrner 78, S. J. Andrews 57. Andrews and Johnston suffered defeat. The vote on the House of Industry rind cow questions resulted as follows : For and against allowing cows to run at large. . St. Andrew's For 46 Against 41 ,St. James' " 32 " 50 I St. John's " 29 " 68 I St. George's " 49 68 156 227 156 Majority against 71 On the cow question the vote was small, only a total. of 383 being polled for and against, while there was a total vote of 421 polled on the House of Industry question. The vote by wards for and against the latter stood : St. Andrew's. For 115 against 9 St. James' 44 75 7 St. John's 46 95 " 3 St. George's " 108 " 9 393 28 28 Majority for 365 ELECTION ECHOES. No less than three Mayors have owned and occupied the same residence in Clinton. Mayor McTaggart owns and occupies the residence built by ex - Mayor A. S. Fisher, now deceased. And Mr. McTaggart purchased the property from ex Mayor Doherty. Who ever heard or knew of ex - councillor Andrews having his picture, either ttt his own or the town's ex- pense, in the Mail I Jacob Taylor is as proud as a mother of her first born, And he has reason. to be. John Johnston has reason to feel that he has friends and 'Deny of them. Thirty•ronr "plumper!'" for him is a strong indication in that way. Jones and Overberry and McKenzie • CLINTON. HURON COUNTY, ONT., WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 4, 143 and McMurray look safe and feel as aafe as they look. They had no oppoai• tion and this speaks well for the non• duct of the latter two old councillors at least. Searle will, so they say, be "at it again," and before the year is out Reeve McMurchie and he will brace up and have a "band•to•band." Many are the expressions of regret through ex -reeve Manning's nawe not appearing among the fiat. The poor cow will roam no more and now the Council, by the voice of the people, will see that the long grass le kept short and tidy. Of course it will cost something, but the people will not object to pay fur what they des mend. Clinton has given a decided verdict in favor of a House of Industry. There is no uncertain sound about the figures, The Council should remodel the Snow bylaw or see that the present law is carried out. The old Councillors who have drop- ped out or been left at home will be greatly wissed. 0. S. Doan, especially, has served the town faithfully for a great many years. The new Council should take hold and formulate plans for the advance - went of th,, town and the establisbing of new industries here. Among many other things the new Council should endeavor to establish in Clinton are : A proper sanitary system, A pork factory, A cheese and butter factory, A canning factory, A furniture factory, and show neighboring towns and the purchasing public and the electors that we are a progressive people. The peo- ple will back up anything that is a paying investment. 0. S. Doan is one of the retiring veterans. He served the town faith- fully for 15 years. The years in which he served were 1861, 1862, 1867, 1865, 1869, 1873, 1875, 1876, 1877, 1880, 1883, 1884, 1890, 1891, 1892. He is a Father Councillor and retires with honors and without being beaten. Ex.Mayor Joseph Whitehead was elected the first Reeve of Clinton in 1858. The Reeves who followed, Home of them deceased, are : S. H. Rance, Geo. Brown, Joseph White- head, W. W. Farren. In 1875 the late Robert Callander was elected Mayor, then followed A. S. Fisher, S. Make/neon, W. W. ' Ferran, W. C. Searle, D. A. Forrester, Dr. Williams, Joseph Whitehead, W. Doherty, and Geo. D. McTaggart in 1893. The late A. S. 'Fisher followed Robert Callander as Reeve, then Joseph Chidley, E. Corbett, . A. McMurchie, A. H. Man - nine, and again A. McMurchie in 1893. D. R. Menzies was elected the first deputy -reeve in 1878, following came Capt. Wm. Sheppard, the fate 'Thomas Cooper, Jas. Thompson, Wm. Coats (the present town clerk), the late E. Corbett, A. H. Manuing and D. B. Kennedy, the tatter of whom still holds the position. - TOWN LEGISLATURE. The last meeting of the town council of 1892 was held on Monday evening.

Webb, cemetery, 65o.; W.-Wheetely, $1.50; Receipts -weigh scales, $16 70; total amountof taxes collected, $8,560. The matter of having the sidewalk from the Garnd Union to the station kept clear of snow at the town's expense was informally discussed. The general feeling of the Council was that that particular walk should be kept clean, but not at the towns sole expense. No action was taken, Coen. McKenzie'emotion notbe- ing seconded. Charity Committee re- commended and Council ordered a cord of wood for Mrs. R. Autterson. The closing of the Roll was further extended to the 16th, to close then without fail. Council then adjourn- ed. • Do You? -We are more than pie as• ed with the very large addition to THE NEws RECORD eubscription list during the last few weeks. Every day now shows a marked increase.

SOME INFORMATION FOR OUR READERS ABOUT A REPUTABLE PLACE OF LEARNING, The town of Clinton has long been noted for the splendid educational in- stitutions here. What THE NEws•RE- CORD is about to say is not for the pur• pose of giviug free advertising or the like. What will follow is not an ad- vertisement of the paid for class and our only desire is to let the general public and those who desire education know what the Clinton Collegiate Institute's able dtalf are capable of doing. With a gentleman at the head of the stair such as JOHN HOUSTON, M. A., should be a auf?icient guarantee that t.be very best results must be forth- coming.
