As is known :re this, Reeve McMurchie and Depu Reeve Kennedy were nominated an elected by acclamation. THE News RECORD last week said that Mr. Mc - Murchie entertained a number at an oyster supper. Thio was all true andithe party enjoyed a rightgood time at Ander- son's restaurant. But Deputy -Reeve Kennedy ehould not have been over• looked,for he at the same time tendered an oyster supper at Coat's restaurant,and, it is needless to say, ample justice was done in every respect. The great re- gret we feel is that we were unable to be prosent with the Reeve or Deputy, He who speaks last speaks best. DEATH OF A PIONEER. --Thomas Ford is no more. Last spring ho was seized with paralysie and never recover• ed. Death's hand stilled his noble heart lasariday. The name Ford hi a household word to a very largo number of NEWEI- RECORD readers. The late Tho►nas Ford was born in Scotland, of Scotch parents. Away back in 1832 he and his brothers James, John • and George emigrated from the county of Wexford, Ireland, and settled on the Maitland concession, Goderich township. His brother Henry and three sisters followed in 1836 and also made their home on the same concess- ion. .About the year 1848 tho deceas- ed marriod a Mies Turney and three sons and three daughters wore the off- spring. Mrs. Ford has been deceased 15 years. The sone James, Thomas and John are all living, while two daughters are deceased and one (Lizzie) resides on the homestead. The late Thomas Ford was a man of undoubted integrity and high moral character. In 1836.7 he was one of the sturdy pioneers who took up arms in defence of his country. He was under the command of Capt. Gooding and Col. Dunlop, name, fa. wilier to many old eettlere. His age was 83 years. He was a member of the Episcopal church, and a staunch Conservative in polities. He never looked for public honors. Tho fun- eral took place on Sunday to Goderich cemetery and was largely attended. Thus one by one the old settlers who laid the foundation of this country and hewed out homes for the present gen- eration aro committed to the earth. Peace to his ashes. SMOKING CoNOEitx.—Last Thatraday evening the atewbere of the "25" Club hold in their none a very enjoyable emokiug concert, Toe Huron .medical Aeeociation will hold their annual meeting in the Meohauioa' Institute, Seaforth, on Tuesday, Jan. 10th. To CORRESPONDENTS.—Th0ee of our correepoudonte who can do so would coufer a great favor by sending in their budgets a day or two earlier. THE NEWS RECORD has so much matter of title kind that it is often very dilfiiault, if not itnpoeeible, to get in correspond• ease when it reaches ter late. MARRIED.—Tbe following from the Wingham Times refers to a gentleman knowu to many of our town and corm try readers:—On Wedneaday morning last a happy event took place at the residence pf Mr, and Mrs. T. T. Watson, of this town, when their second daughter, Mies Amy Watson, was •Inited in wedlock to Mr. J. 5. Timmins, of Eluevale, by the Rev. W. H. Watson. After partaking of a sumptuous breakfast, the happy couple took the train for a trip to Montreal and other eaetren pointe. PLAIN TALL—An iujjvidual has been in Seaforth and thro Igh the town- ship of McKillop recent! .rading on the good name of the editor of THE NEWS - RECORD. The name the imposter and deliberate fraud has given is either Cunningham Or Corringham. We have many friends in Seaforth and Mc Killop, and we would ask them to put us close on tho track of such scoun- drels and we shall endeavor to place them behind the bars. Our friends in all parts of the county should be warn ed and beware of frauds of this or any other kind. The individual who asks for favors on the name of the editor of THE NEWS- RECORD should not be recogn- ized unless a personal certificate of good character is produced. We know no one by the name, and the plain word "fraud" should always first be consid- ered seriously. DISSOLVED.—The Canada Salt Asso- ciation, with headquarters at Clinton, dissolved last Saturday.The Secretary supplies the following to the daily press as the cause:—The Canada Salt association dissolved to -day. Although the prices charged by the association have been exceedingly moderate, and, notwithstanding the fact that the large bulk of traders are fully in sym- pathy with the arrangement, yet owing to the new wells that aro corning into operation at Mooretown, Windsor, etc., it was felt impossible to continue. The salt manufacturers feel especially aggrieved that a public institution like the C. P. R. which owee its inception and its present existence to the large sums of money that have been given to it by the tax payers of the Dominion, should condesend to enter into a need- less and wasteful competition in the manufacture of salt. The prices at which salt can now bo obtained will be low enough to satisfy the most patriotic Patron of Industry. THE EDITOR CANED.—AS a rule editors are caned with a blackthorn or a murderous weapon of some kind that means business from a determined op• position standpoint. But in this case the caning process is not that way. Tut NEWS RECORD always strikes om the shoulder and speaks in"lain A r to -Saxon terms. And the journal that is conscientious and ,just need not fear the conslquences. On Christmas tuoruing the editor of THE NEWS -RE - cows was presented with a handsome and costly gold -headed cane. The trophy 'came from a friend, of course. It happens to be a relic from away back long before the recipient wee born. Wo prize it all the more on this account. A few, very few indeed, recollect of the war of 1812 between the Ameri- cans and Canadians Our children to day are taught in the schools of the cause and effect. It is a matter of his- tory. And scholars are told in Cana- dian -school history, page 171, that the British or Canadians were overtaken on Lake Erie in 1812 or 1813 by American war sailors. The cane the editor of THE NEWS -RECORD has been presented with, is a relic and a piece of oak from the vessel overtaken. Here is what the note, from Mr. Ben Sheppard, of the "Soo," to his sister in Clinton, says: •"I send you a cane by express, addressed to you, which you will kindly rresent from me to Mr. Todd on Christmas morning. It is a kind of a relic: The wood (oak) was taken from a Canadian boat which was sunk by American war sailors during the war of 1812, supposed to be the St, Lawrence. I got the piece of wood from a lighthouse keeper end had it manufactured into a cane. The wood, as you will see, is oak . It is possible. that it is ono hundred years since the wood was cut. It was under the water for 80 years." We received the gold• headed cane on Xmas, morning as re- gneeted. On the head le engraved "A. M. TODD—Xmas, '92." We prizo the relic very highly and shall hand it down to future generations as a memen to of the heroic deeds of our ancestors and Britishers and Canadians of 1812. Canadians and Britiehers are just the same in spirit and mind and will to -day Wo sincerely thank the donor and shall endeavor to wield the gold -headed instructor, if necessary, for the main- tenance of British institutions, British law, and Canadian supremacy and inde- pendonco from internal and foreign pol- itical tricketere.

Although genuine, the bills are of no value as the banks that issued them have failed. NEWSPAPER CHANGES AND MEN.— 'I'he Lucau Iterord has changed hands. Bryant Bros, have sold the paper and business to Mr. W. H. Boden, of Toronto, who is a practical printer.— The Wingham Times has been enlarged and improved and some new type added to the plant.—Mr. W. R. Tel- ford, the new owner of the Walkerton Herald, on retiring from the princi• palehip of the public school there, was presented by the teachers and scholars with a handsome silver tea service. AN IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED.— The Expositor says :—Some time ago Mr. W. G. Duff, of this. town, became a member of, or a subscriber to what was known aa The Homo Knowledge Association. The membership fee was $12 and among other things the mem• bora were promised that they could purchase Stationery, Books &c., from the association for thirty per cent. below regular retail prices. Mr. Duff gave his note for the membership foe. Finding that the Association were unable or unwill- ing to carry out their promisee, ho re• fused to pay the note on the grounds that ho had not received value for it. The Association brought a suit in'i;ho Division Court to recover the amount. Mr. J. M. Beet, of this town, who was acting for Mr. Dutl', set up the defence that the Association, not being legally incorporated, are not entitled to sue in this county. The matter has been finally decided by Judge Doyle, who sustains tho point and gives judgment for the defendant. This is quite a vic- tory for Mr. Best as well as for the defendant, and the result will bo learn• ed with interest as there are, we under- stand, a good many in pretty much the same position that Mr. Duff' was. COMMITTED FOR TRIAL—OnFri- day Alex. Calder, who had been brought from Grand Rapids, Michigan, by Detective Allan, of London, on a charge of embezzlement preferred by John McMillan, of Blyth, came before Reeve Manning for examination. The prosecut.lr was repreeented by Mr. Proudfoot and the defendant by Mr. M. 0. Johnston. The complainant swore that Calder was in his employ during 1891 and received certain sums of money as his servant, for which he never accounted. Upon this evidence Calder was committed to stand hie trial. Of course his side of the story is yet to be heard. Ho came across the linea with- out any extradition proceedings, claim- ing his entire innocence. Both parties were woll known citizens orBlyth. Looic AFTER THE Boy.—On Satur• day in St. John's Ward n parent is said to have prutally abused a ton - year old son and turned the little fel- low on to the street.
