FROM THE QUEEN CITY.—The To ronto Pen and Scissors says :—"THE HURON NEWS RECORD entered upon its 15th volume, on the 4th inst., and does SO very hopefully for the future. Good." MR. A. M. TODD, editor of THE CLINTON NEWS•RECORD, Bays the To- ronto Pen and Scissors, was caned on Christmas morning.

Long may he find it an efficient staff. Beerete ANNIVERSARY.—North Huron County will celebrate the Battle of the Boyne at Blyth on July 12. Invita- tion circulars are out and there is sufficient guarantee that everything will be carried out to perfection. Nothing else could be expected with such names attached to the circular as Bros. J. Willford, Thos. McElroy, Jae. Gibson, John McGill and John Sher- ritt. Town Topics. Miss RANCE is visiting friends in London. MIse NETTIE CODinE has returned to Toronto University. DR. TURNBULL left for New York Monday. Miss M. MOLAREN, of Cromarty, is among friends iu Clinton. MRS. HOARE, of Strathroy, was visit- ing her daughear, Mrs. Tiadall, last week. Miss HATTIE POPE has returned to Madison, Wis., after a visitof two weeks in town. YOUNG Pursue MEN:—Last week we said that Mayor -elect Geo. D. McTag- gart was probably one of the -youngest Mayors Clinton has ever had. We understand ex -Mayor D. A. For roger, wheu first elected, was a year or so younger than Mr. MoTaggart. GOOD TIMES.—A short time ago a farmer a short distance from Tyrconnol counted out his tax money and placed it on a atand by an open window. A gust of wind took a $10 bill and a $1 bill out thxough the window, and although search was at once made, they were never recovered. STILL THEY Co31E.—Mesere. Whitely & Todd, of THE CLINTON NEWS - RECORD, have dieeolved partnership, the former retiring to the office of Col- lector of Customs. Mr. Todd, who continues the busiuees, is a newspaper man of consicerable experience.—The Toronto Printer azul Publisher. OUR 'PERMS.—Subscribers are re- minded that T eNEws-RECORD is $1.25 per year, strictly cash in advance; $1.50 when not so paid ; and that those terms will be adhered to. This is the time of the year when subscrip• tions should be paid --and all arrears wiped out. A hint to subscribers should be sufficient. GOING To GoDERwn.—Mr. J. H. Worsen, for some years foreman in the tin department of Harland Bros., will in the course of a couple of months leave for Goderieh. He has accepted a responsible position and interest in Alex. Saunders' West street business there. We regret to learn or Mr. Worsell's contemplated removal from Clinton, but can say to the people of Goderich that he will make a vory desirable citizen. In another column he advertises his two houses for sale or rent. NOT VERY TRUTHFUL —A young woman who gave her name as Maggio Kennedy, and who claimed to come from Stratford, was in Clinton last Friday. She was looking for employ- ment, so she said, and with tears stream• ing down her cheeks told a plausible tale of hardship and dietrese. Sho was secured a situation in one of the most respectable families in town. But peo• ple of the Judas class are sure to bo found out. The young woman told so many lies that enquiries pointed to her belonging to Seaforth• A .House of Correction world be very good quarters for this individual. A similar visit to Clinton can hardly fail making her a worthy inmate of the stone house in the county town, and that is likely whero she may yet find quertere. A HASTY DEPARTURE.—A mechanic, who is said to be a married man, left Clinton in haste not many days since. Ahd he did not leave any too soon if all reports are true. He became en- amored of a respectable young lady ; he sang in the choir, &c. &c. The road of the transgressor is hard, though. Epistles of a loving nature passed to and fro. But his courtship was brought to a very sudden termination and he was anxious to leave for pastures new. And in parting. he neglected 'to make things square at his boarding house until an officer of the la w stopped in and said "No you don't." He was then allowed to de- part and boarded the train for Galt. If THE NEws•REcoRD was of the sensa• Lionel class of journals two or three colarnrs would be spade out of those few linea. THE OTHER SIDE —President Van Horne, of the Canadian Pacific, denies that his company has any connection with the salt works at Windsor. He says :—"When the salt combine went eo far as to close the works at Wing - ham. the only salt works on the line of the Canadian Pacific, we determined to try a radical remedy, in the intereet of both the company and the consumer', and since the railroad company could not properly engage in such an enter- prise, some of us took hold of it as a private matter, and works at Windsor are the result. The Canadian Pacific Co. has nothing to do with those works although those whe started them had its benefit chiefly in view." He adds that the works will have nothing to do with any combination. i Town Topics. NIRS. HOARE,of Clinton, was visiting her daughter at Bruseele last week. Miss GAULEY came from Brussels to Clinton to attend the funeral of her late brother. MISS M. SHAW, of Bruese.ls, was guest of her brother, Dr. Shaw, week. THE WOODSTOCK Sentinel Review, of the best of Provincial papers, peered in a new dross of type week. the last TOn Topics. SHEEP.—No lees than nine loads of sheep came hum the country to Cliutun Saturday. MITousee Recorder:—Mr. and Mrs. Roht. Choweu, of Clinton, spout New Years with their friends here. Mrs. Choweu assisted the Drain street choir. THIS week TuENEws RECORD devotes one considerable space to thee Governor np- General. In deiug so wo plaue our Lest country before politics and minor local matters. NEW BUSINESS.—Mr. T. C. Mc- Donough has opened areal estate, loan and fire and life insurance office in Cooper's block. He is a gentleman of experience and there should be a rea- sonably good opeuing. He will also collect route and aceounte, rent houses etc., and has been appointed ,valuator for the British -Canadian Loan and In- vestment Company, of Toronto, and the Hamilton Provident and Loan Society. A130UT ADVERTISING.—One Of the advertisers in the Mitchell Recorder has ceased to advertise in that paper because the editor is of the independ- ent class. The Recorder remarks:— As will be noticed this week Mr. J. W. Dale has dropped his advertise- ment into Mr. Hord's vacated space. If Mr, fiord does not learn to conduct himself in a more rational and reasonable spirit, Mr. Dale will drop by rapid &groes into his busi- nese. CIIEESE AND BUTTER.—A repreeenta• tive dairy meeting is being hold in Loudon this week. The fact of a meeting of this kind reminds us that there are opeuings in this section for several cheese and dairy factories. In many previous issues of THE NEws REeu1D the have referred to the pro- gress made by establishments of the kind. \Vhep a gentleman is shown that the investment of a dollar will bring profitable return, he does not hesitate to invest if the capital is at his command. Our farmers must turn their attention to the pro- duction of other than grain for the market. We personally know farmer friends who raise only enough— sometimes not enough—wheat to bread themselves. Their attention has been directed to the profitable production of stock. A study has been made with the object of being success- ful. And the man who engages in any undertaking and• Faye special attention to it, with reasonably favorable circumstances, is almost euro to succeed. Comparisons, Sometimes, are odious. Two farmers reside with in a stone throw of each other. The one, by easing his thoughts with an object in view aad devoting his labors to mixed farming, has made and saved money. His land has been enriched, brought to superior state of cultivation and greatly enhanced in value. Build- ing improvemente have been made at a great cost and paid for. New imple- ments and improved machinery have taken the place of the more antiquated. The surroundings of the farm all in dicate a spirit of progress, thrift and general prosperity. The other farmer has followed on the old line. He hae worked hard, very hard indeed. Crops have sometimes been a failure and as often prices. ruled low. No improve- ments are to be seen and the land is well run down. The old implements and machinery are still . doing duty. Both men have had the Same opportuni- ty, though. The picture to be drawn or lesson to be learned is that Ontario farmers trust go more into mixed farm- ing. Cheese and butter making and hog raising are among the moat import- ant, we thiink,andswor•thy consideration. Mr. Plumeteel, of the dry -goods store, informs us that 'he would not hesitate to engage in this line if his two farms were closer together. Ho thoroughly believes, as we co, that there is no branch of the farm that there is as much direct and quick pro- fit in as dairying, Mr. D. A. For- rester is of the same opinion and will •eventually convert his McAllieter farm and engage in dairying. The whole western Ontario district is moving in the same direction. Sections or muni- cipalities or individuals that take hold of this profitable industry first will reap the greatest benefit. The '-Huron Cheese Company, in Bruce County, adjoining Huron, last year paid out to a few farmers over $18,000. And out of that handsome num the salaries for officers amounted to only $176. The great bulk of the $18,000 went direct into the pockets of the farmers. If Mr. Forrester or Mr. Plumeteel would take hold and organize a company we believe there would be a profitable and lasting return. The demand will never cease. And the supply is not now and will not for many years ex- ceed the demand. If Clinton had a Board of Trade a representative would find excellent food for thought by at- tending the convention at London this week. Since we have no Board of Tr.rdo, it is the duty of some of our town couneillore to study out the mat• for and bring it before our town legis• latois. GRAND RE -UNION .—A movement is on foot to have a grand re -union of the Methodists in the town of Clinton. As is known, the R•lttenbury street Methodists have given an order for an immense and costly pipe organ. It is expected that arrangements will bo completed and the organ in position by the 5th of March. A proposition, which will in all probability come into effect, is that invitations be issued to all former pastors and choir and church members to take part in a grand re -union in the church on or about that date. Tho idea is not specially to make monoy, bat to celebrate the event. Mr. Art Depew, B, M., will, it is likely, preside at the new organ. Ho is leader oflthe choir and presides at tho organ of one of the largest churches (Presbyterian) in Detroit. The event promises to be ono of the happiest and moat pleasing in the his• tory of the church and will he looked forward, to with intense interest, THE CLINTON NEWS RECORD eater's upon its fifteenth year with the issue of this week. THE NEws• itEOoru is a good looal paper and deserves the success it is meeting with,—Wingham Tinges. Mies Lena Fisher, second daughter of the late A. S. Fisher, an honored citizen of this town, who eight years ego moved to Denver, Col., is visiting friends iu town, the guest of the Misses Taylor. ONE OF THE BEST. --The St. Marys Leader says:—" THE CLINTON NEWS - RECORD ' published a sixteen -page Christmasor New Year's nutnber. THE NEWS RECORD is oua of the best local newspapers in Outario." The issue comprised 96 columns, over 70 of which were choice readiug matter. HE WAS CANED —The London Free Press says: Mr. A. M, Todd, of TFIE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, was the ree,,i• pient of a gold headed cane from Mr. Ben Sheppard, of the "Soo," a few days since. The wood is from the vessel overtaken on Lake Erie in 1813 by American war sailors. RUNAWAY. — Mr. John Beacom's team had a narrow escape on Saturday. He was delivering pork at Perrin's storehouse and the horses took fright. The train was coming in and the ani- mate crossed in front. The hind part of the sleigh was caught. There was some damage, but a great calamity was thus providentially avoided, THEY WILL BE Missso.—There will be several good mon missed at the corn- ing County Council meeting. But among themissing se venturetosay that none will cause greater regret than the absence of ex Reeve Beck, of Colborne. Ex.Reeve Kaiue, of Howick, is among the slain; Reeve Manning, of Clinton, we regret to say, retired owing to ill health. Reeve Bawden, of Exeter had to give way to an old timer like Dr. Rollins. There are others, too, that. will be missed. But probably none more than Joseph Beck. SAD DEATH.—A sad death was that of W. G. Gouley last week. His age was but 27 years. By profession he was a teacher and some years ago taught school. at Summerhill and after- wards clerked in Cantelon Bros. gro- cery store in Clinton. His future promised to bo bright and successful. He went to Denver, Col., but his ro bust form gave way and he returned. The story is short, but sad. The once strong young man of promise is no more. A succession of severe colds in a strange land resulted in consumption and an early grave. We extend our sympathy to the sorrowing relatives. the pledge longer than usual. The first was tau Sunday anti the second was election day, both of which dugs were "dry" ones. But even two dry days was a pretty long droughty time at the festive season.—The9.15 Monday even- ing train did not reach Goderich until about six o'clock Tuesday morning. The coaches and pasaeneers remained in the Holmesville "cut" all Bight, the engine, only managing to get through. All trains blocked and late yesterday.

SCHOOL MATTERS. To the Editor of The Ness -Record: In your last issue you published my re- port which, owing to its brevity, and in the absence of explanations, may convey the impression that the teacher was a mere hireling, and simply killing time to get his pay. The reason why the work done due ing the model term each year is not satisfac- tory cannot be fully explained in the columna of the newepapere, and most of thein have been given to the board: SutEoe it to say that no assistant of mine has shirked duty. It is a difficult position owing to its temporary na ture, and sometimes teachers do too much and pupils are allowed to do too little. The report ehould not have been published as without explanations given to board, it was unjust to my assistants and their labors aro sufficiently onerous without the oeneure of the priucip d. Yours respectfully, W. R. Lorton. [El, Note.—The above was intended for last week.] UNSOLICITED TESTIMONY. Detroit, Jan. 2, 1893. To the Editor of The News -Record.
