OUR LOOAL RULERS.—Sone people seem to think that the executive head, the presiding officer, the ohair• man, of a body has the full control and power to make and unmake the past, preeeut or future. TILE NEws ltEcous does not think so. In fact we know that such au officer has not such power. The duty of a presiding officer is to maintain order and carry out the rules of debate. Just now we are reminded that Mayor McTaggart should boom the town and curry out this, that and the other thiel;. He it an executive officer, of course. But his 'duties are defined to a very large extent. He can make suggestions, and so ou, hut he is powerless unless a ma- jority of the Board act. Our Council should be morn progressive in the future than they have been in the past. They should be united. But the ex• ecutive officer should not be expected to take upon himself the work of the various individual members. The Mayor, THE NEWS -RECORD has faith, will perform his duties well. But the ouward march of progress devolves largely upon the .Council and wo look to the members for future pros- perity or retrogression to a large extent at least. THE LATE J. J. FISHER.—J. J. Fisher, oue of the Huron pioneers, is dead. His age was about 78 years; a native Canadian, born in the town- ship of Vaughan, County of York. In the year 18.28, in the town of Gode- rich, he worked at carpentering and a year or two after removed, with his father, to Colborne, and helped to survey a part of that township. lu 1832, Mr. Fisher's father got a doed from the Canada Company for '5,465 acres of bush land. In 1839 he took up a farm of 500 acres, and Boon after getting married settled on his laud and continued to reside on it until the time of his death. The property at that time was a dense wilderness. By hard word, perseverance and energy he succeeded in converting it into a corn• Portable homestead. He was princi• pally known as a horse importer, and was one of the first to import Clydes- dale etallions from Scotland to this County. The splendid reputation which Huron las enjoyed for its horses is due in no small degree to the enter- prise of Mr. Fisher. He imported tine stallions from the old country. Like moat other horse importers he had varying fortunes in this line, and his losses must have fully counterbal• anted hs profits. Ile did more to benefit the county than he reaped ad- vantage himself. Mr. Fisher was twice married. His first wife was Nancy Pannabaker. She died in 1872 leaving a family of ten children, 6 sons and 4 daughters. The sons are Isaac and Amos, who reside on farms in Colborne; Joseph P., who resides in Welton; Benjamin, Henry and Jacob, who reside in 1)akotn, Minnesota and Iowa, respectively. The daughters are, Mrs. Geo. Nott, Tuciceramith; Mrs. Jas. Gledhill and Mrs. Geo. Burton, Petrotia, and Mrs. Thomas McMichael, Hullutt. His secoud wife was Eliza - both Weber. She, with a family of five children. survives hint. 'Ihoy still reside on the hornestead farm. Ile was a consistent member of the Methodist church for 41 years, and an active Liberal in politics. He was esteemed by all who knew him for his sterling honesty and uprightness of character, and his death is a loss to the community iu which be so lougresided. Until about two years ago he enjoyed the most rugged health, but since then he had been troubled a great deal with an eilinent of the heart. About four weeks ago he took u severe attack of in- flammation of the lungs, from which he never recovered. He was a severe but patient sufferer, and seeming to realize that his time hue. come and being fully prepared, he appeared not only ready but glad to depart. Ho leaves behind, a mourning widow,l5 children, 43 grandchildren and 5 great grand- children. His death causes another blank in the ranks of Huron's noble pioneers. T}tey were grand men, but the number is rapidly growing smaller year by year, and with each departure comes memories both joyful and sad i There are few of the departed who do• serve to retain a better place in the memory of out people than "old Joe Fisher," as he was so familiarly known, and was his wont,,jocularty, to refer to himself, AUCTIONEER ()AIMING waft in E etor Net week.

We notice that Goderich and Biddulph districts also postroned their annual meetings ou account of the storm. Tau F. 13. S. S. C.

But we were not quite aware that the editor of Tux NEws•Ils. CORD was full bred. We suppose, though, on the line of the remarks made by Mr. N. Robson at the recent St. Andrew's dinner in Clinton, Chet a man is all the batter for being "crossed." The Scottish Canadian says, although ther3 is surely a mistake somewhere :—"The notoriety which Mr. A. M. 'Todd has obtained in connection with the Burns MSS. contro- versy will doubtless tend to give a fillip to the new editions of his works now in the press. An enlarged volume of his poems is to appear shortly after the New Year, and will contain his auto- biography -the story of "hie early strug• glee, his literary aspirations, and his solitary wanderings among the poetic scenes and the lonely martyr graves of the mountains and moors of Scotland' —together with hitherto unpublished reminiscences of Burne, who was well known to Mr. Todd's father, the latter being lona; engaged in agricultural pur- suits, and only nine years younger than She poet." Of course our father from bis youth up followed agricultural pur- suits all his lite and spent years in Scot- land as well as "solitary wanderings among the poetic scenes and the lonely martyr graves of the mountains and moors of Snotlanli"—hut—well, he was an Irishman. The ,','vo'tialr. (-onndinn will kindly explain. \Ve are proud of the Scotch, but have a very warm corner in our heart for the Irish also.
