Wise WORDS.—In `Toronto Sat-
urday Night, March 4th, Don has a
very good article on the beat method
of keeping the ei'dewalks free from
snow. A little "Home Rule" on this
stybjeot might have benefitted the peo–
ple of Clinton had it been properly
the last three menthe. rmulated and ppt in practice. It is oefully
discouraging, for a scattered few of the
iphubitants, to clean the side path in
front .eaf their premises, in the hope
fhet their neighbors•may follow so
-seri example and find their toil 'hati.
been in vain. We would suggest that
the corporation own a snow plough,
and send it along every street in town
whenever the snow fall has exceeded
six inches. Will the Mayor and Coun-
cil please reflect on this matter and
prepare for next winter.

MR. Geo. Co; of Detroit, has been
at the Rattenbury House this week
buying horses. He says there is a fair
demand for first -glass horses, and if the
farmers could be persuaded to raise
none but the beat, the standard would
soon become high enough to suit the
most fastidious buyer.
Ova horsemen in Clinton have been
iuvited by Exeter to a three minute
race for horses owned in Huron county

mer meeting. Now, as we have several
likely trotters in town, among them
being Lack Kennedy's two colts, Joe
Copp's, John Beacom's and Mr.
Doherty's fast steppers, we would
advise Clinton Turf Club to arrange at
once a stallion race and a two and
three year old colt race, for Huron
horeee only. Entries to be made
April let, with a small payment, say
$5, and the balance when the race
takes place in August. Let there be a
move made at once.

and wo are inn that all present were
convinced of the truth of his argu-
ments He clearly showed how the
Maccabees were one of the foremost of
those societies in advancement, and
based on as solid .financial foundation,
for in Canada alone during the last eight
months tho Order has increased more
than 50 per cent. So that Keens

ANOTHER VIEW. —THE News -RE -
corm is deeply pained to see that excel-
lent and highly conceit—no, we mean
conscientious—journal, the Goderich
Star, publishing those deceptive and
fraudulent Yankee lands for sale as the
best in the world. We gathered from
what our cotemporary has said edi-
torially for years that these lands were
worse than worthless compared with
our own grand Canadian Northwest,
and that the Grit praises of thein were
nothing less than selling a free country
to become slaves to a foreign flag;
that the traitorous utterances of the
Opposition were such deception that
the Star would never—no never—lend
its columns for such a purpose. Were
we mistaken or is this the work of the
editor during the absence of the office
help ? Our readers are warned to
beware of Yankee advertisements and
investigate the strong claims of our
own Canadian lands as fertile, cheap,
and allotted for our own race and kin—
the Canadian and British people.

ANOTHER VISIT.—As requested, the re-
porter paid a visit to the 25 Club last week.
rhe Club Minstrels were having a full dress
rehearsal. The sight which met our eyes was
ono of sufficient brilliancy to satisfy an eastern
potentate. The reporter asked the Master of
Ceremonies bow such a rich effect was pro
duced. Ho answered that it was because the
material used in snaking the costumes were
valuable silks and laces. • Our costumes, said
he, will cost over $50. We are sparing no
pains iu having the opening scene attractive.
They then went on with the performance.
The reporter noticed a great improvement
since he was there last, especially in the
chorus, it being steadier and showed signs of
careful training. Tho musical director, Mr.
Spaulding, is a hustler, and is ably assisted
by Mr. Harland. Tho end men were very
funny. The reporter was told there would be
a great many local hits, but was not told what
they were as they would lose their relish*hen
he heard them on the night of the concert.
He then took his departure as the entertain-
ment was at an end.
