RECORD congratulates Mr. James Fair,
jr., on the addition to his household
yesterday morning of a daughter.
GOOD VALUE.—As a local and gen-
eral family newapaper,at $1.25 a year,
THE NEWS -RECORD is ahead of any
other paper in the County of Huron.
The statment is broad, but we are
willing to personally meet all doubters
and produce the proof. THE NEWS -
RECORD is positively good value.

but would hope for the successful
operation of these machines.
NEARLY POISONED.—A family in
the north-eastern part of the town ate
canned tomatoes last Sunday and were
ill for some hours. It is said to have
been a light attack of poisoning from
eating canned goods.
SneT THEM UP.—Our attention has
been called to the fact that a few
owners of, oows still allow them to
run at large. Litigation and costs for
damages may be saved if a place of
safety is early secured for the roaming
cows.
ONTARIO STREET CHURCH .—The
annual statement presented at the ad -
journal meeting of the Quarterly Board
slows that during the year 55 persoea
united with the charch. After de-
ducting from the roll those removed
and those who have died, there is a
nett increase of 28, the present mem-
bership being 330. All financial
claims were met in full.
ANOTHER RACE.—Wheelmen are
becoming more mumerous. Those
who have just learned to ride the
"critter" hove entered for a handicap
mile dash on May 31st at 7 p. m
sharp, as follows:—J. W. Riter, 10
seconds; M. McTaggart, scratch ; II.
R. Stanbury, 3 seconds; L. Kennedy,
2 seconds, N. Fair, 2 seconds. The
race will no doubt be one of the most
interesting of the season.
GROWING .—Kearne Tent No: 66,
Knights of the Maccabees of the World,
is increasing in memberehip. Let
Friday night there was another
initiation. The twelfth anniversary
of the foundation of the order will be
celebrated on June llth. The mem-
bership has reached the grand total of
110,000, and by June 1 Ith will be
120,000. There has been paid in
benefits $2,000,000. The member-
ship is growing rapidly in Ontario.
MASON10 SERMON .---Sunday, June
25th., will be St. John's day, and will
be generally observed by the Masonic
fraternity. The Clinton Lodge has
taken the initiative, we believe, and
the brethren throughout the county
have been invited to attend St. Paul's
church, Clinton, at 2.30 p. m., when
Rev. Mr. Fairlie, Grand Chaplain, will
preach to the brethren. There will
no doubt be a large attendance. Mr.
Fairlie is well qualified to preach an
interesting and practical discourse.
PAST AND PRESENT.—Mr. Joseph
Rowell, town, was a caller at this office
the other day. The gentleman is a
town property owner and has been a
Clinton resident for many years. He
is a gentleman of considerable muni-
cipal experience. As far back as 1850
he was a member of the Toronto
Council, and chairman of the Board of
Health of the now famous city in 1853.
At that time Mr. Rowell had a black-
smith ehop. He first came to Toronto
in 1844 and resided on Queeu street,
where the city hall is now being
erected, for 19 years. In conversation
we drifted to the water supply of
Toronto and Clinton. Jr.1Rowell
quite agrees with THE NEWS -RECORD
that there should be a public inapec•
don or analysis of all well water in
Clinton. At the time-1853—when
he was chairman of the Toronto Board
of Health, the famous Asiatic cholera
scourge , was an unwelcome visitor and
bad water, he assured us, was not to be
trifled with. Away back about 1848
Mr. Rowell' was captain of the Toronto
fire company. There were private
water works in the city. He was there
when the Episcopal church was de-
stroyel by fire. Although thethen water
works system was in operation a shilling
a puncheon was paid for water and $1
for every fourth in an emergency.
Mr. Rowell remembers when the
soldiers were ordered from the garri-
son to face the fiery fiend. As captain
of the fire company he stood before the
flames until hie leather cap was burned
through to eave a printing office in the
third story of a building. The burn-
ing and danger from the flames of the
butcher stalls, the city weigh house,
Jacques & Hays factory on the lake
shore opposite the old parliament build -
lags, were all vividly recounted. But
probably the moat important thing for
any town or city is to have a good and
pure supply of water. Toronto,
though n greot. city, yet requires a
pure supply of water. The leek of it
brings death and mourning to many a
happy household.

BLACK MEASLES.—This type of die -
ewes ie very dangerous. A genuine
case in Clinton created a flutter of ex-
citement last week. Like all serious
matters, an explanation was required.
When the statement was later made
that a colored girl had the measles all
fears were easily dispelled.
MISAPPREHENSION .—There i8
good deal of misapprehension in -re-
gard to the registration of births, mar.
riages and deaths. Births must be
registered by parents within 30 days,
marriages by clergymen within 90
days and deaths by the occupiers of

tened at a parasol. The bridle gave
way and the animal made a circle by
Isaac street and across to Robins' book
store, where it came to mother earth
and was captured. 'The buggy top
left the rig at Ereerton'e harbor shop.
The harness was somewhat daniaged
and the animal considerably scratched.
There was no ono in the rig.
CLINTON PROHIBET[ONISTS.—Satnr-
day's Globe had the following :—Six-
teen prohibitionists in Clinton attach
their names to the following senti-
ment :—"We believe in prohibition
out and out. We believe the country
is ready for it. We believe there has
been too Much of the namby-pamby
style of dealing with this question.
We believe in heroic remedies for
serious disorders, and we believe. the
only way to get rid of the liquor traffic
and its consequences is to absolutely,
emphatically and unreservedly pro-
hibit the manufacture or importa-
tion of liquors. We believe the
plebiscite is a good thing."
MAY MATRIMONY.—Ella, adopted
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Kearns,
of Stanley; was yeeterday afternoon
married to Albert,son of Mr. James Nott,
of Tuckersmith. The knot was tried at
the Clinton Ontario street parsonage
by Rev. Mr. Smyth. Mies Mary Nott,
of the dry -goods palace, sister of the
groom, and Mr. Hugh McConnell, of
Tuckersmith, assisted the bride and
groom. The bride was attired in a
complete fawn travelling uit, trimmed
with silk lace to match, and she pre-
sented a charming apparance. The
estimable and happy young couple left
on the evening train for Petrolia to
vend the honeymoon. On their re-
turn Mr. and Mrs. Nott will be tend-

CANADIAN Cows AT CHICAGO.—H
Wade, Sec. D. S. H. B. A., writes the
Farmer's Advocate, from Chicago,
April 9th :—"Your readers will be
aware that Ontario has sent five Short
horn cows to take part in the battle
of the breeds in these great tests. The
first, which commences on Thursday,
May the llth, is for making cheese.
Unfortunately two of our cows, Fair
Maid of Hullett, owned by Mr. Wm.
Grainger, Londesboro, and Lady
Bright, owned by H. Bright of Guelph,
have not as yet dropped their calves,
although we were told by the owners that
they were due before this date. If the
rulee for the three tests as laid down and
printed were carried out this would
prevent them corning in for the second
teat of butter and general products, but
fortunately at a meeting of the Dairy
Test Committee this morning, which
I attended, they changed the rules so
58 10 admit our two tardy come and
one Guernsey sent under the same cir-
cumstances. This is an important con-
cession, and I am sure will be appre-
ciated by our Canadian people. The
unofficial test of the three cows that are
milking for the last three days is as
follows :—Waterloo Daisy, owned by
F. Martindale, of York, on the 6th
gave 49 lbs. of milk, on the 7th 51
lbs., and on the 8th 51- lbs., topping
the Shorthorn record in the barn ;
Royal Duchess, owned by J. F. Davis,
of Glanworth, on the 6th gave
41 lbs., on the 7th 41 lbs., and
on the 8th 42 lbs. of milk; March "
ionese 6th, owned by Thos. Ballan-
tyne & Son, of Stratford, on the 6th
gave 35 lbs., on the 7th 39 lbs.,
and on the 8th 40 lbs. of milk,
all averaging over 4 per cent. of
butterfat. They are all improving,
though they get nothing but dry feed
and grain.

HONESTY.—This spring, not long
since, a gentleman of Goderich town-
ship was being paid for a number of
beef cattle. By mistake he was paid
$20 too much. n, noticed the error

to find the latter eum we would be
pleased to name the honest owner.
SATURDAY NIGHT BLAZE.—Abont
9 o'clock Saturday night the fire alarm
sounded and the steamerwas soon on
the road to the tank near Doan's tan-
nery. The cottage occupied by Mrs.
Grantham, near the G. W. R. track,
was on fire. It originated in the
stable, but how remains a mystery.
The flames soon spread to the house.
Willing hands assisted the widow in
the removal of the furniture, act. Both
buildings were totally consumed.
They were owned by Mrs. M. M.
Brown. of TOronto, and were likely in-
sured. Mrs. Grantham had only been
in The house a couple of weeks and in •

be made. Her supply of wood, which
had been placed in the stable was
burned. She removed to other prem-
ises Saturday evening.
A FORTUNATE FIND.—A valuable relic
belonging to the late James Stavely
was found one day last week. Some
clothes belonging to tbe deceased hnd
beau placed outeide some time ago.
They stood the test of rain and frost
and were thoroughly aired and finally
given to a respectable and honest
woman in Clinton to make of them
whatever use she desired. After
the apparel had been thoroughly
washed, renovated and dried a pair
of pante were ripped and between the
lining and cloth, securely sewed in,
was found a bank deposit elip of paper
on the bank for $300, bearing interest
at 4 per cent. The paper bad passed
through a great deal of wear and tear,
but was in tolerably good shape and
readable. It was passed to the proper
authorities and will likely go the an •
fortunate way of the estate. The poor
but honest woman should, if poesible,
be handsomely rewarded.
