The third annual dinner of Murray CampSons of Scotland held '. at the ueens Hotel on Thursday evening last was a grand success, as Murray Camp dinners always are. About 00 guests sat down to a dinner that re- flected credit on mine host Milne. The chair was taken by Chief Shaw who ably attended to the various - dui i3s conngsted therewith. The Clinton Scots form no uniruport- ant link in the fraternal chain that encircles the globe, and when the 30th of November comes around letters of greeting and regret ara received from far and near. . Owi.rg to stormy weather the attend- ance from neighboring camps was pre- vented.. THE FOLLOWING I8 THE TOAST LIST: "First we were sad, fearing you would not come, Now sadder, that you came so unpre- pared." 11 QUEEN AND fi1OYAL FAMILY. "Let's gie her a grand Hielan welcome, Ta grandest t'at'c'tver has been." TIIE DAY AN' A WHA HONOR IT. "Long may St. Andrew's Day be kept with all honor." • "THE LAND WE LEFT AND THE LAND WE LIVE IN." Land of the brave and free, whose fame sublime Still beams resplendaut, through the clouds of time ; Birthplace of science, freedom's noblest shrine, Cradle of art. Hail 1 Scotland revered divine." Such is the patriot's boast where'er we roans His first best country ever is at home, LEARNED PROFESSIONS. "Kirk yards will soon be full enough, Tak' ye na fear." "The law is a sort of hocus pocus science." ARMY AND NAVY. "We'll all still stand by the old ship, As should a trusty•cr'ew. - TRADE AND COMMERCE. "There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune." SISTER SOCIETIES. "Friends should associate friends." LADIES. "Books are enough. Nay! Nay! arenot human. They I'll give all 'nine away For one sweet woman.". Hos'r. "Guid nicht and joy be wi' ye a'.". Dr. Shaw snakes an able chairman and spoke eloquently of the beauties of the society of which he is the King Bee, and laid particular stress on the ability and )rouminency of Scotchu)en throughout the world. • The toast of the Queen and Royal Family was enthusiastically honored. THE DAY AN' A'WIIA HONER IT was proposed and responded to by the chairman. THE LAND WE LEFT was proposed by Past Chief Fortune and responded to .l))' Mr. Boyd of To- ronto'and Mr. Alex. Ingle*. A recita- tion by Jas. Ingles, a song by Mr. Spalding. THE LAND WE LIVE IN was eloquently proposed by Mr. N. Fair, who declared the toast so grand that those who were associated With it would not be allowed to retire until they had done it the justice it merited. Concluding with a verse of "The Maple Leaf For- ever." The land we live in was responded to by Mr. Torr Rance in his usual bril- liant manner. Mr. Rance said this was a subject that everyone could give expression to his feelings in respect to seeing such a glorious land, though Canada cannot boast of so numerous a population as many other nations on earth, but it is not to be forgotten mere numbers do not make a people great. It is quality not density of population which claims respect. China has a population of as many millions as days of the year but the eastern empire is not consulted in the congress, of nations. the world, and lands in the Northwest where 50 or OQ Millions can live in ease. "Lands where tho grasses are kissed by the wandering breeze, And the fields are ripe golden grain; Where the steamer ploughs through prairie seas To its destined port in the western plain, Where homes- may never be sought in vain; Arid hope is the thriftiest plant that grows, And man may ever his rights main- tain, And land is as free as the wind that blows." with the And then he spoke of the hardships endured for the old flag by those sturdy United Empire Loyalists, who gave up . their homes, ' positions, wealth and comforts for the faith that was in them, and concluded by asking all not to forget these honored forbears, bearing an mind that— "He who iS unworthy the blessings of the brave Is base in mind and bound, to be a slave.' LEARNED PROFESSIONS. This toast was ably responded to by Drs. Gunn and Turnbull, and Mr. Gundry for Educational system, and a song "The Cameron Men" by Mr.Barne, of Toronto, this song took so well that he had to respond to an enchore. Dr. Gunn's- speech was very humorous and entertaining, he spoke of the Phy- sicians of antiquity down to the one of modern times. Dr. Turnbull dwelt on the vast strides of Surgery and Medicine during the last fifteen years, ARMY AND NAVY.-' Mr. Malcolm McTaggart proposed this patroitic toast in a very brilliant and soul stirring speech, particularlt eulogizing the corps to which he is a member. Capt Combo and Sergeant Ball ably responded to the toast out- lining the recent changes in the service and the proposed advancement its the use of arms. TRADE AND COMMERCE.. This toast.rwas responded to by Mr. Will Jackson and R. J. McDonald. Mr. Jacksod declaring that Canadians should be well satisfied with their pres- ent trade condition contrasting it with the depression existing elsewhere. R. J. McDonald quoted a Gaelic proverb which exactly suited the present pros- pects of our fair Canada. SISTER SOCIETIES. on Robson responded Nichol Ro s Mr. Nm behalf of the Sons of England and among the many other pleasant things he said of the Scotch he quoted from Mr. Ransford's letter "that if he were not an Englishman he would like to be a Scotchman." Mr. Barnes made a neat speech on behalf of the Travel- lers' Society. TIIE LADIES. Mr. Spalding proposed this toast with a merry twinkle in his eye for you know he is a great favorite with the ladies, he ended his fine peroration with the following lines. "Forme I'm woman's slate confest- 1Vithout her hopeless and unblest." "An we'll tak' a richt gitid willie *aught For Auld Lang Syne." He eulogized Canada's timber and niining facilities and showed how much gre'ate'r we would be as soon as these WPM! opened up by capitalists. He said Canada was no longer a great fringe along a water stretch, it is a great Dominion literally extending from ocean to ocean a link binding the hoary empires of the east with the more rnodgr•n empires of the west. It is only by comparison that we learn to appreciate our present advantageous position. Politicians are ever ready to compare us with the United States. Why l because the great American Republic is the otos; enterprising, but at the same time most erotic nation in existence, but at no time in our history have we pointed the sar- casm of the comparison more pointedly than at the present day. The great Chicago Fair is but an illustration of our ability to hold our own and also that which by the law of equity should go elsewhere, and futhermore he believed the United States had reached the climax of her possibilities. She has no new mines to open to the miner. Her fisheries are a thing of the past, her timber has gone with the fisheries, 'and we are told on an American authority that the last acre of land capable of raising first class wheat has been taken up. In Canada it is other- wise. To -day we have the richest fisheries in the world on the Atlantic coast. The best timber tract on this continent. The wealth- iest iron, copper, silver and coal mines in existence, and Canada has a • sufficient quantity of these to supply TOWN PARLIAMENT. satisfactory trial of the new hydrant. Water was thrown over McMurray & Wiltse's store and Fair's will at the same time. The Council ordered that a memorial, thanking Mr. Fair for his kindness in the mutter, be sent to that gentletnitn.

The mayor Was instrtteted to sign it and have the clerk affix the corporate seal. The new cemetery by-law was passed, but lack of space prevents us from a more lengthy mention. On Monday evening the regular meet- ing of the Council was held -in the chamber. The Mayor and all members being present. • The proceedings were conducted with a snap somewhat foreign to the meetings generally, and eacli mutter brought up received a proper amount of discussion. Two important 'natters received attention, Viz: the snow, and the new cemetery by-law. . During the report of the Street Com- mittee, Armstrong suggests that the snow by -lay be enforced. 1le,thought that the sidewalks should be kept clear. He referred to the condition Ontario street was often in. The school child- ren had to walk on the road and were always in danger. Snow -plows could ho engaged for the season for 50e. or $1.00, and he thought the by-law should he enforced. Searle suggested that it was a chance for ]nen oust of employ- ment to get •work by going around to parties and soliciting this sort of work from therm but he wanted snow remov- ed. The Reeve saw nothing in Arm- strongs suggestions. The Main street was always kept clear and that was all that was required. Ditto Plummer. Jones wanted to see the law enforc- ed. Taylor thought that those who have vacant lots would be put to consider- able expense. Would suggest that the by-law be repealed. Would do the work by subscription. The town con- tribciting to the fund. Would have a snow plow for each ward, the cou.mcil- lors for the ward to look after the work. - County Currency,. Wm. Bagshaw, jr., has been engaged to teach in S. S. No. 3, of Stephen town- ship, at a salary of $300. Peter Barr, of Morris, has purchased the farm known as the old Kippen farm, in Morris, for $3,400. Hugh Lamont has purchased lot 5, concession 10, Grey,owned by Robert McNaughton, for $,200.

Bishop Baldwin held a Confirmation service in St. Paul's church, Hensall, Tuesday, December 5th. James Kennard, of Hills Green, was accidently shot in British Columbia last week. His remains were brought home for interment. Owing to the disagreeable weather the services which were being held at Turners Appointment, have been post- poned until a more favorable time. The London Free Press says :—Brus- sels is shortly to have a Conservative paper, with Mr. James Irwin, formerly of Atwood, as editor and proprietor. Dr. and Mrs. Stanhury of Hayfield, celebrated their silver wedding on Tues day, 28th, and entertained a large num- ber of their friends. John M.

H. Watson, pastor of the Congregational church, of inghaur,has accepted the call to the Congregational church in Hamilton, and will sever his connection with the %Vingharn congre- gation at the end of the present year. Robert Brown, a young married man, had his right arm badly mangled in Young's saw mill, Wiarton,.Tuesday. The chain that draws up logs to the saw, broke, and his arm was caught in the bull wheel. He will probably have to suffer amputation. Rev. F. H. Fatt, the rector of Trivitt Memorial Chiu eh, Exeter, acknowl- edges the thoughtful kindness that prompted his friends of the Case settle- ment in sending hire a load of oats the other day. Mr. Fatt sincerely trusts that the donor's granaries may always be abundantly stored. Whilelifting a stone on Thanksgiving day J. E. McDonell, of Hensall, injured himself internally. In consequence Drs. Browning, of Exeter and Gunn, of Clinton, were sent for, and after con- sultation performed a critical yet successful operation which will be the means of his restoration to health. Sending ahoy to prisonfor three'years for stealing lo sents worth of bread, and a few days after awarding a youth with a bad record five months for the theft of a suit of clothes, indicate that the Toronto Police Magistrate has more compassion on rags than on hun- ger. • A young man named Fred Westfall, had a narrow escape at Ogilvie's mill last week. While poking down bran in a bin from an upper' flat he slipped in. Fortunately his clanger was dis- covered in time, and he was drawn out through the spout. He was nearly smothered but soon recovered, and is now none the worse of his dangerous expedition. J. J., Crahbe, formerly of the St. Marys Argus, Dr. J. H. Cotton, Fred Roper and W. J. Gage, of Toronto, and Stephen Myers, of St. Marys, have received letters patent forining the Star Printing and Publishing Company of Toronto, capital $100,000, with power to print a morning and evening edition of the Star. McMurchie opposed the subscription idea saying that those down town had to keep there sidewalks clear anyway, and should not be taxed for resident streets. Armstrong in reply said that the people in the residenstreets had to pay for watering the front streets in the summer. However,he wanted an effort made to enforce the by-law before they resort to that principle. Searle said that persons with vacant lots should he made put up same as othors. They have less expense to pay than those who have improved lots. McMurray wanted to see the by-law enforced. The Mayor Was then instructed to see that the inspector of streets pro• perly; enforce the snow by-law. In the report of the fire and wate Cotnmitte, mention was made of the ,i+u.n'Alb County Currency. . Mr. T. A. Gregg, late of tl Toronto News, is now the leading political writer of the Toronto Empire. J. W. Harrison, teacher, of Varna, spent a few days of last week with his parents in Exeter. Dr. Amos, of Exeter, has been confin- ed to his room, through illness, the past week.

Alcbean, of Glamis, were going to Tiverton from Kincardine, and at the bridge at Mr. Kenneth Montgomery's. the horse ran off the road, going over the corner of the bridge and breaking its neck in the fall. Both men escaped with but slight injury. Quite a sensation was cruised in Ches- ley last week when it became known that a baby aged about 8 months had been left at the door of the house where the supposed parent lives. The baby had been two hours in the basket before being discovered and was nearly frozen to death. The people at whose home it was left refused to keep the child and the village constable took possession of it as a corporation wait. Mr. Wtn. Woods, of the 10th con- cession of Kincardine, has no use for the parlor stove as a' savings bank. The other day as he was leaving home he gave his daughter $150 to keep till hisreturn,and she on leaving the house for a time placed it in the parlor stove for safety. On her return sire found that ,some of the smaller children had built a fire in the stove and the bills had gone up in smoke. One hundred and fifty 'dollars is a nice little stake to lose so easilv,these hard time. Miss Maggie . Bedore returned to Mildutay from Hamilton on Saturday week apparently in good health, though suffering from a headache. This grew worse until Sunday when a physician was summoned. 1 -Ie left about 11 a. m. and the patient appeared to be progres- sing favorably. Shortly after 2 p. m. she laid down and went to sleep. She never awoke. Death came while she slumbered. She was well and favorable known and her early demise at the age of 18 has cast a gloom over the whole community. ' The Guelph Herald says :—Three children arrived in the city from Win- nipeg this morning on their way to Tara. The eldest was a girl 9 years and the othors, two boys, were 6 and 3. A short time ago the mother of the little ones died in Winnipeg. Their father put them on the train, their destination being the home of 0 sister of their mothers. On their journey_ here a tramp robbed the little girl of all the money she had but the passengers in the train made the amount up by subscription. The Parkhill Gazette -Review says :— There is some talk in town of having twoladies placed on the board of school trustees. Lad ies are as much iliter ested as men in educational work. In factasa rule they take a deeper interest than in -en in educational work. Lady teach- ers are in the majority in our schools. it is therefore fitting and probably ad- visable. to have women represented Oil the board. We believe that if two are nominated at the coming trustee elec- tion they will be elected by acclamation. We find woman representation on school boards in Toronto and other places and we have yet to learn that it is not abenefit. A tramp 'called upon the Mitchell Mayor last week'for'assistance. - He had the usual woeful tale -of misery, and beg. ged for a quarter with which to get some- thing to eat. He claimed to have just left Toronto hospital, and was trying to work his way to adaughter's near Bay- field. Although having the appear- ance of being a heavy drinker, the Mayor took pity upon him and started to write out an order for his break- fast, but the fellow became indignant and demanded the cash, saying that he didn't want to appear as a pauper. He was then refused either one or the other, which brought forth a volley of abuse. On Tuesday, Nov. 21st, Angus Mathe- son, son of Donald Matheson, of Ripley, went to Kincardine on a visit to his friends, putting up his horse and buggy at the Queen's Hotel, The horse not being called for, on Friday morning Mr. Walker became uneasy and on enquiri s found out who was the owner of the horse and rig. It is supposed that Mr. A. Matheson on going to the early train to see some friends away tried to take a short cut to the station and missed his way in the dark and fell into the basin. The friends have been busy in the search, which has been so far fruitless. Mr. Matheson had been up the lakes fishing all summer, and is supposed to have had considerable cash on his person. The event has caused great excitement, both fn Ripley and Kincardine. The Bottom Knocked Out of Prices. ° Walker's Club rend Imperial Whiskey, Bottled in Bond. UNDER EXCISE SUPERVISION. .•.

County Currency. Mrs (Rev.) Hunt and daughter of Southampton, are visiting in Brussels. Walkerton is bothered with a "Jack the Kisser," who has been annoying some of its female residents of late. Miss Nora ('lyneh, the great Canadian violiniste, is suffering from a severe at- tack of la grippe, and is confined to her mat the hotel in St. Catharines. John Hicks, of Chiselhurst, who is at preseltt attending Goderich model school, has secured the situation of teacher of S., S. No. 24, Hay, for 1894. Miss Mary Ann Logan, of Varna, was made the recipient of a very highly complimentary address and a well filled purse on Friday week, by the members and adherents of St. John's church, as their appreciation of her er services as organist. One of Our exchanges very trhfly touches up a good manypeopleutby say- ul ing : "No man ought to ask his home merchant to trust him when he is in the habit of visiting other towns and paying the inercllants therein cash for all he buys of them." A very sad accident happened to John McLean, Who resides hear Kip- pen, on Monday of last week. While working on the barn floor he stepped backward falling through a trap door to fire stable flour below. When found, about an hour afterwords, he was un- conscious. Medical aid was procured, when it was found that he was suffer- ing from concussion of the spine, be- sides numerous cuts and bruises -about the head and shoulders. What the Brussels Post has to say about Cupid's darts. "Love laughs at locksmiths, and well it may for the many devices and devious ways set in motion to secure a fair partner can • scarcely be enumerated. The old fashioned style followed by Jacob and of Rachel is long onta a.t a and the ad - 1 e vertiseme.nt 'Wanted" has taken . its place. Now a new role has come to light and we- hasten to place it before the youth of this section hoping that they will not" give the chief actor away. Last spring lred Tait was engaged packing eggs in the Egg Emporium poriuln of his uncle in this town. To while away the hours he occasionally wrote poetry and little "billy -does" ou the egg shells and then packed them away. Ono of these notes read something after the following fashion :—"Will tips party who gets this egg kindly correspond. with `Vin. Giewar, Brussels, as to is looking for a pan tner. She must be good looking.' Months rolled by, Fred went to the States and the inci- dent is almost forgotten btit the other day a letter bearing the postmark of Glasgow, Scotland, and address to Wm.. Grewar comes to Brussels postoflce. He little dreamed that it was freighted with the all important message it con- tained. It said, in substance, "1 write to tell you that the egg came into my possession, and being taken with the unique way of advertising fora;partner I write to let yoit know that I received it. As to -my good looks it would not do for me to say but if you will send ice your photo i will send mine in re- turn and you can judge for yourself. Yours trulyy Nellie Law. When Grewar got through reading the letter the boys say his heart flopped up and down like a churn dasher; the sensation of unutterable joy thrilled through him like a Spanish needle through tow linen pants and crept .over him like young goats over a stable roof, but after a while he quieted do*Yn and has since written Miss Law "in appropriate terms" as folk often say. "Billy, neg- lected to show us the reply but it will likely suit 'eggsactly.' If he strikes a millionaire in the Glasgow lassie he should give Fred a nicd present. We might say for Miss Law's benefit that Mr. Grewar is a good baker; a crack base -ball player; a No. 1 trombone manipulator; fine bass vocalist; good looking, and will drive single or double. Any further information will be cheer- fully furnished. if the message had been written on a cluck egg or even a goose egg we would not have wondered but just a common, every day hen egg, It's wonderful. We would advise Mr, Tait to charge an admission fee to al • youths wanting to pack eggs after this.
