HORSE NOTES. — On Tuesday last P
Messrs McMann, of Seaforth, and Turn- 0
bull, of McKillop, were here buying w
horses for the English market; al- R
though quite a number were offered . h
them, they only mane one or two pin.- a
chases, giving as their reason that a °
horse must be perfectly sound and free th
from blemishes to. find sale in the Eng- re
lish market. They stated that there o
were any number of horses in the th
country for sale. Mr P. McGregor, of di
•Brucefield, ships a load to the old gp
country on the 10th, having bought l
one from Mr I. Rattenbury to includeaa
in the shipment.
OMITTED.—We have received a let- th
ter for publication that was originally pr
intended for the Wingham Advance, th
but which that paper declined to pub- M
lish, although it was a courteous reply R
to one a earingg in its columns from w
J. H. McConnell. We do not see that M
anything will be gained by its inser- Oh
tion here. People here know nothing
of the circumstances, and would not
. be enlightened by the publication of
the letter. In our opinion McConnell
has been given a great deal more space
in
the columns of our, northern totems
than was warranted, because the dis-
cussion, as is invariably the case, de-
scends to one of personalities, and he
has said things in his letters that would
have been better unsaid, and some of
which were not matters of public con-
cern,
ODDFELLOWB.—Last Tuesday was a
big day for the I. 0. of Oddfellows in
Clinton, the occasion being a fraternal
visit from the Degree team of Huron
lodge of Goderich. The visiting breth-
ren, to the number of 25, came down on
the 2.46 p.m. train and lodge was call-
ed to order at 4 o'clock, when the Ini-
tiatory and first degrees were conferred
on some candidates who were waiting
to be made acquainted with the mys-
teries of Oddfellowship. The brethren
,then adjourned to the Rattenbury
House where an excellent supper was
spread, and to which they appeared to
do justice. The lodge opened again at
7.30, when the beautiful work of
second and third degrees was exempli-
fied by the team in splendid style,.
songs and pleasant speeches were then
indulged in until adjournment, when
the visitors returned home on thb late
train, which had been held over for
them until 10.45. Visitors were also
present from Hensall, Brucefleld, Den-
ver and Minneapolis. Oddfellowship
is progressive in its natuet; during the
past year there were 2467 members re-
ceived into the order, or a total mem-
bership df 19452 ill Ontario alone,'or a
grand total of 773431 members of the
LO.O.F. In Ontario the handsome
sum of $77,366.94 was spent foe} the re-
Jief of members and their fa.rriilies,.fir
