The question of street watering was discussed, and the feasibility of having the work done either by frontage tax, or out of the general funds of the town, or as at present, by private subscrip- tion and council aid, was thoroughly considered. Each plan proposed had some difficulty or unfairness about it.

Mechanics' Institute Annual Meeti n g. The annual meeting of the members of the Mechanics' Institute was held on Monday evening. The report of Mr Lough, President, showed the In- stitute to be in a good condition, and recommended the appointment of a couple of active young men on the Board, to act as a canvassing commit- tee. 125 new volumes were bought and 65 bound during the year. The re - ort of the Superintendent of Mechan- ic Institutes shows that this Institute is in as prosperous a condition as the Institutes of most towns of the size of Clinton. The Librarian's report showed that there are 2871 volumes on the catalogue —this is without adding new books re- ceived — classified as follows : — Bio- graphy, 289; history, 419; fiction, 848; miscellaneous, 212; general literature, 290; poetry, 112; religious, 59; science, 318; voyages, 282; reference, 62. Two daily papers, 8 weekly, and 20 maga- zines come into the reading room. The average daily attendance in the reading room has been 21. Messrs T. Murch and Rand, a com- mitte on the state of the library, re- ported that 1821 books were in good condition, and 178 in need of binding. Various committees for the year were formed. Instructions were given to_ have a supplementary_ catalogue prepared as soon as converiie$t; tfu also to purchase from the local dealers new books as they are issued from time to time. It was decided that the Board of Directors meet regularly once every two months—the first Friday in every alternate month. The officers elected for the ensuing year are, W. R. Lough, President; J. H.

The prospective removal of Rev. A. Stewart to Brucefield, will be learned s with much regret, not alone by our townspeople, but by numbers beside, the call to him being sustaine1 by Pres- bytery. During his residence here he' has shown himself to be a gentleman in every way worthy of unbounded confidence and esteem. Always a thoughtful. instructive and sincere preacher of very marked ability, and a pastorr in the fullest application of the term, he has succeeded in building up a congregation that entertains the most cordial sympathy and admiration for him, not one of whom has any but the best words and wishes for him. And in addition he has won the highest respect of all who know him. We speak for our townspeople universally in saying that his removal will be greatly regretted and a distinct.loss to the town. HONORED,—At the closing exercises of Montreal Theological College, last week, a former Clintonian and gradu- ate of Clinton Collegiate Institute, was honored, as the following, from the Montreal Witness report of the ex- ercises, will show:—"Mr Frank M. Mathers, was with the common con- sent of the students of the graduating year, chosen as the most deserving man for the honor of being valedictorian. Mr Mathers entered the Wesleyan College in I890, after spending three years in pastoral work in Arkwright and Preston. He entered on his course taking lectures in McGill University and Wesleyan College, from which he graduates this year with the degree of S. T. L., and expects afterspecial work in theology to obtain the degree of B. D. Mr Mathers is a thorough college man and is evidently very popular among the students, not only of .his own year but of the whole college. He ich, and occupies his residence recent - y vacated by Mr Neil Murray. Arbor day was observed at our school last Friday, by a general cleaning up of the chool premises, and by laying out a arge diamond-shaped mound for flow- ers. The Misses Murray, of Detroit, were visiting in Bayfield last week. Messrs Irwin and Campbell were home from Goderich on Sunday. Mr James McKay, just out from the Orkney Is- lands, Mr Tait, of Goderich, and Mr J. Johnston. of Lakeview,wei a the guests of Mr J. Esson, last week. The May quarterly meeting of the Bayfield Circuit was held in the Meth- odist church in the village of Bayfield on Sunday, the 6th inst. The pastor, who has been for some time suffering from a severe attack of muscular rheumatism, conducted the service himself, preaching an appropriate ser- mon from the words "Christ our Pass- over is sacrificed for ua." After which the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered to a larger number, than usually remain for this service; the entire service was spiritual and helpful, and was evidently enjoyed by the people. The meeting of the quar- terly official board was held . on Mon- day. Finances were well up, the total being a little beyond the appropria- tion. Between pastor and people the most kindly feelings prevail. The year, to him, has been one of great family and personal affliction, but it is grati- fying to know he enjoys the sympathy of a kind people. W. Pocock, Wingham. is president of the College Years, and Four Clinton "locals" found employ has held important offices in the Liter- Four ary and Missionary Societies, and for ment on Sunday evening last, r Foster supplying the pulpit of Londes- boro Methodist church; Mr W.

Mr Hamilton, of Cheltenham, to be- come their pastor, and the reverend gentleman has acceded to their request and will arrive and assume the duties' of pastor of the church in a few days. Rev Joseph Edge, Acton, will preac anniversary sermons in Ontario stree church, on Sunday next, morning and evening. In the afternoon an open meeting of the Sunday School will he held. when addresses will be delivered by Revs. A Stewart, J. Edge and W. Smyth. A public meeting wil lbe held the following Monday evening The parlor concert at; the residence of Mrs H. Andrews, Mary St., on last Thursday evening, was a very success- ful and pleasant affair. It was under the auspices of the Women's Mission- ary Society of the Ontario Street church. The Rev, W. Smyth was chairman, and the following program was given:—Reading by Thos. Murch; duet, Miss Rippy and Mrs Coates; in- strumental solo, Mrs Bruce; recitation, Miss Washington; solo, Miss Andrews; missionary dialogue. Misses S. Moore and Edith Whitrngham; solo, Emrna Plumsteel; instrumental quartette, Messrs Chant, Gibbings, Holloway and Downs; quartette, the Quartette Chub; recitation, Miss Mountcastle; instru- mental duet, Miss Couch and Miss Mc- Murray; solo, Mrs R. Ransford. The attendance was large and a very en- joyable evening was spent. The quarterly meeting services of Rattenbury St. church, Clinton, held on Sunday last, were well attended and manifested much spiritual interest. The official board meeting on Tuesday evenings showed the church to be in a flourishing condition. During the year 22 new members were received by letter and 32 on trial; by removals and deaths, the church lost 38 members, leaving the present membership at 331, an increase of 16 over last year. The finances are in good shape.

Mr Sldwa:i, 1►as oval' srdwn lice Mq Attwood some time has been editor of the 'College Monthly.' " The Montreal Witness of Monday thus refers to a brother of Mr James Scott (of Manning & Scott) in an ar- ticle from Carleton Place:—Presbyter- ianism holds an important place in the religious interests of the town. It is represented by two thriving churches, St. Andrew's, of which the Rev. R. McNair is pastor, and Zion, of which the Rev. A. A. Scott, M. A., is pas- tor. The Synod of Montreal and Ottawa is to be held in Zion church. It is an interesting coinci- dence that the Rev. Mr Scott is both pastor- of the church and the retiring Moderator, whose duty it will be to open the proceedings by delivering the official Synodical sermon. He was born in 1846, in the township of East Oxford, near Woodstock, Ontario. After passing through the common schools of the neighborhood, he took a full course in the Woodstock Colle- giate Institute, then the High School. The next few years were spent in teaching. Then he entered Toronto University, and after taking a full course in arts, graduated as B. A., in 1874, and M. A. in 1876. For three years he studied theology in Knox College, and during-- the summer months did good service in various mission fields of the church. When his theological course was completed, he was licensed to preach the Gospel, and shortly afterwards received a un- animous call to become the pastor where he still labors. He has now been here a little more than sixteen years, and his congregation has steadi- ly grown with the growth of the town. At the commencement of his pastorate the membership counted but 80, while at present it numbers 360. In Novem- ber, 1878, Mr Scott married Miss B. C. Mills, of Toronto, a ladywho has been a great help to him in his work, and a blessing to his congregation. Bayfield. Fr CHURCH.—Mr Houston, Principal of Clinton Collegiate Institute, ably offi- ciated in St. Andrew's:church, on Sab- bath. Communion was observed in Trinity and the Methodist churches, last Sabbath,. Dr Stanbury and Mr Chas. Symonds attended the meeting of Presbytery in Clinton, on Tuesday. ACOMENT.—On Wednesday of last week, what might have been a very serious accident occurred at the new saw mill in Bayfield. Mr Donaldson's son, who runs the 'engine. was struck on the head with a Blab, which fell from the'saw, cutting a deep gash on the atop of his head, but under the treatment of Dr. Sheppard he is rapid- ly recovering and expects soon to be at work again NOTES.—Mi: • Wilson has .returned from Toronto.

PERSONALS.—Mr Whitfield Crich is laid up 'with blood poisoning in his foot. The young lady who lost her purse has had it returned to her with the contents in full. Misses Young and Hale, of Seaforth, called on friends here on Wednesday. Mr W. Robin- son now sports a safety bicycle, which he purchased from Mr A. Cooper. NARROW EscArE.—While a young man, of the West End; was returning home from Clinton last Sunday even- ing, he collided with another rig, caus- ing his rig to take a sort of an upright position, throwing the young lady, who -accompanied him, ovet the front and almost on the horse., Luckily mo one was hurt as the horses were not the wildest kind, but one of the buggies was slightly injured. NOTES.—Mt J. E. Ball has disposed of a pair of fat cattle, which tipped the beam at a trifle over 3,000 lbs; they were purchased by Messrs Hunter and Avery, London road, who are making up three car loads, which Mr Hunter intends to ship to the old country about the 18th of this month. Mr Lough, of Clinton, very ably filled the pulpit at Turner's Appointment last Sunday evening: Rev. Mr Holmes, of Clinton, will preach next Sunday after- noon. - VERY SAD AFFAIR,—A most lament- able occurence happened at Riverside farm, the residence of Mr John Mc- Lean, 4th con., on Sunday last, whereby his little four-year old daughter' was accidentally drowned. The child was playing along the river side, and was noticed by Mr Thos. McMillan,whc was visiting at the house of Mr McLean, his brother-in-law. Along in the after- noon the child was missed, and a search failed to reveal her whereabouts. The heart -stricken lather could only con- clude that the child was drowned, al- though there was no evidence of it, but Monday morning its body was found, a short distance from where it -was supposed to have fallen in. A log across the stream had often been used by the child as a footpath, and the presumption is that in crossing this, it had fallen into the creek, which was much swoollen by late rains. Mr McLean has the sympathy of the whole neighborhood, as this is the second child he has lost; his wife also died less than a year ago, leaving an infant, which is the only child he has living.

BAD CONDUCT.—Certain young men of our village, who would be highly in- dignant if called other than gentlemen, have been acting in anything but a gentlemanly way, by disturbing the peace of our citizens at very late hours. We hope their conduct in future will be such that no more complaints will be necessary. NOTES.—Mr John Gordon nearly lost two of his cows one day last week, by choking on turnips. Mr Thos.
