MILLER, of the O'Neil House, Woodstock, was visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Miller and other relatives and friends in town this week. AMUSING, OF COURSE. -It is really amusing how our cotetn. objects to the "bow -wow at a church entertainment, while it .advises our people to go and hear the comic singing and witness the clog dancing of Marks' Bros. LITIGATION: -One Grimes had one O'Donnell before His Worship, Mayor Holmes, Monday evening, on a charge of aggravated assault,alleged to be cotn- rnitted on the .premises of the accused After hearing the evidence His Wor- ship reserved his ruling until 3 p. ret. yesterday, when the case was dismiss- ed. "N. P." OR `•P. N.". -It does not seem to matter which way you place the initials. The goods are good value all the same. In the Hodgens estate advertisement last week the initials read "N. P." instead of "P. N." The reference was to the celebrated "Peter Newman" corsets, not Canadian "Nat- ional Policy"oods. They are of American nianuf�acture and have a big sale. These "P. N," corsets are said to he the delight of the ladies and of course TILE NEWS -RECORD would rather have all goods called by the proper name. Always spell Peter Newman as "P. N." and ask the Hodg- ens estate for "P. N." corsets. THE MONEY FOUND. -Ed. Twitchell lost a pocket book Last week containing about $45. Ile got out bills offering a handsome reward for its recovery. Several days elapsed and there was no sign of the tinder turning up. Finally the owner got on the track of a young pian who was spending money almost by the "barrel' and Chief Wheatley was put on the scent. The purse and $7 was recovered. The lad has since been discharged from his situation. Honesty is always the best principle for young or old. Our advice would be for the young lad to turn over a new leaf, be honest, and regain the confidence he has lost. RECEIVED WITIH THANKS. -Congrat- ulations have been showered upon the writer on his re-election as County Master of South Huron L. 0. L. for a fifth term. Very complimentary and encouraging letters have been received from all quarters of the Dominion and distant points of the American Repub- lic, while nearer home personal con- aratuatons have been numerous indeed. People outside the Order do not know the responsibility attached to such an important position. The County Mas- ter is the choice of and serves from 1,500 to 2,000,members. This is an honor that any good citizen should be proud to possess for five successive years with entire unanithity. We appreciate the sincerity and good will ofithose who personally know us and the . very kind and cheering words of those who only meet us at stated intervals. South Huron is prosperous and pro- gressive. In the future we shall en- deavor to serve themas faithfully as in the past. The Loyal Orange Association has long been one of the fixed institu- tions of this fair Dominion, and will certainly last as long as tirne. M.;it.W ?six and family re- move to their farm in Goderich town- ship this week. MRs. ROM= CRQWEN, of Clinton, is spending a week or two in town with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

SERRIOUS FALL.-Mr.George Hanley, town, received a very severe fall on Tues- day of last week. He was in the hayloft of his stable and missed his footing, falling several feet to the bottom of the feed rack. He was severely cut and bruised about the head and body and was in a dazed condition for a time. We are pleased to learn that he is able to be around again. DISTANT SUBSCRIBERS. -The Mit- chell Advocate sensibly remarks :-We have lost so heavily with subscribers in the States, Manitoba and scattered places in Ontario that we have decided to remove from our list all those who are over a year in arrears, and only to accept in future subscribers out- side of Perth who pay strictly in advance. At the present time there are over $1,300 due us in those places alone, and we hope that those who have received their accounts will re- mit before we are obliged to drop them frons our subscription list, THE CANADIAn MAGAZINE FOR FEB- RUARY. -With the current number (Feb.), the Canadian Magazine com- pletes its first year of publication, and with a record for excellence and financial prosperity, not equalled in the history of Canadian Magazine literature. The number is a strong one, and several of the articles are of remark- able merit while interest attaches to every contribution in the nutuber. The Canadian Magazine is published by the Ontario Publishing Co., Ltd., Toronto. $2.50 per annum. THE DELINEATOR. -The Delineator for April is the second of the "Great Spring Numbers " and has many spec- ial features in addition to the un- usually fine display of attractive styles. Prominence is given to a grand galaxy of subjects, including bicycle riding, costumes, music, fashions, cook- ery, how to live wisely, etiquette, the uses of crepe and tissue papers, flower culture, gardening, netting, tatting, &c. The subscription price of the Delineator is $1.00 a year. Single Copies, 15 Cents. Address orders to the Delineator Publishing Co. (Ltd.) 33 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ont.

Jackson and Bruce were appointed to arrange for a musical entertainment by the children of the schools to take place about Easter, if possi- ble, and procure a musical in- structor. The report of Principal Lough was adopted. It showed :- Boys enrolled 244, girls 214 -total 458; average a fraction over 404, a substan- tial increase over January, 1893. Special attention was called to the school law and the means some parents take of evading it. THE LATE DAVID JACKSON. -Our citizens were greatly surprised on learning of the death of Mr. David Jackson, of Hullett, last Saturday. He had buried a few days previous a son ,just budding into manhood. Mr. Jackson had not been in the best of health for some time and was subject to asthma. When but 11 years of age the deceased came with his parents from Barrowhy, Yorkshire, Eng., to Rochester, where John and Isaac were living ; Thomas was also located near there. The funnily a year or so. later settled in Hullett on a farm. About a quarter of a century ago David married Miss Thompson, of Chinguacousy. She with five sons and three daughters sur- vive. The deceased was a Methodist, a Reformer, and a member of the C. 0. F., under whose auspices the funeral took place. There Was a very large 'turnout. The deceased was one of the rnost re- spected citizens and his death has created general sorrow. His age was nearly 52 years. MOST CURIOUS THING IIt INFO Saw. -An elderly tnaiden lady living on street, solemn and stately, is very fond of flowers. One morning last week she found a curious blossom which she had never seen before. Just then she noticed a neighbor passing the window, who, she knew was equally fond of flowers. "Crane in," she called to hits, "I want to show you one of the most curious things ou ever saw." He accordingly carver in. Miss sat down in a chair near at hand not preceiving that the bottom of the chair had been lifted out. Down she went through the frame, nearly sitting on the floor. The neighbor went into fits of laughter and said "Well ma'am, sure enough, it is one of the most curious things I have ever seen in my life." "Stop," she s aid, "conduct, yourself properly, and lift me out," "Oh, by Jove, Ina'aln, I can't stop it's so curious ; it beats all I ever seen." It was some time before she could make him understand that her preformance was not what he had been called in to see; and when he help- ed her up, he was dismissed by a strong rebuke for his levity. They don't speak now. REV. MR. SMYTH AT BRUSSELS. - The Post says :-Rev. W . Smyth, of Clinton, rendered excellent service at the missionary anniversary last Sun- day in connection' with the Methodist church in this place. In the morning his text was taken from Ezekiel, 47th chapter and Oth verse. He outlined the surroundings and then dealt pointedly with the three following divisions, having reference to the Christian religion :-(1) The origin. It is divine, pure and permanent. The new birth is the entrance to the Kingdom. (2) Its progress and growth. Bethlehem's bithe is the centre of human thought and the interest is not waning. The developement of Christian character was profitably touched upon. (8) The effect of Christianity upon the world. It quickens life, intellectually, socially, morally. The discourse was an able one and was listened to with pleasure by the large audience. - In the evening a platform meeting -was held, when Rev. R. Paul gave a brief outline of his missionary days and was followed by Mr. Smyth, who delivered an ex- cellent address. The financial results were in advance of last year by about $15.00, the collections and subscriptions amounting to $115. and.
