Mrs. Potts is recovering and both returned to the City of the Straits on Monday morn- ing. CoL.

The Colonel could not pass the Forest City without making a call at the Barracks. MR. JAMES BROWNLEE, treasurer of the Grand Black Chapter, was in Clinton last Thursday and called 'on THE NEWS -RECORD. The veteran office -hearer will be in Chatham this week. The worst feature in our worthy friends make_ up is that he has yet fail- ed -to join the benedicts association. ANOTHER CALLER.—We had a cal the other day from Mr. Thomas Jarvis, of Goderich. , He is a menr}ber of the . Goderich Brewing and Malting Corn- pany. The firm are doing a big local trade, he informs us, and the goods they make a specialty of, porter and lager, command a ready market. Mr. Jarvis is an old resident of this county. Mr. William Lasham, a brother of John, of Londesboro, is a member of the firm. AN OLD-TIME RESIDENT. -THE NEWS - RECORD was much pleased to have a call last FI iday from Mr. George Sheppard, of Goderich, a former resi- dent of Clinton. It is about sixteen years since Mr. Sheppard took up his residence in the county town. He naturally finds very many changes in Clinton during that period,• To the writer he recounted the absence of many old-time business men and the prominent merchants here in the long ago. Mr. Sheppard looks well and has a very kindly feeling for the old towel NARROW ESCAPE.—Last Wednesdey Mr. Isaac Brownlee had a very narrow escape from death. A steam cutting machine was being worked on the farm of Mr. Thos. Archer, Hullett. The governor belt carne off and Mr. Brownlee placed a plank and stood on it in order to replace the belt. The plank slipped and he was thrown against the drive shaft. Fortunately his clothes did not become entangled and the machinery was stopped as speedily as possible, but not before he was severely cut and bruised about the head and body. The call was indeed a close one. ANOTHER PORK CURING RECEIPT,— A good number of NEWS -RECORD read- ers watched closely for the pork curing receipt we gave last week. The result is that another reader gives his success- ful experience in curing pork by anoth- er process. After the hog has been slaughtered, dressed and allowed to stand until the animal heat has disap- peared, cut up and put down in dry salt until seasoned ; then remove, slice as if • for table use, fry on pan or other vessel (not too much fire) ; then place layer after layer in earthen crock or wooden tub and pour fat from pan over it. The lard or fat will set and if protected with ordinary covering we are informed it will keep even through the entire surnmersenSen. In summer the meat will have a very sweet and fresh flavor, far superior to that slaughtered during the spring or heat- ed term. Our informant, as well as several others, has tried it and the test has been entirely satisfactory. Mn. MATTHEW MAWS, of Londes, born, is attending the Prot(ncial Grand Blaek Chapter�of Ontario West, now in session at Chatham. FRons ST. TfloMAs.--Mr. C. E. Will - sou, of the Beaver Mills Store, was in town from St. Thomas last Friday. He reports business somewhat dull in the city and is now patiently waiting for the advent of the wool season. HORSES FOR BRITAIN.—Last Satur- day Messrs. Mason and McGregor, of • Brucefleld, shipped two car loads of horses to Britain. The lot consisted of heavy medium and light grades. They were all purchased in the neighbor- hood and the prices pad ranged from $80 to $150 each.

Tisdale, of the Tisdale Iron Stable Fittings Company, No. 6 Adelaide Street, Toronto, was in town last Friday in the interests of the company He supplied the Kennedy livery and sale stables with iron fittings. The firm are doing an extensive Canadian trade and have a good business in Huron. We were pleased to meet Mr. Tisdale. THE NEWS -RECORD is Cana- dian from stern to stern and is always pleased to chronicle the success of Canadians, Canadian manufacturers and all Canadian citizens. EARLY SPRING. — The exceedingly fine weather during the past couple of weeks has many old settlers to make remarks about the weather of long ago. Councillor Plummer informs THE NEWS -RECORD that in 1868-26 years ago—Mr. George Snell, of Hullett, and the late Win. Shipley, of the Huron Road, were ploughing on the 7th of March, and that the former had nearly all his grain sowed the same month. On about the 20th or 26th there was lots of snow and good sleigh- ing. About the latter date Mr. J. B. Weir says he drove from London to Strathroy, some 26 miles, and that there was good sleighing with a foot or more of snow. Mr. George Layton, of Tuckersmith, states that farmers on the London Road and in the township were ploughing on the 8th of the pres- ent month. MITCHELL S. O. E.—An • event of more than usual interest to our fellow citizens of English birth and origin, was the institution of a lodge of the Sons of England in the town of Mit- chell, which took place in ethe Tem- perance Hall, on Friday evening, 9th inst. The instituting officers who acted in the capacity of S. G. Lodge officers were:—S. G. P. Bro. Jackson, D. D., of Clinton; S. G. Vice -Pres., Bro. Spackman, Past Pres., of Exeter ; S. G. Secretary, Bro., Senior, Worthy Pres., of Exeter; S. G. President, Bro. Robson, Past ]'res., of Clinton. The name of the Lodge will be Mitchell Lodge No. 198., S. O. E., B. S., it starts With a good charter list of about 21) members, and with zealous officers and energetic members, the roll will soon he largely increased. After the installation of officers speeches were delivered by the installing officers and the W. P. & P. P. of Queen Victoria Lode, Stratford, and a pleasant and profitable evening was enjoyed. • • A CLERICAL BIGAMIST.—There have been bigamists and we suppose there will be until the end of time, When men who make loud religious profess- ions commit the grevious sin of haying more than one wife the crimes natur- ally appears to be of a more heinous nature than in the case of those who do not make such loud professions and are, according to popular opinion, more open to become a prey to the wiles of the devil or even the softer sex: How- ever that may be, an Arkona wornan has succeeded in having evangelist John Woodhull sent up for trial on the charge of bigamy—that lie has two wives. The charge may or may not be true, but the evidence just now looks bate for the accused. John Woodhull, the accused, was doing missionery work in this county some time ago, and this is why the case is of local in- terest. Last week, a news item says from Chatham, the sensational prelim= inary trial was concluded at Wallace - burg. The report says :—Johu"Wood- hull, an evangelist, who has been assist- ing the Rev. Mr. Farmer in holding re- vival services in the Baptist church, was arrested on a charge of bigamy, preferred by a holy in Arkona, who c•lainis to lie his legitimate wife. Woodhull was arrainged before the police magistrate and pleaded net guilty, and the case was adjourned till Pnesclay evening, when alleged wife No. 2, who stated that her name was Josie Woodhull, of West Lorne, wits present. The prisoner elected to be tried summarily, and asked for an adjournment till 'Wednesday evening to consult his lawyer, Mr. J. S. Fraser. The magistrate consented, and bound over alleged wife No. 2 to appear as a witness. On Wednesday evening the pry'soner was again brought before the ce magistrate, and the case contin- uecit. Evidence was given by his An- kona wife to show that she and the prisoner were legally married at Port Huron, also that he was a British sub- ject, so far as she knew. His West Lorne wife, No 2, swore that she was married to the prisoner five years ago in Detroit. The case was adjourned, when the prisoner was brought up again before Police Magistrate Mac- Dougall, Mr. Douglas acting for the crown, and Mr. Fraser for the prisoner. Certificates of the marriage of the prisoner, first to Jane Riggs, at Port Huron, Michigan, in March, 1878, before Malcolm McKay, J. P., from the records of marriages for Port Huron, and, secondly, of the prisoner's marriage to Johanna Thomas, at Detroit, in September, 1887, before one Robinson, a J. P. for that city. A witness named Keyser then gave testimony that he knew the prisoner since he was an infant; that they lived on adjoining farms and visited each other, and that the prisoner told him he was married to Mary Jane Riggs at Port Huron. The prisoner was then committed for trial. He offered no evidence and declined to make any statement. po • 0r. ------ We have just completed the pur- chase of the Select stock of MR.

"SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL." — Several items of interest under this heading will be found this week in another page. AN ANSWER.—in reply to a reader as to the electric lighting of the town hall, we might say that we did not in- tentionally curtail particulars. Last Week our time and space was some- what limited and that was the reason the names of those who voted nay and yea were not recorded. Reeve Mc - Murchie made to the Council a person- al and verbal report of the terms on which the lights could he put in (same figures as stated last week). When the vote was taken it stood :—NAY—Reeve McMurchie, Plummer, McKenzie, Arm- strong -4 ; YEA—Mayor Holmes, Dep- uty -Reeve Kenney, Young, Overbury, Cooper, McMurray, Taylor -7. This shows, without THE NEWS -RECORD specially pointing out, how each mem- ber voted. In answer to the question as to how THE NEws-REconn stands, for or against, we must say that we are in favor of the action taken by the Council. Tose in touch with the times, our town should give citizens the same accommodation, in the way of light, that the great majority of business men do. The extra cost will be trifling when coal oil, breakages, repairs, new lamps, risk, ,tcc., is considered. The several other c uestions asked should be referred to the Council at its next meeting, properly speaking to the various committees first. mad MR. I. RATTENBUItY was fir Toronto over Sunday. lyras McDONALn, of Chatham, is the competent new milliner at the Dry - Goods Palace. THERE will be a meeting to -night at the 25 Club rooms to organize cricket and tennis clubs. MISS SCARLETT, of Winthrop, has for the past week been visiting friends in Clinton, the guest of Mrs. Todd. POSTMASTER MUNRO, of Auburn, created a ray of sunshine on THE NEWS -RECORD sanctum by his presence last Friday. MR. W. C. SEARL.E succeeded in be- coming familiar with the grip while in Logan recently. He returned last week. Miss KATE V. SHEPPARD has return- ed from a delightful three week's visit to Mrs. (Dr.) McNally, nee Miss Lane, of Tara. J. E. BLACKALL, V. S., was called to Brussels the other day to consult with Doc. Warwick as to an epidemic among horses. Many had died. The verdict was "sporadic influenza," caus- ed from bad drainage and improper stabling. A SENSIBLE OPINION. --Mr. ,iohn Mole, of Auburn, who called on us the other day, said THE NEWS -RECORD was cheap enough at, $1.25 a year. We give more reading matter than the great majority of local papers at $1.50 a year. Wliose Your Hailer!
