rolled 244, girls „218, an increase of 28
over February, 1893. The entertain-
ment is progressing nicely. There was
a general discussion about placing furn-
aces in the school and securing proper
ventilation, but no action was taken.
It was decided that the Board visit the
school next Monday at 3 o'clock and
ascertain the general state of the build-
ing. Adjourned.
ABREAST OF THE TIMES.—The follow-
ing from our town cotern. applies to
THE NEws-RECORD so well that• we
reproduce it, merely changing the name
of the paper :—"THE NEWS -RECORD has
always kept abreast of the times, and it
is continually putting in new material,
having added a lot of new type recent-
ly. We have the most conveniently
arranged premises for a printing busi-
ness in the county, and are in a posi-
tion to do work that cannot be excelled
outside of the cities, while in many cases
our prices are lower. We shall be glad
to show samples of work and prices and
look for a continuance of the generous
support that the public have hitherto
bestowed on their favorite paper, THE
Ni.we-RECORD.
PUZZLED AND MIEED.—A young lady
of Clinton, who by the way is an es-
teemed acquaintance of the writer, was
writing two letters the other day.
One of them was worded, we presume,
as all kind, delicate and loving epistles
should be ; the other in the plain
every -day business style that a letter
of the character might be expected to
read. Both letters were signed, seal-
ed, stamped, addressed ane delivered
to Postmaster Fair—or probably drop-
ped in the box—with all the caution
and care possible. Shortly after the
estimable young lady found that she
had made a most terrible mistake
'The letter to the gentleman of her
choice had been addressed to the
wrong party. The affectionate epistle
could not be recalled. Already it was
speeding on its awful mission. Both
letters arrived long ere this, hut THE
NEWS-RECORD has not learned the re-
sult. The error just reminds us of
printers' and proof-readers' errors that
occur occasionally in the best regulat-
ed, offices. Young ladies should al-
ways compare envelopes and letters
before sealing them; even then the
fatal blunder is liable to creep in. But
probably, after all, the better way
would he to reserve affectionate words
for a personal meeting. Then mis-
takes would not likely tell tales.
MRs. J. W. BMA returned from
her eastern visit last week.
MRs. W. Mum, town, spent part of
last week visiting friends in Exeter.
Mn. W. H. PEnniw was in the
county town yesterday,
Miss SCARLF.TT returned to her
home at Winthrop last Monday.
Mit. H. C. BREWER, cf the Molsons
Bank, was in Exeter last week on busi-
ness.
AN Elimville correspondent says : —
G. W. Holman spent Saturday in Clin-
ton.
MR. E. FLooDy, of Toronto, was in
town the latter part of the week. He
is in the insurance business.
MR. JOHN JOHNSTON, town, purposes
taking a several months visit to Dakota
and the Canadian Northwest, He
leaves the latter part of May.
MR. Trios. CONNELL, of East Grand
Forks, Dakota, a former resident of
Goderich township, is laid up with
typhoid fever. At last accounts he was
recovering.
FARM SOLD.—Mr. Henry Carter, of
Goderich township, has bought from
Mr. A. McKenzie, town his 50 -acre
farm in Tuckersmith for $2,150. The
property is said to be a bargain at this
price.
THE MILITARY BALL.—The 33rd
Battalion ball at•,Goderich, which will
take place the latter part of April or
May, promises to be a most brilliant
affair. It will be held in the magnifi-
cent agricultural hall. Capt. Holmes
and the other officers have arrange-
ments well under way.
HOLIDAY.—The public should not
lose sight of the fact that the 23rd of
this month, Good Friday, will he a
statutory holiday, when all banks in
Canada will he closed. Merchants and
farmers having notes maturing, or
other banking business to attend to on
that day, should govern themselves
accordingly.
NAMES ALIKE.—The following from
the Acton Pree Press does not refer to
a gentlemen of the same name in Clin-
ton, however much they look alike :—
"Mr. Lachlan Kennedy arrived in
Acton last week from Alpena, Mich.,
where he has been visiting friends.
The past year or so he has been travel-
lipg through the North-West."
DRAMATIC COMPANY.—The Exposi-
tor says of a company that are play-
ing here this week : The Fraser Drama-
tic Company is playing in Cardno's Hall
all this week. It contains some actors
whose superiors have nevdr been seen
in Seaforth, and the company as a
whole is a really good one, infinitely
better than the usual run of dramatic
and comedy companies that reach this
point. Mr. A. G. Fraser's acting
abounds in those deft touches an
delicate interpretations , which make
acting an art, and there are others in
his company not far behind.
HURON VETS.—A meeting of the
Huron Veterinary Association was
held in the Town Hall, Winglram, on
the 8th inst. Among those present
were : J. E. Blackall, Clinton; J.. Gib-
bons, Dungannon; J. J. Walker,
Londeshoro; J. Wilkinson, Ripley;
H. Huck, Mildmay; J. J, Elliott,
Clifford; R. H. Fortune, Wroxeter;
John Wilson and Jos. Colley, Wing -
ham. Considerable business of a
private nature was transacted, and the
following members of the association
appointed to wait on the Perth Vet-
erinary Association, which meets at
St. Marys on the 30th instant, to con-
fer on several subjects. Mr. J. J.
Walker read a paper on Gastric Com-
paction in the horse, and Mr. Jos.
Golley read a paper on Enterities.
Animated discussion followed these
papers, which was taken part in by a
great many of the members. The next
greeting of the association will be held
n Goderich on the 20th of July next.
THE LATE JOSEPH WHITEI-IEAD.—
One by one Huron pioneers are pass -
ng to their reward. After long and
useful and in, some cases eventful
ives the Hand of Death comes while
heir •usefpiness seems to he yet re-
uired. .In the death of Mr. Joseph
Vhitehead on the 12th inst. one of the
most prominent pioneers of the
aunty of Huron isremoved. Although
he deceased had been ailing for some
ears, he was confined to the house
ut a few short months. The immedi-
te cause of death was dropsy and
cart trouble. The late Mr. White -
cad was 80 years of age at the time of
lis death. His native home was Guis-
oro, Yorkshire, England. Nearly
eventy years ago he was the first
ireurau on the Darlington and Stock -
on railroad for passenger traffic. He
vas also engaged in railroad work in
cotland. About forty-five years ago he
a.me to Canada and received the con-
vect for building a portion of the
Vestern line and also the Buffalo and
Jake Huron Branch to Goderich
ater he was engaged north of Clinton,
e believe at Blyth, in the milling
usiness. Still later he was awarded
he contract for the building of a
ortion of the Canadian Pacific rail -
'ay in Manitoba and resiled there
or a few years. His residence in
linton was in all about 30 years. He
'as once elected to the Dominion
Iouse as an independent for one of
he Hurons, but was defeated by Horace
orlon, of Goderich, a straight Liberal,
1 the second appeal to the electors.
e was reeve of the village of Clinton
1858-'59, with S. H. Rance, Jonas
ibbings, Geo. Fulton, Wm. Rowell,
'58, and W. Murray, George Brown,
hos. Jackson, Wm. Taylor and S. H.
ance as councillors in 1859. George
rown was Reeve in 1860. From 1801
1867, seven years, Mr. Whitehead
as again Reeve. He was Mayor of
e towh of Clinton from 1887 to 1889,
ree years. As Reeve and Mayor he
eyed the town officially for twelve
ars and served it faithfully. A few
'ars ago he bought the property
here the McKay block now stands,
r the purpose of erecting a building
his memory. The McKay block,
med after his third wife—he was
ur times married—is the one he
ilt. It cost about $10,000. The
urth wife survives and three children
the first—Mrs. Ross, Whitemouth,
an. ; William, of Long Island, N. Y.
d Charles of Brandon, Man. The
neral took place to Clinton cemetery
t Thursday, all the stores being
sed. The town band headed the
('urn procession and the Council
ended in a body. The pall bearers
re Messrs. R. Irwin, Jlames Fair,
Tiplacly, R. Coats, J. Smith, J. W.
yin, R. Peacock and G. Swinbank.
