THE NEW BALD STAND.—The Town Band last Saturday everrgngp• occupied the new strand on the irflarlet and all will now admit the structure was 'badly needed: Mr. J. C. Gilroy circulated a petition with the object of securing money to pay for the stand and our citizens responded nobly. Mr. Thomas McKenzie was .awarded the contract and the result is the town has some- thing both useful and ornamental. Hereafter it will be used for the weekly concerts. POSTAL REGULATIONS.—As a num- ber of convictions have recently been made by the post office department, we print the circular issued by the postmaster -general, calling attention to the following section of the Post - office act, 1886: Section 93—"Every- one who encloses a letter or letters, or any writing intended to serve the pur- pose of a letter, in a parcel pasted for the parcel post, or in a packet of samples or patterns, or in a newspaper posted to pass as a newspaper, or in any mail matter sent by post not be- ing a letter, shall incure a penaly not exceeding $40 and not'less than $10 in each case. MARRIED.—The following from the Bellefontaine, Ohio, Exannner, refers to the marriage of two highly respect- ed former residents of this section:— "One of the prettiest church weddings even- seen in Bellefontaine occurred at the Episcopal church Ia�t evening i�lt 7. o'clock. Tho contracting parties were Dr.. Forbes Godfrey, of Toronto, anada, and Miss Mary Carson, of Belgrave, Canada, (formerly of Clinton) the beautiful sister of Mrs. W. H. Hele, of this city. At the appointed hour -for the ceremony the wedding march stilled the assembly and specta- tors, when the attendants and ushers filed down the isle of the church, followed by the bride upon the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. W. H. Hele. They. were joined at the altar by the groom, when the beautiful and im- pressive Episcopal service was dispens- ed by the rector of the church, Rev. J. W. Thompson. Iinniediately after the ceremony the wedding party repaired to the residence of Mr. \V. H. Hele on Nortl>a.Maclriver street, where congratu- lations . and best wishes were offered, and after the wedding feast the bride and groom were conveyed to the depot Where they took the 8.25 train for, Cleveland. The Episcopal Church re- sembled a fairyland picture. The de- corations were profuse and gorgeous and 'the pews were filled by a brilliant .:assemblage of our people. Those who got the benefit of the pulpit decorations pronounce them the most beautiful and artistic ever seen in Bellefon- taine." TUE LATE JOSEPH CHIDLEY.—That noble pioneer, Joseph Chidley, is num- bered among the silent. He died last Saturday at the age of 61 years and 11 months. He had been ailing for a con- siderable time from the .effects of la grippe. All human effort was without avail. The deceased was born in Dev- onshire, Eng., and carne to this coun- try abouit the year 1851 and resided for several years in the township of Clarke. In 1854 ,he removed to Clinton and en- gaged with the late Malcolni BlcTabr- gart in the fanning mill business. In his travels on the road he made Eery many friends ; to throughly know him was to form a fast friendship never to be sev- ered as long /IS life would Last. His every act and all his dealings were so conservative that he commanded the admiration and respect of all classes of people. In 1861 the late Mr. Chidley entered into partnership with the late M. McTaggart and the present Reeve McMuchie. This continued until about eleven years ago, when Mr. Chidley retired front the firm. He bought the bankrupt furniture and undertak- ing stock of Diehl and Co. about.eleven years since and followed this business, ably assisted by his son Joseph,.up to the time of his demise. He was for' some years a most prominet figure in municipal politics and several tunes refused the nomination for parliamen- tary honors. He faithfully served on the local Board of Health, as council- ilor, and as Reeve for six years. The tleceased was twice married, seven children being born by the first and four by the second wife, the latter and eight of a family surviving. The late Mr. Chidley was a staunch supporter of the great Conservative party and an adherent of the Presbyterian church. The funeral to Clinton cemetery yes- terday was largely attended, the pall bearers being Thomas Bell of Wing - ham, John l3roadfoot of Seaforth, Thomas Tilt of Goderich, Thos. Jack- son, Sr,, Rohert Coats, JarnesFair,. Sr., Donald McCorvie and Alex. Mckenzie of Clinton. To the widow and family the heartfelt syn) pithy of the whole Townt Toldes.

A MOST SUCCESSFUL CELEBRA- • TION IN THE HUB OF IIURON. • GOOD .�9a'ORTS—A LARGE GATHERING— . 1' AND FINE WEATHER. For some years the Town of Clinton (Seems to have lagged behind in the race with neighboring and outside towns in the way of providing innocent recreation for our people and our coun- try' neighbors. The Tst of July, 1894, which was this year celebrated through- out the Dominion last Monday, was, not allowed to go by default. in Clinton. Several weeks ago energetic com- mittees wore publicly appointed, as previously published, and one and all went to work with a will with the determination that a superior bill of fare should be placed before the public. The. response was such that the. end should not be yet. One day at least in each year should be set apart for recreation in Clinton, and that day should either be the 21th of May or the 1st of July. This year the workers have been so numerous that we re- frain from mentioning names, except Secretary F. R. Hodgens, Treasurer W. Coats and Chairman Dr, Shaw. At early morn Major-General Thorn- ton fired the first grand i oyal salute and the boys of Clinton succeeded admirably in the general bombardment of the town. • The Blyth and Clinton Bands, under the leadership of Messrs. Gidley and Strunk, gave an hour's delightful open air concert from 8.45 to 9.45 front the new band stand. MAGNIFICENT PROLE 4SION. Space will not permit a full descrip- tion.
