South Huron ProtCSt. The Reform press of Huron has an- nounced that the South Huron protest has been dropped and that Mr. Mc- . )Bean would be allowed to take his seat. TSE NEWS -RECORD is informed that snob is not the case and that the pro- test will go to court. Several saw -offs, we are informed, were offered to drop the matter, but the case is considered so certain for another election that all were declined. Fire at the Flax 1Hi11. Mr. D. A. Forrester's flax mill had a very narrow escape from a serious con- flagration last Wednesday evening. Ey accident a lantern was upset by one of the workmen and inflammable material became ignited. The fire alarm was sounded and the company soon. on the way to the mill, but their services were not required. The mill employes were fortunate in being able to put the fire out. Runaway Horses. A team of horses belonging to Mr. Samuel Cox, of the Maitland Block, r'an away last Friday. They were tied to a post in front of Johnson Sc Armour's harness shop. and took fright from the ringing of the town hell and were soon free. Mr. Geo. Cottle secur- ed the mane of the bridleless animal and heroically maintained his grip until Scruton's butcher shop was veached, where he gave up the struggle without conquering. At Fair's corner they turned up Princess stree and were captured by J. L. Weir without much damage. Farmers' Institute at Winghain. The regular annual meeting of the West Huron Farmers' Institute will be held at Wingham on Jan 17th, begin- ntng at 10 A. M. There will be three practical speakers supplied by the Cen- tral Institutes, assisted by local talent. The question discussed will consist of : The Road Question in all its Bearings; Drainage, Where, When and How it Should be Done; Dairying: Dairy Cattle; Swine Breeding; Grain Growing; Root and Corn Culture; The Best • Mode of Dialtivating the Soil; The Silo; The Care of Live Stock, and Fruit Growing. .As these are live topics everybody should try to attend. Newspapers and Men. The Goderich Star has donned a hand- some new dress and is much Unproved in appearance. The Ripley Express has .put on new winter clothes in the way of a new dress of type and its advertisers seem to•appreciate the change by increasing their advertising space. The Toronto Globe's Christmas nunr- ber, issued last Saturday, is comprised of 3(1 pages, and is certainly a credit to that office. The front page is a unique and artistic conception, representing in photographs the little children of the North American continent, Englrnd, the Hawaiian Islaruls, Japan and China, while Santa Claus looks smil- ingly upon his kingdom of youngsters. Hon. Mackenzie Rowell, who has heen called upon to form a oabinet, is an old newspaper man. Last week the New Era issued a twenty -page paper. W6dding on Thursday. A very pleasing event transpired at the residence of Mrs. A. Hilien last, Thursday afternoon in the marriage of her daughter, Miss Annie, to Mr. Jas. Walker. The couple were made man and wife by Rev. J. H. Fairlie, the bride being given away by her brother Robert. Miss Lizzie Hillen (sister of the bride) acted as bridesmaid, while Mr. John Walker assisted the groom. The bride was dressed in a pretty brown travelling suit and looked• the picture of happiness. Miss Watson, of Mitchell cousin of the bride, played the wedding march as the bride and groom approached. Among the forty guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Dorrance, Mr. and Mrs. Kerr, Miss and Mr. Hillen (of McKillop) Miss Watson, of Mitchell and Mr. and Mrs. Rune, of Stratford. After the ceremony dinner was served and congratulations extend ed. The presents were numerous, ap propriate and will prove lasting testi mrniials. A large number of friends gathered at the depot at 4.45 and s,howored rice and articles emblematic of the occasion on the happy couple. The honeymoon was spent in St rat fortl anal Mr. and Mrs. Walker are now pet- tna'Ient residents of Clinton.

Xniiis Tree Entertainment. There will be a Christmas Tree S. S. Entertainment in the Ontario Street Methodist Church on Friday evening next. The programme will consist of songs, readings, recitations, &c. Mr. G. F. Oakes has had the little folks in training. The tree will be loaded with presents. The Pork Market. Pork is a little on the decline in price, $4.75 being the figure for the best. Those who have pork should not; wait too long for a rise, because more money will be lost than saved in the long run. A fair price should always be accepted. Local dealers do not give any encouragement for higher prices this week. - Ile's Competent and Responsible. Goderich signal. We are eased to learn that the tender of Sr. S. Cooper, of Clinton; for the erection of the House of Refuge has been accepted. Mr. Cooper was formerly a resident of Godetich but re- moved to Clinton some years ago, where he has since resided. Mr. Coop- er's tender was accepted out of a total of fifty-eight sent in. We congratulate Mr. Cooper on securing the contract, also the county in obtaining such a competent and responsible contractor as Mr. Cooper. Be Warned in Time. The inspector of registration offices for Ontario is visiting the different towns and villages. He reports that all over the province there has been great neglect of the registration of births, marriages and deaths and the Government has accordingly decided to institute prosecutions. All persons who have not registered these events had better take warning and register at once with the clerk of the munici- pality in which they reside, as heavy fines are imposed on all offenders. A Timely flint. An exchange gives this timely hin to farmers : It does not always pay for farmers to wait until the holidays to market their fowls, but it is hard to impress this fact on their minds. The majority of them hold every fowl .until a few days prior tothe two great holi- days, and then the market is so com- pletely glutted that they are obliged to take what they can get. If they would commence now and market therm gradually and save a few choice ones for Christmas time they would re- alize better profits." High School Board. At a special meeting of the High School Board last Friday evening, to consider the award of the County Council for arrearages on county grant, the following motion by W. Jackson and H. Foster was put and carried : "This Board accepts the action of the County Coun k•i1 at its December session with respect to county grant and here- by waives the claim which it has made for arrearages on account of county grant and that the secretary send a copy of this resolution to the county clerk." St. Paul's Entertainment. There will be a rare treat in store for those who attend St. Paul's Church S. S. and Christnias Tree entertainment in the town hall on Friday evening, 21st inst. The highly successful treat given about a year ago should he suffi- cient guarantee of what will be on Friday evening. The bill of fare this year will consist of well prepared songs, recitations, fancy marches and drills and a highly popular cantata entitled " The Land of Nod," with cast of 27 characters. The distribution of pre- sents to the scholars will also take place. Remember Friday evening. Royal Templar Officers.
