T2 TISTI0S.—During the past year
dere were registered with Town Clerk
loath 46 births, 34 marriages and 20
Oaths.
0UNDED.—Mr Fred Folland evi-
entl .. did not allow many, cows to
pe at large last year without impound -
them, for his returns show that he
lrnpounded 40 cows, 12 horses, 2
sheep and 1 pig.
SAFE ARRIVAL,—Messrs McGregor
and Hunter shipped 640 lambs to the
old country a few dads ago, via Port-
land, Messrs John Hunter and Joseph
Copp, of Clinton, took charge of them
during the voyage, and word was re-
ceived last week of their safe arrival,
without the loss of an animal.
SSED LOTS OF FUN.—A lady
who is t r ntj»,a visit to Clinton,
enjoyed, recent y. t`he second sleigh
de of her life. It is scarcely neces-
sary to say that she is not a native of
this country. If she wants to experi-
ence something of the real pleasure of
a sleigh -ride, she should wait until the
pitch hole season arrives.
'NOT SETTLED. — The ,liquor case
-+against Mr. Robt. Mason was resumed
before Messrs. McGarva and Steep, on
Friday; a little fresh evidence was tak-
en, but no decision was arrived at. The
Inspector, thinks that' a conviction
should be given ; the magistrates are
not quite clear on this, from the nature
of the evidence, and the matter has,
therefore, been submitted to the Pro •
vincial Inspector• for his opinion.
AFTER POSITIONS.—Members of the
County' Council are being canvassed,
ersesnat,lly and by letter, for the posi-
iOn, of ),manager of the House of Re-
wad there are a number of aspi-
ants for the tSosition. It is expected
bat the aPPointment will be made at
he present session of the council, so as
have the land in connection with the
wilding cared for. The matron will
t likely be chosen •till ,the June ses-
ODDFELLOWS — At the last regular

R.S.S—J. H. Kerr Organist—J.J.Gibbings
COULD NOT ATTEND.—Deputy-Reeve
Kennedy- is this week Clinton's only
representative at the meeting of the
County Council, the precarious nature
of Reeve Macmurchie's health, notal -
lowing him to attend. This was ex-
ceedingly unfortunate, as he would in
all probability have been selected as
Warden. The members of the County
Council were unanimous in their ex-
pressions of regret at the absence of
Clinton's Reeves, whom they had not
only learned to respect but to esteem
very highly for his sterling integrity
and farhiliarfty wlth all public matter s.
THE WARDENSII•IP. — At the first
sitting of the County Council on Tues-
day, Messrs Alex. McPherson,(Liberal)
reeve of Turnbury, and B. S. Cook,
(Conservative) reeve of Howick, were
nominated for the position of Warden.
Mr McPherson was elected, the vete
standing McPherson 25, Cook 24. Mr
�'',• McPherson will undoubtedly make a
good presiding officer, and is deserving
of the honor, and the very same words
will apply to his opponent, who is a
somewhat younger man. Two mem-
'hers of the council were absent through
illness, Reeve McMurchie, of Clinton,
and Reeye Malloy, of Colborne.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS.—Perhaps
nothing shows the progress made by
the Clinton Collegiate Institute during
the last three yea, s better than the fig-
ures read by the Principal at the last
meeting of the 'board. The numbers
of pupils enrolled were as follows :---
.
—
. 1892 -1st, term, 114, 2nd term, lilt, 3rd torni, 100
1893— 112, 104, 120
1894— " 140, ' • 133, " 141
3895— " 162.
. ' These figures show a very satisfacto-
ry increase, especially as the number
who were successful in passing the de-
part mental examinations also increased
each year. That the increase is largely
in the higher forms is shown by the
fact that in 1892 (first term) in the 4th
form there were only 14 pupils, and in
the 5th form only 3, while now there
are 40, and 12 respectively.
I.O.G,T. — The regular meeting of
Clinton Star Lodge was held in the
lodge room on Friday night. As the
night was stormy the attendance was
not quite so large as usual. A very
pleasant program was given in the form
of a spelling contest, the words berg
selected from the flrst page of the Nnw
ERA. Everybody enjoyed it exceed-
ingly. As we are drawing near to the
close Of another, quarter the election of
officer's takes place this (Friday) even•
ing. Alt members are urged to be pre -

came to Oolorado, where be thought
Mt o climate,wouldprove beneficial, but
s hopes were in vain; and coneump
tioncarried him off at the age of 28
ears. The funeral took place from
he family residence, Fingal, on Mon-
day, and was largely attended.
COLLEGIATE NOTES. -- The upper
forms are keenly aave to the fact that
they•have a great deal at stake. As
the time swiftly passes each realizes
that the testing day is fast approach-
ing. The brain is being stored with
knowledge and the mind is thins being
trained in order that when weighed in
the balance next July they may not be
found wanting. The lower forms, too,
have learned from the report just pub-
lished what their i elative standing is.
In some cases there is being exhibited
the keenest ambition to excel. This is
most commendable and invariably
brings its own reward. The 'football
club have entered the Western Dis-
trict Series, and are looking for the
Hough Cup. This cup is open for com-
petition to all the High Schools,, Col-
legiate Institutes and Colleges of
Western Ontario. Our team is rather
stronger this year than it was last.
With systematic practice we think our
boys have a good chance for the trophy.
NOTES.—A nephew of Mr. Fred. Fo
land had the misfortune to fall from
building in Clevelarid, breaking sever
ribs and also received internal tnjarie

small house and lot on Cutter street,
