FOR MANITOBA.—Mr J. B. Weir and
family left on Tuesday for Souris,
Man„ where he goes to work on shares
a farm belonging to Mr A. Innis; quite
a number gathered at the station to
see them off. They were ticketed
through by Mr W. Jackson.
ENOUGH TO DO IT.—It took 1? men,
3 dogs, 4 boys, an ex -town -councillor,
the weigh scales superintendent and
the Chief of Police, armed with crow-
bars, shovels, etc. to find the opening
to a drain on Monday afternoon. We
do not mean that the whole of these
,,were working; but the encouragement
of their presence and the wise remarks
made and suggestions furnished by the
onlookers all helped, and as the old
lady said "everthing helps."
A TOWN ULOCK.—Mr Hess, of ZUcich,
was here on Tuesday, inspecting the
tower of the market cuilding, to see
what changes would he necessary to
make in case it was decided to pur-
chase a town clock. He thinks the
tower plenty strong enough, but sug-
gests the erection of an extension on
top for the accommodation of the
dials. Of course nothing definite will
be done in the matter until it has been
thoroughly sifted and decided upon
by the council.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—Afteraresidence
of nearly 30 years in town. and owing to
the continual illness of his wife Mr
C. Carline has disposed of his boot and
shoe business to Mr R.J.CIuff, who has
taken possession. Mr and Mrs Carline
have enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of the public during their residence
here, and should they decide to les.ve
town, will carry with them the good
wishes of many friends. Mr Cluff is
by no means a stranger, having learn-
) ed his business here with the late C.
Cruickshank, but has been in business
elsewhere, and will no doubt do his
best to secure a share of trade.
COLD DIP.—Considering that in the
natural order of things we should be
approaching the balmy breezes of
gentle spring, we had last week decid-
ed cold weather, and on Wednesday
night the thermometer dropped to
15 degrees below zero. This has been
the most severe winter ever experi-
enced in this section and those of our
citizens who may have longed for the
old days of deep snow and cold, brac-
ing weather, have been more than sat-
isfied. The sun, however, is beginning
to show its power, and it will not be a
great while before the roads in town
at any rate are bare of snow.
TAKING AWAY BOOKS.—For some
time it has been suspected that parties
have been taking books out of the Me-
chanics' Institute without reporting
them to the Librarian. Lately proof
has been obtained that such is a fact.
One girl was seen taking a hook from
the shelf and •putting it under her
mantle. Several other parties have
been discovered, and last Thursday
evening the directors instructed the
Book Committee to take steps to re-
cover the books and prgsecute the
parties if necessary. Since then fur-
ther proof has been obtained, and there
will be no difficulty in securing con-
viction in some cases.
Vomit; RASCALS.—On Monday Con-
stable Wheatley arrested two small
boys, and gave them a short time in
tho Lock-up for stealing whips. They
had gone to the dri ving shed of the Bap-
tist church, on Sunday evening, and
also to those of the Commercial, and
gathered in nearly all the whips they
could lay their hands upon; most of
which have since been returned to
their owners. The boys are quite
small, but are pretty bad, and it was
thought that a few hours' imprison-
ment would do them good. On Satur-
day Mr Wheatley had quite an ex-
perience in recovering a gold ring,
stolen from a house by a small boy, who
is too young for a reformatory, but too
big not to know he was doing wrong.
MASONIC. -- Friday evening was a
special one for Clinton Masons. It
was the occasion of the official visit of
H. R. Collins, of Exeter, who is the
District Deputy Grand Master. The
members of the lodge gave him a suit-
able reception and showed themselves
off to good advantage throughout the
whole proceedings. Mr Collins, who
is a brilliant speaker, spoke of the
pleasure be had in being in Clinton
Lodge, and highly praised the work as
done here. .A candidate was examined
in the usual way and Mr Collins paid a
special tribute to the excellence of the
work,by saying that he had never seen
a candidate acquit himself better. He
also asked the lodge to bold here a
lodge of instruction sometime in April,
and the 16th was fixed upon. It
is expected, accordingly, that mas-
onry will be ably exemplified on that
occasion. After the regular work was
completed refreshments were served
and a pleasant evening's entertain-
ment came to an end.
HOUSE OF REFUGE.—Reeves Kerr, of
Brussels; Eilher. of Stephen; McEwan,
of Hay; McDonald, of Hullett, and
Holt, of Goderich, members of the
r House of Refuge Committee, met here
on Monday, and in company with De-
puty -Reeve Kennedy, proceeded to the
location of the House, and made a
general survey of the premises. Mr
McMurchie, also a member of the com-
mittee, was unable to attend owing to
illness, and Mr Cook, of Howick, was
not present. After their return to
town the tenders for the barn were
opened. There were 12 in all, varying
in:amount from a little over $800 to
over $1800; the tender of Mr McBeth,
of Stanley, of 0821, was accepted; this
is to include the entire work and ma-
terial in connection with its erection,
including painting; the first estimate
for the barn was $750. The use of the
land was let for the year to Mr H.
Plumsteel, at a rental of $50, he to
leave as much plowed as he receives.
The committee are to meet again in a
month.
AVCIIlNNT. •-- On Saturday evening
while Mr J. Brown was working_at the
macbinely connected with the glectria
Light plant, he had the misfortune to
have his thumb taken gff.. fie Is tor•
tunate in holding an accident policy in
the Travellers :Accident Insurance Co.,
rejiresented in Clinton by Israel Taylor,
as local agent.
HOUSE OF REFUGE SUPERINTEN-
DENTS,—At the June meeting. of the
County Council applications will be re-
ceived for theosition of General Sup-
erintendent oftheRouse of Refuge,
and also for the position of medical at-
tendant, who will be some physician in
regular practice. V'or the former posi-
tion it is said that there are already a
large number of applicants, although
the position will not, from the nature
of the circumstances, be a particularly
desirable one. We notice that an
effort is being made to boom a medical
man of Seaforth, for the position of
medical superintendent. We do not
know what view the County Council
may take of the matter, but it seems
to us that such an appointment would
be decidedly improper. The code of
regulations by which the management
will be governed, stipulates that "the
medical superintendent must visit the
inmates once or twice a week, and
more frequently,if necessary." Now
the advantage of a medical man being
close at hand must be apparent to
everybody, and while we would be glad
to see all the officials appointed from
among Clinton citizens (iif there should
be any applicants) we think the posi-
tion of medical superintendent in par-
ticular should go to some local prac-
titioner, who could be secured in every
case of emergency and on the shortest
notice.
NOTES. — Mr Ainsley, county road
commissioner, has been measuring up
the bridges in Tuckersnrith, as some of
them are to be rebuilt this slimmer.

several days, returns home this week.
Mr Will Tedford has returned home
from Chicago and may- remain for the

iously ill, is improving rapidly. After

sels. Mr J. B. Rumball's many friends
were pleased to see him out on Tues-
day. Owing to an unavoidable ac-
cident the electric lights went out early
on Saturday evening; the service by
this concern is excellent, and the
trwnspeople have had very little to
complain of. The Oddfellows, who
had intended having a sapper shortly,
have reconsidered the matter, and will
ptobably hold some equally pleasant
but less formal affair in their own
rooms. 4 quiet wedding took place
at the residence of Mr B. Kaiser, on
Tuesday evening, when his sister-in-
law, Miss Reid, was married to Mr G.

earth. Mr R. Irwin is attending a
meeting of the Home Circle at Toron-
