COL EG TATE—We have this week an
unusnally large and interesting grist of
Collegiate notes, but are reluctantly
compelled to omit them for want of
space.
VETERINARIES.—The following per-
sons from Huron have just graduated
from the Ontario Veterinary College:
a -W. H. Farrow. Auburn; G. D. For-
tune, Wingham; A. J. Gibbons, Wing -
ham; Jos. Hamilton, Auburn; A. M.
Perdue, Wingham.
HOTEL LIOENSES.—The West Huron
Commissioners will meet at the In-
spector's Office, Clinton, on Monday,
April 15, at 4 p.m., to grant licenses for
this year. Last year 35 hotel licenses,
2 shops, and 2 brewers were granted;
this year there is an application for one
more hotel than last year.
UNPLEASANT. —. Monday morning
found the streets in a decidedly slip-
pery condition, almost like glass, and
many persons, in the course of the
day, unceremoniously measured their
length. It was exceedingly dangerous
moving about, but we have heard of
no mishaps beyond severe bruises.
FOR THE WEST.—The following pas-
sengers left for the West during the
past week, being ticketed by W. Jack-
son :—Mr Johnson, Osnabrock, Dak.;
R. Lawrason, Osnabrock, Dak.; Miss
Morgan, Devil's Lake, Dak.; Mrs Peck,
Gardner, Dak.; Miss Parker, Inkster,
Dak.; W. Hockridge, Fargo, Dak.; Miss
Trewartha, Qu'Appelle, Man.
VERT ILL—On Friday last the Mayor
and Town Clerk called upon Reeve
McMurchie and found him in such good
spirits that he announced his intention
of attending to his municipal duties as
soon as the weather got warmer. But
we are very sorry to say that on Satur-
day his illness assumed a serious nature,
andhe has since been confined to his
room. We trust, however, . that he
may speedily .recover.
SUPPOSED TO BE MAD.—On Wed-
nesday morning a dog, supposed to be
mad, passed through town, and bit over
a dozen dogs in its progress; it was fol-
lowed by Messrs. Wheatley, Welsh
and Blackall, the latter getting a shot
at it and wounding it. Escaping from
these persons, it was hunted up in the
afternoon, and a well directed shot by
Mr Blackall put an end to its existence
A proclamation has been issued order-
ing that all dogs bitten shall be kept in
close confinement for seven weeks.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—Mr Lack Ken-
nedy has bought out the butchering
business formerly carried on- by Mr
John Scruton; for the present Mr
Scruton will remain in the employ of
Mr Kennedy. As the latter also in-
tendes to give personal attention to
the business, and had had good busi-
ness training, he will be in a position
to make the venture thoroughly suc-
cessful. Taking hold of the business
so near Easter, it is not likely that he
will have time to make an Easter dis-
play.
GOOD TEMPLARS. — In addition to
efforts which this lodge is making for
the cause of Temperance, the style of
entertainment given has the effect of
cultivating the powers of the mind.
At the regular meeting last •Friday
evening the following program was
given for the good of the order:—React-
ings by Misses 0. Barge and S. Moore
and Messrs Hartley and McVittie;
duet, Misses Pattison and Kinsman;
instrumental solo, Miss Goodwin;
mouth -organ solo, Mr Foster. All the
numbers were well rendered. The
committee who are preparing a pro-
gram for the next meeting are Misses
Tebbutt and Moore and Mr Smith.
There were two propositions for mem-
bership. The lodge is having a pros-
perous time under the able manage-
ment of Mr D. Stephenson, Chief
Templar.
STOCK NOTES.—Mr James Snell, of
Hayne -Barton stock farm, has just
sold a fine young Durham bull, Victor,
to Mr George Dickie, of Hyde Park.
This bull's dam is Irene 12th, =6349=,
got by Prince of Seaham —2274= . This
cow, Irene, has taken more first prizes
than any other cow of her age in the
county, and although not having been
shown for the last two years, is look-
ing fresh and healthy, and is a good
milker. The sire of the calf is New
Year - --17251=, bred by J. & W. B.
Watt, Salem, Ont.; got by Village Hero
1432; dam, Lady English 2nd =17085-=,
by Brampton Hero =-324— . This bull
is one of the best bulls that has been
imported into this country, and Mr
Dickie has got a young calf that should
make as good, if taken care of. Mr
Snell has still three good young bulls
for sale.
YOUNG LIBERALS.—The Young Lib-
eral Club had a most enthusiastic meet-
ing Friday night. The Council cham-
ber was filled. Several had come in
from the country to hear what the chief
feature of the evening, the debate, was
about "Resolved, that Government
House should be abolished." The
Speakers on the affirmative were R.
Holmes, of the NEW ERA, and Mr
Jas. Scott, barrister. Messrs. Ernest
Coombs B.A., and J. Houston, M.A.,
took the negative. All the speeches
were good and won loud applause.
The meeting declared that the negative
had clearly proved that Government
House must remain. At the close of
the debate several expressed their opin-
ions on the subject which had been dis-
cussed, and spoke in complimentary
terms of the evening's entertainment.
As quite a number of the Young Lib-
erals are also members of the Loral
Union, which meets this evening, i t has
been thought hest to cancel the Young
Liberal meeting. The next debate will
be on "Resolved, that women. both
married and single, shall have the fran-
chise" Some good speakers are prepar-
ing for this debate.
ENFORCED HOLIDAY. --Miss Jernime
Helyar, of town, has been spending
some time at home, owing to her
school in Orillia being closed on ac-
count of the prevalence of diptheria
there; she expects that it will re -open
after the Easter holidays.
HOUSE .OF REFUGE MATTERS.—Mr
Fowlie, architeot, of the House of Re-
fuge, was in town last week in,connec-
tion therewith. If the weather is favor-
able, active work of building will be
commenced about the. middle of the
month. Mr McBeth, contractor for the
barn, discovered that he had made a
mistake of about $80 against himself,
in carrying out his figures in the ten-
der; even with this amount added his
Crice was still the lowest, but the
hairman informed him that no alter-
ation could be allowed, unless the coun-
cil as a whole ratified it. It is expected
that the House of Refuge. Committee
will meet here on the 9th, and that Dr.
Chamberlain, the Provincial Inspector,
will be present. A copy of the propos-
ed by-laws was sent to the doctor, and
this is what he says of them:—"I have
carefully looked over the by-laws and
find them excellent;—so far as they re-
late to children those portions may be
expunged from the ty-law, as the bill
now going through theLegislature will
prevent pauper children from being
sent to the county poor house."

Taylor, local agents of the Confedera-
tion Life Insurance Co.,, go to Toronto
next week to attend thannual meet-
ing

turned to town and expects to remain
here. There is no sleighing in town,

The
Second
Shipment
Of Embroideries we have received this season oame to hand
last week, not as big as our early shipment, but a
choice assortment of the latest Novelties of the season,
in Muslin and Cambric edgings, fresh from the looms
of the Swiss Artiz tn. Come in and see them; the
patterns are entirely different from any we have shown.
The Newest Styles.
There's no question as to who has the largest stock, the great-
est variety, the best values in Dress Goods. We have
by far the largest assortment to choose between, we
. certainly have the best.

us people are finding this out. Whether you want

This week the majority of the ladies of Clinton will display a great
deal of interest in the Millinery openings, which is right and proper
in our opinion, but to be added to this interest is what their broth-
ers and husbands are to wear for Head Dress this spring, and trust
that the suggestion that we can outfit in Caps or Hats for Men and
Boys', for an outlay that will enable you to economize in a proper
way, namely, that of buying High Class Goods at reasonable prices.
N. B.—A point of interest ao mothers lies in the fact that our range
of School Caps for boys and girls at 25c. is unequalled in value.

THE ONE PRICE CASH STORE. Butter and Eggs taken at Cash prices
From
Two
Standpoints
Our opening was a decided success. Our patrons pronounced
it so because of the exquisite taste displayed by our Mil-
liners in their work, and because of the beauty and wide -
range of shapes and patterns exhibited.
This year's styles are said by conoissieurs to be the mostwear-
able ever introduced. It sometimes happens that the
prevailing styles are becoming to certain types of features
and much less suited to others, but this year the fashion
leaders have been equally considerate of all kinds of
faces, and the styles are not only beautiful, but becoming.
Of course the beauty of the finished article depends much
upon the taste and judgment of the artist who trims the
hat, as well as upon the designer of the shape. Our Mil-
liners, have the requisite taste, judgment and materials
to furnish you with a beautiful Hat or Bonnet that will
perfectly suit both the cast of your features and the
weight of your purse.
Frons our point of view, the opening was distinctly successful.
The congratulations of visitors who thronged our show
room, were of course very gratifying, and the many or-
ders given were not less so. We are confident of a very
large season's business.
If you were unable to get as good a view as you would like to
have had on opening day, because of the great crowd,
we will be pleased to have a call from you any day this
week, or on Saturday evening, for another look through.
