The next meeting will be on'the 19th, when it is expected that the debate on Woman's franchise will come off. ° STOCK NOTES.—Mr James Snell, of Hayne -Barton stock farm, this week sold the fine young Durham bull, Fidelity, to Mr Ira W. Johns, of Tuck- ersmith, for a good sum. This bull is by New Year tr om old Daisy, and is a bright roan, being an exceptionally fine ,calf. • NOT SOLD.—A house and lot' on James street, owned by Mrs Kitt, was offered by auction on Saturday, by Mr Howson, but was not sold. The Taylor farm, on the Huron road, Goderich township, known as Taylor's Corner, was put up by auction on Saturday, by Mr D. Dickinson, but did not find a purchaser. OUTSIDE MAIL SERVICE.—The postal department are asking for tenders for the carrying of the mail between Clin- ton and Summerhill for the next four years. Mr G. M. Kilty has been the mail carrier between these two points for some time, and giving every satis- faction, the probabilities are that it will again be awarded to him.

TowN MATTERS. — With even the closest economy, the Council will find it difficult to keep down expenses this year. Quite a number of the culverts are broken in and must be repaired; several of the leading walks are in such bad condition that they should be re- placed at once; in fact work cannot be started too quickly to insure personal safety. The contemplated school im- provements, extra street watering, and other unforseen contingencies, will tax the ingenuity of the council to keepthe rate down, as every member of the board is desirous of doing. LEAVING} TOWN.—Mr Robt. H. Chow - en, for some time an employee of the Doherty Organ Factory, has left town, having bought out the butchering business of Mr Clark, in Blyth. While at all times sorry to lose any of our citizens, we are particularly so in the case of those who have proved them- selves to be good citizens in every sense of the term. The people ofBlyth will find Mr Chowen to be thoroughly reliable and painstaking, while the business he engages in is one with which he is familiar, having formerly had considerable experience herein. Mrs Chowen will also be missed, she having been a member of Rattenbury St. Methodist church, and at the same time prominent in musical circles as an excellent alto singer. The good wishes of naany friends accompany them in their new home. SUDDEN DEATH.—"Captain" Driscoll was in the NEW ERA office, on Friday, as lively as ever, and seemed to be in the best of health. On Sunday morn- ing he was found dead in his bed. He was the caretaker of St. Joseph's church, and not turning up at the usu- al time, Mr Jas. Flynn went to bis house and getting no response to his knock he forced in the door, to find the old man lying dead in bed, appar- ently having died without a struggle. For many years he was employed on the G.T.R. and lived in a house by the side of the track, but he has not been engaged with them for sometime. He Lived alone, having three sons and two daughters residents of Bay City, Mich. He was a jovial character, and has always been known as "Capt." Dris- coll, but how he obtained the distinc- sion no one knows. His correct name was Dennis Drisccll, and his age 76 years. He was a particularly ardent supporter of Mr Cameron. His daugh- ter, Mrs. John Lovell, and her brother, wish to express their thanks to the townspeople for their attention to and the respect shown Mr. Driscoll. HOUSE OF REFUGE.—The members of the House of Refuge Committee met in the Council Chamber, on Tuesday, expecting that Dr. Chamberlain, the Provincial Inspector, would be present, but unfortunately, for the second time, he could not attend. All the members of the committee were present except Reeve McMurchie. The proposed rules and by-laws to govern the institution were read, amended and adopted, and 100 copies recommended to be printed for the use of members of the Council, and others. The Committee certainly cannot be charged with extravagence, in view of the salaries recommended for the different positions, as follows:— Inspector. $100 per annum, he to make an inspection at least once a week and oftener, if necessary. Caretaker, $250, with house accomodation and living; matron,$150; Physician, $150,he to find his own medicines. It will also be rec- ommended that a chaplain be secured, whose services are to be free. It was decided to procure a windmill (Brant- ford make) represented by Lavis and Miller, and to put in a Miller pump, with Parker patent cylinder. Mr. Mc - Beth, contractor for the barn, was pre- sent and showed the Committee his original estimates on the strength of which they are likely to recommend that his error of over $80 be lnade good JO hilii, PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.—The pu- biie school board met on Monday night. all the members being present. Mr Lough reported an average attend- ance of 413 for March. Owing to the large number of pupils in the lower division, the trustees may have to en- gage another teacher. Arbor day will be May 3rd, but not a school holiday. All pupils entering the primary depart- ment must present themselves at the school on Monday, the 22nd inst. It was decided to put furnaces and ven- tilators in the school, and for this pur- pose the board will ask the town coun- cil for an additional grant of $400 this year. The board has $500 on hand, and it is estimated that the improve- ments to the school will cost in the neighborhood of $1000. That furnaces are desirable no one will dispute, and the council has practically no option but to grant whatever amount the board asks for, but at the same time it must be remembered that the taxes will be increased by that amount. THE ORUSADERB.—The singing evan- gelists, Miss Jessie Rines, Mr Bert and H. J. Rives, working under the aus- pices of the Royal Templars, have been in our town for the past week. They openedjout by singing in the Ontario Street church on Sunday morning; in the afternoon they held a Gospel Tem- perance mass meeting in the town hall which was crowded to the doors; in the evening the trio sang rn the Rat- tenbury Street church, and, at the close ot the church service, held anoth- er mass meeting in the town hall, which was again crowded to the doors by a very appreciative audience. The meetings have also been well attended each evening since. To listen to the Crusaders in their magic meetings of picture, sone and story, is to be con- vinced not only of their earnestness, but by the force of their arguments, and they do an immense amount of ood. They are all members of the piscopal church. Their meetings close here to -morrow (Saturday) even- ing. COLLEGIATE NOTES. — Easter is at hand; the old halls did not assume any holiday garb, but dumbly listened to the holiday plans of the pupils, many of whom will remain in town, while some few will .pay a visit to the parent- al roof in the remote rural regions. All the teachers will spend a part of their vacation out of town. Miss McCutch- eon went on Thursday to her home at St.Marys. Mr Rand goes to -day to his home near Brantford. Mr Coombs to Richmond Hill, and Mr McLean to Windsor. Then on Tuesday April 16, the whole staff will attend the annual meeting of the Ontario Teachers' Asso- ciation, in the Normal School building, Toronto. Mr Houston was compelled by sickness to take Wednesday as a holiday. There was a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Football Club, Monday afternoon. Mr Coombs was appointed delegate to the meeting of the Western Football Association,to be held in Berlin, on Good Friday.— The field is rapidly drying, and our club will soon begin active practice. NOTES.—Mr W. Argent, who has been in Manitoba for some time, has returned to town and engaged with Mr Thos. Walker for the summer. Mr Israel Taylor, who is local agent for the Confederation ' Lite, has also been appointed agent for Blyth. The wife of Mr E. Dinsley, one of the pioneer residents of town, is confined to her room by illness; her son, Mr John Dinsley, of Wingbam, was here to see her this week. Mr Jas. Ford has erected a new stable to the rear of his residence. Miss Frances Oakes, of the Maitland, is spending a week in town with her cousin, Miss Winnie Good- win. Master Bert Hovey had the end of his finger cut off last week by a shaving machine. Mrs Annis, of Port Union, and Mrs Tremeer, of Glencoe, are visiting relatives here. Mr David Connell has taked a position with Mr S. S. Cooper. Mr Albert Stoneham has taken a position in Cincinnati.

Coats, of Toronto University, is home for his Easter holidays. Mr Ab. Switzer, of Detroit School of Medi- cine, is home on a visit. Mr Ratten- bury contemplates the erection of an additional sample room, expressly for millinery and mantle travellers. The Seaforth Expositor says:—"A number of young people attended a party at the residence of Mr J. C. Gilroy, of Clinton, last week." Mr James Scott, barrister, makes a business trip to Ni- agara Falls, N. Y., this week. We are sorry to hear that Mr Wm. Mason is confined to the house. Mrs Turner, who has been attending her daughter- in-law, Mrs Geo. Turner, of Tucker - smith, has returned to town, as the latter is improving in health. Mr Ira Johns, of Tuckersmith, left on Wed- nesday for Sarnia, where he represents the Knights of Maccabees. Mr Rem- ington, of Molsons Bank, Montreal, is visiting in town. Mr Freeman, who is employed at Stapleton, had his watch stolen a few days since, from off a nail where he had hung it; a strong suspic- ion as to the guilty party exists. Mr J. A. Cook, of Goderich township, has passed his final examination at Trinity Medical School. Toronto. Mr Bennett, manager of Mr Plumsteel's farm, got hurt the other day while attending the' Durhams, but is now able to work again. The snow is still so deep on some of the country roads that farmers have to plow a passageway. Persons who drive on grass walks should bear in mind that they are liable to be fined for it. Concerning the Mayor's procla- mation about tying up those dogs bit- ten by the mad dog, some are of opin- ion that he should have ordered all dogs to be enclosed for a certain time; be has no power to do this, hence the procla- mation in the form it was. Mr and Mrs. E. Whiteman, of EastWawanosh, were down last week on a visit to Mrs McLaughlin, (Mrs Whiteman's mother) Rev M. D. Coltman has purchased a Brantford- bicycle from Cooper & Co.
