HURON CENTRAL. --A meeting of the directors of the Huron Central Fair Will be held in the council room this up(Fridheaffairs of nyear. roet S.m., to wind GOING OUT OF BUSINESS,—Mr Jos. $iddlecombe, who has been in business An Clinton continuously for over 40 Tears, finds his health becoming so Vicarious that it is necessary for him Ito retire. He has:been a faithful citi- ten, and well deserves a rest, and we are glad to know that his retirement, when it takes place, does not mean his removal from town. IT <GOT RELIEF.—The other day Mr Blaokall was sent for very hurriedly to attend a sick horse which would nei- ther eat nor drink, and which, it was feared, was afflicted the same way as Mr Shipley's were. The horse's tem- perature indicated no ailment, and the veterinary was •for a moment puzzled, but when he looked in the horse's mouth, and found a piece of hemlock lumber wedged across its jaw, the cause of its ailment was soon solved. A FORMER RESIDENT.—Mr W. B. Scarth, of Winnipegg,whohasust been appointed Deputy Minister oflAgricul- ture, for the Dominion, and who was also an aspirant for the Lieutenant - Governorship of Manitoba, is an old Clintonian, he being a resident here at the time Moore & Hunter were in busi- ness, about 35 years ago, and he was also auditor on the B. •& L.H.R.R. It is remarkable how many old Clinton - ions have worked up into prominence. 'The salary he is to receive as Deputy - Minister is 11;3,600. • JUDGES. -- lour the Blyth fail' on Tuesday, Clinton furnished three judg- es, Mr. Kennedy being one on light horses; Miss C. l . Mountcastle on Fine arts; and Mr. Joseph Allanson on veg- etables. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY—An infor- mal meeting was held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday evening, for the formation of a horticultural society; a committee consisting of Messrs. A. Mc- Kenzie, T. Holloway, J. Stevenson, J. C. Gilroy, W. Coats, T. Cottle, and H. Foster, were appointed to secure mem- bers, and we understand are meeting with good success. Another meeting will be held next Tuesday night, of all who nave signified their intention of becoming •mernbeis, and any others who are interested. TOWN COUNOIL.—The regular meet- ing of the council was held on Monday evening. A letter was received from Mr George Cook, and also from Mr Brydone, concerning theewater tabletin front of Mr Cook's property, and the chairman of the Street Committee agreed to have the necessary work done. A petition was received front the butchers, asking that a tax be placed on parties who come in from the country and sell meat in less quan- tities than by the quarter; ;some mem- bers expressed themselves as favorable to the petition, and the petition was referred to the by-law committee, as being within its scope. The purchase of a new suction hose and play pipe for the engine was left in the hands of the Fire and Water Committee. The Fi- nance Committee's report recommend- ed payment of the foliowing accounts : Joseph Wheatley, for men, work on streets, etc., $42.95; Davis & Rowland, nails, $2.45; W. Cooper & Co., station- ery, 76c; rent for Mrs Devine, $2; O. Cooper & Co., groceries, $5.47; R. ey- nolds, month's salary, $39; D. Cook, seed for cemetery, 51.63. Receipts, market scales, $7.90; rent of office, $5. The Electric Light Committee repot ted that the present contract could be con- tinued for one year at the same fig- ures as heretofore, 22c. per light per night, or the lights would be supplied on a four years' contract, at 20c. per light. It was decided to accept the four years' offer, on the understanding that the lights should run until 12 p.m. By this new contract a saving of about $70 a year will be effected. Mr Searle drew attention to the fact that the electric light on Rattenhury street west had been raised during his ab- sence from town, and he thought it only right and fair that where any changes were made, both representa- tives of the ward should be consulted. NOTES.—The town band gave an o en air concert on Surday night. Mrs Hector Juno?, oatf Hamiiton, is HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES.—Archi- tects Fowler & Fowler report that the steam system of heating is completed, and after several days trial the heat has been well-maintained; circulation is perfect and the rooms farthest away from the boiler are as well supplied with heat as those nearest it.

Any persons who .desire to look over the institution are requested to obtain tickets of admission from S. S. Cooper, in whose hands the building is.

BASE BALL CONCERT.—Thanksgiv- ing day is announced for Thursday No- vember 21st, and the base ball club are making arrangements to have a con- cert in the hall on that evening. The program will be made up entirely of lo- cal talent and many new and attractive features are to be introduced. The new drill corps promise two or three exhib- itions of military and fancy drill. Sev- eral special drills will be given by stu- dents of the Collegiate Institute and Public Schools. A base ball match is to be played neon the stage, and as many more new attractions will be given as the committee can secure. Make no arrangements to leave town on Thanksgiving Day , as this concert will be well worthy of your attendance. HE LACKED THE NERVE.—They are telling a story around town concern- ing a former nursery agent of London, well known here, Tree peddlers are supposed to have nerve enourh for all purposes, but it seems that in this par- ticular instance his nerve failed him. He lately decided to go into the patent medicine business, and procuring the necessary outfit he went to Zurich fair, expecting that he would "paralyze the natives. He had studied up a new speech for the occasion, and he thought he would rehearse it before the public ordeal carne. Going to his room he tried to say his piece. hut it was no go, and after several futile efforts he found that his nerve had deserted him, and sooner than appear to public ridicule, as he feared he would, he kept himself in hiding all day. visiting her mother here.

Mc- Faul, of Seaforth: An old man claim- ing to be an Italian, but unable to speak English, was around soliciting help on Saturday. and frightened a number of people by his gesticulations; when searched he had a considerable amount of small change on his person, showing that he was not very hard up.

WEDDING—One of those interesting events, which thongh very old-fashion- ed are still not uncommon, occurred last Tuesday evening, at the residence of Mrs. J. Shipley, Huron road, when Miss Mary Shipley, one of our popular aroung ladies, was united in marriage to Mr Thomas Smallacombe, of town. A large company of the friends of the family were present to do honor to the occasion. At half -past 6 o'clock the bride, becomingly attired ip cream cashmere, entered the parlor on the arm of her brother, Mr Geo. Shipley; Miss Mattie Shipley acted as brides- maid, and the groom was accompanied by Mr Robt Downs, as groomsman.— After the ceremony, which was per- formed by Rev; Mr Ford, according to the simple but impressive rites of the Methodist church, and the usual con- gratulations, the company sat down to a sumptuous supper.
