Mr. Wood, of Wingham, preached two able and instructive sermons in Trinity church on Sunday last. He is one of the corning men of the Diocese, and Wingham congregation is to be con- gratulated on having so eloquent and earnest a rector." Mr. Fraser, of Teeswater, spelt a few days last week in Clinton and neighbornood among old-time friends. For about 20 years Mr. Fraser lived near Brucefield and knew nearly every one in Tuckersnrith. He has been absent about 20 years and naturally finds many changes. Mr. T. M. Johnston, who has recent- ly returned from Mauitoba, called on THE NEWS -RECORD the other clay. He has been visiting relatives in Goderich and this section and left this week for Chatham, where he will accept a situation in the store of his brother. Mr. Johnston will read this journal during 1895. The other day a gentleman called on THE NEWS -RECORD to ascertain the law on a certain point governing the town, but as there was no data at hand we could not give the desired in- formation and referred the party to the Mayor and Clerk. Would it not be wise for the Council to issue Modern and up-to-date by-laws. Many Conservatives on the Domin- ion Voters' List for the town of Clinton, appealed against by the Reformers, • have at least as good and probably better votes than those who are en- deavoring to disfranchise them. Con- servatives, }tee to it that you will have a say as to how this Canadian country shall be governed. The oldest apple -tree in 'Waterloo county was planted about the year 1800 nn the Sherk homestead opposite Doon, 00 the Grand River. It is still bearing fruit and is the only one re- maining of the orchard. The thick- ness of the trenk at the base ie about the ee feet and at five feet from the ground is two and a half feet. How about some of the big and old apple - trees in Goderich township?

Would those subscribers in Manitoba and the States who are in arrears for THE NEB'S-RECORD please remit at ld- once. Many are ofriends of the former and present publishers, and we don't like to erase their names from our books, but this will have to be done if we don't hear from them at once, as it is unreasonable to expect us to send the paper for years without receiving the slightest remuneration. The Town of Clinton, many remark, is big and old enough to have a new set of by-laws of the up-to-date variety. At present the by-laws of the town are not ineelligible. If the Town Council are alive to the general welfare of our people they will pay the Town Clerk a reasonable sum to prepare up-to-date by-laws. As matters stand nobody seems to know the law and a copy of the ancient document is not a means of instruction. By all means prepare new by-laws in order that tax -payers inay know by way of law what governs the progressive town of Clinton. Mr. Duncan McFarlane has Reid his farm in Tuckersmith to Mr. George.

It is with feelings of pride that we recognize in Sir Mackenzie Bowell the or iginator of the recent great colonial conference, an undertaking destined to further assist in building tip ani maintaining this grand old British Empire, and we are further gratified to notice that all these distinguished services to his cowl- tryhave been recognized by Her Majesty the Queen in icreating the new Premier a Knight of the Order of $t. Michael and St. George." CHIEF J O'FITICE MEREHITII AND THE ONTARIO PR EMI ER. Moved by Mr. John Wilford, of Blyth, seconded by Mr., Joseph Gold- thorpe, of Colborne, and resolved "That we heartily appreciate the honor conferred on our late leader in the provincial Legislature, and we take mach pleasure in assuring Chief Justic . Meredith that we shall always remer bet with kindness and pride his man] eelf-devotion and untiring energy, laplayed for many years in the interest of his country, and wish for him a long, happy and useful life in the cause of justice in his native country; and we would also desire to assure Mr. Marter, his successor as leader of the Liberal -Conservative party in the Ontario Legislature, that we heartily endorse his vigorous action in the cause of economical government for the province of klintario."

The mem- bers had subscribed to their declara- tion of office as follows :—Mayor Holmes, Reeve 4cMurchie, Deputy - Reeve Kennedy, and Councillors Searle, Bi -ties, Cooper, Overbury, Mc- Murray, MeKenzie, Gilroy and Tay- ploriessenTt. he Reeve was too ill to be pres- THE STRIKING comae -rem The only business at the. morning meeting was the appointing of a Strik- ing Committee of five by ballot. On the first vete the Mayor received 9, the •Deputy -Reeve 8, McMurray 7, and a second ballot was called to elect the other two. Taylor, McKenzie and Overbury received four votes each and another ballot had to he called for.

THE EVENING SESSION. The Council assembled at 7.30, all the members being present except Reeve McMurchie, THE MAYOR'S MESSAGE. The Mayor, in opening the meeting, stated that as the members had entered upon a new year of responsibility, he had no doubt they would all endeavor to prove faithful to the confidence placed in them by the electors. He regretted exceedingly that for the present, at any rate, the Council would be deprived of the benefit of the Reeve's counsel and experience, assist- anee of much value in the past which would be greatly missed. There were several matters that had been attend- ed to at the nomination meeting which would call for action this year, but tisey were not in the nature of "burn- ing questions" and he had no doubt but that they would be considered and settled with a view to efficient service and wise and economic expenditure. He believed that, without any ex= ception, we had the best town in the county of Huron, and it was the duty of eachinember to advance its interests in every legitimate way. He assumed that the members of the Council were elected, not to serve their personal ends or desires, not to further their own particular intetests, but to look after the welfare of the town, and if they succeeded in doing this, even only to a small degree, they had the 'satisfaction of accomplishing soine good. He hop- ed that however much the members might differ in details, however heated they might get in debate, that the pro- ceedings of Council would be character- ized by harmony and good will, and that, collectively and individually, each member would have but One common object—the good of the town. COMMUNICATIONS were received from Mr. H. Foster, secretary of the Collegiate Institute Board, stating that the term . of Mr. W. Jackson as trustee would expire this month.

The Mayor intimated that about $700 taxes were yet unpaid. On motion of Searle and the Deputy -Reeve the clos- ing of the Roll was further extended to February 6th. NEW BUSINESS. Councillor Searle had something to say on a favorite and popular sub- ject. He would ,like to have our streets and shade trees looked after, and gave notice that at the next Council uteeting he would move to have all dead trees, all willow and thorn trees on the streets removed. He contended that all shade trees should be at least twenty feet apart. The Mayor replied that Mr. Searle was on this committee and that he would he in a position to look after this particular work. A LITTLE SET-TO. Councillor Searle objected, as in years gone by, he said, to members sitting at the Board without proper qualification. He hoped none not, qualified had accepted office and that there would be no grounds for objec- tion this year. However, he did not think that it was right for' any Come. cillor to occupy the position of School Trustee also. Counctllor Bruce was a. member of both and he (Searle) would have criticised or objected to Councillor Overbury if he (Searle) had been in the Council last year. The Mayor explained that he had allowed Councillor Searle to speak be- cause he did not want him to think that he was "sitting" on him. How- ever, he would state that Coun. Searle was decidedly out of order. Councillor Bruce was granted per- mission to reply to Councillor Searle. He said that he was in the hands of the electors and acted within the law in accepting the two positione. Searle himself had advertised in THE NEWS -RECORD that he was a candidate for Trustee and Councillor. He (Mr. Bruce) had as sound and as good quali- fication as any member at the Board. Mr. Searle said his advertisement was a mistake and the discussion ter- minated. Th9. Council then adjourned. County Currency. Rev. T. W. Cosens, of Walton, lost a valuable cow recently.
