THE HOTEL CLARENOON.-This is the name of the remodeled, enlarged and newly conducted hotel in Clinton. Formerly the hotel Clarendon was known as the Grand Union. To -day the Grand Union is unknown as far as inner appearances are concerned. Mr. .1. C. Miller, a native of Clinton and an experienced gentleman, leased the Grand Union from the owner, Mrs. Tufts. Mt. Miller has turned the building inside out, so to speak. On entering the front door one is bewilder- ed. To the tight the glass in the din- ing room door displays to t he naked eye a large, cheerful, well lighted and any dialing room 40 by 20 feet facing the main thoroughfare ; in it are six modern tables capable of seating from 40 to 50 people. Off the dialing rooms is the kitchen, roomy and well-managed, where vivalves are prepared that would tickle the palates of Kings and Queens, the transient traveller and our native farmer. To the rear again commodious sample rooms will short ly he elected. The reading and sitting rooms have been remodeled and re - papered, and a commercial writing room added. The bar has also under- gone 0 changt.. A large and handsome mirror takes the place of the 01(1 one, and the fittings and casing of natural wood is the handiwork of contractor S. S. Cooper, Netter known as "Irish Sam." Upstairs the change is striking indeed. New furniture throughout, new paper, new kalsomining, new carpets --everything new almost except the outside walls. There is 0 home- like invitation, as it were, to make one comfortable. Mr. Jenkins, of London, is supplying the Clarendon with modern electric Lighting fixtures, also an electric bell system for the convenience of guests and the general public. A modern ad- dition to the extensive changes will he a water system of closets controlled by a force pump. It i.4 a pleasing feature to notice that the labor has been performed and the goods supplied by local workmen, artists, and business men, among them 13. Kaiser, Chas. Bowers, John Day- ment, Thos. Walker, D. Gardner, Hodgens Estate, Gilroy & Wiseman, It. Coats & Son, J. W. Chidley, Rance & Spalding, W. Cooper & Co., Harland Bros. and those we have previously mentioned. A splendid new bus has been put on in charge of 0. Hofflich, and the Hotel Clarendon is now wide open to the genet al public.

Cornyn, Sr., at Winghana on Monday. The funeral will take place to -day under Orange auspices.

DIFFICULT LOCOMOTION. -Last Wed- nesday night a load of Ancient Fores- ters drove to Seaforth and on the re- turn found a tree across the road near Stapleton.

Lucia, Steele & Bristol have 0 deservedly good reputation and the firm is one of the most trustworthy and responsible in the Dominion. THE GREAT STORM. -On Monday of last week a snow and wind storm set in which lasted almost without in- terruption until Monday of this week. Last. Friday the storm abated for a few hours. It proved one of the wort ex- perienced in this section for many years, although a much gr cater amount of snow has often fallen in the saute time. General traffic was not seriously obstructed until Saturday, when the afternoon mail fi•on1 Toronto could not get through and did not arrive until late Monday afternoon. Two engines and snow plow working toward Goderich on Sunday were derailed about five guiles from that town and 0 wrecking train had to he despatched to set matters right. The Western Division did not have any serious delay. The country roads a11(1 -side lines are all blocked, but will be 'broken in 0 few (lays. COUNTY PRINTING. -The corporation of the County of Huron has every year several hundred dollars worth of, print- ing. The work has for a good many years been awarded by tender and the lowest figures secure the work. The quality of material and printing the County Council year after year accepts is 0 disgrace and blot upon the intelli- gence of our representatives, and then the work is even taw good for the price paid. The County of Huron is half a century behind the age in the matter of its corporation printing. It is high time this impel, tent body and wealthy corporation should take a lesson from adjoining counties and secure a reasonably good class of printing at a reasonably fair price. The County Connclllers, if we are to ,judge by the print and quality of printing they control, should not tax the ratepayers mune than 25 cents a day for their services ; at present they receive $3 a:day. Tit,.0,111 purism) is a fair one. CANADIAN FORESTFI1H REUNION.-- - Court Maple Leaf Ne. 16, C. O. F'., held a grand reunion last Thursday evening.
