SAD NEWS.—Last week Mr.W.Murphy
received word that his nephew in buf-
falo, aged 17, had his foot crushed by a
moving street car and the leg had to
be amputated at the knee. At last ex-
counts
scounts the young man was very low,
with chances for recovery.
FRozEN.—Tuesday's frost was hard
to stand and frost kites are numerous.
W. Foster, in walking from Weir's
bush to town, had his ears, nose, and
fingers and thumb of right hand so
badly frozen that he has since been
laid off work.
A TRIBUTE TO WINTER.—The fol-
lowing tribute to winter is of unknown
origin:—"It snows and it blows and
it stings your nose—makes all
creation shiver ; it bites your toes,
increases your woes and freezes up the
river, The frost nips all, both great
and small ; the dismal, dreary winter,
freezes types, it bursts the pipes, and
vexes sore the printer. So let her roll
—we mean the coal—it takes the
cash in winter ; so please be kind and
make up your mind to settle with the
printer.—Ex.
A CLOSE CALL.—The residence of
Mr. J. P. Tisdall had a narrow escape
from fire last Friday morning. About
10 o'clock the previous evening the
inmates smelled smoke and the furnace
was examined without detecting any
cause for alarm. In the morning the
servant girl awakened 9 r. Tisdall by
the announcement that aehe place was
goif on fire. It seems that the tile
in and around the coal grate
on the upper floor had conveyed
fire to the joist under the floor•
ing and it had been smouldering all
night. It was noticed justintime topre-
vent a serious fire. 1 he damage was
slight. .
THE TOWN HALL ESCAPES DISAS-
TER.—The annual meeting of the Pat-
ron of Huron was held in the Council
Chamber, town hall, on Tuesday of
last week. The meeting is said to have
been a very warns one, hue probably
no warmer than the fire in the furnace.
Be that as it may, however, snluke
was noticed ,,using from the hot air
chamber leading from the furnace and
the floor was discovered to be on lire.
Through the alertness of caretaker
Welsh the fiery fiend was extinguished
with little or no damage and the Pat-
rons tvere in consequence allowed to
figt out numerous burning questions.
A :Ile Mil AGE i)REAM.--Mr. A. T.
Cooper, of the bgok store, Was in Kin-
cardine on business when Friday's
storm set tn. He was, of course. com-
pelled to remain for several daye and
his thoughts are said to have turned 1n
the matrimonial problem. At 'a11
events the wires ticked the result of a
supposed dream A. T. had, said to be
induced by the exceedingly cold wea-
ther in the fresh -water sea town ;and
other favorable causes. In dreamland
Monday was set for settlement day,
and Tnesd-t.y the happy couple were to
get clown to home -life in Clinton. Me.
Cooper has returned—but alas, alone.
These (dreams are cline ppelnting, sure,
Gut we are not, in the ,ea.et perplexed.
When A. T. doubles up there will be
no dream connected with the affair.
lie has been too long on the road to not
do the job on modern principles,
New BANKING Flaw. --The private
bank at Blyth has passed into new
hands. Messrs. Jatn s i11c'Morrhie, son
of the esteemed reeve of Clinton, and
H. T. Rance, so long in Ferran & Tis -
dell's hank here, took possession on
Monday. The people of Blyth and
neighborhood will find in these two
worthy citizens all the sterling quali-
ties which go to make capable and re-
liable business men with quite suffici-
ent capital to conduct a successful
hank. For a considerable Lime Mr.
McMurchie has conducted his father's
vntensive money business at his Clin-
ton office. Although not ILS well
known, probably, as the reliable fan-
ning, mill manufacturer, we may say
he is a "chip off the old 'deck." Mr.
Rance has for about twelve years con-
ducted the business of Ferran &
dell's bank hank in Clinton. There is not n
more capn.hle or trustworthy business
Hurn to be felted. THE News -Remelt
regrets the remove] of two so worthy
citizens. We predict. that. Licit cut Per

MAeoNIC.—Clinton Lodge No. 84, A.
F. and A. M., will meet in their hall

THE DICK CONCERT'CUMPANY failed
to connect on Tuesday evening A
very slim audience would likely have
greeted them.
TAXES.—In Hamilton all unpaid
taxes will have added 25 per cent.
after the 16th of this month. There
is a pointer here of interest to local
taxpayers.
HARLAND BROS. have secured the
contract for the plumbing work tor the
Hotel Clarendon. The same firm have
put in attractive lettered glass in
the front door of the same building.
WOOD.—Deputy Reeve Kennedy and
Councillor McMurray have called for
tendcr•s for 30 cords of 48 -inch green
hardwood, maple and beech, to be
delivered on the Market Square before
111e 1st of April.
LOST THEIR WAY—Two.of the Messrs
Kemp were chopping wood on the
Hitchcock farm near Stapleton on Fri-
day when the snow storm set in.
They were lost for several hours, hitt
finally found the road without serious
results.
S. A. OYSTER SUPPER.—Last Wed-
nesday evening the members and
friends of the Salvation Arany had an
excellent time at the Barracks

in. and at 8 o'clock a very profitable
Hosanna meeting was held.

The town band has been secured. Ad-
mission 25 cents, all pupils of the Col-
legiate Institute and Public school 10
cents. Proceeds for the poor of Clin-
ton.
TIMELY ADVICE.—When the New
Era quotes auything from THE NEWS -
RECORD or its correspondents, even
respecting the death of an honored
citizen, our totem. is sure to garble
facts. Our advice would he to state
positive facts. Itt correspondence the
manager or owner of a newspaper may
he misled, but that is no reason why
any editor should rush in "where
angels fear to tread" and act sponsor
for the "father of lies." "Hoss talk"
may be all right in its place, but our
0otem. cannot be allowed to play any
of its "hoss bizness" on THE NEWS -
RECORD.
MEAN Doo.—The other day Mr.
J. T. Harland bought a nice haul at
Cooper's Cash Grocery and cut it in
two in his cellar. Exit was Blade to
the rear where Mr. Harland shoveled
snow until he had worked up an un-
usually good appetite. On returning to
the cellar the smaller and most bony
portion of the haat could only be
found. The door was promptly barred
and with a club the cella' was search-
ed for the dog-theif without reward.
The animal and haps had 41.4 ce clis-
appeared. One way to get evils will
be to shout, "toad dog" the next time
the thief appears on the public streets
%vhen the chief is on hand with his
shooting iron.

LA W AND THE SPIRIT 07•'FAIRNI'.SS.—
The New Era, in referring to the
voters' list, court here .and the points of
objection raised by Mr. Hays as to the
Reform appeals not being in the hands
of the RevisingOfficer on the 20th as
prescribed by aw, is not Consistent.
Our Cntelll. says "evident fairness And
impartiality was shown by the Judge"
in the appeals disposed of, and adds : -
"His judgment on the point above
noted is awaited with some interest, as
it might undo all that was done (by
t he Reformer's) at this; court, but it is
believed that his spirit of fairness will
prevail, and the objection be over-
ruled." According to such logic the
law nn the point should not he seriously
considered and the ,Judge would he
fair only in over -ruling the objec'ticn.
\\-hat Itis Honor's verdict will he we
do not know, bet, had the Conservative
nppel(Is been delivered in the same
manner and on the same date we could
not reasonably expert other than be
laughed out, of court.. There is nothing
fo show that the Grit appeals were in
Goderieh on the 10th and the .Judge
did not, receive them until the after-
noon of the 2lst.. if thi. is within the
meaning of the law well and good, if
not Ills Honor will in fairness throw
therm out.

WHAT is it that
you as square
men most firmly
demand? Is it
not satisfaction ?
in whatever you
purchase.
TO
SQUARE
MEN
IN A
SQUARE
WAY, 140.
THAT is it satisfaction at
reasonable prices rather than
cheap John Goods and prices
and disgust. The great regu-
lator of trade is this mighty
trade producer known as
satisfaction.
ICAN a merchant give his
patrons satisfaction by
advertising low prices
and carrying cheap goods.
No ! decidedly No !
THE firm name
Jackson Bros. is
linked with the
reputation of
handling food
material as firm-
ly as ever rock is
joined to rock.
FOR ourselves
we have to con-
fess that it is
much better to
have 8.4350 yearly
customer satis-
fied than a $100
purchaser dis-
satisfied.
TI-IEREFORE we have
not and will not carry
cheap goods that is in
the sense of being trashy
BEING as square
elan yourself,
you will deal
where you re-
ceive value for

The meaning of the word
We've just found out that it is (derived from the Latin word
,Jc/)rrru—to purity by sacrifice.
That applies so aptly to our stock,ancd intentions that we can't
help mentioning it.
Just as our stock -taking sale ends, and as new goods are corn-
ing almost every day, we propose to clear out the
odds and ends remaining of our winter stock, even
if we have to make great sacrifice to do it.
Among a lot of new goods received this week is a line of
all silk Ribbons that are very much cheaper than
anything we have evCr 5110W11. Remember they are
pure silk, and we have nearly all colors.
They are in our Rattenbnry St. window. Here are the widths
and prices :
