FISH NETS CONFISCATED.—Fishery Inspector Briggs, of Paisley, passed through Clinton to Bayfield lastThurs- day, where a number of illegal nets were seized and burned. The five boats seized have been released by the Gov- ernment. DUMB.—It is amusing to notice how our esteemed town cotem., when cor- nered, crawls into a hole and pulls the hole in after him. Although in the witness lox with its own knowledge and consent, our totem. is as dumb as the dead and in its silence refuses to testify. There is nothing unusual in this. The Honored Dead. The following letter, resolutions and verses are from distant California and refer to the death of a model young gentleman who formerly resided in Goderich township :— , Ontario, Cal., Feb. 3rd, 1895. MRS. LAITHWAITE, Clinton, Ont. MY DEAR MADAM,—At the business meeting of the Epworth League of this place these resolutions, which I en- close, were adopted. Also, as is not stated in the article, we decided to drape our charter in mourning for thirty days in memory of your son. Assuring you of the hearty sym- pathy of the League, I am, yours truly, BESSIE SNODGRASS, Secretary. Whereas it hath pleased Our Heaven- ly Father to remove from our midst our brother and fellow worker, James W. Laithwaite, who in his short resi- deuce among us had yet been one of us in the faith and in service for the Master, we, the members of the Ep- worth League of Ontario, California, take this means of expressing our heartfelt sorrow . and sympathy with his bereaved mother and friends. During his stay with us Brother Laithwaite led a true, Godly life, that most effectual witness of the saving power of faith, and when the end was even drawing near he testified on the sick bed to the love of God in his heart. It must indeed be a severe blow to the mother heart that the son whom she had reared from infancy should be thus snatched away at the time when the faculties of usefulness were begin- ning to yield the ripe fruition of the years of seed time of the mother's training, and yet by faith in the Father all merciful we know that He doeth all things well, and the Judge of all the earth must do right. This present. light affliction prouliseth us a more exceeding weight of glory. In the better land, prepared for God's elect, where parting loved ones part no more we shall meet, all united around the Great NVhite Throne, "And with the Morn those angel faces smile, which we have known long since, and lost awhile." "Asleep in Jesus: blessed sleep, From which none eve' wakee to weep 1 A calm and undisturbed'epose, Unbroken by the list of Iota. "Asleep in Jesus! Oh how sweet To be for such a slumber meet! With holy confidence to sing That Death hath loot ite vonomed eting. "Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, W hoar waking ie supremely blest I No fear, no woe, shall dine that hour That manifests the Saviour's power." THE NEW RACE COURSE. -This is the term applied to Victoria street by several residents, who complain bitter - 1y of fast driving. It is asserted that the thoroughfare is not safe for pedes- trians and trouble is brewing. The famous twenty -mile -an -hour -evidence, followed by fine, may result if the speed is not considerably reduced. ,WRONG AGAIN.—It is unfortunate, to say the least, that the New Era is not a little more particular when re- ferringto the ladies of St. Paul's Church. Our totem says:—"Rev. J. A. Fairlie and wife were the recipients of several articles of silverware from the mem- hers of the Women's Auxiliary of St. Paul's church one evening recently." The statement is not true. The Auxili- ary is a Missionary Society and funds cannot lawfully be converted twiny such purpose as the New Era says they have been. And the insinuation that the members of the Auxiliary have mis- appropriated the funds is misleading and unfair ; it is worse, it is untrue. Thefundswere taken from the "Talent" of the Ladies' Aid, a fund that may be devoted to whatever the members may determine. In justice to the Auxiliary our cotem. should set the matter right. Bayfield. The twin screws supposed to be lost off the Big Gun turned up the other day. The ice fishing is now on. Not large hauls. By time the lental season conies on we may expect more as providence knows the proper food to supply. The social at Mr. Geo. Erwin's ou Thursday evening was a great success. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The attendance was very large. A most distinguished honor was paid our worthy reeve quite unexpected at the 'meeting of the L. L. L.'s in Chicago on a late date. The conclave elected hire as their C. F. Your correspond- ent is expected soon to graduate from the society, and in time to gain some of the plums going. So will it be. A large and influential syndicate propose the purchase of the Jewitt property, errect a large summer resort hotel. The gentlemen that purchased the interest in the horse from Kentucky with some Clinton parties are very well satisfied with their investment. It is thought that it will make a grand record. While the sleighing is so good the Clinton Band is expected to come here and give a selection ot their music some evening. Every one will enjoy it if they do so. The next school examinations for the County of Huron are to he held, we understand, here. The Council has promised through the reeve to provide all the requirements. Londesboro. Mr. Henry Cuming, of Manitoba, is visiting at the horse of his father, 13th con., Hullett. Eleven of the members of the I. O. G. T. Lodge attended the district meeting in Blyth on Friday last. J. T. O'Brien, tailor, has just got in a stock of tweeds and suitings which for excellence will compare favorably with any to he found in large towns and cities. Call and see him. The I. O. G. T. Lodge here is steadily increasing in - membership.- There were three initiations at the regular meeting last week. Mr. S. Dawson, the district organizer and temperance lecturer, will be here shortly and will give a lecture in the temperance hall. Every friend of the temperance cause, come and hear him ; he is a good speaker and the cause is a good one. Be sure and herr him.

R. will he present and They have also se - give an address. cured the services of the Sage family, of Walton, who will perforin on the musical glasses. No pains are being spared to snake this a grand success. Admission to supper and entertain- ment 25c., reserved seats 10c. extra. County Currency Miss Annie Chambers, of Winthrop, is visiting her sister, Miss Atelia Cham- bers, at John Mooney's, Morris.

Errington of the 2nd line of Morris, has moved from the faun he had rented from Mr. Jewitt to John Snell's farm on the boundary of Turn - berry. Mr. Andrew Patrick, of Hihhert township, has purchased fifty acres on the sixth concession of Tuckersmith from Mr. William McNaughton for the sum of $2,500. Mr. Patrick has got a good farm. Tidings have arrived from Butte, Montana, of the death of Mr. Miles McDonald, a well known resident of the 9th concession of Tuckersmith, 15 years ago. Ile was killed in the famous powder explosion there. it is our sad duty to record the death of Andrew McKenzie of Turnberry who died on Friday week, aged 25 years. The deceased was a victim to lung trouble and had been unwell for some months before death. FORESTERS REUNION.—CourtClinton No. 470, I. O. F., held their annual reunion—an oyster supper and enter- tainment—in the council chamber last Thursday evening. There was a nice turnout and the supper, oysters and other good things, was in keeping with the good reputation of 470. The enter- tainment was presided over by Mr. Geo. Swallow, who makes an excellent chairman, and the proceedings opened with the impressive opening ode of the Order and prayer by Grand Chaplain Acheson. Chairman Swallow gave a highly interesting resume of thestand- ing of the Order, showing among other good points that there was a surplus of over $1,000,000 in the treasury. Rev. Mr. Acheson, G. C., of Kippen, deliver- ed an excellent address, dwelling specially on the brotherhood of man and the influence of society for good. Mayor Holmes took up the rev. gentle- man's text and was at home on the subject. A. M. Todd followed briefly. Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Bruce, Miss Wash- ington, Miss Mabel Doherty, Mr. Bruce, Mr. A. J. Holloway and Mr. lihunk took part in a delightful pro- gramme of quartettes, recitations, in- strumentals, solos and song. The whole affair redounds to the credit of the members of the I. O. F. and the only regret expressed was that such reunions do not occur more frequently. Blumnerhill . Mr. Beni. Grainger, of Carlow, visited Fria our vivillage on y last. The celebrated dialogue "Pumpkin Ridge" was given by Mr. Harry Thoruplion and others of the 16th con., Goderich township, at an open lodge meeting of the Royal Tempters of Temperance at Varna on Wednesday evening the 13th inst. Jonathan intro- duced some local hits which brought down the house. The second police- man also introduced some new and startling features which did not appear on previous occasions. The acting by all the characters was exceedingly well done and merited the hearty ap- plause which it received from the large audience present. I. O. G. T's. here held an open lodge meeting on Thursday evening, 14th inst., but owing to the bad roads the at teudance was not as large as it other- wise would have been. The program- me tea) was not as complete as was expected owing to the same cause, but consisted of mouth organ and violin solos, speeches and readings which were well received. The event of the evening was a temperance address by Bro. Edward Dawson, of Kincardine, who spoke for over an hour on this important subject and was listened to with wrapt attention throughout. Several of those present signified their intention to join our lodge and there is a prospect of a temperance revival in our vicinity. We hope to see the lodge boom in the near future. Mrs. George Glasgow, who had been visiting friends here for some time, re- turned to her horse in Dakota last week. We wish the lady a safe and pleasant trip. A sleighing party from here spent last Thursday evening very pleasantly with a friend in Stanley. On Friday week a cow belonging to Mr. James Baird, of the boundary west of Lucknow, celebrated the big storni by giving birth to three well- developed and large sized calves. One of the calves was dead at birth and a second only lived a few days, but the third one is still alive and doing well. At the February meeting of the Official Board of the Fordwich Metho- dist Circuit a cordial and unanimous invitation was extended to Rev. T. Wesley Cosens, of Walton to become their pastor at the close of the present conference year. Mr. Cosenn has accepted, subject to the approval of the Stationing Committee. As the sectionmcn were going over their beat on the G. T. 11.. last Satur- day week about three miles west of Lucan they carne across the lifeless body of a man lying alongside the track. Upon enquiry being made it was found that the t.nfortunate roan was Wm. McKenzie, of Ailsa Craig, who with his wife had lett there Friday morning to go to London. Mc- Kenzie returned alone in the evening to Lucan crossing, and there being no train west proceeded to walk along the track to Ailsa Craig, ftdistaanee of four miles, in face of the fearful blizzard. It is supposed he was struck by a passing freight train as the remains were found a few rode from the crossing. Varna. On Wednesday evening a party of young folks from the 16th con. of Goderich township drove over to our village and while here were entertain- ed at the house of Mr. L. Beatty.

Murphy and sister, R. and H. Thompson and sister and Mr. Jno. Kitty, of Clinton. It brought down the house. The song by Mr. Lowery was well received. We will welcome there back again on simi- lar occasions. Dungannon. The adjourned S.. S. Convention which was held on Wednesday last was a decided success, the church being full at both afternoon and evening BeSBioes.

Augustine, of the 4th con. of Ashfield, on the 12th post., in the marriage of his eldest daughter Margaret Adella, to Mr. H. Walker, of St. Marys. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Fair- burn. Mrs. B. Buchanan leaves to -day for her home in Manitoba. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Girvin enter- tained a party of friends right royally on Friday evening last. The scribe to the Goderich Grit sheet should think twice before reporting evil of his neighbors. It would not then be necessary to take up so much space in that paper taking back what was previously given as news, or rath- er making two items of news out of nothing. The skating rink is being well pat- ronized. It affords healthy exercise for our young people. West Wawanosh. Maurice Smeltzer has left Blooming- ton, where he tenanted the property of W.

Rose is on the sick list, his complaint being lung trouble. We hope soon to hear of his recovery. Mrs. J. Medd, of Dungannon, a form- er resident of this place, has been seriously sick with the quinsy. The storm of the last two weeks is remarkable for unusual severity, also for the immense amount of snow which has fallen to incredible depth, render- ing the roads almost impassible to travellers. The fanners contemplate plowing to facilitate better transit. 6lclviilop- The nice winter weather of last week following closely on such extreme cold has put people In good spirits once more. The country ministers have had a soft snap this last month. Owing to the snow blockades and intense cold there was no service. which was the wisest course to pursue. Rev. T. W. Cosens, of Walton cir- cuit, has received a call from Ford- wich, so we are informed. John Barrows, one of the old timers on the Leadbury line, is ill at present.

Bell, jr.,has been away visit- ing relatives in Hibbert. A select party of young people had an enjoyable time at the home of Mr. Jones, the Leadbury hotel keeper, one evening recently. Mr. J. C. Kenny has received a con- signment of goods from Toronto. There may he a little gain in this, but it is hardly treating the horse dealers right. The average Grit politician is a queer specimen. During the many years the Conservative administration had a sur- plus these fellows shouted we are/being robbed. Now they tell us there is go- ing to he a deficit and that the country is going to the dogs. The Grits should recollect that their party when in power, gave us dear tea, dear sugar, and likewise dear coal oil and coffee, and a deficit into the bargain. A. M. TODD.
