Town Topics.
MILITARY BALL.—The officers of the
:33rd Battalion have named Friday,
April 10th, as the date of the annual
military ball, to(held in Clinton this
year. Arrap�r, idents are now under
way tftd-'the local officers will if
possible eclipse all previous efforts.
LACRO sE MEETING.—Citizens gen-
erally will be pleased to learn that the
national fiance will not be a sport of
the past in
Clinton,
t duringthe coining
seasn. There will be a meeting fo
organization at the Hotel Clarendon
this (Wednesday) evening. All la-
crosse players and lovers of the natiou-
al garne are invited.
NOT TIM APPLE KING.—Outside of
town Mr. D. Cantelon, the apple king,
has several times been complitnented
by hard-shell grits on his "flop over" to
the French Roman Catholic Laurier
party. D. C. is neither a "D. .T.," "J.
P.," nor yet a "North Wester," and is
still prepared, he says, to stand up for
his birthright and our Canadian
country. There's no uncertain sound
about -the apple king on trade matters
and he is always ready to give proof
for the faith that's in him. Our hard
shell friends may rest easy on that
score.
YOUNG LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. --Some
forty liberals gathered in the council
chamber last Friday evening to organ-
ize a Young Liberal Association, the
object being mutual improvement.
The following officers were elected :—
Hon. Pres., Reeve McMurchie ; Pres.,
Mayor Holmes ; 1st vice, W. N. Man-
ning/ ; 2nd vice, Dr. Shaw ; 3rd vice,
Jetties Scott ; Cor. Secy., W. Brydone;
Rec. Secy., F. R. Hodgens; Treasurer,
John Wiseman ; Executive Corn., Wm.
Coats, Walter Manning, E. A. Coombs,
•D. F. Macpherson, Frank Hall,. L.
Kennedy.
THE PROPOSED TOWN CLOCK.—As
mentioned in last weeks NEws-RE-
CORD, Mr. Hess of Zurich was here
inspecting the town hall tower. He
decided that the tower was strong
enough, but that it would require to be
raised some ten feet to give the four
dials sufficient elevation. The bell
would remain in its present position.
The clock and other expense would
come to between $400 and $500 pro-
bably, with a five-year guarantee.
We hope the Council may see their
way clear, in the best interests of the
town, to purchase a new clock.
ST. PATRICK'S CONCERT.—There was
a large audience present at the St.
Patrick's concert in the town hall last
Tuesday evening. The affair was
under the auspices of St. Joseph's
Church. Mayor Holmes presided and
perforated the duties of chairman in a
very becoming and satisfactory man-
ner:lThe first part of the program-rine
was a highly interesting Irish min-
strel performance, faithfully presented
by Messrs. McAvoy, Payne, Tighe,
Fred. Nevin, ' Henry Nevin, Fred.
Shannon and Frank Shannon. The
interlocutor and end men in their local
hits created laughter and general
merriment; and the performance of
the minstrels, full of Irish song, wit
and humor,was well received. Mis.
Julian Wall lave a solo, "Bob -o -Link,"
also "Waiting," in her well train-
ed voice and responded to a
well -merited encore in "I kissed
her in the clover." Miss Tillie
Austin danced the Highland Fling and
Shian Truise in expert style. Miss Mc-
Intosh sang "The girl I left behind" in
excellent voice, while Miss Flossie Mc-
Donald rendered "I'm fund of beauty"
and in response to an encore gave
"Bring back n,y Kittle to me." In the
second part the Cape Colony minstrels
in costume were announced and repre-
sented descendants of Irishmen exiled
during the penal laws. Miss Flossie!
McDonald and Mrs. Wall gave a song
and solo respectively, and Miss Tillie
and Johnnie Austin performed the
sword dance with alacrity. Mrs.
Blackstone, Miss Tronch and Miss
Austin were the efficient accompanists
on the occasion. The rendering of the
programme took about two hours and
all seemed well pleased with each and
every number. 'The audience was the
largest which has yet appeared at a
St. Patrick's concert in Clinton.

ceased was a daughter of Mr. Samuel
Snaith, of Seaforth, and was only 32
years of age. About three years ago
deceased was attacked • with consump-
tion, arnd, although the best medical

husband and two small children who
have the sympathy of the cot nnuulity.
What might have been a serious
accident, happened on the C. P. R,
track near Wingharn on Wednesday
afternoon last. The train coming from
Teeswater, due at Wingharn at 1
o'clock, struck a load of saw logs at the
13. line crossing. The crossing was
lane and in trying to cross it. thehorseg
got stuck. The engine was pretty
badly smashed up and two freight cars
loaded with lumber were derailed.
The auxilary train and a gang of men
from Orangeville arrived on the scene
about 7 o'clock and it took from that
time until about, 10.30 before the track
was clear. The damage to the cars and
engine would be in the neighborhood
of $300. No one was hurt.

hours of difficult work he succeeded in
delivering her of a hoar pig. It was as
large as an ordinary grown pig, and
weighed nearly one hundred pounds.
Tho cow has completely recovered, hit
the pig is dead. The monstrosity was
perfectly developed even to the hair
and bristles, and must have been alive
eight or ten hours previous to birth.
It unfortunately had to be mutilated in
delivery, otherwise it world have heen
preserved and sent to the Veterinary
College, Toronto, as a curiosity.
Seaforth?
PASSED AWAY.— We sincerely regret
to have to announce the death of
Martha Smith, beloved wife of Mr.
Charles Little, of the eighth con-
cession of McKillop, which took
place on Monday, March 18th. It
appears that the deceased contracted a
cold some two years ago which ended
in that dread disease consumption:
She had been ailing ever since and
bore her sickness without a murmur.
Mrs. Little was the eldest daughter of
Mr. Samuel Smith, one time of Mc-
Killop, but now of Seaforth. She was
a staunch member of the Disciple
Church and we believe lived up to that
fatith. She was married some 8 or 10
years and leaves behind to mourn their
loss a husband and two small boys.
She was highly esteemed by all who
knew her, Mr. Little has the sym-
pathy of the entire ;ornmunity in this
their sad bereavement. Mrs. Little
was 32 years of age. The remains were
placed in the Maitland cemetery.
RUNAWAY.—The people of Sea -
forth witnessed rather a lively
runaway on Saturday last. The
horse belonged to Thomas Daley,
grocer, and was left standing
attached to the delivery wagon at the
hack of the store. It got tired stand-
ing and made a bee line for home and
passed down the alley way at the back
at a terrible speed and on turning out
to a side street, the turn being short
and rapid, the wagon horse and all were
turned upside don, smashing one hind
wheel into slivers and also the dash,
and scattered the boxes and baskets all
along the way. The horse came off
with a few slight scratches. No other
damage was done.
THE 12TH.—The brethren of L. O. L.

One of our villagers, who had been
ailing for some time, used some of the
Kickapoo medicine and succeeded in
removing—not a tapeworm—but a
number of large words, some of which
must have been lying there a long time
as they were -very old, since which
time he appears better. Those large
words, along with considerable non-
sense, appeared iu the Goderich Grit
sheet in a paragraph entitled "Sustain-
ed." It would have been more honest
if he had entitled it "Reversed." He
appears to put the J. P.'s here on a parr
with Justice Ferguson. We wish to
impress upon his mind that the J. P.'s
were not supposed to be trying the
case. Their duty was to find if there
was sufficient evidence to commit the
prisoner for trial. The J. P.'s said
there was not. Thirteen intelligent
amen on the grand jury in Goderich
said there was. In the future, Mr.

their true light and do not strive to
make a wrong impression on the
public. There are times the truth does
