PATRONS. --The annual meeting of
the county Patrons association will be
held in the town hall, Clinton, on
Tuesday next, Feb. 4th. All Patrons
are welcome, but of course only dele-
gates will be allowed to vote.
Fr is N. G.—We notice that several
of our exchanges are advertising the
"Royal Scalp Good," Windsor. We
hoe they will l e more fortunate in
getting;La{d . for their work than we
were. • To three dunning letters we
received no reply. But we • are not
clone with the `Prof." yet.—Mitchell
Advocate. [The NEw ERA is also
among the victims, and what makes
the matter more aggravating, ie the
fact, so it is stated, that the advertis-
ingg_was put out by a former publisher
of Huron county.]
A ORANGE.—Mr A. J. Holloway has
decided to go into business for himself,
and will open out a clothing store in
the premises formerly occupied by Mr
1. Jackson. He has had considerable
experience, is well and favorably known
here, and will make aush for a
share of the trade. Mr Hp J. Morgan
will succeed him as manager of the
ordered clothing branch of the Dry
cGoode Palace. Mr Morgan comes
from one of the best houses in Guelph,
and will doubtless sustain the repute -
,tion the Palace has already built up.
BUILDING MATTERS.—Tile business
hitherto conducted by Mr S. S. Cooper
ie now being managed under the flrm
-name of Cooper Bros., Mr Alex. Coop-
�er"having been admitted as a partner.
The new firm has the following con-
tractson hand for completion this
season: -.-Reeve Burns' new house at
Bayfield: new brick house for John F.
'Dane, Hallett; frame house for George
Watts, Mullett; .addition and over-
hauling the . hoagie of C. F. Dale, Mul-
lett, vanth a number of other smaller
jobs. The bpilding prospects—partic-
ularly in the country--epem to be good
this season.
NEARLY A BLAzx — The town hall
• narrowly escaped destruction by fire on
Wednesday afternoon: MrWelsh had
int : a fire in the furnace in order to
beat the building for a concert practice,
' shutting off properly the hot air regis-
ter in front of the lock-up. The hot
air pipe here got unduly heated, setting
fire to the cellar joist, and the wonder
is that it had not happened before, as
Joints are too near the pipe for safety.
A well -directed •stream of water soon
glut the fire out. It was fortunate that
it did not break out in the night, for
once fairly started, the building could
not. have been saved. The place has
since .::n made perfectly secure.
Ta ".hRDENsHiP.—At the meeting
of the County Council, on Tuesday,
Me, ' , os. Strachan, reeve of Gray, was
ele-r:, warden by a majority of one
over Mr 11. Eilber., reeve of Stephen.
The former • is a Liberal, the latter a
Conservative. Mr Strachan is one of
• the oldest reeves in the councils (al-
•' / though out for a short time) and will
creditably fill the Warden's chair.
e same can very truly be said of Mr
;Silber, who is one of the ablest men in
the bounty council. This position
ostially goes by party favor, but as
the Liberals claitn a majority of five in
the countil, they could not all have
supported Mr Strachan.
Fv1 nnAL DELAY.—The funeral of
fes• ° Miss Moore, announced by circular for
• 10.10 last Friday morning, did not take
place until Saturday afternoon, owing
to a numberof unforeseen and very un-
, pleasant contingencies. As the body
WAS being brought aoross the Detroit
river, an officious Canadian officer, so
it is alleged, refile d to allow it to be
' landed, although accompanied by the
ostial medical certificate, signed by the
doctor who bad attended deceased.
When the friends got to the station
• ' here op Friday and found neither body
on the train or received any explana-
tion as to its delay, they were aston-
,dshed, but a telegram had nevertheless
• been forwarded. from Windsor, an-
, bouncing the delay, but by some unite-
*
. countable reason it did not reach here
until after 12, o'clock. However, the
'body' came along on the evening train,
accompanied by friends, and was in-
terred from the home of Mrs Crich, an
'aunt of deceased, on Saturday after-
noon. , .
` FIRE,—At about 7.30 last Friday ev-
• eningthe house of Mr Jas. Milder. Al-
bert St., wee found to be on fire in an
`upper bedroom; ef7ecte below were

TRIFLES.—Saturday was like a fair
day in town. The pitch holes are very
bad through the country. Mrs Sten -
eon, late of Manchester, who has been
visiting for a few days, einigrated to
Exeter. The House of Refuge receiv-
ed two more inmates last week, mak*
big 60 now in the building. The month
of January has passed without much
severe weather. Regular meeting of
council next Monday night,
Nom So—For some time it has_been
rumored about town that each of the
milkmen had been find for watering
his milk. No attention was at first
paid to the slanderous story, as being.,
entirely without foundation, it was
supposed no one would believe it. But
it has become so general, that in justice
to the parties concerned, it should be
denied. The story has not au atom of
foundation as regards any of the per-
sons concerned; and those who, repeat
it do so at the risk of a suit for damages
DEATRS.—A recent lease of the
Christian Guardian contains an obitu-
ary notice of the death of Mrs Graham,
wife of Dr. Graham, formerly of Wing -
ham, which occurred at Frenso, Cal.
Deceased was a sister of Messrs Fred
and Eby Rumball, and was born in
Goderich township in the year 1839.
At Hamilton, on the 18th.Mrs Keef-
er, mother of Rev. B. 13. eefer, and
Edwin Keefer, late of Clinton, died in
her Nth year.
The first death among the inmates
of the House of Refuge occurred on
Wednesday morning, on the demise
of John Sadler, of Wingham, at the
age of 60 years. He has a brother also
an inmate. The brothers were at one
time well-to-do citizens of Wingham,
but lost their property, it is said,
through being their own worst enemies.
His body was taken to Wingham for
interment.
The other day Mrs Cooper, Albert
St., received word of the death at Vir-
den, Man., of Mrs Joslin, wife of Mr
John Joalin, for many years a resident
of town. Deceased was a sister of the
late Thos. Cooper, and leaves a grown
up family, only one of which, if we
mistake not, is now a resident of
Ontario.
Mrs. Wanless, wife of Mr. John Wanless
jr., the jeweller, died at the residence, 740
Spadina avenue, Toronto on Monday
last. Deceased had been i11 only since
Thursday last, peritonitis being the cause
of death. She was a daughter of Rev. .Dr.
Gregg, of Knox College, and sister of
Mrs. A.Stewart,of Clinton. Widely known
and respeoted—a prominent worker in
Bloor street preebyterian ohuroh—her loss
will be keenly felt.
