The Clinton Dry Goods Palace deemed advisable, on Friday evening The room in the corner of the town hall was rented to Mr Jaynes Yo•.rng, at 85 per month. The usual grant of $30 was passed to the Medical Health Officer, Or Shaw, whose annual report was read. The Mayor suggested the appointment of a small committee in connection with the Stavely Estate, who might secure plans or prepare during the winter for proceeding with active work in the spring, and after considerable discussion the following were appointed : - Messrs G. McTag- gart, Jaa. Fair, LV, ('rats, R. Holmes, W. W. Ferran, W, Doherty and 1). A.

The coun- cil decided that, all taxes must he paid by Decernher 15. The council will meet again next Tuesday evening, to wind up the busi- ness of the year. WORSE BREEDERS' A SROCIATI ON. - The annual meeting of the Dominion Draught Horse Breeder's Society was held in the Rat terib fry house on Wed- nesday last, with an improved atten- dance and interest. The annual re- ports show all expenses paid, including publication of third volume of the stud book, and nearly $120) in the hank to the credit of the Society. The old of- ficers werere-elected, viz: Pres., John McMillan; Vice. Pres., D. McIntosh; Sec., James Mitchell; Treas., .John Mc- Gregor. The retiring members of the Council were re-elected, John Ketchen taking the place of J. K. McRoberts, removed from the county.

CONTEMI'TInLE.- While the evening service was being conducted in the Baptist church, Sunday evening, some sneak thief entered the basement and stole therefrom a beautiful pair of gloves belonging to the evangelist, Rev Mr Moore, also a pair of rubbers belonging to the pastor of the church. We are of opinion that the above did not enter the church. to hear, but ra- ther to receive. DEATH. -Mrs Nelson, of Wingham. departed this life very suddenly on Friday. While engaged in her borne dillies she was stricken down, and called from time into eternity, from eart h to heaven, from pain and sorrow to joys immortal. The funeral took place on Sunday. OtiR Swit.--Mrs Dale, an old resi- dent of Wingham, is very sick. Mrs (Dr) Jerome is seriously sick, we hope ere another week to he able to give a favorable reportconcerning her. Al- though Mrs F. Davidson has the hest medical skill and the hest care that loving hands can give her, she still re- mains as it were hovering between life and death. R. Small's little boy, who had his leg broken some three weeks since, is nicely on the mend. HERE, THERE AND ALL OVER. -Mr Chapman intends taking a business trip to Winnipeg; he will leave on the 17th inst. Mr Walter Carlyle, a glove cutter in Chapman's factory, leaves this week for Toronto. Wood is both plentiful and cheap; on Saturday last the market was completely choked with it. Surely our mayor's offer will act as a stimulus to induce some other of our moneyed men to think, then to take active steps toward having a flax mill in Wingham before another fall. About five thousand sheep skins were bought by Mr Chapman this week, a tidy little sum at about t30c a skin. Button's chair factory and Bell's fur- niture factory are still running over time, and have lots of orders yet to fill. The life of James Gray, which was thrown upon canvas in the Salva- tion Army Barracks, Tuesday evening, was good, instructive and touching. 1 • There has been a discovery of goldAbear- in4 qua tz at Stony i. onntain, ]lYa I Tur aixtirroN NEST ERA For , . ...,�r4,aMenuslM•.w.NNA.n,.nw..nn+p+w.n,.vr This Week We offer you 100 pieces of New Music at 25o a oopy.

West Elgin Conservatives have nominat- ed Mr A. P. Campbell of St. Thomas as their candidate for the Legislature Toronto World: "Let us quit trying to settle the school question, and let us try and settle the country." That is good ad- vise. .Mr James Gilmour, M.P., was presented with a gold watch by the County Coun- cillors Middlesex, with whom be has sat thirteen•years, The Winnipeg Citizen banquet to Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister of the Interior, was a great success. Hugh John Mac- donald, M. P„ presided. The new Government at Ottawa has re- ceived a large number of replies from Boards of Trade to their queries as to how best to promote the trade of the country. The Office of inspector of military cloth- ing has been abolished on the ground that there isnoneedof the office. Lt. Col. Grey, of Toronto, therefore loses hie position, which was worth $1500 a year, with literally nothing to do. No one else will be ap- pointed. It is learned that at a meeting of the Scbocl Trustees at St. Boniface, Archbish- op Langevin's headquarters, last Monday night, a motion was made to protest the School settlement. It was withdrawn, as five out of eight were opposed to it. Arch- biehop Langevin is said to be yery angry at the trustees, Now that South Brant is open and Mr Henry unseated people are asking will Mr Paterson contest the bye -election and re- gain his old seat. The answer is no. The Minister of Customs could easily be elected in the vacant riding but the people of North Grey came to his aid whenhe needed a seat and he will not desert them. The Controller of Customs has dismiss- ed Mr Rayburn from his position as collec- tor of Customs at Deseronto. Mr Ray- burn had had a salary of $400 a year. The duties of the office will be discharged temporally by one of the special Customs staff until snch time as one of the faithful has been chosen. In Mr Rayburn's case politi3s is not the taus., of dismissal. It appears that he is an employe of the Rath - burn Lumber Company, and it is held to be incompatible that an officer of the com- pany which does four-fifths of the import- ing at D iseronto should be a representa- tive of 1{er Majesty's Customs. Mr Tarte, speaking at Cornwall on Fri- day evening, made the following reference to the abuses which existed under the old Separate School law: -"When the Norquay Government was defeated the position was this: -During the whole time the Separate School law has been in force Mr. (nowSena- tor) Bernier was Superintendent of Sep- arate Schools. But would you believe it, he never once visited one of the Public Schools, but he drew his salary of $4,0011 a year rekularly. But not only that; in one year alone he got 88 000 for certain tran- slations of English into French on account of the Separate School. I say after investigation, that the Separate School funds were shamefully misapplied or misappropriated, just as you choose to put it. For my part, I call it fraud pure and simple. If an invest- igation were to be held, as I hope it will, it will be shown that i am not too strong in my language. Such an investigation too, would show that the educational system of these Separate Schools was the most ineffi- cient ever pretended to be given to a Chris- tian community. Summerhill CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. -There is to he a meeting this (Friday) evening in the church here for the purpose of or- ganizing, if possible, a Christian En- deavor society. This has been a long - felt want here, • and we hope to see a good attendance and a eucceseful or- ganization. NOTES -Mr and Mrs N. Lovett spent Sunday at Leadhury. Miss S. Brown, of Londeshoro, spent part of last week visiting here. The Temperance Lodge is steadily gaining in membership. Do not forget the public examination in our school on the 22nd inst. Mr N. Bingham is now comfottably settled in his new house, and we hopethe gentle- man may be long spared to enjoy its occupancy. Miss Edith Manning spent part of last week with her sister Mrs C.
