RECEPTION.—One of the most pleas- ant events which has transpired, for want years in this section was the re- ception last Wednesday evening to Mr, and Mrs. E. M. McLean at the Hotel Clarendon (the home of the br ide). A very large number of invited guests were present from town, London, Hamilton, Toronto, Stratford,Seaforth, Winghaut ani other points. About 10 o'clock the excellent music of the Sea - forth orchestra attracted the guests to the cheerful and spacious dining room and nearly all engaged in dancing. 'fire room was appropriately decorated with bunting and evergreens, as were also the hallway, retreat, &c. At uiid- i;ight an excellent spread was served, with the bride and groom at the head of the tables. Mr. T. Jackson, Sr., pro- posed the health of Mr. and Mrs. 'Mc- Lean in appropriate ter urs, coupled with the names of M. Houston, of the Collegiate, and I)r. Show, who spoke in highly complimentary terms and D1r. McLean replied feelingly. Dancing was resumed, some enjuyiag other in- nocent amusement. At an early hour all adjourned to their homes highly de- lighted with the elening's enjoyment. The trosseaus on the occasion were superb, the whole affair being emble- matic of so important an event. Mr. and Mrs. McLean have taken up their residence on Victoria street in the house occupied by the late D. McG. Malloch, and start on life's journey under the most favorahle auspices.

LINES OCR STAND.—A valued old- time subscriber writes from Goderich —"1 like the stand you are taking in this election. Your views are mine. A. great many here are commending THE NEWS -RECORD for its manly and straightfor ward course in advocating our national welfare rather than follow a line to defeat what we have stood up for for Oars. I am trying to secure a number of new subscribers for THE NEws-RECORD and will succeed. I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year." A 8QIIARg MEAL FOR THE EDITOR .— ouple of little ladies at Goderich who pursue the Free Press each week, evidently take everything for granted they read about the inrpecunions circumstances of ye editor. Their generous natures de- termined that their favorite editor and his family would have one square meal at least during 1895, for on Christmas eve the express brought the editor of the Free Press one of the fin- est turkeys produced in Huron County this year. It weighed, when dressed, nearly fifteenounds. The thought- fulness of our little friends up west, Misses Vera and Gladys Whitely is gratefully appreciated.—Acton Free Press.

WHITT'S CONCHRT.—Through OA oversight last week we neglected to make mention of the excellent concert given by Mrs. Whitt and her pupils in Industry.hall on the evening of the 18th ult. The pupils taking part were Miss- es Millie, Nettie and Ella Anderson, Allie Emigh, Bertie Carder, Gert ie Shane, Bertie Higley, Ella Metcalf, Katie Kelly, Maggie Sloane and Etel- ka Hamilton. Each pupil ac- credited herself with every ap- pearance itnd showed that in Mrs. Whitt they possessed a care- ful and painstaking teacher. The solo singing of Miss McWhinney, of Clin- ton, was well rendered and appreciated, as was also the singing of Miss Mabel Bell and Miss Elva Adams, two young ladies who made their first appearance in public and who showed the audience that they had natural voices that would yet bring there prominence. Mr. R. A. Downs, of Clinton, sang two nr three comic songs, which pleased the audience and called forth an encore. Owing to the unfavorable condition of the weather the audience was small.- Blyth Standard. THE HONORED DEAD, -As intimated in these columns, William Murray, an old and honored resident, is numbered with the silent majority. He came to this country from Sunderbtndshire, Scotland, early in the 30's and with his family settled in the township of Zorra, and in 1887 was one of the many loyal and active defenders of Queen and country. For a time the deceased was engaged in the fanning mill business at Beachville, removing to Clinton a couple of years previous to 1850 and assisted in the establishment of the Clinton fanning mill works. He was also engaged in the contracting and building business here, and performed considerable building on the Goderich railroad early in the fifties. A few years later he took over the management of what is now Fair's mill, and was con- tinuously with Mr. Fair from the time he took possession. Among the farm- ers within a radius of twenty miles his word was his bond and no man in the broad Dominion possessed more un- doubted integrity or had reposed in kiln greater confidence. A starhnch Reformer and Presbyterian, hepnr- mar.ded the respect of friend and op- ponent. In the fifties he was active in municipal matters and was an honored and trustworthy member of the Coun- cil, School Board, and Board of Health. The memory of such a noble heart shall ever be revered. To the surviv- ing widow and many loving relatives and acquaintances sincere expressions of sympathy go out in the lose of so upright and valued citizen as was the late William Murray. Mr. Coltman'preached in the Rattan - bury Street Church on Sunday morn- ing and Mr. N. L. Holmes in the even- ing. Mr. Coltman preached in the Baptist Church in the evening and his many friends were pleased to meet him. At the Baptist church next Sunday morning and evening, Rev. J. B. Moore, of Toronto, will preach. He will also conduct special services every night next week in the same place, Tho}igh unassuming, Mr. Moore is a most effective and successful evange- list.. Everyone is welcome. THE NEWS -RECORD mentioned the fact that Clinton should have a Y. M. C. A.—a Yorng Men's Conservative Association. Many of our exchanges have construed this to mean a Young Men's Christian Association and want to know what is wrong with the churches. The churches are all right and are doing good work religiously, hut politically the Y. M. C. A. has a field that takes its rank. All christians aright profitably become nrrrnhers and take part in the deliberations of the Association. All Conservatives are of course christians. 1 vISIMMOIL 11111•111•101011••••011111 Suitable Holiday Gifts. 0 Kid Gloves, Cashmere Gloves, Wool Mitts.
