CHECKED. -ime and again rHE NEws-REroRo Time called :mention to the practice of school children hanging on moving sleighs, but so far as we are aware no action has been taken by the authorities to abate the nuisance. The Algoma Pion- eer instances two narrow escapes which might be profitably applied to almost every town. In the first case half a score of little ones, some with sleds, were hanging around a heavy sleigh going at a swinging trot. One little girl with a sled missed her hold and rolled from a ridge of snow against the front runner, and narrowly escap- ed dropping between the runners and being run over and crushed. The teamster all uncouscious of peril, was enjoying the high glee of the bright and happy crowd. In the other in- stance a load of logs was the scene, and a little boy tried tt' climb up on the Pond. The teamster saw his danger and tried to stop/ the horses. But be- fore be could tits so the little chap fell off and rolled between the runners, and as the benches were very low he was pounded underneath. How he escap- ed 'Mien be attributed only to that Mys- terious Providence so often seen in the marvellous' deliveratCe of children from harem. The town constableshould be authorized, by bye-law if necessary, to stop with a firrm but kindly hand this exceedingly dangerous practice, and we hope that this appeal will not he in vain. MING O QD W ORS. --The school room of the Ontario street; ohureh was well filled on Monday ev ning at the meeting of the E. L. of C. E. The meeting was under the control of the social department and was presided over by Mrs. B. J. Gibbinge, the social vice-president. A. J. Cooper made a fine address on "Loyalty to Christ," and Perry Pluwsteel read an excellent essay on` Religio ya Social Life." The remaining part of the programme was conducted by members of the Junior League who acquitted tbemselyes well. In the midst of the meeting fifteen minutes were given for social intercourse, during which the mem- bers of the League busied themselves inpromoting conversation and cordial feeling and in a successful attempt to make visitors and strangers at home. WEDNESDAY WEDDING.—A very happy event transpired last Wednes- day in Clinton at the residence of Mrs. McNaughton. It was the marriage of her eldest daughter, Maggie J., to Mr. James Johnston. a well-known and popular gentleman of Goderich town- ship. The bride was most becomingly atttred and assisted by her sister, Miss Katie, and her neice, Miss Mabel, of Chatham, the latter being the pretty maid of honor. The groom was ably supported by his brother, Thomas M. The silken bonds were tied by Rev. J, F. Parke, Rector of St, Paul's, Clinton, assisted by Rev. Rural Dean Hodgens, of Seaforth, in the presence of a large number of invited guests. The bride is a most estimable lady and popular with a large circle of acquaintances. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. John- ston were of a hero ty and sincere nature, and the couple commence life at their comfortable home on the 1st concession under moat favorable cir- cumstances. The presents were such as their deserved popularity merited. THE NEws-RECORD extends congratu- lations and wishes Mr. and Mrs, John- ston a long and prosperous life. They will be at home on and after the 1st of March. HURON PATRON ASSOCIATION.— About fifty delegates attended the annual meeting in the Clinton town hall, and the various reports showed the order to he in good condition. One of the chief discussions of the day was tbe Haycock motion, by which the doors of .I'atronisrn are proposed to be opened to other professions besides that of the fanning and working classes. The Motion was handled without gloves, which shows that the moment the Patron organization ceases to he a Farriers' association, that moment many of its warmest sup- porters will withdraw from the order. Many other questions concerning the vital interests of the order were dis- cussed very warmly and ably by those present. The following officers were duly elected for the current year :—C. Pres., John Govenlock, Seaforth; V. Pres., B. S. Phillips, Hensall; Sec - Treas., W. S. Lawrence, Clinton; Auditors, R. Common, Seaforth, and J. NV. Yeo, Holmesville; Sent., W. Grieve, Seaforth; Rep to G. As., R. Common, Seaforth. The next meeting of the County Association takes place in Clinton. After the passing of the usual votes of thanks the meeting adjourned. NEWSPAPER, POSTAGE.—Mitchell Ad- vocate,—The big city dai'iesare agitat- ing for the re -imposition of postage on newspapers, the object being, if possi- ble, to crush out some of the country weeklies. It is to he hoped the Gov- ernment will pay little heed to such a narrow - minded demand. The sub- scription price of many of the country weeklies was reduced on account of the remissiou of postage, and the re -impo- sition would now be a hardship to the smaller publications, while it would in no way affect the big dailies, as the greater portion of their circulation never enters a nihil bag. The Globe and Mail, of late, have shown a mean- ness that is discreditable. In order to "kill off" the small city dailies, the price of these two papers was recently reduced to one cent per copy in Toronto, where their smaller rivals circulate, but outside of Toronto the price is kept up to the old figure of three cents. Such pa- pers are not qualified to speak for the press of the country, and we would advise them to attend to their own af- fairs in the future and allow the coun- try press, which has a mission of its own, to go on in the even tenor of its way. San AND St'nnEN I)EArN.—The home of Mr. William Muir has been sudden- ly plunged into mourning throng)) the death of the honored head of the fam- ily, On Saturday morning the news spread that Mr. Muir had passed to his reward about nine o'clock Friday evening. It was hard to realize 1 hat such was the case, hut it was too true. A couple of weeks since the deceased met with nu accident by which his left hand was severely injured. ile was able to be about and the hand was do- ing well. Last, week Mr. Muir com- plained of not feeling well and of some ailment in the region of the heart which terminated suddenly as above stated, the eturse of death being neural- giaof the heart. The late Mr. Muir was a sterling citizen, of an unobtru- sive demeanor, and highly respected. He was a -native of this county, being born at. ito dgervi1le, near Hensel', about the year 18.13. He was a car- penter and huilder by calling and ser- ved his apprenticeship with Wm. Mc- Donald of Exeter. For thirty years he resided in Clinton and was first em- ployed by the late M. McTaggart. For 28 years he was a most faithful em- ploye in the foundry, the past twelve years as foreman of the wood depart- ment. Thirty-one years ago he was married, and leaves a bereaved widow, three daughters and four sons to mourn their great less, one child being deceas- ed. Two sons and one daughter are at horse, Mrs. Weese and a single daugh- ter at Zephyr, and two sons in the Do- minion Express office at Winnipeg. The youngest of the family is eleven years old. The deceased was a son of the late Andrew Muir, an adherent of the Presbyterian Church, and a Nation- al Policy Reformer. He was a member of tbe Workmen and Canadian Order of Foresters, under whose auspice's_the funeral will take place thin (Wednes- day) afternoon. His late fellow -labor- ers have placed on the casket a beauti- ful floral anchor, his late emjiloyers a handsome wreath; as well es a beauti ful bouquet of lilies and a pillow with the word "father" from the family. The dehat .of such a citizen as eche Mr. Muir has brought forth sincere expressions of general regret and the family have the sympathy of the whole community. Peace to his ashes. Of them who wrapt In earth are cold, No more the smiling dayshall clow, Should many a tender talbe told, For many a tender thought is due. e of Home and the ambition to make it not only comfortable hut elegant are deep rooted sentiments in the Canadian heart.
