torwttrd the names of those guilty of
Wrenches of ale 'iitW to the provincial
authorities who will prosecute. Hither-
to the matter has been left in the
hands of local officers and few con-
victions have resulted. The appoint-
ment of a division registr ar is also to be
made, who shall make returns of all
births, marriages, and deaths twice a
year. Every physician is now required
tnreportthedeath to the medical health
officer of the town or district before
giving a death certificate. The latter
ellen-make investigations and report to
Ihtr dividen registrar who will in turn,
fthout charge, Issue a permit to bury
the disoeased. The law applies to all
death% and puts heavy penalties on
auy-u dertakerq pall bearer, clergyman
engrave, digger who permits a burial
without a certificate from the division
registrar. Any doctor found to have
furnished a false report as to the causes
of death is subject to a $$50 fine and
discipline by the medical council.
Go TO Wo -K. -There is no legit-
imite reason why Climton should not
have more industries, but some one
must act before any definite action is
taken to forge the town ahead. The
first question is, Who should take the
initiative ? When such a question is
put we naturally look about a nd en-
quire who are our representatives.
The reply must be the Town Council.
To the rnemhers of that body the citi-
zens should first look to take steps to
create new and paying industries. For
instance, the Council could with profit
to the town and people lay down plans
for the formation of several joint stock
companies for the manufacture of pori.,
for the manufacture of canned goods
such as fruits and vegetables, for the
manufacture of twine. for the manu-
facture of footwear, furniture, &c., &c.
There is enough capital in Clinton to
snceesafglly engage in any one or all of
these. Through the laxity of these
who shonld be more public spirited our
population is kept in check, and the
people generally must be content to not
advance with the times. Situate es
Minton is, with the advantage of fer-
tile surrounding country, healthy clim-
ate and railway connection to the
south, north east and ;vest, a move
should certainly be made to take ad-
vantage of onr opportunities. We are
traits aware that too many public
;nen look to self Interests rather than
that of the public, but it is clearly the
ditty of the Connell to agitate and in-
terest the citizens of Clinton in this
matter. If the Council I& averse to
rakingrietion, let them appoint an
energetic citizens committee represent,

DEATH OFA GOOD Wk MA'N.-In the
death of Margaret Torrance, relict of
the late Thos. Fair, the community
loses a very highly respected and use-
ful person. Mrs. Fair had been ailing
for some time, the final summons Tie-
ing answered on the 1st inst., at the
age of 60 years. Boon in Wigtonshire,
Scotland, the deceased came to Canada
in 1850 with her parents, three sisters
and brother, settling at Paris, Ont. In
18.52 her father was drowned in Grand
River, the body never being recovered.
The late Mrs. Fair was accomplished
and received her education at Paris
afid Galt, and followed the profession
of teacher in the Central at Galt for
many years. In 1871 she was married
to the late respected postmaster of
Clinton and had consequently resided
in this town for about a quarter of a
century. She was a staunch. Presby-
terian and up to the time of her illness
was an active worker in the various
branches of church work; sbe *as the
first president of the Huron Presbyter-
ial Society, of which she was recently
made an honorary member,for some
