THE SALVATION ARMY.—Last Moh- day night Ensign Scohetl conducted a highly interesting lantern service, en- titled "Little Jeanie," which was thor- oughly appreciated by a large number o•,people. During the first few weeks itis a noticeable fact that the services have been marked by a spirit of in- creasing enthusiasm and zeal and the °Akers and soldiers wish it to be known that it is their united determination to make next Sunday's services eclipse all previous efforts.

THAT NOBLE ANIMAL, THE HORSE.— We admit we may be partial to that noble animal. In many respects the specie comes near to humanity in in- telligence, and is undoubtedly one of man's best friendst, They other day THE News -RECORD noticed a heavy draught team, a four and five-year- old mare and horse, being led to the scales by Messrs. Joshua and George Hill, from near Summerhill. Both were of dark hay color, and mated al- most to perfection. The animals were pictures of beauty, ideals in their class. We followed them to the, official scales, where weighmastcr Welsh was on duty. There was much speculation as to the correct, weight, W. W. Ferran, Esq.,being an interested `spehtator. Some were within a few yhbunde, others far out. The mare weighed 1 pounds, the horse 1,000 pee;tnds, re understand this :noble arid beautiful team can be bought, but 'the owners did not appear anxious to give us the price. MORE C. C. CANDIDATES. -=By order of the Clinton Town Council a public meeting was held in the town hall last Friday evening to discuss the new county council Act and to•discuss the advisability of placing a candidate in the field, Mayor Holmes took the chair and town clerk Coats was elected secretary. The chairman explained several important provisions in the new Act, all of which have heretofore appeared in these columns. Mr. W. C. Searle condemned the Act in severe terms and named several prospective suitable candidates in John Ransfnr•d, D. Cantelon and D. A. Forrester. and nominated the latter as a suitable person. The nomination was seconded by Mr. Wm. Cooper. Mea s. Arthur and Joshua Cook nominated Deputy - Reeve S. S. Cooper. The vote was by ballott and resulted in 91 to 47 in favor of Forrester. The nomination was then made un- animous. Each nominee addressed the meeting and boiled over with good feeling toward each other. Mr'. Searle seemed to strike a hornets' nest in de- nouncing the new Act and in likening church quarrels with the disagreements of towns and townships. He was "crushed" by the chair and several in the ,tuc fence, when the meeting broke rip, the majority wondering whether the gathering was for the good of politics or religion with "our own Sam" wedged to a tissue, Mr. Forrester, if elected, will prove an able and painstaking representative. As TO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.—The days for Christmas shopping are fast growing leas, and already the tnd bf the busiest season of the year in retail trade is near. It is for the obvious interest of shoppers to bear this fact in mind and regulate their time for mak- ing purchases accordingly. In the early part of the forenoon the oppor- tunities for selecting goods are very much bettcr than at any later hour. The clerks have more leisure, and the stock of merchandise in every store is likely to be in Netter order. It is pos• sible to make examinations and selec- tions with much better effect than in the crowded afternoons which will con- tinua to grow more and more hurried until Christmas. For the same reasons, the wise shopper will make selections of holiday goods as soon as possible. Decays meanleas freedom of choice. They imply less attention from clerks and less satisfactory Conditions gener- ally. At the end there will be the usual rush of belated and crowded shoppers impatient at the enforced inat- tention of weary clerks pbysicialliy un- able ro give such consideration as they would wish to the demands made upon them. It is the part of prudence and comrnon sense to avoid n1I tnie a9 much as possible, and early shopping for the holidays is always a source 'of much gratification to those who practice the rule of promptness.
