F. held their regular meeting last Thursday evening in their hall, and were more than pleased with the number of guests from the surrounding Courts that attended. It was the largest society meeting ever held in Clinton, the hall being crowd - 3d lo tta utmost. Bro. Thos.

THE NEw rowN COUNCIL.—A large number of Mayor Holmes' friends have urged him to offer for re-election and if he consents he will not likely be op- posed.

The Oddfellowe of Clin ton are delighted with the prospects for such a big 'success of their concert on Tuesday evening next. Never before has there been such an advance sale for seats. The Oddfellows will be well r awarded for bringing to Clinton Mr. Jarvis of Detroit, and our citizens will have an opportunity to hear a singer of so great reputation. Mise Fisher, Elo- cutionest, is very popular in her own town of Goderich and will, we are sure, delight all lovers of Elocution. The entire programme is a first oleos one and should please and delight all who attend. CHRISTMAS SERVICE.—The festival of Christmas will he observed as usual in St. Paul's church, by an early cele- bration of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper at 8.30 and by divine service at 11 with a second celebration imuaegiate- ly following. The choir have been de- voting much time in preparing the musical part of the service which will be doubtless quite as good or even bet- ter than on former occasions: Hymn -- Christmas awake ; Venite, Fallis ; Te Daum, Schnecker; Benedictus, Beetho- ven ; anthem, "There were Shepherds," Buck; hymn, "Joy fills our inmost hearts to -day"; sermon, "Peace on Earth ;" offertory carol—Hark, the Herald Angels sing. Closing hymn - 0, Come all ye faithful. The church will be decorated ail usual with ever- greens. THE STAVELEY MONEY.—A good many citizens are wondering if the $10,000 from this estate, promised Clinton by the Ontario Governmeni;, is ever going to come. After arrange- ments had been made by a few local Reformers with the Government as to how the money should be spent, a citizens committee was appointed by the Council which .could have little or nothing to do from the fact that the matter was already settled. Know• ing this, tbo citizens committee could not accomplish anything. They were dismissed during the prevent month when the Council appointed another committee from the members of the old committee. As far as we have learned, the last will prove only a continuation of the former. After the death of the late Mr. S'tavoly the people of Clinton were anxious that the mpney ehould go td the Town rather then to the Government. THE NEws-REooRD was ridiculed by some friends of the Government because this journal pre. dieted exactly what has eo fat happen- ed. The patient people were a�� xious for weeks; the weeks as time Agrees - ed became months; and now the months have ran into yeare. And still the money le not here and will never tomo unless the parties who made the bargain press the matter. In the part the people have not been consulted, and it le not likely they will be in the future.
