Are the Seasons Changing P The heavy downfall of "the beauti- ful" Tuesday night while not exactly pleasant for pedestrians or conductive to the brightening up of business in general, is probably what the farmers most needed and thus will eventually beuefit us all.

The congregation of St..Paul's will be very sorry to hear that next Sun- day will be Miss McHardy's last Sun- day with them as their organist and choir leader. Frequently during the past year she has intimated that Easter '98 would terminate het -connec- tion with the choir, but it was hoped she might be persuaded to change her mind. The choir, and in fact the whole congregation, will deeply de- plore their loss, and fully realize how difficult it will be to fill her place. Death of David Oardiner. Mr. David Gardiner, who has been for many years a resident of Clinton, (lied Monday morning from softening of the brain, from which he suffered for many weeks. The funeral took place to the cemetery north of the town Tuesday afternoon when the re- r'with b restrlc re- mains red o rua)n, were lute honors, the deceased having been a member of Court Clinton, I.O.F. Rev. Mr. Stewart also conducted services at both ' > home andandgraveside. Mrs. itrd- tri ra Hier and their family of three sons and two daughters survive to mourn their loss. Promotions In the 33rd Batt. Colonel Wilson, of the 33rd Battalion, has retired, through the Gazette has not yet announced the fact. While the juniors regret the Colonel's retirement, yet it contains for them a certain amount of gratification its it permits of a series of promotion, which are so notoriously slow in these piping times of peace. Major Varcoe, of Carlow, is next in rank and it is taken for granted that he will be given com- mand of the Battalion, with Captains J. A. Wilson and Hays as Senior and Junior Majors, respectively,. This is also a peg pp all along the line, for in- stance between Captain Combe and the Majority there ave now only two officers. Lieutenants, McTag- gart of Co. No. 4 and J. Jackson of No. 3 have also been advanced a step, both hating been gazetted first lieutenant last Saturday. The Date of the Local Union Meeting Changed. The Quarterly Local Union Meeting will be held in Willis Presbyterian Church on Monday evening, April 18th, instead of April 11th as previously an- nounced. The first address of the evening will be given by Mr. Harry Fair, of Londeshoro, subject—" What Constitutes a Well Kept Sabtteth." The second will be the address of Antos R. Wells, of Boston, editor of the Christian Eroleavor World, subject— "Tenth Legion." The third will he given by a representative of Turners E.L. of C.E.. Subject "Systematic Giv- ing." Brisk discussion is expected to follow each address. The choir of Willie church will supply the music. A collection will be taken to defray ex- penses of the union. A cordial invita- tion is extended to all. Wedded at Noon Yesterday. A happy event Look place at noon yesterdity at the residence of Mr. John Leslie when his daughter, Minnie, was united in marriage to Rev. J..L Pat- terson, Presbyterian minister at Ar- thur, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Mr. St.ewer t. Thn bride, who was charmingly gowned in brocaded pink silk, was assisted by Miss Tena Cooper, while Mr. It. F.V. Dickie, of Knox College, was groomsman. After the ceremony, the good wishes and congratulations, the company sat d0wu to the rep!Lst, which was in readiness and at. 3.30 Mr. and Mrs. Patterson left, by the east -hound train for their honeymoon, after which they will take np their residence in Arthur to which charge Mr. Patterson was quite recently appointed. By the demi-mire of Mrs. Patterson, Clinton losers one of its mast, popular young ladies which was quite in evidence by the handsome presents she received. ry Shall the Curfew Ring ? The Town Fathers Feel Disposed to Give It a Trial. ingoutside s 11 t4 youth t all -tu •bedo the y by compulsion was impracticable. Tho Mayor while scarcely committ- ing himself, so far as speech went, either for oe against the Curfew, said the truant law was of somewhat the sante nature and he could not claim that it was a success, inasmuch as it die] not by any means abolish hookey playing, to which many lads are ad- dicted, notwithstandingevery endeavor of the ,parents to make then attend school regularly. Councillor Plummer was outspoken in opposition to any such by-law. He had been m'Lking enquiries where they had such a law and had learned that it was a farce. The boys simply eluded the officer whose duty it was to see that they played in their own yards at eventide, and that's all there was about it. And it led Ito deceit. Then as to fines. They would fall upon the parents who pro- bably could ill afford them. As fot' putting boys in the lock-up, he thought that ahot}ft the worst feature of the whole atftir. Hu 117081d certainly oppose any 5(1(11 iutee- ference with domestic rights. C'nlcillor Todd saw neither rhyme nor reason in the propoeed by-law. 1 -Io thought it altogether unnecessary and was of the opinion that the parents who could not cuuteol their own child- ren shonld not he allowed to have any. He spoke from the standpoint of experi- ence and hinted somewhat broadly that if Councillor Doherty had like- wise gone through the Will he would not he half so anxious to tingle. the Curfew Bell. "I oppose any such in- terference." he said, "but if you are bound to experiment then I would say raise the limit from 14 to 18 years for there is •ras.ly more harm done abroad after dark between the tender ages of 14 to 18 than under the former age." The motion, which was introducer) by Councillor Doherty and seconded by Councillor Taylor, was as follows :— That the committee be instructed to draft a by-law in accordance with the petition of Rev. 13. Clement and 312 others, re Carfew Bell. The Amendment of Councillors Todd and Plummer was :—That the petition re. the ringing of the Curfew Bell be considered six months' hence. d The amendment was defeated and the motion carried •ou the following divisions :-- For the by-law—Bowers, Doherty, Mackenzie, Holmes, Wiltse and Tay- lor. Against the by -law --Kennelly, Jones, Todd, Plummer and Ford. On motion of Mackenzie—Ford the Clerk was voted five dollars for the extra wotek entailed in the drafting of the Loan by-law. Mr. J. C. Miller, of the Hotel Claren- don, complained of the escape of noxious gas from the big sewer pipe which runs under the Hotel and asked that the course of the sewer be divert- ed to the street side instead. The Fathers agreed that the request was well-founded and on motion the street committee was ordered to investigate further. There having been some misunder- standing as to the payment to the Salvation Army Brass band of the twenty-five dollars voted it at the last sleeting of the Council, Councillor Taylor introduced the question again and moved that the money be paid over without any further delay. The Reeve and Deputy both supported the claims of the S. A. which had purchas- ed a now brass horn on the strength of the vote and should have received the money before. As the matter stands the Band can get the greet by calling on the Clerk and fill nishi tie hit) with a written statement of the number of months over which the open air con- certs will extend, Perhaps there was some misapprehension regarding those concerts. It, will not after all be "popular" music that the hand will contribute, but tones to which S. A. songs have been set. ft is claimed though that their class of rnuslC is of rL more tech nice! nature than tient con- trillnted by the majority of town hands. Councillor Todd said at Monday night's meeting of the Town Fathers that if a petition were hawked about town asking for the summary execu- tion of any member of the Council it would Martin many signatures. No doubt he did not intend that his remarks should be taken literally, but was merely illustrating in e. home- ly manner the ease with which peti- tions are gotten up. But be that as it may, the 313 citizens of Clinton who asked for a Curfew by-law have very reason to feel gratified by the progress their pet scheme hits make. Very true, the by- law is not yet in sight, but the proper committee has been ordered in an orderly manner to at once set about framing a measure which will meet the regii'ernents of the case. The request of the petitioners was championed by Councillor Doherty who, white candidly acknowledging that he was more than dubious as to the good to result from such a by-law, said he was in favor of giving it tttrial, when if found unsuccessful it could be rescinded or what was meter still al- lowed to become a dead letter. 'Councillor Taylor said it was the ditty of members of the Cannot) to con- sider the wishes of the citizens and If 818 ask for a Curfew by-law he thought it should he given a test, for a longer or shorter period as was seen fit. He did not see eye to eye with the petitioners J done there and contended that it was scarcely an act of justice to cripple an established institution for a new one, especially when what was sought for was not a necessity but merely to curtail expenses. As to the scope of the business done by the elevator he said that quite often during the season as many as one -hundred and twenty teams per day unloaded there. Messrs. Forrester & Smallacombe, the lessees, sent ill communications in support of Mr. iewin's contention, but the Coun- cil unanimously adopted their Com- mittee's report. Deputy Jones suggested certain re- pairs to the hose reels. Otherwise he considered the Fire Company's appli- auces were in good shape and the Brigade, notwithstanding its lack of practise during the winter months. fairly swift. He timed then at Mon- day night's trial and said that just 3i minutes elapsed between the alarm and when the hose began to play. This he considered gntte satisfactory. The Fleater, ah.xtt which there has been ti0'ne val'in,nc•e with the manufac- turers up at. Braowl4, was now in hood w•>rkiug order and he thought, should 1)14 paid for. It Was sugg;'sted that before a check tvai sent to the Brussels people that the ,rcretary of the Under. waiters: As, 1.•: Lt.ion he requested to ex.Lt)line the 11'1(1141' Ltld If it C01U0S (11) to the requirements that p,tyineut he at once made. Chief \Vhe.ttle y, reported that so far as he could aecertain the street lights were tolerably satisfactory. At tunes there have been rnIShape but the Coin- p;any appeared to have endeavored to comply with the' contract with the Council. Councillor Todd did not agree with the Chief and stated that Ole lights were very often out when most needed, about church time for instance. Coun- cillor Taylor also thought there could be an improvement in the service. Councillor Doherty brought up the question of a 21th of May celebration, and asked the Council for a guarantee of one -hundred dollars, only to be used in the event of bad weather in- terfering with the success of the cele- bration. . He said that a grant of a like amount had been made for the Jubilee demonstration, but it had not been drawn ups». The request was unanimously agreed to. • By -Law No. 8 was given the requir- ed number of readings and ratified by the Council. It is fOr the purpose of raising the sum of $0,000 to pay off de- bentures to a like amount which will mature in a few weeks aud upon which seven per cent. interest has been paid. Upon the debentures it is proposed to issue the interest is placed at four per cent. The proposition is for the town to invest $5,l41 of 111e Stavely money and $1,000 otits Sinking Fund in the purchase of these new debentures.
