An Addition of Seventy -Seven. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered in Willis church last Sunday morning. On Friday last the preparatory eery ices wereheld at which Rev. Mr. Shaw of Egmondville offici- ated in the afternoon and Rev. Mr. Murduck of the Baptist church in the evening. The latter took for bis text, Gen. 5-24. Seventy- seven new members were recei- ved into the church Friday night which is the largest class ever kuown in the history of Willis church as be- ing received at one communion. A Successful Sheep Breeder. Mr. James Macfarlane, one of the most extensive sheep breeders in the township of Stanley, or county of Huron for that matter, the other day sold ninety-one of his hest 'sheep to a Mr. Wineland of Avoca, Iowa, who took them west for breeding purposes. This is by no means the first or second time that Mr. Macfarlane has made WHAT ABOUT A PAIR OF GLASSES . such a sale. Those who know him for Christmas?

The Liberal meeting held in the town hall Tuesday evening was not by any means a crowded one, though many more would doubtless have turned out to hear the Provincial Treasurer had the weather been more favorable. Still it is likely enough what hampered a Liberal gathering in this town had somewhat the same effect upon a Conservative meeting elsewhere. The speakers were Mr. Moscrip cf South Perth, who won the seat by one of the most flagrant cases of ballot irregularity on record, Mr. Collins of Exeter, who is what is called a "rattling" speaker, and Provincial Treasurer Harcourt. Barrister James Scott was chairman. We want yon to come and inspect our stock. By the way, it you come early enoughyou can share in big money saving events in Underclothing, Xmas Ties and Gloves.

S rt-) �_4J _ J° VICTORIA ,Freon CLINTON' Collegiate Literary Entertainment. The first meeting of the Literary So- ciety of the Collegiate was held in its assembly hall Thursday evening last and was in every way a grand suc- cess. The hall was prettily decorated with flags and bunting and was well filled with enthusiastic pupils. The teachers also were present. Precisely at 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. W. S. Turnbull, who occupied the chair and who, as he roseto deliver his address, was loudly applauded. His remarks were forcible and appropriate, aptly setting forth the nature and purpose of the society. Following the president's address, a piano solo was given by Miss Jean McPherson, after which business matters were introduced. discussed and disposed of. The balance of the progranrine was then given as fol- lows :—Vocal solo, Miss Stanbury recitation, Miss Josie McMurray ; piano solo, Mr, E. Archibald ; reading, Mr. John Laird ; vocal solo, Miss Lough ; recitation, Miss A. Duff ; mouth organ solo, Mr. E. Carlisle ; address, Hon. Pres. John Houston ; recitation, Miss Shannon ; piano duett, Misses Bentley. Mr. Houston in his address thanked the members of the society for the hogorconferred on him in electing him to the p9sition of honorary president. Ile was well pleased that the students had prganized, and urged each member to take an active part in the meetings. It was all, in the interest of the culture and elevation of the hind, and as such fell directly in line with their school work. He concluded by wishing the society all dnceees. From the talent exnihited hi the rendering of the program, it may easily be judged that there is no lack of good material at the collegiate. The net meeting will be an open one and will be held in the ratite place on the evening of Tuesday, . Dee. 20th, whertrt first-class entettainfnent will en b mils. A be give y the p u' p l small ad.• mission fee wilt be collected at the floor. , A Cordial invitation is extended to all. Display of Hand -Painted China. Mrs. Parke is offering for sale part of her collection of band -painted china. It is at present on exhibition at Mr. Oombe's drug store and makes a very beautiful display as the work is certain- ly most artistic. Porty Hours Devotion. The service of forty hours devotion began in St. Joseph's church Sunday and continued continuously until Tues- day noon. Father 'West was assisted by Father McCabe of Seaforth and Father McEwan of St. Augustine. The Farmers Holding Off. The farmers of Huron seem in no hurry to market their grain, ant it is no bad sign that they are able to hold off. There was a little rush a few days ago, presumably it was to raise tax money, but the receipts for the fall in no way compare with those of last Ben- son when from six to twelve -hundred bushels per I ay were taken in at Fair's mill alone. The price to -day is sixty- eight cents, but some good judges think it will yet go down to sixty -flue. Getting the Rink Ready. The executive of the Curling Club met Monday night to make arrange- ments tor the seasonand have had men at work making a "bottom" for the ice so that if the temperature runs low there will be skating in a few days. The Club was placed in an odd -shaped district by the Central Association, Durham in Grey county being one of the rinks with which they are to com- pete, but the seerstary is trying to effect an arrangement whereby a central point may be selected for the matches with such rinks. Mr. and Mrs. Millyard Entertain. Rev. Mr. Millyard and Mrs. Millyard entertained the members, and their wives, of the quarterly official and trust boards of Rattenbury street church last Thursday evening. Mrs. Hodgens and MissRutnball were also present, making some forty-four guests in all. Thee ven- ing was very pleasantly spent, as was becoming in view of the very harmoni- ous relations existing between pastor and wife and the members and adher- ents of the church. This is the first occasion, we understand, upon which the joint hoards have been entertain- ed at the parsonage. Re the Army. The officers of the S. A. local corps desire through the columns of THE NEwsREOURD to thank all those who assisted in the Self -Denial effort which surpassed all previous efforts. the amount raised being seventy-five dol- lars. Last Sunday evening Captain Huntington took for his text "Re- member now thy Creator in the days of thy youth" and the soldiers par- ticipated in the after meeting with more than their usual zeal. There will be a special meeting on Wednes- day night of next week, to be led by Adjutant and Mrs. Archibald of.Strat- ford. The former is well known in Army circles for his energy, zeal and musical powers. Tried for Theft. George Devine was arrested Monday on the charge of stealing an overcoat and pair of rubbers from the Queen's Hotel on the evening of Friday last, At the trial before the Mayor, Devine's chum gave him away and swore that he was guilty of the theft. The ac- cused rather acknowledged the corn, but claimed that his friend was about equally guilty, for they were together at the time. It is said tbrit both boys were intoxicated. The overcoat was afterwards recovered. It had been hidden under Doherty's organ ware- house near the station, and the rub- bers have since been returned. The trial is in: progress as we go to press, but the general opinion is that Devine will be committed for trial. Apples for Christmas. Mr. D. Cantelon shipped last week two -thousand barxels of apples to Liverpool aqd two carloads to Glasgow. They are for the Christmas trade, and If the unforseen does not happen will reach their destination in time to add good cheer to the tables of the Britishers. Concert by the Ten Club. The concert given by the boys in St. Paul's church S. 'S. room on last Thursday p. m. was in every respect a purely boys' concert. They had their own ideas of what makes a good enter- tainment carried out to the full. Special mention should be made of the performance of Masters Harry and Bubby Brewer on the horizontal bar. The audience was large. Little Locals. Mrs. R. B. Coultice and Miss Ida Harland have joined Rattenbury street choir. The Baptist Sunday school will hold its annual Xmas tree on Thursday, December 22nd. Elliott k Mitchell have let the con- tract of packing their apples in storage at Brighton to people at that place. Miss Wilson will address the regular meeting of the W. M. S. of Rattenbury street Methodist church on Thursday afternoon. Mr. James Fair brought in two' car- loads of Manitoba wheat last week and shipped seven -hundred sacks of flour to Glasgow. Mr.' Louis Doherty gave an address on "Patriotism" at the meeting of the Rattenbury street Epworth League on Monday evening. The topic of the C. E. of Willis church to -night will be "What young people can do for the Church," which will be taken by Miss Annie Beattie. Rev. J. W. Holmes of Mitchell, a former Clinton pastor, will occupy the pulpit of Ontario street church morn- ing and evening Sunday next. The characteristics of the Apostolic church will be explained on next Sun- day p. m. in St. Paul's church, also the teaching of God's word on Holy Bap- tism. Snow shovels were in demand on Monday and the corporation plow, with the stalwart OhieP . between the handles, also did good work. Mr. Carter has since dug out the crossings and pedestrianism is possible. All communications sent THE NEWS - RECORD and intended for publication must be accompanied by the name of the writer, for reasons which will be quite apparent. For unsigned com- munications the w. p. b. yawns. The junior Leagues of Ontario street Methodist church has been engaged for some time past in making a "Bible Promise" quilt. It is now nearing com- pletion and will be sold at their meet- ing Friday night, the proceeds to go to the missionary fund. The Sunday schools of Ontario and Rattenbury street Methodist churches intend holding a union service on the afternoon of Christmas day, (Sunday, 2&th Dec.,) in the Ontario street church. Appropriate musical seryices are being prepared for the occasion. A Record Breaker. Sunday night's storm was almost a record breaker. It raged from sun• down to sunrise and when citizens awoke sixteen inches, on the level, of snow covered the ground, It was a surprise, too. as the day previous it looked as if what little "slipping there was was about to leave. Sooth- sayers have also been set at naught by the heavy downfall, as they would have it that thunder late in the fall in- dicated, and they never knew the signs to fail, fully six weeks of open weather. The storm has in addition set old citizens to thinking : did we ever have such a heavy fall of the beautiful so early in the season, and if so, when ? Mr. Fitzsimons informs THE Nnws-REooaD that on the 15th day of October, some twenty-five years ago, winter set in suddenly and continued without a break until spring. His memory is q'nite dtstinct about the date, for be was helping to farm at the time, and the first day of the storm they tried to get in as many of their turnips no possible. Few farmers rut. ceeaeci that fall in gathering their roots oto potatoes, which remained In the ground until neat spring, *hen everything came out all right except 1 one kind of turnips, which Were not worth the pulling, The Legal Weight . of Bread. The Town By -Law Calls for Two and Four Pound Loaves, but a Baker Asks for Permission to Make a • One and One-half Pound Loaf. A town baker made an unusual re- quest of the council at Monday night's meeting, it being no less than that the by-law relating to bread be amended by giving him the privilege of turning out a pound loaf. As the by-law now stands, and we fancy it is the same all over the country, loaves must be of two or four pounds weight, and if one baker make s a short loaf, inspector or no inspector, why may not another be given the right to manufacture a one -pound loaf ? To depart from the by-law is to lead to confusion, and it were better by far that the baker in 'question should adapt himself to circumstances, make his loaves the regulation weight, and, if his bread is worth more than the ordinary staff of life, put up the price accordingly. In the discussion on this question several members took part. Reeve Kennedy said leave the by-law alone, If the Maker makes a fancy bread let him charge more for it. Councillor Plummer also opposed med- dling with the by-law and said that he was informed that the baker had stated that only an expert could tell the difference between his fancy end common bread, presumably on sight. Councillor Ford said all bread should be stamped, so that the public would know what they were buying. Chief Wheatley took part in the debate and Wail understood to *ay '. that the by.law law Was bared on the statutes and the council Wield trot allow any departure front two and or four•pound los. Couytcillor a 1' w ave '� moved that the sub- ject bo left over until next meeting, and in the meantime mare infot�tyation ' lit to kA. gathered onii the vletve of other bakers ascertained. carried. The motion Mr. Lack Kennedy addressed the council on behalf of the Huron Poultry Association and asked for the use of the town ball free of charge during the three days of the winter show. He stated that efforts ware being made to have the best exhibition Yet, mad requested the co-operation of the council to the extent of no rental, This was readily and unanimously complied with. The report of Dr. Shaw, the medical health officer, was read and filed. It was couched in the Dr's usual out- spoken manner and we give extracts therefrom. Councillor Doherty de- murred somewhat to no action being taken. "What's the good," said he, "of paying thirty dollars salary to an M. H. O. and yet not heed his advice ?" "Leave it over for the new council to deal with" was the advice of Coun- cillor Plutnrner, who is opposed to any more expense being incurred than can be avoided by the pres- ent council, now on its last legs. In his report Dr. Shaw said :— The past year has been an unusual ono, re quiring sanitary supervision. In early spring we had a severe and extensive epidemic of scarlet fever, lasting for six months, afflicting in all thirty-eight families, in some of which wero five and six cases. The origin could be traced to carelessness in the very beginning in not reporting the cases and sending to school before convalescence was complete) when contagion is at its height. We found a good dual of difficulty in having the laws con- trolling that disease respicted. If parents would consult„their own interests and feelings and consider how they would regard a neigh- bor guilty of gross carelessness with bon- tageous diseases, they would take all the pre. cautions known instead of throwing obstacles in the way of the board of health, then fewer and milder cases would result. t There wero only six cases of measles reported ; these could all be traced to a case imported from the country. During the month of November two cases of typhoid fever have developed, both within 100 yards of each other, but a diligent search fails to locate the cause. The board of health made a draft of a by-law to regulate the sale of meat and milk ; providing for their inspeotion and also that of slaughter houses and dairies, and presented it to your worthy body for adoption, but you rejected it. It is becoming imperative that a change in this direction must bo made in the near future. There have been 37 births during the year, 151.5 per 1,000. The death rate has been 11 2-5 per 1,000 ; and 11 marriages. Reeve Kennedy reported that the road contracts had been completed so far as possible, while Councillor Mac- kenzie advocated incandescent foot lights for the town hall. Some of the members objected to this work being undertaken at this season, but it was finally resolved that if the proper com- mittee has not exceeded its estimates the foot lights should be put in. The recent break in the waterworks piping was discussed at considerable length, Councillors Plummer and Robb rather objecting to the council paying the cost of repairs. It should be met by some other party, they thought. It was finally decided, however, after the transaction had been clearly explained by Deputy Jones, that the town would foot the bill. Whd Benefits By The Title? A Minister Without a Portfolio is Like a Preacher without a Parish, but Mr. Garrow Expects His Empty Title Will Influence the Electors. The eye of Onta; io will be upon West Huron to -morrow and that of the constituency will focus upon Clin- - ton, the more so since Grit wirepullers and members of the Black Brigade have boasted that the electors have been influenced by Mr. Gaerow's fish - horn title and the boodle which the Brigade was sent here to distribute. Are these fellows speaking by the book,or have they not under -estimated the integrity of the horny -handed sons of toil who constitute the bulk of the electorate of this town. The latter, we trow, and if we mistake not the sura total of the ballots to -morrow evening will be a rebuke to boodlers and brib- ery, to those night -hawks who are well paid to work tor Carrow, and to the men under whose direction these strangers are plying their infam- ous trade. NEED NO POOR MAN APPLY This contest is between a rich and a poor man. One possesses an abund- ance of this world's goods; the other unfortunately does not and has had the fact thrown at him repeatedly since this campaign began. Not elixir us can be wealthy, but we can at least be honorably poor, and if in the lat- ter class, must we all forever abandon any hope of advancement ? Must our law makers be rich men ? Then where will the poor man's interests come in ? IS A MECHANIC TO BE SHUT OUT? It is also a fight of lawyer vs. meth •anic and though the former have had a predominating influence in the Legis- lature for years, the electors are asked to increase their number by returning Mr. Garrow. Instead of more lawyers in; our legislative halls should there not be less of thein and a greater num- ber of farmers or working men, who have the interests of the masses more at heart than haye these legal gentle- men who pile law upon law that they may profit, and profit handsomely, by the interpretation thereof. A TITLE .GIVEN AS A BRIBE. No reasonable man but admits that the title of Hon. conferred upon Mr. Garrow was otherwise intended than as a bribe, Mr. Hardy, whose standard of political morality is not high, tak- ing it for granted that the yeomen of old Huron could be influenced by even so petty a piece of trickery. Mr. Gar - row's acceptance of the title, which carries neither office nor influence, is an admission that he has as poor an opinion of the integrity oftheconstitu ency as has Mr. Hardy. For this, if nothing else, he has well earned sound defeat on Thursday, By-law No. 12, setting the time and place for holding the nominations and elections, was passed through com- mittee with Reeve Kennedy in the chair. The nominations will he held on Monday evening, December 28th, and the elections the following Mon- day. The deputy -returning officers will be :—St. Andrew's ward, W. H. Manning ; St. David's, Thos. D. Johns- ton ; St. John's, Thos. Cottle ; St. George's, S. J. Andrews. The deputies will each receive three dollars and the owners of the booths two dollars. Yn connection with the election it will be remembered that while an elector may vote for school trustee in each ward where he owns or rents property, yet for mayor or the councillors he is al- lowed no more than one vote. The ward system is abolished, except for the convenience of the electors in voting. The report of the finance committee as adopted was as follows :— STREET ACCOUNT. W. Wheatley, teaming $ 24 75 Jas.

In the matter of the Stavely estate money Mr. Garrow did not prove hima self a friend of this town. Had be been so the a1nount given °Clanton would have been greater than $10,000/ for if it was entitled, legally or moraily, to any it should have received more than it got. But in locking up the fiRls in such an institution as the Shively Memorial Hall be was a party to doing Clinton a still greater injustice. Had , he taken a common sense view of the matter and urged upon the Govern-, ment the granting of the money with- ' out any conditions, save that it was to be applied to some work which would benefit the town as a whole, he might have claimed some credit for his course as it would have been in the interests of the citizens. As it is, there stands upon the market square a building. that was not wanted and is no more necessary than a fifth wheel to a wagon. On one hand we would have had extensive and necessary im- provements made upon our streets and sidewalks, which must yet be under taken, without any increase of taxation to the ratepayers, but thanks in a great measure to Mr. Garrow the funds have been' locked up forever in a Hall, a "Memorial" Hall, forsooth. Had a hard-headed, practical mechanic or farmer been our representative at thattime Would he have been a party to any such transaction ? We think not. HOW THE SEAT WAS STOLEN. At the Holmesville poll 75 ballots were cast for Major .Peek and 42 for Mr. Garrow. The deputy -returning officer certifies to the correctness of these figures, so does his poll clerk and the scrutineer, yet when counted in Goderich one of the Major's baliota Was missing and this is what won Mr. Garrow the seat. We need not ask further how that ballot disappeared, but consider it in the light 'of results, 'that a gross injustice was done Major I3eck is, t'O believe, the opinion of all right -thinks ing electors who can at tunes rise above party, and we doubt not hilt that they will express theft~ condefn r,. kation by marking their ballots bn Thursday for "Joe" Peek.
