MAKE IT A JIIBILEE.—We think it would be well to decide on a celebra- tion in Clinton this year for one of the three festal °days—May 24, June 22 or July let; one preference would be for a big jubilee celebration on June 22nd; we ave communications from several parties on the matter, who favor this date, and then let other towns, who wish to observe either of the other days, do so without friction. CONCERT. -Arrangements are being made to give a benefit 'koncert about Thursday next, for the purpose of,rais- ing funds to purchase scenery for, and otherwise decorate the stage of the town hall. As this is a very worthy object, and much needed, the concert should be well patronized, and at the small admission fee of 10c, the hall should be packed. The intention is to give a first class concert at a nominal admission, for the sole purpose of,pur- chasing scenery. NOTES.—Mrs E. Bingham, Goderich, was -the guest of Mrs T.
