vi$SX'ECTOn OF WEIGHTS AND MEAS•
U'1tEs.—Mr Hughes, Assistant Inspect-
or :of Weights and Measures, was
around town last week in the perform-
tiee'of his duties. We presume that
e:; !does only what the law requires
la 110 do, but it has always seemed to
us as.a piece of imposition, and we
'vppiee the sentiments of a good many
Harness men in saying that the law
• ehorild either be abolished or amended.
r�instance he goes into a store, testa
Scales, the work of a few minutes:,
>finids them absolutely correct, and
charges the owner from_ 50c to $2.50.
A law which allows a man to collect
'fees to this extent is evidently unjust.
. l(t is;the interest of every business man
•have his scales correct, and the Gov-
terntment should see that that which
lookrs like an abuse should be remedied
,.'n.htl a earliest opportunity.

unusual here, though common enough
in the cities, and the innovatioa, as In-
troduced by the Cricket Club, proved
a gratifying success, The rooms of
this XXV Vtub last Thursday evening
were appropriately deem ated, and the
large crowd present evidently felt per-
fectly at home. Lack Kennedy occu-
pied the chair, in the absence of
President A. Armstrong, and talks
and reminiscences were the order of
the evening. W. Jackson, W. Bow -
banks, Mr Terry, D. Freeborn, F.
Jackson, W. Brydone, Jas. McMur-
chie, J, P. Doherty, I. Read and others
made suitable addresses, while Messrs
Spalding, Harland. j err- Downs and
the Orchestra furnished suitable music,
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.—Theregulat,
meeting of the above association was
held in the Reception room of the
-House of Refuge,-Olinton, on Tuesday
last, Dr. McKay, President, in the
chair. The following members were
present: --Drs. McKay, McGinnis, Beth!
une, Sloan and Burroughs, ot Sea -
forth; Taylor, of Goderich; Campbell,
Zurich; Agnew, Londesboro; Ross, Au-
burn; Livingstone, Seaforth; Shaw
and Turnbulr, Clinton. The meeting
was one of the most interesting that
has been held for some years, A num-
ber of very interesting papers were
read and patients presented, and all
the members entered heartily into the
discussions following each paper. The
first paper was the report of a case
with operations, which had been in-
cidentally brought up at the last meet-
ing at Seaforth on account of a simi-
lar case without operation. being pre-
sented there. A very animated dis-
cussion followed the reading of this
paper, and there is a strong probabili-
ty that the same subject will be taken
up again at the next meeting in June.
Dr. Sloan, of Seaforth, read an inter-
esting paper on "Appendicitis." A
numberof patients in the House of
Refuge, suffering from different mala-
dies, were presented for opinions from
the members. The committee having
the matter in hand presented the ad-
dress they had prepared to send to Dr.
Graham, late ot Brussels, who has left
the county and is now studying in
New York, and who always took a
deep interest in the association. On
motion of Dr. Taylor, of Goderich, it
was decided to hold the Association
meetings continuously in Clinton, in-
stead of Clinton and Seaforth alter-
nately, and to have them at the House
of Refuge. A vote of thanks was ten-
dered to the manager, Mr French and
Mrs French for their kindness and
courtesy to the members and for hav-
ing everything nicely arranged for the
meeting. Meeting then adjourned to
meet again in June.
NOTES.—In the Nova Scotia elections
last week, one of the Liberals elected

Huron St. A car load of immense
blocks of Bedford freestone arrived
here last week for Seale & Hoover,Clin-
ton Marble Works. On Friday last a
heavy hail storm visited this section,
the hail being so large as to break
windows in some instances.' The re-
gular meeting of the council takes
place next Monday 0night. The Good
Templars held a pleasant, enjoyable
and well attended open lodge meeting
on Friday evening; the weather was
not favoratlle, but the lodge room was
nevertheless full; Mayor Holmes oc-
ried the chair, Messrs Houston,
Hrris and Swallow gave addresses,
while the balance of the program was
made up with singing, clubs -winging,
etc. Fireman Samuel Notley, of the
London Fire Department, formerly of
Clinton, has been laid up for a few
days, having severely injured his back
while rescuing Fireman Taylor at the
burning of Crystal Hall. Mr L. L.
Walper, late of Clinton, is the new
manager of the Duke of York Hotel,

ter to his store. Marsh Morrish will
Occupy the house on Albert St. north,
formerly occupied by Mr Weir. Mr D.
Cantelon claims that a dozen eggs
from his Minorca fowls will average
two lbs. from the nest any time; this is
a high average. Mr Plumsteel has an
eleven months old filly which turns
the scales at 915 lbs.; this, he believes,
will almost "beat the country," and
the colt is not rap in flesh either. Mr
Greish, late of Berlin, has taken a pos-
ition in the case -making department
of the Organ Factory, and is moving
