Before the report was taken up Mr Albert Grigg asked the council to put in a *We glass front and make other im- iprovernents to the store in the Market Building, when he would take a lease ( of it; the matter was referred to the •ppr.operty committee, The Fire and >.••Water committee reported that the f 1st of two Babcock extiuguishers pould be $25 each; a heater for the en- ine $110; an extension ladder $2 per oaf& a suitabl ladder; the chang- ing of the Hook and Ladder waggon about $5. The committee recommend - led the appointment of a night watch- ,;' •=an, for the balance of the official year, from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., (without inter - fering with the duties of the present onitable and weigh-,lerk) at aremun- ,oration not to excee 1 $200 per year. The report was thoroughly discussed. Some of the members were opposed to adopting any poi tion of it; the town would not, in their opinion, derive any benefit whatever from the change. Others thought a third man should not be engaged for watchman, but ;,that either of the two men at present in the service of the twon should per- form the duties. This was shown to be impracticable, under present circum- stances, and as the council had already promised to make the changes enum- erated, it was felt that the members were in honor hound to adopt the re- fStirt; 'mete--was---dtnl s- withente-a•-ell— 'Vision. The council then adjourned ,cLtneet on the 28th inst., to deal with further details of this report. -�. CLINTON vs. LONDON.—Olinton cricketers Contested with the Asylum team at Lon- don yesterday.

John Rough. We are indebted to the Guelph Mercury for the following partiouiars:—Rev. Jelin Hough died test Thursday evening at the family residence, Norfolk et., at the age of 67, He had a bad attack of grippe some years ago, whioh left him with his heart seriously affected. He was taken .down in January last, and though he bas rallied at times he has been gradually weakening, un- til he sank into unconsciousness a day or two ago, and passed away last night. 14 Ir. Efoegh was the Eldest sone of the late James Ho'n h, who held the honorable po- sitions of• township and town clerk; then - Deputy Clerk of the Crown and Clerk of the County Court, in this city for many years, dying several years ago at the age of 88. Mr. John Hough was born in Beeston. on -Humber, England, and Dame to this country with his parents when a boy, ar- riving in Guelph in 1835. He atended school here and learned the printing bus- inese with Mr JohnSmith, on the Advertis- er. He subsequently worked in the Toronto Guardian and other offices. On attaining his manhood, be decided to study for the Methodist ministry, and attended Viotoria College, Cobonrg. His first station was at Clinton in 1854, and then followed 36 years of faithful and successful ministerial labor at Peel, Mitchell, Howiok,Ainleyville Teeewater, Wyoming, Mount Brydges, Rockwood, Millbank, Trowbridge. Clifford, Gienailan, Gerrie, Londesboro, and Nassa- gaweyo, taking a superartuated relation in 1891. After an extended visit to old sta- tions, be Dame to Guelph four or five years ago, at the time of his father's death, and has ever since resided here. Though a man of serious disposition, Mr. Hough had a vein of humor whioh rendered his conver- sation quite entertaining as well as instruc- tive. He was well posted in medicine, and was able to be of much assistance on his circuits, especially in earlier years. Not a few times in the winter, owing to impass- able roads, he found no congregation to minister to, but no congregation ever at - „ended and Mr. Hough failed them, even if he had to roll a quarter of a mile over the snow, as he once did, in order to meet his appointment. He was ever most deeply in- terested in the work of his church. He was married to a daughter of the late Jacob Smith, a farmer near Columbus, Ont.; Mrs Hough died some sixteen years ago. There remain three sone—James Montreal; Louie, Sec Francisco, and John, Granton; and three daughters—Mrs. Dr. McMichael, Detroit; Mrs. L. Q. Coleman, Red Deer, Alberta, and Mrs. Dr. Swann, Toronto. The distant members of the family have been over this year to bid their father good-bye. 527 484 45-1 474 485 484 452 462 466 423 484 482 4(33 467 516 126 462 423 437 441 507 449 425 475 431 42.4 46-4. 426 471 426 484 511 497 535 479 433- 453 530 420 464 549 446 452 484 438 508 468 507 448 424 439 572 534 492 439 442 478 436 624 678 698 (117 635 731 722 950 685 747 619 795 654 700 691 719 654 ALL LYES Graduate of the Op- tical Institute of Ca- nada,thoroughly qua- lified to test eyes ac- curately and scienti- fically. , Free Test.

Dominion Immigration Commissioner McCreary, of Winnipeg, reports that within the past few weeks farmers from North Dakota have purchased 9,400 acres of land in the neighborhood of Elm Creek Manitoba. The purchase price is about $29,000. ACanadian who has been touring through several pities of the United States, and who returned here this morning, said in the majority of American oitiee a Canad- ian 25 pent piece is only worth 18 Dents, while in some cities they will not take them at all. Bills are almost worthless, he said. The oashier in one of the large houses in Chicago, he said, refused a five dollar bill on the Bank of Montreal, because he had never heard of that institution. John Oak, aged sixteen years, and Fred Morrow, aged 21 were drowned while bathing in Tooley's pond near Oshawa, Morrow lost his life in an attempt to save his companion, who could not swim. The results of the Provincial general election in Prince Edward Island, Wednes• day, according to returns, shows the elec- tion of 16 Liberals and 14 Conservatives, the House having 30 members. It will thus be seen that the Peters Government, which in the last Legislature had a major- ity of over 2 to 1, narrowly escaped defeat. The Trade returns for the fiscal year 'ending June 30 are now known and show the aggregate trade for tbe first year of Liberal administration to have been the largest foreign trade of any in the historg of Canada. Tba total trade on the basis of goods entered for consumption and ex- ported amounted in valve to $244,852,000 compared with $228,728,000 the oorrespond• ing returns in 1896, or an increase for 1897 of $19,124,000.
