Blaekall, of Clinton, was elected Sec- ond Vice -President. Attention was drawn to the appointment of Lieut. - Col. McCrae, to go through the Prov- ince and instruct farmers in the dis- ease of tuberculosis. This appoint- ment has been the subject of discus- sion in the press and several members of the association condemned it strong- ly, among them Mr Blackall, who said he considered that Hon. John Dryden had by the appointment "thrown down" the veterinary profession, and that it bill could be introduced and en- gineered through the house 4;7 some private member cold water would still be thrown on the back of the pr•ofes• sion. THrs HOCKEY CLUB.- The second meeting of the Hockey Club was held at. the Commercial hotel on Tuesday evening. Mr O. Cooper was elected See. Tress. to succeed Ike Read,, who is leaving town. Ike has heed -one of the chief pushers of the chili, and his assistance will be greatl5r•- missed, not only in this club but byother sporting clubs in tcwn. TheclhWhas succeeded in corning to an a reement with Mr Shunk and the Onrlitig Club, whereby the rink will be built 50 feet wide in- stead of 35 feet as originally intended. With the neva• rink and good support there is no riason why Clinton should not have *he best team in this district, and it is to be hoped that the town will appreciate the endeavors c:t the boy,, and give them a bumper house every mate. HOW To BEGIN 'THE NEW YEAR.— Many new resolves are being made just now. Many people want to make a greater success of life this coining year than they did last year. Well, in order to make it success of life it is pos- itively necessary that you become it temperance worker. We (the Good Templars) need your help: we must put, a stop to the liquor traffic. Think of We to drunkard's raves every year. Have. youit forth any efforts to save them pp ? If, you du not show by word or action that you are in sympathy with no, of course we can come to but one conclusion, that you are in favor of intemperance. The liquor traffic inflicts more mischief up- on the nation, and more misery upon the people, than comes frorn all other evils combined. How can we sit with folded b°ands and do nothing when there is such a curse in our land. Join our order and help us in our work. Last Friday night being Xmas eve, it was thought, best to withdraw our meeting. However, a full attendance is requested to -night, Friday, as im- portant business will come before the meeting, after which a "surprise" pro- gram will be given; as this spit of pro- gram is something new, we urge every member to be present at 8 o'clock shat p. —COM.
