MOVING TO TOWN. ---Rev. A. H.
Rhodes, Hyde Park, who has been ap-
pointed i.,cumbent of Holmesville,
Middleton's and Summerhill, moved to
town this week, and will reside in Geo.
Stewart's house on Mill street. We
welcome him and his family to town,
anu hope they will spend many happy
years in our midst.

I8 NOW OPEN. -The new cash
butcher shop was opened on Thurs-
day with a full stock of fresh, cured
and salt meats, sausage, lard, etc. Mr.
Couch, who has been compelled to
close his business formerly carried on
in the old Oombe block for more than
a year now, will be pleased to see the
faces if his old customers back again
and as many new ones that care to
favor him with their patronage. His
phone is 52, and his stand'is in the old
post office building.
PROPERTY CHANGES -Three re-
sidential properties have 'changed
hands the past week on Princess
street. Mrs. Reid, who "resides in
Toronto at present, has sold her place
to a Mr. Ecl;;mier, of Ethel • the old
-moo edea etil e.R,Ve5OBLOo .
by Mrs. Flintoff, has been purchal3d
by J. A. McCool. The house Mr. Mc-
Cool is leaving will be occupied by Mr
McIntyre, an ash dealer. Jas MoO1ay,
of Goderieh, is the owner'of this pro-
perty. Mrs. Biggins having decided
to return to town to reside has pur-
chased Win. Griggs cottage on Joseph
street next to Mrs Turner's.
THE CLOSING ASSIE MBLY - Hard-
ly anything could have been wished
for in order to add to the demure and
success of the closing assembly held in
the town hall last Friday evening, un-
der the auspices of the bachelors and
benedicts of Clinton's society circle.
The music was the most appreciable
part of the superb arrangements and
tar exceeded in style anything that
has previously been given on these
occasions. The cornet and combina-
tion of bass and snaredrum and cymbol
and triangle attachment • put on the
finishing touches to the harp, violin
and flute to perfection. Extra floor.
space was provided byonly one row of
chairs all around hall being left in
The floor was never in better shape,
due to a good cleaning and the appli-
cation of boracic acid instead of wax.

of town who were present, and gowns.

A VISIT PROMISED FROM
BISHOP BALDWIN -AH much as
our old,tiute rector's visit to our town
was appreciated we feel confident that
a visit from Huron's present Bishop
would still further met with the ap-
proval of the. public. The rector of
St. Paul's announced last unday that
the Bishop of Huron, Right Rev,
Maurice S. Baldwin, would visit this
parish a week night, ;tome time the
first week in May to administer the
right of Holy Confirmation, Should
the opportunity on such a mission be
extended him, a crowded church will
certainly be present on such an oc-
casion. TheBishop of Huron is deep-
ly loved and _respected by more than
Anglicans, who will most certainly be
glad of the chance to -listen -to him.

TEST YOUR CORN. --Farmers in
this sectionare advised to examine the
-corn they are using for seed the com-
ing season and test.it to make sure it
will grow. A well-known farmer in
?TisVie►nifTi'f teS- that itirotit al5'`years
ago this country passed • through just
a summer and winter as the past and
the next season a large amount of the
corn sown failed to grow. Ho argues
that on account of the wet season last
year, most. of the corn did not mature
properly and some put away in cribs
is still quite soft. The severe weather
he argues, has killed the germs of
much of the corn and its failure to
sprout will be the first knowledge that
some will have that the corn will not
grow. He advises the farmers, to' test
the seed by putting it in dirt and set.
ting it under a warm stove for four or
five days or a week, when it . should.
sprout. Anyone having 1001 corn
should, use it this year for seed.

A BUSY SESSION. -The license
board held its annual session at the
residence of its chairman, Mr. Jas,
Stevens, of the Base Line, on 'Monday
last. The discussions that arose over
many of the applicants occupied so
much time that much of the business
had to be laid over for further consid-
eration. The next meeting is to be
held on the 25th of April, at 4 p. m. at
the chairman's residence. A deputa-
tion was present from Colborne in -the
interests of W. G. Boggs, of Carlow,
praying that a licens3 be granted ; W.
Proudfoot, solicitor for .above app'i-
cant also presented a petition signed
by 100 of the ratepayers,. council and
treasurer of the township of Cblborne
asking for same. No cleft- ite action
was taken on this application but it is
likely that the request will be ranted
at next meeting. The applications for
licenses from Henry McBrien, Auburn;
J. McDonald, Whitechurch ; and S. S.
Cooper, J. Perkins and S. Pike, (Hin-
ton, was also left over till the next
sittingof the Board, •for settlement.
A difference of opinion seems to exist
amongg, th vmzpbers...nf .the, Board as
to whl-ch 1 ko iars.n `bt tilinton's
applicants render the better service to
the public, this however will be settled
on the 25th. The following . were

FURTHER PARTICULARS -Some
further particulars of the manner in
which the late Harvey Hall . met his
death is clipped from the Guelph Mer-

FELL ASLEEP. -With a complete
resignation to the divine will another
beautiful exemplary Christian' life was
brought to a close on Friday last in
the person of Mrs. Ann Horsley Tay-
lor, relict of the late Wm Taylor, and
mother of Jacob and Israel Taylor,
who are well known tow us all. When
she was compelled to take to her bed,
ten days previous to her demise with
pneumonia she felt confident that•it
was to- be her last sickness, which
proved only too true. Being at an age
when disease is hard to battle, she
having passed the allotted span,'. and
her tenement of clay declining from its
long habitation, made her an easy
victim for the "Destroyer.' "Last
September she in company with her
son, Israel, made a visit to her sons in
Manitoba, and returned. in November
feeling much improved in health, by
the trip. She experienced• as, fall short-
ly after returning, which confined her
to the house for. the greater part of.
the winter, but with this inisfortuhe,
added to her declining years, it was
hoped on the approach. of spring, she
would become stronger, but instead of
this, she was • called to her - reward.
Mrs. Taylor with her husband„ and
family came, to Clinton in 1872,and has
.resided here continuously since, she
lasting to see all her family, of seven
sons and one daughter comfortably
settled in life. These are Mrs. French
acid Joseph of Toronto. Win. of Chi-
cago, John Stephen, and Samuel a., of
Manitoba lbesides the two mentioned
above. She'was a menber of Wesley
church and a faithful attendant at all
the means of rracet so long as health
permitted, being in her accustomed
place at the service on Sunday morn-
ing ten days before her death. The
funeral was held on Thursday' after-
noon n short service with the boys
first being held at the home. The re-
mains were then conveyed to theWes-
at the extrication of his.
body was ithpossible for some hours.
The dead brakeman was down under
the debris close to the rails.
