'.Mr. Forrester asked 'or • information
in reference -to the Colborne livery hire,
being of opinion that the .Council `dict'
not authorize the deputation;' as it • was
composed mainly of private individuals,
nand for the•Council. to pay the account
was going a little further than he equld:
conscientiously. sanction. • . The . affair:
had already cost. about $70:.
Conn., Menzies stated that although
he and the. Mayor went' With the. dele-
gation, it Was not. authorized. by the -

tion went in the interest of the town; or',
of private individuals, and: was informed•
that it ;vas in rho interest of . the town.-
- •Coun. Turnbull .agreed with Conn.
Forrester as to the principle involved,
and believed that •in.fnture.the Council
should see that such: matters `originated
with thernseves amid • should be. 'under
their .contiol;',hut as a member of the
Finance . 'Cora mitte, . and the account
having come before them; he believed it
should be paid. '
Mr. Moore believed too rnuch money
was coming outof Clinton with out getting
any return for it.' ' Ho thought one ,clo
legate in reference to the inatter would
have been enough, instead of two. •
The Mayor''ngroed With.' Coon. Far -
rester, but did:' not, see how anything
could be done now, but pay the account,
The item then ;passed, -

'were,made to him, when it was the In-
spector's duty to look After these, with
out throwing the responsibility on him,
Mr. Paisley said the Mayor should
.refer all partiesto him, ,,
The Mayor directed, the attention of
the By-law Committee to; the 'fact' that
town cows, in straying into the country,
erten brought young cattle into towir,
which were impounded and . sold, ,'very
often at considerably less than . their
value, much to the :annoyance and loss
of their owners, and hoped the By-law
Committee'would considerthe matter,
Mr. W. B. Crich was granted per

arranged their windows especially for
the occasion, and we beliere'we are n,ot

would have done credit to places of
much greater pretentious than Clinton,

tainly found an assortment sufficiently
varied, -attractive and fase'inating to meet
the wants of all, itnd must have been
struck with the particularly good taste
Manifested by the selection of these
goods. Miss Scott, who had just open.
