impre: sed, and weare looking for pleas-
ant results from their delibecations.

FPoTnatas-A large number *it-
nessed the football mat& on Thursday
evening, whet!. the Ironsides of this
township •and a °Hilton team lined up.
The game was neither fast nor molt •
ing. although the Clinton boys defeat-
ed: the lronsides by two goals; this
was not unexpected, aetheground was
very slippery, and the yisiting team
was rigged out accordingly -with steel
pegs on the soles of their shoes, and
other conveniences that show their
athletic. smartneas. During the first
half neither side scored, but on chatig,
goals the Clinton boys were credit,
ed with a scone; of two, although the
first goal was accidentally shot at ran-
dom by one of their opponents,- and
Was no credit to the winners. A young
man from Clinton refereed the game,
ith-egenerals--dissitiefaction--tos'thes'
Ironsides, and also to the onlookers.
Foul tripping was. of great assistance
to the Clinton team, and wits in almost
every • offence overlooked by the un-
learned' and Partial referee. The de-
feat has not daunted the courage of
the losers,who have challenged the
winners to another game at some fot-
tire date,providing ' they play better
football end less dirty work. [Cloi-S,
rooting the above item concerning the
foot -ball match, the Clinton teatn,
by the rides of playing, was credited
with but OM goal; the other one was
off side; this is terecitfy the 'mistake
so that no person can find fault with
