A more unpleasant or dis igreeahle
day has not been experienced for
months, than fell to the lot of the
Orangemen on Wednesday. Prom an
early hour in the morning until nearly
noon, the rain Mutely poured down.
However, this did not prevent a large
gathering of Orangemen and their
Wench:, tor they poured in by trains
and other, conveyances. It looked like
an all -day rain, and ladies in summer
costume had to find refuge where they
could, the men doing likewise.
By: one o'clock, how ever, it stopped
raining,.thoegh it didrn, et clear oft, but
the threatening clouds did not dampen
the ardor, of the brethren, and the
'lodges formed in procession at ,the
park, to the number of about twenty,
and marched • down the principal
•streets and back again.. After their
return to the walk George Hanley,
County Master, took charge of the
proceeding. Mayor Hoover rnade a
short address of welcome, and was fol-
lowed in speeches by A. M. Todd, Rev.
Mr. Gunne, Rev. W. McDonagh, of
Stratford, and ReV. G. M. Kilty. , The
speeches did not ' last very long, and
were Scarcely over before it started to
rain again, though it cleared up later
in the afternoon.

in the Clerk's office, Goderich on Sat-
urday, to talk over the appeal entered
by Clinton and Goderich tp. against
the equalized assesenient of the county.Ever since the subject has been un-
der consideration, the Warden has
been considerably exercised over the
Matter, realizing that once it was
opened it•would mean a good deal, so
far as the various municipalities were
concerned, and would probably be a
costly -piece of legislationi. He admits
the Justness of Clinton's claim, and
thinks the couneil should have adjust-
ed it before, but as no direct benefit
would aecrue to any naunicipality this
year, his advice has been to postpone
action until next year. feeling assured
that the Council would tl] n adopt,
some more equitable, equ liza ion.
The matter was dise s d very fully,
it being finally propo e o call a spec-
ial meeting of the Cot eil and appoint

to deal with the assessment of the
county'. The appellants have until the

willingness to accept the proposition
of the Warden, to which the Judge
also gave consent.
