NEARLY 100 YEARS OLD.—The almost centenarian, Mrs. Winters, who died the other day at the resi- dence of Mr. Joseph Morris, Gar - braid, Colborne township, was one of the early pioneers of Beverly township, says the Gait Reporter, whore many years ago her husband met a tragic death by accident. Mrs. Winters was a sister-in-law of Cap- tain Dunlop, the first Parliamentary representative for the Huron Dis- trict.

AaoottDtNct to the municipal act Monday 26th Deer. and Monday 2nd January would bo nomination and polling days respectively. But the Ontario Government has proclaimed those days public holi- days. The question now arises can nominations and elections take place on legal public holidays. nor Run ACCIDENT.—As the cold weather keeps on a -pace the necessity for "something hot" be- comes apparent. The N. and N. E. Railway Co., endeavor to warm up their patrons by putting a train in charge -of Conduct)• Cyrus Hotrum. And though his only association with that exhilerating beverage is in the unfortunate ownership of the name, he permitted his train to col- lide with another at Hamilton, in- juring several persons and nearly killing his Engineer,Thomas Moore. Another warning against having anything to do with the "curse of Canada."' COLORS FOR CUR1STHAS.—The colors for Christmas are white and gold, and an eminent authority asserts "that there is no more joy- ful combination of color. White is a perfect union of all colors, and always the emblem o.f-.holiness and purity. Yellow may be used with the salve significance as white, re- .presentiug joy and gladness. The two colors typify joy, gladness and life. The other colors suitable for Cltristinas are red, which sym- bolizes God's love, and green for the bountifulness of God- It is well to remember these colors in Christmas gifts, and to make use of thecal." THEY ALL DON'T SING OUT "EUREKA 1"—The London Free Press says :—"Ono Who Knows" writes to advise all moneyless persons, and those having less than $5,000, to stop out of California, which -is said to be a country for rich people only: The writer says 'the poor laborer and mechanic should boar their Eastern•ills rather than fly out here to endure what is found here and enter the multitude in the dog- gish scramble fora poor bone." We long resided on the Pacific Coast, and know that no other State in the Union aro the lines so sharply drawn between the rich and the poor. BETTER MAiL FACILITIES.—The Goderich people have cause • to grumble at the unnecessary time taken by the -Grand Trunk to for- ward passengers and mails from Goderich to Stratford •as well as from Stratford to Goderich. From 12 to 15 miles an hour is the time made in Carrying passengers and her Majesty's mails over the por- tion of the road referred to, The old mud road stage waggons • male nearly as good time. The county town deserves better accotnodatiou than this. It would also bo a bene- fit to Clinton and the travelling public generally were the Grand Trunl: to accede to the wishes of tho Goderich people for faster trains, 'Tis S.iD INDEED—.FOR TIIE CiRITS.— The Seaf'orth B,epeeitor in referring to the triumphant viudication of the ,purity of the West Huron election ou the part of the 'reties and the dis- missal of the charges against Mr. Porter, heads its mention, "Tho Last Sad Rites." ..Tho words are applicable to the burial of the "live• ly corpse" that the Clinton 'Grits were going to galvanize into' life by a protest. Alas for Mr. Cameron IIo remains dead. Peace to his political ashes. We would not wilfully cast dirt upon the grave of a brave opponent. 1 -Io was lured to his death by bad associations. IIe trusted in false friends who gorged hint with the most hideous fabrications. •He could resist the stoutest opponent, but he Could not resist the blandishments and. the prejudices and the demagoguism of his party friends, and they did him to death. PROOREss OF "TIIE LSI PIKE".— This week: the first number of the WNW Conservative organ of Toronto, The Empire, will bo issued, It is looked for with great interest by both political parties. Tho mem- bers of the staff have been selected from Yearly every province of the Dominion.

Smith writes the Witness on Dec. 13 : .Notwithstanding the fact that meteorological reports aunounce another guild term approaching from the North-West, I believe that the passage over us of the existing rain - bolt is almost accomplished. Between it, and the arrival of the next, (we are not yet through with our rainy spells) I would anticipate a very severe reaction, during which ex- treme temperatures of from 20° to 30(:)' "below zero; will likely be recorded in parte of this Province and Ontario. This plunge away below the zero lino—accordiug to niy printed forecast—should occur in a few days—between this and Christltias. PRAISE FI1011 SIR RU'PERT Is PRAISE INDEED.—Iu another column will be found a condensed report of an address delivered in Goderich a few days ago, by Rev. \Ir. Mac- donald, of Seat'orth, on "Indian Wards iu the Northwest." From personal kuowlodge of the treat- ment of tho Indians the Rev. gentle- man testifies that the 'the government was doing a good work in its man- agment of thous." "The results shown ou the reserves could only have been accomplished by years of patient labor and careful training of the Indians. Mr. McDonald acknowledged that he was prej- udiced against the government by the slanderous allegations for- mulated during the last elections. This being the case his testimony is doubly valuable. Verily truth is nighty and will not always remain concealed at the bottom of a well. QUALIFICATIONS FOR MUNICIPAL OFFICERS.—The Municipal Alneud- mont Act, which lowers the pro- perty qualification of Municipal representatives, passed at the last session of' the Ontario Legislature, will apply to the forthcoming .muni- cipal elections. Under the new Act the qualifications for inayoi•s, reeves, and conucillors are as fol- lows :—Iu incorporated villages— freehold to $200 or leasehold to $400. In towns—freehold to $600, or leasehold to $1,200. In cities —freehold to $1,000, or lease- hold to $2,000. lu townships —freehold to $400, or lease- hold to 800. The old qualificat- ion was: Iu villages, freehold .6(10 Or Oa$1,200; � leasehold in towns, freehold $500, or leasehold?„ 1,600; in cities freehold $1,500. ur lease- hold $3,000, and in townships, free- hold $.400 or leasehold $800. TIIAT "BLACKMAILING.".—We are not responsible for the beliefs of our totem. His unbelief in the sincerity of THE NEWS -RECORD anent his charge of blackmailing by the Custom's Department does not prove the charge. . IIe says hea is iu possession of proofs. Our con- tention is that he is not, or that he is au accessory after the fact •to crimival wrong doing by 1101 pub- lishing the proofs 01 blackmailing. I -Io has impaled. himself' upon one horn of the dilemma 11e ruched into in order to make a point "agiu the Government." Ile eau choose which he will. But the .public cannot but consider that, he .either has not the proofs ht boasts of or that ltc is violating his duty as a journalist and making himself a patty to wroug doing by suppress - the proofs. Our cotem perpetrates a sly joke, "devilish sly" as Joy P,agstock of Dicken's renown would say, in asking TUE NEws-ILECORD to send to his office for reliable in- formation upon any disputed point, more especially in the platter of Customs which he has so many times characterized as "legalized robbery." That is the collection of customs dues is robbery though tauctioned by law. Undersuc1i couditiuus he is not an impartial ,judge and the public cannot accept his opinion without aocompying proof. Colne now, friend Era, the sooner you publish the proof the sooner will the public be able to judge whether you have been sup- pressing the information they ought to have been put in possesion of, or ftud out that your allegations are unfounded. In either case your position is not ono that a discerning public can justify, though they may pardon. And THE NEws-Ilaconn will bo the first to pardon when you acknowledge peccnvi. It is not the province of TIIE NEWS -RECORD to prove your allegations. That rests with you. We shall be pleas- ed to learn that your find is not a "mitre's nest" this time.

There was a magnificent spread and all seemed to enjoy themselves. Mr. Sheppard left for his western home on Friday. 1;iC SHIPMENT.—Mr. R. Irwin commenced his shipment of 50,000 Bushels of barley from Clinton last Saturday. This is the largest shipment, iu this line, ever made by a firm in the county. 100 cars are required and it is slaking station master Pattoson and assistants "slump" to keep Elio cars a rolling. But they aro. equal to the occasion, Agent Patterson being ,a host in himself. • \Ir,, (BURGH: HANLEY, sr„ of Cli'ntou was 71 years old on Sunday last.

I'ALr.'s Cticneil ORGAN.—We are requested to make known - that there Inay be a ,little delay in the arrival of the new pipe organ for the Episcopal church. A letter has been received from Messrs. E. Wadsworth & Son, the builders in Montreal, in which they say, that most unfortunately while the case containing the large ornamental pipes was being loaded by the G.T. R. Hien at Montreal, they very carelessly did not adjust the clogs firmly, and the case, a heavy one, fell to the ground a distance of eight feet, completely smashing it and badly wrecking the contents'. The churchwardens are hourly expect- ing a telegram to say exactly when the repairs can be effected. It is hoped that arrangements will be made for opening on Now Years Day. Since writing the above a telegram has been received stating it is impossible to have the organ ready for Now Year's Day. iW a r i EIeanI003 Fu We base in stock some vety SilNiile Goods lorlosPramis Ladies S.S.
