who resides on Huron street, (mother
of Mr Josh Hamner,) is nearly eighty
years of age, yet she has never used

looks like business ; but we notice
there are some who apparently use
any scrap of paper they can lay their
hands on to make out an account or

looks like a one horse affair. Call at

ples and get our prices.

Fent/Apra—The Oelleglate. Inati=
tute Football Club held their annual
meeting last week, to fill up the va-
cancies in the Executive Committee,
and also to effect some changes in the
management, with Mr Turnbull in
the chair. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:—
Hon. Pres., J. Turnbull ; Pres., W.
Nugent ; Sec. Treas., J.W. Treleaven ;
committee — Messrs Ross, Taylor,
Robertson, Bowerman, Mills ; cap-
tains—Messrs Malloch, Agnew, Wil-
kie; referee, Mr Gamble. The club
is prepared to accept challenges.
CHARITY.—It will be seen from a
card elsewhere that the Charity Com-
mittee has adopted the plan of meet-
ing every Monday morning, for a
time, to consider applications for re-
lief. This question of the distribution
of charity is the most perplexing one
which our council has to deal with,
and causes any amount- of trouble.
To determine who are deserving of
help is sometimes difficult, and we
dare eayjlthere are people to whom a
little assistance would be of great
benefit, but who hesitate about wak-
ing their wants known. Persons
really in need will find that their ap-
plications receiye careful considera-
tion, and the committee will do the
very best the finances of the town
will allow.

completed this week, but will not be
opened for use until Sunday, 29th inat.
THE court of appeal of the Metho-
dist Church met at the Metropolitan
church, Toronto, on Friday. Among
the appeals beard was the case of Ru-
pert vs Guelph Conference, being an
appeal by Rev. E. S. Rupert, of Clin-
ton, against the decision of the said
Conference in the case of Rev. J. H.
Carson. The court unanimously held
the action of the Conference to be a
violation of discipline, and according-
ly allowed the appeal, and amended
the decision of the Conference. Some
who were disposed to think that Mr
Rupert had no occasion for his action
in the premises, now admit that he
was right, and it is a little satisfaction
to know that the church discipline
wason his side. Since the case has
been made public, he has received a.
number -of communications from fel-
low -ministers, thanking hint for his
stand on the matter.
SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION•—
The second quarterly meeting of the
Stanley and Tuckersmith Sabbath
School Association will be held in
St. Andrews church, Kippen, on Wed-
nesday, the 25th inst. The proceed-
ings will commence at 9 o'clock in
the forenoon and close by a children's
maes meeting in theevenirig. A Un-
ion Sabbath School Convention will
be held in the Presbyterian church,
Bayfield Road, Stanley, on Tuesday,
February 16th. This convention
commences at 10 a. in., and there will
be three sessions, the last one closing
at 8,45 in the evening.—A very in-
teresting programme has been pre-
pared for each of these conventions
and no doubt all who attend will be
greatly edified.

rations.
At the annual meeting of the Hul-
lett Agricultural. Society, last Thurs-
day, the following resolution was
passed :—
That this annual meeting recom-
mend to the newly elected Board of
Directors to take into early considera-
tion such steps as will lead, 1st, to the
extension of the boundaries of the

surrounding townships, or parts there-
of, with the town of Clinton ; 2nd, to
change the name to one to be approv-
ed of by the members at a meeting to
be hereafter called ; 3rd, to ask for
grants from the township and town
councils, towards tho expenses of the
annual exhibitions ; and 4tb, general-
ly such changes as will make the So-
ciety and its exhibitions more extend -

and in working shape, arrangements
will be made for the holding of the
fall show, en a scale and be a manner
far surpassing any previous exhibi-
tion. The people hereabouts may
rest assured of one fact, viz„ that the
show to be held in Clinton next fall
will possess elements of attraction en•
tirely new to this section, and will le

which Clinton is the geographical
centre and the leading town thereof.

was le fast -class order, the surface
being nearly as smooth as glass, and
a toboggan leaded with two or more
happy hearts—which hope to beat as
one—did not require much pereuaeion
to induce it to go down " like greased
lightning," and the down trip is taken
so, quickly that one experiences a
feeling of regret when it is over, but
that is nothing to the feeling he ex-
periences while it lasts. The ladies
take to a toboggan like a duck to wa-
ter—naturally,
as i
t were—perhaps,
e
rh
Po aPa,
because it affords an excellentupportu-
nity to "hold tight, there," and they
evince no fear whatever. Vbry few
of our "readers ever were on a tobog-
gan, and for their benefit we will just
describe the sensations experienced.
The average man, when he first looks
calmly down a "slide" feels hie heart
rise up in his throat, and before he
bas gone half way down has a hard
lump there that is nearly choking
him. He momentarily fears that he
is going to shoot over the side, and
he mentally vows that if he comes
through the ordeal alive, he will nev-
er risk it again. But he does, all the
same. There were some amusing ex-
periences last Friday night. A portly
business roan evoluted through the
air after his toboggan had slid from
under him, and after several well exe-
cuted but entirely unpremeditated
somereaults, he fell across the wire
fence. Another chap slid nearly all
the way down on his—ahem—belly.
This act was also entirely unpremedi-
tated, and was performed with won-
derful grace. When some of the to-
boggans would strike each other,
several adjectives not found in the
Bible might bo heard. Oh, there's
heaps of fun at the slide. Half the
toboggans had to be sent for repairs
next day, the druggists ran out of ar-
nica and court plaster, and the dam-
age to unmentionables was not a little.
At a meeting of the Toboggan Club
on Wednesday, it was decided not to
allow any person on the slide with-
out a badge on, also that the slide
will be open from 3 to 6 in the after
noon, for children, as they will not be
allowed on the slide at night time.
"THEM AIR'S OUR SENTIMENTS TOO."
Down the toboggan slide,
We started, side by side,
But luck was null,
Or I was dull ,
May woe the day betide:
I fancied that I heard
Tho chirping of a bird ;
My head I turned,
And never learned,
What caused my hope deferred.
ilp toward the firmament,
My old toboggan went,
And in the snow,
A mile or so,
My head made an indent.
The snow was cold that day;
My clothes were jerked astray;
Her laugh of glee
Rang after me—
Girls always ant that way.
Tobogganing since then
I've left to other men ;
I'll lose my. breath,
l`;y natural death,
Ere I will slide again,
