NO 433 Huron House o Refuge to Messrs. •Daniel and Peter Stewart, of The lftanager and 1►tatron )Vow lin Oharae.--Inmateti to be 3 er:eiyea on anti after November UM. The County House of Refuge Com- mittee, consisting of chairman Either and Messrs. Holt, McDonald, Kerr, Kennedy, Cook and Geo. McEwan,met in the Rattenbury House on Friday last. Their labors lasted from 10 a. m. until near midnight, The building was minutely examined and on the wbolo proved satisfactory. Some ehangeain the heating apparatus will be made and the floors have yet to to be oiled. Proyision was made for this and the keys of the building placed in the possession; of the County. The offer of the Bell Telephone Com- pany to make connection with the building and provide all necessary re- quirements, for $60 per annum, was accepted, and the 'work will bo proceed- ed with at once. This includes free eommunicatiou with all connections in Clinton. Electric lights and power will be se- cured from the Clinton Electric Light Company. This firm has agreed to fur- nish 50 incandescent fights and all ne- cessary equipment, on. a five year eon- teact, for $180 a year, and she offer was accepted. This is veryreasonable when it is considered that the Company must in order to'give the service, go to an 'expense of $400. The lights will be on until 930 each night. the work on the Iine will start itnmediately. J. W. Chidley was awarded rhe con- tract for thirty mattresses at $1.90 each to be in the House by Monday. In order to avoid confusion and for the better comfort of those who will make their home with the County and Mr. and Mrs. French the various muni- cipalities have beau alloted different dates on which inmates will be accept- ed. The dates and districts are as fol- lows: - Menage. November llth-Ashfield, Brussels, Blyth, Exeter, Bayfield. TUESDAY, November 12th -Colborne, Goderich township, Goderich town, Grey, Clinton.

Inmates will each be permitted to bring a bureau, trunk and chair, each article 'te='lib..thereughiy di;3infeeted; nothing else 'will be allowed without the consent of the Reeve from the municipality sending the inmate and must also be snbjectto the approval of the Caretaker and Inspector. Before admission every inmate must have one good suit of clothes, one pair of good boots or shues, and two suits of good underclothes. Chairman Eilber was instructed to secure two fire escapes, one to be placed at each end of the building, which will greatly add to the safety of the in- mates. The County Council meets in Clinton on Thursday, December 5th, when the official opening will take place, and a committee consisting of Messrs. Kerr, Silber and Kennedy was appointed to make all necessary arrangements. Itis expected that Clinton will pro• vide conveyances for members of the County Council and guests to and from the House of Refuge on December 5th. -News Record. Child Burned to Death This community' was thrown into a state of consternation over the lament- able and heart-rending burning fatal- ity that happened the bright and prom. ising four-year-old daughter of Mr. Fred Geiser, of the 4th concession of Stephen, near Shipka, on Saturday last. If seems the child, as was her usual custom, strayed from the house into the yard, where she had whiled away many the happy hour in childish glee, and while indulging in a nice apple a num- ber of turkeys surrounded her and commenced eating thereof. Not desir- ing to lose her fruitin this way she walked over to a sugar kittle where potatoes were being boiled and in stooping over to get some of the ,po tatoes to feed to the turkeys the fire underneath iguitted her dress and in less time than it takes to write it she was in a mass of flames. Mr. Gotleib Matlock was passing at the time and heard the little sufferer's cries,butbefore he got to her rescue she was burned in a frightful condition. Medical aid was at once summoned, but all to no avail her sufferings were brought to an end by death about four hours later. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the community in this their sad Olio. tion, Her remains were interred in the Orediton cemetery on Monday fol- lowed thither by a large coecourse of sorrowing friends. McKillop: Mr. John Dorrance has sold his farm on the 5th concession to his brother, Mr. George Dorrance. The farm eontains fifty acres, and is ono of the best in this part of the country, It was sold for $8,000. Mr. George DO - ranee has been in Dakota for several years, and intends returning home and. taking possession on his new farm, Me John Dorrance intends going to Dakota in the spring, and if he likes the coun- try will likely settle there. Chiselhurst : The farm belonging the 12511 concession of Hibbert, was sold for $4,600, to Mrs. Westlake, of North Dakota, better known as Maggie J. Stewart, formerly of this place, Howell: Mr, James Beverley has commenced to rebuild his house which was destroyed by the late fire On Thursday a number of citizens assisted him in pulling down the old wall and cleaning the material which can be used again to build the inside walls. Iiullett : Mr, David Mountain, has. sold his farm, being lot 84, on the l.ltit eon , to Mr. i+'red Youngblut, for the sum of $2,750; the farm contains 50 acres, with the usual buildings. Mr. Mountain has bought his father's fame of 125 acres, beiug lot 86, on the same concession; the consideration provides also for other members of the family. Brucefield What would have proved a very inconvenient fire for Brueefieid was noticed and extinguished before much damage was done, at the station. on Thursday of last week shortly before the 4.46 train arrived; it is supposed that a burning match was carelessly thrown down, and dropping through a crack, set fire to some debris under the platform, and from this the platform ignited. Clinton: The other day, as one of the afterr:-oon trains was approaching Clinton ,from Goderich,Condactor Hung was standing upon one of the steps, when he slipped off, falling on his face on the gravel roadbed, When he re- gained his feet it was found that his face and forehead were considerably cut, and the services of a doctor were necessary to dress the wounds. which were bad enough to lay him off work for a week. Goderich: Chas. McPhee appeared before Judge Doyle ou Monday last on the charge of assaulting Alex. Glen a neighbor in Colborne township. The case was the outcome of a long-stand- ing quarrel between the two, and in the fight which capped their dispute, Glen was badly hurt. McPhee pleaded guilty, and His Honor deferred sent- ence until Thursday, intimating his strong disapproval of their conduct. A petition in McPhee's favor was we understand, largely signed, but not by near residents of the locality, as there was quite a strong current of opinion against him. Bayfield: What might have been a serious accident 'oecured on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Wm. McDougall, of Eg mondvtlie, with his nephew Lorne Porter, was transacting some business at Mr. Bonet.t's tiushop. As they were leaving the horse took fright, reared up, and striking Mr. McDougall' on the breast, knocked him down. The horse finding himself free, started to kink giving the prostrate man a parting blow on the stomach. Mr. McDougall: lay unconscious for a short time but was afterwards able to remove the broken shaft and harness from the frac- tious animal which had upset the con- veyance on the other side of the street. Mitchell: Boys, as well a9 men, who lead fast lives are sure to come to grief sooner or later. Ed. Anderson, who as- sisted in Mr. Sawyer's bake shop, and delivered bread from the wagon al- '. though only about fourteen years,, of age, always appeared to have plenty of money, and spent it freely at the res- taurants ;,and candy counters. For some time Mr. Sawyer was suspicious that things were not as they used to be, and some timreago he accused Anderson of dishonesty,but the incorrigable stout- ly denied the charge. Next morning, however, he failed to turn up at work, when it was soon discovered that he had "skipped," and is now supposed to be in Detroit, An auvestigation of the books showed that, he had received moneys from several patrons, which went into his pocket, and in order to balance accounts charges of from $3 to $7 were made against parties who were not owing a cent. Mr. Sawyer has no exact knowledge of his losses, but he is satisfied they are heavy, as this kind of thing has been going on for a long time. If the young thief ever shows up in Mitchell he will be sure to get a term in Central Prison. auvrILM. HARVEY. -In Hay, on the 2nd. inst., the wife of Thomas Harvey of a son. MARRIAGES.
