[We are authorized by Mr Smithson to say 'that this is. incorrect. He did not have to unload, except on a train,nor was he delayed, as he arrived there on Wednesday, and was not in the snow. storm at all. STILL CL.IJtitis --- At the recent meeting of the Gananoque Board of Education Mr Linklater, of the Mo- del School, (formerly of Clinton) was voted an increase of salary of $50 for next year. This fact, considering that ,the additional sum was given. without being asked for, shows that our former townsman is steadily ris- ing high in public favor. At the Y. M.C.A. convention held last week in Brockville, a paper on "How can we aid our various churches?" by Mr ; Linklater, was well received by the convention and visiting ministers,- / The Gananoque Journal says that it drew forth a good deal of instructive discussion, l'AXES.-How nice it is to have good streets and sidewalks and how enjoyable they are until that some- what disliked individual, the tax col - p --.:lector, steps along with his bill and urges that the first of October is far past and that the municipality owes the bank a considerable balance, Then the streets become muddy, the w gale.- loeteipavemlezrtt4'+ -P•=aassel-4••pPpg-.itr-veet-ireather••erutl-•th-s' other sidewalks are so narrow that a "fellow really cannot pass another." All the visions of comfort take wings to themselves while the problem most vexing is. "Whore in the world am Ijto get money to pay these blamed !_ taxes?" Its all very well to ask for improvements, but their cost always appears on that tax account. r. C. I. L. S. -On Tuesday last the weekly meeting of the C.LL S. was Fheld in the Assembly Hall of the ' Collegiate Institute. As usual there was a large number of listeners, and from their attentive manner showed 'that they were an attentive audience. Many were up from the town. Mr - George Stanbury read a humorous piece entitled "The indigestible goat," and kept the speetators in roars of laughter; Mise Curtis read a splendid piece, and was warmly applauded, The editor's selections were, as usual, interesting, Editor Hartley also read- ing a selection from Diokens' Nicho- las Nickleby. Pleaoant and eloquent impro •ntus were given by Messrs Styles d Sloan, the former speak• ing iks, while Mr Sloan told us all teaching. In the musical line-.-..,.,ae Minnie and Hattie Rum - ball upheld their laurels very success- fully; these young ladies are, how - Ver, too well known to Clinton audi- ences to need any introduction. .A quartette, called "Come home," was nicely rendered by Misses Murch, Frazer, Pollock and Curtis, while the male quartette club of the school, Messrs McCallum, Gray, Bartley and Whitmore, covered tberuselves with glory, singing "Tramp, tramp," and i "The bulldog." After the critic got trouggh his criticism the meeting °lased. On Tuesday 17th, the meeting of 1889 will be held, at a very excellent program will en.
