gBURCH Orgetreter.--Tee new Bap-
tist Chapel in this place was formally
dedicated ou Sunday last. The day
was anything but an agreeable one,
nevertheless good congregations as-
sembled at the three services. Rev
J. W. Stewart, B. A.of Rochester,
N.Y., officiated on each, occasion, and
those who listened to him were pro-
fited and pleased at the logical and
learned discourses that he gave. The
choir was assisted by members of
other choirs, Mr Sibley rendering
very efficient service. The offering
at each occasion, on behalf of the
building fund, was a liberal one. On
the Monday evening following the
building was crowded by an intelli-
gent audience, desirous of hearing
the address of Mr Stewart, on "Chiv-
alry." Deputy -Reeve Manning oc-
cupied the chair, and in a few brief
remarks introduced the speaker, who
for about an hour kept his hearers
almost spell -bound, The lecture was
an excellent one, and cannot be too
highly spoken of, and as no synopsis
could do it justice, we attempt no
summary. Rev Mr McEwau, of the
Home Mission Board, will preach
next Sunday morning and evening,
and Rev J. Edge in the afternoon.
MAXING A CHANGE.—Mr S. W.
Perry, of the Collegiate Institute,
has been offered and has accepted
the position of head master of the
Kincardine High School and will re
move thence during the corning holi-
days. The salary is fixed at 41100.
Besides the increase thus obtained in
salary, friend Perry will now assume
the title of Principal. There is not a
resident of town who knows him, but
will regret Mr Perry's removal. He
has now been connected with Clinton
Colleg,ie e- tigtit.utr_.for seYen_.3;erra,,
and ti'as• offered a re-engagement for
next year. Active and useful as he
las been in educational matters,' he
las heed equally so in church work,
and the Rattenbury St church and
Sabbrth School will lose one of its
most useful members by his removal;
While the people of Kincardine are
o be congratulated, Mr Perry may
feel flattered ot their choice. We
aro very sorry to announce his intend-
ed removal, and know that we but
voice the sentiments of all classes
sere in saying so.
'' COLLEGIATE INBTITUTa—The trus-
tees have advertised for a classical
master. to take Mr Perry's place. The
very best possible teacher will be ob-
tained, and the prospects are that the
coming year will be a very successful
one, The number of intending schol-
ars for nett term largely exceed any
term yet. The fifth teacher for next
year will be Miss Nettie A. Hume, at
present teaching in Alexandria High
School. She is spoken of as a young
lady ot splendid attainments, and a
most excellent teacher. , The Alex-
andria High School Board give the
following high testimonial :—" Miss
Hume has taught in our High School
during this year, as assistant teacher,
and has succeeded well in winnipg
the esteem and confidence of the
head master and pupils. She is pos-
sessed of high scholarly 'attainments,
and has the faculty of imparting in
an easy and effective way knowledge
to the pupils attending her classes.
She also possesses the very necessary
qnalification of keeping good order in �
her department. This board, there-
fore, can with great confidence re-
commend her as a very good teacher,
and also as ayoung lady of most esti-
mable character."

ROBBED.—Mr F. G. Rumball, of
London, son of Benj. Rumball, ot
town, had the misfortune to loose
about $200 worth of jewellery out of
his house, the other day, by the visit
of a thief during the absence of all
the household.
IMPROVING.—The public will be
pleased to know that Mr Geo. Rent -
gen, who some time ago sustained a
shock of paralysis, and has haruly
'been able to move since, is now recov-
ing, though slowly. He can walk a
few steps and is getting stronger.
ENGAGED,—Mr J. W. Hill, of the
gravel road, has taken a good posi-
tion with Mr W. Stanley, implement
agent, and will work in this connec-
nection during the coming summer.
This does not in any way interfere
with his present business. Mr Hill
has had considerable experience and
will make a good traveller. He will
likely move back to town in the
spring.
SCHOOL TRUSTEES.—The members
of the Public School board, whose
term of office expire with this year, e
are Messrs Dether, Scott, McGarva I
and Pay. Under the new law sue- w
cessors to these persons will be nom-
ivated
O
at the same time as councillors +
are, and voted for at the same time ; a
alto, that is a week later than the a
nomination, unless returned by ac- e
clamrnation. As all these men have 1 t
made good trustees, the easiest way,
and one that we think would be sat-
isfactory to all parties, would be to
re-elect them all by acclammation.
A POPULAR TEACHER,—Our gen-
ial and energetic Model School teach-
er Mr Lough, was the recipient of a
handsome cream and sugar cruet, at
the hands of his appreciative Model
School students on Thursday evening
last. The accompanying address read
as follows :—
DEAR TEACHER—As the session
for this year bas drawn to a close,
thus terminating our connections as
teacher and students, we wish in
some way to •express our apprecia-
tion of your labors, which we hope
will be productive of much good.
Please accept this present as a s ight
token of the 'high esteem in which
you are held. May you and yours
meet,',with every success in the future,
Wishing you the compliments of the
season, we 'remain,

THE FAR, FAR WEST.—We had a
all on Tuesday from Mr Oliver, ed -
tor of the Fort Edmonton Bulletin,
ho is making a hurried tour through
ntario. As many of our readers
now, Edmonton is nearly one thous-
nd miles north-west of Winnipeg,
nd about 300 miles from the near.
st railway station. They get a mail
here once a week, though when Mr
O:iverlwent there first they only got it
once a month. They are looking
hopefully into the future for railroad
a commodation, andif they everget it,
he is satisfied that the natural advan-
tages of that far.western section will
quickly draw settlers to it. One page
of the NEW ERA is as large as the en-
tire size of the Bulletin, and the col-
umns are about one-third as long as
ours, and his advertising rates are
only il240 per column. He is a mem-
ber of the North west Legislative
council, which meets twice a year at
Regina, and for whioh he gets $500
and actual travelling expenses. He
had not been in Ontario for 12 years,
and was very much impressed with
the appearance of this section of coun-
try, remarking that "any man who
could get along in Ontario, was a fool
to go to a prairie countay if he want-
ed to enjoy living." Mr Oliver is a
cousin of the Mcllveen's, ;living on
the base line, but bad not time to
stopand see them.
A HIGH CLASS CONCERT.—The
Chautauqua concert company appear-
ed in the town hall on Thursday ev-
ening of last week, and had a good
audience. From a musical standpoint
the concert was an exceptionally good
one, but we fancy that HO large a
mpany of first class musicians is
o expensive to leave much money
r the treasury. The orchestra, of 12
ofessionals, was exceedingly well
alanced, and played with great pre-
sion and credit to themselves several
ffrcult selections. Mr Arthur De-
w, (a former Clintonian,) the tal-
ted pianist and conductor, leads
ith great east and will yet make his
ark in the musical world. Mrs
urray Dickson's ballad "Come to
e" which was with orchestral ac-
mplishment was delightful, She
as a voice of unusual strength and
sweetness and her expression is also
worth special note. The elocutionist,
Miss McGillivray, has a very sweet
and winning way and comes on the
stage in such an artistes manner as to
completely surprise her audience.
Though her selectio�ns were rendered'
in beautiful style, They did not seem
to take as well as if they had been
more dramatic in character., Tho
cornetist, Herbert L. Clarke, played
several selections and delighted the
(hence by his clever manipulation
the difficult instrument, playing
o parts at the same time. Mr W.
. Ramsay, the humorous singer of
o cornpany, is really a clever voc-
ist, with a well-trained voice, his
angert of costume being made with
e greatest rapidity. Some thought
ton Conservative Association was trot
held at Carlow, on Tuesday after- fo
noon. There was representation from pr
every part of the riding except Wing- b
ham, width was unrepresented. The ci
representatives from Clinton were di
Messrs E. Coobett, W. H. Cooper, A. ne
Cook, A. Knox, T. C. Doherty, E. en
Floody and W. T. Whitely. Mr R.
Birmingham, the Conservative or- ie
ganiser from Toronto, was present. M
The following officers wore elected :—
Joseph Beck, President; Robt. Medd, co
Vice President; Jas, Mitchell. Sec,- li
Treas. R. Radcliffe, Goderich, was
appointed on the Executive Commit-
tee, Vice W. Campbell resigned, and
W. T. Whitely, of Clinton, was also
placed on the Executive. Resolu-
tions were passed endorsing the poli-
cy of Sir John 111 accionald, expressing
confidence in Robert Porter, M.P.,
and sustaining the leadership of W.R.
Meredith, M,P.P,, in Ontario. Ad-
dresses were made by Messrs Porter,
Birmingham, Felly, F. W. Johnston
and others, after which it was decid- au
ed not to nominate a candidate at „f
this convention, in view of the fact tw
that the elections would not come oil h
will be found before the time of elec-
tion willing to he slaughtered, but
whoever it will be has a hard task
before him. Commenting on the
non -selection of a candidate the Globe
says:—"This constituency is repre-
sented by Hon. A. M, Ross, and for
a long time walking has been very
had for Oonservative candidates."
Yes i .. it will be worse.
that this the only objectionable aart of
the programme for a high class con-
cert, while others regarded it as the
best part. A programme, entirely
free from humor, is not generally ac-
ceptable to a mixed audience, though
it may be overdone. On the whole,
it is without doubt the finest concert
cornpany Clinton has been favored
with a visit from for long time.
