COLD WATER AND HOT SCOTCH.—
K.ingstou has spent $70,000 in
extending its water works and
Goderich has spent about $60,000
for the smile purpose, and yet the
dewaud fur "lot scotch" in those
localities does not seem to have
decreased.
�IUNICIP.IL LIBERALITY.—On
Monday night the Brantford Coun-
cil voted $.100 to the Mayor, and
$20 to each of the reporters, and
the salary of the Mayor of Hamilton
has been increased from $1200 to
$1700, and that of Mayor Clarke,
of Toronto, to $4,000.
A PLOtutNG BEE IN JANUARY.—
The Hamilton Times says: There
was a merry plowing bee en the
farm of \Ir. William Raspberry,
West Flaniburu' township, on Mon-
day, 7th Jan. Eleven of Mr Rasp-
berry's neighbors turned out and
not. only plowed, but harrowed
twelve acres of land. There W08
not the remotest sign of frost in the
ground, awl the field looked as uic:;
• when it was done as if the work had
been accomplished in March or
April. This is pretty good plowing
for the 7th of ,laniary.
THE new organ factory in Clinton
seems to bo satisfactorily progress-
ing.
Ma. GEO. E. PAY has been re-
elected chairman of the Clinton
Public Sohool Board.
MR. DAVID WELSH JR., of Michi-
gan, who had. been over here visit-
ing friends has returned to his

ral to Clinton cemetery Tuesday
22nd.
HAYS' furniture factory at Wood-
stock, employing 400 hands, had a

LICENSE COMMISSIONERS.—For West
Huron :—Myles Young, Blyth ;
Samuel Sloan, Goderich ; James
Stevens, Clinton. For South

.er; Brucelield.. .
INSPECTOR PAISLEY is keeping his
wbather eye open. Last woek he
had a Nile party fined for selling
'liquor without a license and a
Clinton man fined for selling con-
trary to the provisions of his license.
SUMMING UP.— A defeated •town
councillor tells something like the
following about his canvass and of
the vote :—Persons who prontiaed
to vote for him, good moral living
men and women, 127 ; doubtful
ones, not so good living 32; refusals.
9 ; ballots marked for him, say 54 ;
relatives of Ananias at least 73.
ANOTHER FACTOiIY.—The estab-
lishing of a factory in Clinton for
the manufacture of furniture is
spoken of. Tho names of those
mentioned as likely to be connected
with the new enterprise would indi-
cate its success if 'gone into. Clio-
ton will have to branch out in the
manufacturing line if it expects to
progress.
A MAYORALTY MUDDLE. --We
observe by the Guelph papers that
irregularities are alleged in connec-
tion with the recent mayoralty
election in that city between Messrs
Sleeman al Gowdy. Among
other things, " if is ..charged that
more votes were recorded than there
were names on the votore' lists, and
that a uumher of persons had voted
at More than one polling sub•divis,
ion.
ITE WANTED TO GET EVEN.—A
dentist says he had an odd exper-
ience the other day. 'A man came
into his office and told him ho
wanted a tooth pulled. After he
he had been seated in the dentist's
chair he said :—`Now, don't pull it
all at once; pull it a little, then ease
up on it and punish the pesky thing,
punish it -it has been punishing
me for a month.
THE DOMINION VOTERS' LIST:—
Tho printing of the Dominion
voters' lists has just been completed
at ,Ottawa. It is the biggest print-
lug job ever accomplished in Can-
ada. About 150,000 pounds of type
have been used a nd 55 printers
were constantly eugaged for ten
c, oaths in setting up the jub. The
matter will be kept standing for the
future, There aro 'nue million
names on the voters' lists of Canada.
Tho list fur each constituency is
arranged by polls, so that changes
can be made by simply revising any
particular poll, without otherwise
interfering with the body of the
work. Fifty copies have been
printed fur each revisiig•barristor
and will be forwarded at once. It
will be about the end of' the year
before a complete revision is accom
plislted. When this is done, Mr.
Senecal, the Superintendent, says
the uumbcr of voters on the Lists
will amount to about 1,050,000.
RES`ronINo AN Or.n Room.—The
following from the Ayr -correspon-
dent of the Galt Reformer refers to
the now deceased father of the pres-
ent Dr. Cassidy of Goderich. Veri-
ly the good that wen do lives after
them :—"Mr. Jos Gillospie,painter,
is busy restoring l► somewhat inter-
esting room ill tho building on
Stanley street, opposite the Ililborn
house. The room in question was
fitted up by Mr. Francis Cassidy for
-the use of the.visiting clergymen of
the R. C. church when that body
held seivicee here. Upon the walls
are nine paintings in oil, the
principal scenes represented being,
"a Venetian palace by moonlight."
"Derwentwater," "Blarney Castle,"
"Abbey of tha Holy Cross, Munster,
Ireland," and the "Crucifixion."
Several years ago the walls wore
covered with the inevitable "paper."
This being removed and the paint-
ings being found in a fair state of
preservation it was decided to have
them restored as nearly as possible
to their original state. The work
was originally done by one who was
well known hereabouts a quarter of
a century ago and bears tho inecrip-
tion, "Tom Rhodes, landscape amid
marina artist, 1857. Francis Cas-
sidy removed many years ago to
Goderich where, we understand,
some of the family still reside.
Should this moot the eye of any of
the family they will no doubt bo
pleased to learn thattho room which
the old gentleman fitted up with so
mach care is intended to be preserv-
ed on account of the merits of the
wail: and for the sake of its connoc•
tion with former times in the history
pf our village."
