THE NEWS RECORD extends the band of sympathy to•our old friend Mr. Peter Cantelou, Sr., on his bereavement by death of the wife with whom ho has travelled through life for so many years. THE FitoST of last Tuesday night and Wednesday morning cut down the tender vegetables and nipped the budding fruit severely. Fortu- nately cereals were not far enough advanced to have any harps done them. WE had a call on Saturday from our old friend, Mr. Jatnes Gallagher, -of Goderieb. Ileowas uu pall bearers at the funeral of the late Mrs. Tewsley, which sad event took place from Goderich to Clin- ton. The gentleman looks hearty. A FALSE REPORT CORRECTED.— Some maliciously inclined individu- al has circulated the report that Mr. James Foster, of Varna, wrote the nameless effusion which appeared in an Exeter print a few weeks ago. Mr. Foster is a gentleman and too conscientious a man to descend to wash the dirty linen of any person. If he has anything to say he is not ashamed to put his name to it. We have known Mr. Foster for some years, and as far as we know are the hbst of friends. Wo have never charged any resident of Stan- ley with being the.author, and do not now do so. Stanley is made op of loyal citizens, and they do nd't indulge in such buncombe. C;a.1:Lt1i► Par'il"ic Railway and Steamship Line.

As for delegate L.

And with him we met an equally sterling compatriot in Robert McMurray.

A new election last week resulted in a tie but the clerk ruled oDo of McClay's votes out thus, giving Dougherty the spat, .Now comes county Judge Woods, who declares the vote a tio. And the clerk will have to break it. Mr. Dougherty who will likely receive his vote is a brother in-law of Mr. D. A. Forres- ter of this town. In any event there will likely bo another protest and thus the gooii work—for the lawyers—will still go on. which assembled iu Goderich last week whom we met was Mr. Henry Perkins, of Gorrie, a grand Lodge office], and-Paat' County Master. r.

Tho horse, from some reason, got hoyojid the lady's control—fora time. The buggy was rolled along at a speed that would have made the head of the driver of the fastest trotter in the county swim. Not so our matronly lady driver, though she was in the swim her head didn't swim, nor did the eggs swim in their own mucous lusciousness, not to any appreciable extent, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Out of the sixty dozen of eggs, with all the cavorting and so•callod runaway and smashing of hen fruit, only fourteen eggs wore broken, As this lady took second prize in a driving competi- tion at the Clinton Agricultural Show, the incident we refer to shows that the judges were not pos- sessed of partiality when they gave her second prize. The query is how would the obtainer of the first prize have come out under the eggs- ceptionelly trying circumstances?

At the board were the reeve and deputy • and councillors Cantelon, Johnston, Couch, Foster, Searle, Overbury, Walker. Circular from Mayor Erratt of Ottawa re tax exemptions way referred as was also the matter of a uniform for the Chief Constable. An exhaustive report from acting chairman \Ic- Murchio of the street committee was read clause by clause and pass- ed, Considerable new work will bo done. Messrs. W. Cooper, J. Twitchell and T. Jackson, .Jr., waited on the council with a view to having sidewalk from Couch's corner raised up about six inches. The matter was left with street com., with power to act, though the reeve said that hitherto they could not be gloved in this any more than a fly could be switched by a bob -tailed " toss." Chairman Manning presented a detailed- financial statement for May :—Stroot account $13,20, pro- perty $25.18, charity $9, Harland Bros., nails etc., $22, Rentgen $65., drains $38.99, assessors salary $60, street watering $25, Milne lumber $93.02, Whitely & Todd $5.75. Receipts, hall $20, office $5, drains $2. 90, weigh scales$19. Manning also read Treasurers statement. Tenders are to be invited for designs and cost of new roof for town hall. Chief Pay of Fire Dept, asked for five more men and 200 foot more hose. 100 feet of hose to be order- ed and property corns to consult Chief about the men. .Searle and Cantelon referred to street lamps not being lit., and the reeve took a hand in and gave Tweeter Tedford a hauling over the coals, and the Mayor fanned the little breeze by saying, in reply to the Inspector, that ho did not know the lamps were rusted out and useless and said he would see that they were repotted at once, Searle also called attention to the Inspector's laxity of duty in the matter of nuisances. As a paid officer of the town no one could blame him for doing his duty. Ily-laws were passed appointing D. A. Forrester town engineer with fall statutory powers and emolu- ments; fixing 4 feet the lawful height of fences; and granting remission of taxes on vacant premises after six mouths, in the proportion of one- third the taxes on same and ono per cant per month.

Several times we have received unsigned statements from Bayfield, and not being familiar with the hand writing we could net publish them. Saturday we received an unsigned letter undated except that it bore the Goderioh Post Office mark on the envelope. This writer asks "Why don't the fool killer visit Bayfield and kill the N -R. correspondent there with a stuffed club? You can't imagine how such stuff as he writes looks in print 'to subscribers not acquainted with the locality. If that man don't soon die, write Common sense or stop writing, I and afraid you will loss at least one subscriber !" Now, we won't say that everything that every writer sends us is "common sense"' But where would the best paper in the world be if all of them that con- tained nothirig but "common sense" were strangled, Again, why is not Bayfield just as much entitled to news of interest only to its people as are the p'eople of Gode- rich or Blyth or•even the Hub itself.
