MINISTERIAL CHANGES.—This
year will witness the breaking of
many ties of friendship between
Methodist ministers and their con-
gregations, for in June next, the
three years pastorate of many of the
ministers in this county, as elsewhere
will expire, and they will be trans
ferred to new fields of labor. Among
those who must so change are Rev
Mr Tonge, Blyth; Rev Mr. Torrance,
Walton; Rev Mr Irvine, Nile; Rev
Mr Fear, Hansall north, and Rev
Hill, Bayfield, and Rey Mr Hartt,
Varna. In addition to these, there is
the possibility that some others who
have not been on their circuits for
three years, may also move, but es
their doing so is uncertain, it would
be premature to make any ennounee-
7inente.
THE C. A. A. A. are arranging
for a grand concert for the evening

it a good success. A leading feature
will be two grand Military Tableaus,
under the supervision of Lieut. H.
Tor, Rance, who is arranging to have
special scenery and costumes for the
occasion. A grand march, by the
members, in special costumes, will be
also on attraction. All the leading
local singers will assist and an entire
new program will be presented. Par-
ticulars of which will be given later.

pion, was read and ordered to be
filed :—
GODERICH, 21st Feb., 1890.
RE CLINTON TOWN COUNCIL AND
MR CORBERT,
GENTS,—I have been consulted by
Mr Corbett in re his appointment as
assessor of your town, and your can-
cellation of such appointment.
If I am correctly instructed, (and I
have copies of proceedings before me)
Mr Corbett was legally appointed for
the year ending Jan. 15, 1891, as
your assessor, at a salary of $60. Mr
Corbett took the necessary declara-
tion and entered upon his duties.—
You have since seen fit to appoint
another assessor. Have you consid-
ered your position in the matter?
The statute requires that the assessor
shall commence his duties on the 15th
of February. How can an assessor
appointed on the 19th of February
do this? Of course I am not your
adviser, but, as Mr Corbett's solicitor,
I hereby.give you notice'that if he is
not allowed to complete his duties,
would idsist-upon being paid bis full
�saltiev, as be is ready and willing to
go ors with his work, and it you pro-
ceed" to give effect to the change
made, as per by-law of the 19th inst.,
I will take proceedings which, I
think, will convince you that you
have but one assessor, and that, sirs,
is Mr Corbett. If you will examine
the fifth edition of Harrison's Muni-
cipal Manual, page 205, note "E,"
you will see that you have exercised
your pleasure in appointing Mr Cor-
bett for one year; you have entered
into a contract with him, under seal,
for that period, and you must per-
form your contract. Yours truly,
E. CAMPION.
The report of the Charity Commit-
tee showed the expenditure of $96.65
for the months of January and Feb-
ruary; this embraced over $37 on ac-
count of Mr, Whaley, and $21.50 for
a ticket to Iowa for Mrs Wheatley.
THE MEDICAL COIINCIL--The Can-
didates for the vacancy on t11e Medi-
cal Board for Ontario, are Dr Sloan,
of Blyth, and DrMcCartby,of London
The nomination papers were put in
this week, when it was found that Dr
Sloan had, by a considerable majori-
ty, the largest number of supporters.
The election does not take place for a
couple of weeks, and we are informed
that Dr. McCarthy is, in the mean-
time, canvassing among Dr. Sloan's
supporters, in order to get thein to
withdraw their support. The medi-
cal men of Huron have never been
represented on the board, and now
when they have h chance to a good
man they shouldutand by him united-
ly. London has, if we mistake not,
a couple of representatives already.
