Miss Hill, of Toronto, is the guest of Mr R.Ransford. Rev G.F.Salton,of Brus- els, and Rev, LB. Waiwin, of Bluevale, .were among transient visitors here last week. Miss Trewartha, of Harris - ton, cousin of Mrs J. Bean, is here on a visit. Mrs Reynolds, of British Co- lumbia, arrived here on Wednesday, with her children, on a visit to her Mother,. Mrs S. Andrews. TEE Siox.—Miss Jean McTaggart "has been ill for some time, and is still very poorly. Mr T. C. Edmons is now abler to be out, Mrs S. Andrews is somewhat better than last week. Mrs, :Corbett, who has been poorly for some ° time, is improving, Mr Donald Junor, lye are sorry to say, is not improving as his friends would like to see him. Reeve Manning is mending nicely, though still confined to his room. Mr Will Coats; we are glad to say, is on ,the mend. Mr James Turnbull, of the Collegiate Institute, is laid up at Tor- onto, with influenza, and the doctors - say that it will be a couple of weeks before he can be out. The wife of Mr Wilson, Rattenbury Street, is very low with diabetes. A VALUABLE GIi'r.—Dick Wright is a well-known mail clerk in Western Ontario, who now runs on the L., H. and B. route, with headquarters in London. Among his many friends he has a reputation and name that are particularly his own, and his chari- ri;, a, table acts are now proverbial. His zeal for the spiritual welfare of a r,,vorldly 'comrade the other day pitompted him to present a morocco - s covered Bible to Davie Campbell, mail carried 'n Wingham, who has already found i9so precious to hint, that he has expressed himself as bbetter pleased with his gift than if it had been "a ten - dollar pair of pants." Mr Wright's conclusions are that every man's ac- tions have an influence on his com- panions. EXPLAIN.—The following item ap- pears in our town cotem:— Hieland blood is getting aroused in the neigh. borhood of the Hill. And no wonder. when your 'contemporary will allow them to be made the butt of ooek-eyed oars in his paper. Personally, we know nothing as to what is meant by the above, but we 'Just want to make a few comments based upon it. All newspapers are compelled to depend upon the honor of their correspondents, and no news- lepaper desires to unnecessarily offend y the insertion of paragraphs that are offensive or objectionable. Our correspondents, with very rare excep- tions, have never violated this confi- dence, and we believe this is true of correspondents for other papers as well; but occasionally items get in that look unobjectionable on their face, but have a hidden meaning, known in the locality they are intended for. Now, we wish it to be distinctly understood that we do not want items of this kind at any time. We desire news, and will gladly publish all such that we can get, but thrusts in the dark, with a mean import, we do not want, nor will we publish them, if they can be detected beforehand. CLINTONIANS MARRIED.—At Bran- don, on the llth inst., Miss Kate Math- eson, daughter of the Rev. Arch. Matheson, of Qu'Appelle, was married to Mr Scott, of Winnipeg. Miss Math- eson is a native of Clinton, and her esteemed father is well remembered by our townsmen, he having resided here for many years. The good wishes of the many old friends of the bride go out with her at this time, and we only voice the sentiment of all ac- quainted with the family when we wish her unbounded happiness. A quiet wedding took place at the residence of Mr C. Cruickshank, on Thursday evening last, when Miss Aggie Cruickshank was united in marriage to Mr A. Weir, barrister of Petrolia. 'Mr Weir formerly taught here, but has established a good law practice in Petrolia. Miss Cru1 k - shank is well and favorably known to our townspeople, being the eldest daughter of Mr Cruickshank, and has been employed in the Public School fur some time; in fact her time has not yet expired, and the marriage took A place a little sooner thanriginally intended, at the request of her father, who, as our readers know, is invert' low health. We extend ourood wishes and feel satisfied that in doing so we speak for our townspeople gen- erally. On Thanksgiving day a young man of town, popularly known as "Billy" Allen, went to Seaforth, and was there married by the Presbyterian minister, to Miss A. Warner of this town. Both are well known, and enter upon mar- ried life with the best wishes of many *lends. Still another Clintonian has entered the matrimonial ranks, this time the person being Miss Minnie Frances Spooner, eldest daughter of Mr Chas. Spooner, of the Grand Union. The event took place in one of the parlors of the hotel, on Wednesday evening, in the presence of a number of invited guests; the groom being Mr Chas. F. McGregor, of Kinburn, formerly of Clinton. Held in high esteem, as both. the contracting parties are, they go forth in their new departure, conscious that they have the good -will and best washes ofa wide circle of warm friends.. The bride was the recipient of some handsome presents, the board- ers, generously showing their esteem for her, ME( ORO.

W. was .here las Friday and' handed to Mrs Cook; ' a cjraft#of $2,�0,being, the a noalnb•;oi' insurance ou the life o her son, whose death was .announced last week. This. was a4 pretty' speedy •.settlement. ScIrooL BO D,—A meeting of the Public School Board was held on MOO:- day on-day evening hast to fill the vacancies that, occur in the Staff, at the end of the, ,year, Over thirty_applications had been received. he following teachers were engaged for nextyyear;— W.

Wil- son; Oth, Miss Leslie; Primary depart- ment, Miss , A. Taylor, of Brussels. The principal was empowered to ad- Pust the rooms as he deems best. The rincipal's report for October showed the total number of scholars enrolled to be 446, with average attendance of 386. The new teachers—three in num- ber—have all accepted the engage- ment. All come well recommended, and the standing of the school will be kept up to its present excellence. Miss A. Ferguson was paid $5 for services during the illness of one of the teachers. SOCIAL.—The farewell social held in the basement of Willis church, on Thursday evening, was well attended; in fact it was the most largely attend- ed social that has been held in the town, the basement being crowded to its utmost. Mr James Scott, barrister, took the chair, and briefly stated the object of the gathering, after which he called upon the Rev. Mr Osborne for an address, This gentleman detailed some of the difficulties of Mission life in the lower quarters of London, and Mrs Osborne gave a like address. A choir composed of some of the mem- bers of Willis church choir and others from the Methodist churches, rendered several selections, Messrs Sibley and Holloway, and Mrs Marcey and Miss Sibley gave a quartette; Mr Sibley and daughter gave a duet, and Mrs R. Ransford sang a couple of old favorites. Refreshments were served during the evening. The proceedings were very interesting, and showed the sympathy and good will of the townspeople gen- erally towards Mr and Mrs Osborne. The proceeds were slightly over $60, which amount was handed to Mr Os- borne as a donation. Rev. Mr Stewart was the author of the affair, and is en- titled to credit therefor, although the ladies of all the congregations gave material assistance towards its success. Norms.—The rain that has falle during last week, isust what wa needed for farmers. "About now" be gin saving for Christmas presents Some boys forget that it is contrary t law to use firearms in town. Severa car loads of lambs have lately bee shipped from here to the Buffalo mai ket. Mr Thos. Johnston sustained severe sprain of the right ankle o Saturday, but is all right again. M A. M. Todd was cailed to Woodstoc on Tuesday, by the serious illness o his mother. Mr John Steep is suffer ing from a sprain& ankle. Sunday night's eclipse of the moon was "ou of sights" it began before she rose and ended behind the clouds. Thursday afternoon a young man passing Boyd bakery, gave another person a shove and sent him through a large pane o glass. An addition is being made to the Clinton Organ Factory. A beauti ful cat -owl was shot the other day by Mr Harry Reed; he has sent it away to get it mounted. Mr W. Smithson has sold about 150 step ladders this year. Mr Cadzow, who has several members of the family residing in Buffalo, thinks of moving thereto. Mr James Sheppard has made great improvements in the property lately occupied by Moore's tannery; all the old vats have been filled up and level- led off, and the fence and large trees removed. Efforts are being made to organize a total abstinence society, and thus keep in the ranks those who have lately espoused this cause. John Gorrell, a son of Mr A. Gorrell, met with a heavy loss in Manitoba a few days ago, having three stacks of wheat destroyed by fire. Mr J. W. Riter has re -purchased the liquor business lately conducted by him. The many friends here of Mrs A. E. Pridham, Goderich, (Miss Grace Robertson) will be exceed- ingly sorry to hear that her husband has been compelled to dispose of his business owing to ill -health, and that there are but slight prospects of his ul- timate recovery, his ailment being Bright's disease. Miss Mulloy,who has been visiting in London, has gone to Detriot to reside for the winter. The Home Circle has added a fine piano cased Clinton Organ to the equipment e4ge room. Mr J. E. Tom, In- spector, west Huron, paid a visit to Clinton Model School, on Tuesday. Miss Clara and Miss H. Mountcastle left on Wednesday,on a visit to their brother at Dundal. The excursion to Sarnia on the.L H & B, last August, conducted by the Sons of England Benevolent Society, of Exeter, was a profitable speculation, the G. T.R. hav- ing just forwarded the society $123 as its share of the proceeds. A minature winter set in on Tuesday, there being a fall of a couple inches of snow, but it has all since nearly disappeared.— Mr John Croll was called away last week to attend the funeral of his mo- ther, who died on Friday at Niagara, at the age of 84 years; her remains were interred in Hamilton cemetery. Mr Arthur Stoneham, who has been work- ing on the other side for several years, was on a visit to his parents here late- ly, and has taken a situation at Exeter. A social "hop" was held in the Town Hall, on Wednesday evening. Mr E. McKenzie, of Dubuque, lowa,nephew of Mr A. McKenzie, is here on his wed- ding tour.

Brownlee, who went to Montreal some time ago, in order to undergo an operation, has not yet been able to have itperformed, as his system is not'' strong enough to stand it. Mr Harri- son Wiltse has purchased a beautiful upright piano. There is not likely to be much change in municipal matters next January; it is generally cqnceded that the Mayor, Reeve and Deputy- eeve have all done their best in the interests of the town, and if they are � open for re-election, which we presume they are, there will not be any opposi- tion; the same may also be said of the members of the council. Messrs Ho- vey, Hinchle', McMurray and Black - all took part in a shooting match at Exeter, on Thanksgiving day.
