It is the tyranny of custom or public opinion, me boy, and the variability of the climate that causes the poor editor to sport such articles ; not a matter of choice or being able to afford it.

The motion car ried. Messrs Cooper and Searle re• plied. The latter incidentally re• marked that it was members of the Council who did the least who were returned by acclamation, which caus- ed Mayor Doherty, Reeve Manning, deputy Reeve Kennedy and others returned by acclamation to look as though they thought this was afunny phase of the proverbial ingratitude of the people. Council adjourned.

WILLIAM TIRLADY was hitch- ing up a young horse a few days ago when the animal reared up and fell over ag,rinst him, throwing him on a ladder and partly falling on him, bruising his side severely. It was though at first that some of Mr. Tiplady's ribs were broken, but we understand that this is not the case, though he had to be helped ou with his clothes next day and the injured parte feel quite sore yet. Co1.LIsioN.—Tuesday a horse and buggy, containing Mr. Butts, his wife and two children, were being driven along the street at the same time as a hock of sheep. The appearance of the sheep caused the horse to swerve to one side and the buggy came vio- lently into collision with the tele- graph pole atDickson's old corner. One ;abaft and the harness were broken and the horse scampered off at a lively pace without the vehicle, but was soon captured without doing any further harm. Beyond the injury to harness and buggy and a nervous shock to the occupants of the rig no other damage. CLINTON COUNCIL Fon 1891.— Will consist of Mayor W. Doherty, Reeve A. H.

Our pupils are too young for the work they are attempt• ing. Classes have to be moved to higher rooms and re -arranged, but this must not be regarded as a pro- motion. The best thing for the school is to hold classes at work they have been over for six months, or a year. This will give them a thorough drill on back work and when pupils are older they can proceed more quickly with advanc- ed work, because of their better knowledge of work already gone over. This announcement is made because so many parents are object- ing to the promotion of their chil- dren. Let it be understood that very few promotions are made 'at present. Any parents who prefer to supply theirchildren with elates instead of scribblers are at liberty to do so. If parents -will kindly consult teachere, from time to time, regarding the progress of their chil- dren, it will aid teachers very much in their word, as many children neglect home work.

S.—The New Year's reception in the Ontario St. Methodist church by the young people was as well attended as the sloppy state of the walking and the pouring down rain would allow. Coffee and cake were dispensed with touutiful liberality garnished with lady -like :courtesy, without money and without price. The evening programme of music and readings was carried out by the choir, the quartette club, Mr. Sibley, Miss Miller, Mr. 1V, Harland Mr. Fos- ter, the Misses I3oles, the Messrs. Manning, Scott and4Rev W. Craig B. D. The chair was filled by Rev. Mr. Edge, Mayor Doherty unavoid- ably being unable to take that posi- tion rof honor.
