BIG LOAD OP BARRELS. -Two
undred apple barrels were brought
from Lucan in one load last week
for Mr. D. Cantelon. -It seems
e., impossible to secure all the barrels
in Huron required for the apple
shipments of 1892. And now loads
are being brought daily from the
same place. 1. car load of 400 from
Watford arrived at Londesboro on
Saturday, but the demand for mor
barrels seems as pressing as ever.
DISTRICT TEMPERANCE MEETING.
-Tho October mooting of District
Lodge No. 24 of the I. 0. G. T.
met in the Oddfellow's hall in
Clinton last friday. Considering
that Clinton is at the southern limit
of the District, there was a larga.
number of delegates, about 80 be-
ing present. The morping session
was taken up with opening exer-
cises end hearing reports from dele-
gates. There were 14 Iady repre-
sentatives. The reports showed an
increase of memberships which was
considered very favorable for the
summer months. The afternoon
session was a ver;' busy one. The
question of how to raise funds for
the District Lodge to carry on mis
sionary work the coming winter
was pretty thoroughly discussed.
It was decided to levy a tax on the
subordinate lodges. It is the in-
tention of the executive to put in
the field a number of lecturers and
workers to go through the District
doing temperance missionary work.
The delegates were very sorry to re-
ceive a telegram Baying the G. C. T.,
Bro. F. S. Spence, of Toronto,
could not be present. After
a good deal of discussion re-
lating to temperance work in goner-
... al the meeting was brought to a
•'diose to meet in Belgrave in January
n(I!xt. The thanks of the - lodge
we tendered the Clinton friends
fol tear kind hospitality. In the
everting a public entertainment was
given' in the town hall. The pro-
gramme consisted of vocal and in-
atrutnental music and an address by
ReV4 E. Hughes, of Wingham, on
the "Poor of old London," also a
;temperance address by the Rev. Mr.
Smyth, of Clinton. The weather
being all that could be desired, the
exercises from beginning to end
were most enjoyable.

"How To HELP OUR PASTOR,." -
At a meeting of the Young People'e
Society, held in Rattenbury Stree
Medthodist Church, Mr. R. Holme
gave an address on "How to help

teresting and instructive and was
given in Mr. Holmes' beet style.
A Slow RUNAWAY. -Au apology

owe of the berries were plump

think this Canada of oura such a
cold and frozen country would be
astonished to learn of second

October.
LITERARY DELEGATES. -Among
those at the District Templars meet-
ing on Friday, Mr. Bond Lawra-
son of Londesboro was one of the
representative men. Mr.. Scarlet
Williams, of Leeburn, was another.
Both of these are of literary tastes.
But Mr. Williams is also a speaker.
And though it •sounded odd in the
Convention to eee him shut his eyes
and remark that he was glad to "see
so many of the brothers present,"
there was good sense in what he
said, as well as humor, and socially
he was one of the lions and quite e
favorite among tho ladies.
BURNED To DEATH. -A deplor-
able event took place on the 4th
con. of Kinloss, near Langside post
office, on Saturday night week.
Tho family of Peter Unit, a farmer
who settled there about five years
ago, retired to rest as nsual and
awoke to find the house in flames.
Mr. Uzoll, whq is a brother•in-law
to Mrs. Uzell, Maple street,Clintou,
succeeded' in getting out of the
burning building, but unfortunate-
ly was so excited that he ran for
assistance. Mrs. Uzell found that
escape by the stairway was itnpos
Bible but succeeded in getting all
the childrennutom the roof of a
lean-to that adjoined the house
with the exception of a girl eleven
years of Age. Sad to say the pro.
gress of the flames was so rapid that
her retreat was out off and the
mother, who badly burned herself
in her heroic efforts to save her
children, was forced to listen to the
screams of her daughter as she
perished in the flames. A number
of neighbors soon arrived, but the
fire was so intense that it wraa im•
poesiblei"3 drag the body from
among the blazing timbers and
when the webers had cooled off all
that could be found of the remains
waa a few charred bones. The
family lost everything, escaping in
their night clothes.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT - ADVICE. -
THE NEWS -RECORD desires to sine
cereiy thank subscribers and others
who have Bo promptly settled their
accounts. But there are a consider-
able number who have asked for a
little time and others who have not
even acknowledged the receipt of
their accounts. This latter ctytss we
maust place in court, if we do not
soon hear from thein. -The present
partnership must be wou't1d up, and
if there are those who prefer going
to court, THE NEWS•RECORD
certainly will, though regretfully
promptly comply in that respect.
Again we say, these accounts must
be settled.
WELL WATER, -THE NFws•
RECORD has received numerous en-
quiries as to the quality of the well
water in Clinton. At this parti-
cular time the Board of Health
might do well to have samplesof
Clinton well water analysed and
determine the quality. It is quite
true bylaws regulate this and other
matters, but are they enforced 1
We are of those who believe that
more strict sanitary regulations
should be observed and trust this
gentle reminder will set them in
motion. The people of Clinton
should know whether they are
'drinking disaased or pure water,
and tho proper authorities should
make the test, and that without
delay.

Jell arrived from Pueblo, Colo.
with the remains of the late Arch
ibald Buchanan. The mention in
THE NEWS RECORD last week gave
the particulars of the accident about
as it occurred. There was not a
mark on the body of the deceased
and lie could hardly have been
crushed under the engine. There
was a deep cut on the left cheek,
but death was no doubt caused
from a severe stroke on the right
temple. The features 'were quite
natural and well preserved. The
deceased carried an insurance of
$1,500 in the locomotive brotlter-
•hood, in favor of his mother, which
will be forwarded on the return of
Mr. Jell, who is a native of
Clandeboye, south of here, and left
there for Pueblo on Monday. He
spoke of the deceased as a young
man of very high tnoral character,
and it must be a great satisfaction
to the distressed parents and family
to be assured of this. He was alike
at home and abroad. Peace to his
ashes.
