T., was held on the evening of Thursday, 15th inst. The;hall tvaecrowded with members and friends. The meeting opened in the usual way; after which a lengthy programme wee gone through, consisting ofsougs, readings, duetsaud instrumentals, by members of court assisted by friends; also club swinging ba Mr Ttinis,wh'ich is worthy of special mention. A. recess was given for social conversation and a number of names solicited for membership to be proposed at next meeting. The Lodge, although but young, has made wonderful pro- gress and numbers nearly 150. The best of harmony prevails and a lively iutereet is manifiested for the cause. OUR9ANADIAN COUNTRY.—Mr. John McMill n, M. P., in concluding a series of eight lettere to the Expositor, on his Canadian Northwest travels, says :—"I think the capabilities of the great Northwest are not fully brought out by the system of farming followed. There is too much land under crop and the soil is not sufficiently cultivated. Wherever summer fallowing is follow- ed, the crops seem to do the best, but there is often two and three crops rained with plowing once, then buru ing the stubble and harrowing. I would say to all who are in comfortable ircumstances in Ontario, remain where ou are ; but to young men who intend o follbw farming, or to any one with family of boys, the Northwest offers dvantages for getting land that cannot be got in tjie older portions of Ontario. n going west, be careful to get into a good locality, and above all things see that there is a good supply of water easy of access." Town Topics.—Or country topics, for that matter. We waut news, and we want all the news. Of course it is not possible to be in forty different places at the same hour, or minute. Our mission is a public one and we want to make known to the world what intrests you if it is a matter of news. Our mission is not to create strife or to get "even" with the "other fellow." Tell us about the election of officers in "the inne'r circle" or theaociety doings; that is a matter of news. Or let us know the names of the visitors at your house the other day. Or tell us about your friend who » is ill. Or if itis a birth, death or marriage at your house, it will coat you nothing to tell us of the occurence. Our time is limited. We are always busy . But we are never too busy to ask you to take a chair and talk about business, church, or local affairs,or the affairs of State. Call and see us. The latch string is always on the out- side and the door wide open if you lift the latch. These words apply to the church workers, the mechanic, the laborer, the politician --.to all classes of people. Come and see us. News, reliable news, is what we are after and bound to give, nothing more and noth- ing less. MARK HIM.—Look o for the' mis• erable fraud who for petty, nunicipal politics attempts to. aseaeinate private character And the newspaper that will allow a masked scoundrel to in- sinuate what he dare not avowedly as- sert is the biggest scoundrel of the two. OUR DEFENDERS. --Saturday's Can- ada Gazette contained the . following: 33rd Huron Battalion—No. 6 company Exeter—Second Lieut.

Youa GUNS.—The shooting season in Ontario closed Thursday for all kinds, sorts and conditions of'game, and as "Yaukee rabbits" are now met amorphosed into "woodland hares" by our game laws, there will be no excuse from this time forward for being found in the woods with a gun. So, clean and oilthem up, and put them away until the let of next September en- ables them once more to be brought in- to use. SHOT A PORCUPINE. -Last Thursday Bert Hovey and Jos. Rider were out shooting, and a mile or so down the London Road, on farm of Thos. Moore, spied a porcupine. The animal was up a hemlock tree. Guns were int, readiness and brought into active re- quisition. Mr: Rider exhausted all the shell and shot in bis possession, but failed in forcibly inducing the animal to bite the dust. Mr. Hovey then turned in and took a band. After eleven shots bad been discharged the porcupine came to the ground. The animal has been on view at Couch & Ford's butcher shop since last Thurs. day. It is about the size of a low set dog, has a mastiff breast and powerful shoulders, with scanty hindquarters. Its back, particularly, is full of quills. In color, black, pointed nose and four long, sharp teeth, to match in lower and upper jaws. The animal is rather a rarity in this section, and one that might make it !both interesting and troublesome for a man without the neces- sary warfare protection. ate Nif 'r'oPli:4. /Aimee *0 Owoor LECE+.►M.B.E 4 2, 1,a ` Own Topl4s,. gni.

It is of the. class that will not conflict with an other hete. And it is of the class that should pay tho manufacturer who is fortunate enough to locate in Clinton. Mr. R. Irwin's action in• Phis matter should meet with sincere commenda- tion and the united approval and sup port of our people. If other citizens would display the same interest as has been shown in this particular instance we have no fear but that the centrally located town of Clinton will in a few years become the industrial and distri- buting point „for Ontario West. In hese Columns for several months we tt'ave repeatedly referred to the several weans of forging the town ahead.' Mr. Irwin is doing the work of a Board of Trade. All honor to him for it. He 4would.bo a good man just at this time to see what could be done towards forming such a board. Ciintor. can support such an institution. There is plenty of work for it and the right stamp of men, such as Mr. Irwin, can accomplish good. THE NEWS -RECORD has talked for some weeks about the dairying interests, but our people and and our public men and country friends seem inactive while thousands nud thousands of dollars are uuder their !eyes and within their grasp. Surely it is not possible that no action is taken because a little labor would be entailed. Or is it because they have not the courage of their convictions. In our address a few weeks ago we laid down a platform' of activity on this line. The man who seeks publics honors should be progressive. Our people desire to forge ahead. We are doing well, but the town can do better. The other day a publio meeting was held in Mitchell for the purpose of furthering the interests of dairying and cheese' making: Members of Parlia- ment and prominent men in the bus;. nese gave testitnony and showed cou- elusively what a great advantage, finan• cially, must accrue to the farmers and town of Mitchell. There is room in Clinton for a canning factory. Freits of various kinds are grown in this sec• tion in abundance and such an institu- tion with a reasonable amount of capi- tal should pay here. A company. in Strathroy put out this year no lees than 318,000 cansof preserved fruit, valued at $24,000. Clinton might just as well be in the s.vim of progression, for the market for this class of goods is almost inexhaustible. The furniture indurtry is still another that there is an opening for in Clinton. The raw ma- terial is in abundance and close at hand. A company for the manufacture of furniture has just been formed at Aylmer with a capital of $20,000. And thus the advancement of towns less fovored than Clinton goes on at a rapld,pace. Put your shoulders to the wheel,' people of Clinton. Another important industry which THE -News- RECORD has many times called atten- tion to ie a pork " packing factory. Those who read Hon. John Carling's letter in last week's issue will bo aware of the fact that Canadian hams com- mand a much higher -price than any other in Britain. The market is limit - leas. Pork is bought in Clinton and shipped away to factories to go through the curing process and months after finde a sale Where it was produced and firetaold. Does thie mode of doingbusi- nees not strike the citizene,businese and publo men of Clinton as being redicu- l.ous4 We think it should. Hon. J. C. Patterson, M. P. for Weet Huron, we think, would favor industries of thin kind and do all he could to estab- lish such or anything else for the bene- fit of the community and the whole people. Our town's publio mon should be the first to move and show that they are interested in the town's W:elfate. The men chosen for 1893 should be pledged to work on theee linea. To our mind, one of the most important duties of a publio man is to forge the town ahead to long as the investment is pretty aura to be a pay- ing aying one for the massed and the town. I82 DRAUGHT HORSE MEN. -A meeting of the council of the Dominion Draught Horse Breeders' Society was held at the Rattenbury House, Clinton, on Tuesday last, President John McMillan,•M. P., in the chair. A considerable amount of routine busi- iiness was transacted, and matters dis- cussed in preparation for the annual meeting of the Seciety which will be held in Clinton on Wednesday next, 21st inst. The reports show a falling off in the business tt•ansacted during the year, owing to the prevailing dullness in horse breeding and selling, but the society remains in a sound financial condition and has about 350 entries for its third volume, and a bat ance in the bank of over $1600. - The present regulations of the U. S. Treas. ury Department do not recognize for free entry at the customs any Canadian horse registers, requiring that the an- imale be entered in the American Stud book tb secure free entry. The Do- minion Society however does not re- cognize free customs entry as the prime object of registration,and will continue to do business at the old stand and en- courage farmers and breeders to breed systematically and preserve an official record of their animals. --Star.

On (notion financial statements were ordered to be printed. MoTaggart and Kennedy moved and seconded and council agreed to grant a sum not exceeding $20 to help defray. expenses for the dissemination of litera- ture on the House of Refuge question. INDUSTRIES. ' Mr. Richard Irwin addressed the Council on the matter of establiahing 'more industries in Clinton, of the class that would not conflict with those al- ready located here. Ile had written a firm or company with $50,000 capital, that purposed locating in some town in Ontario for the manufacture of steel windmills, iron pumps, wooden tanks, &e. Clinton was well adapted and such an industry would no doubt suc- ceed well here. He asked the Council to consider the matter as to what action would be beet to take. Kennedy -I understand the com- pany desire ar. expression from various towns and that they will likely locate where the greatest inducement is offer- ed. Andrews was of the opinion that it was a little late In the season to take definite action, as the new Council would:not be bound by the actions of the present council. However, he was willing to do what he could to have new industries locate here. Plummer thought we should do the work for the new Council and make next year's work easier for them. Doan would • like to have the com- pany or a representative come here and, hold a conference. McKenzie was of the opinion that the manager should be asked to come here so that we might aacertain some- thing definite. • Armstrong thought we should in- vestigate with all puesible haste and if there was anything in it well and good. Haas AND TILERE.-Mr. W. Govenlock, of Seaforth, was .visitor to town on •Mon- day: -Mr. R. Manning, of Toronto Univer- sr,y, visited his brother Wilbur the other.' day. -Mr. Chas.

Mr. Lwin was instructed by Council and consented to farther correspond. Council then adjourned. [Co5Tf,at`TB0.I Dram —in (Pint on, Dec- 9th, 1892, Katie, only and ueh loved deug hoer of Fred. W. and Laving Watts, aged 8 years, 4 months. After a short illness and intense suf- fering dear little Katie is at rest. She was loved by all who knew her and almost idolized • by the family, but Death spared not -though loved ever so much. Disease soon did its work and her spirit went to God who gave it. She bore her sufferings with the great- est patience, and gave many a sweet, comforting smile to those around her little cot. The parents have the heart- felt smypathy of their many friends in their terrible bereavement. The funer- al, which took place on Monday, 12th, was attended by a large number of sorrowing friends. The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Fairlie, who spoke most feelingly from the text "My beloved is gone down .into his garden to gather lilies." She Is gone but not forever, She is only gone before; We shall meet our little darling On that peaceful happy chore. Though we weep in bitter sorrow, Though our hearts are crushed with pain, We have lost her for the present, But our lode to hea4en'e gain. She le resting now with Jesus, Free from earth and all Its care; So we'll wait and bear the burden Till we loin her over there. , McKillop Dec. 17th, 1802.
