A GREAT OFFER.—Our offer, THE NEws-RECORD to January, 1805 for $1.50, has suet with a generous re- sponse and new subscribers are being added daily. Thinking people know what a bargain is, and consequently the double circulation of THE NEWS - RECORD is jumping up. We give better value than any other paper in the County of Heron. And we are ready to give you the proof. Town Topics. MR. E. "N. Lawts, of Goderich, is ,in town this week. Mo. W. J. GREENWOOD, of Mitchell, was in Clinton last Monday. I. 0. F. DELEGATE.—Mr. F. W.

The estimates were reduced $200, leaving them as last year, $3,100. Account of Robert Downs, $2.85, for repairs, was passed. Board then adjourned. NECESSARY ENTERPRISE. —Reynold is a pretty summer resort. The place is as. well •a health•iuvigorating section in which to spend the whole or even a portion of the summer months. Ttie scenery—and .we know something of what can be seeu in Canada and the United States—is not surpassed for quietness or beauty. The roads leading to the village from all directious are among the hest in the Dominion. Some of last week's bicycle races at Goderich were stipulated in the pro- gramme to be run to Bayfield anti re- turn, and of course this must mean that the roads are of the best Every summer a very great number of rural, village, town and city health, rest and sport seeking visitors from various parts of the Dominion and the United States seek Bayfield, on the brink of Lake Huron, to satisfy their wants. The many who have come there sura mer after summer return season after season. In fact the summer visitors have increased in number to such an extent that several wealthy citizens of Detroit, so report says, have purchased lots in Hayfield and intend next spring to erect summer cottages on them. And the Bayfield people, we are told, hope this is but a pointer as to what is corning. This may be all quite true. What is required is an active and determined effort on the part of the business then and citizeua of that village and neighborhood to accomplish anything. A magnificeut summer hotel should be established or erected in Bayfield. If there are not men there with enough rneanaand pluck to go on with the work, outside capitalists should be interviewed and the grand oppor- tunities of the situation explained to then. Some one will surely bare enterprise enough to take hold of a paying investment. Recently we combined business with pleasure and spent on a lake trip a short time at the now far famed and well advertised Macinac. Business places, eummer residences, immense hotels and places of pleasure have been erected and all these ,are liberally patronized. They all pay and pay well. And Has field has a thousand and one advantages over what this and other summer resorts originally had. Bay field, in addition to accomodation for summer visitors, requires a harbor,. Once the Governuent can be shown that the trade is there and can be had, we; fancy there would not be much trouble in securing a harbor Suitable for general commerce and the landing of passengers. If the authorities of Barfield and other progressive Citis zens will have members of the Govern, went and members of Parliament per- sonally know the superior advantages of the locality, a harbor for Bayfield might be an accomplished fact. Go to work, Erect a good summer hotel. Advertise the attractive features of Bayfield as a eummor resort. The crowd will come in time. And a far- Icor will assuredly follow when euffieient trade can be shown. Then mail and passengers and freight by water to Bayfield will be an accomplished fact. It deOende almost entirely on the peo- ple of Bayfield what the future of the village will bo ata a summer resort. Miss LILY JOHNSTON, is holidaying ..with her schoolmate, Miss Irwin, at Belgrave. THE MISSES McCoustAC, of Stanley, were ticketed to St. Cloud, Minn., 'last week by Mr. W. Jackaon. Si3RvEYon FARNCOMB is this week sttrveyiug the Ransford property bought by Mr.. W. Bowden. Wo understand - several lots have 'already been sold. AT P[tesToc.—Mie. S. H. Ranee and Miss Ranco are at Preston. The young lady has been afflicted, with rheumatics and the hope is general that the Preston Springs will afford re- lief and final restoration. CAMPING.—The family of. Mr. F, Macpherson and other citizens are camping on the lake shore. They have spent an enjoyable two weeks and will remain for a couple of weeks longer. Mr. Macpherson epent Sunday with them. His son, who broke one of his arms recently, is recovering nicely. THE HORSE MARKET.—In a fow days Messrs. J. B. Weir and John Avery . leave this place with a car load of choice horses for Manitoba. Among them are a. number of pedigreed brood mares that will no doubt realize paying prices. Leet year Mr. Weir sold a car load to advantage in the same market fend we have every reason to' believe that both will meet with good success thio time. • CLINTON ANNEXING THE SUBURBS. -- Mr. it 13awden is now engaged iu hav- ing ;the Itausford block adjoining the town surveyed by Mr. Farncomb, of Londou, and while doiug so is selling and Surveying lots to suit purchasers. On Monday he sold 31 quarter sore lots, prioes ranging as high as $300 per acre. In addition to this Mr. A rt}ir Couch recently purchased 70 acre";S of the property. Among those who have purchased are Messrs. James Smith, Jennie Steep, Richard Irwin and Thos. Holloway. We are inform• ed that a good number of rosideuses will be erected in the near future.

RECORD that Frank Shepherd, formerly in the tailoring business here, is, like himself, doing welt in Shelbourne. He returns this week. A WORKSHOP ON WHEELS.—Mr. E Taylor, practical cutler and grinder, has been here a week or more, and is giving the best of satisfaction...! His workshop is on wheels, and no mean •!lair. Those who have patronized him spark in the highest terms of the class of work he tutus out. r LACROSSE MATd1.—At Lucknow, on Theredayafternoon, the Clinton Junior latintless Lacrosse Club and the uoltnow ,propehote played a friendly Me Well resulted in 2 to 0 in favor of the Dropshots. The gaine lasted about three hours with ono bear and a half straight playing. Although tho ground was not the toty best the day was • all that dould be wished for. Quite a number di•8tlinirera of the national game were vont and enjoyed a well contested metol!;: It is understood tho return ganye w91 be played in the near fut!ltt+b. • GARDEN PAIITV.—An excellent op• portuuity is offered the people of Clin- ton to spend a very enjoyable evening in the country. The Women's Auxili- ary of St. James' church,Goderich town• ship, will hold a garden party on the lawn of Mr. John Middleton. The date has been set for next Tuesday evening. As citizens are aware, the drive is buts few minutes and a delight, ful one. There will be plenty of stabl- ing accommodation. Refreshments will be served from 5 to 8 p. m. The Clinton brass handl will furnish choice music f, r the occasion. A splendid programme of recitation++, solos, &c., will be rendered. The admission is so low and the object so worthy that all should go. NOT AS IS ONTARIO. --The editor of a Missouri paper who chanced to see the sun rise one morning recently says that "the sky was sutfused with a deli: tato but gorgeous pink illumination, as though invisible hands had hung a gigantic portiere over the orieut through whose tl'enslucent meshes the sunlight sifted." That editor evidently was not familiar with sunrises. •::T; ,., .. ..... �:.-14; -. CLINTON COLLEGIATE lNSTI- TUTE. At this time of the year Students de- 10rottsof preparing for examinations for Tenc'he1S Certificates or for University Matriculation are trying to decide in- telligently regirrding the School they should attend in order to secure success at the least possible expense of time and money. We would particularly draw attention to the excellent record made ivy the Clinton Institute at the :Departmental. and University Exam- inations for the p,.reent year, the re- sults of which have just been published. Altogether forty-five students of the school wrote at these examinations, as follows : Primary junior Leaving Senior Leaving Junior Matriculation. Partial Matriculation.

The barn on the Ross farm, now owned by Mr. Little, was consumed by the a few gays ago. 1 -low the fire originated is. a mystery ; it was fully insured. Mr. John Malone has completed a large barn with stone stabling under- neath, and Mr. James Smith has a handsome frame house in course of erection. - Uuplettsant and disagreeable stories aI'e mougoingnd ound concerning a school teacher ere, who it is said owns a • farm in one of the townships to the south of this, and whose name has been mentioned as a prol,able candi- date in the Grit interests at the coating provincial elections. If half of what is said is true he is a ruffian of the deepest dye. His guilt or innocence will he established in the near future. H. J. Story and Alex. Ross took in 1he•excussion to Niagara last Saturday. NEW PosToerlcE. Monday morning the new postoffice in Brussels was thrown open! to the public who are not slow in expressing their pleasure at the con- venience, comfort, end general appear- ance of the new structure. The build, ing is a 2 story brick, 22x40 feet, the 1st story being 12 feet high and the 2nd 10 feet. The downstairs is all finished ,in ash and looks tip top. 'rhe first 16 feet of the building is devoted to the use of the public giving them atuple acoomrpd' dation. 300 new letter boxes have been put in and with the 79 lock boxes will supply the needs of the people of this locality. The boxes are arranged atter the shape of an expanded V. the wicket being in the centre. At the North side is a door with folding counter which will be used for registered matter, postotlice orders, &o. The general delivery boxes have been relegated to obscurity and every family, or nearly so,will have anew box which will add to the convenience of both Postmaster and patrons. The new building is airy; well lighted and conveniently arranged for the Post. master and his assistant, A. W. Ross, who have 14x22 feet of space for assort- ing tables, safe, &o.c, Mr. Farrow has saved neither labor nbr expense in per- fecting the arrangements and we feel safe iu saying 13rnssels postofce is one of the finest in Western 'Ontario. The stone work in the foundation was the handiwork of James Kelly ; D. Lowry did the brickwook and plastering? Wat. Ain, ley put on the gravel roof; Robert Anne strong had the wood work and all fittings to attend to; and W. Roddick's staff wielded the brush. No part of the work was slighted and the buildiug is a credit to all who had to do with its erec• tion and completion. An inside porch has been arranged to be utilized in the winter. A glass partition will likely run from the letter boxes to the ceiling. Mr. Farrow has had a few shelves and a counter arranged in the front office and will open a news stand and stationery counter. The upstairs is finished as' one room and has a nice balcony at the front door. CoscrnT,—The concert given by Mist+ H. M. Sibley and Miss E. H. Combe last Tuesday night, was first class in every respect. Tito excellence of the programme merited a much larger patronage than way received. Mist Sibley, who is well known here, proved herself to be a very talented and highly accomplished young lady. Iler selections were good and well received, :hiss Combe, as a pianist, leaves little to be desired and in ap parently a mistress of the art. Be- sides the advertised programme . the audience received an extra treat in the singing of Miss Ida Walker, a graduate of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, who sang two solos in particularly good style, being encored both times. The stage was very prettily decorated. Total 45 31 That the School is in a flourishing condition may at once he inferred from a comparison of these figures with those of 1802; 1JiJ46� L. Primary Junior Leaving 11 Senior Leaving 0 Junior Matriculation1 Sen for Matriculation1 or 14 successful students compared with 34 of this year. Last year on ac- count of sickiress and frequent changes in the staff the School was not in a posi- tion to do itself justice but this year there have been no changes and no sickness to interfere with work t con- sequently a steady, faithful year's work has been done With very satisfactory results. The staff of teachers is the sante for the coming year as for that just closed . except that Miss ALtcE O CONNOR has been appointed to suc- ceed Miss Hume. Miss O'CoNNOR comes well recommended and thor- oughly trained. The school is likely, therefore, to hold its good position at the examinations of next year and to fill its place of usefulness as well as ever. Classes will be organized for third, second and first class certificate work and for pass and honor matricu- lation. We need only add that the Board having made many internal im- provements last year, have this year given their attention to the improve- ment and beautifying of the grounds. They will spare no effort to make the Institute hold a place in the front rank. WROTE PASSED. 6 6 0 1 1 35 ',Cadbury.- LAWN .Cadbury,L.1WN "sewn Social given at Mr. E.

Y. Egan the hernia specialist of Toronto, who has been in business in that city with a continuous practcal experience of upwards of 20 years. He rarely travels, his services being he constttre demand there, but, at present his health from close confinement, cal for a change, and so this trip The evidence furnished this office' bears very strong testimony from parents, patients and many well known physi- cians as -to his success (which appears phenomenal) in the treatment of hernia in old and young. The testimony presents one noticeable fea- ture, distinguishing it from many other's, viz.: the name and address of every patient and physician presented are those only of our own people. This speaks volumes for this gentleman, whose business success is not confined to this country, he having a world wide reputation in this department of mechanical surgery. Our readers who may be afflicted, severe cases especial- ly, now have an opportunity seldom presented of obtatinin a truthful knowledge on a scientific basis of their condition, and this advice will cost you nothing. He promises a cer- tainty of relief in every case, with a possible cure in nearly all. A cordial invitation is extendedtoour physicians. They are promised something unique in trusses, adapted to all cases and embracing improvements, which render them simply indispensable. He will have a full line of instruments, and thus be enabled to meet every case. Sutna►Crhill. Mr. Benj. Grainger and family took in the bicyme races at, Goderich on the 17th inst.

It might have been crossing the shadow of the Orange flags pole which upset the gentleman or per, chance our swift and sure orange goat might have caused the accident. We hope the gentleman is none the worse and that he did not shake the dust off his garments as a testimony against us. Chisclhtttrst.

In regard to the Ex- positor's exaggerated statement about discontent with the Grand Master at Exeter on the 12th that paper is far from the truth. The statement, "We don't want him," was made to Mayor Essery, of London, by a man hailing from Parkhill who is not an Orange- man. He did not even wear a badge of the Orange Order.
