Holmes keeping the floor un- til everything had been given and spelled, the little story and all. It will take more than a few awkward words to get the better of our mem- bers. No'Ea.—Ins ector J. E.

RrrxawAY.—Whatmight have prov- ed a very disastrous affair in the shape of a runaway took place in Clinton on Friday last. As Miss D. A. Holmes and her cousin were driving down Rattenbury St., near the high school, one of the hold backs of the harness broke, and allowed the cutter to follow up on the horse, which soon became unmanageable, and leaving the occu- pants in the ditch, proceeded down yron St. toward the Commercial hotel, when it succeeded in getting away from the cutter. No serious consequences resulted more than a broken cutter: Sonora, REPORT. --The following is the standing of the pupils in the school here for the month of January, based on conduct, punctuality and efficiency in general. -5th class—Maud Dempsey, Nelson Trewartha, Ira Pickard.

ANNUAL BALL.—Mr Bell's annual hall was held in his hall here, on Fri- day evening, the 19th Jan.

Miss Sarah Forrest, who was drowned last Saturday when going from Toronto to the Island, was at one time teacher of . one of our schools. She was a young lady of stirling worth and a noble Christian.

AN OLD LANDMARK.—An old land- mark on the 7th concession has disap- peared from view. The old log school house,which has stood for about thirty years, has been torn down and' re- moved, to be used for fuel. Many of the young men and women of that lo- cality will perhaps heave a sigh of re- gret, to seethe_ place where they re- ceived their limited education, vacant, and thoughts of the many youthful escapades and other adventures of those times, will doubtless crowd upon their minds. Varna SOCIETIES.—A very large and en- thusiastic meeting of the different so- cieties who have met in the temper- ance hall, and.those in sympathy with the trustees, in the temperance hall difficulty, was held here' on Saturday evening last; .the meeting was opened and Mr John Torrance was appointed chairman, andJas.. Armstrong Secyq. All wore unanimous in , censuring ,Mr. Ward for the very extraordinary and unjust attempt to deprive the temper- ance and other societies of their. hall, which they built and occupied uninter- ruptedly for over 80 years,• by nailing _. up the window and door; lint all were determined and unanimous in pushing! the thing through it was -then move seconded and Carried uunniniotisly that this ineeting .advise: the different so-• cieties,that occupt:the .ball to enter ail.. action for nl aages, against..
