ARBITRATION.—The difference be-
tween a couple of well-known apple

,'ened to end in litigation, will be left to

now living in California, in acknow-

compliments a gentleman well known
to our readers :—"By -the -way, that

to see what he would do in our bright '
sky and clear atmosphere."

OMITTED.—In publishing Mr Robb's
report concerning the public school,
last week, we accidentally omitted a
paragraph referring to the work of an
excellent teacher, which read as fol-
lows :—"The teaching, order, manage-
ment and standing of Miss Helyar's
room are quite satisfactory." I con -
eider her work excellent, and know of
no stronger way of putting it than
that given in the above quotation.
Goon TEMPLARs.•—At the last meet-
ing of Clinton Lodge I.O.G.T. several
initiations took place. An invitation
to visit Kinburn Lodge, on the evening
of Jan, 31st, was accepted, and quite a
number went out that evening. The 1
election of officers resulted as follows
O.T., J.W. Moore; V.T., Mists S. Moore;
C., J. Patterson; R.S„ B:,' W, Ismael;
Fin. -Sec., G. W. Rodgers; 1' •eas., Miss
B. Porter; Marshall, W! Ratray; Guard,
„Miss A. Cottle; Sentinel, J. Cook; Or-

CEMETERY SUPERINTENDENT.—It is
intended to devote more time to the
_cemetery than has -been the cage iters-=
tofore, and the committee ask for ap-
plicants for the position of Cemetery
Superintendent. Whoever secures the
position will be required to devote ten
ours a day, for seven.months in the
year, to work in the cemetery; the
other five months he will not be re-
quired to be there, but trust de whlr,t-
IYer grave digging is required, and
May engage in some other occupation
if he so desires. Applications received
up to 6 o'clock to -night, Friday.
FIRE SALE.—Jackson Bros. have had
their loss by the late fire satisfactorily
adjusted by the Insurance Companies,
and elsewhere will be found an an-
nouncement of a. great sale commenc-
s
ng
fineson t of the Saturday;
the Wther stock is est, erand
• will, no doubt, cause a rush at the low
figures which they advertise. At a
similar sale in Seaforth some two
years ago, the sales run up to $1000
the first day, the rush being something
a5 unprecedented. People from all
parts of the county were present,
and on Saturday there will likely be
quitea rush of strangers.
THE HAY BUSINESS.—The business
of shipping hay to the old country and
elsewhere, which had assumed very
large proportions, ,and was becoming
an important industry, has become
paralyzed, so far as England is con-
cerned. The trouble is caused by the
eastern railway lines (not Canadian
ones) who have increased their freight
rates seven cents per hundred pounds,
and refuse to carry it at less. Of
coursk an increase of $1.40 a ton in
freightis sufficient to destroy the busi-
ness entirely, and shipments to the old
country have practically ceased. The
buyers affected here are Messrs Irwin,
Cudmore and Cook.
OLD PEOPLE AND OLD FRIENDS.—
Two of the oldest—if riot actually the
oldest—resMrs Shipleyertis, of the Huron of thie locality,
and Mrs Gibhings, sr., of town. Both
were living here before Clinton had
any existence, and have been continu-
ous residents ever since. The former
is 92 years of age, and the latter some-
what over 84. On Monday Mrs Ship.
ley was in town visiting her son, Mr
H. R. Walker, and during the day she
went over to visit Mrs Gibbings,whom
she had not seen for a considerable
time. The meeting of these two old
friends was deeply affecting, and they
remained for some time enjoying rem-
iniscences of the past. Both ladies
have fairly good health, and are in
possession of all their faculties, not-
withstanding their age.
A FAITHFUL REPRESENTATIVE. —
While in Gloderich last week we had
the pleasure of meeting an old and
highly esteemed friend, in the person
of Mr Chas. Girvin, of Nile, who, as a
spectator, was enjoying the county
council proceedings ,lust =is much as if
he was yetamember of th Itedmin istra
tive body, Mr Girvin retnarked that
he never felt in better health in his
life, and his Iooks gave color to the
statement. It is no wonder he felt in-
terested in the county conncil proceed-
ings for he entered publie life in 1847,
and for 30 years continuously was a
representative at the county council.

family of ten children, seven sons and
three daughters; one daughter at home,
another is married in the Northwest,
and the third is Mrs Ed. Lavis, of
Holmesville; Mr 'John W. Hill, of Clin-
ton, is one of her sons. She has been
a faithful .church member for nearly
forty years, originally as a member of
the Bible Christian denomination, and
since the union, of the Methodist
church. Her home was always open
to her friends, of whom•she had a very
la number, and her life, even in her
suffering, was an evidence of con-
scious faith in her redeemer.
Mr John McMillan, who has been a
highly respected resident of Colborne
for about forty years, died on Satur-
day, at the age of 81. He has been in
poor health for some time, and not
able to get about very well. He was
an adherent of thePresbyterian church; I
his wife and three children survive
him. He was the step -father of Mr D.
McCorvie, of Clinton.
Mrs Kelly, of town, whom it was
stated Last week had gone to Manitoba,
was detained owing to her illness,
which was much more serious than
anticipated. She was taken to the
home of Mr D. Stevenson, Hui'on
street, where every possible atten-
tion was given her, but without avail,
and on Tuesday she passed away, a
victim to quick consumption. She was
a zealous member of the Baptist
church, and her remains were interred
in Wingham, on Thursday. Mr
Kelly was in Wingham at the time of
her death, and desires to express his
great thankfulness to all here who ren-
dered her care and attention. She
leaves three children.

ately drowned at Ton•on,to,on Saturday,

at one time attended the Collegiate
here. She was a ,rr�oat estimable young
lady, being a daughter of Mr. JohnFor-
rest, of Stanley.
NOTES.—The' regular meeting of the
town council takes place on Monday
evening next; there is considerable
business to dispose of, the appoint-
ment of the various officers being part
of it. Oqq Saturday night _Mr..Jamts

home wit him a beautiful Williams
piano, purchased of Mr Geo. F. Emer-
son. Else. here is men tioned the death
