MIINICIPAL NOMINATIONS. — The ccuncil has wisely reversed its former action concerning the time for hold- ing municipal nominations, and they will therefore be held on the evening of will , Dec. 30th, commencing at 7.30. • .This will give all ratepayers an opportunity of attending, and if any of them wash to air their views, no doubt they will have the privilege of so doing. CORRECTION.—The Expositor says:— "Dr. Campbell wishes us to state that the rumor cdrrent that he has disposed of his practice here and intends remov- ing to Brooklyn, New York, is incor- rect." As the NEw ERA published the rumor, it also publishes the correction; we presume the rumor originated oyer negotations said to have taken place, but notcompleted. GENEROUS.—Mr Geo. Hoare will pro- vide all the Sunday School scholars of town, male and female, with a stick of s,candy each, on Christmas morning, provided they meet at the town hall, and the distribution is made under the supervision of the Mayor. He has bought over 1,000 sticks of candy for the purpose, and the ('distribution will take place at 9 30 o'clock. EARLY CLOSING, — On Saturday, Jan. 4th, the early closing movement will be inaugurated, and it remains to be&seen how faithfully the merchants and people will adhere to it. We be- lieve the merchants are all anxious to fulfil their agreement to the letter, and if our citizens will only assist them by doing their shopping before 8.30 on Saturday evenings, the early closing movement will be a decided success. A' CLOS CALL.—The other evening while Mr Oliver Johnston was out driving with a friend, they had a close call. A couple of young fellows were rapidly driving in an opposite direc- tion, when the shaft of their rig caught the belly -band of Mr Johnston's rig, and tore his harness, turning the other rig clean around; had the shaft not caught juot when it did, it would pro- bably have struck Mr Johnston's friend, with serious results. ELECTRIC BELLS—The CollegiatelIn- stutite, through the kindness of Prin- cipal Houston, is now fitted with a system of electric bells. There is one in each room, all on one circuit, and they are rung by a clock for each les- son; therefore, punctuality is reduced to a science. Mr Houston pays for the bells and batteries and the board fur- nished the clock. The work was done under the supervision of Science Mes- ter McLean. In the clock the connec- tions, (which is a nice piece of mechan- ical work) was done by P. W. Crewe. The bells were furnished and prat -in by 0, F. Emerson. DESPICABLE MEANNESS.—On Tues- day a man from the country brought a load of hay to the market, which was weighed, as it invariably is, with the driver on the load; when the sleigh came back to get weighed, after the hay had been delivered, the driver was still on the sleigh, but his actions aroused the suspicions of the weigh - master, who, closely watching him, saw that the fellow was doing his best to avoid being weighed with his sleigh, and had he succeeded would have de- frauded the purchaser of the hay out of about one hundred pounds. Mr Welsh threatened to lock the than up for an attempt to defraud, but finally let him go after a severe reprimand. TOWN COIINCIL,The council met on Monday evening, as per statute. Messrs R. Irwin and A. T.Cooper ap- peared as a delegation on behalfofthe early -closing movement, and asked that the town bell be ru ng at 9 o'clock on Saturday evening during the month i of January, in order that the business men would have a uniform time for closing; Mn Welsh, bell -Finger, kindly consented to attend to.. it. The folloty- ing accounts were passed:—J. Ken- nelly, pound, $12; Toronto Rubber Co., hose and couplings, $61.34; R. Welsh, sundries, 95c; G, Davis & Son and J. Beattie, $4 each and A. Turnbull $8 f for teams to convey County Council- I lora to House of Refuge; J. Wheatley, t meals for tramps, $1.65; G. Pickett, a work, 50c. The council decided to hold 5 the nominations in the evening, in- c stead of in the morning as formerly. fl The street committee were instructed e to procure a snow plow for use of the t citizens when needed. Councillor Gil- roy made a vigorous appeal to have all o the streets, as far as practical, made t absolutely safe during the icy weather, c the prudence of which was conceded, w though the legal responsibility of the s town was defended. Mrs Aitken and F Johneroll appealled to have dog tax re- r milted; the matter was even over to T the Court of Revision, t hich decided i to inivestigate before act on was taken. J. The annual financial - tatement was 0 presented; it showed tb receipts from P ltit of Jan. to 15th ec 1895, exclusive t of balance on hand, be $18815.44, D while the expends were $12338,53; g the.elerk'was au y -,ed to et the ectal number of c i>t printcdi d WOMEN SPEND Just now they are spending lots of them for holi- day goods of all kinds.
