A GREENwAy correspondent says ;- Mrs. Bella Little. who has been visiting friends and relatives in Canton and Bayfield during the past two weeks, returned to this place on Sunday last. ANOTHER FIGHT PROBABLY ON DECK. -The old hen that scratches up copy for Huron's smut mill got hurt the other day for publishing something nasty about one of the citizens of the circular town.-Gorrie Viedette. THERE was no particular inclination on the part cf citizens generally to observe the snow by-law during the past week. While the great majority of citizens are lax in thls respect, Mr. James Fair's slow plow makes up for many. ST PAUL'S CHURCH. -It has been officially announced that Rev. Mr. Fairlie has resigned the pastorate of St. Paul's Church and that His Lord- shp, the Bishop of Huron, has appoint- ed the Rev. J. F. Parke, of Listowel, to the Clinton Rectory, whose duties will date from February llth. We under- stand Rev. Mr. Fairlie has been appointed to the Listowel charge. • A NEW TITLE. -The other day one of the daily papers conferred the title of Doctor on Apple King Cantelon. The explanation las not yet been forth- coming as,to whether the new append- age is of Medical or Divinity lineage, but people generally incline to the )atter belief. Just why we do not 'know. The new title is probably a typographical error. SOUTH HURON REFORM ASSOCIATION.- -The actual meeting of the Reform Association of South Huron as con- stituted for Dominion purposes was held at Brucefleld last Friday. Mr. A. Mustard, Brucefield, was elected Presi- dent ; James Snell, Londesboro, Vice - President ; Thomas Fraser, Brucefield, Secretary ; Mr. George Walker, Tucker - smith, Treasurer. John McMillian, M. P., afterwards addressed the meeting, as did also M. Y. McLean, M. 1'. A JUST CONCLUSION. -The Gorrie Vidette says: -"The editor of THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD has been pre- sented with a cigar (from Mr. J. T. Harland) about the size of a cordwood stick. He must he a big smoker." 'We take it for granted that our cotein. means the big 'cigar was a "big smok- er." The conclusion of course is a rea- sonable•one. But just how "he" mean a "big cigar" is a conundrum Mr. Har- land must settle with the esteemed Vidette. THE annual meeting of Huron Dis- trict Council, Royal Templars of Tem- perance, will be held in the Methodist church, in the villiage of Holmesville, on Tuesday, February 5th, 1805, com- mencing at 10.30 o'clock a. in.

He at one time attended school here and graduated from Trinity University in 1887. and practiced in Washington Territory un- til about a year ago, when ill.health forced him to give up a lucrative prac- tice. He came home, and abort two 4 months ago left for Denver in the hope that the climate would prove beneficial. The interment took place at Fingal. Town Topics. FINGER F,ROSEN.-After .the great six -days blizard and snow storm Mr. D. Cantelon gcit down to manual labor on Monday morning and spent some time in digging a pathway to the main thoroughfare. On his hands were a pair of mitts. The only crooked por- tion of the Apple King's make up is a crooked finger, the result of an accid- ent some years ago. This finger refus- ed of course to keep company with the other three, worked .a hole in the cov- ering and was exposed to "Jack Frost." No• notice was taken of this particular member until that peculiar stingin sensation had set in. The finer had been frozen and thawed out anis now being carefully cared for. VISITORS. -Mr. and Mrs. Bray, frorn Wellesley, N. W. T., were last week on a visit to Mr. Peter Cantelon, Rat- tenbury street. Mr. Bray formerly resided in Mitchell.

The following is the annual report submitted to the Clinton Council, by the Health Inspector :-I beg leave to present my annual report as health officer for the town of Clinton for the year '04. In April notices were sent by me, through the Inspector, to every' Householder in the town (a copy of which I enclose) and in almost evdry case the suggestions and orders have been complied with, with the happy result that the only contagious disease during the whole year were six(6) cases of Typhoid Fever (with not a single death) two of these being imported. Almost all of the cases occurred on the same street where the houses are not sufficiently ventilated from the foudations and cellars, and built upon made soil. In these localities Typhoid Fever is bound to arise if a more effici- ent system of cellars and yards is not adopted. Retrogression of Typhoid is an index of the improved sanitary con- dition of the town, we have every reason to congratulate ourselves. WATER CLOSETS. -Our Water Closet System is the worst enemy we have to contend with. 1 would recommend that the council pass a by-law enforc- ing the use.o.f the_ Dry Earth System. Several of our citizens obtained plans from me, as advised in the circular, and have introduced them with the very best results. The additional cost to the present ones being only a trifle. WATER. -Our well water cannot be pronounced first class even yet, al- thouh a vast improveanent is notice- able 'from the previous year, chiefly owing to the better condition of yards and closets. MILK. -The milk supply of the town is first-class. I have had an expert thoroughly inspect the herds and dairies of Messrs. Weir and Tyndal, and he reports to me entire freedom from tuberculosis or any other infec- tious disease. I would recommend that the council procure a quantity of tuber- culin for the purpose of speedily test img cases suspected of tuberculosis. 1cE.-I have examined one sample of ice from one firm, and found it pure. I would advise all supply firms having a sample tested. I have the honor to be your obedient servant, J. W. SHAW. THE LOVERS OF Srowr.--Last Fri- day evening some twenty or thirty young people of town thought they would take in the carnival at Seaforth. Some turned hack after going a anile and a half, others with more ambition managed to go three miles, hut after some gymnastic exercises in the shape of double somer-saults, some alighting on their feet and others on their heads, t they were forced to return. The following lines are from the pen of Di. McGillicuddy :- Marsh end his girls agreed to go, Regardless of the depth of snow, A Arize at the rink gain nd to assist him a hee took his Cawas bound ne. He was so intent to make a mark Be thought it essential to take a Clark But providence ordeined it so And they Muck fast In a drift of snow.

It is not an uncommon thing fur people to fall dead from such a cause, and we think the boys who frightened hien should be punished for the mean trick. Robt. Sample, of Brussels, has a living curiosity in the shape of a cat, which is over 21 years of age. --old enough to vote. Apparently she has prospects of seeing a few more sum- mers yet.

The managers had engaged the orchestra hand, hence excellent music pervaded the hall before the rising of the curtain, and between the numbers throughout the evening. The opening was an assembly of the club fantasti- cally arrayed with Mr. E. Campaigne, dressed as Grimaldi of old,"singing an original song. the chorus being taken by the assembled athletes. The end of the chorus was We are the G. A. (1., and its effective vocalization on the occasion made such an impressionrthat it is now sung or hut -rimed by everyone you meet. During the evening the members, under the direction of their instructor, Mr. R. W. Logan, exhibited the various branches of the gymnastic course, some of which were exceeding- ly taking while all were well done. The applause that followed the differ- ent• figures must have been pleasing to the club and particularly so to Mr. Logan, fur although the members have been painstaking throughout the terra, their excellence has been chiefly attained through having such an effici- ent instructor. During the evening Mr. Cainpa.igne followed the atheletes, and his attempts and actual imitations raised considerable merriment., in fart Ed. would not be out of place on the leadingNew York pantomime stage. In adition to atheletic scenes, there was excellent music and dancing, the Misses McLaren, in Spanish and Highland costumes, giving in charm- ing manner the- prettiest dances. Miss Strachan sting a vet y pretty solo most effectively, and was heartily applauded. Miss Acheson's violin solo, "Wilhelm. Tell" receiv- ed immense applause, it recogni- tion it deservedly merited, as this young lady's playing is of ati order rarely found outside of the great cities of the world. Miss Ora •Wilkinson, who only recently returned from her musical studies, contributed a solo and a most pleasing contribution it was, as in many points her renditions seemed to approach the well-known songstress of her fancily, Mrs. Brayley. Mr. Ed.. Campaigne sang several songs and many verses, all of which were well received, the applause being tumultu- ous. His ditty on recent Municipal affairs was most original and taking, and proved that we have in our midst a mimic of considerable ability. Dur- ing parts of the performance Masters Belcher and Smith were the attendant sprites of Mr. Campaigne, and their clear feats added not a little to the evenings enjoyment. In closing this notice we use the words of as well- known citizen : "it was the best local entertainment I ever witnessed." The grand jury at the criminal assizes at Tomtit° on Saturday week brought in a true hill in the case of (Tara Ford, the mulatto tai loress, charged with the murder of young Frank Westwood on the night of Oct. 8 last.
