Miss Nettie Bicknell* in the Pratt
district,.jJwd Miss Mertie Presley, at
Hatton, on Friday last closed successful terms of school. Both taught
this spring for the first time, and
both made good records as teachers.
And now some people are finding
fault because the village didn't vote
to raise S7,000 instead of $5,000. for
water works. The Press believes
that, economically expended, $5,000
will be ample to cover all needed expenses.
Ladies waiting for trains at the

The Wallaceburg, (Ont.) Herald
has the following item of Clare news:
Last Tuesday, 16th inst., Mr. D. P.
McDonald left here and paid a visit
to Port Huron, and from thence to
Clare, Michigan; there he secured a
marshal of good muscle, and with the
ability to use it, and the two proceeded away back into the bush about
five miles, where they had reason to
believe John Dusten was rusticating,
Mr. McDonald wishing to interview
the said John on an important matter. Sure enough they found John in
all his glory gee-hawing with a span
of horses and a plough among pine
stumps. D. P. was just selfish enough
to want to capture those horses for an
old debt of John's long since due,
amounting to about $200. He did
capture them, too, and took them to
,Clare, and would have brought them
back here had not some of John's
friends done the handsome and released them by giving good security
for the payment of the debt. D. P.
says that his success is largely due to
the efficiency of the officers of the law
at Clare; as they assisted him in every
possible way. He says, too, that
Glare'is-a pretty little, busiiness-like
town, and that he met several old
friends there,reeeiving a hearty hand
shake from all but John; still he
wishes even.him success.

Cassie Slattery a teit-yeftr*old"boy
was arrested yesterday on complaint
of John West, the Prosecuting Attorney after investigation; having ordered a warrant to issue. The youngster was charged with assault and
battery upon two little girls younger
than himself. His father defended
Iiim before a jury in Justice Al ward's
court and a verdict of "not guiltv"
was rendered.
Mrs. Jacob Hepfinger gave birth
on Friday last to a girl baby, healthy
and vigorous, and perfect in every
way save that there were" five fingers
on either hand. One of lhe extra
fingers w*as of natural size and as
well formed as any finger is at birth,
but the other was.an abnormal growth
from the base of the little finger. Dr.
Carpenter removed the unnecessary
At the council meeting last night a
sidewalk wTas ordered built on the
west side of Beach street from
First street on the south side to Fifth
street at the school bonse. The expense of this is estimated at a couple
hundred dollars but an iexamination
of the books show that there will be
but a little over half that amount in
the treasury after paying expenses
already incurred. President Boekafellow and Trustee Goodman opposed
this sidewalk measure strenuously
the former speaking earnestly
against its passage, characterizing it
as uncalled for extravagance, and
threatening to resign his position as
President if the. council proposed to
scatter the public funds with so much
Unconcern. Already some of the
Trustees are talking about an $800
or $1,000 tax this year and this administration is less than four months
old.   On the other hand it is urged,

At a former meeting Isaiah.Feighner was chosen General Superintendent. An adjournment was taken
until July 25th, when the premium
list will be arranged and judges selected. It is earnestly desired that
that meeting will be largely attended,
not only'by the gentlemen, but by
the ladies also. The co-operation of
all persons interested is essential to
the success of the fair, and we feel
confident that if the people do their
part the officers will do theirs, ancf
the fair of 1885 will be the best ever
held by the society.
