The vote on Constable was a tie,
and was decided by lot at the Council meeting last  night in  faver of
Jas. L. Welch.'   The    attempt _ on
the part of a local politician to make
the issue of   the- election  a party
question, was still  born,   and lived
only as a.memory of the length to
which one man in Clare   will allow •
his partisan prejudice to lead him.

sented to deliver a lecture in the congregational Course, in Clare, on Friday ev'ng, April 2.- Prof. Thomas is
a very able man and without doubt
his lecture will be well worth going
to hear. His subject will be announced next week.
On Tuesday evening the 23 instant,
the Congregational choir will give a
concert in the church. Much pains
has been taken in the preparation of
this entertainment and'we hope tliat
the public will show their appreelk
tion by attending in large numbers.
An admission fee of 15 cents each will
be charged both old and young. The
excellence of former concerts given
by the choir and the low price of admission ought to insure a large audience,
