DR. WILD'S LECTURE.—The attention
of our readers is directed to the proposed
lecture, by Rev. Dr. Wild, of.Toronto, on
"The visit of the prophet Jeremiah to old
Ireland," which will be delivered in the

lowing persons from Seaforth left by the
same route :—Messrs. A. G. McDougall,J.

NEW BOOK .:STo ,n.—Mr. J. Williams
will open a `book and 'fancy gods
store here, in the Smith block, in a few
.days. A short time ago Clinton had only
one book store, when the nese one gets
.going, there will be four. Whether, there
is business enough to support all these is
a question, but we suppose the matter will
resolve itself into a case of "survival: of
the fittest." •
INCORR:ECT.--We-are lsuthorized to cor
rect the statement in last' w'eek's Record
to -the effect -that Mr. D.- Cantelon had
been appointed town agent of the G.W.R.
No, such appointment has been made, "nor
were there any -definite grounds for the
• :statement.` This is -;the second time the.
)Record--has-blundered..in_this_connection,
.andgreatercare should be exercised 'by
'sr.. ( "our cotemporary in 'announcing matters.
