MR. C. COATES; now with Messrs. Do-
herty & Gibbings,-nest week resumes his
former situation with Mr. S. Davis. He
is a good and efficient salesman.
IT IS reported that Mr.al,. Owens, for-
merly of Morris, who went west several
years ago, has sold his farm in Manitoba
for $30,000, and purposes returning to
Huron to reside.

tions and townships.
SOLD OUT.—We understand that Mr.
Wm. Bingham, formerly of this place, but
who recently moved to Richmond, Mich.,
has sold out his farm there, and purposes
removing to the northwest. Mr.Bingham
had better move back to Clinton;: *'here
• he could end his days in; peace and 'Com-.
fort, for he is too old to undertake the
hardships incident to life in the far west.
CnECKEES.—Mr._ Wiley concludedhis
checker tournament at Seaforth on Mon --
day night. He played about 150 games,.
losing but one with Mr. H. Cameron, and
about 18 draws. Mr. Bonet' Campbell
played three .games with him on Monday,
two of which he lost, and the third,,. last-
ing two "hours, was a draw in favor -of Mr.
Campbell.
FLATTENED Our.—The other day an.
agent for one of the many town sites (on:
paper) in Manitoba . was talking of his
town, in the Rattenbury bar -room, when
one standing by remarked' -"why there
isn't a house in the town or within twenty
miles of it." The agent did not dispute
the assertion nor did he further expatiate
upon the merits of his_town.
STILI'. ANOTHER. — Mr.Wm. White,,
who has been a resident ,of this place JO
about 8 years, leaves in a few 'days for
Winnipeg, where he has ".accepted the
position of manager of the :hardware -'es-
tablishment of Stevens & Wells at a good
salary. The firmwill find Will "A:No. 1
in all respects, being thoroughly posted in
his business,and one in whom_ they can
place the utmost confidence.
BITTEN. -On Thursday" a dog was acci-
dentally left by its owner in the store of
111r. J. Cuninghaine, artd wishing to get
• out, it jumped into the large show window
and was about to go through ` one ,. of, the
panes of glass when Mr. Cuninghame
caught it, to prevent it, but instead of
grabbing it by,the-.nape of .the neck, he
took hold lower down, when the :brute:
turned and severely bit him twice on the
hand.
ACCIDENT.—Last'w eek Mr. E. Hull Met
with an ugly accident: Mr.Emerson,buteli-
er, was driving a cow down the rbad,. but
the brute persisted in running away, when
Mr. Hull came to his assistance and tried
to stop it by catching the rope attached to
it. The cow ran at him..,withfloWeyed
horns, lifted hili into the ai "- as if. hehad
been a small boy, nncLin 1Sis descent -he fell
directly across,thi cow's back, and then
to the,ground, when the furious animal
tried" to hook him. His injuries, though".
not serious, are exceedingly painful;. and
have laid hint up for several days..

ist ;
organ-ist; in the M. E. Church choir there iS not
one; in the Congregational there areonly
two, and in Zion there are f®ur. There
are a great many strangers in the city, and

to get a place to stay. Potatoes are' $;2 a
bushel ; 10 small loaves of bread for $];

ASSOCIATED THEREWITH. -Last week.
the papers contained an account ofa fear-
ful blizzard in : Manitoba,by which 'a
woman "named`
Taylor, and three grown-up

ber of years ago Mr's. Taylor's father was 'a
well-to-do farmer a short distance north
of Toronto, and,;had in his employ a young
man named Stavely, who is none ' other
than Mr. JamesStayely, so long a resi-
dent of Clinton, and who is said to have
regarded the -daughter with feelings other
than those of friendship 'which However
were not reciprocated. When the daugh

of land, which, through, some mismanage

above noted.

Wise. • A party of five who .left; here for
Winnipeg "a coulil-c of weeks since, were
srprised to find that boarding•liouses had
been provided for all them by a friend in
that city, who had read .in the,* -ENV
of their intended departure. -Mr. John

Iris wife and family wil] reside until. he

Madame Georgen, elocutionist,: was here
last week, m
trying to make arrangeents
for' her to'return ;to this town, but : there.
hadbeen too many entertainments of late.
to allow of the idea being entertained for
the present,-at,least. A heavy snow storm
set in oil Sunday,• and continued part 'of,
Monday, making sleighing a bare possibi
lity;'as•a"result thereof considerable pro
duce, wood, saw -logs, etc., was hurried.
in, but "the sleighing.has• all gone again.
Robins are chirruping, crows cawing,'
and other overheadindications declare the
approach of spring; but cold nights and
saow.on the ground rather weaken one's
faith in these'" spring -indicators." Door:
and corner signs appear to be all the rage
here; 'Craibn .IvIacwhirter & Co's and
Moore & Sharrnan's being the latest ad-.
ditions. Aman, standing "on" the.,market
on Saturday had his face badly cut 'by a
"chunk of falling ice." A chimney .on .fire,
in •a" small house, on Monday,: set some
woodwork on fire, and threatened the de-
strnction. of the. house, but the neighbors
soon put it out. `' Wood has been in good,
demand' on 'the market" of" late, ,' :,Messrs,
Pay & Wiseman this Week received a car

inertial Rotel, prior to his departure to
