Institute.
COOL : BURGESS had not a very large
audience on Friday, and the entertain-
ment was not considered up to the mark
by those present.
B. A late issue of the Edinburgh'Scots
man, we notice that Dr. 3: Campbell, of
Seaforth, passed' his examination for the
Royal College of Physicians.
IT Is reported that one of' Seaforth's
business' .men has departed without bid"-
ding
id=ding :his friends good-bye.4 The papers
contained no mention of the affair, 'how-
ever. '
Mn. S. I)Avls has added another branch
to his business, having engaged the ser-
vices of

will carryon this in connection, with his
other business. '

FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—A' ease came
up__attthe'aseiies at Goderich, this week,
in which the "Parties concerned were from
this place.. It will be remembered that
sometime, ago' C. Rouse was tried here on a
charge- of 'Stealing a horse belonging'; to
Mr. Jas. Kerr. Ile brought -an, action
against the latter for false imprisonment,
the case being tried on Tuesday, getting
judgment for $250 damages and all costs.
PERSONAL.—Mr. Alex. Johnston, Ex-
Mayor of Strathroy; and senior partner in'
the banking firm of Johnston, Tisdall
Gale, spent a; few' days here this week,
visiting,Mr. J. P. Tisdall. Mr. Johnston
is one of those men who has made himself
in this Canada of ours. Twenty-five years
ago he commenced the struggle of life al-
most unaided
l-mostunaided and without a friend. There
are a good many -people throughout •:the
n member the young f
west; who can re y arm-
er's son who made a start in Strathroy as
a financier. By dint of perseverance he
rose step by step until he has become one
of our moneyed kings, and is said to be'
worth half a million or dollars. °A good
many who prophesied failure once are
now frequently under the necessity of
seeking his aid and advice. Thus time,.
vindicates honest purpose and 'determina-•
tion, Mr. Johnston is' noW the head of a
bank with branches, at Strathroy, Elora,
Aniherstburgand here, alldoing a good
business. Mr. Johnston is'a man of
anode stature, being` six foot five and a longerthan the old, and got up pretty
half inches high', and weighing about;275 muck like the American card. Mr. Con

GRAND CONCERT. -- The Philarmeni
Society intend giving a grand concert in
the town hall, on the evening of the 24t
of May, and are trying. to secure -the. ser
vices' of that well-known and ''popul'
niusicien, Miss; Reidy,. for the occasion
The Society'has been under -"training fo
some time.for „the entertainment,' and th
prospects are that the concert will be on
of the best ever given here. Further par
ticulars will be given in a future issue.
ON:TUESDAY Mr. E. Holmes returns
from the northwest, being among the pas
sengers who left Winnipeg • by: the las
train., that has been •able to leave the cit
since. Large portions of the country be
tween Winnipegand St. Vineentare un
derwater, and the trip, was a -pretty risk.
one, as the'track in some places was no
visible, and it was a matter of•trustipg to
good hick • entirely. 'At St. Vincent the
train was -abandoned altogether, some•0
the passengers having to. make their ;wa
as best they could to a- point a .mile o
•two distant, while the•bal_ance of the
were conveyed by boat.
•AccrDENT.-=A lady. in- town met with
a somewhat singular: accident a fee day
since... A •`person had . been vaccinating
her children; and still held.in ''their hand
a needle with .which•;the operation had
been.pe"rformed,- when. thd,lady . in ques-
tion was' accidentally struck on 'the
knuckle with. the point of the needle,
'which • inflicted'• a slight 'wound, Soon,
however,, the hand a d•arm began" to swell
n
up, incapacitating her for the discharge
of her housel�.oldduties, and it. was not
until after a week .of -suffering, that the
arm became well again.
LAST WEEN -we had` a .call from Mr:
John McKellar,' formerly of Morris, but
for the past eight years a resident of the
northwest. • While he likes that country
very well, and.. says he could not be in-
duced to came back to Ontario to farm,
he is willing to. admit that there are' a
,number of drawbacks which it will take a
long time to overcome, .among which are
the scarcity of building material and fire -
Wood, and very few `schools • or• churches.
He does not dislike the `winters ; but is of
.-opibionit'hat;they will never have thesocial
advantages -they have, in :Ontario; owing
to farms 'being : so large, and:settlement
consequently sparse. Being asked how
`;much • land' the family held - there, he
naively remarked', "well; I really. don't
know how many acres -we •own, until I
reckon up." Imagine an Ontario farmer
finding it necessary to." reckon up" how
many acres he owned.
REFERRING to;thelaying of a :founda
tion stone for a new Primitive Methodist
Chapel, at Borrowby, Eng recently, the •
North • Allerton Times thus defers to .a
lady'. well known , here, (mother of the
Messrs. Jackson) at present;residing- with
her. daughter in Winghamt "The total
cost will • be upwards .of £150, :towards
which' the widow of the late Thomas
Jackson "has contributed largely. Mr.
Jackson .was a, native Of Borrowby,. and
the new" chapel stands opposite to . the
house_in which he. was, born and reared:
Some years ago he 'delis- hillside; home,'
and emigrated' to America, in' which
country he' died;`' The inhabitantsof Bor
rowby have. to :thank `his widow for the.
commencement .of this new chapel,. she
considering that the.: best 'memorial she
could -assist in erecting in her late" hus-
band's native town,was a place of worship."
•BRIEFS:—A,snow storm was the varia-.
tion to which the: people of this neighbor-
hood were subject;,on Thursday. ' Garden
produce that is above ground, is not mak-
ing much headway. The united influence
of all the ministers in town would be in-
sufficient, at times, to ` cope with the
Satanic attributes•. of some of the- town
boys.. We must repeat our caution to
lacrosse, players—cease playing catch. on
the main street; we don't wish to see bnsibusi-
ness meh have their windows -broken,! as
"was the case last year:, A. couple' of chil-
dren•have died in town from scarlet ca let, fever,
Messrs. C676-Gett`-SfB ices raised the frame
oftheir new factory last veek,•and it will
soon be ready -for occupation. Mr. Jas.
Fair intends putting in a stave knife in
connection:._with:;his _:mill.::-_ _An. auction.
sale on•Saturday-at'ternoon, has come to
be `quite common,- Fair's grist. mill is
running again, but, only by the nee of the
saw mill engine, the boiler of the other
not yet being repaired.., Farmers are busy
seeding; the weather is favorable therefor,
but.cold, An enormous amount of politi-
cal
' literature is daily distributed through'
the mails. A $1:0"biii s-fouud--lust-in--
side the front door of a grocery on •Mot-
daymorning; it: had been lost on Satur-
day night.' Messrs. Robson and Young
expect to take .part in the Battallion Rifle
match, at Seaforth, : on Monday; Parties
burning rubbish should be careful about
leaving large fires burning after 'night ;
one. was burning'in •town Monday night,
that a very 'sligh't breeze. would,,have
started. into a destructive. fire. 'Houses`
are fearful ,hard to get; a`gentleman'wish
ing to rent one last week, spent two days
-hunting; and then could` only . get- one
half -a -mile from the business part of the
town:• . Any person. who has money to
invest should go"• ,inti; -;the erection of
houses. We
hope eth townspeople p e o nspeople will
practically remernber that .Thursday next
is Arbor Day ; last year over twelve hun-
dred trees, were planted; let there be a,
ropportionate number • this. Mr. • W,
Jackson had taken down thepartition in •
his store • which formerly divided • the
ladies and. gent's, departments, and has.
thrown the whole into one, which gives
him a much nicer store inside. One of
Clinton's most confirmed bachelors offi
elates , as groomsman; at "a• wedding -at
Seaforth, to -d
Se ay ; we hope"the .time',
will come,:even•yet, when he will"go one
better." The new Canadian. Post card
