THAT beautiful 95 aci field of fall
wheat on the Ransford farm, is out in full
head, and promises to give a large yield,
;notwithstanding the 'fact that the wind of
Sunday went through it like a mower and
flattened down a considerable portion of it.
Miss 31. BATTERS, whom many of our
readers will remember as a former 'resi
dent of this town, bait now residing -at',
Mitchell, has recently fallen heir to con-
siderable property: There should be no
excuse for her renrraining'Miss any longer.'
On Sunday evening a tremendous hail
and rain storm broke over -this town. The
noise made by the hail was so great that
in one or two, churches service had to be.
temporarily suspended. Beyond the blow-
ing down of two or .three ;trees, we know
of no damage that was done.
ON THE Ransford . faint about three
hundred acres, from which a good deal of
timber and fire woodhad been taken, mak-

chased and turned in to stock it.

of Mrs. Farrah, was in town a couple of

Conservative candidate got in

A COUPLE of gentlemen returning from

man in town, got into so warm:a political
c',ontroversy that they were nearlyran into
by'a train at the crossing;'it was'only by

last minute,` that they escaped, 'and it was.
a hairbreadth 'escape from what would
assuredly have been instant death.

SAD 1)EArx.-the any ERA last weck
received information of the unexpected
death of the wife of Mr. David Sheppard;,
formerly of Goderich township, which
occured.near llirtle, N. W. 7 .on the 31st
of May, ,of peurperal fever, after :an •i11=:
niers of 9 days. Deceased ixas very much:
thought of, and was the,'youngest' daugh
ter or Mr; Jas. Clufl; now of Seafortli, for -
welly ofMcKillop, and was a sister of,,,,
,firs (ianley, of Clinton, Mfrs. Thos.
Beacons, firs Robe Millen', of (. T.,Mrs.'
11. Kerr, of Wingbann, and 31N. 1. Dc
pew, of Chatham.
1't t sotint =1.1r .Jas..l3earn returned
from Winnipeg last, week, , Mr. Harry,
Smith, of Goderich (brother of :lir. Jab.
Smith) also returned on Saturday; he' in
tends taking his family back with hint:
Mr. Wm. Taylor and wife left yesterday
en a visit to the old country,. going by
boat from Torontd to Quebec, and thence.
by Allan Line. Mrs. Edwards, of East
Saginaw, and her -mother, Mrs. Long, who
spent last summer in town, have again
taken up their quarters at the Rattenbury,
FIouse. Mr. Rowan, of Chicago, is the.
guest of Mr. G. 11. Wright. •
On Monday last Mr; 'Neil Fox left by..
G. W. R. for Nelsonville,: Manitoba, where
he takes charge of the Morntaineer news-
paper. Neil learnt his . business on the.
NE -NY ERA, and ,waswithout exception,:
the most obliging and willing "' boy" we
ever hacl in our employ. He is a young
man who] has hosts of' frie'ds in town,
having been one of the p ncipal male
singers in Willis ager Vn lis Church chain• and he will
be greately -missed.- We have rto hesita
tion in giving him an excellent recom-
mendation for , the possessinik of all the
essentials of good• citizenship, and believe
that he will not bd less useful, in the -vest.
than he has been here..:
NARnow ESCAPE. -On Thursday morn-
ing last a man in charge of a, stallion in
one of the hotel stables in town had a
slightly unpleasant encounter with the
i brute. While leading it out, it broke
away, from him, and did its best to bite
the man,.driving him into a corner in his
efforts. to avoid it. The .animal then
reared and struck him with its front foot,,
tearing the man's vest from top to •bottom,
but' just a . the moment the man caught
the halter and brought it under subjection.
Hoge • AGAIN.—Last week Messrs. R.
Anderson and Joseph Stephenson, of this
place; returned from the northwest. •The
former has taken upland convenient to:
Birtle, is favorablimpressed with the.
country, and expects to return in the fall,:
The latter thinks precious little of the.
country,. although be has secured land,
there, and has not definitely..made up his"
mind whether to golback or remain in On-
tario.. Being' asked when he left the
northwest; Joe naively remarked "he real-
ly did not know what day it was, for they
lost `:track of the days up there, and he
,could not tell exactly which'one it was,"
The siege he had when going up has cent
tainly told on his appearance.
A REGENT issue of the London Adver-
tiser 'contained. a table showing :the .de-
crease in population of several' towns and-
townehips_in•_.Ontaric;_on-account of the
exodus, which, in some particulars is in,
correct. We' have no doubt the totals
may be correct, but they have, credited•:
some places -with aloss, when no toss de -
marred, d
and and n other instances omittedto
show a loss when great -lasses took. place.
Clinton is shown to have declined several
hundred when it :fully held its own.
Towns hi this neighborhood . that lost
heavily. are *holly passed. over, as station-
ary. The fact alined at by the compiler
of the statistics • is no -doubt:certain, but
greater care should be taken to give the
rightfigures to the right place.
THE Wichita (Kansas) Eagle thus -re-
fers to to a;:former. .Clintonian :—" Mr..
Isaac Humblewho for a long time was.
connected with the delivery and nailing
departments of the Wichita Postoffice, but
who for the: past few months has been at
the.headof Mr. Harding's book and sta_
tionary .establishment; is going to leave us
He has been offered an- advantageous 'sit=
uation with a heavy Chicago: book and.
Wall paper. firm which he at once • in-.
tends to accept. We 'regret his loss to the
city, as he is a•most 'worthy and compe
tent .young man, In` integrity, honesty
and business tact excelled by: no young.
man in this city. Hewill honorably and
Successfully fill any station in life which
he may be induced to accept,; and as'.'rve.
said before we are sorry to lose him and
his example and influence." ;
•
°; t of the drawbacks every year to the..
proper- tivatering of the Streets, has been
.the scarcity of w ater., requiring it to be
drawn such a long distance,. thereby
,creasing the. :cost of-.: the ;work, and to
some;, extent. rendering .it of nen-effect:
To•pernnanently overcome thi& defect, and
also.toincrease the facilities in case office,
it has - been suggested:that- the council
•place a steam pump in Fair's Mill, and
lay -pipes therefrom to .4 tank .to be con-
structed.
orn
structed.on the market, thereby ensuring•
a constant supply :of water at a central
.point.• Of:course .to do this would cost
considerable,_;but the work. `work -would he. per-
-
manent and undoubtedly beineficial, . and
the projectis :at least worthy of consider-
ation.,.. :We°believe that.it` will come up
before the council at its•next'meeting.

week since, Mi. Jas. Gallagher formerly

arrival tit Clinton he was too weak to, pro

at -the -house of a friend' in town, and call-
ed in the services of a physician. Anex-
amination quickly showed that . he, was•
suffering from,,empyema, an, `affection of
the lungs, and arrangements, made ,for
•him to undergo an operation.. On Friday
last his strength a11o}r'ed the operation to
be performed, which. consisted • in remov-

the:. patient: rapidly ,rallied-: and, we' -are
pleased to say:is in-afair way of ultimate
recovery. .
