THE Expositor's insinuation that a lewd
woman_ arrested at -Mitchell, for frying to
shoot a young. man, might; be from Olin" -
ton, is indignantly repelled. Clinton does
not harbor such characters, and .is;a model
town for virtue.

ket there, few buyers being, present, he`

Model School of this place assembled in
theyard, when they were put .through
some. of the 'simplest evolutions' in drill

are: always glad to note progress' in our
educational establishments, .therefore, we
bid the teachers good speed .in this their'.
latest sign of keeping abreast of the times.
ILLUMINATION.—On Saturday evening
the merchants' of the Victoria Block,
Messrs.W. and T.'Jackson, and J. Twitch -
el], took the public by surprise by illumi-
nating the wholeof their premises, liter-
ally from top to bottom. The stores "were
handsomely set off, while balls of fire glar
ed from every point of the "iron cresting
on top; fire balls were thrown about pro-
miscuously, and colored lights burnt from
the dome. The effect was' simply grand,
and was witnessed;by a very large number
of persons,

HALF A CENTURY. — There :are not
many who can Make the' boast of having
lived half -a century of unbroken married
life, and, beside the person Mentioned in

town who can make this 'boast."' On Sat-
urday next Mr. Thomas Cooper, sr., and
wife will celebrate their50th (or;golden)
wedding anniversary. Their union has
been blessed with six children—three sons•
and three daughters, ,and'fthey have, for,-
tunately, never been called upon' to pay
one cent for funeral .;expenses, all their
children being alive and well.: As ,they
both enjoy good health, and are. "coin
paratively young" 'they bid fair to enjoy;
life together for'inany years yet. . ,

dence to the contrary, they were, restored
to her.

the shoulder, and his skull crushed, caus-
ing instant death. As he fell between the.
cars, he exclaimed "My God, I'm gone,"
his mate seeing hini'fal1 but being unable
to render ..any assistance. The remains.
were brought here, and afterwards taken
to Goderich for 'interment, his •wife and
several children residing there. :He had

MODEL SCHOOL INSPECTION —G. W.
Ross,,, Esq., Inspectorpf Model Schools,,
is expected to visit the schoslin this place
on the 27th inst., and will be present • all
day. . The •forenoon will be occupied in
actual teaching by the teachers in train-
ing, and the afternoon in examihing them.
on any part of the Model Scliool•work,.
previously considered, with such hints re
ggarding management, teaching, lectures,
dsc.,
as may be, considered necessary. A
cordial invitation is. extended to all friends.
of education to attend during the after-
noon...
Miisx 'BE STOPPED. -It. is: more, than
time that:tho.authorities put a,stop to. the
gambling operations that are carried on
in this town by. soap 'pedlers and others,,
every time there is a. crowd here. ,While
we are. glad to see that: the swindle . is,
working its' gown cure, to some degree,
as greenies.. were very hard to catch
laste.think•the authorities'
should'exercise their authority and stop -
the gamblers.altogether: It is said in de-
fencethat no magistrate in town will re
ceive an.inforniation against them, but''.of
the truth of this we'.. know not. As the
thing,is clearly gambling in its 'worst form
it should be stopped, the..neputatron of.
Clinton is suffering by its permissive con
tinuance.
.ENTER>TAINMENT.—The :entertainment
given on Tuesday evening, by Mr. W. H.
Meeke, of London, under the auspices of
the Clinton Mechanics' Institute, was;very
good in every'ppart. "The creed of the
bells": was excellent: Nothing could be'
superior' to Mr. Meeke's rendering of the
bell tones in this much -recited piece:-
", Mark Antony's 'oration has evidently.
`been` well "studied. There was none of
that .mouthing and ranting so 'much ad;'
mired by people "capable of nothing but
inexplicable dumb shows and noise, "'but
a true'- conception ofthe meaning of the
character expressed -by a faultlessvoice
and correct intonation; ` Brother, Wat-
kins'farewell" sdl'mon," Josiah Alien's
wife at Dover town," " Wimmin's Rites,",
all given in character,, were admirable.
Mr. 'Meeke's ''perfect control of face and
voice''increases. the laughter -producing'
power..of these. recitations. The audience'
was small ---but then. it always is.smaid;.
When, the shadow of the Mechanics' Insti-'
tate , falls', on the town hall. What's -the'
matter.?.
.SERIOUS i rAwA�:=OITI`rida.
