maker, of this place, took five first prizes
at as many exhibitions this season..
MR. AND MRS. PRIcE,•of Bothwell (the
latter a sister of Mrs. W. Doherty) were
here this Week on their wedding tour.
SOME PosT/.s.-For the past seven
months an average of four thousand postal
cards a month have been disposed of at the
Clinton post office. This will give some
idea of how general -the' use of postals"
has become.
SUCCEEDING. -Mr. E, Dinsley, of town,
has: four sons residing in differentpartsof,
the United States. " Two of them occupy
positions as station agents at two import -
apt pointy on one of the Western railways,
a third fills a subordinate position thereon,
and the fourth is a traveller for a ,`Chicago
house. Financially, all are said to be do-
ing exceedingly 'well. '
WATCHMAN. -Now- that the weather is
becoming cooler and fires needed: making
risksgreater, would it not be wisdom to
have a night watchman ? and if the Coun-
cil do not feel inclined" to employ one,
'would it not be better for the business
community ;to"subscribe sufficient to em-
ploy one during the winter months, when
the danger is greatest ?
THE PRICE oF':GRAIN.-The high prices
being paid for grain in Seaforth'this sea-
-son-are-drawwing, farmers--to-this_riarket_
with their produce who formerly went to,
other towns. -Expositor. ( Market quo-
tations in the same issue ;-Seaforth, fall
wheat, 90 to 94; Clinton, 88 to 98. The
public can draw their • own inference when'
there is a difference of 4 cents a; bushel in
favor of Clinton
Diav7ry-WIrhIPEG; lnformat-ion. tti s
received .here last week., by Mrs. Buggy
that her son George a youth of: about• -1`7
years of age,,, had died in Winnipeg, o4.

received here of the death, .front the same -
cause, of the -eldest daughter. of;•Mr.,W..
Cooke, butcher; It is reported that .a
number of Clintonianslare down:nith the
disease, but we hope the reportmay turn
out unfounded...''
DISCOUNT ON TAxES.-The NEW •Elth
has long contended that those whopay
their taxes early are entitled to seine con
sideration in the way of a rebate, over
those who pay them later in • the' season,
and although. the matter ;was brought up
at a recent 'meeting of edunell no action
Was taken. Now at Seaferth parties. who
. pay- their taaes`during.tl e present month
will receive a discount of two per .cent.
Will any One give us a good• 'reason why
this should not sae done here?
• Oraaa-TON LITERARY SOCIETY. -In the
Clinton Hone'of. Commons, on ;Thursday
evening, after; a number of enquiries had:
ben. answered by the government, the
ale ate on the Egyptian question was re-
sna r. l by Mc Scott. on behalf of the go-,
xeramerrt• Messrs. 1'.eeiley and Hagar-

CARS, -An average of about fifty cars a
Week are being shipped from here with
freight of one sort and;another. A good
many more could be used but they can-
not be got. Some: shippers have had to
wait about a month before they- could be
accommodated; and there, has been con-
siderable grumbling in consequence, but,
thanks to the determination of Mr. Patti-
son, the difficulty is being! gradually over-
come, The shipments are likely to be'.
pretty heavy for some time,
RE -ENGAGED. --We intended last week
to refer to the re-engagement of Mr. Con-
nolly, as assistant head master; of the
Clinton Model School, but, inadvertently
omitted to do so: We commend the school's
board for' their unanimous action in the
matter, --believing; that they- have shown,
wisdom in retaining his services, together
with the other teachers." Although.only
a comparatively short time connected
with the school, he has shown that he
possesses the true` elements of success in a
teacher; has the' interests of those under
his guidance at heart, and has proved an
efficient, thorough, and painstaking teach-
er, and we have not the slightest •doubt,
but that he_w.ilbnore than fulfil all ex-
pectations oT
x-pectationsof him. It is scarcely'neces-
sary for ps to say anything in.reference to
the ofher teachers. The fact'that they
were all re-engaged,rsome at a slight ad-
vance shows that their services are appre
'ciated. ,
OLD COINS. -Mr. E. E. Keefer has in
his possesion one of the most valuable col-
lections of old copper coins; that is pos-
sessed by any private individual' here-
abouts, at 'any rate. The collection em-
braces about two hundred varieties, and
some of them look as if they were issued
in the - year one, when Adam was a
little boy. A number of them:are in
a good' state of:preservation and date back.
some . hundreds of years, while others
must be considerably older. Some " are,.
simply: flattened pieces of copper, without'
shape, on which have been stamped. char-
acters that cannot be read at this day, and.
the, mind .is'carried back in _imagination,
to the barbaric ages when they passed
current.", They were formerly in the pos-
session of Mr, Keefer's.father, and we
think he is safe .in challenging any person
to produce `a like number of old coins.
He has also a collection of_ silver coins;
that embrace some very old`English;Ame
rican and Mexican pieces.
LITERAivitE.-\Ve notice by Iast week's
Clinton papers that they have succeeded
in starting a literary in that place
for the young people for. the winter
months. Now, we would like to know:
the reason 'why. we;cannot have a society
of this -kind for our young people. Would
it not be much better for the town to have
the youth grow up intelligent and moral,
than to have them grow. up as street
loungers and slang indulgents, and. also
would it not be better for the; young men.
themselves? When , place like .Clinton--
can'raise up such a society with the lead-
ing men of the town': as its pillars, etc.,
what are the intelligent' people of Sea -
forth ,thinking about ?-Sun. [And if the
editor of tkeSun, or any other person die=
