As the price of admission will be low, all ought to patronize it. - HOLAIESVrLLE BRIDGE.—We learn that County Clerk Adamson has'received)the papers of Harbottle;` contractor for "the Holmesville bridge, all properly signeds and sealed., This should set at rest all doubts about the priSper completion '.of. the contract, and it is more, than probable • that' the bridge will be ready for use this season-.

Mrs. Ward returns thanks to.•the-insuranee- company and •the efficient- agent for the prompt manner in which the' claim was settled. We have known Mx. Manning for a number of years, and have no hesitation in commending him to the public as a thorough, reliable and painstaking agent—ever' willing to take a good risk tor his company, and always careful that losses shall be promptly at- tended to.—Signal. CLINTON ' REMEN.—On Tuesday, Clin- ton Fire Brigade, under command.; of Chief Geo. •E.- Pay, proceeded to London, to take part in the contest.

DIED FAR AWAY For: many years Mr. Jas. Fair hada .man employed on his farm -here, narriedMIichael: i\TiIlale`y— "vh'o resided on the place. About a year since he.collected what money he had saved., and deserted his wife, who is; well -lap in years. She- was entirely dependent on the charityof others, and nothing was. known of her husband's wherealioutsuntil a new day's since, when it was learned that he had recently died at the residence of a sister in Prince Edward's Island. WHAT-THE"GODERICH LADIES WANT. In Egypt there is a custom that the man shall never see his, wife's .face 'until they are married, and hence he does not know - whether nowwhether. it is good, bad or indifferent look- and.the two latter -classes :are just as liablee to get husbands asthe former. The Goderich ladies, it is asserted, are endea- the present efficiency and appearance of the company, for thesei;entlemen have been indefitigablenr their efforts, ` NOT AT HOME. The_yaang legal gen- tleman who has been staying at the Manse, during the absence of Rev. Mr. Stewart,: found himself in rather a trying position on Saturday evening. :In'answer to aknock at the door, he discovered 'a couple in waiting, who asked for the minister;\and were seemingly very anxious to see him.' The legal gentleman; who is well known for his modesty, blushed considerably,, and then explainsd that he wa afraid he could not_.perfoi•n- the_ .ser ie_e _required,,, He, however, kindly invited thecouple in and seemed disposed to do all in his power to make them comfortable.. ' In fact he was willing to haste and bring another minister to the scene and have the union, ,consummated, but the lady being a good Presbyterian repeatedly declared: that' she would be -married by none other than a Presbyterian minister. The L. G. was profuse in his sympathy, and: as the' couple took their departure, in, broken accents he wished them • better success voting to have the same custom _introduc- next time, and hastily dashed'' aside the ed there, and if it will assist them in at- falling tear with his handkerchief. tanning their object they shall have. the A STREET BRAWL: On Wednesday at moral support of: this paper. CURLING AND SKATING RINK. `=- A meeting is called for this evening, in the Council Chamber, to consider the estab- lishing . of a skatinb and curling rink. ' . One is badly needed in Clinton,and we should think those interested would "at tend and help to , initiate the concern. The Agricultural' Society is willing, we Understand, to give the ground necessary, free of rent,' for their use of the building that may be erected two days in the year. The Committee will ,be prepared to sub- _ mit estimates andPlans for,the building.,_ Courrrg EXAM;urns.—A meeting of the County Board of Examiners was held here on Saturday hist. Present Messrs. Dewar, Miller, Halls, Gregory, Malloch, and the secretary, P. Adamson. The prin- cipal business transacted was. the"- arrang- ing of _classes for the approaching Model SchooIsession. There will be a class of about thirty-five for each school.The board decided •to continue the f;e:'of $5 for each student, to be paid; to the.secre- tary of the_aeho_ol ii advance The ses- sion will. commence .:on.the 1. th_pf„,Sep_. tember,•when all candidates are expected to be punctually on hand. • �•- I31crz l'ArG NoTEs.= On Monday I essrs.

W,•Farran contemplates the purchase of an 'Xtraordinary 'Cycle' next year. We speak whereof weknow in saying that not anothe coun�n the f o ince3fera r y 1 *{6 as splendid facilities in the shape of good roads; for riding, as does the county of Huron ; compared with some counties, the roads here are fifty per cent the best, noon the usual;quiet of our streets was broken by what' proved to be a, very un- seemly and somewhat expensive row. Sanford Hill, who works at East's brick- yard, had come into town during the morning and induced his brother Hiram. Hill,. who lives here, and of late has been endeavoring to lead a respectable life, to take some drink with hurt: Both imbibed too much and became quarrelsome. En- tering Pike's ntering-Pike's Hotel they became boister- ous and Chief . Paisley ` interfered. ' He succeeded in getting Sanford, who was by far the worst, out into tine -street and- was.. tajmgliim to the lockup when Hiram came to his rescue, and in warding him oil' both- escaped. " After quite a tussle Sanford was again secured at Racey's cor- ner, and, several bystanders took charge; of Hiram. They, were put in durance vile and in the evening Magistrates For- rester and Corbett fined Sanford Hill in two charges, in all $50, and Hiram Hill $23.75. 'A good' deal oaf' sympathy, was expressed for the latter asit is well known that for a year past he has been doing his best -to keep from liquor--and--live-right, -W-e-trust-tlrat-now he will take warning and do better. It was the option of the. Magistrates to have conamitted >both, for trial, as the obstructingof a Constable in the discharge of his duty is a misdemean or punishable' by two years imprisonment but the fact ,of one of them having a family, dependent pon him weighed' inhis favor,, and they were dealt with summarily. It is to berogretted that in all these;, scrim- mages there is a disposition on the part of some to favor -lawlessness, and hence any retort made on .the Chief, or injury,. inflicted, is received with demonstrations of approval. This should not be, .but all /out eitTzeusslrould at 'onee—help-pp }Shen needed, in the enforcement' of the law.
