The lot is three-eighths of an acre, and the property fair value for the money., Mr. Dickson is making a number of im- provements and changes in the house; :and will immediately occupy it.

Princess : St. NEW GRAD:—A few. loads of wheat lave been all the new; grain sold here this season, and, as may ' be expected, these have been generally of poor quality. About 90c per.. bushel has been the price paid, this low figure being . due to the inferiority of the grain, which only weighs about 45 pounds to the bushel. At this time of year it is usual for local buyers to have numerous enquiries for grain, •and one dealer informs us that in an experi- on the 3.45,train, Mr. . Dickson and wife intending to go from London'to St. Catha- rines and other points east, and Mr. Powell' and wife goingdirect to their home at -De- troit. A very large .number of friends gathered at'the station to see them 'off; and wish theni abundant happiness.] BRIEFS. -There was a heavy frost on Saturday and Sunday nights, the ther no- meter getting down to 25° .

Samples of barley shown indicate a:better quality than that of last. year, but as American,malsters: have )..et a large, quantity of last, year's growth on hand, the prospects for this crop are no brighter, financially, than- those of any other. CALEDONIA CELEBRATION. --•The peo- ple in this neighborhood turned out well on Wednesday to witness the Caledonian games at Lucknow. ` About 175 came down from Goderich and took ' the !torn ing train here;,a large number carne up from Stratford, 160 tickets were sold at Clinton, and when the G. W. 1. train backed into the -station : to take themon board, it had six cars jammed full; so•that three more cats" -had .to be added A pleasant day was spent at Lucknow, ' d a special train in the evening brought'the excursio.nists back: home. The special advantages Clinton possesses in the way - of railway accommodation,'was'shown in the fact that Stratford excursionists left their home in the morning, spent the day at Lucknow, and got back home again the same night. A Sar4srf.—On Friday aftern on il'Isyor, Forrester was coming in from hisfarm on the Huron road, on hisbicycle, when he met a buggy containing a man, his' wife, - and a little child. Tho horse' stood -per- fectly still till after he had passed it, and. trot. Turning started off on a quick round a moment after Mr. Forrester was surprised to:see 'the horsestanding, by'a. fence and the buggy upside down in the ditch, the occupants being underneath -it., tth- it. p g _� He went back and helped them out Of ` h. their dilemma, filing upthe-buggy, v boli„ had been considerably broken by, the ac cident. It appears that after passing the bicycle,. the lady in the: buggy became nervous and thoughtlessly grasped one of the lines, causing the horse to turnoff the road and upset the rig. It was a wonder some of .them were not Seriously `hurt. TEMPERANCE ENTERTAINMENT.—No t - withstanding the unfavorable weather,the i;rst open meeting of the temperance lodge was largely attended on Friday evening,; the hall being filled, mainly with young peple.

Mr. Geo: Oakes riot having been before the public -, _previously, hisexcellent rendition' was a stirprise to most present who were not ; .,-'.aware that he was a singer of such merit..
