HOUSE SoLn -Mr. E. Corbett has sold
his house and lot on William Street, to:
Mr. Chris. Dickson, for the sum of $1,000.
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.
IMPROVEMENTS. — Dr. Dowsley,' has
moved his office back further from the

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° . The ',yards,

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. The Maitland concession_ choir,

- PARLOR CONCERT. --,,The concert green;
on Thursday evening; at the' residence of
Mr. A. S. Fisher; was attended by a very
good audience, who seemed to highly ap-
preciate the several pieces on. ;the pro-
gramme. All who -took part in the enter-
tainment performed their -parts: well, but
especial mention should be made of seve
ral that were really excellent. The sins
-
rug of Miss ISI. Callander,;was thought by
many the best oh -the programme; -=a duet
by Mr. T. Jackson, Jr:, and 1V1iss Nett.
Jackson was greatly admired.' 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..
The singing by the, quartette and chorus
was also decidedly good. In • addition to
these mentioned;' Miss Ida Dayis'and Mrs.
Newton gave instrumental pieces, Miss
Eva Bean, Dr. Williams and Mr. Love,
each gave a song,,Mr. ' Jas, Scott and Miss
