residents along William Street were dis-
turbed. from- their slumbers by a man

Few JufILnE .SINGEns—Those who.
had an opportunity of hearing these,cele-
brated vocalists on their last visit to Clin-
ton will be .gratified to know that they
are to appear here again, on the evening
of the 9th inst.. They come under '_the
auspices of the High School, and as there
,will likely be large attendance, those
who wish preferrable seats should reserve
them .at once. The admission ..is 50c. to:
all parts of the `hall,:but no extra charge
is made for reserved seats,
TIIE.CURLING RINE"...—The directory of

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday
morning the youngest daughter of R.
Holmes, aged three years, met• with. a
very -serious xccitleet. While crossiarb
the street in front theho'use she was
run over by a`' team, one of the` horses
striking her full in the face, the lower
caulks of the shoe breaking completely
out. the front of the upper jaw, and the'
front catelks.inflicting a fearful ;gash im-
mediately over her eye, which. had to be
sewed' up.Reckless driving was the cause
of the accident.
TIl> APPLE TR-A.M.—Apples can
hardly be called a plentiful crop in Huron
this year, although there are quitea..num-
ber of them. Buyers who are engaged' in
packing, state that orchards yield' -very
little fruit, compared with former years,
although the,quality : is good. The .price
varies according.to variety; the general
price being 1.25 a barrelfor fall � o apples,

and 52 for winter eines, picked. They are

TEACHERS ENGAGEri.—iMir.Geo. Baird,
.sr., has been re-engaged' as teacher on the
2nd con. of Stanley, for the Year 1884, at,
a salary of. $510 .This makes his 24th
year in the section, and we 'doubt if: a.
si.nilar circumstance. can be found in the
Province. Mr. T. Murch,.of Holmesville,
has been re-engaged as teacher' of the
school east of Clinton cemetery, at an ad-
vauced salary. • This shows his services are'
appreciated. The following Mod -elites
