i U if $ARTrzse IN Tan ExTREMME,—A. mo.thcr is always supposed to have strong of
fection for`, her offspring, and instances
where such is lacking are fortunately very
rare. A case occurred in this vicinity
this week; which from. the information
received shows some women to be almost
devoid of love and affection. A bright
little boy of 15, named Ogilvie, has for
some time been, employed with a Hullett
farmer, and • becoming seriously i11, his
mother, who resides at Chicago, was tele-
graphed for. She came over, and remain-
ed with her son until Tuesday, when he
NOTIOE. died, though she appeared very anxious
to getback, lest, as she said "she would
lose her situation." She then came to
, town, forordered a coffin, and put up. at a
hotel • 1
e the night, ,caving for Chicago in
the morning, without going back to see to
the burial of her son, or its any. way what-
ever manifesting any concern therefor.

HURT ITBt:LF, A young child of Mr,
Robt. McCullagli's, on the Huron road,
hurt itself pretty severely the other day
by falling on its head from a window sill.
,A medical than called in afterwards found
it suffering from concussion of the brain,
and it is still suffering therefrom:
THE FALL WHEAT. From cereful`en-
,quiries made among farmers, we learn
that the recent frosts have not materially
,affected the fall wheat, which promises to
come out tolerably well.. Several fields
in this neighborhood -look well, and_ there
is every reason to assume ,that the crop
will be an average one.
THE SALVATION AR11LY.—The. captain
,of the Salvation army, laboring at Sett-
forth,
eaforth, visited -Clinton on Wednesday, to
arrange for a campaign in this town.
Having heard that the Saved . army were
,coming here, he said that unlessthey came
at once, a detachment of the salvation
would be along, and they would make the
evil -doers of this town tremble.
+•+'FA'.A'SVAY.—On Tuesday morning Mr.
Beatty was engaged in plowing . in the
northern limit of the town, • when. • his
horses, were left- standipg :fora n oment. -
They took advantage of bis•.absence, and.
breaking, away . from the.. • plow; ' bolted
through a wire fence, about fry hods, of
which they •carried away with them.
When they arrived down town, :one of
them was considergbly out, but neither
were seriously hurt, -
A BAD TI;MBLE,—.On Monday.afternoon
Mr. A. A. Bennett met with • an accident -
which nearly made it .necessary' for. him
- to occupy one of -his Own coffins.'He was
delivering some furniture at.Holmesville,
! and While standing.sin-•the- waggon, , the
horse moved, thronging Mr. Bennett over
the side, head -first, he falling on his right
• -shoulder and face. He was .stunned by
the fall, and besides being badly bruised,;
cut his face severely. r.
A GOOD POSITION:—Mr. J.S. Metcayfe,
•
V. S. has secured a good position in;con-
nection with the, .establishment of Mr.

field, A, He is to attend to 'the ills' and
ailments of that person's ' horses,' and re-
ceives therefor the sum of $1,500, With
the privilege of practising his. profusion,
and enters upon his duties. almost•inime-
diately, He has about soldhis business
here to Mr. Kerr, of Wingham.
ALTim:—A meetin
g_o£ulie Healih
Committee was held on'Tuesday evening,
--when a variety of matters relatibg to 'the
health of the tolvn were discussed, the dna
spector expressing bis determination to
-°-- --strictly enforce the •by;laws of the:'tocvn
especially 'as regards water, closets. He
bas a large contract on hand, and will no
doubt createenemiesif the law is enforced
without fear or favor; but that should not
deter him from seeing that the provisions -
of the lain are properly complied with.
TAVERN LICENSns,--The report of the
Provincial Secretary .on ;the Tavern and
Shop License Act, for 1883•, has been: is-
sued, from which we gather the following
particulars :-In Huron last year 1.63 li-
censes were granted' against 159 in 1880.
In 1872, 88 shop licenses were 'issued' in
this county, the number being tedueed to
' 15 in 1882. The fines collected in Huron,
for violation of the law, amounted to
$560. The number of prisoners commit=
ted to the Goderich jail for drunkenness
in 1883, was 5;•in 1.877 the number-was;29,-
THE Sicic.—Miss E. Mountcastle,:who.
has been suffering for several weeks with
inflammation of the eyes, is now able to'
get out, •though yet far from well. Mr,

has been so dangerously ill during the
last few days, that the rnenibers of his

has sold ten acres On -the Bayfield road,
