SBOULD in FIXED AT o vcr..—There
is 'a hole right through the flooring of the
London road bridge, which, if not .of
repaired, may result in an acei-
.ilg, nt; any one driving over the bridge
after dark would be apt to get their horse
in it, as the hole is right in the driveway;
.the town should send a man down to re-
--pair it, even if it is county work.
AMPUTATED.—A short time ago while
feeding a thresher on the Ransford 'farm,
Mr. Andrew McGregor had the misfortune
to have the fingers of his right hand cut
with the band -cutter's knife. To save the•
fingers if possible, they were sewed; up,
but mortificatioh set in with the little
finger, and this week Mr. McGregor came
to town and had his finger amputated
close to the hand.
Goon.—Mr. C. Callander, brother of
Mr. A. Callender, of this town, succeeded
in taking a second class A certificate from
the St. Catharines Coll. Institute, and J.
C. McLennan, son of Mr. D. McLennan,
formerly of Clinton, obtained the same
grade from the Stratford High School
Mr. McLennan labored at a disadvantage
in point of time for preparation; .11e has
progressed very rapidly, considering his
years, having passed .from ,our High
•
School the matriculation examination to
Toronto University, to which institute be
. goes this fall, "'
SUNaTRUOK. -- Charles Cottle, (eldest
son of Mr. GegCottie) sustained a 'slight
sunstroke the other day, while at work on
farm of Mr. John• Lindsay. He was en
gaged in flowing, and felt a faintness
Cbmrng on oefore he fell to the ground ;
the lines were twisted about his hands,
and pulled the horse around ; he managed
'to regain his feet—he hardly knows how—
and unhitched the team,' wIi1&i walked
home. Some of the household seeing the
boy fall, came and . carried him to- the
house, and, as he was unconscious, res-
toratives were applied. He is now none
the worse of his mishap.
NOT COMPLIMENTARY.—The Mitchell
Advbcate says :-" Conductor McKnight
says that every night the platforms at
Seaforth and Clinton stations are •,so
thronged with idlers that he'- has . often
been. surprised that serious accidents or
greater damage has not been done before,
th- is, xlfitcbell ile thinks bad• enough,'
but it is not half so bad, in his. opinion,
as either of the spoken of." So far as
Olinton, station is concerned, we know
that Mr. Pattison has repeatedly tried to
.prevent young men congregating at -the
:rta'tion; but it is hard to . do. •it without
appearing discourteous. . Young. men
e could take tbe•hint and act accordingly.
LEAVING. Tow.N.-Our readers will re-
gret to learn that Mr. W. L. Newton pur-
"pbyes leaving town, he having disposed of
'his harness business to Mr.Geo. Sharman,
late of Goderich. Mr. Newton has long
been a resident of this place, and will be
missed from amongst us, as will also his
esteeme>!l wife, who, as a musician, has
- contributed a great deal to the many sne-
cessful entertainments given here. He
has not decided where he will go, or in
•. what line of business he will engage, but
wherever he goes, he carries With him the
best wishes of a large circle of friends.
aYIr.;Sharman is a good. practical man, and
will doubtless receive a share of support.
TEE , STANDARD ELEVATOR. - When
Mr. 1t. Irwin, of this place, completes the
' improvements contemplated in connection
with the Standard Elevator, he will have
undoubtedly the most complete grain
storehouse to be found outside of Toronto.
As has previously been stated in these
columns, he has added steam power., for
the purpose of elevating the. grain; which
was formerly done by horse power. A
very neat brick engine house, 60 feet -from
the main building has been built, Joseph
Ryder doing the masonry, and 'from the
engine therein stationed is run shafting
to the elevator. Itis intended to enlarge
the elevator -cups so that five " hundred
bushels an hour can be carried tothe
upper story, and a barley cleaner will
also be placed therein, to be run by steam:
Economy in the handling of grain is one
of the essentials to success in this line,
and Mr. Irwin has certainly got the de-
tails of his business down to the finest
point—machinery now doing in a short
time what was formerly done by hand
with considerable expenditure of time
and labor.
