TooK A TUMBLE, -A farmer was un- loading a cord of wood behind Palliser & Co'sstore last Friday, and had taken off the front row, when the waggon reach broke, causing.the end of the load to fly up. The farmer shot down into the dirt, the wood tumbled close by, while the horses started to prance around with the . two front wheels of the waggon, and would have made things lively if they could have got out anywhere, but the buildings prevented them doing much damage d TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.-. Dr. c;t.ellan, Inspector of Teachers' Institutes has au- thorized a union meeting of the East and West Huron Teachers' Institutes, to be. held in Clinton, on the 23rd and 24th of October, when he will be pressnt and take pait in the exercises. On the evening of Thursday, 23rd inst., Dr. McLellan will deliver a lecture in the town hall. ' The fact of this meeting being held here . is another evidence of '. the suitability of Clinton for suchgatherings, and shows that outsiders even realize the advantages -of this town's central location. MRS. PRENDERGAST'S LECTURE. --There was not as large au attendance as there might have been at the temperance lec- ture given by Mrs. Prendergast, on, Toes - day evening, but those present listened to one of the best addresses ever given here. Thea subject was "The evils of intemper• - ance,', and the lecturer showed that she had given considerable study to her topic, and accumulated a lot of irrefutable evi-, dence in favor of total abstinence. She. is a decidedly effective platform speaker, and will doubtless be of considerable ser- vice in furthering .temperance reform. The chair was oceupied by Mr. R. D. Bayley. • JACKSON'S Liernsr. - In accordance with his advertisement, Mr. W. Jackson made a free distribution of hats on Satur day evening last, and it is safe to say that nothing like what was witnessed in front of his store, was ever before seen in this county. Notwithstanding the mild the street was crowded with hundreds of boys, (and men also) some of whom had come long distances, and when the hats began to be thrown from an upper window, the scene that followed was one of tremend- ons excitement. The individual who was fortunate enough to 'catch a hat was im- mediately surrounded by the surging crowd, and every possible effort made to relieve him of his prize. A good deal of sport was caused by the struggles of the victims, who in several cases came out minus their own hate, which had bean lost in the attempt to retain a new one. BRIEFS. -Mr. A. Eurchill, (son of It. Burchill, Esq., of this place) ,bas been re- eagaged as teacher of a school hi Wawa- • nos; tnat his a -successful teacher is shown by his re-engagement.
