h'A¢AL AoOrmaNT,—We regre•
t to learn
that feat': daps" sinceamost shocking ac.-.
cident befel Mr. B, Daley, of Emmett,
Mich., formbrly'of Clinton, by which he
lost hie-. life: Ile was walking along the
railrdad track on his way home, when he
was struck by an express train and in-
stantly killed. Before he was found three,
trains had ,passed over hien, and he was
so terribly mangled that;=he could,001 6e
identified by Alia rwhiskers. He .was . a
steady, industrious man, engaged in busi-
ness in Emmett, and the only theory of
the accident is that: he did not hear the
train approaching. • He leaves '-a.wife and.
family to mourn hisuntimely death:
GETir2N( 1'iEADY;—Our merchants are
• busy getting ready for the fall and winter
tr-ader-and new -goods of- every;descrption
are arriving daily. A visit to thediiferent
stores at this.time will convince the most
sceptical that our merchants have the best
and finest stock of goods• ever brought in-
to. theeauntry. 'flare is no use for farm-
ers and others to go elsewhere to . have
their wants supplied, as • by patronizing
this town they will got better bargains
and be better satisfied withtheir purchases.
Our merchants are anticipating a large
business during the fall and coming winter
and we trust .their expectations will be
more than realized.
THE BAND CONCERT. -While there was
a fair house at tfie band concert on Fri-
day evening, the attendance.was not such,
we think, as the band had reason,, to ex-
pect.. We. suppose that had the entertain-
,- went, been got up by outsiders altogether,
the-building�-haveha-vo been ;lammed:
The programme was rend eyed just' as pub-
lished in the Nlsw lk .last: week, with
the 'exception that Mr:.Shane, of Blyth,
did not takepart. The instrumental part
of the programme was_particularlygood,
a statement that hardly requires to be.
made. Miss Robertson;as a recitet,is al-
ways lifelike anal real, andon this occa-
sion did unusually well. Mr.. Reeves was
encored do both pieces he sang, and Mr.
Blackstone was also encored. Mr:. -Sibley
is a good singe, but seems more..s:t home
with sacred Than sentimental music,
THE LATE$ MR. WADE,—We copy the
following from last week's Expositor; -The:
person referred to was well known here,•
Having been a resident•ofClinton for sev-
eral Years, and his demise will be regret-

oldest daughter of Mr. A..l{nor, Holmes-
