At this price the place is a cheap one, as'
there are 70 acres cleared, but the proper-
ty is:adjoining the farm of Mr.Cartwright,
and therefore better value to him than any
one else. —
LOCAL RAILWAY' NOTES.—Mr. Mr. A. O.

is a very large amount of both. incoming

WEST RIDING .INSPEOTOR.-WO were

ing the fact that he' found it difficult te.
move about. He has been 'advised to

A LIVELY Tower.—On Saturday .morn-
ing last, business was comparatively, quiet
in town, but' all • afternoon: the streets were
thronged with people, and there was every
indication of " business booming." The
farmers know that this Ube best place in

sequence is that they c from all sec-

Naw BAND.—Clinton is again to'the
front as usual, this. time showing her -
musical talent. A Vocophone Band' has
been formed and will shortly •make their
appearance. This is the latest instrument
that has•been invented and' is a great no-
velty. The band consist of. est and 2nd
w•cornet, alto, tenor, baritone, slide trom-
bone and bass. This is the. first band oi`
the kind in this section and we hope they
may' geeplenty to do.
NEARLY AN ACCIDENT.—What might
have been a serioi:la accident in town, on
Sunday evening was ,prevented .by the
presence of mind :of a little,girl,;six years
of age. Several children • were plpying
round a table, when a- lighted lamp was
knocked down, the oil running over the
carpet. As quick as a flash ,the child'in
question picked up the• burning lamp and.
blew it out before the running oil head
time to catch fire.
ROBERTY•tRGANFlONORS.—In another
column will be found •some' interesting'
letters ifhd a summing up of the, many,
first prizes wort by the Doherty organs this
year, as far as known, against strong com-
petition in every case. "Weare not at all
surprised at their wonerful •successes, for
if the public knew the perfection,•whidli
the Doherty organ has attained,, they
,would_quite.understand how it' was they
got every first prize they competed for, and.
we predict oven ' -greater honors in. the near
'future.. ,
