LABOR DAN EXCURSIONS.—The cheap rates offered by the railways was a great inducement to the public, and. on Saturday all trains leaving here were crowded, a good many also went away on .Monday. Next week the rush will be to London, which naturally draws largely fxoin this sec- tion ot country. 'TELEPHONE FROM CLINTON T- WINGHAM.--By the addition of ex tra long distance line between ,thes two points, subscribers to the Bel Telephone Company's system hav noticed a decidedly peewee. handling o business, and. the service will presently be farther ilflpi'bved by a contin— uationdirect of; this. line into London.. stolen in town, and in order to stop o eneee o this nature, some punish• ment will have to be administered.

A HOUSE FAMINE,—.There is practically a house famine in Clinton. Att the present time it. is next to 'int• O possible to obtain a house of any de- • scription for rent. A number of Paan• e flies are on the hunt, and anything I 'habitable is quickly taken. With the e additions to the several factories there f bas been a considerable influx of new residents, and the problem as. seen at present is where are we, going esstto them ? Would it not bee., pay ng in- vestment for•some enterprising cttlzeri• to ' erect a number of eonafortabie• houses' that could be leased far' e moderate rental ? • J RUNAWAY. --Mr. • Percy Couch, while out driving near •,Bayfield, had the ' misfortune to have a runasiray.

They tookthe unfortun- atecouple into their rig and followed the horse, with which they came up to,'about two miles farther on, the shafts. were still attached to it. They removed the shafts and led the horse to town. Next morning they went outfor•theshafts which were gone. ANOTHER BURGLARY. — On Thursday night last some one,stip- posedly a young man, broke into lNewcembe's Clothing` Store,and rigged • himselfout in a brand new suit of clothes, leaving his old onesand not bad ones either, lyingon the floor. He gained an entrance by breaking a nellar.window at the -rear, and once in. the cellar it was easy to go up into the store. Ile is supposed to have turned :en the : li-ghts,•` and apparently standing near thefront door, disrobed and put oo new clothes, even to socks and necktie. • He left a cap, sweater, black shirt. pants and coat. Informa- tion was brought to town that a well- dressed, slim young .niers had called at a house in Summerhill, early Fri- day morning, and asked for something to eat.

' •VITAL STATISTICS, --The report of the'births, marriages and deaths, ocouting in Ontario, for the year. 1004 has just been published. It looks to be somewhat behind hand, but appar- ently these statistics cannot be pro- cured earlier. In Huron there were 1121 • births, a decrease of 35 over the previous year. . There were 428 mar- riages, a • decrease of 6. There were 710 deaths,an`increase of 19. The pop- ulation of•Huron is the Oth highest in the Province,, but in the matter of births there are 18 counties that stand higher ; in the nnirnber of marriages, it is the 15th, and in deaths it stands 13th.. The average death rate per 1000 in the county' for the past ten ,years, was 10. FIRE—At half -past' eleven o'clock yin Saturday night, fire was discovered • in the store occupied by W, J.

The stock was practically destroyed. either . l.y water or smoke. The heat was so in- tense that the plate glass windows were cracked, The origin of the fire is a mystery, as there was no evidence of any. when Mr, Galbraith went over to the harbor shop fifteen minutes before the alarm was given. Mr, Galbraith lived over the store, but his family are, away at present, ;Che stock was insur- ed, ;as also his 'household effects, but there is ne:insurance on the building. RELIABLE INSTRUMENTS.—W.

It has been aeu3tom in this province, from time iinmemorial,• for a school teacher to accept abetter position than the one, which for•the time he might happen to hold, and then to cooly not. ify his hoard that he intended to Leave, even though he might be under con- tract to remain for another year. This kind of thing. though of questionable propriety, was tolerated by school boards, for the reason 'that it was:al- ways easy to get someone else - to fill the place Lately, however, teachers have been, becoming scarce, that. trus- tees are finding it difficult to fill a va- cancy on short notice, and teachers will not in futtite be allowed to break engagements, without incurring: some. risk. .
