FALL WORK.-Fartners ehould not
complain that the weather has beeu
unsuitable for fall work, for, taking it
altogether, this fall has been excep-
tionally fine, and if farmers have not
got their fall work fairly finished up,
It is their own fault.
DIED AT HOUSE OF REFUGE, -
The death took place at the House of
Refuge on Sunday of a former wellknowu resident of Seaforth, in the
person of James MeGonnigle, aged Co
years. Deceased has been an inmate
of the House since L902; he was a Pres-
byterian. The body was taken to Sea-
fcrth for interment.
MORE RAILWAYS,- The Cana-
-Wan Northern Railway is applying to
Parliament for a charter to build a
number uf branches in Ontario, one of
which has Goderich for its terminal
,point. The Board of Trade of Clinton
-if it is still in existence -should get
busy and exert itself to secure the pas-
sage of the Canadian Northern through
the town. It is usual for a railway, in
applying for a charter, to define its
proposed route, butso far the propose4
route of the Canadian .Northern has
not been defined, beyond the terminal
point.

CLINTON BUSINESS COLLEGE
ENLARGED. -Owing to the large at-
tendance at the Clinton Business 001-
tege. the progressive management
have found it necessary to get larger
apartraents fitted up. An additional
;teacher Miss Rosa McNee, of London,.
-who is a Gold Meealist, arrived in
town Saturday and is in charge of the
K
Stenographic Department. nowing
something of this institution andthe
thoroughness of its work, we can
heartily recommend the Clinton Buse.
ness College to those desirous of secur-
ing a Commercial or Stenographic
education.
IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY. -
As the morning train from Goderieh
was approaching Holmesville on Tues-
day, and before it had stopped, a young
lady, with telescope valise, jumped off,
and the momentum carried her head
over heels down the hill. In the mean-
time the train had started up again,
and the young- lady, who had gained
e
he e feet, started after it, and it was
stopped for her benefit. She raade a
mistake in jumping off, thinking she
had reached Clinton, but she took big
risks. Some of the passengers who
saw her said she could "loop the loop
like an acrobat."
COST HUI SOME MONEY: - A
wedding was consummated in an ad-
joining town a few days since, which
has an interesting circumstance at-
tached to it. The groom it is said
was engaged to another estimable
young lady taen the one who became
his wife. He went to her and offered
$100o to be released from his engage-
ment. The young lady, knowing
that she had the young man in a box,
refused to accept the offer, but she
said, "you pay me $2000, and fal re-
lease you, aud you can go to the
dickens." Pay the 52000 he is said to
have done, eget the way was clear to
his marriage- es_ -
ACCIDENTS. -On Friday last Mrs.
Bean happened to slip on one of the
cold air registers in the town hall,
which slipped and allowed her to fall
partly through: though not 'badly in-
jured, the shock laid her up for a
couple of days.
Mrs. Cantelon, Princess Street, had
the misfortune to fall down Cellar, and
sustained a fracture of one arm..
On Tuesday evening a traveller at.
the Normandie walked to the sear
end the la , Un oc e t e iac
door, went out on the trunk platform,
and walked off in the darkness, falling
a dietetic* of about 12 feet : he was
pretty badly shook up.
BADE FAREWELL. -To Mr. John
A. Cooper, Toronto (son of Mrs'. W.
(Jmper, Clinton.) on the occasion of
his Fel irement from the editorship of
the Canadian Magazine, a pleasant
farewell was given last Monday night
by the management. in the shape of a
dinner at the Queen's Hotel. Dr. Fer-
gusonpresident althe company,
piel the chair, and Mr. Thos. Mulvey
was vice-chairman. Dr. Fergileon paid
.a tribute to alr. Cooper for his work
as editor of the Canadian Magazine.
'this periodical had not at first a verv.
pronasing outlook, hut Mr. Cooper s
editorship had made it a live monthly.
Mr. tooper maa e an appropriate reply,
saying that his way was made smooth
hy the conipany, and that Dr. Fergu-
son was a good busiriess Mati. Ile had
found room in Canada for,a high chies
monthly wheal was valuable as a cul-
tivator of Canadiali literature. Mr.
Cooper said he would always veinember
with pleasure his connection with this
magrizine. Addresses Were delivered
by several others, who expressed their
wishes for the Sileeess of the Canadian
Cormier, the new weekly, of which, Mr.
Cooper will be editor.

COUNTY COUNCIL MATTERS.-•
The change in the County Councils

dictates in the different municipalities.

The Wardenship will go to a Liberal
next year, according to the tacit nn-
derstancline that has been followed for
years, and the aspirants for this posit-
ion are said to be J. N. McKenzie, of
Aehfield, and 'W. Lamont, of Stanley,
both of whom will therefore contest
the Reeveship in their respective mum.
icipalities. in Godeeich Robt. lticLetth
will run for the Reeveship, and in Clin-
ton D. Cantelon ; neither of these two
has been Wardell, though both have
been in the Council for some time, and
if elected they will run again next
year, the Wardeuship being the ulti•
mate prize. In Goderich township Mt.
Middleton will likely be elected by ee-
elamation. The RAMO may be true of
Mr. McMillitn in litillett, though there
are rumors of opposition. In Colborne

Dig Crowd, (hod Supper and
Splendid programme at Fowl
Supper in the Town Hall.
On TillIAPKI'Vk evening last a fowl
Quiver was given in the Town Hall
und,er the autipiceS of the ladies of
the Wesley Church congregation, and
it was agreat success. The attendance
was large, and the supper was so de-
licious and elaborate as to more than
sustaiu the reputation of former years.
Perhaps the only thing in connection
with the whole affair in which one
could imegine room for improvement
was in the matter of ammoniating
guests at the tea tables. Owing to the
large number being allowed in the
hall at one tune,witere the supper WaS
served, instead of people being seated
regularly as they arrived,it wile a eese
of who could get she that empty cbair,
and some strangers who hesiteted to
push themselves forward, had to wait a
good while, but in spite of this the
supper WO.S a most enjoyable affair for
all present.
Just when the crowd was largest, the
electric lights went onaciwing to as fuse
burning out, and althoughit wile re-
paired as quickly as possible, the delay
of several minutes was einbarassing.
After supper an excellent program
was rendered in the hall, the audience
crowding in as best they could. Some
were of the oplision that it would have
been better had this part of the pro-
gram taken piece in the church or else
remove the tables. Be this as it may,
the hall was packed to the doors, and
n. everybody seemed to have an enjoy -
d, able tinie. Rev, air, Jolliffe acted tiA
er chairman. The program embraced an
es instrumental duet, by Misses Ida and
sa Louie -Holmes. recitations by Misses
h F. Ounninghame and Pearl dantelon ;
solosbyJames Doherty,Stewart Jack-
son, Mrs. Currie, Miele Lilly Coates ;
duet, Mr Bibles/sand Miss Boles ; sun-
flo wer chorons, nine girls ; violin solo.
Miss Irene Hoover. Miss Leila Hoover
and Miss Clete' Ford wore accompan-
