SALE QF SIIERP,--ItIessrs Snell & Sons, who have a world-wide reputa- tion as breeders o1! improved stock, sold a pair of aged Shropshire sheep, and three ram lambs of the same breed, to a Mr Stephens, of Iowa,last week. These animals were all prize winners, and therefore, first class stock. • DISCHARGED. — The young man Colclough, who had been committed to jail on a charge of stealing cattle, came before Judge Toms for trial, on Saturday. The defence was that he had bought the cattle from another man, and as there was°'no evidence to prove to 'the contrray, he was dis- charged. RECOGNITION OF SERVICES.—At a meeting of the board'of trustees of the Ontario St. Methodist church, held on Wednesday evening, Oct. 5, the following resolution was unanimously adapted :—Moved by NV. Tiplady, seconded by J.Stevens,that the thanks of this board,are due and are hereby given to Mr Oakes and the choir for the valuablef aid which they rendered in the reopening services of the church. • TELEPHONE CENTRAL.—Owing to other matters claiming attention, Mr Will Jackson has given up the Cen- tral Telephone Agency, which has been transferred to the store of Mr Rob W. Coats, who will hereafter answer to all calls of "Hello,Central." Should " Rob" be as attentive and courteous to telephone subscribers as his predecessor, (and there is every reason to believe he will be) there will be no cause for fault finding. D>riTH—News bas Leen received here of the death in Montreal of Mr. Charles E. Clarke, assistant inspector of the Molsons Bank, aged 23 years. Deceased entered Molsons Bank some eight or nine years since as a junior clerk, rising rapidly until he reached the responsible position of assistant:inspector. At one time he was teller in the branch here. He was engaged to an estimable young lady iu St, Thomas, who, with his relatives, has the sincere sympathy of many .friends. His death was caused by typhoid fever, PLENTY OF IT.—" Oh, the rain the beautiful rain, falling in showers again and again, soaking the ground which has been so dry, good for root crops, fall wheat and for rye;" as soon as our imp had„turned out this stanza he was consigned to obliviou for his impudence. There has been. no dearth of raip during thb past two weeks, for it has rained mere or less every day, with the result that getting about has been somewhat inconvenienced by the weathei. Still it is good for the land, which was thirsty enough. A CLINTONJAN rN DENVER.—Un- der date of the 3rd inst. Mr G. E. Crawford, formerly of Clinton, writes as follows:—” Mrs C. has improved greatly and we are all terribly in love with Denver. We are here almost a year and are pretty fairly able to judge of the weather as a whole, and it is just magnificent. We did not suffer from heat in snmmer or cold in winter. It is beautiful sunshine near- ly all the time. Denver is growing rapidly, buildings are going up in every direction. Real Estate is quite active and we expect a grand boom this falland winter." Hien ScHoor, BOARD.—A meeting of the board was held ou Friday night to consider certain changes and addi- tions to the school building. After these had been settled Mr Turnbull s u b m it tesLresl uisitS on s_ fe r_.._ i n creased- equipments reased- equipments and for books for library, which were referred to the committee on studies, with power to procure the same. A committee consisting of the teachers and Messrs Dowsley, Pay and Manning were appointed to com- plete the necessary papers to be sent to the Department to arrange the time and manner of the opening. ser- vices of the Collegiate Institute. The following accounts were ordered to be paid :—A. Worthington, $25.02; CI, Dickson, $26.67; D. Malloch, $39.10; Insurance, $20. STILL IN' DEMAND.—The call for rentable houses in Clinton has been better this year than ever before. It is no sooner known that a house will be 'vacant ora near house is to be built, than there are several appli- cants after it. Mr W, H. Hine re- cently decided to erect a new !louse on Rattenbury street,and the contract was ,.hardly let before he bad the house rented. Mr Perrin states that he could have rented his two new houses a dozen times over, and Mr James Smith. has had any number of applications for the " dandy" he is erecting on Ontario St, Others have had the same experience. The new house erected for Mr W. Jones on Isaac street, is about completed, and rented by a young who has reached the wise conclusion that " it is not good for man to live alone." We have repeatedly advocated the erec- tion of more houses, believing that there is a constantly increasing do- mand for them. Those who have money at their disposal should 'sir - range to use it next year in the erec- tion of houses, as they aro a sure and good investment. WATCHING FOR HORSE -THIEVES. A certain farmer who lives in this vicinity and justly prides himself on the excellence of the horse -flesh that he is the owner of, concluded a few nights since that he would wettch his horses in the field, lest they might be driven off by thieves. He told his wife that he would come in some time during the night, and accordingly a lamp'was left burning in the house and a comfortable fire in the kitchen -stove. Armed with a revolver, the farmer started out in`o the night air, and leisurely followed the horses around the field as they occasionally changed locations. During the night his wife woke up,and finding that her husband had not been back in the house as he had promised to be, be- came alarmed that something had happened to him, ani woke up two other members of the family to go out and 'see what had occurred. They were afraid to 'go, lest their father should, in the darkness, take them for thieves and fire on them, but they finally decided to go, and after con- siderable manceuvring, reached him to find that everything was all right. He cautioned them agftinst doing a similar thing in future, and alleges tint he will never watch his horses in the field again, as it was the most lonesome night he ever put in. Since that time the horses have been stabled nightly, and a guard set oyer them. At the Voters' List Court of Iter;. cion, before Fudge Toms, on Wednce- day, a few Changes were made, but nope of tbern important. The ladies of St Foul's church aro. busy arranging for the holtliag, of a grand promenade concert and bazaar, in the town ball, about the end of the mopth ; the proceeds are in aid of the organ fund. Rev. B. B. Keefer will preach in Rattenbury street church next Sunday evening, and lecture in the town hall on Monday evening. Prof. apd Fairy Morgan will take part in the proceed- ings of the latter. Mr Thos. Carbett, on the gravel road, is getting ready for the erection of a new brick house. Mr Carbett is one of the most prosperous farmers in Hallett, and can well afford to put up a pretty nice place. PROPERTY CHANGE. -Mrs Carter has sold her property on the Huron road west, consisting of ten acres and frame house, to a Mr Lankin, lately from the old country, for the sum of $1,500 cash. Mrs Carter intends to move into town et once. W. F. M. S.=At the last monthly meeting of the Wgmen's Missionary Society of Rattenbury St. church, the following officers were elected for the ensuiug year:—President,Mrs Rupert; Vice -Presidents, Mrs Pattison and Mrs Win. Taylor ; Rec.-Sec., Mrs Hodgens; Cor.•Sec., Mrs Davis; Treasurer, Mrs Searia. Executive Committee—Miss A. Rumball, Mrs W. S. Harland, Mrs H. Foster and Mrs Geo. Doherty. The delegates to the aflnual meeting held at Mitchell were Mrs Pattison and Mrs W. S. Harland. A Suereise,—The Battle Creek, Mich., Daily Journal says : — Our townsman, R. D. Bayley, having just returned from bit wedding tour, his associates in the Young Men's Chris- tian Association of the M. E. church, planned and carried out a very plea- sant surprise. The rooms occupied by Mr. and Mrs Bayley on Marshal street, were crowded to their utmost capacity, but when W. W. Bridgen as president of the association, -rose to give the address of welcome and present the offering of the friends, the company found they could be quiet for a time. The speaker in a few appropriate words spoke the pleasure of the company in meeting the lady chosen'as the happy bride, also mentioning some of the difficul- ties the groom would likely encounter, and gave some very practical adyice. The response by Mr Bayley was ' re- ceived thoughtfully because of its truly christian tone. The presents were articles of furniture and silver- ware. Atter refreshments which were bountiful, and singing, the com• pany dispersed feeling that new friendships had been formed, which would add to the pleasure of each. BURGLARY.—The Hamilton, Da- kota,News thus refers to an attempted robbery of Mr Thos.Connell, (brother of Mr James Connell, of Clinton,) formerly of this neighborhood :—"On Tuesday night or early on Wednes- day morning, the hotel belonging to Mr Thornes Connell, at Hamilton, was broken into and an attempt made to rob the safe. Theburglars entered by the kitchen window and proceeded at once to the safe. The combination has not been working for some time and they got the• main door open easily and proceeded with bits, to pierce the inner door of the cash box. In this they had been so far successful as to press the door in, but owing to an inner wooden box, in which was the money, the door got jammed,and they would have got into it in another second or two, but apparently the robbers had been scared. Mr Connell's son bad been unwell and had occasion to come down stairs about two o'clock in the morning, when he found the kitchen door open, which he shut, thinking it had been forgot the night before. It is believed his coming down- stairs had scared the burglars although he did not hear nor notice anything at the time. The condition of the safe was not discovered until Mr Connell bad occasion to go into it the next morning. Mr Connell had sold abeut'8,000 bushels of wheat and the proceeds, about $4,000, were in the safe. Three strangers were seen lurking about the depot the previous afternoon and it is thought they were the g uilty, parties." TRIFLES. — More settled weather now. Potatoes are high, but will be lower, as they are being shipped here from Quebec Province,where they are a good erop. Person§ going to Blyth on Wednesday, were surprised to see snow lying in the fence corners and along the roadside ; there was quite a fall of it north, on Tuesday evening. The Brussels Budget, the 14th paper in the county, will Make its appear- ance this week. The Bayfield fall show—today—winds up the fair bu si- ness for this season—and we aro not one bit sorry either. The trees are leavings -not leaving town, however. Has the matrimonial boom expended itself or is there " more to follow." What euormous dimensions the apple trade has reached, and it is a line of business that is always profitable and can hardly be overdone. Mr and Mrs C. Cole have returned from their wed- ding tour and settled down to life's stern duties. Our " devil" jammed his hand in a Gordon press this week, and for a few minutes raised the very old Nick himself. Mr John Boles, who suffered a relapse, and was quite low for several days,is now improving. Mr Samuel Copp has entirely recov- ered from his illness,and is out again. Tho assizes will be held the latter part of this month. Weare informed that the orders for Doherty organs are con- siderably ahead of the supply ; a very encouraging sign for the Company. In municipal matters everything is as quiet as a cemetery. The Clinton Foundry could have disposed of near- ly twice as many Monarch threshers this year as they made, and will in- crease their output next year accord- ingly. We aro sorry to learn of the sudden death of the father of Rev. A. E. Smith, of Wroxeter, (formerly of Varner) which occurred last week. We have in type a communication relating to the action of the trustees of Ontario 5t. church in not holding their special services in the body of the churcb,but have with -held it from publication because it would do harm instead of the good the writer intend- ed ; we are assured that the church is not • in a condition suitable for the services, having been freshly varnish- ed. The Brussels Post thus,refers to a son of Mr P. Stiaith, of Clinton;— " Rev P. Straith's sermons in Knox church last Sunday were received very acceptably by the large congre- gation." Mrs Starts is visiting her daughter at (=uelph, ('apt. McPhail, of the Army, has gone to her home at Galt for a rest. 1� I,! XIX Fingering YarnsE Photograph; ALBTJMSI CHRIS. DICKSON, GLIN. 9CO:\T.
