A SPRAINED Foca.--The other day
as Miss Fowler,Onta•rio St., was leav-
ing the house, a mietep caused her
foot to turn .over on one side, and
she gave her ankle such a severe
wrench that she Sias -since been con-
fined to bed.
FARM SkLD—Mrs Oliver, 'Of towh,
has sold her 200 acre farm, in the
township M East'Wawenosh, to Mr
Robt Johnston, of that township, for
the sum of $6,690. The farm is a
good one.but the liriee would indicate
a heavy depreciation in land value?.
DlsLooa r D: On Tuesday even-
ing Mr 13. f11utley and daughter were
' coming home from Bayfield,in a light
;waggon , the -daughter driving, when
Ia too sudden turn csused the waggon
to upset,both being thrown out, Mr
Mnlloy falldng on his shoulder. It

meg*;lsrP.ME.—To ehow,the 'elite!.
prise andpush of scree of W. Doherty
& Co's agents, it is only necessary to
say that the editorials in last week's

were copied in other papers, and the

STILL IMPROVING.—The Brussels
Post has always been a good local pa-
per, and under its present manage-
ment has made marked progress. Mr
Kerr has still further shown his de-
termination to keep ahead of the
times, by enlarginggthe Post, it, last
week, coming out cnnsiderably larger
than heretofore. The Post is -really
too good'a•paper for a place the size
of Brussels, its publication implying
the outlay of a lot of money, and in
their own interests the people of
Brussels should give -the Posta cordial
imeleinanimous. support. .
ORDERED OUT OI THE PLACE.—
Last
LACE:Last week Mr 13. Stewart, of this
place,was sworn -in as aspecielseouniy
.,constaltle, and his first duties were to
serve suu5monses on the Varna and
Bayfield hotel keepers for violation of
the Scott Act. He started out on
Friday, and performed bis mission at
Varna, but information of his coming
bad preceded him to Bayfield, and
wheta he.arrived at that place, he was.
met by a. •mob,who threatened pen
sonai violence 1 he attempted to
serve., .a summons. Being alone and
unarmed, he thought discretion the
better part of valor,and he came back
to town without serving a solitary
summons. We do not know if the
authorities intend to allow this high-
handed ,proceeding to gu unnoticed,
but it will •be.a shame -and disgrace if
they de.

FOOTBALL.—An exciting game of
football was played on the the High
School grounds between the Model-
lites and the Senior High School
teams,on Tuesday evening, resultin
in one goal for the Modellites in 1i
minutes, and the High School bad
the best of the last half. The next
more will he for one of the teams to
challenge Seaforth. May success at-
tend them. A football match took
place' last Thursday between a picked
team from the town and the High,
School Eleven. The first gqal was
taken in five minutes by the High
School team, and in fifteen minutes
twoemore were added. No other game
was made by either team, leaving the
score 3 to 0 in favor of the High
School. The High School team has'
not been beaten this year, which is a
pretty 'good record.
Tun COLBORNE ROAD.—The De-
puty -Reeve was able to announce on
Monday night to the Council, that
every thing had been done by the
Council of Goderich township which
was necessary to complete their part
of the bargain in regard to the new
road to Colborne. Clinton has now
carried out its agrgement by voting
the $100 promised towards the road.
All that now requires to be done is to
have a by law of the County Council
passed, confirming the township by
laws, and the matter is closed. De-
puty -Reeve Manning modestly gave
considerable credit, which was tin:
doubtedly deserved, to the Reeve and
Mr Racey, for work in connection
with this road, but to no one is more
credit due for the success of the
undertaking than to the Deputy-
Reevr"' elf. He has given much
timetion to securing this

concerning tun business in this coun-
ty :—The total number of suite enter.,
ed in the 12 courts of the county,was
779, of which the largest num* in
afo thp888; the total amount of cls ins
sued for was $30,860, of which Clin-
ton court had the largest single
amount, $10,028'; 46 judgment euni-
menses were issued, and 7a suits
were entered. The Court at Blyth
was only opened a comparatively
short time ago, yet in number of suits
entered it stands 6th on the list.
NOT As BAD AS SUPPOSED.—Mon-
day's Globe contained a short account
of a collision on the C. P. R., near
Rat Portage, wherein the engineers
and drivers of both trains were said
to be seriously injured. The name of
one of the latter given was R. G.
Emerson. .As this person happened
to be a former resident of Clinton,and
brother-in-law of the publisher of this
paper; it was natural that consider-
able uneasiness would be experienced,
and this was only allayed when a tele-
gram was received on Tuesday morn-
ing stating that he was not seriously
hurt. One of the engine•drivers was
killed by the accident, and both
engines totally wrecked.
IMPRISONMENT. --Some time ago a
man named Flannigan, of Dungan-
non, was fined for violation of the
Scott Act. Be was given a reason-
able time to pay his fine, but did not
do it, and on Thursday last Constable
Paisley went out with a distress war-
rant; finding no goods upon which
to levy, the constable arrested Flan-
nigan and took him to Goderich jail,
where he will remain for two months
in default of paying his fine. Mr
Whaley, of this place, who was some
time ago fined fbr illegal selling on
the race track here, was taken to
Goderich on Monday, for two months,
he having neglected to pay his fine;
he claims exemption from imprison-
ment on the ground of ill -health, but
is still there, nevertheless.
FARM NOTES.—Our farmers have
had the best of weather for fall work,
and favorable accounts are heard of
its progress from almost all parts of
the country. The'rain•fall has not
been sufficient to keep the pastures in
first rate condition, especially after
the scorching August weather, and
the land was not very workable. But
a large area has been ploughed for
,next spring's crops. Roots are being
secured in good condition, and farm
improvement has made fair progress.
:The season could not be more favor-
able fordrainagge„operations and for
clearing` up liind and if less progress
has been made than seems desirable
in respect to such improvements it is
solely owing to the lack of means.
The poor harvest and the low prices
have conjoined to give many farmers
the experience of se pitirli, and it
seems like,y that little, improving -
work
work has been undertakn beyond
what farmers have been able to ac-
complish with their own hands.
FIRE.—At about three a. m. on
Sunday morning,a fire was discovered
in the building on Albert street, oc-
cupied by Mr F. E. Corbett, as a
woollen goods store. The stock was
.of..a-.particularly-combustible nature -
and the fire made such headway that
nothing' whatever could be saved in
this building. Adjoining it was the
house of Mr E. Dineley, and the
larger part of the contents of this
building were removed before the fire
had taken hold of it. The fire engine
was out early and did good service in
preventing the spread of the fire to
adjacent buildings. As all these were
frame, it was feared that a very ex-
tensive fire would at one time be the
result, but such was not,•fortunately,
the case: Afterr the engine first got:
to work the fire was confined mainly
to the building occupied by Mr Cor-
bett, and at about four o'clock seemed
to be entirely tiniler control, and
Many of the sfiectators went home;
thinking the affair was over, but the
firehad got inside the sheeting or
Dinsley's house, and-all,,the efforts
of the firemen to save this building
were futile. Mr Linsley had an in-
surance of $400—$200 each—on his
buildings, and Mr Corbett's stock was
insured for $2000.
YITROL THROWING.—A press des-
patch says :—Miss . McMurchie, one
of the lady teachers in the Norwich
Public School, a position which she
has filled to the great ,satisfaction of
the ratepayers of the town for the
past four years, was the victim of a
rascally attempt at disfiguration. On
Friday evening, as was her custom,
the young lady went down to the post -
office for her mail and was returning
about fifteen minutes past seven. Just
as she crossed Court street a man,
whom she had not previously noticed,
and who, she thinks, had concealed
himself in the shade of the fence,
faced her and threw directly at her
head a quantity of yitrol, probably a
pint, judged by the marks upon the
sidewalk and grass; which is badly
burned for a full yard in length.
Fortunately for the young lady, she
was wearing for the first time this
season a fur coat and cap to match.
The collar of the coat was turned up,
thus affording very complete protec-
tion. As the scoundrel threw the
vitrol from the vessel she dodged her
head, thus escaping the full effect of
the attack in the face, the contents
largely passing over her right shoul-
der, the ballance falling upon the
shoulder and collar of her coat and
slightly upon her right cheek and
ear. For the moment she thought
that it was a mere joke of some friend
throwing watir upon her, and turn•
ing to ask the scoundrel why he had
done that she felt the burning sensa-
tion. Her voice failed her and she
hurried into the house of Mr S.Allen,
where the acid was washed from the
face and lard immediately applied.
Search was immediately made for
the assailant, but thus far no arrests
have been made. Suspicion points
very strongly in certain directions.
Mise McMurchie, who is one of the
most highly -esteemed young ladies of
that town and a member of the Pres-
byterian Church, is wholly at a loss
to account for the assault. She bas
not an enemy that she knows of and
cannot imagine any ground therefor.
At first it was supposed that the
vitrol had been designed for another,
but g maturer judgment is in favor of
the idea that her assailant knew well
whom he' was attacking. [The lady
above referred to is a sister of Reeve
McMurchie, of Clinton. She tele-
graphed for him to go down on Tues-
day.]
c
Aoo;pENT, Op Wednesday M�
. Baer met with a very painful noel -
dent while at work at McKenzie
planing shop. He was engaged in
using the Shaper, when by some
means his right band slipped beneath
the tool and wag instantly cut to the
hone. It will -lay him up for some
time, -
VERY PAR ASTRAY.—We are very
glad to be able to believe that as a
rule our esteemed cotem,`the Exposi-
tor, has a much better foundation for
its articles than it had last week in
reference to a local church difficulty.
The article in question was as unfair
and erroneous as it could possibly be.
The parties immediately concerned
having come to an honorable under-
standing, and the whole trouble being
thus ended, the pester and trustees
very properly refuse to be drawn into
a controversy.
SCOTT AOT—On information laid by
Inspector Paisley, John Marten; of
Dunganuon,and R.DeLong,of PortAl-
bert, were up before the Police Mag-
