As soon as the stock is all subscribed 'agents will. call upon all tho victuallers for orders.

Hall's Journal of i-iealth :—Every sue who values good health should drink buttermilk everyday in warm weather, and let tea, coffee and water along. For the benefit of those who are not already aware of it I may add that in tho churning of it the first process of digestion is gone through, making. it the easiest and quickest of all things to digest. It mikes gastris juice and conlaius properties that readily 'assirrtilate with it with very little wear upon the digestive organs: MARKET DAYS. --Periodically we are reminded of. the necessity of our citizens taking some steps to urge the Council to fix two .1 iys of the week as market dor<, say Wed- nesday and Saturday.

LOCAL JOURNALS,—T118 town of Clinton can now, boa of four journ- als being published !thin its board- ers—two weekly and two monthly.

Box STALLS have been secured at "several stables in town by owners of stallions entered for• the great trot- ting races to coupe off on the Clintortr Driving Park on the 1st September. Tho annuals will likely be mads acquainted with the track here this week. Everything points to an in- teresting time ou the occasion. THE other day a lady wheeling a baby carriage got her foot in a hole in the sidewalk on Victoria street. The carriage was upset and the baby landed out. The lady could not extricate herself for some time and the wonder is that she or the child were not seriously injured. IIonnE MANUFACTURE8.—Some time ago there was talk of a factory being started in Clinton for the manufacturing of "binder" twine. The d.aarth of this universally used article this harvest has .suggested that thele is room for more factories. The demand for it will increase every year. Self binders aro being introduced in largo numbers, and it will be many years before the supply can eeival the demand. They must use twine. Why not make it in Ontarie as well as in Now Brunswick or tho States1 And if in Ontario why not in Clinton 1 It is said that the tow from our fax mills could be used in its manufac- ture. The town might be asked to give exemption from taxes to any company going into the nrauufaa- of it here. Those who have given the matter some considetation say there is money in it. .i.

Floody of Olipet, Miele, to Miss Addie Beecher, of the same place. In looking over our exchanges the other day we came across the followiug mention of the happy event in the Olivet News: "Tho bride was beautifully attired in cream albatross and satin, with -gloves to watch.; the groom iu black, with dark g over. Attendants were en tirely dispensed with. On the fol- lowing Friday evening a reception, given by the bride's family and the C41t1tcli, was held at the 'Parsonage, where the ltap:pv couple received the hearty congratulations of their many friends. The decorations were lieau- tilul and fitting for the occasion. Special mention deserves to be made of au arch of evergreens beautifully adorned with flowers, and, a white floral horseshoe itii:spended from the centre, underneath which appeared th:, happy pair. After the reception of all guests the party repaired to the parlors of the church where about two hunkered sat down to refresh- ments, the wedding party being wait cel on by the bride's Sabbath Schoo cies:. '111e pros( rats wore numerous/. and beautiful. This union affords much satisfaction to all parties eon- cernw1, and will do 111uc11 to draw closer the trends of love and friend• ship between the pastor and the chnrch for which he labors." In connection with tho ministerial labors of Mr. Floody we learn, that they al- so have borne good fruit. During the winter a.iventy souls, at revival meetings tinder his ministrations, 'wore converted to a knowledge of the illimitable love of the blessed Savior by the presence in their hearts of that grace which passed' all under. standing. The many friends of Mr. Floody in this section, ourselves among the number, cannot but feel' gratified that the hopes expressed in those columns, when the gentleman left here some tlireo years ago, have been in such a large measure fulfilled, And now that he has taken unto him- self .apartner, whc, by the way, is a near relative of the late Henry Ward Beecher, one may expect that Mr. Moody will not only not cease 1E1 well doing brat that, with the counsel and support of a better half, he will be found a firmer and stronger and more successful than ever member of tlio church militant. It is under- stood that Mr, and Mrs. Floody and Mrs, Beecher will visit Clinton some time in September § § § § § §_ § § § §-§-§-§ TSE § § §§ § § §'T DSA 00000000000000000000000000000000000f7000000000000000000000000000000O0.0o• 000000000000000000000000000000oO000O0000000000000000000000000000000000 tairansurzusaimen cramaimasellarsciairivezzwasiaawaguna § . . § §r §-fi"_'TT- It essoneememsenneall OTJR FIRST SHIPMENT OF New oogs! per SS.
