One of the sisters refused to reduce her rear annex and she was expelled', possibly for the reason that it is 'impossible for a- woman with a bustle 011 to squeeze tbrc ugll the gate of heaven sideways.

WITNESSESSiTov'r;n 11E PAID.-- llarriston 7'ril, nle : At Drayton Division Court last week, in the case of ilicl)onald vs.Wlath, Judge Chadwick decided that the inspec- tor 1s responsible for witness fee's and Mileage to all Scott Act wit Messes Served by him. The Judge considel;ed that it would he very unfair to dr,:g people over the coun- try without pay. This decision will likely result in a grist of suits being instituted by witnesses who have not been paid heretofore, Mr. P. M. Lowes contending that it rest- ed with him to grant pay to wit- nesses or not just as ho pleased, and he acted on his contention in a somewhat arbitrary manner, singl- ing out certain witnesses in a case and ordering payment of their fees, but peremptorily refusing to grant anything to others, It certainly looks reasonable that a man should receive something for his timo anti travel- ling expenses, { 1es/Y .Sl..i.:_ lifts..

EXPECT-ORATION.—The Walkerton Herald : Last Sunday a citizen walked into a Walkerton hotel and called for a "long." He enjoyed it so much, that 11e took several more. Ho did not offer to pay for his drinks, but when leaving laid a quarter on the bar, with the remark : "I've been spitting ou your floor ; get it scrubbed." • DEATH'S DOINGS.—On Monday 17th inst., an old and highly esteem- ed residenrof Clinton passed away in the person of furs.

There is con• sidorahle flax grown in this vicinity now and the quantity could be in- creased indefinitely were a twine factory in operation iu this section. The manufacture of oil from the seed would also pay. Both twine and oil is well protected. Wo have the raw material, wo have 'chipping facilities with still better in pros- pect; wo have the capital. Now `here is au opening for capitalists to get a handsome return for their money by working up schemes to make •oi-1., and •twine aird-money. ALAN Srior.—One day last week Mr. Cunningham of tho corner grocery was practicing with a re- volver at a portion of a packing case set- up against a barrel in the yard hack of his store. John Cot- ton hostler at Kennedy's hotel, was also practicing in the adjoining yard at a target taken from the wood pile. John was the better practical shot every tinge. Mr. Cunningham was, perhaps, it better fancy shootist, for though John was about twenty feet out of line with lir, Cunning - ham's target, Mr. C. managed to send a bullet against John's head, but on account of the loose felt bat and the ball being probably well spent John's crauium was not ser- iously injured, though there was a lump un it, about the size of a walnut, where a hole would have been but for the fortuitous circum- stances nlentioued. PEET, CI nixrr.—For the past three weeks we have been favored with the presence of Miss Gertie Dints: dale (who has keen holding forth in Clinton the past week) at our Ilollin appoiutfnent. Nightly and 011 the three Sabbaths our largo cllnrcll here has been well attended and frequently filled with attentive con- gregations. Her sermons and ad- dresses have been listened to with very deep interest, .:::,1 'her labors have initiated a rct-H,1! which, wo are persuaded, will result iu a great many conversions. Whilst as yet there has occurred no very goueral movement among the unconverted, yet thorn have been quite a number of clear cases of conversion. Tito church has veen drawn more closely together in brotherly love, and the tone of spirituality improved. Miss Dimsdale has loft us, carrying away our warmest admieation and esteem for her eminent qualities as an evangelist, and her humble, Christ - like deportment as a Christian. If her health will only enable her to bear the strain of her exhausting labors, she will bo exceedingly use- ful in her chosen vocation as an evangelist.— From the Christian Guardian, October 12th, 1887. 4•713:W s'I'oo= Oaf3' Berlin Wools and Fingering.• Yarns A.LI.

CHURCtI LAW,—There Was 0 moet- ing of the trustees of the Ontario Street Methodist Church on Mon - clay, when there came up 0 point in ecclesiastical jurisprudence. It was in connection with the powers of the Minister and the trustees, which had clashed last week. Rev. Mr, Howell, Chairman of the dis- trict presided• but way unable to decide, and referred the Matter to the general Superintendent for an official opinion. EARLY \\INrlath.—Mr. lizard, teacher, Woodstock, says that on the 28th September 1835 a snow storm covered the oats standing in the fields, and Mr. Boot.

CLISTON MARKETS.—Several wide awake farmers who have not been in the habit of coining to Clinton to market their grain and who are close readers of TliE News -Record, last wecic availed themselves of the better prices offered here. One Colborne farmer drove through Goderich with his barley and re- ceived eight cents a bushel more for it than he was offered else- where, and a brother farmer from the other end of Colborne drove fifteen miles, about double the dis- tance to his regular market town, in 'order to get the benefit of the ex- ceptionally good prices for farmer's produce in Clinton. Another one who does not usually market iu Clinton was drawn here by wetting five cents• a bushel more for his potatoes and another by getting three cents a bushel more for his peas. Although only some Half dozen of these rases cane under our observation during the week, there \131'0 110 doubt Tinny others of a similar nature WIN:, BEER AND Seutrrs.—Our friends who favor prohibition, even to wine and beer, would probably not aid us in the prohibition of the vast array of patent bitters contain - mg rt largo proportion Of aleoll ol, which, by a system of nlisVOL/Minn la - don in fraudulent advertisements, are alinost forced down the throats of thousands of people and do ten tunes inose harm 0011 do W1110 and beer. Thousands are deluded by such advertisements into taking, habitually indeed, " hop bitters„ and other such illegitimate Concep- tions when they could servo their purpose much better by taking some of the pure Canadian wine now produced, or good ale, containing less alcohol probably than the " bitters " or " cure " or " cordial." \Vo should bo glad to have these friends turn their attention to pro- hibition in regard to those nostrums, manufactnrr(1 for the purpose of drawing a fortune from the public.— Canada Health Journal.

SATURDAY was a glorious day and the weather was strongly indica- tive that old summer, though verg- ing alai111iugty close on the sere and yellow leat' of existence, bad yet vitality enough to gambol -iu all the wantonness of youthful May time. A greater nuulber of people were in town than on any Saturday for several 111011t118.

Proceedings were at once taken i 11101011 to by Mr. Lewis to have hint released under n writ of Habeas Corpus and in a few days Jailer 1)ixon, acting folder a telegraph from (he clerk or the court of Queen's Bench, released the prisoner.' Mr. Lewis has the credit of having issued the first 1[aheas Corpus ever served on Jailer Dixon and what is of more importance of being successful in his endeavors._ Ji5T a LITT1.11 DIFFICULTY.—For a week Or 11101'0 hast a young lady, Miss Diulsdale, wo believe, who cattle from. Seafurth.h(Isbeen Alt ducting special 'religious services in the • basement of the Ontario St. Methodist Church. Thursday night last site gave notice that she would discontinue"lir,"i idiivicca owing to the inappropriateness of the room, and atilt she had been refused the use of the mainbody of the building that was used by the regular congreglttion for religious worship. The trustees explained that the pews had boon but recently painted and varnished, which would be easily 'defaced, and they considered it inadvisable' to allow thenito bo used just then except for regular church, services. The lady exhorter said that her friends con- sidered the. pews of the church in a fit condition for use by saint or sinner. . A needless irritation has been caused over this matter. '.1'10 lady's friends say • that the best portion of the church is none too good to save souls, that the angels would give the best rooms in para• disc if they could bring but one erring sinner intoilio fold of Christ. Those who support the action of the trustees do not deny all that but say on the other hand that an earnest striver after the waters of life could find it as pure and sweet in the plainest as well in the "best" room, and that while undoubted damage would be Clone to• the new furnishings of the church. in their present inchoate state, the cause of Christ could be no better served there than in the hllsenlent. \Vn have been given to under. stand that at the show hell in Brussels 1ar:t week the ,judgr s on carriages, Ike., had 'very little to do, there bring only two wheelbarrows on the ground, one of which had been used during the °past sunlnler and the other was quite ne\v, elaborately painted, and looked well—at n distance—but upon ex, amination it was found, that the lire was set so closely to! the wood that one could hardly get his little finger in between the two, therefore the old harrow was awarded the prize. -1I iriphulnAdtran.ce. • h-.v.��...�... .....;i: .a To people who want to buy Overcoats this season we ask an inspection of our GREAT STOCK, which was personally selected iu the Old Country Markets.
