beautiful white mantle, but only for
a few hours.
MRS. BllpwN, of Ashfield, daugh-
ter of•Mr. and Mrs. Thos. 0. Cooper,
and sister of Mrs. Wm. Young, is
visiting relatives in town. ,✓
A VERY largo number -ef` people
passed through Clinton to Gode-
rich, on Monday, to attend the
Assizes which commenced there
that day.
Ma. R. HAYwooD, the builder,
has a very much attached friend in
the form of a felon on one hand,
which he nurses in a sling. He
would sling it away if ho could.
Mr. J. H. Pipon, accountant of
the Hamilton branch of the Bank
of Montreal, and formerly of the
Goderich branch has been appoint-
ed to a position in the Montreal
branch.
THE Directors of the Melancthon,
county of Grey, Agricultural Society
have determined to pay for the pub-
lication of the list of prize winners
in the local paper. This is as it
should be.
A' HORSE , 42. YEARS QLD.—M1•.
A. Cutler, proprietor of the Imper-
ial Hotel, Galt, owns what he be-
lieves to be,—and eo far as is
known is the oldest. horse in the
world. --This equine was foalded in
the:year 1846, and has been owned
by. Mr. Cutler for 27 years.
CURIOUS CASUALTY.—A few days
ago a little child of Stephen
Thomas, living a few miles north of
Burford, while playing in a chair
that had the back pulled off, fell,
running one of the rounds of the
•chair-6acic up fis nostril with -such-
force as to cause it to come into con-
tact with the brain. Medical aid
was at once summoned, but the
little sufferer was past help, and he
died shortly after.
THE GOOD WORK GOES ,ON.—
Inspector Paisley and P. M. Wil-
Iiame,seem• to have been doing a rush-
ing business for some time past,
Hardly a day passes that a charge
is not laid or a convection made
for violations of the Scott Act.
In the County of Middlesex
business is also lively in the same
line. At Strathroy one. day last
•
week $1,100 in fines was imposed
for selling liquor in violation of
the Scott Act. If the hotel men
cease selling the shebeen men take
it up, and as the latter are irespon-
aible they do not care for fines and
if convicted generally skip and
some one else picks up the loose
strings. All of which goes to show
that Scott Act prohibition does not
prohibit. Liquor is sold right and
left and as only about one half the
fines ale collectable there is not as
much money received as under a high
license system, And law is brought
into contempt and society de-
moralized.
COME AND SEE Us.—We have
roceiveda letter from a ,tradesman in
a large city in Michigan asking us
what pro pest there would be for
his opening out in the
stove and house -furnishing hard-
ware lino in Clinton. He writes us
because a friend of his takes THE
NEws-RECORD, which he has often
read, and that a town with such
a paper in it (there is another
nearly as good a one here,
my friend) ought to have business
enough to support an exclusively
stove and house hardware business.
He assumes that thorn are none
such here. We shall send our in-
quiring friends a copy of this paper
and our answer is : We never
advise in such cases. The best
thing you can do would be to take
a run over here and see the place
for yourself. If your business was
the manufacturing of stoves, etc., we
would say at once that there was a
splendid opening here for such a
business, with skill and capital to
back it up.
THERE WA quite a Wind atorni
Sunday night► .and 'Monday morn-
ing, doing considerable damage to
trees, fences and wooden buildings.
BARB FENCE UTILITY.—"The
barbed-wire feneo" remarked. -the
tramp in the orchard, as he ceased
from swearing for the purpose
of inspecting the seat of war, "is a
cussed, lot more dishonorable in
the breeches than the observance."
JouIrNALlsTI0.-The second num-
ber of the Brussels Budget is to
hand, and is typographically very
neat. Editor Jenkins comes up
smiling as of yore and will no doubt
make matters interesting in hie new-
ly chosen constituency.
SWEET CIDER.—A Now Jersey
farmer says that cider will keep
sweet a dozen years if the following
recipe is followed : Put into a
barrel full of sweet cider a quart of
milk,.about a half a pint ofmustard
seed—the black seed—and six eggs.
Mix them up together and pour
them in the barrel.
BUSINESS appears to, be picking
up. Clinton dry goods and cloth-
ing men are always up to the tinges,
and even the sudden ,,change of
weather did not find them unpre-
pared. They have, very full stocks
for fall and winter wear, and as far
as our limited experience gods prides
seem to be lower than ever. If our
readers will take a loot, throughour
advertising columns before starting
out to make purchases they will find
announcements of the most reliable
firms.
NOT LIBELLOUS. -It will, doubt-
less, .interest many journalists and
politicians to know that an Essex
County jury has decided that it is
not libellous to call a Man a "hood -
ler." During the last provincial
contest the Amherstburg Bcho spoke
of on.e of its opponents as "Boodler
Fleming," and tho result was a
libel suit against Mr. Balfour of
that journal. There was no doubt
about the words having been need,
but the jurors held that they had
not the moaning, imputed to them
by the plaintiff{.:and found a ver-
dict for the deferident. And thus
the Grits have another " grievance
against the Courts alfa_ constituted
authority. The- . Grits will, have
to revise their . lexicon and invent
some harder words if they want to
slander the Tories.
NEWSPAPER SWINDLE.—A news-
paper that has to descend to the
chrome' or lottery prize business to
aid its circulation is hardly calculat-
ed to have any moral or intrinsic
worth. We are'. left to remark
thusly by learning' that 'the post
office'authorities li>3ve been instruct-
ed to.notify all portions desiring to
remit, money to Thos. .' Gardner,
Chicago,S
Chicago •Farm Journal;
or Farm Journal`Coo., Chicago; .I11.,
that the Postmrljter-general of Abe
United States leas issued an order
forbidding the delivery of reg ster-
ed mail matter, or the payment of
money orders to. the- newspaper' or
its owner. Some' fifty Guelph in-
vestors risked a dollar each in this
unique lottery scheme and there
are a few in this vicinity, and all
that they received in return was
one copy of the paper, and a so
-eal-led-souvenir-of-art, something in
thechromo lino.
AN INTERESTING THRESHING MA-
CHINE CASE.—Judge Sinclair de-
livered judgment at Hamilton on
Friday in the, suit brought by L.
D. Sawyer & Co. against Beattie
Glover, of Erin, for balance due 'en
the purchase of a threshing machine.
It will be remembered that the .de -
fondant purchased the machine for
$400, and gave three. notes in pay-
ment. He also signed an agree-
ment, stating that the machine was
to remain the property of the plain-
tiffs until all the notes were paid.
Shortly after the first note was paid
the machine was destroyed by fire.
Glover had it insured for $200 and
received the 'insurance money.
When the other notes became due
ho refused to pay' them, claiming
that the machine was not in exist-
ence, and that Sawyer & Co.. had
not given him any value for the
notes. His honor gave judgment
for the plaintiffs for $312.70 and
costs.
No JOKE oN, HEa.—On one of
the fine days of last week a lady
came down town to do some shop-
ping. She brought her ."yearling"
in a baby carriage which she loft at
a certain dry goods store while al e
went in to nig' o her purchases.
One of the cler'-.- in the store who
knew the mother well thought to
play a joke. So while she was
busy ho went out and wheeled the
carriage and baby into all adjoining
store. Though he was not aware of
it the lady had been watchin;, his
manoeuvres, and when she was
ready to go Koine she did so with-
out carriage or babe- Shortly after
"hubby" kicked up high jinks and
the joker clerk was sent for to take
hint away. And as the mother was
gond he was obliged to wheel baby
home, the youngster howling at the
top -_of his voice nearly the whole
of the way and advertising the sit-
uation much to the annoyance of
the clerk. When .he reached the
gate the mother came out and her
exclamation was : "Dear me, I for-
got a parcel, did' I4" and asshe saw
the youngster, "Olt, I thought it
was a spool of twist I had for-
gotten." It waa worse than a spool
of twist on the clerk.

at Stratford the following resolution
was carried almost unanimously:
"Resolved, that in the opinion of

much as it is uninteresting, discon-
nected, unintelligibte,contains many

THE STOVE SEASON.—I don't
feel well. I haven't felt well for
over a week. Amelia insisted on
putting up the stoves when the first
snow came. Wo went at it, Amelia,
two young Ricardos and their
father. I got my fingers jammed
trying to make a No. 6 pipe envelop
a' No. 7 ; about a pound of soot fell
into my left optic ; Amelia stuck
the broom handle into the other in
a mad endeavor to hold up her end -
and while I was playing blind man's
buts' about the house and Amelia
was mopping,tho cinders out of her
hair with a door mat, one of tho
young Ricardos plaintively whistled
the soul stirring refrain"Go fetch
the tinsmith man."—Ricardo
