CARNIVAL—There was a fair crowd
of spectators at the ice carnival on
Friday evening last, but the number
in costume was very small, doubtless
owing to the heavy storm.
No NAME.—A communication con•
corning East Wawanosh Literary So-
ciety matters is omitted because the
writer of it did not send their name
with it. When wilt people learn that
newspapers will not insert communi-
cations unless they know who they
are sent by.
DEFYING MEDICAL AUTHORITY.—
There is a youth in town who is laid
up with a case of double pnuemonia,
and at one time his breathing reached
60 a,minute. The singularity con-
nected with this is in the fact, that
medical authorities used to teach that
no patient whose breathing reached
50 could live. Yet this youth's ex-
ceeded that and he still lives, with a
prospect of getting better.
'Pie Toronto News does an injustice
te, chis place by narrating in its coins
wercial neve, the recent swindle of
dry goods men by a couple of.youthe,
and locating them at Clinton instead
of Dungannon. The error was doubt-
less unintentional, llut nevertheless
o annoying.
OUTSIDE SCHOLARS.—Those h ho
think the Collegiate Institute does
not get many pupils from outside of
town should go down to the station
any Friday afternoon and they will
find a Large number of young people
of both sexes, with school books un-
der their arms, anxiously waiting for
the north or south treins. And be-
sides these many who reside some dis-
tance from town, stay here for the
entire term.
HARD TRAVELLING.—A commer-
cial traveller from London, who was
- trying last Saturday to reach Londes-
boro from this place, by sleigh, had a
hard experience, owing to the drifted
and heavy condition of the roads. At
one point the sleigh was upset, the
trunks and occupants being dumped
in the snow..After reloading and
proceeding a short distance another
lurch in the snow caused the tongue
to break, and it was only by the in-
genuity of the driver that they were
able to reach Londesboro at all. The
traveller should include $5 extra in
his expense account for his experience
on this occasion.
EJECTED FROM THE HOUSE —The
other day a man who had been a wit-
ness in a Scott Act trial, at a place
out of town, called at the residence of
Police Magistrate Dr Williams and
demanded that some fees be paid him
then and there. The P. M., seeing
that the man was at the time under
the influence of liquor, quietly told
him they would not be paid now, and
asked the man to leave his house.
This the witness bluntly refused to
do. The Doctor then ordered him
out, saying it was his private house,
and he did not propose to be insulted
as the man was doing, on his own
place. On the man refusing to leave,
the Doctor caught him by the shoul-
ders and pushed him outside, the fel-
low slipping down in the snow. The
Doctor then reached over the man to
pick up his hat which had fallen''when
the obstreperous witness caught him
and tried to pull bin down, not sue.
ceediug, and the Doctor then picked •
his assailant up and lifted him off the
premises.
SNOW AND THE RAILROADS. —A
few years ago snow storms such as we
Lave been experiencing this month,
were a serious matter on the Grand
Trunk Railway, and particularly that
section of it between Stratford and
Goderich, because of the number of
cuttings there are. Then a heavy
storm meant a blockade, and cessa-
tion of traffic for one or more days.
But all this is obviated now by the
use of sno,v fences—that is seven foot
fences erected to break the force of
tonne where hitherto' the snow
collected' most. Of course cuttings
still fill up, but nothing ljke what
they did before these fences were
built. Railway superintendents who
used to bo filled with alarm at the ap-
proach of a heavy snow storm, and
consequent impediment to travel, can
flow Bit in their snuff n1R.-• and cmila 1
eomplfiCently as they think that a
storm,at worst,only means a few hours
delay,
THE HAYFIELD SCRAPE.—That the
authorities have not been idle in try-
ing to bring to justice those persons
recently concerned in tite assault on
the Scott Act constables at Bayfield,
is shown by the fact that an attempt
was made to arrest the ringleaders,on
Monday night, but unfortunately
without success. Acting under in -
emotions, County Constable McKay,
of Goderich,Youhill and Mclver,pro-
ceeded.to Bayfield, on Monday even-
ing at about 10 o'cleek,with warrants
for the arrest of those mainly con-
cerned in the affair, but wind of their
coming had evidently preceded them,
at not one of the parties could be
found. The chief assailant of the
constables was one who was known
to be. over. only on. a. visit, and-it.wp.s
feared that he would skip immediately
after the affair,which ho seems to have
do's'e: The remainder were secreted
somewhere out of reach, and for the
time being eaeaed the service* of the
warrants. But if these par

STEALING.—The Huron Medical
Association met in Seaforth, on the
17th Jan., and the NEw ERa of that
week reported the same. The Seaforth
Sun only contained a report of the
meeting held in its own towns last
'Week, and this was Copied`froni the
NEW ERA. The.. Sun apparently
knows a good thing when it sees it„
and knows where to find it, too.
STRUCK BY A SNOW PLOW.—On
Saturday morning last a snow plow
on its way to Goderich, when about
two miles from that plaee, struck a
man named Robert Johnston, wbo
was walking on the track, injuring
him about the legs, but not seriously.
It was snowing at the time, hence the
difficulty of seeing him. He was
taken to Goderich, where his injuries
were attended to.
RESPECTFULLY DECLINED.— Not
long since a delegation of Goderich
business men waited upon Mr R.
Irwin and asked him if he would buy
grain in Goderich, on condition that
they put up an elevator for him. He
respectfully declined, telling them
that his interests were all centred in
Clinton, and to buy in Goderich
would be to divide his interest. If
they would move Goderich down to
the hub he would be quite glad to
accommodate them.
INSANE. — On a recent Sunday
while attendingchurch a farmer of
Underwood, in Bruce Co., who had
hitherto been of perfectly sound mind,
manifested unmistakeable symptoms
of insanity. He was taken care of 1
by his friends,but became so bad that
it was necessary to remove him to the
Asylum at London, which was done
on Tuesday last. He was in charge
of two men, and when near Exeter
became very violent and unruly and
it was with the greatest difficulty that
be was restrained from doing some
damage.
OFFERED TO A CLINTGNIAN.—It
may interest Clintonians particularly
to know that the position of cashier
of the now celebrated Central Bank,
of Toronto, was originally tendered to
Mr Lough, late manager of the Mol -
sons Bank, here, but for some reason
or other, was not accepted by him.
Had he taken the position the out-
rageous rascality that has been expos-
ed lately, would never have occurred,
for he was one of the most prudent,
cautious and trustworthy men that
ever had to do with the management
of any monetary institution.
PosstnLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A
Toronto despatch says :—Mr George
Eyvel, the well known stenographer,
fell on the street in Toronto Friday
night, and was stunned by the fall.
He lay for some time when he regain-
ed consciousness. Finding that ho
was being badly frozen he made his
way to the nearest house and was
taken home. Both his bands were
frozen stiff, and it is feared he may
lose them. [Mr Eyvel is well known
in Huron, having taught school for
some time in Turnberry, and his
friends here sincerely hope that his
accident may not turn out as serious
as anticipated.
THE OUTSIDE ROADS. — Persons
whose business confines them to town
have no idea of the difficulty exper-
ienced by farmers in reaching town,
and more especially those who are
any distance away.• The recent storm
has filled up the roads entirely, more
especially those running north and
south, and when it becomes necessary
for rigs to pass one another, it has to
be done with the utmost caution,
otherwise tbere is a tip over. The br

very bad condition, and calls for some
work by the pathmaster of that divi-
sion, without delay. By actual count
79 pitch -holes are to be found in that
short distance,and some of them holes
of no small dimensions. One farmer
coming to town the other day passed
no less than nine loads that were
either upset or stuck in the snow.
STRONG OPINION.—We have a let-
ter from a former Clintonian, now
resident in Manitoba, who, notwith—
standing the fact that he was one of
the stiffest Conservatives when here,
expresses his condemnation of the
Dominion Governmentin such strong
terms that if we were to publish it,
some ot our Conservative readers
would almost feel like mobbing us.
However,wbat be says about markets
will be of general interest, being as
follows:—" I am drawing ont barley
at 32 ets.—a very fair price. The C.
P. R. can't get away half of the grain.
If there was better railway accommo-
dation, our grain would be worth
more ; the buyers can't get cars and
they won't bid for a load. It will
take the C. P. It. all summer to get
the grain out. It's a poor way to go
to market with a load of wheat; they
will look at it, and say, ' it's very nice
grain, we'll give you 50 cents for it,
storehouses are full, no cars, whereas
if there was lots of cars we'd giro
more for it,' I have known barley to
tali to cents a bushel just because
cars could not be got to ship it."
DISPOSAL OF SCOTT ACT FINES. —
Some people are particularly zealous
in circulating a report that Scott Act
fines levied in the West Riding are
deposited in the bank to the credit of
the License Inspector. We have be-
fore shown that this is not so, as the
money ham always been deposited to
the credit of the License Commis-
sioners. Mr Paisley had no more
control over it than any one of our
readers. However, now that the
trouble between the County Council
and the Commission•ns has beou
amicably settled, the fines will here-
after be deposited with the County
Treasurer, and thus create a fund to
be known as the Canada Temperance
Act 4.10,, Whatever monies may ac-
cumuli/6_
this fund will be used
ter the sole purpose of meeting calls
that inayhrlse by way ofthe`enforce.
ment of the Act, and will not bo used
for any other purpose, so long as the
Act remains in force. Even if there
is a surplus after payment of' ordinary
pensee, it will not be used for the
yex .enses of the county, Qf
