ACOIDENT,—On Saturday last Mr Time. Walker, of town, had the mis- fortune to jab a pitch-corkin his thigh,while at work around his place. The wound, though not dangerous is a very painful one, and will confine him to the house for several days. POCKET BOOB LOST.—On Saturday laet, Mr Roderick Ross, of the 3rd con. of Stanley, had the misfortune to lose a pocket book in town, copn- taining about $40 and a note of 'aged for $110. Payment of the note has been stopped, and any one returning the lost property, will be suitably re- warded. VICARIOUS SUFFERING.—In one of the departments of Clinton Public School last week, a girl merited pun- ishment and was threatened therewith by the teacher. A boy in the same room offered himself as a substitute for the girl, and received the whip- ping intended for her, and went off laughing when it was through. SKIPPED.—A man named Freeman, who has only been a resident of town for a short time, managed to contract enough debts to make it worth his while to leave them behind, and he recently "skipped by the light of the moon.” He had bought a good stove of Mr S. Davis, on credit, and this 'person managed to get it back after the fellow left, although it bad been secreted somewhere. SNEAK THIEVING.—Beesley & Co. have lately been offering a Line of hosiery at very low prices, but not satisfied with this, some one was mean enough to steal some of them. A week ago laat Saturday a parcel of socks which Bung at the door was jerked off the hook, and one sock stolen. The parcel was sewed to= gether Stronger than before, and hung out again, and on Saturday last it was pulled down and a pair of socks stolen. HONORABLY ACQUITTED.—We re- cently made mention of the fact that Mr J. C. Morrison was arrested here on a charge of obtaining goods sunder false pretences at Berlin. His'aritest was due to the fact thathis late part- ner was the real`"culprit, but as he could not be found just at that time, Morrison war arred as -a member of the firm. We are leased to state thatthe partner 'Came forward and met the required obligations and Mor- rison Ware honorably aoquitted from all actual complicity with the affair. COW/MT.—The date of the concert to be given bTthe Beethoven Quar- tette Club. (under tbe auspices of the Home Circle) has been changed to the I5th inst. As mentioned last week, the club is composed of such well known musicians as Miss Hattie Morro!, soprano ; Miss Ethel Woods; contralto; bar Richard Sims, tenor; Mr Chas. Kelly, basso;' Mr James Fax, the moll known conic, and Miss Minnie Martin,aoeompanist.

THE LaADIi;G Torsi. — Clinton commends itself to those in quest of a deeiruble bneincae centre and pleasant and healthy place of abode for these amongst other Ieasons :—We have lively, honorable, energetic busine men la ill''buoineao, lines. It ,is th best market in Huron for everything -that a farm produces. It offers the very best advantages for manufac- turers. It offers the very beat advan- tages for those seeking a home. Our shurchea ars large, comfortable and well-filled. Our schools are as good as the best. Clinton is to the front in everything upon which depends the lnautuel welfare of her citizens. PROPERTY ClIANC4ES.—Mr J. i iclo- ett, who recently sold bis property outside of town, has bought of Mr Grigg a quarter acre lot on Welling- ton 'et>bet, to the rear of Mr Mc- Murchie's, paying therefore the sum of $250 ; he will build thereon in the spring. Mr D. Cantelon has sold to Mr Thos. Carter, of Goderich town- ship, a house and quarter acre lot on Erie street, at the very northern ex- tremity of the town, for $300. Mr Thos. Cottle has Sold his house and lot on Wellington street to Mr John McClacherty, of Bullett, for some- thing in the neighborhood of $1600; the pnrchaaor ban secured a snug pro- perty at 3 very reasonable figure. Mr Cotte Will build this year on the ad- joining lot. - HoRsl, NOTES.—Mr W. Tiplady offered A. May $190 for a five year old mare, hat week, but was not ac- cepted. Mr T. Farquharof the base line, sold a young gelding to Mr Sharp, of Seaforth, for the suns of $170.

Fortunately they were got on again without any difficulty or delay. ,ENTERTAINMENT—The attendance at the concert on Monday exeuing,on behalf of the Pigott Sistere, was not as large as anticipated, but thoee who were there enjoyed a musical treat that was worth considerably more than it cost. The Sisters are truly musical prodigies,and possess abilities of no mean order. CoarMITTED.—At the instance of the Singer Manufacturing Company, T. C. Edmonds was arrested, charge with embezzlenient, and at the pre liminary examivatioq, on Monday, sufficient was adduced to warrant his being committed for Wel. What will be bis defence we do not know, but we hope he may be able to show that the charges against him are un- founded. "AMUSEMENTS." this will form the topic of a lecture to be given in Rattenbury St. Methodist church, on Monday evening next, by Rev Dr, Shaw, of Toronto. There is room for a good deal to be said on this subject, and the reverend gentleman is well able to say it in the most entertaining and instructive manner. A silver collection will be taken up at the door. SCOTT ACT—The Police Magistrate went to Goderich, on Wednesday, to try a charge against Mr Bailey for alleged violation of the Scott Act,but the case had to be adjourned. He has, we believe, several cases on band for trial at Exeter to -day. The W.C. T. U. of the county has arranged with Rev Mr McKay, of Woodstock, to put in two weeks work in the county sometime in March. NEW PATENT.—Mr W. Doherty, of the celebrated organ firm of W. Doherty & Co., is an applicant for a patent covering a new invention of his own, which is termed " An auto- matic organ attachment, for prevent- ing the ingress of mice, vermin, dust, &c." It is described as something that will precisely " fill 'a long -felt want," and its value is reckoned by at least four big figures. We hope that Mr Doherty may realize "there's millions in it." COMING EVENTS.—On Friday even- ing, 24th inst., the Directors of the Mechanics' Institute will afford our townspeople an opportunity of enjoy- ing what we are sure will be a treat. At their request Mr Manning will give an address on 'A visit to West- minster Abbey,' and a choice pro- gramme of song and instrumental music will be presented. Mrs Rans- ford, Miss. Wilkinson, of Goderich, Mr Brewer, Mr Kay, Mr Jackson and others will take part. Mr C. Black- stone has 'kindly undertaken to fur- nish some first-class band music. We hope the evening will be kept clear, and that the efforts of the Directors will be rewarded by a large turn out. MODEL SCHOOL BOARD.—The re- gular meeting of the Board was held on Monday evening. On motion Mr Hine was re -appointed Secretary at a salary of $60. Mr Brown was re -ap- pointed caretaker at same salary as last year. Mr D. M. Malloch was appointed Inspector at a salary of $50.

The next county orange celebration will be held in Seaforth-the coming 12th July. To THE Tome COUNCIL.—Gentle- man of the town council, the proposi- tion to cover over the weigh scales has been brought up, more er less, for the last five years, and still they are un-• co ered. We have be doubt about r being mathematically correo't, nil, therefore, capable of Weighing right, but when the weigh -master is compelled to saw around the edges of the platform to free it from ice, every tim , anything is weighed, we don't wonder that farmers doubt the accur- acy of weights recorded. It is too late to do any thing this winter to pre- vent the scales being buried in snow everytime there is a storm, but for goodness sake make arrangements so that it will not happen another winter. DEATH of MRs MCNEtL,—The following, from a Grand Fork, Dak., paper,refers to a step -daughter of Mrs Long, of Clinton :-Mrs L. McNeil, of this city,diod on Saturday evening, of heart disease. She had been an invalid for the past two years,but the nature of the disease had not been considered serious until within a few weeks of her death. The end,though not unlooked for, came suddenly. She dined with the family on Satur- day and appeared to be in better health than for some time past. Feel- ing wearied she retired early. At 9.45 the destroying angel called her home. Mrs McNeil was born in Stephen township, Huron county, in 1811, and came to Grand Forks the same year, where she has since re- sided. She was an earnest cbristian woman, endeared to all who were favored with her acquaintance. She was greatly devoted to her husband and their bright little boy, aged six years, who is thus early called to lose his mother's care. v. Mesa Nellie Turnbull is visiting friends in Toronto.
