Myo 4r r Foillly. -- Mr, Roderick
Ross, of•Stanley, whose. loss of money
was 'advertised in our last issue, was
fortunate enough to 'find 'We same,
buried in the snow, in a yard at
A Brucefield, where he had stopped, on
hie•way home.
THE 'WEIGH :SCALRs.—In response
to the •advertisement asking . for ten-
ders for the weigh•scales, two were
received, one from Mr T. Palterman,
at.$50 05, and one from Mr Robert
Welsh, at $51. The tender of the
latter was accepted.
E;xrxosloie.-The other day while
Messrs H. Foster and S. W. Perry
were.oxperimentingwith chemipals in
thenishing rooms of the former,some
gas was accidentally ignited, rued a
tremendous. explosion occurred, glass
jars and other apparatus which they.
were' using, being blown to atoms.
Very fortunately no other damage
was done.
CONOERT.—+The concert given by
the Beethoven .Quartette Club, on
Wednesday evening, was well attend-
ed, the hall being filled, and if there
was one in the audience who did not
enjoy the. -programme, it must be be-
cause he is so constituted that enjoy -
mentis impossible. Mr Kelly, always
a favorite, was rapturously received,
while Mr'Fax, in his comic special-
ties, ,made people laugh till their
sides ached. 'The ladies of the party
are sweet siugers. and Mr Richards
completes splendid quartette.

7111E -Six • O'CLOCK BELL.— The
council has thought it wise to,discon-
tinue the ringing of the town bell at
6 o'clock, in the morning. In so doing
we do not think .they have displayed
good:judgment, because more people
in town govern .themselves by the
__bell at this hour, - than, at any other
time of the day, and •we are satisfied
that cpnsiderable inconvenience • will
be experienced by those who have
trusted to the bell to awaken them in
the morning. A petitldn- is in c'rau-
lation, asking the council to- have.the
bell rang again. -
THE :SCOTT ACT AssooIATION.—
The Executive Committee of the Scott
Act Association held a:ureeting here
on Friday last,and.decided to at once
proceed with the work of organizing
the temperance forces for, the contest
likely to take place about the middle
of April. It is feared that the irre-
gularities of the petition will be over-
looked and a vote upon it•brought on
about that•time,.and the ,tei perance
people do ant propose to be caught
unprepared. The committee are now
communicating :with leading prohi-
bition workers .an the various munici-
palities, and arranging for public
meetings• to be held and local organi-
zations to be re-formed and got in
readiness for active work..

"AxesemENTS." — The flecture in
Rattenbury street Methodist church,
on Monday evening, by the Pitev. J.
Shaw, of Toronto, on 'Amusements,'
was attended by a good audience, and
all were interested as well as pleased
by the remarks. He took the ground
that amusements (recreation of one
kind or another) were a necessary
part of human nature, and following
out' the old adage that ' all work and
no play made Jack a dull boy,' he
showed than eopleIlio'took a rea-
sonable amount of recreation had
their faculties sharpened, and were
able to do more work than people
who follolved work altogether. He
disapproved of certain forms of am use-
ment, and showed' the line beyond
which it was neither prudent or right
to go. His illustrations frequently
produced laughter, but there was
nothing flippant in either hie style or
matter. The pastor, Rey. i . 8. pm -
ed the chair,
ROBBERY, A Buffalo te:egr
says :—George Reynolds, a Canadian
lad of 19, was employed last Saturday
as clerk in the gents' furnishing store
of Stein & Co.. On Monday. C.
Davis, a country storekeeper, visited
Stein's; made some purchases and to his hotel, where he noted
the loss o1 bis pocket -book containing
$100. It seems Reynolds got 'hold of
Wand at once crossed the river. e
was arrested at Fort Erie, 'Ont., on
. Tuesday night, and had the pock t -
book in bis possesslsra,• He returned
voluntarily, and has been .locked up

PRESENTATION. — On Thursday
evening of last week the teachers and
officers of Rattenbury street Sabbath
School enjoyed a social re union in
the school room, but the real o ' t
of the gathering was apparent ..w n
the Superis tendent Mr Jas. Thomp-
son, who has occupied hie posit' n
for ten years, was made the recipient
of a silver'tea,aervice. ,1 r J. C..S -
venson, as one connected with the
school ever since its formation, nearly
30 years ago, made a few remarks to .the pre>entation, to
which Mr Thompson made a very
feeling reply. The organist of the
school -for nearly the.same length of
time, Miss Anna Holmes, was also
the recipient of a beautiful dressing
.case and album, which were so n-
.iirely unexpected that it was a few
ascends before she could ?&nd wordsin
which to express her thauks.

IaMP.Rovumur v —Notwithstanding
the hard times.business men are im-
proving, their premises. All the stores
in Seerle:s block are now undergoing
internal changes. In Cooper's store
a large rofrig.gerator is being put in to
keepperishablegoods; it was manufac-
tured by J. Dayment; in S. Wilson's
the counters are being altered, and
extending the shelving; and the same
changes are being made in Plum -
steel's.
BANK BILLS.—Persons not know-
ing that the Federal Bank and Cen-
tral Bank bills are quite good, are
apt to refuse them. Bills of both
these banks are taken readily at par.
The following is from the Monetary
Times: It is pot as well known as it
should. be that the Banking Act ex-
pressly protects bill holders. It care-
fully guards the safety of the circulat-
ing notes by making them a preferred
claim. To this extent the hank cir-
culation of Canada is a seeir4*Weur-
rency.
SCOTT ACT IN HURON,—The fol•
lowing occurs in the Ottawa notes of
Tuesday's dailies :—Argument on the
Huron county Scott Act revocation
-petition was heard by the Deputy
Minister of •Justice to -day, Mr Scott,
Q. C., appearing for the temperance
party and Mr (iemmill for the antis.
Mr Scott did not press the technical
objections very strongly,but question-
ed the genuineness of some of the
signatures and whether they were
those of electors. Mr Power will re-
port his decision to the.Secretary of
State.
A LONG CMASE•—A certain resi-
dent of town, whose front name is
Thomas, had some meat hung up in
his shed, which he was preserving
for future consumption. While work-
ing around the house one day last
week, he heard a noise in the shed,
and,,,,ilurrying around got there just in
time ldsee a dog bolt off with a large
chunk 'of meat. The dog made off at
a lively gait, with the man following
in the rear,and after a chase of nearly
a mile the dog saw that it was likely
to lose its game, so it buried the meat
in the ,snow and then disappeared.
The man,however,had seen its action,.
and managed to recover the meat. •
No Hauler DONE.— On Tuesday
afternoon last Mr W. Doherty and a
friend had a little experience which
might have resulted seriously, had it
not been for the skilful management
of Mr Doherty and the good qualities
of the mare behind which they were
riding. The parties were.out together
enjoying a drive, and while going
down the London road at a 2.40 pace,
one of the irons holding the shafts to
the cutter snapped in two. For a
.moment things looked decidedly un-
comfortable, as it was no easy matter
to bring a flying horse dowu in speed,
but Mr Doherty was equal to the oc-
casion; and succeeded ' in stopping
without the slightest further injury.
HORSE NOTES. —Last week Mr Jac
Crich, of Tuckersmith, (as good a
judge of horseflesh as lives in the
township) bought from Mr E. Turner
a breeding mare for which he paid
the BUM of $300. Messrs Cook ship-
ped a car load of horses from this
place to Indiana on Tuesday. Mr
NGeo. Green, of Goderich township,
has some notion of going to France
te,import a pure 'bred Percheron stal-
lion. Mr Robt. Martin, of the Lon-
don road, has disposed of his well-
known stallion, Gallant's Model, a
gentleman near -Ailsa Craig being the
purehaser. Mr Martin has also pur-
chased a heavy draught mare, five
years old, from Mr Carlton, of East
Wawanosh, paying therefor the sum
of$1,000; it is a large, well•propor•
tioned animal, and was only imported
last fall.
ACTUAL ACREAGE or THE TOWN.—
Some difficulty having been exper-
ienced by the Equalization Committee
of the County Council in arriving at
the correct acreage of the county, it
was decided at the last meeting that
the original Crown Lands and Canada
Company's surveys would be taken
,as the basis of assessment. It is
thought by some, that this will not be
legal, but it is nevertheless the plat
decided upon by the committee this
year. Mr Adamson requested Reeve
MaeMurchie to procure the actual
acreage of the town•ofClinton, and
after considerable research he has
succeeded in doing so. In the original
survey of Clinton, 496 acres were
taken from the township of Goderich,
172 from Tuckersmith, and 237 from
Rnllett, making a total of 905 acres
within the corporation limits. From
this amount should be taken the
streets, which will leave about 860
acres, more or lees, as the net acreage
of the town.

THE many friends of Mr W.Marten
(and they are legions in the counties

Mn E. Doherty, who recently went
into business at Hamilton, has retired
therefrom, his business connection
not being up to his expectation, and
he will again go on the road, this

seems to be " on the- road,'' and he
makes things hustle tlere.

screwed down to its lowest tension.
MR Albert Holloway, instead of
going into business at Leamington,as
he intended, bas bought out the
estate of the late Mrs Fischer, and
will carry on the business here, His
announcement appears in another
column, and we have no doubt but
that he will receive a portion of the
trade. Mr M. Fischer has the offer
of several good situations.
The leasee of the Grand. Union, Mr
Chas. Malone, of Alvinston, failed to
complete his negotiations therefor,
even after part of the writings were
drawn up, and the house will remain
under the management of Mrs Mor-
ley, who has succeeded in establish-
ing.a first-class house of accommoda-
tion. Our readers will be pleased to
know that the house is to remain un-
der the same management.
Tan Hamilton, Dakota, News,tbus
gives a well-known Huronite a lift:
" Mr Thomas Connell and his lady
arrived home last Friday night, from'
their visit among friends in western
Ontario—he says he would consider
himself rich on a farm of 160 acres in
the Red Riuer valley, in North Da-
kota, compared with the best farms in
Huron and Bruce counties. Tom
runs 4 or 5 farms of 160 acres around
Hamilton and threshed some 12,000
bushels of wheat last fall, which will
net hint at least $8,000."
MR A. McD. Allan, of Goierich,
President of the Fruit Growers' As-
sociation, returned-, from the winter
meeting, which was held at Ottawa,
last Saturday night, In conversation
with a representative of this paper,he
said he never knew so much interest
to be taken in the fruit question as at
present. The meetings at Ottawa
were very largely attended, and par-
ticularly in reference to the export
ness thoroughly
for continued
sling of fruit,

ENDORSED BY AN Ol'PDXENT.—
' You know I'm a Conservative,' re-
marked a business man of town the
other day, 'but I certainly do object
to the attempt,: to remove Mr Coats
from the clerkship, simply because
he's a Grit. Every one who bas any
business dealings with him knows
that the work of the town is well at-

is no delay about anything. He has
got everything at hie finger ends, -and -
to my mind it was a decidedly im-
proper thing to introduce politics into
the council. Do I think it was done
as a matter of economy. --not very
much I don't. I'm afraid my own
