Joyner bad the mis- fortene to break her leg. In going out otthe house she stepped into a hole made by a horse's foot, and fall- ing over", her leg snapped like a pipe stem. rUMPS.—Mr John Ross, of this town, turned out during last year, 'about 276 of his well-known pumps, and he expects to increase upon the number this year. He bas enquiries from as far away as Sault Ste. Marie, which shows that his work Must give satisfaction. PUNISHABLE. — The other night some half -a -dozen youths were de- tected in pulling out the packing from the journals of several freight cars at the station here, and using the Mule fox a bonfire- The company will have punished -all who are guilty of this in the future. HURT HER HEAD.—The other day, as Mrs A. 0: Pattison was putting away some clothing is a large pack- ing case, the lid fell and struck her on the bead. This, combined with a cold from which she was suffering at the time, has since caused confine- ment to her room, A NEDDLE IN MS Foo'r.—The other day a son .of Rev W. W. Spar - ling, playing about the house in his stocking feet, ran a needle into his heel ; it became so firmiy fixed that the services of a couple of medical men, and the putting of the child under chloroform were necessary, in order to extract it, NARROW ESCAPE.—On Saturday evening last a couple of ladies were crossing Albert street, immediately in front of the market, when the shaft of a passing cutter caught one of the ladies aeroes the small of the baelt, so frightening her and unsettling her nerves that it was some time before she recovered herself.

APOIDENT INsunANCE--Soave time ago Mr Chris Dickson slipped down on the street and hurt hie arm severe- ly. He wasinsured in the Accident Insurance Company, at the time, and this week Mr A. O. Pattison, agent for this company,banded him a cheek for $30 as compensation for the in- juries thus received. There is some satisfaction insuring when a company whacks up in this way. ENTERTAINMENT TO -NIGHT. --A splendid programme has been prepar- ed for the entertainment to be given in the town hall this (Friday) even, ing, on behalf'ot the Mechanics In- stitute, and embraces instrumental selections from the Doherty Band, singing by the Quartette Club, Miss Wiikenson, of Goderich, T. Jackson jr. and Mrs R. Rumford, witha read- ing by Mr Brewer and lecture by Mr A. H. Manning, "A visit to West - minister Abbey." Silver collection at the door. Let there be a large crowd and a liberal collection. Miss Bryers, (daughter of Rev J. Bryers, of Leamington.) who is an elocutionist of rare abilities, will give an entertainment on the evening of Monday, March 5, She will be as- sisted by Mrs and Miss Sage, the re= nowned musical glass players, who met wito a wonderful reception in the United States, and of whom the Bos- ton Times 'says:— "These musical phenomena are from Ca- nada. Talk of sweet music from a piano, talk of the charming mucic made by the bellringers—they can never equal the en- chanting harmonies produced on the musical glasses by these gifted artistes. A DANCE UNDER DIFFICULTIES.— The other night a load of young peo- ple of both sexes drove out to a farm- er's in Goderich township, where a dance was to take place ; those who had gathered drove the " Hubites" off, and would not allow them to stay about the premises. The Clintonians then drove to Holmesville, but could not find accommodation there and re- turned to town, where they are said to have taken possession of a hotel stable, and by the aid of a couple of street lamps, " borrowed" for the oc- casion, " hoed it down" till morning. RINGING AGAIN. — The council found that the discontinuance of the 6 a. m. bell gave so much dissatisfac- tion that they quickly rescinded the order which had allowed that to be done and the bell is now rang as here- tofore. A very largely signed petition would have been presented to the town council at its next meeting, had not the order been revoked. NOT QUITE CORRECT.—Last week in alluding to the breaking of Mr H. Foster's studio window, it was stated that four young men were concerned in the affair. This was not absolutely correct,as only two were actually con- cerned in the disorderly proceedings, and although these two consented to repair the damage done. they very foolishly- left the town rather than fulfil their obligations. THAT THEFT WAS OF SOME USE.— As showing how good can come out of evil we subjoin the following letter, received last week :— Feb. 15, 1885. R. Holadvs,—I noticed in last week's issue, of your loss of turkey, and goose. I don't like to see you disappointed, and to aid you in rnaking•another purchase I enclose $5 on my subscription. We have many others on our list that a like spirit of sympathy would not hurt, AN ACC1fetWie.-0n Sunday even- ing last au accident happened at a certain house in town which threat- ' erred for the moment serious conse- quences, but which fortunately, was unattended with such. A lighted lamp was accidentally knocked from„ a stand, and it fell into the lap of a little girl sitting close by, the oil run- ning out and igniting. The child's screams brought an older person ;to her rescue, who snatched the burning lamp from the child's lap and threw it outside into the snow. HORSE NOTES.—On Saturday Mr Thos. McMichael, of flullett, sold a 20 months old entire colt, to Mr D. McMurchie, Colborne, for the sum of $300 ; it was a very fine animal, and weighed 1385 lbs, Mr Ben.Churchill, of Hullett, weighed a fine young en tire colt on Tuesday, which turned the scales at 1470 lbs ; it is a bright bay,and will make a good serviceable animal. Messrs McEwan and Mc- Farlane, of Stanley, bave just sold their stallion, Pride of Tyne, to an American buyer, at a good egure this hose left some good stock in the county. Mr Robt. Martin, of the London road, had a heavy draught team in town on Wednesday, that at- tracted considerable notice ; both were imported mares, and to the no- vice in horse -flesh would not be con- sidered a very valuable team,but they were worth the modest sum of $2000. St PAUL'S SUNDAY SCHOOL.—The Anniversary entertainment of this S. S. whicketook place on Wednesday evening, this year took the form of a Service of Song, illustrating the early yeara of our Saviour's Life. There was a chorus of about sixty of the S. S. children. The solos and duets were taken by the Misses Bessie Patterson and Bella Cree, and Masters J. Plum- mer, Arthur, Bayard and Cyril Craig. The rehet•gus had been conducted by Mr Brewer: Every one seems pleased with the singing and while there is a great deal of work and worry getting up such an entertainment, it is not labor thrown away. Miss Sheppard was organist, and Messrs Pilcher, Cornelius, Sta.acher, Armstrong and Halladay, of the Doherty Organ Co. Band, most kindly gave their assist- ance. CHANGE OF BUSINESS.—As will be seen from an advertisement in another column, the business heretofore con- ducted by Mr Thos. Stevenson will in futurebe carried on by his son, Mr J. C. Stevenson. Mr Stevenson is so well known in these parts that he re- quires no introduction from us. He has lived here all his life, growing up with the place, and identifying him- self with every work which promoted the welfare of the town. He has served in many public positions giv- ing his time and talents freely for the public good. We heartily wish him great success. Mr T. Stevenson is entitled to a well earned rest,but it is doubtful if his active nature and buoyant spirits will allow him to re- main out of active employment. PRESENTATION.—The members of the senior bible class of the Ontario St. Methodist church Sunday School: assembled at the residence of their junior teacher, Mr A. f3, Manning, on Friday evening last, and presented that gentleman with a handsome chair, which was specially`ntanufac- tured for the donors by Messrs Calbick & Reith, and is a splendid specimen of cabinet making and upholstery work. The presentation, on behalf of the class,was made by Messrs John Govett and W. H. Cooper... Mr Man- ning replied in felicitous terms,thank- ing his associates for their expression of good will. A. very pleasant even- ing was afterwards spent. This class is a model one in its way, embracing a large number of the older members of the church. It has been steadily growing under the leadership of Messrs Jas.Stevens and Manning and now !embers over 70 members. RED TAPE WITH A VENGEANCE.— About the most absurd and annoying ease of red tapeism we have heard of for some time, is experienced by Messrs Harland Bros., of this town. Some time ago they gave an order for some Scotch goods—steel—that were to be imported direct. They have been wondering why the articles had not arrived, as they were wanting to use them, and were more than sur- prised last week to receive a letter "from the Allan Line, stating that by a mistake the goods had been landed at Philadelphia, and the intelligent cuiitonis collector at that 'r't ifad de- cided that the only proper way for them to reach their destination, was to ship the articles back to Glasgow, and;thence again to Montreal. They hoped Harland Bros, would not be iineonvenienced't etc., etc., but the thin, , although vers much putbut,had 0alternative but to calmly eubnfit.

ON Wednesday Mr Thos. Jackson, sr„was elected by acclamation for the vacancy in St. James' Ward, caused by the resignation of Mr M. Kelly.— Mr McKenzie had refused to stand, and it was thought best not to have a contest. THE Vodden farm of 100 acres, situated on the 8th eon.of Hullett,and put up by auction here, on Wednes- day, was bid in at $4,000. The sale being subject to a two -year's lease and other conditions, was against the bidding,though it would be dirt cheap at anything near the above price. IT Is said that the village of Blyth Will p088 -a by-law prohibiting cows from running at large. Clinton, with all its metropolitan airs, has not got this far yet. Cows can run at large here with impunity, and do all the damage they wish, and they need be afraid of no more severe punishment than a crack over the back, from some irate gardener.

At his Parkhill brickyard he turned out between eight and nine hundred thousand. Ton Brussels Post thus refers to a couple of sons of Mr Beattie, of this town :—” It is reported that the en- terprising firm of Beattie Bros.,livery- men may erect a large brick stable on the corner of Turnberry and Flora streets, next summer. The site is an excellent one." MR Luther Manning, formerly an employee in this town, but who has been in Manitoba for several years, gave us a call on Saturday.
