ARM BROKEN. — Mr John Ross,
pumpmaker, had the misfortune to
get his arm broken a few days since,
and pow carries this member in a
sling. He was engaged in turning,
when the piece of wood flew from the
lathe and struck him on the arm.
AMALGAMATION.—The G.T. Ry. of
Canada, the Northern, and Hamilton
& Northwestern Railway Companies
have become merged into one, and
the whole system will now be known
as the Grand Trunk Railway of Ca-
nada. Freight and passengers can
now be sent direct, via the nearest
Junction, therefore overcoming the
nuisance of dealing with two railways.
REMEMBER the entertainment in
the Town Hall,on this (Friday) even-
ing, for the benefit of the Mechanics'
Institute, whose directors have just
given an order for over $100 worth of
new books. The public are asked to
come and help pay for them and lend
assistance in the maintenance of one
of the best institutions in the town.
The progiamme furnishes entertain-
ment in itself worthy of a large
audience and a liberal collection.
NEW TEACHER. — The . Collegiate
Institute Board met en 'Thursday
evening of last week, and engaged
' Mr Hamilton, of -Hamilton Ladies'
College, as Science Master for the
Institute. He is B.A., of Toronto
University, having taken first class
honors in Science when graduating.
He is also an honor man In the Eng-
lish . branches, and will no doubt
make a valuable addition to the pre-
sent excellent staff of teachers.
ACCIDENT.—On Sunday last Messrs
T. White and Atkinson went to Sea -
forth to attend the funeral of a rela-
tive 'of the latter. While returning,
they came very nearhaving an un•
pleasant accident. A sudden jolt
snapped one of the hold -backs, and
in trying to pull up the horse, both
tugs became unhitched. The horse
was. pretty lively, and for a few min-
utes matters were more interesting
than the occupants of the cutter cared
for, but the horse was -finally quieted
without any riamage being done.
ODDFELLOIVS.—The Oddfellows' of
town held a very pleasant oyster sup-
per and social in their lodge room, on

SHIPPING NOTES.—John Mooney
shipped icor of fine horses for Romeo,
Mich., W. McLean, 2 cars of cattle
for Montreal. D. Cantelon received
1 car shingles and R. M. Racey 1 car
of coal.
NEW FURNACE.—It is said that
Mr W. S. Harland is the inventor of
a new furnace for dwelling houses,
and is taking out a patent for it. We
hope there may be any amount of
money in it for him.
THE OLDEST YET.—Mr Tho8. Ste-
venson, the veteran furniture dealer,
claims to be the one longest in busi-
ness consecutively in this town. He
started here in the fall of 1854, and
kept at it until the 1st of March, '88.
TOBOGGAN CLUB — A meeting to
wind up the winter's business of the
Toboggan Club, was held at the Rat-
tenbury House, on Monday evening.
It was decided to dispose of the pre-
sent slide, just as it stands, and build
a larger one next year, possibly on
the Hansford farm. The members of
the club, also, have the pleasure of a
balance in the treasury.
A COLD BATH—On Tuesday morn-
ing While Mr W S Lawrence was on
his way to -his school, on the 16th con.
of Goderich Township, he had the
misfortune to slip into a culvert,
which was full of water. He fell flat
on his side, and it was necessary for
him to go to a farm house and borrow
a dry suit of clothes, changing the
same on his way home again in the
evening.
HOME CIRCLE—A very interesting
programme was rendered at the Rat-
tenbury St. Home Circle, on Friday
evening, last, not the least interesting
of which were the chemical experi-
ments of Messrs Foster and Perry. --
These gentlemen go to a great deal of
trouble, and deserve -much credit for
their pains, but we do not think they
will be asked for a repetition of the
experiment that wound up the pro-
ceedings and drove all from the room
last Friday. Those who were present
will understand what we, mean. No
meeting will be held to -night, so as
to allow all who wish to attend the
Mechanics' Ihstitute entertainment, 'o
do so.
BOOM IN ACCIDENT INSURANCE.—
The following parties; before leaving
the G. T. R. station, took out a good
supply of Accident Insurance: John
Weston, John McDonald, of Hensall;
Wm. Montgomery, Alex. Galbraith,
James Churchill, Wm. Southcombe,
Jas. Moir, Peter 'Robinson and Mr
Geo. Rose, of Goderich, each $3000,
and Richard Hotham, ;$1000. It is
quite evident that Accident Insurance
is getting more popular every day, as
those gentlemen all applied for Ace.
Ins. without being solicited. They
found the Agent of the Acc. Ins. Co.
of North America willing and ready
to write them up. Any one wishing
Ace. Insurance, apply to A. O. Patti-
son, Agent for Ace, Ins, Co, of North
America.•
BY ARBITRATION. --The insurance,
company not having settled the claim
of Mr F. E. Corbett, for loss by the
recent fire, the matter is being settled
by arbitration. Mr, P. Holt, of Gode-
rich, is acting as arbitrator; Mr H.Lye,
Toronto, Adjuster of claims for Insur-
ance Companies, representing the
company, and the respective parties
also being represented by counsel,
The matter was heard on Friday and
Saturday, in the council chamber,
and adjourned for one week. We
may be wrong in our opinion, but we
believe Insurance Companies do;them-
selves more harm than good, when
they fight what appear to be legiti-
mate, claims.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT. — Mr Alex.
McDonald (brother-in-law of' Mr T.
McConnell, Clinton,) met with a pain-
ful accident at the Clipton station,
on Saturday last. He was brakesman
on the morning freight, and as the
train was slowly backing up, he step-
ped from the platform, and fell with
his legs across the track. One wheel
caught the calf of his leg, crushing it
in a dreadful manner, but fortunately
not passing over the legs. On his
back was also a very nasty wound.
Medical assistance was at once sum-
moned, and his wounds dressed, and
it was at first thought that he was so
seriously injured that he could not
survive, but we are pleased to know
that he is doing better than was ex-
pected. He was taken to his home
at Stratford, on Saturday afternoon,
a doctor accompanying him all the
SCOTT ACT MATTERS,—TWO cases
were tried before P.M. Williams, at
Brussels, on Friday; one was dismiss-
ed and the other adjourned. The
convention to be held in the Metho-
dist church, to -day, is likely to be
largely attended, and will no doubt
be an important meeting. The vote
will be taken for repeal• in several
counties, on the 19th of April, Huron
being one of the number. Remember
the wording of the ballot " For the
repeal" means against the Act, and
all votes marked "Against the repeal"
will be in favor of retaining the Act.
Smile enthusiastic Scott Act meetings
have already been held in Goderich
township. Efficient committees are
also at work in town. It is said the
-Antis will go on the "still hunt" sys-
tem, that is, hold no meetings, but go
into a personal canvas. The local or-
ganization are arranging for a week's
platform meetings, to be held in the
town hall as soon as can be arranged
for.

MR Moses Fischer has secured a
position as cutter for an establishment
at Kingston, and will move his family
there. The house now occupied by
him has been rented by Mr Perry.
THERE was a very large crowd in
town on Saturday, and business was
proportionately lively. No doubt
many thought the sleighing 'would
not last much longer, and they would
take advantage of it.
THE St. Mary's Journal refers to
the enlargement of the premises of A.
t -f. Lofft & Co., to accommodate their
increasine business. Mr Lofft is an
old Goderich township boy, and learn-
ed his business in Clinton.
LOOK OUT FOR THEM.—This i8 the
season of the year when the seed
wheat swindler, the hay fork shark
and the lightning -rod fraud open the
campaign; and make their annual
raid on the poor farmers. Although
warned time and again through the
press they still succeed in finding nu-
merous victims. Sign no papers pre-
sented by plausible strangers, no mat-
ter how tempting the bait looks, and
you will be on the safe side.
RAILROAD NEWS.—A good party
left for Manitoba on Tuesday,by spec-
ial train in charge of Conductor Fitz-
gerald and the popular travelling
agent, Mr Chapman, of the N. and
N. W. Division of the G. T It. The
train consisted of 9 cars of settlers'
effects and about 15 passengers; also
attached to this train was a G T R
colonist sleeper, which has been
built expressly for settlers going
west. It has every convenience of a
pullman car as regards the accomoda-
tion. It was admired by every one
who saw it and is claimed to be a
long way ahead of any car that has
been got up yet. It speaks well for
the Grand Trunk Railway. Route of
train was via, G T R to Toronto and
N and N W Div. of G T R to North
Bay, thence per C P R, The shippers
of the party were named Richard
Hotham, 3 cars for Douglass, Man.;
Wm, Southeomb, 2 cars stock for
Pilot Mound, Man.;. Mrs Morley, 1
car of young cattle, Birtle, Man,;
Robert J. Holmes, 2 cars of settlers'
effects to Brandon, Man ; and Jas.
Moir, 1 car for Snow Flake, Man,
Everything passed off quietly and
passengers left in good spirits and
well satisfied with treatment received
at station. This train would also
take the settlers effects on at Seaforth
and Mitchell, and will have a full
train leaving Stratford.
Acting on the advice of my physicians in Edinburgh and Clinton, I
have resolved to go out of business, unless my health improves satis-
factorily. I will sell my large stock of goods at very Low Prices.

SERMON ON TEMPERANCE.—Tbcre
were quite a number more than mem-
bers of the church present at St.
Paul's, on Sunday evening, to hear
what Rev Mr Craig had to say on the
previously announced subject of
"Temperance." His text was based
on the 19th and 20th verses of the
6th chap. of 1st Cor, "What l know
ye not that your body is the temple
of the Holy Christ which is in you,
which ye have of God and ye are not
your own. For ye are bought with
a price; therefore glorify God in your
body, and in your spirit, which are
God's, He denounced drunkenness as
a sin, and warned all against it; clas-
sed alcohol as being dangeroub
as strychnine and other drugs,
but being necessary in various ways,
he would muzzle (or restrict) its use;
would not entirely destroy it. There
were many good points in his remarks,
though out and out temperance sym-
pathisers would not think that he
went far enough in his "restriction."
The second part of the sermon was
especially relating to chastity and
was good sound advice to the young
of both sexes,
