THE HUB Leans.-- Seaforth as- sessors give that place a population •of 2696. Clinton has 3030. There was a time not long ago when Sea - forth had the start, but it will never occur again. THEFT.—The other day a gentle- man bought a rocking chair at a sale on the market, and placed it tempor- arily in the town clerk's office, in the -market building, locking the door. When he returned for it ho found that a certain party bad carried it off, and unless the article is returned :forth with, legal steps will be taken for' its recovery. J EcTCRE.—There was nota large .attendance at the lecture of MrJ Peek, in Rattenbury St. Church, on Tues- day -evening, but those present had the pleasure of listening to a good speaker. At the close a gentleman present got up and proposed a vote ofthanks, but the chairman, Rev E S. Rupert, politely, but very proper- ly intimated that such a practice had - been disgarded here, and . the "vote" was accordingly not put.

Touous.—A gang of nondescripts visited town last week. and by bags pipe music drew a collection wherever they drew a crowd. They were the tough st-looking lot that have been here for a long time, and even Sea - forth, bad as it is, could not furnish quite such bard -looking cases. WOMEN 1N OFrIcE.—Who shall affirm that women are not pushing to the front, and seizing control of offices of emolument hitherto appropriated by the sterner sex ? ' Mrs Catharine Meagher has been appointed pound - keeper in Belleville. — Exchange. [Clinton has the case of a woman who issole caretaker for a large church, and does her work well.] SOLD Ouv.--We understand that Mr James Moore has disposed of the Commer.iial Hotel, to a Mr Smith, of Sarnia, possession to be given the first.of the month, Whatever objec- tions may be urged against the liquor ifto town last week.

Mr D. McQuaig, of this town, has been shipping timber from different points along the line of the L., H. & B. wishes of his many acquaintances. SHOWS HIS APPRECIATION.—TI}e following letter from Mr James Irv- ing, of Los Angelos, Cal., explains itself :—" I notice by the date on my paper, that the subscription is .past due, and to show you my deep ap- preciation of your valuable paper, I most cheerfully remit you the price for one more year. Itis my intention to visit my old home some time this summer, and I am sure I will find a great many changes, as it is now past five years since I last saw Clinton." MR and Mrs W. G. Church, Font - hill, celebrated the fiftieth annivar• sary of their wedding on Wednesday, 16th inst.,at their residence, Fonthill. About eighty guests were present, in• eluding friends from New York, To- ronto, Clinton and other places at a distance.

Finn Gauphin and family left on RAILWAY TIME CHANo:ES. — Several important changes took place in the running of trains on the Grand Trunk, last Monday. From the fol- lowing time -table, which gives the departure of trains from Clinton, it will be seen that an extra train each way is added. The afternoon mail from Toronto arrives earlier, while the noon train east is nearly an hour later. Going West Going East Mixed 0 50 a. m. I Express 7.30 a.m. Express 1 20 p.m. i Express 2'25 p m.

MAR.t:ET DAY.—The council of Clinton have, by by-law, fixed the Saturday of each week, commencing June 2nd, as market dgy,from 7 until H o'clock a.m., during which time butter, (less than 50 lbs.,) lard, eggs,. poultry, vegetables, fruits,dried meat, cheese and similar articles, must be brought to the market square, and there offered for sale. In the event of the weather being unfavorable, the council chamber may. be used. No fees will he charged. \Ve hope the farmers will make a note of this, and, on the 2nd of June ,in particular,bring into market any produce of the above nature they have for safe. The townspeople, also,should bear in mind the same date, and make a special effort topersonally visit 'the market and,purchase their supplies. PRETTY Hassu.—There is a cir:aiu :Harried woman in town whose drink- ing habits not only make her a dis- grace to" her sex, but whose conduct when under the influence of liquor is heartless to her own family. Last week she was helplessly drunk for the whole week ; her husband was absent in the country trying to earn a little to keep the family existing, and her four small children were left to shift for themselves as best they could. The weather was cold, but there was no fuel in the house, and for a day the children had not a morsel to eat, intil neighbors found out their con• dition and relieved their sufferings. Charitably disposed people have on several occasions -offered to look after the cbildren,but their offers have been refused. It seems too bad that they must suffer as they have without any relief, and we are disposed to think that the law will have to step in and make some provision for their welfare. OnGANs.—W. Doherty & Co. have shipped a nice sample lot of organs to Savoinna,Italy,and have a man there hanging their show cards and distri- buting their advertising matter to the trade generally in Southern Italy. They have also received an order for five organs, one of them their large two manual, pipe top, pedal bass wrgau, for the -leading Musical. House in Calcutta, Mndid. They have three buying agents in Yokohama, Japan, besides their regular trade to the Methodist Mission in Japan. Have an order now from the Rev Dr Eby, of Tokio, for a two manual organ. They have lately received orders from Dublin, Ilelfast and Limerick in Ire- land, and their trade in England, Scotland and Australia is assuming immense proportions. Some houses are even ordering stools. They have an order now for 100 No, 2 stools f•)r their Liverpool House. commenced the study of medicine. He now enjoys a large practice in Detroit, Mich. jjt might be parenthi- cally remarked that the doctor hopes to remove some Clinton lady to De- troit some day in the near future. TL�R DRAMA.—The Baird Drama- tic Co. opened a weekly engagement onMonday night in Queens Evidence, before a large and appreciative aud- ience. The play was well put on and pleased the audience. Tuesday night The Danites was the attraction, Wed- nesday night, Bells of Shandon, all of which gave entire satisfaction to all present, To -night the great melo-drama, Hoop of Gold; and on Friday night, My Partner will be produced,.and every lady buying a reserved seat ticket will be presented with a handsome satin souvenir pro- gramme of the play, There will be a Family Matinee on Saturday after- noon at 2.30, and on Saturday night, the laughable Comedy Drama, The Lightning Rods-4gent, will be pre- sented with R. H. Baird as the. agent, This Company appears to be exceed- ingly popular all over Canada, and are usually greeted with full houses. PRETTY HARD LINES Mr Charles Morrow, of Spiritwood, Dak., former• ly of Clinton, bad a pretty hard tithe of it last year, as the following letter will show:— 'Harvest before •la'3t I had 150 acres of wheat and 80 of oats, but. we had such a drouth that we had not a good shower for two years, so I had not half a crop of wheat and only 200 bushels of eats. Had feed and seed oats so buy besides all expenses. That was not the worst, but last year after putting in a good crop on bought feed and bought seed, I bad only 150 acres of poor wheat and 300 of poor oats and not a grain of anything to sell only a few pots s, and now have to seed on bout wheat and oats. We have .a late spring this year, no growth as yet but the land is in good condition for seed. There were two counties that suffered so much from drouth, Dakota, on the whole had a good crop the, last two years, but we were left out." TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.— A number of representative temper- ance workers gathered in the lecture room of E.attenbury Street Methodist Church, Clinton, on Tuesday, to dis- cuss future action. The accounts of the Scott Act Association were aud- ited and found satisfactory, A very remarkable thing in connection with. the association was the fact that there was a surplus of about $200 in the treasury. The sum of $100 was voted to Mr Horace foster as a slight re- cognition'of his services as secretary. $50 was given to Rev John Gray for his services during the late campaign, and $2.5 paid to the treasurer, Mk J. C. Stevenson, for his care of the finan- ces. A rebate of $30 was allowed the village of Exeter, owing to law ex- penses incurred in a recent suit there. There was sone talk of the Scott Act Association. disbanding entirely, and a new association being kilned, but action in this line was deferred until after the meeting of the Temperance • Convention at Montreal, in July next At previous conventions — and the same thing was manifest at this One also—there has been a tendency to waste the early part of the meeting in discussions that should be confined to narrower limits, and at the close of the conventi't► there is always a lot of important business that has to be hurried through without the consider• atiotl it should liar". ° Saturday last for Winnipeg. It is said that he forgot to see all his friends before his departure, It is a relief to the town to know that he took his mother-in-law along with him. Ir "a cool and rainy May is good for grain and hay," the coming sum- mer should see a big boom in beef and butter business. This May has been cool enough to makebrass grow on a bald head. It has already up• reared an immense crop of influenza and catarrh, but has taken a turn for . the warmer. The football match played at Ayl- mer, on Friday, Seaforth v. Aylmer, was one of great interest despite the wet weather. A large' crowd was present and saw both clubs do some neat playing. The visitors were rather lacking in weight, but evident- ly proved themselves a match for the home team by their swiftness and combined playing. The Aylmer boys as usual did some excellent work, but looked as if they had met their equals, and in fifty minutes time succeeded in scoring the first goal. A few minutes later -Seaforth scored one goal, being the last scored on either side, the game ending in a tie, by one to one. DISSSOLUTION. — The firm 'OW. Doherty & Co has dissolved, and the business will henceforth be carried on by Mr. Doherty. Mr Gibbings will retire for a time -from active business but we h'ope soon to see him embark in some other enterprise. Mr. Do- herty, itis needless to say, will con- tinue the business with all the energy that' characterized the old firm. The Doherty Organ has wqn a place from which it cannot be dislodged. Mr Doherty will spare no pains to hold his position, and is already contem- plating such improvements as will re- sult in even the greater usefulneseitnd perfection of his instruments. Both members of the late firm have the best wishes of the commanity. in Claude correspondent of the Peel Banner, says:—Mr Wm. Do- herty, bead of the firm of Wm.Doherty & Co. organ manufacturers, Clinton, accompanied by Mrs Doherty, paid a short _visit this week to his mother and sister of this village. Mr Doherty is an old Claude boy and we are all glad to know of his success and posi- tion as head of a firm whose make of organs stand second to none in the Dominion. Speaking of Claude boys it may be interesting to know who and where a few of them are, Besides Mr Doherty there are Dr C. Robin- son, ex-M.P.P for Cardwell, A. Mc- Kechnie and John Smith, of Bramp- ton, Rev S.S. Craig, of Claude, Prof. N. S. McKechnie, of Woodstock Baptist College, L. E. Embree, Prin- cipal of Pickering College, and Dr A R. Robinson, of NewxYork, probably the leading Dermatologist of North America. Right you are,Mr Banner. Claude boys turn - out well. We k -now -as a matter of fact that Mr Doherty came here 20 years ago the 28th of nett .Tuly, with only $40 in big" pockets.— 'l'o-day he is amongst the most enter- prising of our manufacturers, and is on the high road to wealth. For Christis'i philanthropic and other calls his hands are always open and churches all over the country, and even in ,Tarr.', rejoice in the posses - Bion of organs through his liberality. May his shadow and his generosity never grow less, R UM and AND WE 'WILL TELL YOU ABOUT OUR BigstoekDress6nods AND THE—__ Wonderful Variety of Prints We have just now.
