THE Expositer is incorrect in stat- ing that the population of Clinton was always ahead of Seaforth. It is true that Clinton had an existence before Seaforth, but if the Expositer will refer to its fyles of 1876-79 it will find that Seaforth had the start in poini of population. Now, however, Clintbn has the lead by 348. SOME of our subscribers have paid their arrears since our hint last week, but there are any number more who have not. $1.50 from each of those owing us, would take a heavy burden off, our shoulders, and make life brighter. Reader,if•you owe us,please pay it up, and if you.don't you can afford to smile at the way we are try- ing to wake up " the other fellow." We had a call on Monday from Mr James T. Johns. a well-known newspaper man, and lately connected with the Ottawa Free Press. He is now acting as special manager for Howe's Circus, and while he will no doubt make more money in his pre- sent connection.he will not exercise the moral influence he would have done bad he remained at newspaper work.

WORLD-WIDE REPuCATION.-The following clippingfrom.aNew York hat journal speaks well for the well known firm of Jackson tiros.: -Messrs Jackson Bros., Clinton, have an es- tablishment which fur appearance, style and convenience will compare favorably with . most metropolitan houses. This firm enjoys a very ex- tensive trade in clothing, hats and furnishing goods, which is pot con• fined entirely to the town of Clinton. They have a host of customers from the adjaceut towns and villages. Their reputation as a wideawake house who look sharply after the needs of the trade is well known. Once a year they visit the English market and their countenance is well known amony many of the leading hat houses in New York. CATTLE TRADE. -Clinton is daily becoming more and more a recognized centre for trade, and in no way is this more strikingly shown than in the cattle business, buyers getting cattle delivered here from remote parts of the county. Mr W. McLean shipped a quantity last week, some of which came from the neighborhood of Dungannon, and among tbe lot being the following animals :-W.
