CHANGES.—Mrs Jas. Whitely, of
the 15th con. Goderich township, has
reuted her farm of 80 acres to Mr
John Weir, for $225 a year, and is
negotiating for the purchase of a
house and lot in Clinton, where she
will take up her residence.
THE MARKET.—The interest in the
Saturday market continues to grow,
there being a good attendance on
Saturday last, and about alt that was
offered being sold withou,t difficulty.
There is a good demand tor such
small fruits as cherries, currants and
raspberries, and those who have any
oftbese articles will easily dispose of
them.
A SMASH.—On Sunday last Mr E.
Floody was out for a drive with his
wife and children .when the whiffle -
tree became detaclied, causing the
horse to run away. He kept the
horse in the road as long as he could,
when it turned into the ditch, throw-
ing him out, upsetting the phreton,
and leaving the rest in a very un-
pleasant position. Fortunately the
horse got away from the rig, and be-
yol.d a few pieces broken, no damage
was sustained.
WAIT AND 'WATCH FOR IT.—The
next eclipse of the moon will occur
on the night of the 22nd inst., and
will be more interesting than the one
on Jan,- 28th last. The diameter of
the earth's shadow will be ,�-rhuch
larger than the last in proportitn ,to
the diameter of the moon, darkening
its surface more totally. It will take
place at midnight, when the moon
will be high in the heavens, and will
be visible in this section providing
the night is not too cloudy.
CONCERNING' NEWSPAPERS. —The
Brussels Post has entered on its 1Gh
volume; for the size of the village in
which it is published, the Post is one
of the best papers in Canada, being
greatly superior to many that are
issued in much larger places, and it
well deserves the success it bas met
with. Some time ago the editors of
the Mitchell Advocate and Recorder
said a good many unpleasant things
of each other, the result being a
couple of libel suits. They have
buried the meat -axe, eat humble pie,
and forgotten all their unpleasant-
ness. Some editors occasionally say
some very unpleasant things about
their confreres, in which the public
have:no interest whatever, and while
it is not nice to the fellow who may
be slandered,it is a great deal better to
grin and bear it than to seek vindi-
cation in the courts.

Waterous stearal, engine, and arsine*
ready for "the fall cainpatgn.'
HOME Ciitcl.Es.--Mr P. U. Patti-
son., of Waterford,orgauizer for theca-
nadian Order of Home Circles, is in
town frying to work up a Circle, and
the prospects are that he will succeed.
It is a Mutual Insurance Co.
O1vse HOLiDAY.—In eons fiance
with a petition, the Mayor Asa de-
clared Friday, the third of August, as
a public' holiday for this town. Ex-
cursions to Buffalo, Terouto and De-
troit, takd place on that day, particu
Lars of which will be found elsewhere.
Low FARES.—On the civic holi-
day, Aug. 3rd, the G. T. R. will is-
sue tickets at the following rates:—
Detroit $3; Buffalo $3; Toronto $2;
Port Stanley $1.25; London $1; Strat-
ford 75e; Goderich 40c, tickets good
to return up to the 6th. Single fare
tickets to any point, good for one
day, will be issued on the 3rd also.
LONG GRAIN 'Mr "a -titillated showed
us a stool of NSW yesterday that.
measured o"tr four feet long, well
heads',, out. He bas five acres close
t#town that he saps are as thick as
'they can stand, and the whole field is
as good as this specimen. This is
no doubt an exceptional field, but it
is possible that spring grain may turn
out generally better than many peo-
ple anticipate..
RAIN AT LAsr.--Right at this town
there has not been enough rain to
lay the dust for over`a month, in con•
sequence everything was parched up.
On -Wednesday morning there was a
heavy rainfall at Exeter and Strat-
ford, but only a few drops- fell here.
In the evening about nine o'clock,
the rain fell in torrents for five min-
utes at the station, whilb up town
there was none whatever, but later in
the night a fine rain fellthat appear-
ed to cover all this neighborhood,and
will do an inestimable amountof
good.
EXCURSIONS.— About About 20 tickets
were. sold for the Masonic Excursion
to Toronto, on Wednesday. For the
Sabbath School excursion to Gode-
rich 1050 tickets were sold, and the
crowd filled fourteen coaches. A
very light shower of rain fell early
in the morning, but beyond this no
rain fell during the day. The
scholars of the several schools all
seemed to enjoy themselves immensely
The Doherty . Band accompanied
the Rattenbury St.MethodistSabbath
school. Asst. -Supt. Tiffin, of the G.
T. R., Stratford, made it his business
to come up in the morning to see
that the train got out without delay,
and returned with it in the evening,
two engines being used Nothing
was wanting on the part of the Rail-
way Company to make the trip
pleasant. At Goderich, St. Paula
Sunday school went to Bingham's
grove, while the others went to the
Point, and there was not the slightest
thing to marthe pleasure of the day.
A good many took a trip on the lake,
and as the water was almost as calm
and undisturbed as the floor, no one
experienced the unpleasantness of
sea -sickness. Mr I). McGillicuddy,
of Goderich, at the request of a num-
ber, undertook the management of
the games at considerable personal
inconvenience, and managed' every-
thing admirably and to the entire oats
isfaction of all.
CLINTON SCALES.—The News•Re-
cord tries to pervert a statement of
ours concerning the Clinton Weigh
Scales, into a reflection on the pre.
sent weigh -master, Mr Robt. Welsh.
Our item does not bear any such con-
struction, and the editor of the News -
Record knows it; further, he knows
that in several issues we:complimented
Mr Welsh on the fact that he has
given general satisfactionand the
farming community are better satis-
fied than they were in previous years.
IT is never pleasant to cast reflec-
tions, but we know that in some
previous years Clinton scales were
not managed satisfactorily; there
were any amount of complaints and
farmers had no confidence that they
would be honestly dealt with. Since
MrWelsh's acceptance of the position
of weigh•master.that feeling has been
removed, because of his recognized
uprightness, and it is therefore "reas-
suring" to farmers to know that they
can rely on getting correct weight for
their cattle.
OEITCARY.—The following from
the Parkhill Gazette, relates to a
brother of Mr John Plewes, of the
Bayfield road, and Robt. Plewes,
Tuckersmith: James Plewes was born
(VA the 31st of August, 1814, in York-
s ire, ,Eng:and, He emigrated to
Canada in the year 1832, and settled
in what was then Little York, (now
Toronto), employed es coachman to
the Chaplain of the Forces,then sta-
tioned in Little York. In after years
he married the eldest daughter of
' Adam Elliott, and commenced farm-
ing. About thirty-five years ago he
moved west and settled on his late
residence, 18th eon., of Nest tVil-
liams,where be has won many friends
who will long remember him. He
was a consistent Presbytsrian and
passed away in the enjoytnent of a
hope beyond this vale of tears. He
was a btaunch Conservative and wil
be greatly missed by Church 'an
State. He leaves behind him a fam
ily offour daughters and one eon
His funeral on .Tuesday was a ver
large one, over 125 vehicles following
the remains to their last resting plat
in Sylvan cemetery. The sorrowing
family have the sympathy of th
whole community in their bereave
nlent.
