HARLAND BROS, Clinton. Trawls Lehi-$. 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.

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. Ur dna.
