HARLAND BROS, Clinton. — -- gun 1fpifk. - STRucx.—Llghnting struck a chim- ney on the new house of Mr J.Steep, Friday night, ' knocking down the chimney and burning n good-sized hole in the roof. Mr Steep only moved into the house the day before. CHANGE.—Stock-taking is under way in the store of Mr H. Plumsteel, preparatory to a change in the busi- ness, it being the intention of Mr John Gibbings to take an interest therein. This should make a pretty good team. NEARLY BURIED.—While one of Mr John Ouninghame's little girls . was standing near a stove out at the Maitland camp, the other day, her dress took fire. She at once ran into a tent, where a lady threw a blanket around her, smothering the flames, and thus preventing what might have been a nasty accident. EXCURSIONS. —The Civic holiday excursions were well patronized, tbanks,no doubt, to the judicious use of printing ink. To Toronto, 156 tickets were sold; to Detroit: 39; to London, 80; and others to minor points; The total ,receipts at the station that morning amounted to $6.41,35. The G T R company are Lo- be congratulated on having so ener- getic and able an agent here, as Mr Pattison. MARRIAGE --On Wednesday morn- ing Mr Albert J. Holloway and •Miss Aggie G. Dodds were uuited in mar. riage by the Rev. Jas. Livingstone, leaving by the afternoon train on wedding tour. Both are native Clin- tonians, and the best wishes of their many friends accompany them in the. journey through life. A gaiet wed- ding took place at the house of Mr P Strait., early yesterday morning, when bis third daughter, Jemima, was united in marriage•to Rev. 1•:.Mc- Ghee, a young Presbyterian minister of Toronto; Miss Straith's many ac- q"a'n:•anecs here follow htr with thei congratulations, TelE Caors —During the last fell' weeks we have had an opportunity of visiting different sections of the coun- try, more or less remote from this town,and judged by what one sees from the road, the crops appear much bet- ter than at fist anticipated. In near- ly all portions of Tuckersmith, the crops look to be first-class, oats and barley especially being good. In 11ullett, portions of Goderich town- ship, East and West Wawanosh, and Ashfield, the crops a are fair average; oats are a little thin, but generally look well. In Stanley the crops are as good as could be desired. We venture to say that threshing will turn out a larger quantity of grain than many farmers were at first dis• posed'to think it would. OUT OF TIM ORDINARY.— They say that "lightning never strikes the same place twice;" but events often happen in the affairs of life that bear so close a resemblance to other events that they call for observation. Among the members of Mr John Croll's family, in this town were four daughters, all of whom hecame.print- ere, and good ones too. Three of these young ladies are married, two of them to printers, the second event of this kind taking place on Tuesday, when Miss Clara Croll, late of the Galt Reformer, was married to Mr Wesley Fletcher, foreman of that office. The last unmarried daughter is working in the Parkhill Gazette office,and we would not ,be at all eurprised to hear that she has the prospects of a life -grip on some un- married printer of that place. T1iEY (.OT 81,IOIITLY wr•r.—Last Friday morning when the teachers and officers of Rattenbury St. Sabbath school, accompanied by a number of scholars. left in two large waggons,to spend the day at Bayfield, the weather wss just as fine as if made to order. The day was very enjoyably spent at Middleton's point, the slight shower of the afternoon causing them to take shelter under the verandah. Somewhere about seven in the even- ing, the return journey was com- menced and the first of tho heavy showers that night caught the party when near Middleton's church, Tho only place of refuge was the driving shed, and Tato this the lwhole crowd rushed, regardless of how much mud they got on their silks or lawns, broadcloths or tvreeds, some of the ladies losing their hats in the scram- ble for shelter. Atter an enforced imprisonment hers for some time, they resumed their homeward jour- ner,but bac? not gone Very far, be- fore they received the full force of the terrible rain that fell, and had to continue their homeward trip in the pelting storm. To say that they were drenched through and through, hardly gives an idea of their expel'. ince. Fortunately for the individu- al members of the party, no serious results followed, 4,1 AtellAt T -.,Yesterday, While Kr Fav lgull'edgd, er., was working at tke !tbraebe- in tbfl Oat told, thtelRWfhrue atagi learted.Over, and struck hi.i41, oq the aids of the head, indicting a. pretty back scalp woygd.

It was a very fair sample, better than the ordinary average, but net quite up to the 60 maids- to the bushel. He received 90q par buebel.for it,agd thought the crop would average 20 bushels to the acre. ACCIDENT.--OnTuesday afternoon Mr W. Cooper, (laborer) met with a very severe accident. He was as- sisting at Mr R. Haywood's when one of the scaffold poles that had been set upright in a barrel, fell over, striking him on the head and should- er, and- knocking him insensible. His bead was pretty badly cut, but it is thought that under careful .treat- ment he will pull through all right.

The question. of Street cross- ings on Albert, • Ontario' and Huron streets,. was referred back to the Council, and 'a motion was passed that the new crossings be aa near as possible the in same position as the present ones. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL RE iIOT.—The probabilities all point in the direction of bot weath- er for the remajnder of the summer, and greater precautions will be neces- sary for the preservation of health. Over-exertion in the pursuit of plea- sure or in the daily drudging of life must be avoided Overeating and drinking, always hurtful, are espe- cially dangerous in torrid weather, Cleanliness of habit and abstinence from all excess are the best safeguards for health. . • CRICKET.—On the Civic holiday a scratch match at cricket was plated between the Victorix:s and a scrub eleven, composed principally of old seniors who had grown rusty. The boys thought they were going to have a picnic, but found that they were mistaken. The scrubs won by 45 runs. Messrs Howson and Roach gave the boys considerable leather hunting 7n first innings. For• the boys Mc Iprchie and Kennedy trun- dled the ball fairly well. The boys should: not rely on past success so much but Continue practising if they wish to hold their owu. .l Little Local Items.

Reference was made to the improvements in the new school house, in the church and churchyard and on the Rectory, costing some $5,000. Of this amount the congre- gation had already contributed. $2,- 500. The special attentrou of the con- gregation was drawn to two points : The m i {sionaty work of the church,and sociability of the members, its having much to do with the success of any congregation. Taking it a I round St. Paul's church seems to, bo in a healthy ' and prosperous condition, which is largely contributed to by the harmony ‘vhich exists between the earnest worki,ig pastor and his peo- ple. 11 AIL a ilk•t •.,u. „ 6‘ it '' itt '' „ 25 15 ,20 25 25 25 25 20( 25 20 - 25 On CONCERTINAS and ACCORDEONS 20 On WALL PAPER 20 On DAY j3OOKS, JOURNALS, LEDGERS, .&C 10 On MOUTH ORGANS 20 On BABY CARRIAGES 10 On LADIES HAND SATCHELS " 30 On COMBS, WRITING DESKS and WORKBQXES 20 On VELVET FRAMES and DOLLS" 25 On BASKETS 10 A large quantity :of Remnants at 50c on the The above prices are for cash only.
