We suppose it is of little use to talk about it, but if the hun- dreds ofreaders (all good) who owe us little amounts, would remit either in stamps, money or anything , resembling mo- ney,they will relieve 'our book- keeper from a good deal of anxiety and mental worry .W e are not begging; weionly want you to convince us that you have a little regard for your honor. It is not right to allow subscriptions to fall behind, and then compell us to spend 'valuable time and hard cash in sending accounts for a year or so before you pay the bill. We want all who are indebted to us to take this home to themselves. It has no appli- cation and is not inteudeti,fiir those who are paid lip. own 1Zolll.f,",�. S cuooLs.—The schools re -opened on Monday last, all the teachers in their places, and a good attendance of scholars. In the average atten• dance of.pupils at the Public School, Clinton equals, all towns of its size in Canada. In the lowest division over 100 pupils reported present on Mon- day. INJ1;REI) By FRosT.—Mr James Southcombe, of Hullett. received a letter this week from one of his brothers in Southern Manitoba, say• ing that their crops had been very much injured by the frost ; Mr Alex. Gorrell, on the other hand, writes from Carberry,last week, stating that the crops in that immediate vicinity were looking well and did not appear to be hurt by the frost. Excuasross.—The Excursion to Niagara Falls, on Saturday last, was patronized by ten from Clinton; it did not reach the Falls until half past four o'clock. The Oddtellows' Ex- cursion to Port Huron, on Wednes- day, carried ninety-five passengers from Clinton and a very large num- ber from Goderich. The presence of the Doherty Band added much to the' pleasure of the sail on the lake: INSPEI'TroN.—DrMay, of the Edu- cation Department was in town on Tuesday afternoon and made his of- ficial inspection of the Mechanics' Institute. He was evidently pleased with the neat appearance of the In- stitute, said it showed good care, con- sidered the room an admirable .one, and' particularly well adapted for its purpose, being much better than found by him in many other places. CONTRACTS.--llessrs Cooper & Swaffield have received the contract for the erection of a new frame house for Mr.4 H. J. Whitely. They have also been awarded the contract for the erection of Mr T.0, Pickard's two- storey brick at Holmesville; this latter .will be a slate roof, with all modern improvements.: In both these contracts the owners are assured already of a satisfactory completion of the work. BRIDGE COMPLETION.—Mr Peter Adamson, the genial county clerk, called in on last Monday, while' on his way to Wingham with the Warden's Committee, to test, etc.,and take over the iron bridge in Lower Wingham that had just been com- pleted at tlfat place. Everything being satisfactory, it was taken oft' the contractor's hands. Mr Adamson thinks the Hub is a pretty lively place, but, of course, in his eyes, it does not come up to Goderich. NEW BANK NOTES.—The Canadian Bank of Commerce have issued their new circulation in $5, $10,.$20 and $100, and they are in every way ad- mirable. Not only is the engraving of the highest class for delicacy and precision, thus affording a barrier to the success of forging engravers, but the Variety of the tints employed upon the face of the note will abso- lutely prevent the success of an in- tending counterfeiter by photography. WONDER HE WAS NOT HURT.—One evening last week a man named Laing, who belongs to the neighbor- hood of Varna, drovehis horse up and down the streets here at a reck- less gait, Mr Tedford, constable, not being on the streets just at that mo- ment. Shortly afterwards the man fell out of the rig, the horse step- ping on his leg but not injuring him very badly. He was afterwards brought up before Mr McGarva, who fined him $1 and costs. TIIE NEWCaooi..— The new school building will be completed and ready for occupation by the end of this week. It presents a very neat appearance, has been completed with- in the contract limit, and the con- tractors, Messrs Cooper & Swaffield, have done the work to the entire sat- isfaction of the school board. It con- tains an upper and lower room, both well lighted, and will be occupied by Misses Plummer and Williams re- ` spectively, The scholars will occupy it for the first time, on Monday, Mr Searle has devoted considerable time to a superintendence of the work, and takes just as great an interest in it as if be had half•a dozen children of ' school age. NICE MONUMENT. —Messrs Robin- son & Bell, of Goderich, have just. pat up in the Clinton cemetery a very nice monument for Mr Chris. Dale, sr,,of Hullett. It stands about thirteen feet above th'e base, and is made of Canadian granite, presenting a nice appearance. Mr Dale ex'ptes- ses himself as very well pleased with the work. The price we believe, was somewhere between two and three hundred dollars. We do not suppose itis any better than could have been procured in this town for the same money, but the idea sometimes pre- vails that articles procured away from home are better value than sim liar articles procured at horde.

If the thief will use it for hie own ablutions the loser will not begrudge its loss. A CHEAP TRIP.—The G. T. R. wilt issue excursion tickets to Chicago, o.n the 7th and 8th of Sept. good to re- turn up to the 24th, at the low rate of $9. Equally low rates to points in. Michigan will be given. Apply to A. O. Pattison, agent, for par- ticulars. - A GOOD MAN.—Referring to the engagement of Mr Prendergast, by the Collegiate Institute Board, the Seaforth Expositor says :—"He is a young man of very superior abilities and has already proven himself a capable teacher and a brilliant scholar. We congratulate our Clinton neigh- bors in securing his services." LMPBOVEMENTS.— Mr Spooner is making an addition to his hotel. It is said that he will sheet iron the whole of his building in order to meet the requirements of the fire - limit by-law, the mayor having re- cently expressed the opinion that a frame building within the fire limits that was covered in this way, would be allowable. POSTAL—The postal department has made a change in the Bayfield mail. It will arrive here at about 12.45 p.m. (about the same as before) but will leave for Bayfield, after Sat- urday, at 2.45 instead of 5 and arrive at that place at about 5 o'clock,which will make it at least 23 hours earlier in Bayfield, than they have had the pleasure of receiving it for about twelve years. THE PRICE OF WHEAT.—The un- favorable weather in Europe is hav- ing its influence on the grain markets of the world, which show a little firmer tendency, and it is thought that the price will rule'a trifle higher than it has. We would not advise farmers to hold on, but we would ad- vise them to market their grain in Clinton, where they will get the very highest prices that are going. Do NOT ENCOURAGE IT.—AltnOst every day we hear of' tramps going to houses in town and demanding food or money and getting ugly if the latter is not given to them, and some- times in fear of possible consequences they get what they demand.. Usually, if people are firm there is nothing to, fear from tramps, and the Mayor would much rather that all applicants for assistance were sent to hint or the town constable, ,instead of being given indiscriminate assistance by the townspeople, PERSONAL —Before leaving Clin- 'ton Mr J. C. Linklater was offered, unasked, the Principalship ot the Farmersville Model School, at a salary of $750 per annum. He com- tnunicated with the Ganauoque board of trustees stating that he had been offered, unsolicited, a more re- munerative position and asked for a release, but they were determined to retain him and signified theirwilling- ness to suit him as to salary. Seldom is it the case that fortune smiles so upon ye pedagogue, and in this in- stance it was deserved. A private note f,oni him to a friend in town says that he is well pleased so far with his new field of work. There are two schools and ten assistants. How THE CLUBS STA.rn.— Won.

HURON CENTRAL EiHiBITION•— The Directors have issued an invita- tion to the schools in the surrounding townships to join in a grand school children's cc; ebration, on Thursday, 20th, the second day of the great show. It is intended to have the children meet in the morning on the Model School grounds, and march in procession to the Palace Rink.

Next week the space in lithe rink will be allotted to inose who wish to make exhibits other than for prizes, Messrs S. Davis. and Harland Bros. will erect fountains, and the stands for !towel -a, fruit, etc,, will be prepared.

There will be much larger exhibits of stock, horses, produce, etc., than in any previous year, and everything points to a most successful exhibition. e. • Li448 Coe 1, Why not have the street h Imj)s these nigahts• 74.1.
