MONEY IN MUSTARD SEED —It is reported that a buyer is stationed at Oshawa to purchase wild mustard seed, and that farmers are hauling it in in large quantities.

Mr Bennett reason for letting it go is that he i leaving the country, having decide to take up his residence in California CONSCIENCE MONEY.—The Cus- toms Department at Ottawa Wednes- day received a $20 bill as conscience money from a Woodstock man. The stricken one in his letter quotes I. Thessalonians, iii., 13; also Matthew, v., 8. t We have been looking for. "conscience money" from scores of our subscribers, but it has not arrived yet. Perhaps conscience is dead.] HARD Lick Mr Frank Goodwin, formerly of Stanley, has been in the Qu'Appelle district, N. W. T., for several years, and in all that time -liras hardly had one good crop. Last 4 -year the drought and gophers destroy - eel his crop, and this year the gophers "slid not leave him a handful of grain. Ste had better come back to the -county of Huron, where he can do enme better than that. MORE HONORS FOR CLINTON.— Miss Frazer; a student of Clinton Collegiate Institute, has obtained a second class certificate, nn appeal, making the 9th who passed. This is withir one bf the number passed by Seaforth and Goderich put together. Miss M. L.

This ffirm is situatecl about one mile from town, on the London road, is one of the best farms in this section, and among the foremost farms in the county. Mr Martin, we believe, in- tends to take up his residence in Michigan, where he can get more land than he can here. Be adver- tises his imported horses for sale. THE END OF THE SEASON.—IN readers will be just as pleastd as w are to know that the fall fair season is about over. This week considerable of our space is devoted to prize lists. Just let us enumerate the shows we are expected to report this week— Goderich, held last week; Belgrave, Monday and Tuesday; Bayfield, Mon- day and Tuesday ; Blyth, Wednesday and Thursday.

BETTER THAN THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.—A Clinton youth ran au Aunt Sally'' arrangement at Bay- field, on Tuesday, and -took in $10 as the day's receipts; out of this he paid $1 ground reut,so that be had a pretty good profit for his day's labor. GENEROSITY.—Last week the state- ment was made in our columns that a resident of Clinton had, while at- tending the Salvation Artuy jubilee in G.dericb, contributed $125 to• wards defraying the expenses of a missionary to India. We have been repeatedly asked who it was. Mr Hill was the gentleman,and we make this announcement without his con- sent. A further contribution, for the same purpose, and of the same amount, has since been given by an- other resident of Clinton—Mr W. C. Searle. Whatever people may think of the army, the disinterested gener- osity of these gentlemen cannot be questioned. To THE FRONT—The Regina Lea- der, of a recent date, thus aliudea to a former Clintonian and brother of W. H. Beesley:—,Mr John G. Beesley, of n Marboro, near Moosejaw,bas 100 acres • , under' crop, very fine. Mrs Beesley, Bennett' i who is• made of the true fibre, has al- ways had faith in the country, and this d year has set herself and grown 2800 cabbages. At the Moosejaw fall show last week, Mre B. succeeded in taking 12 red and 4 blue tickets, and the prize for the best collection of garden pro- duce. Mr Beesley adds the weather here is fine; so far we have had no frost to injure grain, we have good crops and are likely to have good prices , consequently farmers are happy. FOOTBALL.—A football match was played in Seaforth, between the Clin- ton and Seaforth clubs. on Saturday last. The game, as was expected proved to be a very exciting and close one, and resulted in a victory for Clinton, by two goals to one.— The playing of the whole team was excellent. The team consisted of the following: — Goal, Nugent backs, Grant and Agnew ; half -backs, Pten• dergast, (captain) Taylor and Down- ing ; forwards, Dallas, Cooper, Ross, Anderson and Corbett. The boys speak very highly of the kind and courteous treatment they received at the hands of the Seaforth boys, and also of the management of the Queen's Hotel. A football match, which wasto have been played `between Varna and Clinton, on Saturday, is postponed for a week. The Clinton ,junior football club beat the Model- lites. 1 to 0, on Tuesday night.

A long discussion took place on the subject Qf diph- theria, as to whether it to a local or a constitutional disease, some holding that it is local, the poison ledging in the mouth and throat, and then ab- sorbed into the system, others that the poison is first taken from the air into the system, and appears asdiph- theria in the throat, and,by a -high temperature and loss of stength, etc; —Coat.

He has therefore to remain in confinement until the 19th Of this month, His libel suit with Bic Grant is called for the 16th, and Mr Jen- kins' plea was that he wanted to pre- pare his case for this suit. MAKING A CHANGE,—A. M. Bor- chelt, Principal of Blyth Public School, and son of air It. Burchell, of town, has tendered his resignation, to take effect at the end of the year., The reason for this is, not that the board were in any respect dissatisfied with his services, for they would gladly have retained him, but he is ambitious to get higher up, and in- tends to study law. "Ab" is a push. ing, energetic and thoroughly good young man, and will unquestionably euxeed in his new profession, for he is one of those who are bound to site - seed wherever they are. The teach• ing profession will lose one of its most genial and energetic members, and the East Huron Teachers' Asso- ciation will lose the services of ono who has been its Secretary for a long time. We are sure that Mr Burchell has the best wishes of his hosts of friends in the county. Waage beim:toted sate a" ler ,hyo- clred.

He took bis ticket via C. P. R., from A. O. Pattison. The Toronto Young Liberal asso- ciation has elected Mr J. S. Wil: ison president for the current year.

He has gone to dis- pose of two car loads of apples, and to purchase entire stock. He is a particularly good judge of the latter and will likely bring out something nice. He took his ticket of A. O.

He will probably remain a few weeks in the west. His mary friends in the classic city will wish him a pleasant and an enjoyable holiday. MATTERS IN MANITOBA. t,s seen by a Clintonian. Mr Alex Gorrell, and wife, who went to Manitoba, on one of the popular C. P. R. excursions, reached home last Thursday night. Mr Gor- rell's first stopping place in Manitoba was at Carberry, where his eldest son John, and his eldest daughter, Mrs Beacon, reside. The crops here were pretty good, and while they had been touched by the frost the injury was alight. John Gorrell had 110 acres in sheat, (besides other crops) and expected it would; yield him 20 to 25 bushels to the acre. Mr Ba- con bad about 60 acres of wheat, fair- lygood; it had been touchld by the fost, but he was, neverthelese,offered 80c a bushel for it, all round; barley and oats in this neighborhood were a good crop and bad not been affected by the frost. One very noticeable difference between this part of Mani- toba and others, was that the farms here were all fenced, two strands of wire being used; in the vicinity of Carberry thousands of stacks of fine wheat were to be seen. From .Car- berry be went,to Pilot Mound, in the vicinity of which place he has three sons residing—James, Thomas and Robert. Pilot Mound is in Southern Manitoba, and it was in this vicinity that the greatest damage was done by the frost, on the 15th of August, Jas. Gorrell had about 100 acres in wheat, and the.two others had 50 acres each, and it was ail so badly damaged by the frost, that they never attempted to cut it;barley Buffered nearly as bad astbe wheat,and potatoes were also af- fected. Mr Gorrell stopped with a brother of Mr James Werry, of Clin- ton, who has 640 acres of land; he had 200 acres of wheat rendered worthless by the frost; bete he -met a Rev W. Kenner,brother,of Rev John Kenner, formerly of Ontario St. church, Clinton. W. Greenway and John Greenway are brothers of the Manitoba Premier, and their farms are across the road from each other; the first lost all his crops; the latter suffered no loss. In the Pilot Mound district the Southcombes, MoLeans Cockerline, Hagyard and Sterling,all of Hullett, have lost part of their crops. Mr Gorrell states that not. withstanding the very severe reverses these, and others, have met with, they are not entirely disheartened. They feel keenly their position, but won't give up hope. They like the country, know it ,viii grow good grain if it could escape the frost, and are willing to try again in the hope that bettor luck will be , theirs next year. Last year thousands of bushels in the vicinity of Carberry were frozen and none at Pilot Mound; this year the rule is reversed. At Portage la Prairie the crops seem to beparticu• early good. A long drive down into Northern Dakota convinced Mr Gor- rell that the frost had more effectively done its work there,and he concluded that although the farmers of Manitoba were this season bad enough ofl',those of Northern Dakota, in the vicinity of Langdon, were infinitely worse. lfr (force', enjoyed good health while be was away, and consequently comes back looking well.
