T. R. Company are culpable in not having a sign board at the crossiijg/and that in accord ance with-the- foregoing facts and -, from the dangerous situation of said , crossing', the •’victims came tri tlieir death.” The deceased .parties were ’friends of the Messrs. Watts, of this town. The’ surviving relatives in , Hamilton will likely bring suit for damages against the Company, Only 'a 1<umor.—A few weeks ago we pdhijshed a local rumor that ason .of Dr. Worthington, of this “T“ town^Tiow of -Fort“Arth u r .Customsy• - ■- wwid^WplttctrriMTr’ArtiYwtrgngj^the'’ present popular and courteous officer here. . We.also stated that we could not findvJhow the rumor originated, and only gave it for what it was wQ,rth. It seems that some persons ori the train from Toronto knew that,Air. Armstrong was anxious to be removed to. the city, and, having heardof Wortliingtrih, ]r.,o/Olinl07if - recently getting a.billet iri the Cus toms, jumped at the conclusion that Mr, Armstrong had had his wish gratified,-and that Worthington, jr., of Clinton, had - been put in his place. , .. A-MAMCiourRBTPORT.—An active citizen whose wife presented him with an heiress last week hod his good nature imposed upon by the attendants reporting .there w.as a , . pair «j£j.heniL„.As^tTje .gentleman. .had been heard to express himself as averse to a family increase unless such addition .were of the male persuasion, hie. chagrin may be bet ter imagined than described when • he heard the news : “twi.ns, sir, and as pretty little lassies as “ever fond fathor laid eyes oil.”. To add to'liis vexation his inajo friends met’him at almost every corner and congratus latcd him on the prosperous condN tion of the domestic branch of Ms business. Of%ourse Im bought the cigars for “the boys” every time as the best way to cover liisilisappolnh ment.

Ladies’ hair neatly trimmed, and all work usually done in a first class dressing establishment will promptly attended to. The attempt to reorganize salt association at. the meeting held in Clinton last week did not come to.any thing, as there was not a full representation. Another meeting was called for yesterday, but with what-resultHwedo-iiotknow.-Witb-- out concerted action the salt inters egts. of Huron will Lose theirsavor. Executive Le^iencv.’'--^ Owing, we believe, to the persistent efforts of Afessrs Garrow Proudfoot, Thomas Beamish, who is in prison as being a party to the death of w’m, Alaynes, will be released in about one month. Henry, .whose sentence was 20 years, will, it is thought, get ouTin ’''“about three •years. . • Wind and Rain.—Thursday even ing one of the heaviest down pours of rain that ever took place fn 'a given time occurred in. Clinton. It was preceded hy a violent storm which' suddenly started up about 7 p. m, Ttie wind and the rain con*- tinued at intervals during tbe night,’' doing considerable damage in blow*, ing down fences etc. A large soft maple shade tree, about *10 inches yifi-d ia m e torppm=0n tari o -S t., opposi t o the residence of Mr. James Smith, was twisted off about five feet fiom the ground, and large branches of trees on Mr. Farran’s property and elsewhere were torn from the parent stems and cast as orphaned waifs upon the forbidding ground.

He con sequently made more searching in*, vestigation for the missing nna'n up to late in tbe, evening, but without, .any. success. Search .was discontinued owing to th.e storm and darkness. Early Friday morning the search Wps, continued, and about 9 o'clock Ms hat .was found floating* in the race, or flume, wlmne the water is seven, or eight feet deep,-and short ly after the body.

A Fisticuff Encounter at Wingham.—Au altercation of a serious character ss reported to have occurred at Wingham on Tuesday between a local merchant by the nuqie of Holmes and a Hamilton , traveller named Alex. Alunro. It appears from what can, be learned of the affair, that Muuro was desirous of disposing of. a bill of goods to Holmes, and. in the course of con* versation the latter enquired when the goods cou’d be shipped. AJunro replied that they could be sent with the utmost"despatch, and it was ar* ranged that Holmes should visit Alunro’s sample rooms to inspect the goods, However, Alunro went to his store several times dming tbe day, but on every occasion Holmes ■ excused himself on the plea of busi ness. Finally towards evening Alunro proceeded to the store again, when Holmes remarked that he had changed his mind and would not go over to the room. This incensed Minnro,"wlnj^aIrlrougl rTrTnnMtTrrarrBrunels' aird only recently recovered from an attack of illness, made use of some rather unQQmplimefit&ry remarks to wards Holmes, and boasted qf his ability to “lick” that gentlphian if he would come outside.

Air.-Nichol will.be .remembered by many of tire older residents in this vicinity. Born at Carlisle, Eng ' land, in 1809 he emigrated to this then wilderness when 21 years of age and two years later settled in Clinton, which, at that-time, consist ed of half a dozen lag houses. His homestead; w^s situated near where the G.. W. II., crosses.the Huron Koad^and adjoining-that of the late John Gibbings. He was called out for active service during the rebel lion of .’37, and when peace aguin bicoke township, York. There he -remained for 40 years removing to. .Beeton some seven or eight years agp, and living.a retired life.

Up this way tlm majority of people do not think the editor of the Mit chell Recorder either clever or gentle manly, notwithstanding the Seaforth Expositor’s opinion to the contrary. Many think that an office^nderThe Crooks Act wlio wiirvisifan adjoining County and break the law by obtain ing liquor in violation of the Canada Temperance Act is neither clever nor gentlemanly. But when such ah one prates openly of having violated the law without entering on,a, prosecution of the guilty parties, we wonder how the Crooks Act is run in Perth under hiB personal supervision. There are people who think the AHtcbell editor is decrying the.Soott Act to cover his conduct in the recent electionrin Perth, he having, after a consistent support of the Act for, years, turhe'd round and opposed it.

We regret to have to announce the death of OUT' old friend Mr, Robert Young, an old pioneer, Which occured at the old homestead, Golborne town ship, after a short illness. Deceased was born at. Maybole, Ayrshire, Scot land, in March, 1797, and was con- sequen'tly in liis eighty-ninth year. He left bis native land in 18H5, and came to the maritime prov.nc s, where he travelled for about seven .years, after ’which he returned , to Scotland, where he lived- for'some years. In 1829 he married Agnes Young, of ’Renfrew, and, again em igrated to Canada in 1835, settling in the Huron tract. During the period of Rebellion he carried on the business of butcher in Goderich, and was well known to many of ’our -old-time residents. From his fifty-fifth to his sixty-fifth year he wore, spectacles, but one day he lost his “glasses,’’ and was forced to read wtfthbi’t'the.m, and ever after used his naked, eyes for all purposes. Up* to the .tithe of his death he was .a temperate, man but not a teetotaller.
