Boil, the Water. Secretary
Burd, of the'SmithsonianTnstitute,
Jias,written a'letter to a newspaper,
in which he. calls special attention
to the beneficial effect of boiling in
jniicreasing the, healthiness of water.
[ Had this practice prevailed on the
Ltfirst outbreak of the typhoid disease,
which Ims carried off hundreds re
cently at-Plymouth,- Pa.?- -he says it
is very probable that the ijp.mbgrldf
•cases of illn'essuaud of deaShfinight
have been greatly diminished. In
the cholera season, he says, this
treatment is especially important.
He says water should he boiled
lively for half an hour, in order to
kill the germs of disease.
"**ThREE JMPORTA'^'T'DrPSr^^OUell--,
ing the immersions, Sunday before

Another occasion w«s where the
Egyptians were pursuing the Israls

Lord caused the waters to liOMf back

The third occasion was. where the

Pink-eve in Human BfJngs.—-A
zymotic disease analogous to the
pink-eye in horses, has broken out
in various parts of London township,
and is 'causing considerable alarm
among the people. In S. S. 17,
Hyde Park, it -JiaR attacked several
children of the school, and threatens
to go all through the neighborhood.'
The symptoms- ato low fever and in
flammation of one or both eyes,
with a clear and distinct pink of the
sclerotic membrane, not congestion,
as in ordinary inflammation. The
eye remains clear, with a watery ex
pression. The disease communicates
itself to the neighboring tissues, and
the eye is all but closed. The
diseaBrt runs from eight days to two
weeks; the faco breaks out in a rash
resembling scarlet fever, aricompan*
■ied by nausea arid irritability of
tifmper. The vision"is inflamedin

Agricultural Society,—The di
rectors of the Hullett Branch Agri-
cultural " Society will meet at the
Commercial Hotel, Clinton, on Sat
urday June 27, to arrange for the
Fall Exhibition. The directors will
be pleased to have as many of the
farmers attend ay can make it cons
venient. It is in the interest of the
farmers that these societies are oper
ated, and the directors will be glad
to receive any suggestions having for
their object the carryiugfOut the
aims of the Society. Those of our
townsmen who take an interest in
the Society, and all should, might
put in an appearance and help ajong
the good cause.
A Mistake.—The Seaforth Sun
says: “ L’he town council cbf C inton
gave their two bands $100 each and
bought them their uniforms while
h^rethey have got nothing as far as
we know." The-’iSttn has beep
wrongly informed, the town council
of Cliuton has not been guilty pf any
such liberality. Does our coteiu
take the Clinton councillors for sav*.
ages? Music hath charms to soothe
the savage breast, but our council
has no savage breasts, and no need
for music. There might, however,
be some Ravage breasts at our coun
cil board weie a’grant of $100 to
each ^of dur town bands proposed.
Iu fact we verily believe .that some
'savage work would be done were
such a proposition made, even re '
suiting in scalping, The ladies are
getting up what well be a third baud
here, if the movement meets with
success, and in such an event the
council might be more pliant, especi
ally if the ladies waited on the coun
cil in .the form of a deputation.

Lost or Mislaid.—Th'ere were
rumors a week or so agu*that. the
seething indignationittta were getting
.up a petition . against the. wicked-
Franchise Bill We have not noticed
its. presentation in the House. Is
it possible we have,., overlooked the
advent of the precious document, or
verb the persuasive powers of the
“workers-” not equal to the occasion,
and no names secured? or were the
“faithful” of .Clinton so stiff-neck’d
that- they would noy. see, though,
their eyes were opened ? and. were
the Tories here'not to -be entrapped
by false representations as they,
were iu other localities ? There is
now a rumor that the document was'
lost or mislaid. The truth ?of the
■’tiiatter byingj we are told, that the
doc,uinent^ was handed around from
Brown to Jon<’R,from 4ones to
Smith,'from.Smith id Robinson, and
so bn, each succeeding bearer of it
protesting that his predecessor could
not have worked else there would
-have been more Autographs' of- seeth
ing indignators. But tlie.iuore-ener -

The propeller Scotia from Owen
Sound ’to1 St. Catherines with wheat
had to call at the Dufferin pier on her
way down to complete her cargo.
When nearing the pier on Wednesday
she-ran aground, but getting off with
out apparent damage she completed
her loading. On leaving the pier on
her northern journey she grounded
again, and so serious was the damage,
occasioned by the second shock, that
she was steered for the harbor.
Here again trouble awaited the
Scbtia, for, keeping rather tod much
to tlie south She again grounded, and
remained’ fixed till the schooner
Rathbun had lightened her of six
hundred barrels of salt, when bo h
-vessels entered the harbor. On Fri
day the.good wheat was placed in the
Grand Trunk elevator and on SatuY,
day the damaged was loaded into 11,

made into blue ribbon beer. On

dock at Port Huron for'repaivs, on

turn for the . wheat and enough salt
to make a full cargo. From the time

We had a grand picnic arid foot ball
match here last Saturday.’ Although
the weather was not all that could
be desired,it could not be helped arid
yery few grumbled. The event took
place at the- residence of Mr. Alex
Young, arid the foot ball match was
between the Goderiah High School
club and the Carlow club. The God-
derich boys came off victorious Bopr
ing one against their opponen t’s none, j
a result which the many friends of
the Carlow club took with little satis
faction, for.all that the-visitors wete
treated well and loft for homo well
satisfied. After all had refreshments,
dancing was indulged in by many.
