He was splitting wood in the yard and not no- ticing the clothes line above hini, the axe became caught, and glancing with such force on his forehead as to inflict a very painful wound.

The feelings of our cricket'club can better be imagined' than described when they became acquainted with the fact that some mean, contemptible wretch brad played havoc with their grounds. They have done considerable work on the crease this spring and was just getting it in fine shape when on Thursday night large clots of sod were torn and otherwise badly .cut up.

The Clinton NewseR�ecord says: -"A. concert company travelling under the name of "Wild & Blue" played in Sea - forth and Goderich last week. Blue was in Clinton on Thursday arranging as he claimed, to play here, and acted the part of a deadbeat and swindler. Wild was also here during the same day. The former used the News -Re- cord telephone for connection with Sea- forth and promised to pay the Central office here for the service, but such a small matter escaped his dishonest memory. He also neglected to pay his hotel bill' and again demonstrated that he was a deadbeat. The same cheeky Blue, one would think, was nos in any way particular as to the evidence of fraud he left behind, for he also re- ceived a collect telegraph message and promised that Wild would pay for it, but both are yet free and none of these bills settled. If the business communi- tiesof Seaforth and Goderich were treated similarly it is passing strange how Wild & Blue can have their freedom long. Exchanges should pass such vultures around and give them the run when they strike their' town. Jut as we go to Press we learn that the hotel bill of the same troupe at Goderich was left unpaid." Mr. T. Bean, of Ailsa Craig, who was sentenced sometime ago in London to five years imprisonment in the King- ston Penitentiary for burglary, has been pardoned, in accordance with the. wishes of a large number of citizens, expressed by means of a petition to the Minister of Justice Mrs.•Thos.

A Marine City paper has a new etyle obituary notice. The editor laid himself open for a thrashing in the fol lowing: -"While it is almost a crime to speak ill of the dead, we feel it our duty to tell the truth about Miss Mary Boyer, who died last night. She never spoke a decent word about any being, living or dead; slander sprung from her mouth like toads frem a girl in the fairy tale, If she goes to heaven we don't want to be there, and we believe we voice the sentiments of every man, woman and young lady in this burg.

Low Waters ise the.daices The water level, in Lake Huron and the St Clair River, which was last July at the highest point that it has reach- ed in eight years, has been falling steadily during last winter and this spring, and is now nine inches below the level of last July. The statement which is going the rounds that the level of Lake Huron is lower this year than ever before, is not correct. The water is still about fifteen inches above the lowest recorded level, which was in December 1891. Business Changes. Mr. Wm. H. Levett, who we reported as going to leave town a few weeks ago, has concluded to remain with us, having purchased Mr. A. Q. Bobier's fine block and business on Saturday, 11th. Mr. Levett: needs no introduction to the people of this section, as he is well and favorably known by all. The ADVOCATE wishes him the gratifying success in the future that has crowned his honest and square dealings in the past. Mr. Bobier will now devote his attention to the creamery.
