No one who uses this incomparable dredging thinks of trying any other preparation for the hair. On Friday last, Mr. Wm. Patterson, of Seaforth, met with a most painful accident while working in the l3roadtoot cot Box factory. In some way his left hand came in contact with a saw, and before he was aware that anything had happened, hie little finger was completely severed from the rest of his hand, almost at the knuckle. On Thursday of last week Mr. Jacob Taylor, of Clinton, met with a painful acoidoni. He was coastidg on his bioyole down the hill leading out of Bayfield, when a conveyance which was ahead of him, stopped just at the turnto the bridge, completely blocking the way and causing him to run into it. He was thrown from the wheel, and the seat bar made e cut several inches long in his thigh. Andrew Swan, of Bruoefield, can justly lay claim to being one of the early settlers of Huron: He came into what is now Clinton in the year 1835 -just sixty years ago -and with his , father settled at Harpurhey shortly after. The family removed to Brncefield, where they have lived ever since. Mr. Swan is hale and hearty, eyideutly good for a number of years' active labor yet.-OIinton New Era. The last revised assessment roll for the town of Seaforth, gives the follawing statistics; The total value of real property amounts to $553,248, personal property, $74,375; taxable income, $8,40C. The total assets of the town, including water- works, town hall. schools, etc, amount to $51,000 The total population of the town is 2,412; there are 521 children between the ages of 5 and 16, between 7 and 13, 298; between 16 and 21, ,242. The water level in Lake Huron and the St. Clair river, which was last July at the highest point which it has reached in eight years, has been falling steadily during last winter and this spring, and is now about nine inches below the level of last July. The statement which is going the rounds that Lake Huron is lower ,tbie year than ever before, is not correct. The water is still about fifteen inches above the lowest recorded level, which was in Dec- ember 1891, Perhaps the first settler of, Goderich township passed away on Tuesday, in the death of Mr. Anthony Elliott, of the 7th con, Deceased had reached the age of 83 years and 6 months. Ho was born in the county of Fermanagh, Ireland, and came -to Huron conety in 1833, settling on the lot on which he has ever since resided. He was a life long Orangeman, being possibly one of the oldest in Canada. A Methodist in religion and an ardent supporter of the Dominion Goyernment. He was a brother. - in -law of Mr. George Hanley, Clinton, and leavoa a family of two sons and three daughters. Some five or six weeks ago,, T. Thomp son, of Clinton, aged 83 years while taking; off his boots, struck his foot at the cords above the heel against the rung of the chair apon which he was sitting, causing an abrasion of the skin. Shortly after: ward evidence of blood poisoning set in and the patient gradually grew weaker until Monday evening when death ended his suffering. Mr. Thompson was a re; tired farmer, having been for years a resident of East Wawanosh, his home:. stead being located within a short distance of Auburn, on the Goderich and Blyth gravel road. Hie remains were conveyed to Seaforth for interment. A. Mr, Lang, from Calgary, Northwest, shipped a car lord of young bulls from Seaforth on Saturday Last. There were eighteen in the lot, and they were all pur- chased in that vicinity. They are for use on the stock ranches in the Northwest. They were a very nice lot, and the prices paid ran from about $ 70 to $90,, Mr. Lang does not pur,:hase dehorned bulls, as be says they are no use on the ranches, as without tbeir horns they are unable to de• fend themselves when attacked by tbo native steers, so that any wbo raise bulls for the Northwest market would do well not to dehorn them. The Canadian American,Chioago,Ill„has this;to say of an old iesident of Elimville:- "Among the leading contractnrs, builders and architectural doeigners in tbis city stands our fellow countryman, Mr. Sam Halle. Since coming to Chicago about twelve years ago he has been a busy man and, knowing every detail of the business his energy has borne good frait. He is now one of the prominent men of the 12th ward, is President of the West Side Improvement Association and a member of Menoken Club. He is a large property holder on Adams street between St. Louis avenue and Central Park avenue, and lives in a the residence.

Mr. Alexander MoMurchie, reeve , of Clinton, died on Thursday last. Since 1882, he has been a sufferer from diabetes. He was born in Vaughan township, York, on August 1st, 1835, and was not, there- fore, an old man; his father was one of. the first settlers in York.

The members of the board of health for last year waited on the council board on Monday evening relative to the Logan smallpox claim. They reported that they had received notice of suit if the claim was not paid and wanted to know what the council were prepared to do in the matter.
