THAT LOVELY RAIN Monday morning's rain was a very welcome one in this vicinity, as it was the first rain of any account since the last week in June. Rains of more or leas importance have been reported all around us for some weeks ,bat not enough to go into the ground hail fallen here for over two months, and we were certainly get- ting pretty dry. But that nice, steady rain of IVlonday, following a nice little shower Saturday night, really went to the roots of things and the grass is already showing the re- sults. We could stand same store, of course, and will probably get it be- fore long. In the meantime it has turned cooler. The latfer part of last week and Sunday was more like July than September.

RECEPTION The reception given in the auditor- ium of the Collegiate Institute on Tuesday afternoon by the Horne and School Club in honour of the staffs of the Collegiate and Public schools, proved to be a very pleasant social event.

ISOU E UC S STRUCK The residence of 101i•, .and Mrs. James Livermore, King street, had a narrow escape form destruction on Saturday last when it was struck by lightning during he storm which broke shortly after noon. No shock was .felt but Mr. and Mrs. Livermore smelled smoke, like the burning of cloth, and began to investigate and on opening the door of a front room found that one side of the window ' curtain had been burned, and ea table drape -and \the front of the table and bed scorched. The fire was soon extinguished but had it not been discovered as soon as it was the damage might have been very much greater. SUNDAY'S BAND CONCERT'S' The Clinton Kiltie Band gave two concerts on Sunday, one at the Huron County Home in the afternoon and another in Library Park at half past eight in the evening. The management and the Home residents enjoyed the very excellent program of sacred music given and the members of the Band deserve credit for giving this yearly program, whit w h m 's al aye much appreciated. The concert given in the Park in the evening was also appreciated, a large number coming in or remaining in to hear the full hour's program. As the weekly band concerts are over this nmay be the last open air concert of the season, unless the season should keep mild and the band should again favor us.
