ON WRECKED TRAIN • A seriolus collision occurred early yesterday morning when two Cana- dian National trains, one going west the other coming east, ran.into each other head on near Parry Sound. As a result several are dead, both crew and passengers. Those on the west bound .train seemed to fare worst. All the injured passengers were in a colonist coach • on the west bound train, which was badly wrecked and afterwards caught fire. • Amongst the passengers on the train coming east were Mrs. Fred Siouan and her two children, who ,were ontheir way from Caperoel to spend the Easter season with relativ- es here. They were uninjured and are now safe in Toronto •:with friends. It is supposed that there was a large consignment of express from the Clinton Knitting Company on the train going west, but no details as to the fate of same has reached here. It may, be that the express was un- injured, but the express car would probably be next to the car which. was burned.

Hale, hearty ` and looking forward to a summer's work, how's that .for a man in the last lap of a century race?' ' SOME GOOD TIPS The St. Marys Journal -Argus • has the following to say about local items handed in for publication, which we can heartily endorse: - - "Many of our local organizations, such as church societies and commun- ity assdciations, have a press secret- ary whose duty .it is to send in a short report of their meetings to the local newspaper. The idea is an ex, cellent one and the reports are usu- ally welcomed by the editor. But newspaper space is valuable and there 'are one dr two points that need to be observed- if the report is to find a place in the paper. Lr the first place, the report should be sent in while it is still news, not just the week before the next monthly meeting of the society. A second important point is to confine the report td items that are of some interest to the reading pub- lic. It is not necessary to give the 'full minutes, including the number of the hymn sung.. -'`The Journal -Argus is glad to.publish- reports• of 'these community gatherings throughout the district, but we would like press sec- retaries to bear specially in mind that their reports should be sent in while they are fresh encl. also to kindly eli- minate items of the minutes, which are of no interest to the ordinary reader." 1418. PATERSON LEAVING General regret is felt in town over the'intended departure of G. R. Pat- erson, Agricultural Representative for Huron, who is being transferred to Peel County, with headquarters at Brampton. Mr. Paterson, whq has been in Clinton for the past three years, has, in addition to -performing the duties of his office with enthusiasm, proved himself aublic-s i •it p pu ed citizen, tak- ing an interest in n all matters which were for the betterment of the town or community. He has taken a keen interest in the success of the annual Spring Fair, in the reorganized Board cif Ti'ade and was., this year elected president of the, Horticultural Soc- iety. On Friday evening last the mem- bers of the Community Tennis Club met at the home of Ma. and Mas. J. J. Zapf°, when a jolly evening was spent together andbefore its close Mr. and Mks. Paterson were made the recipients of a handsome end table, as a little souvenir of the good times spent on the tennis court: Mia, and Mrs. Paterson will'be mis- sed in the circle of thein friends in Clinton, whose best wishes will fol- low them to their new home, 'Mir.G. A. 1VIcCague, who has been Mr. Paterson's assistant since June last, when he graduated. ` from the O.A.C., will-aueceed him in office. LITTLE LOCALS The W. C. T.

Early Thursday morning an ice jam :formed, which' extended. uP the river behind ' the bridge.. The. fishermen were at work early in the morning to save their boats. The river rose about ten feet and flooded all the 'flatso n the mirth side of the river so that the water was,. up to the roofs of the boat houses. By go- ing: in skiffs to where their boats, were tied up for the winter,amd at- taching ropes to the boats and .when pike polling back the fishermenp were able to flout them up £o the Old Mn Leod house, where they were Secur- ely tied. Thus they _were able to save all the boats except the old Helen McLeod, and A..J: Carver's small /Seat, which were caught' in the jam and smashed to pieces. pome of• the boats which were saved were also injured. Between two and three o'clock sev- eral spectators were .on the south pier when they noticed the -jam moving and the water beginning to flow over the . approach to the pier. Several made a rush for the land, and Mm. James Fowlie was caught by the current and carried off his feet and over onto the beach. William Mc- Dool, who was the- drily, one who wit- nessed . the accident, went to his as- sistance. Fortunately Mr. Fowlie was none the worse after the fall and cold dip. The water flowing, over the ap- proach to the south pier at a depth of two feet carrying with it onto the beach huge cakes of ice reminded one -of Niagara Falls. It was the worst jam and flood that has been witnes- sed here for over twenty years. Mein worked at the ends of the piers with pike poles trying to ,res Have the congestion,, and, after mov- ing at different intervals during the day, the jam finally, cleared away shortly after six o'clock carrying with it fishermen's reels, steel drums, buoys, fish boxes, and everything in its path, besides a number of cedar poles which Caine .dawn the current from inland points. Parts 'of the north and south pier were ripped off and carried away:' the front of Ed. Sturgeon's red boat house smashed in, ten feet ripped off the side and the roof raised and oth- er damage done to boat houses and fish shanties as the river rose and the jun moved onward. The river was the scene of at- traction for many of the residents during the..day, . It made one thank- ful that we Iive on high land where there is no Idanger • rom floods. g The village is somewhat lighter since Friday, when the street lights were turned on for the first time.

The play is from the period short- ly after the freeing of the negroes of the south. St. Ives is the property of Col. St. Ives, whose qnly 1 eirs are two grandaughters, who, are cousine.

Goderich Township Some Pioneer Reminiscences: — There's a story told of the late John Holmes, one of the early pioneers of Goderich Township, who's memory is revered by those who still live after seeing the virgin forests become waw- ing wheat fields. John had assisted a goodly number of- farriers out his way td rifise their barns, It cattle John's turn to raise his barn. Ho was an Irish gentleman, noted for 'un- common integrity and uprightness of heart, combined with a wholesome fear of God, and he was no drinker. Iris neighbors had arranged before hand to put this integrity to the test. "Well John," said they, "If you- will pass the grog around we will raise yotur barn for you." John's answer was characteristic, "Well boys, if you can't ranee my barn without the grog, go home, and I will pay risen to raise my barn for me." The barn was rais- ed. In an s alumo`t Unknown � spot an the farm 'opposite to where the Holmes-• ville Cemetery now 'stands, there' lies the lonely grave of John's only brother, Thomas, who came with him to Canada almost 100 years ages, and wird was one of the first pioneers to pass away and was buried before the present site of Holmesirille cemetery was chosen. John and Thomas are remembered • with love by silver - haired friends across the Atlantic, proving the truth of the words of Soloman, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Mrs. Beaton and Mrs. Egan, both widows, are two of John Hollies' daughters, residing 'still in Clinton, Tara `'°.,youigsters.;veil a basket or farm produce on the aria trudged from the farm of. the .late Robert ' Baker, another; Irish gentleman and early pioneer of Goderich township, to the town of Goderich, along twelve mile.% with only a blazed trail to follow. It was eveningwhen the two lads returned along the same blazed trail, covering twenty-four miles, in all, and carrying each a brand . new hoe over the shoulder, to assist their father in : farming, John Baker claims to be one of these young brave lads and still lives, nearing ninety - years, on his farm with his only daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. I.' Jones, and his grandchildren, We trust he may be spared many years yet. Mr. Baker is an uncle i f Mrs. Beaton and Mrs. Egan of Clin- ton. Mr. Fred Eihveod has returned to 1V4acklin, Sask., after spending the winter with friends in Goderich and Goderich Township: The manyy friends of Mr. Wm. Ell- wood are sorry to hear that he is sessc(usly ill in Goderich hospital. Miss Olive Sturdy is visiting Huron ;Road friends for a couple of weeks.
