What extent, however, it is impossible,
as yet, to ascertain. Mr. Smith has a,
wife and family and has always moved
in first-class society, and the people of
Clinton were greatly surprised when
they heard of his action. Nobody

tion, as he was in re_ eipt of a good sal-
ary,i and had been steemed by every-
one as a perfect gent eman.
•—A Bluevale coirespondent says:
Mrs. Carswell, wife ;of tailor Carswell,
died very suddenly en Monday of last
week. Deceased was in her usual
health and attended divine service on
Sunday, complained Of feeling unwell on
Sabbath evening and was dead before
three o'clock on Monday. • Inflammation
of the bowels is thhught to have been
the trouble, but as she died before medi-
cal aid. could be summoned it is not cer-
tain that this was the cause of her
death. The case is a:peculiarly sad one,
as Mr. and Mrs. _Carswell were strang-
ers in this vicinity, having moved here
one month ago, being just a few months
out from England, iewly married and
the wife was within la short time of cons
,finement. .
--About five o'clock on Friday morn-
ing, the 1st inst., fire was discovered in
the old woollen mill buildings, Lower
Wingham, and before . those living hi
the vicinity had time to, dress them-
selves the place was a perfect mass of
flame. Having been used as a woollen
mill for a number of years, the floors
were completely soaked in oil, and once
the fire was started it burned rapidly.
In close proximity to this building was
a residence, a cooper , shop and a barn,
all of which were destroyed. There had
been no fire in the woollen factory for
. several months, and the machinery was
sold and taken away some time since.
The residence was occupied by Mrs.
Davidson, a widow, who moved in the
day before and. who lost nearly all her
household furniture. The cooper shop
was occupied by Mr. Jas. Wilson. The
fire is supposed to have been the work of
an incendiary, a coal oil can having been
found close by. The property belonged.
to a Mr. Harvey, of Hamilton.

describes what follewed : "Accordingly
a few days ago the ..child was taken to

Finally the lady succeeded in finding

.. —The Clinton New Era of last week
says concerning the closing up proceed
ings in that town and-, Goderieh before
the Scott Act came into force as follows:
Thursday last; the day before the Scott
Act (lame into force in Huron, witnessed
here a great deal of "riotous revelry"
from those opposed to the Aet. Liquor
was dispensed in a -" free -and -easy"
manner that, made it a temptation to
many who had before not used it, and
the consequence was more 'drunkenness
last Thursday night, than has ever been e
known before in one day. At the
Queen's Hotel', although every -dropof
liquor had • been removed during
the day, several_parties estme and tried
'to raise a disturbance, and did make
such a racket that some of the boarders
got up and prepared tp defend them-
selves, expecting they would be assault-
ed in their rooms, but beyond drawing
blood among themselves the "revellers7
did no -harm. On the streets, late at
night were -numbers who had placed no.
restriction on their appetites, and at
one place were counted five men and a
woman who were "casting up accounts."
It is to be hoped that Such disgraceful
seenes havobeen witnessed for the last time
here. Goderich had also a big time on , -
the samo night Every tree and door
around the square was adorned with
crape, a black flag hung at half-mast
from the flag -pole, and on the door of
Rev. T. M. Campbell, who was a very
prominent advocate of the Act, was
hung a black bottle.
