On the morning of April 7th, the hostler at the Queen's hotel, Seaforth, found on entering the barn the body of a man lying dead upon the floor, with marks of blood on the face and on the floor. Several identified the body as that of a man who had been seen about town the previous day. He gave his name as Hogg, and said he was a carpenter. An inquest was held that night, and from the medical evidence given of tige result of a careful post mortem examination, the following verdict was rendered at an early hour next morning:—That the deceased came to his death from concussion of the brain caused by violent contact with a hard, smooth, slightly rounded surface, but whether such injury was inflicted by a weapon in the hands of some per- son or by a fall, the jury cannot de- termine from the evidence. It begins to look as if the,Goderich Signal has turned annexationist. That journal has taken the recent election adverses very seriously to heart. It is only natural to feel badly over defeat, but after all "Dan" is a good fellow, and it is too bad that he should let his moroseness lead him so far. Editer Holmes, of the Clinton New Era, delivered a temperance lecture in Goderich last week, and the Sunday previous he preached very acceptably in Clinton. Huron can boast of two tip-top preacher -editors. Mr. McMahon, teller of the Bank of Commerce at Goderich, has been re- moved to the Montreal branch of that Bank.

He was on the gangway en- tering his barn and was about closing the door from its fastenings the wind suddenly seized it and it struck Mr. McNab with great force inflicting a severe cut upon his lip and bruising his face. The services of a physician were and keep the arm, though no doubt required to attend to the wound, but no should it heal it will be stiff, as the cut serious results are anticipated. is at the joint. A short time ago a gentleman who had been associated with the Patrons of Industry determined to remove to the Northwest and concluded to take a year's supplies with him. He was con- versant with the prices at which his organization purchased - but concluded to try some of the local stores. With this idea he dropped into an Arthur business place, and before emerging therefrom he had purchased goods to the amount of $160. After the trans- action was concluded he frankly ad- mitted that in every instance the prices were lower than those ;quoted to the society, =while t' the same he had -the advantages of personal choice. -Arthur Enterprise..

Bonnett, were taking a fat steer to Listowel, the brute got outrageous when half way and got both men down three times in Mr. For- far's field and would have killed Mr. McKee but for the timely aid of men and dogs that drove the brute off.
