ABN - West Huron Farmers' Institute held a meeting at Goderich on June 6th. Wingham promises to be a gala town on Dominion Day. The Foresters are making preparations on a grand scale for the occasion. County council week. Messrs. Cantelon and Cook, prominent Clinionions are now enjoy:ne a trip to England. Mumps appear to be quite prevalent in several parts of the county. A Sunday School excursion to Port Huron, over the L. H. & B. railway is announced for June 22nd. During the furious storm one night last week lightning struck the cupola on the Goderich jail, and made the boards and splinters fly, 1; oth outside and in- side the building. A part of the cornice was ripped off, a scantling alongside the window torn out, and plaster and glass shattered, but fortunately no fire fol- lowed, doubtless owing to the drenching ram which was falling. In the hail storm which passed some time previ- ously over 40 panes of glass were broken in the building; and now Governor Dickson and Turnkey Henderson are wondering what the next visitation will be. A diabolical attempt was made to wreck the evening express from Strat- ford to Goderich, due in Clinton at 9:20 last Saturday evening. Some fiends had piled timber and stones on the track and had the train been on time the chances are, as the night was cloudy, the train would have been thrown down the embankment, but Mr. Holliman, of Stapleton, had been to Seaforth, and finding that the train was late started to walk home along the trck, carrying a lantern. When about two miles east of Clinton he found the obstruction on the track, and being unable to move it, he went back towards Seaforth, and warned the approaching train, thus averting a large loss of property and most probably loss of lives. The Wingham fire company will com- pete at the Walkerton tournament on the 15th, (yesterday). Blyth brass band is making great pro- gress. Among the discoveries recently made by the assessor of West Wawanosh was that that township has 40,706 assessable acres and real property -valued at $1,- 136, 575. The 2166 persons in the town- ship require 215 dogs to worry their 3650 head of cattle, 1793 sheep, 623 hogs and 1185 horses. The acerage tilled shows the citizens to be a very indus- trious class, but they keep 9179 acres of swamp land on hand. The proposed Goderich and Wingham railway is taking tangible shape and has now good prospects of completion. George the hatter was run into the Wingham lockup one day last week. A steer belonging to Mr. J. W. Walker was killed by lightning one day last week. A short time ago as Mr. John News- wanger, Zurich, was driving along the Loadon road, near Rogerville, his horse got frightened at some goats that were feeding on the. roadside and ran away. Mr. Newswanger was thrown from the vehicle and seriously injured and still lies in a pre:.a'ious condition, being par- alyzed and unable to move a linib. The plate glass fronts were last week put in the stores of Messrs. Jackson Brothers and C. W. Papst, Seaforth. They are going to be among the hand- somest stores in town. An accident which might have re- sulted in death happened to Mabel Oliver, of Bluevale. It appears that while playing on the embankment at Nixon's grist mill, she fell into the water, a distance of twenty feet. Lucl- ily, where she fell was not a shallow spot, or the fall might have caused in stant death. When first noticed she was climbing up the embankment. met at Goderich last A young son of Mrs. George Maynard, Listowel, was kicked in the eye by a horse the other day. His skull was also cracked, but at last accounts he is doing fairly well. At the semi-annual meeting of the County Orange Lodge for South Perth held in St. Marys, it was decided to par ticipate in the 12th July celebration in Sarnia this year.

Watkins, who served his apprenticeship in the Listowel Standard office, is manager. Mr. Mc- Donald also publishes the Moose Jaw Times, which is also managed by a graduate of the Standard office, W. A. Forster. Mitchell Advocate: Thursday morning John Hill and Ted Merryfield came near being drowned in the mill pond. They were out in a boat, and, being pretty well loaded with whiskey, they kept rocking the skiff until it upset. Hill, being a good swimmer saved himself but Merryfield sank a second time, when Fred Stewart went down after him and rescued him from a watery grave. WELLING TON. Mr. Jno. McKay, principal of Mount Forest Telegraph, shorthand and Type Writing School has accepted a lucrative position in a Detroit mercantile house. The annual picnic of St. Patrick's Church, Proton, will be held in O'Don- nell's grove on Thursday, June 23. Michel Doerbecker, brewer, has dis- appeared from Salem, leaving liabilities of $21,000. Many of the residents of Salem and Elora are his victims. The Presbyterians and Methodists of Palmerston have a very neighborly way of doing things. Last Sunday, when the Methodists' preacher was away at Conference, the Presbyterian minister, the ` Rev. J. M. Aull, preached union services, in the morning in his own church, and in the evening in the Meth- odist. church. The Arthur Enterprise says "A couple of gentlemen in the village are putting their heads together with the idea of forming a block pavement." Does it mean a sort of block -head pavement ? They must have some awfully big block -heads there (or else very, small streets) if two are sufficient. About one month ago a yearling ewe belonging to Mr. Thos. Rafter sr., Peel, gave birth to one lamb of diminutive preparations which soon died. Three weeks later much to the surprise of the owner, the same yearling produced an- other lamb of strong and vigorous qual- ity. Those accustomed ta sheep raising claim this to be an unprecedented occur- ence. Mr. Thos. Patterson, of Maryboro, Treasurer, returned home last Thursday from his visit to Scotland, where he met many of his old acquaintances, and put in a very enjoyable holiday. cLaughlin Co'v Have still a fully assorted stock of Staples, Dress Goods, Prints, Gloves, Hosi- ery, Gents' Furnishings, Boots and Shoes, etc. WHERE DO YOU Half the people of our County don't know the position of one To another.

Last week the Stratford Herald bought the Times, of that city, and merged these two large journals into one.

The Dingmans have transformed the Herald into a magnifi- cent sheet, have inaugurated a daily issue, have built a fine brick block, and now have commenced buying out their competitors.
