FAREWELL SERMON.—rev. C. R.
31(.tthews will preach his farewell ser-
mon in the C. M. Church on Sabbath
evening next.
Music. —The Goderich band while
on their way to Seaforth on the 24th,
played a few popular airs at the Grand
Trunk station.
BUILDING.—The foundation for the
addition to the new organ factory
building, is being built, and the build-
ing is to be pushed forward imme-
diately.
NEW SIDnwAI.K.—A new sidewalk
has been laid in front of the town hall,
which was much needed. Our street
committee well' very prompt in having
this matter attended to, as the plank
had no sooner arrived, than they im-
mediately set the men to work.
Goons Sro1,Ex.—On Tuesday night
last some persons entered the shop of
Mr. John Smith, Tailor, and took there-
from, some 15 suits of clothes together
withagnantity of cloth. The party ob-
tained an entrance through the cellar
window, which had been left open during
the day to throw in wood. No clue to
the party can be obtained.
PERSONAL.—Mr. E. IIolines, of the
.Vele Era, left on a trip to the North
Weston Friday morning last, whither he
intents staying about six weeks. A
good time and a pleasant journey to
you, brother.—We are pleased to see
our old friend, Mr. R. McMath, back to
town again. IIe is very" busy and in-
tends stopping here only a short time.
11USIIiNCL-1Ve doubt if any clothing
establishment in the 1Vest can boast of
their business more than Mr. Thos.
Jackson, the `t famous” clothier of this
town. Mr. Jackson has now 21 hands
in his employ, and has orders for three
months ahead. For the past month
his glands have been working three and
four hours over time, and still have
not been able to fill the orders.
SOMETHING NEW.—In or'd'er to get
rid of hotel pests, the loafers, who will
sit in the bar -room all day, in the hope
of being asked to drink, the license com-
missioners for South Perth have issueda
peremptory order for the removal of all
chairs and seats out of such rooms.
This has been the rule in several of the
better class hotels for some time past,
and lifts pleased everybody save the
professional bummers and loafers who
are not only too lazy to work, but have
the intpuclence to importune their ac-
quaintances to buy liquor for them.
LUCKY FIND.—On Saturday last Mr.
J. T. eloper, baker, of this place, drove
to Seaforth with a load of bread. He
disposed of it all and was on his way
home, when he discovered that he had
lost t1 c ;"•n:•eeds, amounting to 88.00.
1i.'dimwit Horne, however, thinkitii Cit
useless to return and look fur
Lumley. After coming Houle, he re-
solved to return and hunt the lost
treasure, which he succeeded in finding.
Ile had pulled the bills out of his
pocket, near C'artuichael's hotel, and
on cowing to the place he found the
bills separately, within ten feet of each
other. How they escaped being picked
up is a Mystery, as there were num-
bers passing to and fro past the place,
and it was fully six hours from the
time he lost them till they were found.
—MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Otte of
the saddest affairs in the annals of the
history of Cana-ia occurred at London
Tuesday evening last. The steamer
Victoria had been running on the
Thames during the day, conveying ex-
cursionists to Springbank and return.
" On returning at 5 o'clock between
six and eight hundred people are sup-
posed to be on board, the boat only
being intended to carry between three
and four hundred. When a short dis-
tance up the river she capsized owing to
the weight on the upper deck, being
then in about 15 feet of water. A
large number of those on the upper
deck escaped and immediately assisted
in rescuing others. The number
dro\(•ned is not exactly known. About
19:3 bodies have been found so far and a
'Lumber are still missing. Among those
lost were the two Misses Foxton of this
town with their little step -brother
which has cast a gloom over this town.
The corpses arriverrl here on Wednesday
evening last and the funeral took place
yesterday, when a large number of
friends followed their remains to the
cemetery. Their sorrowing relatives
have the sympathy of the entire coiu-
uiunity
hers continued to pour in until about 3
o'clock. The track was in very good
condition, and was said by some of the
judges to be the best they had ever
seen.

the crowds began to pour in from the heat.—Entries :—" Mareuis of Lorne,"

1Vingham brought down a very large ertson; "Little Bonner," M. Nichol- principally from Blyth. At, son; / Dexter, John Rattenbury. • In
9 o'clock about the time of the appear- the first heat Little Bonner took the
ance of the Jubilee singers the streets lead and after a short way round was
were literally crowded. Between 9 passed by Dexter, who took the heat ;
and 10 a loaded train came from
Exeter and intermediate stations and
at 10 the special train from Stratford
brought up a vary large number grin-
: cipally from Seaforth and Mitchell.
The town presented a very fine appear-
- ance being well decorated with flags Sc.
• expressing practically the loyalty of our
citizens. The programme commenced
with 'a brass band parade by our town
band and we must say, we were cer-
tainly pleased with the manner in
which they are progressing. They also
played at intervals during the day.
The Jubilee singes then made their
appearance and rendered several of the
so-called plantation songs. They how-
ever turned out not to he genuine, and
are supposed to be local characters
under the mark of coloring. However
they were well received and rendered
some very entertaining pieces which
were eagerly listened to. At 10 o'clock
foot races took place, on Isaac Street,
when the following prizes were
awarded :—

There was no running race on ac-
count of it not being filled properly.
In some of the heats there was con-
siderable excitement, and • we under-
stand a good deal of money changed
hands. Everybody seemed .to be or-
derly, and nothing of any account pc-
curred to near the pleasure of the day,
TILE SAY -MAKERS.
The evening was the most attractive
part of the programme. The contata
of the Hay -makers in the town • hall
being the grandest show of the -day.
Long before the hour of -commencing
the tower hall was literally packed, and
hundreds had to turn away being un-
able to obtain admission. At S o'clock
the proceedings commenced, and
throughout the scenes were well repre-
sented, and the different representive
characters performed their parts ex-
ceedingly well. The movements of
Snipkins, the town swell, in the hay
field as well as trying to get on familiar
terms with Katy the dairy maid, creat-
ed considerable amusement. The action
of the mowers and spreaders was very
natural indeed. The firemen's song,
with fire represented, and engine play -
trig on -the flames, and thechild rescued
from the burning building, was very
imitative as well as entertaining.
Each of the scenes was presented with
music, Mies Lizzie Jackson being the
pianist. On the whole we may say
that the entertainment was one of the
best ever given in Clinton heing both - assorttlreti;t. ,
