SPRING SHOW.—The Spring show in connection with the towuship of Hullett Agricultural Society, will be held on the, snow grounds, Clinton, on Tuesday, April 19th. TRE wife of Mr W L Newton, although in very poor health, at Goderich, is not, we are pleased to learn, as low as report- ed. She has very little use of her lower limbs. A CHILD of Mr Henry Porter has been very low with inflammation of the lungs, but is now better... One of Mr S Andreivs' children has also been sick with the same, and is also better. A YOUNG lady sat in adentist's chair iu Clinton, on Wednesday, until he had ex- _ tracted, one after the other, sixteen teeth•,. and she took no anaesthetic of any kind. She had "pluck and nerve. THE friends of Mr jt Fischer will be exceedingly sorry to learn that his wife lies at the point of death, with conB'ump- tion. Although' ailing for sometime her decline has been rapid lately. MIL W QUIGLEY, who was last year in the._ emplsy of Mr. Jacob.MIller, black- smith, has started business for himself, at Kingsbridge; be is a good mechanic, a steady, industrious young man, and should do well. IT WAS reported last week that Mr J Swarts, of Bayfield, (second son of Mr G Swarte) had been killed by the kick of a horse, but as he was in town this week, just as lively as ever, we presume that the report was incorrect. WE understand that Mr Robt Downs ha' purchased the house and lot on High ,street, at..prese'nt occupied by Mr Watson., It will be occupied by Mr Downs himself, and the present tenant has, therefore, to hustle around for another place. WE are glad to learn that Mr W J Potts, vilto,has been laid up sick at Brantford, is gettin' round, and soon hopes to resume his run ohe road. His skin peeled off, good poisoning, and Will ew,skin, anyhow.

With two da)llee the people of the ytluugest city should be happy. The Herald looks well, andif kept up to the initial number, should:.do well. CHEAP SHORTHAND BOOKS.—Send 40 theCent "Teacher" and lii duddMan Hal Goderich, of Iaac Pitman's phonography. Price elsewhere 70 cents. The most popular system of shorthand in the world. THE BUILDING. TRADE.—We have al- ready announced the letting of quite a number of contracts for new buildings this season, and we learn from eontaactors and builders, that the prospects for the year's trade are very goad. The contracts announced so far have all been for hon es, but quite a number of barns Etna other buildings will be erected also. THE CATTLE BUSINESS.—Cattle buyers report that the outlook for the ,„coming season is very discouraging at the present time. Prices in the English markets are ruling even lower than last fall, and should this state of things contione, as everything appears to indicate is to be the case, there will be no encouragement for dealers entering into. the purchase of Th stock for shipment with an almost certain propect of losing money in the venture. AN a• ng blunder occurred in our report . McGillicuddy's speech at the W uron Liberal Couvention,pub- lished last week. He was mane to say that "men on both sides .were- travelling through the townships and alongthe back street 5fthe•to vn with plenty of iltrie ; who have-beeir-ordinarily -in th©"habit of dodging the payment of their debts."— The word both was a mistake for other, which appeared in our copy, and thus Mr McGillicuddy was unintentionally made to say an entirely different thing to. what ire did say. CONVICTIONS.—The convictions of mag- istrates of the county for the quarter end- ing the 8th inst., show only a total of 40 cases. Of these 13 occurred in Goderich— bad place, that—only 2 at Seaforth, 7 at Clinton, 1 at Wingham, and the rest. by sundry magistrates elsewhere. Five of the convictions were for violation of the Scott Act. The total amount of -fines im- posed, aside from those in the Scott Act eascs, was $51. A couple of years ago the number of cases in a single quarter would run .up to about 160. HARD TIMES STILL.—A busjnes,,s man told' us the other day that he madea per - Serial collecting tour, carrying with him accounts that amounted to over $500. After spending considerable time with each debtor in trying to " raise the wind," he returned to his business without having collected one cent. His ekperienoe is by no means exceptional, as other business men can testify. About the worst phase of business is the credit system, and if merchants throughout the country would only, unite their strength, they could,very materially lessen the evil. 7 J' OF LING E, the . result of starts out with MONEY AN THE C$i propounds this query ' If it is wrong to receive ligious purposes from the ungo was the ultimate result of the money was laid at the feet of St. Peter by nanias and Saphirra7' RoN. A.M. Ross, Provincial Treasurer,' passed through town yesterday, on his way to. Wingham, where his daughter, Mrs., Ii. C. W. Meyers, died of paralysis, on Tuesday evening, after a short illness. She was his eldest daughter and leaves three children. Mr. Meyer was about to leave on a trip to the old country this week. A special ttain leaves Wingham this morning (Friday), at 8 a. m., to con- vey the remains to Goderich for inter- ment; a passenger car will be attacbed,so that those who wish to attend the funeral may do so without expense. The train will leave Clinton about'9 a. in.,, and re• turn from Goderich at 6 p. m. A HUdtONITE IN •11'IICaIGAN.—Wilting from Marquette, Mich., under date of the 19th inst., Mr. Chas. Cowell, formerly of Hullett, says :—" I must tell you what a -pleasant- winter-we•I-have,-bad•- up -here. We had a little rain at the time you had such heavy floods and storms. We. had two storms, one on February 22nd, that vas the severest one known up here, and one on March 13th, but that was not So bad. The weather now is as beautiful as- can be desired for this time of the -year. Our;mail stage, which is driven by dogs, has only been stopped once by bad weather. We are now earnestly looking for spring." FARMERS' CLUB.—The Granton Farm- ers' club met on Monday night Tor a special meeting. The President being absent, Mr. Geo. Staubury occupied the chair. A vote of thanks was tendered to the Dominion Farmers Council for- the lactoscope which they presented to the club. A lengthy discussion took place on the relative merits of special farming against a regular rotation of crops. Mr. John Avery and Mr. Jas Young were the leading disputants ; some of the intended speakers on Mr. Avery's side were absept.. The chairman gave his decision in favor of a regular rotation of crops. At the next meeting of .the club there will be a paper read on the best method of raising L Ives and a discussion on the same PROPERTY SOLD.—The , building at, present occupied by the News -Record office. was sold by. Mr. Jas. Miller, on Tuesday, to Mr. Jos. Whitehead, for $1000 cash. It is Mr. Whitehead's'inten- tion to move the building, if possible, and erect brick premises from the corner. IT IS reported that Mr. W Foster, tra- veller, will take up'his residence in Sault Ste Marie,which place is said to be boom- ing just now. We would be sorry to lose him, as he is agood citizen. His brother- in-law, Mr. Geo...Miller,_.goes_up there at once, Mrs. Miller remaining bere for the present. WE ARE sorry to announce the death of Mrs. Copp, wife of Mr. Joseph Copp, which occurred on Tuesday morning, after a comparatively short illness of inflamrnae tion of the lungs. She was the eldest daughter of Mr R Foster, nod was esteem- ed by all who knew her. She leaves a child about a year old. Mr Copp has the sympathy of all. INFORMATION was laid by Inspector Paisley against Messrs 5 Pike and P Rey- nolds, for infraction of the Scott Act, and on Wednesday they plead guilty and were fined the statutory fine of $50. At Credi• ton, on Wednesday; Walter Clark and Wm Mitchell, hotelkeepera, here up be- fore Police Magistrate Wanless and Mr Govenlock, J P, and plead guilty to it via- • lation of the Act, paying their fine of $50 and cbsts. Mr Scott., Clinton, appeared for the prosecution. Mr Oke, of Exeter, subreet, HON. i1O.RTON 1). CLIFFORD.—The fol- lowing is irotii."KairesIllustrated West,'• a paper issued at•Fortland, Oregon, -and the gentleman so flatteringly referred to is a cousin of Mrs Whit ; of this place:— Hon Morton D Clifford is, perhaps, the most popular young man in Eastern Ore- gon. Born in ',Vapello county, Iowa May `24th, 1859, he moved to Oregon in '1870, and settled in t':tnyon city. Afterreceiv- ing an academic education, he studied law with the firm of Hill & Mays, of The Dalles, and was admitted to practice by the Supreme Courtof Oregon, in October, 1882. Mr Clifford entered political life in April, 18S4, when, having received rte nomination for the district attorneyship of the Sixth Judicial District of this State from the hands of the Democratic State convention, he defeated the regular Re- publican nominee, Hon C W Parrish, one of the most premiuent attorneys in East- ern Oregon. Renominated in 1886 for the same office, he was again elected by a large majority. Mr Clifford is a man of modest demeanor, but possessed of it steadfastness of purpose that surmounts 'every obstacle« -Nis name has been a teri ror to evil -doers, as attested by the large number now incarcerated in the pr'niten' tiary,as a result of bis vigilant prosecution, He has yet it long life of usefulness ahean of him, and, taking his past record as a precedent, he is destined to become an important factor in shaping the future sti AT _50 CENTS ON THE - ,• (.
