A Cool, THEFT.—The other day some one entered the bedroom of Mrs. Smarts, at the Prince of Wales hotel, and stole therefrom her new spring bonnet. As members of the house were In the vicinity of the room all the time, the theft was a pretty cool one. THE MAYORALTY.—Dr. Williams hav- ing resigned his office as mayor, notices have been issued calling a new election; nomination takes place on the 6th inst., and the election, if necessary, on the 13th. We do not anticipate that there will be any opposition to Mr. Whitehead, who has consented to act, if elected to that position. LAMP EXPLOSION.—One of the daugh- ter& of Mrs. Green, widow, met with a painful accident on Tuesday night by the explosion of a lamp. Her clothes took fire and her lege were severely burned be- fore the flames could be subdued by a neighbor, into whose house she ran for relief. u' A LARGE FAMILY.—Mr. Tedford, our Chief of Police, is one of a family of four- teen, all of whom but two are married and have large families. What is re- markable is this, there has not been a death among all these people for more than forty years. His father and mother have attained the great age of 80 and 82 years, and to all appearances are good for many years yet. This is what very few can boast of. ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday R. Holmes met with an unpleasant accident though fortunately it was not attended with any serious results. He had been out driving and on his return, after leaving his wife at the house, started for the livery stable; the horse had not gone fifty yards before the king bolt broke, allowing the front of the buggy to_drop in the road, and throw- ing Mr. Holmes out in the mud. A ruined overcoat, a few bruises and a broken buggy, fortunately cover all" the injury sustained. ' MIGHT HAVE GO'r HIIRT.—The other day Mr. Howson drove up to the house of a farmer in Hullett, tying his horse at the gate, and there -leaving it for a time. During his absence a young son of Mr. Elijah Townsend came along, climbed into the rig, and commenced in bis child- ish way to use a whip on the horse. The animal jumped and pranced, doing its best to break away, in which case the boy might have been hurt, but the strap held it until some one, noticing what the child _was_ doing, went and .lifted_i- out sof . the SEPARATE SCHOOL INSPECTOR -- We bad a call on Wednesday from Cornelius Donovan,.. Esq.,-of-Hami-lt-on,–Separate School Inspector for the Province. He had just completed inspection of the Se- parate School, Hullett, which- he reports now .in a splendid condition and doing good work uuder the management of Miss Crunican, Over 21 years ago Mr Dono- van was foreman of the Hamilton Times, and the proprietor of the New ERA a carrier boy on the same paper, since which time they bad not met until Wednesday, though well acquainted. THE FALL SHOW. --At the next meet- ing of the directors of the Hullett Agri- cultural Society, an effort will be made to arrange for holding the Fall Show three days instead of two. They are bound to push the show, and if the affair is only properly handled, thore is no reason what- ever why Clinton should not have the best show in the county. We have the requi- site facilities, and a little extra work be- fore it gets too late, will assure the rest.— One of the specialties for the coming fall show will be sidesaddle riding, and for this three prizes are offered, the 1st by G. A. Sharman, a sidesaddle valued at $20 ; the second a set of dishes by Cooper &Son $10, and the 3rd, $;i in cash by the Society RETURNED.—A coupleof weeks since the NEW ERA announced the departure for the old country, of Mr. T.R. 1Mitchefl, postmaster at Westfield, per steamer .Brjttanic. This happened to be the vessel which collided with the Celtic, several hundred miles at sea, and when the vessel was ,brought back to New York Mr. Mitchell concluded that he would remain on this aide of the Atlantic, and he re- turned home accordingly. Before he left Clinton on his way to New York be had taken out a $13000 accident insurance polis said on his return that that poli him a good deal of comfort ar (lAtisfaction at the time the accident £itppened. A NEW Mum Boox. — Messrs. W. Doherty & Co. have just ' issued a new book of instructions for beginners who desire to study instrumental Music. It contains a large selection of all classes of music suitable for the organ, with full and explicit instructions for practice. In addition thereto are several pages of useful and practical information giving the best methods of keeping an organ in good con- dilion, and explaining bow to ,repair it should it get out of order. The book generally is not surpassed by any music book hitherto published, while in its special information, it is considered the superior of others. Local dealers have it for sale. The cover is embellished with a very fair picture of Mr W Doherty, ITopg. Mr. W. Wier, of.t�ie Bayfield road, has just purchased a theraug,b•bred bull in' the vicinity of London, and 110,A, Tyndall, of the base line, has also purl chased a thorough -bred from Mr. John Washington, West Wawanosh. , Tim FALL Wavex -While fall wheat will not be a first-class crop, it will be much better than was anticipated in the, spring. Mr J Middleton, of Goderich Township, hail 60 acres which he believes will be as good a crop as he, ever gather- ed, Messrs James Fair, James Brown, apd Andres's Bros. have fields close to town which are looking splendid, and be- tween Clinton and Goderich, as seen from the highway, the fields look first-rate, a patchy piece being only occasionally no- ticed. It is said to be worse in Hullett and Colborne than other places. On the lst inst. Mr S Phipps, of Gederich town- ship, left us a few etalks of Seneca which are well headed out, and we have since been informed of several others who have grain headed. This isexceptionally early and will make the harvest much earlie than usual. REMARKABLE CASE OF CANINE SAGA- cItY.—A pei'son residing not far from this town possesses a fine Newfoundland dog. This animal has frequently given proofs of more than ordinary sagacity, but last 24th of May he eclipsed himself. In the fami- ly of the person referred to are two boys, who, of course, laid in a store of firecrack- ers for that day, and invited the three sons of a friend, who lives about a mile and a half distant. to come and join their fire- crackers together, and haves general good time. Now the Newfoundland has an inate horror of firecrackers. On the morn• ing of the day in question he suffe:ed agonies for about an hour. when the other three boys made their appearance. He watched them intently, and saw to bis dismay his agonies increased in the pro- portion of 6 to 2. He did not take long to make up his mind. No boys, no fire- crackers, he reasoned, and set off at a good pace for the house of the friend from whence the boys came. He could hardly besiriven away ; he stayed there, nolens' volens, all day; and was only ready and willing tos return back when, late in the evening, the children returned to their home. The balance of advantages being in favor of instant return, he complied, without further trouble. BRIEFS.—A one-horse two -wheeled wat- ering cart has replaced theo-id cumbersome box waggon, and gives better satisfaction; the street watering was never better per- formed than it is this year. $2,000 was the sum offered by Mr McMurray for Mr Twitchell's house,and not $2,100. Mr W Morrow, a former Clintonian, and son of Mr Chas Morrow, now of Spiritwood, Da`k., is here on a visit; he has every ap- pearance of being as large a man as his father is. On Saturday the sister-in-law of Mr J Eades drove here from Wingham, and her horse was turned out in the or- chard for the night,but it managed to get out and was found two days after. Mr I Taylor went on a business trip to Toronto this week.. It is reported that the C P R telegraph line will be through Clinton some time this year.

Dr. Williams was gazetted Police Magistrate, on Saturday, and was sworn in before the County Crowe Attorney, on Tuesday. Messrs Stanbury,of the London road, who are extensive cattle dealers, and are shipping nearly all the time, have now over one hundred head pasturing on their farms. Mr Gaakin,who has forsome time been -performing the duties of Cus- oms collector here, left this week, on account of Mr Armstrong resuming charge here. Mrs E Stanley, eldest daughter of Mrs Duncan, who has been spending some time here, returned to her home at Pick- ford, Michigan, on Friday. W.e under - statist thaUMfss iM TreivurtTia has decided to dispose of her effects and leave town for a while, owing to continued ill health. Mr Donald Junor purposes erecting a brick house on his property on Isaac St. Last year Mr P Straith sent a couple of h:is:-patent-mower.k-nifesshfrpenersto Brie tisk Columbia, more as an experiment than anything else; a few day's since he received an order for more of .the same, One night last week a lady in town set out in the garden a very handsome plant that had been developed in the house; next morning the plant was missing, and it was traced to the possession of a servant girl residing a short distance away. Mr R Haywood is now busy doing the brick- work for 1tLr. Hugh Radford's new house in Hullett; "Dick" has also contracts with Fitz. Sprung, Hullett ; J. Fisher, Colborne, and Mr. Bruce, East Wawan- osh. Mr. Jas. Twitchell has sold ten car loads of shingles this spring; ^a larger number than he ever sold before hi the same time. We have reason to believe that a Pork Factory will be establish here this year, by a person who has h d experience in this business, and kno s how to successfully conduct it ; there is .no better opening in Western Ontario than is Clinton, for this very business,— Mrs W Shipley and Mrs Mills returned from the Southern States on Wednesday night.
