THE P.M's FIRST CASES.—On Tuesday
Police Magistrate Williams had his first
oases. Inspector - ' .e; -semi—te` ::.qar-
mation against Messrs. Flannigan and
Martin, of Dungannon, for violation of
the Scott Act, and these persona came to
Clinton on that day and pleaded guilty,
when the statutory fine of $50 and costs
was imposed. One paid it forthwith, and
the other was allowed ten days in which
to pay. J Bell, Londesboro, yesterday
appeared before the P M, plead guilty,
and was fined $50 and costs.
CHANGE THEM.—The Wingham Ad-
vance should either quit publishing the
Clinton markets or else change the figures
once in awhile. Last week it quoted fall
wheat here at 75 to 80 cents, while buyers
were paying 86 cents, and wool it quoted
at 20 to 22. while the 'proper quotations
were 24 and 25 cents. Perhaps the Ad-
vance thought that if it made Clinton
prices about the same as Wingham it
would be all right, but it should rernem
ber Clinton is the leading market of the
Bounty, and a difference of 6 cents a
bushel on wheat and 8 cents a pound on
wool is perhaps more than the Wingham
people could stand.
STILL OBSTRUCTED. — Mr. Ransford
has met with considerable difficulty in
getting the " cave in" at Stapleton drilled
through. When it first happened several
weeks ago, be went to Petrolia and en-
gaged the services of a driller. at the
man's own price,who was to come on and
proceed with the work at once. After
waiting some time for the man to com-
mence, be learned that the fellow had no
intention of proceeding with the work. It
was, therefore, necessary to go again to
Petrosa, engage a fresh man, and draw
up aa agreement for the performance of
the work, which, they expect, will soon
be proceeded with.
L. 0. L.—The semi-annual meeting of
the South Huron County Orange Lodge
was -held here on Tuesday, E Floody, C
-.-•----M,--g ,.residing. m .Iarge-numbersof•de1e--
gates were present, every point in the
county being represented. A resolution
of condolence was drafted and was ordered
to be engrossed and forwarded to the
widow of the -late Bro. John Dagg, in
whose memory the hall was very tastefully
draped. Arrangements were made for the
celebration of the coming 12th of July, at
Goderich.. It is expected that London, E
Middlesex, Oxford, Perth and Bruce will
take part in the demonstration. Mr A M
Todd was elected D C M for the balance
of the year. A grant of$10 was made for
the benefit of Bro. Win Lobb, of Holmes-
ville. After the transaction of some
special business the county lodge ad-
journed:
• THE STANDING OF TI -IE TOWN.—The
Financial position of town as expounded
by Deputy -Reeve Manning, on Monday
evening, is a matter' for congratulation.
Our total debenture debt is $30,500, but
when from this is deducted the fair value
of our assets—school buildings, market
property, fire apparatus, &c.,—the debt
disappears. The town does not 'require to
borrow for running expenses but a small
amount and with a few more years of
economy like the past three or four years
there will be no necessity for borrowing at
all. Last year on the 1st June $1000 had
already been borrowed, but at the same
date this year there is 41990 in the- treasury.
_ _ In_ speaking of the debenture debt i.t•was
pointed out that we would be in an ex-
cellent position to compete for another
railway system when the time canee,as our
debentures would sell readily at a low
rate of interest. The financial position of
the town compares most favorably with
any other town of similar size in Ontario,
and those who have been instumental iu
thus managing our affairs, are certaiuly
to be congratulated on their prudence and
good management.

for Ottawa, on private business, on Tues-

There is talk of a recent horse trade in
town leading to a law suit. It is rumored
that a wedding will take place the middle
of this month, in which a Clinton lady
will become the wife of a gentleman in
Wiarton. A party of two ladies and two
gentlemen went over to Bayfield, on Sat-
urday to enjoy a boat ride, by some means
one of the party is said to have got a
soaking ; he was a pretty sweetnean when
he returned home. Dr Worthington left
OR Monday to attend .the annual meeting

fell out of a swing the other day; although

Mrs Morley returned trom Sault Ste
Marie on Monday, accompanied by Miss
Stanley, of Pickford, Mich., (a niece 01
Mrs. Duncan.) At Exeter they are
building a town hall, and in order to get
some ideas for its internal arrangement,
Reeve Rollins, of that town, and a couple
of others, made a tour of inspection of
Clinton town hall, on. Tuesday, and were
evidently well pleased with all its arrange-
ments. Mr A A Bennett has gone into
the manufacture of mattresses, and is
working up a business in that line. Sev-
eral weeks ago the NEW ERA published an
original paragraph giving some facts and
figures concerning the egg business of D.
D Wilson, eaforth ; since then the para-
graph has appeared in a number of our
exchanges, and always as an original local
item ; about the only way some editors
get any local news is to write it with a
pair of shears. Mr Horace Foster has
rented the room over Worthington's drug
store, and connected the same with his
gallery; this now gives him the finest ope-
rating ; rooms yang photo studio in the•
-county: The wile of Dr. Taylor, oI Ooiie-
rich, is here on a visit to her mother, Mrs
Kerr. Mr P Straith has bought the Fos-
ter property in the neighborhood of the
old woollen mills. 11•rr S Booth, we un-
derstand, has decided on remaining in

the decision. Mr Joseph Allanson has
already gathered some fine strawberries.
Miss A Holmes leaves to -day on a visit
to friends in Toronto. A certain unmar-
ried man is negotiating for the purchase
of a house; we do not know what he will
use it for unless it is to store caie in.—
Last week reference was .made to a cow
- in town giving-451bs of milk. daily ; this
has brought; out the 'fact that several
in town have cows giving over 501bs
daily, and one gentleman owns a cow that
goes as high as 651bs. It may not be
generally known, but it is nevertheless a
fact, that in one part of the town—the
eastern corner of St. Andrew's ward,near-
ly all the wells are from 75 to 100 feet
deep. • It isreported that Mr Lu Stevens,
.(son of Mr H Stevens), is now at Bramp-

ence to reside at Woodford, near Owen
Sound. Mr Thos Begley, of West Wawa-
nosh, bought a new thresher, from Messrs
Ferran, Macpherson & Hovey this week,
and Mr Walter Murphy, of Hullett,
hauled home a beauty from the same es-
tablishment, on Wednesday ; it was one
got up expressly for Toronto exhibition
last year, and was, what the boys would
call "a perfect dandy." Mr J C Stev-
enson returned home from the Interna-
tional Sabbath School Convention at Chi-
cago on Wednesday. Mr T C Pickard,of
Holmesville, supplied the pulpit of Rat-
tenbury St. Church, on Sunday evening,

Council has consented to the purchase of
a_rstt3dsval' i:ess_thau, the_ t gulation„ jyidtl

bridge case at Ltolmesville. The New
IRA extends its congratulations to its
former employee and associate, now the
Rev All Drumm,in his having entered the
married state, and trusts that his cup of -1
bliss will be full to overflowing. Mr
Charles Helmer, formerly of town, but
who has been away for some time, is here
on a visit ; though not attending High
School, it is rumored that he spends his
time in that locality, and hopes to carrie
away with him something more than good
wishes. Itis reported that a grain dealer
in the southern part of the county has
just failed, with very heavy liabilities;
we have not been able to verify the report,
and hope it may turn out incorrect. Mrs
Oliver and her deughter,Mrs T Moon,who
have been visiting friends in the town of
Perth, have returned to town; Mrs Oliver
has lately been in poor health, but is
much better now. Yesterday Mr Humph-
rey Snell, of Hullett, showed us green
peas in the pod, will filled out; this is
unusually early and shows that although
Mr Snell makes no professidn of being a
gardener, he is able to get as early vege-
tables as any of them, Mr 5 Cook also
left us a few peas and some fine goose-
berries; for the 9th of June they show
good growth, and " Sam" says he has any
qu tntity, Mr Wm Weir lost a valuable
horse this week. A letter from Mr W
Small, Winnipeg, on the disallowanee
fraternity in Clinton, but ho will only be question, will appear next week. '
