The Wingham Advance has taken the
'hint we gave it about Clinton market*,
and now publishes them somewhat more
reliably;
`SOME•HONEY.-=A few days since 'Mr
-Isaac Dodd extracted from a bee hive be-
longing -to Mr D. C. Carr, at one extract,
no'less `than forty-one pounds of honey.'
BIHOOMPA TION KILLED. --A few days
since Mr Will Webb, tinsmith, late of
this town, and a companion, were at work
on the roof of a six story building, in New
York, when'the companion_ fell and was
Instantly killed.
STILL` THEY GO.- Mr. W. Core and
sister sail on Saturday next for Liver-
pool via White Star Steamship Arabic,
and Miss McGarva on the same date, for
Glasgow. per steamship Carnessia, of the
Anchor Line.
HAYING. -Just a few farmers have
commenced haying in Huron county. As
het the sound of the mower has not been
eard much. The bay,crop will not be
heavy, but farmers say that a fair crop
will be harvested.
CATTLE -Mr Morgan, of Oshawa, ship-
ped two car loads of good cattle from here
on Tuesday; among them were a number
bought from Messrs. Fair, Plumsteel,
Cornish, and other swell -known farmers;
they easily average, 1450 lbs each.
THE Seaforth Sun has never been able
vet to explain its previous statement that
Seaforth had two or three hundred more
of a population than Clinton. In order
to refresh its memory we give the figures
again -Clinton, 2800, Seaf'ortb, 2530.
COMPLIMENTARY. -The Mitchell Re-
corder says: -Tho Mitchell baseballers
were entertained at the Grand Union
while in Clinton on Tuesday. They
speak very flatteringly of the manner in
which the hotel is run and the courtesy
and attention shown them by the pro-
prietor, Mr. Carson.
PROPERTY CHANGES. -Mr TIJoa Hol-
loway has-bougbt of Mr Ferris the small
house and two lots on Ontario St. east
(near the manse) paying therefor the sum
of $500. Mr Jas Smith has bought of Mr
C. Mason, two quarter -acre lots on.. the
eastern limit of High street; we did not
learn the price.
TELEGRAPu-LINE—The-eon
struction gang that is erecting the poles
and wires for this line has struck town
and are busy getting the line in shape.
We understand that the office will be lo-
cated in Jackson Bros. store, and will be
open for the transaction of business in
about three week's time.
ON THE BRINY DEEP. -As announced
last week, Messrs. Fair, Dickson, and
Manning left on Saturday for the ohl
country, and are now on the briny deep.
No doubt these lines will apply to each of
them: -
The man who's on the ocean
And seasick in his berth,
Amid the storm's commotion,,,
Is the man who wants the earth:
^Acmu:s N.T.-On Tuesday, -Mr W Kiteb
en, of Stanley,. brought a bull here which
he had sold to Mr Morgan. As it weigh-
ed 2350 it was brought in a waggon.
While unloading it the horses started be-
fore everything was in readiness, and the
bull, with Mr Kitchen, who was in the
waggon by it, were both thrown out, the
bull striking Mr Kitchen on the leg,
severely sprainingeit; he was fortunate
that he was not more severely .hurt.
CONVICTIONS. -The list of cases by
magistrates in the county, for the quarter
ending Juno 14th number 110. 01
these no less than 55 were for violation of
the Scat Act -anstitb,2..of .these_tt_con-
yiction was secured -a very large pre-
-centage-the fines amounting to $2606;
of course some of these fines .bave been
paid, but as several of the cases are under
appeal, the rest have not. There were
only four cbarges.of "drunk and dia-
orderly.” Taking the Scott Act cases
out of the list the balance certainly shows
a diminution in crime in this county.
PARLIAMRNTARIANS.-Mr Robt. Port-
er, M. P., West Huron, made a visit here
on Saturday last,' and was cordially re-
ceived by his supporters. In the of er-
noon a meeting of thelocal Railway Com•
mittee was held, when Mr. Porter briefly
outlined what bad transpired at Ottawa
in connection with the proposed lines of
railway through this county, assuring the
committee that the probabilities of Clin-
ton receiying additional railway accom-
niodellert . were pt the most encouraging
nature -On Monday Mr John McMillan,
M. P., South Huron, was in town, being
on his way to Guelph to attend a meeting
of the Advisory Board of the Ontario
Agricultural College, of which he is a
member.
KILLING THE GOOSE, &C. -During re-
cent years a great many Sunday school
scholars and teachers here have enjoyed
an annnal outing at Goderich by having
their picnic there, the railway usually
accommodating the public with a fare of
25 and 10 cents, for adults and children
respectively, at which figure the' rail-
way made money with little inconven-
ience or extra train service. This year
several of the town Sabbath schools made
their arrangements for the pie -nig, as us
nal e-spectlug they would have the same
railway rate as heretofore, but the Gener•
al Passenger Agent writes that the lowest
figures that will be allowed -are 80 and 15
cents. As Many think the latter too
high for little children, it is not likely
that it willbe accepted by the Sabbath
schools. The agent, Mr. Pattison, is try-
ing his best to get a better rate, and un-
less he secures it the railway will cer-
tainly lose what bas hitherto been a prof-
itable part of its buslneap, and the public
will be derived of what has been a
pleasure, enjoyed at Moderate el:pence.

OpprELLQwe.--Tho semi-annual els-
tion;of ofhcera for Clinton Lodge No. 83,
I. 0. O. F., took place Tuesday evening,
as followa:-G. 1'. G}, I. Taylor; N. G.,
W. McRowen; V. G., R. Fox; R. S., Geo
A. Sharman; P. (3., Robt. Logan; Treas..
J. H. Worsen. The delegate to the
Grand Lodge meeting, to . be held at
Peterboro, on Wedneddsy, Aug. 10tb, is
Mr, Thomas Lavin,
A NEW. HQItsE.-Our esteemed friend
of the 13eafartb Expotiitor is advertising
his present residence for sale, which
means that he is Poing to move into th
handsome, palatial house that he has
erected on the Huron road. Friend Mc-
Lean is about.the only newspaper man in
the county that can afford a fine reef•
deuce; the rest of the poor duffers have to
be satisfied to live on the principle ,of
"love in a cottage," and McLean should
give us the chance of seeing inside a good
housbonce it a while. Now Mac. send
out your invitations for a house warming,
never mind if it is the month of July.
A CLOSE CALL.—The wife of Mr John
Miller, who resides on Mary street, bad a
remarkably narrow escape from what
would probably have been a fatal acci-
dent. On Saturday last while engaged
in her household duties she was startled
by the whiz of a bullet as it grazed the
back of her neck, and striking the wall
bounded back on the table. Her huse•
band being home picked up the bullet
and found out that a neighbor, wishing to
frigt ten some birds that were picking
cherries, had thoughtlessly used a gun
loaded with ball cartridge; it happened
that when the ball passed Mrs Miller
she had just bent forward to pick up a
eup, otherwise we might have had to
chronicle the demise of a most estimable
lady, and a respected citizen of our town
might have been held for manslaughter.
Such carelessness is culpable.
LOCAL BRrars.-Messrs W Spooner
and T Palterman took tickets this week
for Winnipeg, via C P R all rail route. A
wag states that a young man from Albert
street is seen perambulating James street
in the evening; we speer that John -son
knows something about this. Mr W
Cooper, builder, hasjust completed a very
handsome brick house for Mr Jas Keys,in
Stanley, (about three miles below Varna;)
Mr Keys is unmarried, but they say he
has a peck of girls in view -we can certify
that it is a pretty good peck too. Mayor
Whitehead has returned from his visit to
Ottawa,Montreal,and other eastern points.
Miss Mary Jackson is visiting friends in
Wingham. Mr John Irwin (son of R
Irwin, Esq,) who holds an important
position on a southern line of railway, is
home on a visit; he looks as if the south
agreed with. A ^ certain young mat,, of
toter] takes an occasional 'constitutional'
walk out the base line;. perhaps he's cullen
the crowd. In Stevenson's furniture store
may be seen a life-size photograph of the
late Robert Callander it is an excellent
picture,and- was got up by that unequalled
phntoist, Mr H Foster. Bidd!eeombe's
jewellery store is adorned with a psir
of handsome window blinds. Regular
meeting of council will be held next Mon-
day evening Mr S Wilson, merchant,
was laid up for a few days with a slight
attack of inflammation of the bowels, but
is out again. Mr J R Jliller, license in•
specter, East Huron,was in town on Wed-
nesdas,and laid. information against
three hotels in his inspegtorate, for viola-
tion of the Scott Act, The steamer Baltic
upon which MrT White crosses to Liver-
pool, arrived on Monday. To -day being
the 1st of July it will be observed as a
general holiday. ;Alex ,Milan has gone
to Montreal this week in charge of a car
of stock for T -McLean. S Andrews ship-
ped one car of stock for export this week.
The Clinton foundry is making business
boom at present, shipping threshers and
repairs almost daily. Mr Wre Stanley, 01
Holmesville, is receiving large shipments
of agricultural implements which he is
distributing through ,the country in his
usual successful manner. Mr D A For-
rester shipped two cars of tow to Paterson.
N J, this week. Messrs Jos Watsen .and
wife, of Chillicothe; MO.,' and R WAt'son
and wife, of Walkerville,are visiting the
parental roof; "Jo" looks as if western
life agreed well with him,and we are clad
to learn is doing well. Mr T Tipling's
trotter Was in the races at Listowel last
week. Mr Will Robinson, of the Huron
road, sold a three year old gelding the
other day to Mr E Butt, for $195, and
bought a mare from some one near Kin -
burn for $200. Clinton base ball club go
to Mitchell to day (Friday) to play a game
there. Messrs ON Smith and H Stanbury
go to Toronto, next Wednesday, to play
base ball with the employees of Cox & Co.
against the insurance men. A horse tied
in front of Jackson Bros. store, fell down
on Wednesday, breaking the shaft of the
buggy ; the big bargains inside must have
startled it. " Where are you going to
spend your holidays?" asked one pedes-
trian of another the other clay ; 0 suppose
it tvill be summer round," was the reply ;
the man who got off that pun was beading
for Goderich when last seen. Brussels
grain market leads the van and has done
so for some time.esBrussels Post --stein
ton excepted, of course. Exeter is going
to put a town clock op its new town hall ;
if a village like ]?•ceter can afford a clock,
surely Clinton cal. Mr John Riduut,who
has been on the > iek list for some time,
has recovered sufficient to be out again.
Mr James Biggins, alsofor some time
confined to the house, we are pleased to
see is able to be out. Mr S Phipps, of
Goderich townahip,delivered 'he first load
of new hay here this week. Farmers will
commence cutting fall wheat in two weeks;
it is somewhat affected by rust, but not
net to its injury. ALA recent meeting .of
the 33rd Battalion officers, field here, it
was decided that the companies would not
perform annual drill this year, A son of
Mr W Sloman, who recently left town
without letting his parents know of his
intention, and thus causing them consider-
able anxiety, returned on Wednesday.
Mr E A Tyndall, Professor of elocution,
(son of Mrs Tyndall, base line,) who has
been in a Philadelphia college for some,
ime, is spending his holidays herr ;he has
been offered a $2000 situation on the other
side,but prefers to remain in Canada, and
will likely locate in Toronto. Mr Frank
J e' r oyi has taken a situation at Barrie.
Mr J Wiseman and bis sister-in-law, Mrs
Fierriott, leave on a holiday trip to
Chicago this week.
