It appears ;,mysteriously in a snag's pocket and disappears just as mysteriously- tltro :one knows whence it .cometh Ariel whither it goeth. Sense .men think the can-iiwBriably dietinguisli it from a twenty-five center. They can detect a difference in the color. Uthers say they can spot it by the feel, as it is smoother. The absenceof. crown upon the Queen's head is the ,means by which some can tell it from a quarter. A few say it can be •recgg- nized by the difference in weight. Everyone; has a pet theory regarding the best wavy to deteet the coin, but nearly everyone occasionally finds s twenty -cent piece in his pocket whire 'he 'expected .ane had a quarter. As far as the general public are aware there is no particular use for the coinn. It does not appear to be a necessity, but on the other land, is certainly a great nuisance. 'We could very well spare the twenty -cent piece, an.rit is to be hoped the hour of deliverance is not far orf: COLLEGE ;Fermium -en -0n Thurs- day evening last a meeting was held in the Rattenbury street Methodist church in the interest of the Metho- dist College Confederation scheme. There was a good attendance, the chair being occupied by the Rev ?4r Howell, of Seaforth. Addresses were delivered by Revs. Hr. Potts, of To- ronto, Dr. Griffin, of Guelph, and Mr Mills, principal of the agricultural college, Eruelph, who was the first speaker, and he thoroughly and satis- factorily explained the whole theory of the" operations of the College Scheme ; the advantage to the Metho- dist church, why they wanted it, the location in Queen's Park, the east of the buildings' the endowment fund, etc. - Dr. Potts was the next speaker; he is an enthusiastic supporter of the federation scheme, which he said was the greatest ever laid before the Methodist church. He gave an in- teresting .account of its inception down to its adoption by the Guelph General Conference last year. ,,• He reviewed the progress its friends had made since it had been decided to re- move the college from Cobourg to To- ronto, pointing out that a beautiful site had been selected for the college, in Queen's Park,Toronto, a p,er etual lease had been obtained,and a federa- tion bill introduced and passed at the last session of the Ontario legislature. He thought the duty of the church was to act unitedly, liberally and promptly in the matter of this higher Christian education of the young,and believed that fedepttion would be a triumphant succesie Dr. Griffin fol- lowed, stating that an assessment of $750 had been laid upon the congre- gation of Rattenbury St. church and $400 upon Ontario St. He then started a subscription list and humor- ously kept it going until over $650 of the amount required had been sub- scribed ; since the meeting over $100 has been subscribed, so that more than the full amount levied has been provided for. Over $150 towards the Ontario St. assessment was subscribed the same evening, and the probabili- t) ties are that the full amount will be raised witbo'.nt nny difficulty. peals against the Voters'` dist for the present year, have been lodged with the town clerk, .but most of them are of an unimportant nature, THE Wucr .aNP AI'PLEs.—Tile .re- cent high winds played puck with the apples. Every orchard in this section suffered. The ground beneath the tree was literally covered with the fallen fruit. TeimenIT MM.—Heroes, dat.tle, apples, organs, general merchandise, etc., being shipped this week, have made things very lively at the freight ahed. Both outgoing and incoming freight is very heavy at this season. RENTED.—Mr G.Perrin has already rented both the houses he has in course of erection on Ontario street. One is taken by Mr Lough, Principal of the Model 'School, and the other by Mr well,a young man who is not yet married. BAD FALL.—The other day while Mr E. Finch was up a plum tree, he had the misfortune to lose his footing and fall, breaking one of his ribs,and otherwise injuring himself. To make matters worse,he Is also suffering from a severe attack of bronchitis ; being an old man he may have a hard time of it. LITERARY SOCIETY' --There is some talk of re-oeganizing the Houseof Com- erary-Society for Vie coming winter. It was one of the most suc- cessful organizations of its kind while in existence, and could no doubt be made equally so again. By all means let it be re -organized. INCIPIENT FIRE—Some loose paper that had gathered in a window - way in front of Manning Bar Scott's office, started in a blaze on Monday morning, but was quickly put out be- fore any particular damage was done. Its origin was a mystery,but it is sup- posed that some one passing threw a lighted match therein. RUNAWAY.—On Monday morning a horse belonging to .Mr John Scott, and attached to a heavy cart, took it into its head to run away, and as it galloped up street, it came in contact with a farmer's buggy,which it upset. In the buggy was a basket of meat, evidently prepared for a threshing bee, and this was uncermoniously scattered -in the duet. INSPECTORS' CONVENTION.—A con- vention of Police Magistrates and In- spectors in Scott Act Ridings, to dis- cuss the various dithculties met with in carrying on the work, was held in Toronto, on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Huron was represented by the presence of Messrs Paisley and Sprague, Inspectors for the West and South Riding respectively. L. 0. L.—The committees appoint- ed at South and North Huron County Orange Lodges, to consider the mat- ter of- a re -division of the counties, will meet in Clinton the latter part of this month. Other matters of im- portance, of which due notice will be given, require a full attendance of all not members of the committee. The date will be given in a few days. TeR.OYTO THE ATTRACTIVE POINT. —Asshowing that. Toronto in fair time is the centre of gravity, it may be mentioned that this week over two hundred tickets were sold to that city at Clinton station, oyer one hundred of them being sold on Wednesday, and on the early train that day nearly four hundred passengers entered Stratford from this part of the line, bound for Toronto. WATCH STOLEN. — Last week a young boy about 15, giving the name of James Woods, and claiming to be from Blyth, got work at the Flax Mill here. As he could not get board anywhere else, Mr Warrener accom- dated._him_for afew days: Du in Monday morning he quit work and ;went.over to Mr Warrener's, and go- ;ing upstairs be stole a silver watch belonging to Mr Warrener's son, with which he made away and has not since been heard of. ,, . BADLY CUT.—Seaforth may be a, moral town, a little disposed at times to turn :up its nose at places that it supposes are less orderly than itself, but it nevertheless contains some ,toughs that should be in jail. On Monday evening, as the last train up was passing that station, a passenger 'sitting at an open window, had his eye badly cut by a' large piece of stone which was thrown in through the window. Whether the accident was intentional or otherwise is not known, The Brussels Post makes reference to the following circumstance, where- in a well-known Clintonian (Mrs Hunt) figures prominently : — On Thursday of this week we saw an un- usual sight, it was four generations in one tamily, on the street at one time. The persons were Mrs Hunt, aged about 80 years ; her daughter, Mrs J.Y.S. Kirk ; Mrs Harry Dennis, granddaughter of Mrs Hunt, and Edna Dennis, great-granddaughter to the old lady. ,They got a photo, taken in the afternoon. On Friday evening last a pleasant hop was participated in by friends of Mr and Mrs P. J. Reynolds; at the {silway Hotel, in honor of Miss Sharky, of Cleveland, 0., who has been their guest for the past two weeks. Dancing began at an early hour to good music, furnished by P. Quigley and others, and was kept up until the wee oma' hours. At mid- night a delicious lunch was served by the fair hostess and a bevy of pretty girls, and when the guests departed at an early hour in the morning they were unanimous in deciding it to be one of the most enjoyable events of the season,—Cont. ON THE WRONG TRAIN.—I1 s0 happens that every day, at a certain hour in the morning, and also in the afternoon, two trains bound for differ- ent places,but heading the same way, are in the Clinton yard at the same time. This has led to occasional mis- takes, travellers for Wingham, for instance, getting on the Goderich train, and travellers for Seaforth get- ting on the London train. The rail- way authorities have repeatedly tried to guard against cases of •this kind,at one timer placarding the cars, but pec ee*ould still make mistakes in e face of this. Only the other day a ung woman who was going east, got on tho train going south, her mistake not being discovered until she was near Brucefield; GJ course she had to come back by next train, and lie over until the next day. If people would exercise a little care, there would be no mistakes of this kind,and their own thoughtlessness is to blame for them. Briers, 411r W.C. Searle is yieiting friends inYerth Coe ..

Mr John Boles has been confined to his lied for about a week, and is still unable to leave it, but we hope to hear of hie speedy recovery. 3frs Gibliinge, on orthe first eet- tiers in this place, is quite ill, and is feared may not recover ; we hope these tears will prove groundless. Mr S. Booth has moved into the house recently purchased by him, on Victoria St., and is now comfortably settled down to the realities of life. Dr. Williams now rides behind the black driver owned lately by Mr Jas. Tremier. It's a quick stepper and is said to have cost considerably over $100. Mr Jos.

Mr Henry Steep, jr., (son of Mr John Steep) is home on a visit. He holds.a lucrative situation in one of the wholesale hardware houses of Winnipeg, and appears to be prosper- ing well.

Current p. • t sayssthat-he wifrs irortly take a partner in with him. 'Twee ever thus. On Thursday afternoon of last week Root.

For six weeks he bas been attending the bedside of an uncle residing near Chatham, who finally succumbed to his ailment and' was buried on Sun- day. EXCURSION TO WINNIPEG. — W. Jackson, C. P. R. agent of this place, advertises a very cheap excursion to Winnipeg and return. The fare is $25,and tickets are good to return till Nov. 10th. This is a splendid chance to visit the Prairie Province, and will be the last -chance this sumtner to get such a low trip, We find that there are quite a num- ber of persons in town besides those named in our last week's issue, who pay over $100 taxes, and among those are W. C„ Searle, Mee Wm. Coats and James Smith. Itir W. .11,. Perrin and' family are the second largest tax 'payers in town, the amount of their taxes on real estate being $220.

LITTLE FELLOWS.--FalI millinery openings will be the next excitement for the ladies. Messrs Manning and Coats are going to have one of the best built houses in town. Cider mills are in full operation, which is a sign that winter is not far distant. All who can contribute in any way to the display at our coming fall fair should do so. The reading room of our Mechanics' Institute is a favorite resort in the evening for our young people. The Toronto Exhibition opened last week but the big show this year will be Meld at Clinton, on the -27th and 28th inst. Good butter, which is a scarce -article, comnfands a high figure. There have been several acceptable rains during the past week, but the ground is still very hard and dry. We have now plenty of space and will be pleased to hear from all of our correspondents whenever con- venient. If the Scott Act is a failure will some one account for the state- ment of Blyth hotel keepers under oath, that they had no liquor in their houses for three monthsanyhow.

THE DRY GOODS EMPORIUM OF CINTO HOW TO SELL GOOD CHEAP To be able to ,sell goods cheap, requires' them to b bought cheap, and one of the hardest parts of the mer chant's business is the buying of stock. It requires great deal of judgment and hard work, and the success fill merchant of to -day is one who always devotes a grea deal of time in looking for goods that can be offered a low figures, consistent with quality. There are hundred of chances in the wholesale centres of this country fo merchants to buy cheap goods if they are in a position t take advantage of them, and right here comes in ou great success in buying goods.
