tinier IJIMSELF.—A few days since

day MrJohnCampbell, foreman in

tinues very poorly.
ACCIDENT.-- On Thursday after-
noon -a child of Mr John Dayment
met with a .painful- accident. In
climbing over a fence she fell with
' her hands outstretched, in the snow,
and one other hands'came in contact
with the jagged edges of a broken
bottle that was lying in the snow,
cutting it across the palm so severely
as to necessitate its being sewed up.
DEATH. --Mrd Rosa, relict of the
late Donald Ross, died in Clinton, on
Tuesday last, at the age of 86 years.
She has been in declining health for
some time, and her death was not
entirely unexpected. '-She was one of
the pioneers of the section, and died
on the 60th anniversary, of her mar-
riage. Her children are Mrs T. Coop-
er, Clinton, Mrs James Henderson,
Kincardine, and .Messrs.. John and
James Ross, of town.
Moven.—Mr D. Calbick`moved to
Winghare yesterday, where he takes
,possession of the furniture business
formerly conducted by•Mr"Anderson.
He is a practical workman, a firet-
-class undertaker, and the people of
Wingham will find him a thoroughly
reliablebusiness man. He was one
of the active . workers in connection
with the Methodist Sabbath School,
and will be much missed.
A Bee FALL—Reeve lttc:tfarchie
met with a bad fail on Sunday even-
ing. Going into a dark room for a
drink of water he opened a cellar
door by mistake- fora pantry door,
and fell down the cellar, bruising
himself so severely that he has since
been confined to the house,and break-
ing one of his ribs close to the back
bone. We hope his injuries may not
prove in any way serious.
SEE tug POINT.—Why" is a news-
paper like a pretty girl ? To be per-
fect it must be the embodiment of
many types, its form is made up, it is
chased, though inclined to be giddy,
it enjoys a good press, the more rapid
the better, has a weakness for gossip,
talks a great deal, can stand 'some
praise, and is awful proud of a new
dress. It cannot be kept in good
humor without cash. Please pay up.
HOTaL CHANCRe.— Mr J. Spooner
(son of Mr Charles Spooner,) has
rented Lasham's hotel, Saltford, near
Goderich, and will shortly take pos-
session. "Jack" will take a highly
esteemed young lady into partnership
with him before he goes, and with
their united experience they will
electra-fy the people of Slabtown.—
he Commercial Hotel,. here, has
been disposed of to Mr. Schaffer, of
l{ippen, who takes possession next
month, and intends to put his son -in
law in charge.
A POINTER FOR 131,18Q:118S
The agricultural shcw managers in
the Niagara Peninsula at theirrecent
convention passed one very sensible
resolution. It was to this effect:—
"rWe believe that liberal advertising
in a judicious manner tends to the
success of a show and that alt attrac-
tions should be well advertised in
order to draw non -exhibitors and
thus iperease the gate receipts,"
Here undoubtedly are cause and
effect. Does the same rule not hold
good in regard to merchants and
others who have something to sell,
and who wish to let the purchasing
public know about it? Successful
merchants, the world over, can an•
ower the question in the affirmative,
FURTHER WaHT,—Mr Jas. Baker,
late of Bathgate, Dakota, and form-
erly of Goderich township, has moved
into Oregon, concerning which be

ness. 1 am living in the forest,ust

EUCHRE—A very interesting game
of euchre was played the other even-
ing. Two gentlemen who claim to
be the champion players of this town
were challenged to a game by two
aspirants to fame, with the following
result:—

The aspirants are now practising hard
and intend to try again before long.
Two other players, of lesser calibre,
pluckily tackled the champions a few
nights ago, but were -rather severely
handled, the result being 10 games
(140 points) against 6 games (108 pts).
The players of lesser calibre, we be-
lieve intend trying at .Imaller_game
before again pluming their wings to
fly so high.
Goon JOIE—A certain gentleman
not living 50 miles from town, has
lately become greatly interested in
cards, and with a good partner has
met with a fair degree of success ag-
ainst sense good players. We might
mention that be was only sent to
Chicago once. He has felt ao elated
that he hasdubbed his team as Cham-
pions, and offers to hold good his
title against alt comers. The losers
against him have had to put up with
a great deal of chatting from this so-
called champion. team, but the joke
has been turned. At the supper table
the other evening, this champion,
flushed with a recent victory, offered
to wager $5 that they could held their
title, and while discussing the game,
the $5 bill, which had been placed on
the table, disappeared, and up to date
has not been found. No chaffing is
now heard,.but the champion is -anx-
iously looking for the lost bill, and
will resign his title if it can be found,
