RENTED.—Mr. Joseph Revealle,who
at one time worked with Mr Tipling,
ut has been living at Alpena, Mich.,
for several pears,has rented the black-
smith shop of Mr L.Elliett,Goderich,
and takes possession at once. He
says a man may get better wages in
the States than he can here, but he
saves eo more money, as living is
higher.
ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon
last, while Mr T. C. Edmonds was at
work in front of a circular saw at
Oakes' Organ Factory,a piece of wood
flew from a board that was being cut,
and struck him immediately above
the right eye, inflicting a very pain-
ful cut. The eye is not, we believe,
injured, but it will be some time be-
fore he is able to use it° The stick
which struck the bone was bruised by
the force of the blow.
THEY DON'T MEAN IT.—It is said
that some of the hitherto strong
Grange supporters of Robt. Porter,
M: 'P., for West Huron, have become
so disgusted at his recent vote in the
House, that they bave notified him
:that they can support -him no longer.
But the probabilities are that before
another election they will forget all
about this, and if Robt. Porter should
happen to be the candidate again,they
will support him just as warmly as
ever.
Stephenson'a seoond eldest daughter,
on Monday, was aparticularly sac{
event, occurring during the protracted
illness of Ur Stephenson, and Mrs S.
being also in poor bealth,from fatigue
and anxiety. Much sympathy is ex-
pressed for the afflicted family.
WHAT'S IN THE WIND.= -Messrs P.
Kelley, Dr.Holmee and F. W.Johns-
ten held a caucus in Clinton last Fri-
day, when, we have reason to believe,
the question of the Goderich Post
Office was the subject under consid-
eration. These gentlemen apparent-
ly think they have the settlement of
who shall get the poatmaatership in
their own hands, and it is very kind
of them to meet so disinterestedly
and try to fix the appointment.
RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. --On Tues-
day. Mr Charles Carter, formerly of
this place, met with an accident north
of Seaforth. He got out to water his
horse. and had taken the bridle out
of its mouth, when it started away,
and in his efforts to stop it he was
thrown down and, trampled upon.
The horse continued running until it
had smashed the buggy. We are
told that Mr Carter's injuries, are
pretty serious, he being still at the
scene of the accident.. Several ribs
are broken. •
VETS.—The closing exercises of the
Ontario Veterinary College were held

Huron who graduated were the fol-
lowing :—F. S. Beattie, Seaforth ; F.

HAIR SPLITTING.—Our local co -
tem denies that at the Conservative
Convention in Smith's Hill, any reso-
lution bearing on the Goderich post -
mastership was introduced. On au-
thority that we consider just as good
as our local coterie. we repeat the
statement that some such resolution
was introduced. We may not 'have
given the exact wording of the reso-
lution but the import was correct, as
Conservatives who were present have
admitted to us. What worries our
Conservative friends is where the
Naw ERA got its information, and
some have taken the trouble to come
and ask tis.
ExPLANATORY.—In our reference
to the failure of Mr_Recey, it was said
that "he attributed it to the fact that
he had carried the liabilities of his
late brother; eta" These were the
words that had been used to us by
Mr Racey himself, in giving an ex-
planation of his difficulties, and as
we then knew nothing to the con-
trary, we used the expression. We
have since. learned that it is anything
but correct, and does, an injustice to
the late J. B. Racey, and also to his
family. The estate of Mr J. B. Racey
was worth $5,412, after all liabilities
bad been paid, and the interest of
this, at 8 per cent., was what Mrs
Racey was depending on for her sup-
port. Now that the principal, and
the unpaid interest for six ,months,
has been swept away, Mrs Racey
feels herself in a particularly unfor-
tunate condition, which is intensified
by the fact that for two months she
has been confined to her room by ill-
ness. •
Too MANY:—It really looks as if
the Brussels Budget has succumbed to
hard times and worse management,
for the plant is offered for sale, . and
for the present publication has ceased.
While Brussels is too small a place
for two papers to make any money
in, the•Budrret might have existed for
some time longer if it had been han-
dled differently. Whether it would
have eventually succeeded or not is a
question. Its editor was possessed of
ft certain amount of ability, but evi-
dently lacked the judgment to use it
p roperly. •
MODEL LITERARY ,SOCIETY.—The
meeting of the Literary Society, room
No. 1, was held ou Friday, March
29th, with Vice -Pres., M. Paisley in
the chair. The following programme
was rendered :—Minutes of last meet-
ing read and adopted ; song by school
choir, duets by E. Cooper and H.
Irwin, W. Shepherd and A. Cantelon,
song, seven girls and quartette flub ;
readings by E. Tipling, M. Paisley,
A. Cantelon, I. Hamlier, Mr Lough
and H. Irwin'; critic's report. It was
moved and seconded that rooms Nos.
1 and 2 take singing for half an hour,
every Friday afternoon, also that ver -
sons havingtheir names on the pro-
gramme and coming unprepared
ryhgtt14 take selections out of the 4th
Reader. -
GOOD STOCK SOLD,—Messrs John
Mackay & Sons, of Kippen, breeders
of Shorthorn cattle and Clydesdale
horses, have purchased from W. S.
Biggins, of Elmhurst Farm, Clinton,
the nine months old Shorthorn cult,
Royal Saxon,-10537,=sired by Im-
ported Excelsior (51233) and his dam
is Matchless 19th by Imported States-
man (32607), a celebrated show bull
both in Canada and the United States,
and his gratiddam, .Imparted Match-
less 16th by Senator (27441), a winner
of cups and first prizes at Aberdeen,
Perth and Cupar, Scotland. Match-
less 19th is the dam of many success-
ful prize winners, some of them tak-
ing first honors at the principal ex-
hibitions in Canada, and Mr Macray's
Royal Saxon gives promise of making
a fine show animal. Royal Celt
-= 10988= a seven months aid calf
from Isabella 13roughton,is yet for
sale.
A CLOLE SHAVE.—The other day
while Rev J.Edge was out on pastoral
work, at the northern limit of the
town, his usual equanimity was con-
siderably disturbed by a bullet whiz-
zing past him and burying itself in
the snow at hie side. A moment later
a person with a rifle lying over his
arm appeared in sight, and when he
was informed that he had nearly de-
prived Clinton of one of its most
popular ministers, he could scarcely
believe it, It seems that he had been
out hunting, and as he came near
town, concluded to unload his gun,
and, as he thought, fired it into a
telegraph post,but examination show-
ed that the bullet had just cut through
the side of the poste -and then passed
uncomfortably close to Mr Edge,being
found in the snow. The sportsman
was just as much pleased as the pas-
tor, that the bullet had not done any
injury,

WALL :: PAPER
Mrs A. W. Carslake, after an ab-
sence of a couple of months in the
States. is back home again. A. W.
looks like another man since her re-
turn.
The young man Ball,who was fined
last week for using profane language,
was not the young man of that name
who is employed at McKenzie's plan-
ing mill.
Among those who graduated last
week at the Detroit School of Medi-
cine, we notice the name of W. W.
Barkwell, son of Mr R. Barkwell, of
this place.
A cook with kapp-on is nothing un-
usual, and the Clintonian who went
to Toronto the other day will agree
with us that it is better to have the
Kapon than not.
A person who had represented a
musical house in Russia, Prussia,
Germany, and other foreign countries,
this week applied for an agency for
the Doherty organ.
Mrs H. J. Cornell, of Watford, by
the recent death of an uncle in Ham-
ilton, falls heir to a legacy of over
$10,000. Mr Carnell was at one time
an employee of the Doherty Organ
Factory.
Mr S. Malcomson has been ap-
pointed Master in Chancery, in place
of Mr Macdermott, deceased. Mr
Malcomson has nominally held this
position for some time prior to the
decease of the late Master.
Mr S. S. Cooper has been awarded
the contract of buildinga solid brick
house forMr"W.Eleoat, Tuckersmith.
Mr Cooper is taking the lead this
season,. and as Sam is a good man,
Mr Elcoat is already assured of a
first class job.
Mr Harry Rowlands, who has oc-
cupied the position of book-keeper in
McClary's Manufacturing' Company,
London, for several years, left last
week for Montreal, where he assumes
a similar position in a large whole-
sale house. [Harry is an old Clinton.
ian, his father bei ng at one time bode'
keeper for S. Davis.
A fierce prairie fire near Scotland;
Dakota, on Tuesday, did immense
damage. Among the property burn-
ed was the barns, dairies; cattle sheds,
and household furniture of Mr Al-
fred Brown (the house alone being
saved). If we are not greatly mis-
taken, this person is an old Huronite,
and was, we think, reeve of the town-
ship of Morris.
3IVIS10N COURT CASES.—Among
the changes made in the statutes af-
fecting Division Court practice at the
last session of the Ontario Legislature,
the following are of special interest :
The whole amount of wages due to
an unmarried man having no family
to support are now liable to garnish-
ment, the exemption of $25 being no
longer applicable in such cases. Suits
which have been entered in the wrong
division may be transferred to the
proper division for trial without. the
production of an affidavit that they
were SO entered "`by mistake or in-
advertence," which was formerly re-
quired. Judgment may be entered
against the defendants, residing in a
" distant county" five days sooner
than formerly. Service of summons
no longer requires to bee personal on
the defendant except where the claim
sued upon exceeds $15. The qualifi-
cation of Division Courturors will
hereafter be the same as in tbo Su-
perior courts.
TowN ComecIL.--The regular meet-
ing of the council was held on Mon-
day night. The report of •the Street
Committee recommended the follow-
ing improvements:—Aetone crossing,
the same width as that between Al-
bert and Huron streets, to be built
from the market building to Hod -
gens' store. That a seven -foot walk
be built from Dinsleys' coires4 north-
ward as far as necessary 'that a
plank walk, the same width as the
present one, be built in front of the
Town Hall. nate 200 feet of the
-drain on Princess and Orange streets
be boxed in and covered. The re-
port was adopted. The Finance
Committee recommended payment of
the following accounts:—W. G. Per-
rin, rent for Miss White's house,
$2,50; Peter Towers, charity for Mies
"McMdllen, $8.75; G. Tedford, wood,
$2.50; J. Jackson, rent for customs
office, $9; the receipts of the town
hall for March were $30; of weigh
scales, -$16.50. The committee re•
commended the payment of t25 to
James Sheppard, so as,to make the
license paid py him last year, the
same as the license foe this year.
Both Mr Corbett and Mr Stephenson
elaiming rent for the pound to the
lst of November, the matter was left
over until Mr Stephenson could ap-
pear before the committee.
THE CROOKS ACT.—Since the re-
peal of the Scott Act temperance mat-
ters have not been as active as they
were, and people have rested en the
enforcement of the Crooks Act. In
West Huron the Act bas been fairly
well observed, and the Inspector has
tried to do his duty in having its re-
quirements met. Wis are told, how-
ever, that there is some dissatisfaction
among temperance people in the
South Riding, who think the Ant
might be more rigidly enforced than
it is. We know nothing personally
about the matter, but those who are
in a position to look into it, should
see how the - Act is being enforced,
and if the Inspector in that Riding is
not doing his duty he should be made
to. It is worth while to study tip
the present Crooks Act, which is a
scorcher, and not at all in many re-
spects like it was three years ago.
Under the latter law both the buyer
and seller of liquor on Sunday are
equally liable,and a hotel -keeper may
bo fined for having a light in his bar-
room during prohibited boura at any
time, or for allowing any person to
enter his barroom other than mem-
bers of hie family or his servants.

ingstone will speak on Dancing\
Among the appointments made uj
the Home Mission Committee of the
Presbyterian church, for the summer
months, is that of Rev Mr Rumball
to 13rtsce County, and D. Rose to
Brandon.
Rev J. Edge delivered an address
at Goderich, on Tuesday, under the
auspices of the Royal Template of
Temperance. Rev. J. Livingstone
spoke at Mitchell the same evening.
It is somewhat of a compliment to the
hub that its ministers, public speak-
ers and singers are in suck general
demand by outside places.
Messrs H. Foster, Jas. Scott and
A. H. Manning, representing three
of the Sunday Schools of town, have
issued invitations -to quite a number
of townspeople who are known as S.
S. teachers or officers, for a Sunday
School conversazione, to be held in
the lecture room of Ontario St.
church, this (Friday) evening,at 7.30.
An excellent programme has been
prepared,the s` bjects being of special
interest to 5. S: workers, and a pro-
fitable and pleasant time is antici-
pated. '
In place of the usual sermon, last
Sunday evening, Rev Wm. Craig
gave a condensed history of the church
of England, dating back as far as the
fourth century, and proving, from
itidisputableointhority, (namely, that
of a Roman Catholic �iistorian,) that
the Church of England (evidently of
apostolic origin and probably estab-
lished>before the Church of Rome)
never seceded from Rome, as some
people would have as believe, but
continually protesting against her
encroachments, and threw off her
yoke entirely at the time of the Re-
formation.—COM.
