gether in a hack yard. one of them,
the son of Mr E. Moody, met with a
painful, if net serious accident. A
piece of glass wee thrown by one of
the others,, striking him across the

SnOULDIER DISLOCATED.—On Wed-
nesday moping Mrs Bowie, who re-
sides below the station, had the mis-
fortune to fall into an open cellar,
is and was pretty badly bruised in ad-
dition to having her shoulder dislo-
cated. The services of a doctor were
necessary to get the shoulder in prop-
er place.
A VICIOUS ROOSTER.—A person
residing in town has for some time
bad among bis poultry a rooter
that would attack viciously any one
that came within sight of it. It would
attack an adult just as quickly as a
child, and became so bold that it was
necessary to kill it, which was done
the other day.
Loss of APPLES. — Last fall a
,quantity of apples belonging to Cox
and Elliott, of Goderich township,
was stored in a frost -proof cellar. in
town, the expectation being that the
market for apples would be better this
spring than last fall. Unfortunately
a large quantity of them have turned
out to he bad, and about fifty barrels
of spoilt fruit have already been re-
moved.
CHANGE IN TIME.—Commencing
with Monday, 29th, a change will take
place in the time of departure of the
two morning trains from this station.
The train that has usually left for the
east at 7.20 will not leave hereafter
until 7,43, and the morning train
south on the L. H. & B., due at 8
o'clock, will hereafter be due at 7.43,°
so as to make close connections with
the train going east. This will be a
great convenience to parties from the
north, who have hitherto found it
necessary to drive in so as to catch
the eastern train.

A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.—The
extensive Organ Faetory Works of
W. Doherty & Co. had a narrow
escape .from destruction by fire on
Tuesday evening. gust at seven
o'clock ,the people usually on the
streets at this hour were startled at
the ringing of the fire alarm,and were
even more so when told " it was the
Organ Factory." It was found that
the fire badjaccidentally started in the
engine room, while a young man was
at work there, in a pile of shavings,
andthese blazing up like a flash, set
fire to the roof, but it was put out be-
fore much injury was done. It was a
remarkably fortunate thing that it
was no worse.
THE CROOKS ACT. -1n reference
to a paragraph of ours concerning the
reported non enforcement of the
' Crooks Act in the South Riding, the
Expositor says:—"We have not heard
a>ly of these complaints referred to
from the South Riding, nor do we
believe that there are the slightest
grounds for complaint. We believe
that the Inspector, Mr`Bailantyne, is
fully alive to the duties of his position
and is performing these duties as
faithfully as they can be performed.
If those who complain, and are aware
of infractions of the Act,will give the
Inspector the necessary information
we are very sure he will take the most
prompt action to punish the guilty.
As the parties can do this without
being known in the case at all, if the
law` is being violated to their know-
ledge and they fail to notify the In-
spector they,and not he, are to blame.
If he fails to act on the information
given, then he is to blame. But we
have yet to learn that any failures of
this nature can be charged against
him,"
CRIMINAL ASSAULT.—One evening
last week at about 9.30 o'clock, a
couple of buggies were observed.stand-
ing at the corner of Huron and
Orange Streets, one of them occupied
by a couple of young men, and the
users of the other buggy standing on
the street. A married lady returning
home was accosted by the men on
the street, who tried to catch her, but
she made her escape from them.
Shortly afterwards the rascals caught
is young girl who was passing along,
but her screams compelled them to -
release her before 64 had suffered
violence, and jumping into the buggy
all the parties drove off in the direc-
tion of Goderich. Who the parties
were is at present unknown,but every
effort should be, made to arrest and
punish villians of this stamp. Rare
as criminal assaults of this nature are
here, this is once too often, and we
hope the perpetrators of this net may
be caught and dealt with as they p
deserve.
We are pleased to note that Mr Jas
Combe, jr., has entirely recovered
from his prolonged illness.
The Dauntless Lacrosse Club, of
Clinton, has been admitted into the
Canadian Lacrosse Association.

The statement in last, week's Ex-
positor, that the Clinton Pop Works

Seaforth to play them 'a match. on
Good Friday, but have bad to decline

A meeting of the West Huron

Our "Devil," who was at the enter-
tainment Tuesday night, handed in

But would marry any day.
Iz.srEcrloN—Mr J Seath inspected
the Collegiate Institute on Thursday
and Friday of last week, visiting from
room to room during the teaching
hours. He also examined the gym-
nasium, and the work in Calisthenics
done by the girls. The Junior In•
spectors' style of asking questions,
and the severity of them also, have
brought down on him much adverse
criticism, and his visits are not usual-
ly welcomed by students. On leav-
ing the school last week he expressed
to the Trustees his unqualified admir-
ation for the excellent results shown
by the school during the past year,
and for its present efficient standing.
It is well known throughout the Pro-
vince that for years some of the High
Schools were doing Institute work,
and among them Clinton school rank-
ed well to the front. It is gratifying
to know that this institution is still
maintaining its high position and is
worthy the cordial supli'ort of all
THE DAIRYMAIDS.—A large num-
ber participated in the excellent sup-
per provided by the "dairymaids" of
Rattenbury St. church, on Tuesday
evening, and afterwards occupied the
town hall during the rendition of the
programme.- The platform was de-
corated in keeping with the occasion
milk pans and pails, churns and
similar articles adorning it, while the
young 'edits wore print dreams with
white muslin aprons, kerchiefs and
caps. The programme was as follows:
Introductory chorus, Dairymaids,
Odet Dairymaids; President's address,
Miss Gilroy ; duet, Where are you
going, my pretty maid, ,Mise Kate
Williams and Mr R. Foster ; reading,
The three lovers, Miss Irwin ; chorus,
Merry farmers' girls, Dairymaids
trio, Three old maide of Lee, Misses
Boles, Morton and Gorrell ; orchestra,
by -eight -dairymaids; udder the super
vision of Mies Depew recitation,The
girl of the period, Mies Doherty ;
chorus, Whistle and Hoe, Dairymaids;
instrumental solo,Mise Depew; quar-
tette, selected, Misses A. Rumball
Marcy, E. Rumball and Noble; tab-
Ieau,Dairymaids at work,Dairymaids.
In the "Whistle and Hoe" chorus,the
dairymaids, numbering forty, after
singing the song, turned their' backs
upon the 'audience and whistled the
chorus, much to the amusement of
the audience, who, in fact, vocifer-
ously applauded each performance.
The pieces did not follow each othe
in quick enough succession, and this
gave boys in the hall an opportunity
to become restless, which they. were
not slow to improve, and the noise
they made at each drop of the curtain
was anything but becoming. The
roceeds of the entertainment were
in the neighborhood of $62.

It is said that Rev Wm Torrance,of

invitation to Stratford next year.

ed in Ontario St. Church by Rev. W.

ofeminent men who proved that pro-
miscuous dancing bad au immoral
tendency, and should not be indulged
in by those who wished to be pure
and holy. ' The sermon has been epo-
kenof as an exceptionally able one.
The following, from the Expositor,
refers to a gentleman well known
here as the former pastor of Willis
church :—"At the close of his sermon
on Sabbath morning, Rev A. D.
McDonald, pastor of the Seaforth
Presbyterian •church, referred to the
fact that that day, the 7th of April,
was the tenth anniversary of his in.
duction to the pastorate of the con-
gregation, and also to the further fact
that he had been thirty years an or-
dained minister. In reviewing his
connection with the church he gave
some figures showing the progress the
congregation had made and the work
done during the ten years that be bad
been ite pastor. On the 7th of April,
1879, the membership was 285. ""Dur-
ing the following ten years there have
been added 585 members. Of these
95 were received by the union of
Harpnrhey congregation ; 243 on pro-
fession of faith,and 246 by certificate.
There have been 55 removed by death;
220 by certificate, and 67 by action
of Session, leaving the present mem-
bership 527, or nearly double what it
was ten years ago. In 1879 the debt
on the church building was 83,163 ;
this, with the cost of the manse and
interest, amounted to the sum of
88,289, all of which has been liquidat-
ed, and the congregation is now and
has been for some time free from
debt.
ELBOW OUT OF JOINT.—On Mon-
day last a son of Mr Wray, who re-
sides on the Base line, Hullett, fell
out of a hay -loft and dislocated his
arm at the elbow. He..,,was brought
to town andhad the arm replaced;
but had to be put under the influence
of chloroform, before it could be
done.
To PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.—
Do you expect your children to get
promoted at the public school exam-
inations in June Do you send your
children to school regularly ? Do
you see that they prepare their home-
work ? Do you give notes to your
children requesting the teacher to ex-
cuse unprepared lessons, or to allow
them to leave school at 3 o'clock in
order to escape preparation of ne-
glected work after 4 o'clock 7 Why
is it that the attendance is smaller on
Friday than other days ? Pupils who
neglect "home -work" . cannot suc-
ceed in passing the approaching ex-
aminations, and therefore, cannot be
promoted. In the two highest divi-
sions from 1 to, hours should be
given to study, 1 hour in the 3rd and
4th divisions, and } hour in the 5th
and 6th divisions. Will those par-
ents who are anxious to have their
children succeed kindly assist and
encourage teachers by seeing that
their children are at school every
hour possible, and that they come
with lessons prepared.
