FILL WHEAT CROP.—In many sections in this neighborhood fall wheat does not look as well as it pro- mised in the fall, In .parts of the county it is very "spotty," and in some instances patches have been plowed up. There are some' fields that look remarkably fine, while others are poor and have a discouraging look, but it is expected that the crop on the whole will be more than an average one.

THE AGITATION..—The Globe says that among the places that have ask- ed the Toronto Citizens' Committee for speakers, to address meetings on the Jesuit question, is Clinton. It must be by some private individual, for there has been no meeting here that we know of, to arrange for any- thing of the kind.

As Mr Searle was not pugilistically inclined, she then wanted him to send her to Goderich jail, which he also declined tee do. He thinks such people are enough to destroy any country.

CONCERNING STUDENTS.—Mr JOlin Cooper who went to Toronto to write at the 'University Examinations, has decided to remain' in that city for the present, having taken a situation in a large Yonge Street store. We learn that through ill -health J. A. Croll has been unable to write on some of the honor -papers of his department,, at the examinations now in progress at the University of Toronto. • A BAD CLIP:—The other evening while playing football Mr W, McGee was struck squarely on the left optic by a li a troll, For about thirty seconds he thought the whole earth had collapsed tied hit him, and when he had recovered his composure there was a lump on one side of his face as big as , a goose egg, and he was only able to see out of one eye. Careful treatment reduced the swelling and removed the soreness, but the mark is still there. CRtPs.—Mr 1.1. M. Malloch, In- spector, who is this week looking after the Turnberry schools, informs us that he has lately been through the townships of Tuckersmith, Hul- lett, McKillop and East Wawanosh, and in ail his journey bas not seen a bad field ofgrain.

This depression has been hovering over the central part of the continent for a week, drawing to itself hot, moist air from the South. There is comfort in the thought that the mercury has now fallen to a temperate basis, and that it is likely we shall not have a return to torrid weather for some time. AN OPEN AIR CIRCUS. --An enter- tainment, rendered in the open air, was given the residents of one of our leading streets, the other morning. The actors were two well-dressed and well-known gentlemen, and two cows that had more perverseness and mean • ness in their nature than one would have thought it possible to crowd into their small carcasses. It was a free circus, in fact it was so free -and - easy, and all the participants per- formed their parts so cheerfully, that the spectators were convulsed time and again. The gentlemen in ques- tion each own a cow, one of which, being a thoro-bred of a certain breed, is not much larger than an 'ordinary calf. It was decided to take the cows to pasture, and as they had been housed 'for some time, both were as frisky as spring calves. To ensure safety a rope was attached to each cow. One of the, gentlemen wore an old hat that had evidently been used as a stool on more occasions than one, and showed signs of weak- ness in its crimped sides. .Once on, the road to the pasture field and the fun began. The little cow inparticu. lar pulled first into one side of the road, then to the other, then it'exe- cuted all sorts of manceuvres,its owner Meanwhile following the end of the rope. " Pick it up and carry it," cried one irreverent youth, or " it will squeeze through that picket fence if you are not careful," was another remark applied to the happy owner, who took the banter all in good part. but meanwhile looked like the typical Irishman trying to drive a dontrary pig to market. The cows were event- ually taken toasture, but it is safe to say that in future no attempt ,will be made to lead them by a rope. THE GRAND LODGE AT GOnERICH. —A meeting of the reception com- mittee to the Grand Lodge at Gode- rich was held here, on Friday last, County Master Moody in Elie chair. A large number were in attendance from different points. The Grand Lodge meeting opens on the 28th inst., and addresses of welcome will be presented from the County Lodge' of South Huron and from the town council of Goderich. On the morn- ing of thel'eecond day arrangements ate being made for an excursion on the lake, On the evening of the second day a grand banquet will be tendered the delegates. It is expect- ed the meeting will be largest of the kind ever held in the Dominion. As a number from the distant provinces have signified their intention of being present, railway certificates and air• culars giving hotel rates and other information are being issued from the Grand Secretary's office, this week. l�L.a•: \Aut.J Vk4v.r4kl W.an,;13',.8u'1,,'..;+' the ;;n4.t4fWwYoirt 'P_foP�fd .k.Pw.lMia'..e14si,i,�b-_u MEN'S BLUE SERGE SUITS, to order, MEN'S HALIFAX TWEED SUITS, - - 810 MEN'S CANADIAN TWEED SUITS,- - 812 MEN'S SCOTCH TWEED SUITS, - - - 815 1We have lately bought two stock of Goode at ripe. on the dollar, and we are prepared to offer the Cheapest Clothing in this section.
