Mrs Hamilton,, who resides near Brucefield, underwent an operation the other day for the re- moval of an ovarian tumor, which was successfully performed. There were four doctors in attendance upon her, two of them being from Clinton. MAGISTRATES CASES. — Ed ward Daley, of Goderich, was charged by Constable Tedford with being drunk and disorderly, and the Mayor fined him $1 and costs. The Fleming boys, committed to jail last week, come up for trial before the county judge, on the 10th inst. The youth Moffatt, committed at the same time, was re- leased on bail. Constable Tedford charged R. Newmarch, S. Bell and W. Torbett with playing ball on the streets contrary to by-law ; a fine of $1 and costs each was imposed. CATTLE.—Among cattle shipped from this place during the last few days were 3 head bought from Jos. Proctor, Goderich township, that weighed 3590 lbs.; 7 head of Messrs Ransford, 7600 lbs.; also from the same persona, 21 head, weighing 25070 lbs.; from W.'Robinson, Gode- rich towuship,2 head, 25.40 lbs.; Robe. Plewes,Tuckersmith,3 head, 3520 lbs.; from John Cox, jr., 6 bead, 6320 lbs. Yesterday Mr James Fair sold 20 head weighing 24,770 lbs, and Mr Forrester sold 10, weighing 13,520 lbs. BAcg AGAi.l.—Mr Whittingham, of Stanley, brother-in-law of Mr J. Bean, returned from the Northwest last week, whither he had gone in the spring. It will be remembered that, after spending several years there he got discouraged by the frosts and drouths, and returned here and rent- ed -'a farm in 'Stanley, on Which—lie lives at present. Mr Whittinghame found his old friends in the vicinity of Qu'Appelle doing well, quite pros- perous, and the crops looking fine, and has secured the pre-ewption of his brother, on 'which he "purposes moving next 'spring. He went to Calgary but says it is in no sense a farming country, being fit only for ranching. While there he bought and broughtback with him an Indian chief's beaded jacket, which is quite a curiosity. Zan Zopirs. CLkANING CLOTHES.—We can re- commended Mr A. W. Carslake as one vvhi can clean up old clothes and "make them just as good as new," he having done work for ourselves in the most satisfactory manner. Every body knows that an editor never wears anything but old clothes, and the necessity of them being spruced up occe in a while will be obvious. CORRECTI0N.— It seems that we were misinformed concerning the Miss Gregory, of whom mention was made last, week, as having taken the degree of B.A., at Toronto University. It was not the lady of that name who taught school in this vicinity, that took the honors, but a neice of Mrs W. F. Murray, of Atholecot, who resides in Hamilton. Clinton still has a share in the honors at any rate. Scj300I, NOTES,— The Collegiate Institute closed for the summer boll= clays last Friday, and the Model School will close this (Friday) after- noon. Parents and -others are asked to be present at the closing examina- tions. The - average attendance dur- ing June was 460, the largest num- ber in the history of the school, and a,particularly large number for June, . which is usually regarded as • -a low month. A SwAR.7+i OF BEES —The other day as • Messrs Alex. Welsh and W. C. Searle were passing the Model School grounds, they neeiced on the limb of one of the maple trees a cluster that they at first took for a wasp's nest, but on closer inspection they found it to he a large swarm of bees that had settled down for the night. As these gentlemen did not feel disposed to pocket the bees they started in search of that ,well known apiarist,, Mr H. R. 'Walker, who got a hive, cut off the limb, and 'had the bees safely hived at dusk. The ques- tion has been jokingly asked " Who is the legal owner of the bees ?" as all these persons were,legally, trespassers in the schools grounds. We do not suppose any one will care a pin., but it just shows what nice legal points can be raised sometimes. Little Local Items. New potatoes aro in. Mr Ed Peckett, of Stratford, spent Sunday in town. Mrs Ross, of Whitemouth, Man., is here on a visit. Mr A. Petty, of Woodstock; -spent Sunday in town. Mr Nelson Carson, of Manitoba, is here on a visit. Mr Robt. Fitzsimons left last Fri- day, on a trip to Manitoba. Mrs Brigham, of Toronto, is visit- ing relatives and friends here. Mr F. Baulch, of Woodstock, is visiting relatives and friends here. Over 400 tickets were sold at Clin- ton station on Monday, for Goderich. Mrs Keachie, and her sister, Mrs Fletcher, of Galt, are both here on a visit. Mr Robert Jackson and wife, of Fullerton, have been visiting friends here. Misses Lizzie Gorrell and Nellie Noble spent Sunday in the quiet town of Goderich. A school trustee election to fill Mr Thompson place will be held on Thursday next. Monday being a holiday council did not meet, but it was called for last (Thursday) night. Mrs 13. Webb was called away the other day, owing to the serious illness of her eldest daughter. The rain and hail storm of Monday is said to have done considerable damage in the country. fir .Walter_Cnra left_nn a trip a the old 'country last week, being booked through by W. Jackson. Mrs Townsend has improved her lots on Kirk and Townsend streets by putting a gas pipe fence around them. Mrs R. Holmes and family, who have been visiting at St. Catharines for three weeks past, have returned to town. Mr Frank Vogler, (nephew of Mrs Wm. Coates, sr.,) and bride. of Port- land, Oregon, were here on their wed- ding tonna eefi�...; ._.... ``• Mr James Muir, of Toronto, who was in the tailoring business here about 20 years ago, is visiting some of his old friends here. The weather we have is not exactly produced by an isothermal wave, but an ice-othermal or any other wage would be a little relief. ORANGE MATTERS.—From present appearances the Orange demonstra- tion in Exeter, on the 12th of July, will be the largest west of Toronto. The ablest Orange orators in the Do- minion have been secured for the occasion, among whom are, Grand Master, N. C. Wallace, M. P.; Pro- vincial Grand Master, W . W. Fitz- gerald ; Deputy Provincial Grand Master, J. L. Hughes ; Rev Rural Dean Cooper: Dr Oronhyatakha, and others. There will be a band com- petion with prizes for the best fife and drum bands, and we understand our Ciinton,boys will compete for the latter. The three Indian lodges from the Reserve, with their two brass bands, will be also in Exeter. A grand: display of fireworks, under the management of Prof. Hand, of Ham- ilton, will take place in the evening. It is'eapected that London city alone will turn out from two to three thou- sand people to Exeter on that day. NEWSPAPER NOTES.—The first of July witnessed a number of changes among prominent newspaper men. Mr Archie Bremner, the exceedingly clever editor of the London'Adver- tiser, stepped out of the editorial ranks to enter the theatrical profes- sion. ; Mr J. D. Clarke, late assistant editor of the Hamilton Times, became Mr Bremner's successor, and Mr John Carrick, formerly of the Exeter Re- flector, walked into Mr Clarke's shoes. Mr J. S. Briery, for some time past 'manager and part proprietor of the St. Thomas Journal, purchased the concern entire, and will hereafter work it for all it is worth. The Guelph Herald, a paper with more visicitades than any other in Ontario, appears in a new dress. Mr J. S. Willison, the assistant manager of the Toronto Globe says that " from this time forth the Globe will be the lead- ing newspaper of the continent, and no expense will be spared to keep it at the front." EDITORIAL OUTINGS.—A trip to Toronto the other day showed that the crops in the county of Huron are just as promising as those en route or in the neighborhood of the Queen City, while thele are any number of fields close to Toronto that seem to be growing nothing but mustard. One will not spend much time on King St., Toronto,; without meeting numbers of people who were formerly Huronites, and the majority of whom appear to be prospering. A former Clintonian, well known, but it is not necessary to give his name, has "struck it rich" by real estate speculation, having cleared • $5000 in 13 months. After crossing the lake into the "Niagara District" one finds themselves in the fruit garden of Ca- nada, farms of one hundred acres be- ing all set out in fruit ofvarious kinds.• Apples, pears,peaches,plums, cherries and berries will be a fairly good crop in the district, but there will be very few grapes, these being destroyed by the frost. Grain looks much better there than it does here, besides being further advanced, and they have been subject to just as much rain as here, but the soil is lighter and more porous. On the whole the fruit -raisers and farmers of the Niagara District will harvest good crops. WELL DONE VICTORIAS.—On the lst,tbe Victoria Cricket Club, juniors, went on a small tour, going to Paris on the 1st and Stratford ou the 2nd. They left on the 7.43 a. m. train and arrived in Paris at 10.30 a. m. They immediately went to the Riverside park, and after donning their flannels went on the field. The crease is a grand one, being as smooth as a floor all over, it was a pleasure for the boys to plev on it. Much different from any crease in Clinton. Play com- menced at 11.30 with Paris to the bat. Owing to the phenomenal bowl- ing of Chidley and McMurchie, Walters made 13, being the only one to reach double figures for the Paris team. The side was retired' for 29 runs. Clinton went to the bat at once, Malloch, by grand playing, making 30 runs. He was within an ace of carrying his bat, being the last man out. Clinton made 47 for the lst innings. Paris again went to bat and made 30 rune, this left Clinton 12 runs to beat. However it took 8 men to make this 12, The boys went to bat and madelthe necessary 12 with 8 men out. The boys got rattled and sent up catches, which were readily and handily accepted by the Paris team. However the boys won by 2 wickets and 2 runs. Thus concluded their first game. This was the real match of the tour, and the boys won it as they would have won the game on the 24th here, had it been played out. The Viets. stayed over night at Paris and enjoyed themselves, rowing being a sport largely indulged in. They behaved themselves in a most gentlemanly way, a characteristic of Clinton clubs. In the morning of the 2nd they left for Stratford, and stetted to play at 1.30 p. m. Clinton went to bat and had 2 men out for 15 runs, when down came the rain in torrents. They had to pull up stumps, and the most of them Dame homy in the 6.25 train. They would have won, however, and were much die - appointed at not having a chance to comp.ete the game. The boys did not make one fluke in their game against Paris, and the Paris team was almost as good. They all enjoyed themselves immensely, and were pleased with their trip. They are now on ttiie lookout for challenges. COWS AT LARGE.— The Clinton NEW ERA complains bitterly about the damage done to gardens in that town by the nightly depredations of vagrant cows. Why don't Clinton rise to the dignity of a first-class town and pass a by-law prohibiting these animals from running at large, in- stead of allowing its streets, to remain a cow pasture. If grass will grow on ite streets, it would pay better to hoe. it out, than to let the cows run at large to eat it down.—Seaforth Ex- positor. [The following from our Seaforth correspondence of limit week would indicate that the grass is also growing in the streets of that flag - station :—A new fire alarm, in the form of a stenwhistle, was placed 1, on Broadfoot . Box's factory this w liic. The of izeus of town "(and we are inclined to think, of a number of miles out in the country) had the benefit of the sound of it, when being tested, on Tuesday last, which very mach resembled that of the bellowing of an infuriated one of the bovine kind, and it was rather amusing to notice the cows running from every street in the direction of the sound. Strangers in town, seeing ao many cows rvnning at large, would be •im- pressed with the fact of there being no cow by-law in Seaforth,1 Great - Discount -Sale FOR THE NEXT 60 DAYS, AT DICKSON'S BOOKSTORE On 01.111\1-T01V POCKET BOOKS 'wc will give a discount of 25 per cent JEWELLERY SILVERWARE MISCELLAEOUS BOOKS BIBLES, old version, " PHOTO ALBUMS, AUTOGRAPH ALBUMS " SPECTACLES CUPS and SAUCEIIS PIPES VASES and CHINA GOODS VIOLINS and FIXINGS " CONCERTINAS and ACCORllEONS WALL PAPER „ 85 41 This local item may interest some reader, as it has great interest for us just now :—Is your subscription paid up ? If not please pay it at once. Mr Herb. Elliott, mail clerk on the L. H. & B. R., has been off duty for some time, having been laid up with an attack of muscular rheumatism. A letter, making some comments on the paper of Mr Manning, read before the late Teachers' Association meeting, is crowded out until next week. 'Tis night, the rain it patters -on the window pane, and Pratt -ling children cease to roam the street, and-er-so(o)n the silent one may unmolested go his weary way alone. A daughter of Mr J. W. Irwin, of this place, succeeded in winning an art scholarship in connection with Toronto Public Schools. This is pretty good for a child 15 'years of age. The 33rd Battalion, of Huron, of which Clinton company formed a part, carried off the second prize at the band tournament of the militia camp in London, the 28th taking first. We learn that the Tennis Club will shortly play a match with Clinton. The above is taken from a Blyth paper, and this is the first time we have heard of Clinton having -a tennis club. Amongst those who are to deliver addresses at the Orangemen's gather- ing here on the 12th July, are Rev W. F. Wilson, of. Toronto, and Rey 3. Livingstone, of Clinton.— Wing - ham Times. An extensive and interesting pro- gramme was introduced into Batten - bury St. Sabbath School last Sabbath, in connection with the monthly re- view. Singing was the principal feature of it. Next week Messrs W. R. Lough, S. W. Perry, R. Irwin and J. C. Detlor leave on trip through Manitoba, the Northwest Territory and British Co- lumbia, having taken through• tickets from A. 0. Pattison. , A St. Marys paper says :—" Mr Robert Porter, M.P., for West Huron, spent Saturday afternoonin town. He is holding a series of meetibgs in his constituency this week." When he calls going backask him how he likes it as far as he has gone. Frank Irving, an old Clinton (Ont.) boy, has been down in East Saginaw the past week, celebrating silver wed- dings. Having been engaged in the•, purchase of presents and suburban real estate, Frank will postpone his visit to Canada this season. So says the British American.., The following is from the Blyth Standard, and is in connection with a report of the Fireman's concert given there recently :— The Misses Hearn and Robertson, of Clinton, delighted the people ; the former with her beautiful singing and the latter with her well rendered readings and recitations. 20 25 25 25 25 20 25 20 25 25 20 20 L1� BQaus,-doa�A�,s r 1�EIr Imo, J m, - i T .

A PROPER AMENDMENT.—While we have always advocated the en- forcement of License Laws wherever in existence, we have believed that the Liquor License Act was weak in the fact that it made no provision for punishing purchashers of liquor dur- ing prohibited hours, as well as the sellers thereof. An amendment to the Liquor License Act now makes purchasers and drinkers of intoxicat- ing liquors liable .in certain cases. aa well as the sellers, to a penalty. Non-payment of a fine for a first of- fence now makes the offender liable to imprisonment, whereas formerly a second offence has been necessary. Hitherto the seller has been alone made responsible, but this Ontario measure now includes the purchashers and thinkers as well. Those who participate in the violation of the Crooks Act by drinking during un- lawful hours, and on Sunday, may now take warning. Chris.Diokson,Clinton CI.tx'roN. JCNE 15, 1SS1).
