FIRST CLASS CERTIFIeATES.-Out
of -12- wire wrote at Clinton for non-
professional first class teachers' certifi-
cates, Grade C:, the following were
successful :—J. Barr, L. Latimer, A.
Robertson, G. Shortreed. There ap-
pears to have been very (,eneral
"plucking" all over the Province, as
the number who have passed in any
dict;ict is very small,.
GONE WEsl'.—Mr Geo.Southcombe
left last Friday,tor Rat Portage,where
with Mr C. C. Rance, they commence
a gent's furnishing business. Mr
Rance'is detained here owing to the
illness of his child. The boys are
well able to attend to the wants of the
people in their line. George has a
valid excuse for coming back occasion-
ally, and in the meantime will hum
that popular ballad, ' ' The one I left
behind me."
INFECTION.—A case showing how
careful people should be to avoid the
spread of disease, even in animals,was
brought to our attention the other
day. A gentlemen in town bought a
load of hay, which was delivered at
his barn. The horses attached to the
hay waggon were suffering from in-
fluenza, and a horse belonging to the
townsman, • stabled a• short distance
away from where the hay was being
delivered, caught the ailment and
hes since been quite sick.
DON'T M1X' YOUR BARLEY, —A
well known grain buyer. says.—" You
should caution the farmers against
mixing their old barley with the new
Many farmers in the west have old
barley on hand and they may be
thoughtless enoughto mix it with the
new product; but if they do they will.
make a serious mistake. The mixture
will not malt and therefore will not
find a market.' American grain buy-
ers detect the mixture at once and re-
ject it and the local buyers will be
compelled to do the same."
RETURNED.—Messre J. C. Detlor
and R. Irwin are the last of gar
"western tourists" to return, they
-having just got back from a trip as
far as "the jumping offplace"—Van-
couver, B. C. They enjoyed the trip
and scenery through the Rockies im-
mensely,saying they"kuow of nothing
to equal it anywhere. Vancouver
they found a lively, bustling young
city, but in their opinion business is
as much overdone there as in the east.
Victoria impressed them more favor-
ably than .Vancouver. They also
visited recommend Seattle, in Wash-
ington Territory, and we understand
that both were glad to get back to the
quieter but just as prosperous town
of Clinton. Mr Irwin made a slight
detour on his return in order to visit
bis son in St. Louis. •
SCHOOL BOARD -MEETING, — A
meeting of the Public School Board
was held on Monday evening. After
the passing of a few, accounts the
question of appointing a caretaker
came up, and led to considerable dis-
cussion, but was not settled. ' There
were nine applicants for the position,
salary asked for ranging from $220 to
$250. These applications were sifted
down to two—Messrs Cooper and
Bentley. A motion was made that
the former be appointed, but this re-
sulted in a tie vote, an amendment
that Mr Bentley be appointed, result-
ed likewise. Here was a deadlock.
The regulations governing the actions
of school boards provides that when
there is an equality of votes on any
motion, the same shall be considered
negatived, but it does not specify
what shall be done in case of an
amendment, and so the matter stands.
Another meeting of the board will be
held to -night, when it is likely the,
matter will be decided.
TooK TIME BY THE FoRErocK,—
The other day a lady who resided not.
far from Clinton, but who was well
known here, issued invitations to her
wedding that was to take place on
the 7th of Aug. For convenience we
shall call the groom Mr- White, and
his place of residence the State of
Ohio. Alter the invitations had been
issued, the expectant bride received
word from another lady in Ontario,
saying that Mr White was also en-
gaged to her, and she would be on
hand on the 7th to put a stop to the
contemplated proceedings. Conster-
nation, of course, followed, but the
would-be groom was evidently able to
give a satisfactory account of himself,
A second letter was received from the
first lady in the ease, intimating her
determination to be present, so the
lovers determined to take time by the
forelock and anticipated her objection
to the wedding by getting married on
the evening of the fish --the night be-
fore the time specified in the invita-
tions—and departing for the States
at once. Next day when the guests,
all smiles and good wishes, arrived at
the house to participate in the sup-
posed festivities of the day, they were
met by the bride's mother in tears,
who informed them, and the lady
who was going to "stop the show," of
the true state of affairs, and all had to
depart without enjoying the festivities
incident to such occasions.
NEW YORK EXCURSION. — Mr
VanEvery, of Toronto, announces his
54th excursion to New York, for the
31st of Aug. The round trip from
Toronto only costs $11, and tickets
are good for nine days. The Toronto
press speak very highly of these popu-
lar excursions, as every comfort and
convenience is provided.
ENJOYING.. TUE LASE BREEZE.—
The people of Brussels; Winghaw
and other northern points, to , the
number of about ten hundred, had
an excursion to Goderich 'on Tuesday.
They were in two trains, and occu-
pied 16 cars, passing through Clinton
on the return trip at about 7.p.m.
A G000 TEAM,—The horses that
daily do service in the Commercial
bus are as lively as three-year olds,
and very few who see them race up
and down would think that they are
in the neighborhood of twenty years
old. Considering the work they have
to do, they are an exceptionally good
team: Mr A. Couch has also a little
horse that is worthy of mention, it
having been constantly in service as
a butcher's horse for about fifteen
years, and there is more "go" in it
than in mauy much younger.
GARDEN PARTY,—After the festivi-
ties in connection with the marriage
of Miss Depew, on Thursday of last
week, a large gathering of young
people from Clinton, Goderich and
Seafortb, enjoyed the hours from 8 p.
m. till 10 o'clock at the residence of
Mr W. Doherty. The Organ Band
played on the lawn, which was bril-
liantly illuminated by variegated
lanterns, and viewed from a distance
Roses Cliffe presented a fine appear-
ance. The usual amusements, as
games, singing, promenading, etc.,
made the hours run merrily by, and
the company broke up expressing
their good a ishes to the host and
hostess for the pleasurable time spent.
THE BAPTIST CHURCH MATTERS.
—For some time past, it has been
more .or less known that a choir
trouble existed in the Baptist church.
In its course it generated other dis-
turbances, and the discipline of the
church was upset. Therefore, last
Monday evening two-thirds of the
membership with the pastor and the
most of the officers withdrew and
formed another church. What will
henceforth be known as The Second
Regular Baptist church of Clinton
was organized in Mr Wm. Cooper's
Hall, on Monday evening, the 19th
inst., with the Rev Mr Smith, Mode-
rator, and Mr E. L. Hill, (late of the
Collegiate),, as clerk. Twenty-three
persons were enrolled as members,
and the following officers were ap-
pointed, viz.:—Deacon, Alex. Osbal-
deston ; treasurer, Wm. Moffatt; clerk
pro tem, E. L. Hill ; janitor, John
Moffatt. The new church unites with
the church on the Base line in sup-
porting a minister. The Rev J. M.
Smith has been chosen to fill that
position. Sabbath services will be
couducted as usual morning and even-
ing, the Sabbath School meeting in
the morning, an hour before service.
Readers are referred to the adyertise
ments in this issue for particulars.
DONE UP SLICK,—It°seems that no
matter how many fakirs come along
and gather in the shekels by the
pocketful, there are always plenty of
people who are eager to bite the glit-
tering baits seductively held out by
the glib-tongued,colossal-cheeked,and
gorgeously -attired individuals. For
some time.'we have purposely taken
the trouble to "show up" the methods
'pursued by these street -vendors, just
to show the simplicity of their meth-
ods, but it seems the simpler the way
of reaching the pocket,the more there
are who can be gulled. On Tuesday
evening a four -horse carriage, con-
taining a representative Cowboy and
negro musician drove on the market
square, after a tour of the town had
been made, and the cowboy began to
extol the merits of a certain lotion he
bad for sale. When he began to give
back the purchase money, with a
small bonus added, the crowd became
wild in its anxiety to invest. Then
he increased the price,and also raised
the amount given back. The fellow
was clearly losing money at this stage
of the operation, but be knew well
enough what he was doing. People
who did not see to the end of the
transaction could not understand how
be could give away money as he ap-
peared to be doing. He distributed
about $5 in all, though his manner of
manipulation made it keen as if he
had distributed much more. After
the people had been worked up to the
proper pitch, a slumber of "gold"
watches were promised the purchasers
of the medicine,on certain conditions,
and somethingin the neighborhood
of one hundred disposed of at an ex-
ceedingly remuneratite price. f t wan
here the fakir got in what was known
as his "fine.work" and amply recoup-
ed himself for his generosity curlier
in the evening. He took the precau-
tion not to distribute them until the
very last thing, and when the eager
purchasers had received the coveted
articles they felt like going behind
the market and asking some one to
kick them. 'The watches would be
dear at 5 cents each. It was a pretty
rank sell, but'they deserved it, every
one of thein,.
