FIRST DEFEAT. — The Victoria Cricket club sustained its first defeat this season, at Exeter, last Thursday.

CousgezATEINSTITurE—The class es in the institute are likely to be th largest for many years.

The buildings will be lighted with the Electric Light, and the decorations will eclipse any- thing of the kind yet attempted here. BUSINEes CHLNOEs—Geo.

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,. Mr "Dick" Horton, late of towa,is now at Los Augelos, Cal. Mrs.R. D. Bayley, of Battle Creek, Mich., is home on a visit. Mr and Mrs J. T. Harland are visit- ing in Hamilton this week. Mr F. B. Sibley has gone on a visit to relatives at Minneapolia. Mr G. F.

Cantelon has so far recov- ered that she is now able to walk around. As the s,hools will re -open on Monday, the children are consequent- ly jubilant. " What's the time?" is the latest gag. Those who bought watches on Tuesday night can explain it. Master Fred Ross, (son of Mr Jas. Rose,) got his hand caught in a pulley the other day and it severely bruised. Mrs E. Corbett received word the other day of the death ot two of her cousins, who reside in Pelham, Wel- land Co. Oqr correspondents are not dead, but several of them appear to be Bleeping this week.
