himself from public gaze among a lot
of trees that lined the street. Pre-
sently a lady came along whom he
supposed to be the one he was wait-
ing for, and passing bis arm around
her waist he coyly said, "You are
late to -night, I thought you were
never coming." Half a second later
he realized that it was not thelady
he was waiting for at all. Taleau.

leading Colleges and Conservatives of
music, not only on this continent, but
also in England, France and Germany.
\1r William Sherwood., one of the lead-
ing teachers'and pianists of New York
says: "it will cause thinking teachers
and students to follow out a new train
of thought," and he says 'also, "1 find
that sines using the Technicon I can
teach and practice to better advantage."
Mr Albert Parsons, also of New Yotk,
says: "In the Technicon science and
art join hands,". Teresa Carrena, "The
best invention ever produced for . piano
players. The Technicon is used by
Joseffy, 'Wm. 11. Sherwood,' Albert
Parsons and many others amongst the
leading teachers and pianists of the

TO BUSINESS MEN:—The
Huron -Central Exhibition
takes place in the month of
September, and is likely to be
attended by a large crowd.—
You will want some printing
matter therefor. Order it as
early as possible, and thus avoid
the rush that always occurs at
Fair time.
A CLINTON[AN HONORED. We
bear that the Trinity Historical So-
ciety, of Dallas, Texas, have conferr-
ed the honor on Miss C. H. Mount -
castle, of this town, of unanimously
electing her as a member of the. So.
ciety. Miss Mountcastle's many
friends hereabouts will he pleased to
hear of this mark of distinction,which
displays true appreciation of merit.
LEG BROKEN.—On Tuesday, Mr
W. W. Ferran sustained quite a loss
by the death of a valuable colt. It
had been running in a field with other
horses,but got its leg broken by a
kick. Dr Blackall was called in and
found the injury, to be a bad com-
pound fracture, so nothing could be
done but to end the colt's existence.
It was a very promising one, being
sired by the famous horse, Thorne -
wood.
TILE MAKING.—Tom East, of the
brickyard,bound to meet the demands
that may be made upon him, has
purchased machinery and gone into
the manufacture of draining tile.
This is an industry for which there
has long been a good opening here,
and no better man than "old Tom
East" could be found for the under-
taking. It will not interfere in the
least with the brickmaking. Those
who want draining tile will now be
able to get it near home.
Ings, Howson made 19, Stanbury 15,
Kennedy 10, and Doherty 10, and in
the- becond 13odkens,' by beautiful
cricket,, put together 19 runs. The
best bowling for Forest was done by
Maylor, and for Clinton Chidley and
Koello bowled splendidly. Stan-
bury's 0 bit was the longest made on
the grounds this year. It might be
mentioned that the Victorias played
one senio=K
GOING UPWARD.—We mentioned
•a couple of weeks ago that Mr Will
H. Thomas, who had been visiting
friends here, was suddenly called to
Omaha by a telegram from his em-
ployers. Tbe following note explains
it, and Will's many friends hare will
be glad to learn Obis advancement :
" The telegram I received just before
leaving Clinton, turned out to .be a
very pleasant surprise to me. Im-
inediately on my return I was called
in the office, and the. surprise was
then presented to me; Mr Thomas
Kilpatrick, (who is the leading mem-
ber of the firm,also general manager,)
has decided to retire from active busi-
ness life, and Mr R. Cowell, the as
sistant manager, and buyer of the
dress goods, silks, linens, etc., is to
fill Mr Kilpatrick's place,while I have
been awarded Mr Cowell's position,
which will necessitate my going to
New York four times a year. Mr
Kilpatrick assured me,that if I would
be as attentive to my business in the
future as I had been in the past, I
would give every satisfaction."
THE CONTINUED DROUGHT, —
There has been over eight weeks of
continued dry weather in this district,
and everything has suffered,especially
the root crops and pastures. In
several places within the last week
the springs and creeks have gone dry,
and surface a +ells have given out.
At the best the majority of farmers
are inadequately provided to stand
even a short season of drought, but
when seven and eight weeks intervene
without rain the best are put in,
straits. Tbe recurrence of this periodi-
cal dry spell at this season of the
year should spnr on people in the
country to make better provision for
having an adequate water supply. It
is quite possible with a moderate
outlay to store sufficient water to tide
over this scarcity. Tanks or reser-
voirs of sufficient capacity should be
in the vicinity of every barnyard so
that they could be resorted to in case
of emergency like the present. It is
quite within the range of possibility
that besides having enough water for
stock sufficient could be had to irri-
gate perishing•root crops by means of
a watering cart. A large area of land
could be gone over in a short apace of
time, and a cart could be ()slily and
cheaply constructed. When it is
'considered that in California all their
crops nearly are raised by irrigation
it is surely in order to try it here
during one of those long -continued
,.heated terms. Stock, owing to the
short, burned up pastures and lack of
. sufficient water, have gone behind.
Beef cattle are in poor condition and
milch cows have shrunk fully 50 per
cent. in their milk. All these are
...heavy losses to the farmers,especially
id the cheese factory sections. On
clayey soils it is impossible to do any
plowing for the wheat crop, and this
work is being seriously retarded, and
utilise rain comes soon the land will
not be in a fit condition for the aced
until the middle of September.
Nothing short of a steady rain for
twenty -fair hours will penetrate the
' burned and hardened soil.

THE ILLUSTRATOR.—This is the

teachers and others. The last num-
ber contains a portrait of our towns-
man, Mr A. H, Manning, who is also
President of the County of Huron S.
S. Association, together with a short
biographical sketch. The Illustrator
is only 60 cebts•a year, and is really
a publication that should be in the
hands of every teacher.
"Sabbath Observance" was the
topic spoken to by Rev John Mordy,
of Niagara Falls, on Sunday last—in
Ontario St. church in the ;morning,
and Willis church in the evening.
He allowed the various ways in which
the Lord's day is openly desecrated,
more in other parts of Ontario than
this, and enjoined upon- his hearers
the necessity of a proper observance
of the day because its observance was
in harmony with divine will, and also
in accordance with human necessities.
We are pleased to know that Mr
John Armstrong, who went to Cali-

DCHERTY ORGANS IN PARIS.—
Through the influence of Mr W. W.
Clary, the European agent of W.,.
Doherty &, Co„ Organ Manufacturers,
Clinton, an agency for the sale of
these world-renowned instruments
has been established at Paris, France,
Some difficulty was at first expetienc;
ed becauke Canada, only being a
colonial dependency of Great Britain,
has no consul there, but the House in
which Mr Clary called' learning from
other sources of the great popularity
and high merit of the Doherty Organ,
gladly secured the agency, and now
the Parisians are in a position to
grace their parlors witn an instru-
ment that has made the name of
"Doherty & Co, Clinton, Canada,"
famous the world over,
l' :The sermons by J. W. Manning, of
Toronto, on Sunday, were delivered
with a clearness of thought and force
of expression not often witnessed in a
person of this gentleman's years. Al=
ways a very active man, mentally and
physically, that activity has develop-
ed with years, until he has come to
be recognized as one of the best plat-
form speakers in the Province, and
although he has long since retired
from the regular ministry,he bas very
little leisure time on Sunday, there
being so many calls upon his time
and talents.
