A GOOD COLT. —Mr Robt. Mason,
of the base line, weighed a 2 year old
filly, on Clinton scales, on Thursday,
that went 1370 lbs, and for which he
he refused the sum of $225; that is
the kind of stock to raise.
CHANGE.—Messrs Cuninghame &
McMurray have disposed of their
grocery business to Mr W. H. Simla.
son, who has taken charge thereof.
Mr Cuningilarne will still attend to
the express business. What Mr Mc-
Murray intends to do we have not
learned.
Ta RAn.—Although the atmos-
phere has been somewhat moist for
over a week, and considerable rain
bas fallen, the land is yet none too
pliable for easy working. Fall wheat
that hadheen put in prior to the rain
fall is looking Splendid, and a good
deal has been sown since. Warm
weather will do much to counteract
the effect of the drouth earlier in the
season.
DEATH OP A P RINTEH—We are
exceedingly sorry to announce the
death of Mr Robt. Todd,. foreman of
the Woodstock Standard, and brother
of Mr A. M. Todd, of the News -Re-
cord, which occurred on Saturday
last, after an illness more or less
evere for a year. Deceased was a
b ight, promising young man, aged
22 ears and had only been married a
littl over a year. His wife and child
survi him.

DEATH,—The death of 11
Kelly, on Friday afternoon,
. • surprise to most of our townsp
very few kne4 that he was in
• ing health. He hadheen a rest ent
of Clinton for sevcral years, and k t
hotel about all the time. He was fo
one year a member of the town coun-
cil, but otherwise took no active part
in public affairs. He leaves a wife
and two children. His remains were
• . interred in the R. C. cemetery, Hul-
lett, on Sunday.
CORRECTION. —In the burry inci-
dent to fair week a couple of errors
got into our account of the death of
Walter Davis, last week, the boy kill-
ed by a horse. He was not riding
one and leading another. The horse
he was riding threw him and caused
his death; and he was not the adopted
son of Mr Wise. This gentleman had
taken him from the Guthrie Home,to
bring up, but the boy was earning
wages the same as any other, and
could leave at any time if he elt so
disposed.
A-83rio FORTUNE.—It was men-
tioned some time ago that Mr Robt.
McMordie, and Mrs Montieth, of
Kippen, had fallen heir to a consid-
erable fortune by the death of a rela-
tive in the old ccuntry. The amount,
• . was not then known. We are in-
. . formed that Mr McMordie secures
£40,000, Mrs Montieth, £20,000, and'
a son £5,000. These are very nice be-
quests to receive and we are sure the
many friends of these persons feel
like congratulating them on their
fortune.
THE ELECTRIC L I.GHT. —The new
electric lights, distributed through
the town, were brought into use for
the first time, on Monday night. It
was raining heavily, and the atmos-
phere was very close, so that it was a
good opportunity of testing the effi-
cacy of the lights, and those who bad
occasion to be out, can testify to the
I lclearness and advantage them.
In any part of the town the streets
were comparatively light, and even
beneath heavy shade trees, the benefit
of the lights were clearly realized.
t
SCHOOL ELECTIONS. —At theregu-
lar meeting of the Public School
Board, on Monday evening, a reso-
lution was passed that the approach-
ing election of trustees be held at the
same time as that for councillors.
(The law now gives a school board
the option of doing this, hence the
action.) While there are some ob-
jections to both municipal arid school
elections being held on the same day,
we think the change will be a antis.
factory and acceptable one, At any
rate,if it is not found to work smooth-
ly, the old system can be reverted to
another time.
CONCERT. —We Understand that
Mr W. Doherty has been fortunate
enough to- secure the services of the
Chautauqua Orchestra Concert Co.,
of Toronto for a grand concert in the
Town Hall about the 3rd December
next. Through their manager, Mr
J. M. Depew, formerly of ibis place,
who has just paid us a visit. and in-
forms us that he is now making ar-
rangements for a series of concerts,
in the towns of Stratford, Mitchell,
Seaforth and Goderich. This com-
pany consists of an orchestra of 12
professionals, under the leadership of
Mr Arthur Depew. He is also pian,

Thornton, Clarinet Soloist, assisted
by an Elocutioniit and Vocal Solo-

in a few days. We wou'd advise all
who are fond of a rich musical treat,
to secure seats f ir th!s concert as soon
as the plan i4 opened as we know
that it certainly will b3 the concert
of the season.

•Mr W. Hill, (son of Mr Thos. Hill,
of the gravel road, Hullett,) has rent-
ed the Rance farm, near town, and
occupied by the late Adam Brydon.
He takes it for three years, at an an-
nual rental of $180, which is very
cheap for a 90 acre farm. He is a
steady, industrious young man, and if
he only gets some young lady to help
him look after the farm (which is al.
together likely) he should make
money.
The Parkhill Gazette says :—Mr
