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. DIsm sED. — Constable Tedford laid infor ation against W. McLean and A.M. olley, of Goderich,charg- ing therA wi. furious driving. The case came up •r trial on Monday,be- fore the Mayor, the defendants being Ir W. Proudfoot. it was assumed Id not be found it was deemed e charge was Michael was a ple,as clin- tkpresented by •.,Ar The by-law which they had violated, c when wanted, and as necessary to the case, dismissed. 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.

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 John A. Croll, (of Clinton,) brother- in-law of the editor, is at present soliciting subscriptions and collecting accounts for the Parkhill Gazette. We hope Mr Cron will not be lacerat- ed by your bull -dog or repulsed by the proverbial placard "small -pox herd' You will find him gentleman- ly, energetic and straightforwrd, and anxious to do good to yourself, to your borrowing neighbors and to the Gazette. The Hensall corespondent of the Expositor thus refers to a family that has taken up its residence on Ontario St., nearly opposite the Model School: 'Mr G.
