Rev. Dr. Hammond, brother of
Mrs Jas. Livingstone, dropped in to
see them this week, after a separation
of fifteen years. His home ie in
Melbourne, Australia, but he has
been in all parts of the world, and
starts shortly on a trip to South Am-
erica.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—An old
man named Wheatley (not the former
town ball rfnger)tried to out his throat
on Tuesday night, with a penknife.
He made a bad gash, but not enough
to affect his life, and the wound was
sewed up. It is said he was under
the influence of liquor at the time.
,Everybody will read the following
with deep regret :—Rev Dr. Williams;
General Superintendent of the Metho-
diet Church in Canada, has been very
ill for several weeks, and his family
and friends have given up all hopes
of bis recovery. Since this was in
type be bas taken a slight turn for
the better.
HOTEL CHANGE,—Mrs Tuffts has
+leased the Grand Union to a person
from Berlin, who takes possession
early in November. He buys the
furnishings of the house.
T' ROM CARIdERRY.—i1I`r A J, -Mc-
Phail; formerly in Fair's mill, Olin -
top, but for sometime employed with
the Manitoba Milling Co., Carberry,
writes as follows:—"Wheat;is coming
in good now, we get abotft three thou-
sand bushels per day, and there are
three other buyers in town. It is not
a big crop, but very good, for so dry
a season."
How IT is DONE --To build up a
town people must stick together like
brick dust to a bar of soap. There
must be no wrangling or quarreling
or jealousies among them. Property
owners in towns must offer induce-
ments to secure business ; must adver-
tise in the local papers, and must not
expect to make a fortune in a year or
two by establishing monopolies and
maintaiuingg exclusive privileges.
FARM P,ENTED.—rdrNicholasBut-
ler, eldest son of Mr ,John Butler, of
the 16th con. of Goderich township,
has rented the farm of Mr A. May,
on the Huron road, just outside of
town, Ile has taken it for five years,
at an annual rented ot 4350, which is
a good rent for a farm just over 100
cres: The place is in good shape,
with very little waste land. The
leaee is a steady, industrious young
man, and will likely get a young lady
from the 2nd con. of Hullett Co help
him look after the farm.
CRIMINAL STATISTICS. ---The offi-
cial returns of criminal statistics show
a commendable absence of the serious
crimes of murder, attempted murder,
etc., in the county of Huron, for the
year 1888. Under the heading of
"Assaults against the person" it shows
that two assaults were made upon
females, more than enough, certaiuly,
and yet few, considering the evil ten"
dency of human nature in this direc-
tion ; 2 cases of obstructing a peace
officer; only 1 of assault and battery;
burglary or having burglar's tools, 1 ;
4 cases of robbery, 1 case of horse,
cattle or sheep stealing ; 25 cases •of
larceny, 4 of false pretences, 1 of
arson, 1 of forgery, 1 of escape from
prison, 1 of felony, 4 of conspiracy.
The total number of, summary con-
victions and cases subject to trial by
jury, in the county, was 335 ; out of
the 3tJ "counties in Ontario there are
20 that have a lower number than
Huron.
THE DOMINION VOTERS' Lis'r,—
In the post office will be found a copy
of the Dominion Voters' List, for the
present year. In the following places
will be found a copy of the list in the
several wards in which they are post-
ed up :—St. Andrew's Ward—Town
Hall, Fair's Mill and Spooner's Ho-
tel. St. James' Ward --=Post Office,
Rattenbury Boise and Queen's Hotel,
.5t. Johu"s Ward—Grand Union,Com-
mercial Hotel and Rumbatl's carriage
shop. St. George's Ward ---Leslie's
carriage shop, Cook's store and Ken-
nedy's Hotel. Every person who
wants to make sure that they have a
vote at the Dominion elections,should
• inspect the list for themselves, in the
ward they reside in; and if their
name is not properly entered, make
complaint to any active member o
THE Games Ace.—W. J. Paisley,
Inspector, laid information against
Mr Flannigan,, of Kintail, for in-
fiingemen.t of the Crooks Act regula-
tions. The charge being sustained,
a fine of $20 and costs was imposed.
He also laid information against the
Ocean House, Goderich, for a similar
offence, but the charge not being
proven, was dismissed.
APPLES.—Apples here, which last
year were almost a drug on the mar-
ket, are moving towards famine prices,
owing to the loss of the crops by frost.
They are now quoted at $3 a barrel,
which only seems high because we
have beers accustomed to getting
thein SO inuch.lewex:.. We are, oLtha_
opinion that they wil3'be•higher than
this before the winter is over.
WEIGH SCALES.—Under direction
of Reeve A. McMurchie, Chairman
of the Property Committee, a new
foundation ' has been put below the
town weigh scales, and they have
been thoroughly overhauled -and_ree.
paired to that while still absolutely
and mathematically accurate, they
are not liable to get out of order. A
comfortable house has been erected
also, for the weigbmaster.
ACCIDENT.—Mr G. Hoflich, driver
of the Rattenbury House bus, met
with a peculiar accident the other
day. Be was driving the trunk dray,
the horse just on a walk. The ends
of the lines were trailing at the side,
andgot wound around the hub, sud-
denly pulling Hoflich off on the road,
and bruising him so that he has not
yet been able to attend to his custom-
ary duties, although he is able to be
around.

Mr D. McCuaig, timber dealer, put
a gang of men to work in Hullett this

The business men around the post
office square intend to place an elec-
tric light in the gore at their own
expense.

Mr John Govet took up over TO

The. Exeter Advocate says:—Mr F.
W ---Johnston lice been appointed
Junior Judge ot Algoma, with head
quarters at Sault Ste Marie,
Mr R. Fitzsimons and wife spent
several days last week visiting friends
in the vicinity of Arkona ; they drove

W. Doherty, Esq.," of the'_Deherty
Organ Co:,has just bought of Mr I3.
B. McKay, Wingham, his famous St.
Joe mare, at a good figure.
Snell Bros., the well known stock
breeders, sold all their lambs from
imported Shropshire sheep, and now

require for breeding.
The house just vacated by Mr
Lough, Ontario street, has been rent-
ed by an unman--ried young man, who
will shortly secure a well-known
young lady's assistance to help keep it.
SPLENDID OPENING.—As we have
before pointed out, no better opening
presents itself for the establishment
of a pork packing ineustrv, than
right here in this town, Wo bave
heard one man say he might go into
pork -packing this winter, but when
pressed to go into it, said he had not
capital enough. It is a business
there is money in, if judiciously man-
aged, dead we are surprised .that it has
not been undertaken here before this,
ADMTrs i'r..-Our cotem now admits
the truth of our statement that he ex-
pected to receive a government posi-
tion, but denies that he expected to
receive it ere this. 1Ve1l, we are- not
going to split hairs about that, for
the fact of the position he expected
to "get not being vacant did not pre-
vent several persons applying for it.
Tho statement was correct, that was
all we were trying to prove. It does
not convey any reflection that a per•
son should expect to receive farms at
the hands of the party he supports.
CONCERNING EXPLOSIVES.—So!ne
people have an idea that nitro-glycer-
ine is the moat powerlul explosive
known, but this is far from being the
cage, as it is only 13 times stronger
than gunpowder, and is a weak ex-
plosive compared with chloride of
nitrogen. A single drop of the latter,
no larger than "a pin bead, in explod-
ine, destroyed an eye and part of
both hands of the French chemist,
Dulong, who first prepared it, and in
view of these facts, it is no small
honor that. W. B. Hale, son of H.
Hale, Esq., of this town, was among
the first who succeeded in preparing
it in more than a single drop.
WEDDrNG.—The wedding announc-
ed last week, came off on Wednesday
at the house of Mr Wm, McKown,
when his youngest daughter Ida was
married to Mr Fred Bakes, of Wood-
stock. Rev. Jas. Livingstone,assist-
ed by his brother-in-law, Rev. Dr.
Hammond, of Melbourne, Australis,
performed the ceremony, the bride
was supported by her sister Minnie,
while Mr Eatons of Woodstock, took
the part of best man. Only a few
guests outside the immediate friends
of the family were present, and after
a wedding breakfast they left amid
showers of rice and good willies, for
their future home.
STOCK SALES-•tl0 • a number
' attended the pr;5, ,• • of 'ntnckern
the party, who will attend to the '
held by Mr ', n,,.Le
matter, All appeals must he soot to lull ors iaaturd;:y L' . and a good
Judge Doyle, before the ith of No n,acy cattle were ,li,l,oied of. The
auima'.s were Pimply sold at so much
per head, but a dealer who was pre-
sent estimated that the price paid
would be about 37i cents a pound live
weight, which is a good price. We
heard one farmer exprees the opinion
that next time a sale of this nature
was to take place, it would pay Mr
McLean, or whoever else might be
conducting it, to have it in some
more centrally situated spot than
Smi;h's Hill, as it is too much out of
the way.
CRICKET iN CLINTON—The people
of Clinton have reason to be proud of
their rising Junior Victoria Cricket
(Jllub, as their " record for 1889 will
show. They have played 6 games,
winninis 4, lost 1, drawn 1, the losing
one being with the Exeter Seniors,
when they did not have their regular
team, but hnd .given them a worse
defeat the first of the season. They
also had the satisfaction of defeating
the Paris club in Paris, with whom
they played the drawn game here.—
The lovers of good music should shotv

efit of the citizens,' we may therefore
expect a full house. " The Hon. Mr

of for a contribution of $100 to main•
tain the efficiency of the school with

doubtless respond with the same
generosity that they always have.
In Rattenbury street church, on
Sunday morning last, Rev Jos. Edge
preached an excellent sermon, full ot
original thoughts, and showing him
to be a close reasoner and deep stn -
dent of the Bible. I,n the evening
Rev Mr Cosens, of Seaforth, preached;
.we have before alluded to the fact
that he is a young man of unusual
promise, full of mental vigor, with a
splendid delivery and entire absence
of the vanity and assumption that is
too frequently noticeable with young
ministers. His sermon on Sunday
was entirely in keeping with this de-
lineation of his character.
Interesting and very largely -attend-
ed services were held at the Hannah'
street Methodist Church yesterday,
the occasion being the seventh •anni-'
versary of the church. The preacher
was Rev James Livingstone, of Clin-
ton, a gentleman of fine presence and
musical voice. His sermons were
eloquent and delivered with great
earnestness. The morning sermon
was a beautiful exposition of the pas-
sage under consideration. Thc even-
ing setmon wag listened to with, great
attention, and evidently made a fa-
voral,'-' impression on the iaage an

$1O Overcoats.
Ten dollars is not an extravagant figure to
pay for a good Overcoat, and if you want
to see the best value in this section, you
ought to come and examine this line. We
claim that there ie nct a stock of Overcoats
in the county to compare witia ours in the
way of out, work and value, and the best
evidence we can offer is the fact that we
have an enormous sale, and the public
must be credited with having some idea of
good value

Coat to do himself justice, must come and
see what we can do for him before invest.
