PARTY.—A crowd of young people drove^to Goderieh on Thursday even- ing last, and enjoyed a Halloween party at the house of a prominent resident there. They must have had a "high time" es daylight was almost breakiug when they got home. HALLOWEEN ROWDIES.—We did think the youths of this town had more sense ,than to go around de- stroying property on Hallow'en, VIA it seems that they have not ; as they did considerable damage on Thurs-• day night last. Heauy fines by the mayor would haveea salutatry effect and put an end to this sort of deviltry. CONCERNING EDITORS.—Mr Geo. Moir has ceased to edit the St. Mary's Journal-.

Harland Bros. change of advertise- ment received too late for this week, Dr. McDonald, M.P. for East Hu- ron, was a transient visitor to town on Monday. Messrs George and Juba Tedford were called away a few days since, by the death of their father: Mrs E. Holmes,,whq has been here for three weeks; returned to St. Catharines on Tuesday. The engine has been replaced in Doan's tannery and will soon be running again as usual. Mrs Thompson (mother of Mr Jas Thompson) has gone to live with a msmber of her family at,Ripley. The Oakes' Organ Company have got moved into their new premises, and are getting things into shape. Ms John Steep, whohas been in Wiunipeg for some time, has returned to town, accompanied by Mrs Eaton. S. P. Aropianski, of this to.vn, was the successful plaintiff for wages, at Brussels, last week. He recovered S17. A freight car ran off the track near the station, on Monday, but no harm was done, and it was replaced after some labor. Mr Will lIcKowen lost the end of one of his fingers the other day,while working at a band saw in the Doherty organ factory. Mr Joseph Tuck, of Londesboro, left on Monday for the old country, via the Allen Liue, securing •passage from A. 0. Pattison.

Mr Henry Graham, who has been visiting in town for some time, has bought a farm in Sanilac county, Mich.,and removed thereto, on. Thur. day. One of our young business men will next week enter the hoTy'bonds of matrimony, and settle down to the realities and duties of life. Good boy, Jim. DISCONTINUE'!).—The ringing of the town bell at 7 p,m. has been dis- continued for the present, by order 'of the Mayor. It was thought that as no good purpose was served, outside of being a convenience to the busi- ness men, it rnight just as well be discontinued, and we do not think there are many who will disagree with this view of it. It might just as well be discontinued on Saturday evening at 9 o'clock. Rub LN(f.—During the past month the large number of one hundred and eighty-five of the far -fumed Doherty Organa were turued out at the Doherty Organ factory here, and still they were not able to supply the demand. This represents an annual output of nearly fiftc ea hundred. Many of these were of the large, pedal bass, double bank, rnanuel organ. . APPOINT:1IEN'r.—S. Smith, who has been engaged in R. M. Robinson's foundry, Wingham, for many years, has secured a situation as foreman in the finishing department of the Cen- tral Prison, Toronto, at a salary of $1,200 a year, and will 'remove from Wingham in the couree of a few weeks. Both Mr and Mrs Smith wil be greatly missed in musical circles •in that town, especially in the Metho- dist church choir, of which„AIr,Smith is leader, and Mrs • Smith organist. Mr Smith is a cur.sin of Miss Bate Rowell, Clinton. THE WEATHER.—The weather for the past month has been simply de- lightful, and farmers have had a splendid chance to get in their root crop. Still there are a good many yet in the ground, and we suppose that nothing but a snowstorm and heavy frost will lead to their removal. Why farmers so often prefer dirty weather to clean, in which to gather their roots, is a mystery to most peo- ple, as the growth at this season is yery trifling. The recent rains have been very acceptable to all classes of the, community, NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.— Commencing with the 1st inst., pack- ages containing mailable liquids, fat- ty substances, confections and pastes will be admitted to the mails ex- changed between Canada and the United States, provided they are put up in the manner prescribed for such articles to entitle them to transmis- sion in tho domestic mails of the country in which the articles are mailed, and the full rate of postage prepaid as prescribed in the country which they are mailed. Mr John Lasham, of Londesboro, has been in town for several days, helping in the valuation of the Grand Union furniture, consegnent on the charge of owners. The lady who was known to Clin- tonians as Mrs II. J. Whitely will hereafter be recognized under the name of Mrs Edwards, and has taken up her residence in Woodstock. CONCERT.—Judging rrom the pro- gramme of the Cricketers' Concert on the evening of Thanksgii+ingDay, an enjoyable time will be spent, .and as the price of admission is small no one should fail to attend. Among the many artists of the evening we notice the names of the Misses Rumball, 1Valker, Mrs T. Jackson, Mr Sibley, Harland and Holloway. Mr Belcher, of Goderieh, and Mr Shane, of Blyth, will also take part. The Instrumen- tal part of the programme is well pro- -vided for by the Beethoven Orchestra, under the leadership of Mr Stewart, and The String Quartette under Mr Shearer's direction.

Gardiner,who is manager of the Diamond Medicine Co , wasarrested in Exeter, by De- tective Wesley Webb, of London, last week, for practising medicine while in Clinton, in contravention,of the Ontario Medical Act. He plead- ed guilty before John P. Clarke, J.P., and waa fined $50. Detective Webb will be getting disliked among the quack fraternity.

WILL SOFTEN HIS FALL._Tt- is said that the East Huron Conserva- tive A=sociation, at their meeting last week, when Mr Musgrove was nomi- nated,"found it hard work to get any one willing to be sacrificed, but they thought it would look too bad to al- low it to go by default, and Mr Mus- grove was persuaded toaccept it on being guaranteed his expenses and two months' salary while conducting th_e, camps rgn.._ This is, perhaps, no more than fair, and it Will 'help to break his fall. TowN COUNCIL.—Regular meeting of the town council was held on Mon- day evening. The Finance Commit- tee recommended payment of the fol- lowing accounts :—G. Tedford, $100; W. Coats, $50; J. Rider, $9; S. Pratt, $18:75; all on-salaries;.John Jackson, rent of room, $9; S. Davis, sundries, $6.82; H, Tewsley, meat for charity, $5.26; J. Tedford, work, $34; G.

Re- ceipts of scales for October, $19.50; of town hall, statute labor, etc., $49. Report adopted. This closed all the actual business of the council. DEATH OF MR MASON.—It will not be a matter of surprise though one of regret to our readers to learn of the death of Mr Charles Mason, one of the pioneers of this section, and a most highly respected resident of the town, for his death has been expected for several weeks past. Up to about a year ago he was one of the health- iest of men, hardly knowing what sickness was, but since that time he has been suffering from some derange- ment of the stomach which prevented his taking and retaining proper nour- ishment and for some weeks past he has taken nothing but ii little water; that being his only sustenance.

Mr Giffin, B.A., occupied the chair very acceptably. The sub- ject for discussion was, Resolved " that the loss of hearing is a greater calamity than the loss of sight." For the affnmative wore Messrs Hartley and Bunter, and Messrs Bowering and Ross upheld the negative, In opening, Mr Hartley brought the question to every day experiences, and made a very lively and interest- ing speech, advancing the following arguments: That the ear is ever dutiful and untiring, more so'than the eye, alert, the ear is more to be relied on than the eye. Mr Bower- ing,. after beating back several thrusts from the affrrmatibe," entered very eloquently on his able speech,making as his chief point that the walls of darkness which continually imprison- ed the blind, make it the greatest calamity. Mr Hunter followed on the affirmative, and pointed out the influence of what is heard, such as ni'i ic, etc., on character and happi- ness, as compared with the benefits of eight. Mr Moss was tLe last speaker 'for the negative, and though feeling s eeewhat nervous, made a strong de- fence of the eye.
