Detlor & Co have introduced a new fea- ture into their business, viz, that of making each Friday.during the month -of November a SPECIAL BARGAIN DAY, and offering certain lines of Dry Goods at very close prices. Their large i announcement elsewhere gives further particulars, but a visit to their store will supply all the details. , Little Local Items. Mr Ogle Cooper is in town again for the present. W.

Gauley, of this place, -bas charge of 'a blacksmith shop in Us - borne at present. Miss Lizzie Graham has gone to Woodstock, on a visit to her sister, Mrs Blatchford.

INCORRECT.—Two weeks since, in our report of the Division Court pro- ceedings, in the case of Tipling vs. 'Cole, it was stated that the judge gave decision in favor of the deft., with all costa. This was incorrect, as the judge bas not yet rendered his decision. GONE.—This, from a Kinburncor- respondent, will touch some Clinton- iane in a tender spot also :—Mr Wm. VanEgmond, who occupied the hotel here for some time, and who has since been working whore ho could get work to do, has gone to Michigan, and it is said that he does not intend to return. His family are still here. We believe both our merchants and several others have remembrances of him in their ledgers. GIVE HALL' ROAD,—A good many people act ugly when driving on the road, and think it is not necessary for them to give half -way in passing other vehicles, but if they go to law about it will find themselves mistak- en. Information was last week laid by a townsman against a party for refusing to allow him to pass, and after the costs had been run up in the neighborhood of five dollars, the fel low settled it without trial. COLLEGIATE LITERARY SOCIETY— On Monday, the 11th inst., a very enthusiastic meeting was held in the spacious assembly 'room of the Col- legiate Institute, for the purpose of re -organising the Literary Club. The following is.a result of the elections held, which were very keen :—Hon. Pres., James Turnbull, I3.A. Hon. Members, Miss McArthur, Mr Perry, 13. A., Mr Robb, Mr Giffin, B. A. Pres„ Mr Bowering; 1st Vice Pres„ Miss Frazer; 2nd Vice Pres., Miss Weir; Sec., J. P. Doherty; Treas., 0. Stanbury; Committee, Miss 117urch, Mr Styles, Mr Hunter ; Editor, Mr Hartley ; Organist, Bliss McLean ; Critic, li$rGiffiu• The dlub has start- ed under auspicious circumstances, and promises to be a splendid treat. It is intended to hold meetings once a week, to which their friends are cordially invited to attend. The first public meeting will be held on Tues- day next, at 9:15 p.m., at which the following programme will bo given : Selection, Glee Club ; Recitation, Miss Murch ; Editor's Selections, Mr . Hartley ; Duet, Misses McLean and Curtis ; Reading, Mr Styles ; Debate, "Resolved that Country Life is more conductive to Morality than City Life," Affirmative, Messrs Jones and Mathers ; Negative, Messrs Sloan and Harrison; Reading, Mies Holmee; Selection, Glee Club. A PECULIAR CASE,—There has come to light lately a rather peculiar and interesting,case w•hicii is likely to find its way into the Courts. Some- time in October of the year 1887 a young woman, who, at the time own- ed and still owns an undivided one third share in one hundred acres in the township of Stanley, called at the office of a solicitor in the county, add wished to borrow the stim of two hun- dred dollars and, according to the l young woman's statement she was in- duced to sign a declaration to the ef- fect that she was the owner 'of such interest and that she was of the free age of twenty one yeare,and was told that she would have to call another , day to complete thetransaction. She further says that she did call as re• quested but did not again see the so- licitor and never got the loan from him, and heard nothing more in re- gard to the matter until some weeks ago,when she received a letter from a business man of Seaforth, giving not- ice that a mortgage dated 8th Oct., 1887, made by her mortgaging her interest in bar land in Stanley, for $200 had fallen due and must be paid with accrued interest. The party stoutly maintained that she never signed any mortgage or received any money an rthat the e. On was investiga- tion it appears� g., made out to a gentleman without his knowledge or consent,and when asked foran adhatce hoof was funds acquaintedeta stating with the mortgage ; thereupon an as- signment was made from this gentle- man to a lady of Seaforth, for whom the solicitor was doing business and hold funds, and bad it executed by the original mortgagee, who we be- lieve states that he was under the im- pression that it was a discharge which he signed, An element of complicat- tion lies in thon the mortgage, ut in- teresiawas paid it appears that the payment was made by thesolicitcr without the knowledge of the party for whom he professed to pay it,who aylso t ofs t aiat ehe ny sum toover tle made anyy payment solicitor. Mr Aubrey, of Montreal, purchased about a dozen horses in this neighbor- hood last week. Miss Wilson, artist, has been called to her home at Atherton, by the seri- The sacramental services in Ontar'o one illness of her brother.

All the former offi- cers were also re-elected. rented a house in town, and will re- main here for the winter, W. Doherty & Co are negotiating for the sale of 700 of their unequalled, unapproached organs for Australia. Mrs R. and Mrs Jas. Patterson and family removed to Woodstock yester- day, where their husbands are employ- ed. Mr W. S. Treleaven, who has been attending the Collegiate, has been compelled to go home, owing to ill - health. It is rumored that a Sarnia lady will take up her residence in Clinton in a few days, as the wife of a popu- lar young widower. Messrs Cooper & Logan are fixing up the prernisee next to Couch's butcher shop, preparatory to occupy- ing them as a grocery store. A neat verandah l.as been added to the rests epee of Dr Reeve, by Mr W. Cooper. A smaller •one is also being built for Mr John Scott, Mary street. Mr Boyd, of Seaforth, has bought out the baking business of Mr King, and will conduct the,same. For the present Mr King will remain with him, Mr Keys has added poultry killing and dressing to his branches of busi- nese, being now engaged in shipping dressed geese, which are prepared in his premises. Mr Oliver Johnston had on exhi- bition for a couple of days a curiosity in the shape of a buff -colored mouse, with pink eyes, that had been caught while ruuning at large. Mr P. J. Loizeaux,Evangelist from New York, will preach this evening in the meeting room, Perrin's Block, at 7.80 p. m. and on Sunday next at 3 and 7 p. m. All are cordially in- vited. It is said that the example of one of the West Huron License Commis- sioners, referred to under the mar- riage head, will be followed by the good looking Inspector for the same district. We noticed the other day a fine secretary -bookcase being taken to Kippen, to Mr Robert McMordie's, from J. C. Stevenson's furniture em- porium. Clinton dealers, in any line, always have the best. - Otfi blacksmiths, however much they may feel disposed at times to become weary of their arduous and grimy employment, can always find some consolation in the fact that iu it they have a shoer thing. Mr Calvin Callander, who has been practising as a veterinary in a West Virginia city, recently came home to recruit, having had a severe attack of typhoid fever. He has now about fully 'recovered, and expects to resume his businese at an early day. What is tc, prevent the business men of Clinton forming a " Business Men's Association" for mutual aid, such as exists in other places. A meeting should be called, and an as- sociation formed without delay. Mr Manning struck a "long felt want" when, at the Cricketers' con- cert the other night, he said that "one thing they needed in this town was a recreation ground," and the rafters of the hall rang with the ap- plause that endorsed the sentiment. Mr W. Muir, of the Clinton Foun- dry, who recently spent several weeks in different parts of Manitoba, says that he found a great many farmers who were very much discouraged by the repeated failures of crops, and whose future was by po means bright. In the neighborheod of Portage la Prairie the crops had been good, but almost all elsewhere a total failure, New Fta:cr,—The business hereto- fore conducted by Mr S. Davis has undergone a change, Mr R. Rowland, well and favorably known to our read- ers, having been admitted as a part- ner, and the busiuess will hereafter be transacted uhder the name of Davis & Rowland. CRICKETERS' CONCERT. — There could not very well have been a much larger audience at the concert last Thursday evening, as th'e hall was full. The platform was neatly decor- ated, and Mr A. 11. Manning acted as chairman. The march and chorus by ,tile cricket boys, and a similar piece by the "Dude Brigade," carried the audience; the first was good, with- out being laughable; the second was an extravagant burlesque, and was highly amusing. The orchestra, un- der Mr Charlie Stewart's leadership, furnished several good selections; Mr Belcher, of Goderich, sang a couple of songs., and created a very favorable impression, one in particular being exceptionally well given; this was his first appearance here, and he will be welcomed back at any time, Mr Shane was unavoidably absent, Miss Walker and Mr Marland gave a duet, as did also Mies E, Rumball and Mr Sibley. The Misses Rumball and Messrs Sibley and Holloway sang a quartette, and so also did Mies Walk- er and Messrs Harland, Walton and Foster. A cornet solo, by Mr Shear- er, solo by Mr will Harland, and string quartette by Messrs Shearer, Cools, Emmetton and Ballard con- stituted the programme, which wee very heartily encored. There was a little too much time allowed between parts, but beyond this the programme was well executed. The "boys" ex- pressed their gratitude to the public for their liberal patronage, and to the singers and all those who took part. The club, considering the way in which sporting matters aro sometimes run, has done well to keep itself en• tirely free from the ol+,jectionable fea- tures, and is in good' -hare for work next season. At a recent meetiug of the quarter- ly board of Wesley Church, Hamil- ton, it was decided to invite Rev Dr. Donald 0. Sutherland to he the church's next pastor. Dr. Suther- land, formerly of Rattenbury street, Clinton, i- now pastor of Eim street church, Toronto. The Presbyterian Sabbath School of this place gave an entertainment in the town hall, last (Thursday) ever - ing, 14th inst. Mr Sallows, of Gode- rich, had been engaged to give his exhibition of interesting and instruc- tive views of the Holy Land, includ- ing scenes in the life of Christ. An entertainment, consisting co music, readings, etc., will be given in St. Paul's school house, on this (Friday) evening, commencing at 8 p. m. Among the attractions will be a piece of the celebrated "Gobelin Tapestry." This is something ex- ceedingly rare, and will be worth seeing; at the Centeninial only three pieces were on exhibition. At a committee meeting of the Clinton Branch Bible Society it was decided' to have the collectors do their work this month, instead of later on, as in the past, which will be better than in the winter time for the ladies to get around. The Society has de- cided to use its own local talent at the next annual meeting. Rev Jas, Livingstone's lecture on "The Human Voice" came next on the programme. It would be impos- sible to attempt anything like a re- port of it. For over an hour the rev, gentleman entertained and delighted the audience with his imitations of Rev T. DeWitt Talmage, Josh Bill- ings and others. Mr Livingstone has evidently devoted a great deal of time and attention to the cultivation of his voice.—Wingham Times. The sacramental service of Ratten- bury st. Methodist church:wee largely attended on Sunday last; the lecture room was more than fillled on the occasion of the love -feast ; and the divine presence was graciously man- ifested. At the official board meet- ing a resolution was unaniminously passed, agreeing to co-operate with Ontario et. in carrying on special services. This was rrnveyed to the board of Ontario at. and a cordial resolution expressive of reciprocal feelings and heartilyendorsing union services, was passed by that board. Alone LIGI-rr.—We understand that at a meeting of the Property Commit- tee of the Town Council, last Friday, it was decided to remove the street lamps not required but still standing in the centre of the town, to dark parts of the town, and supply them with oil, if residents of the locality will attend to lighting and extinguish- ing them, DIED FROM HIS INJURIES, — A young man named David Donohue, step -eon of Mr R. Gagen, in town, who was employed as a switchman in the G. T. R. yards, Port Huron, was so badly injured by a car, on the let inst., that he died the following Mon- day- His remains were taken to Goderich for interment, eighteen rail- road employes and friends of deceased showing their sympathy by accom- panying the remains. GooD PROSPECTS.—The fine wea- ther 'this fall has given ample oppor- tunity to farmers to get all their crops harvested in good condition, and to perform all other farm operations well. There has been a great amount of fall plowing done, and a good start has been had in preparation for next spring's work. The late rains came in the nick of time•for the streams and a water supply, and for pushing forward the growth of late sown wheat. The second entertainment of the course in behalf of the Mechanics' Institute will be given in the town hall, on Thusday, the 2lst inst. Mr Stoneman, -os Hamilton, will give a few humorous and interesting recita- tions, Mies H. Combe will give some choice pieces on rtli8o, and songs between recitations will be rendered by'Miss Hearn, Mr Walton and oth- ers, well qualified amateurs, who have kindly consented to assist in this en-, tertainment for the benefit of a free library and an educational institution. A silver collection at the door. JUST A Boositso.—We mentioned last week, that the large number of 185 of the celebrated Doherty Organs were turned out during the month of October, and wrote in our copy to the printers that this was at the rate of over two thousand annually, but with a substitution that was annoying, our types made it read "fifteen hundred," now any one could see at a glance that 185 multiplied by 12, made con- eiderably over "fifteen hundred," so that an injustice to the extent of 700 organs was done the factory. Even this large number does not meet the demand, which is the best evidence of their porularity. DEATH OF MILS BAY. -- Another old resident passed away on Tuesday, in the person of Mre Bay, relict of the late Andrew Bay, who will be remembered as having for many years filled the position of County Surveyor, She has only been confined to her room for a comparatively short time, though she has not been strong for years, She leaves a son and three unmarried datighters, Mrs Weather - sten, of Detroit, also being a daugh- ter. She was a woman of excellent qualities, and retiring disposition.— I'or years she was a communicant in tie Episcopal Church, ;but latterly had been a member of the Methodist, ori't Delay!
