STREET ARABS AND SPOONEYS.—
While a commercial traveller, repre-
senting one of the Toronto houses,
and a young lady of this town, were
out driving the other day, a small
boy shouted after them, "Get on
to the spoons.tThe gentleman got
out to castigate the goy, and the
horse ran away and badly injured
the young Indy. The drummer
started after the fleeing steed, the
youth called after him, "Did you
ever get left 1" IIad he caught the
boy after, there would doubtless
have been wigs on the snow.
SUCH Is NEWSPAPER LIFE.—The
Lucan Enterprise has giver up the
ghost. The editor's valedictory
says :—"For four years we have
stood it, and now having arrived at.
a deep•rooted conclusion that as
newspaper publication the Enter -
pre is a financial failure, we decline
to longer scatter cash." The plant

newspaper, daily and weekly, were

tion under an order of court. Mr.
11. Guulrner, the present manager,
became the purchaser.. '
CONSCIENCE STRICKEN.—What the
particular cause of Hon, A. M. Ross'

say, but the reeonstructors of the
Provincial Cabinet are at it again,
and this time it is the Hon. A. M.
Ross, Piovincial Treasurer, who is
to retire, but not till after the next
election. It is stated that Mr. Ross
is tired of pablic life, and wants to
take a rest. With all his faults the
Hon. member for Nest Huron is
probably the most conscientious
member of the Mowat Ministry.

TiIE CLINTON FAILURE.—Aa mat
have beon noticed in our advertis
ing columns last week, the creditors
of Mr. R. M. Racey, hardware
merchant, met here last Wednes-
day and decided to wind up the
estate.•-. Mr. Forrester was continu-
ed as assignee and Messrs. Lawrence
of Lucknow and Ferran of Clinton
were appointed inspectors. The
liabilities are put at $40,000, the
assets at nominally, $15,000. The,
difficulties of the insolvent aro said
to have originated about. 20 years
nt of the inns
ago and arose o b a
u s�
carried on. by tT- B. Raley, .since do -
ceased, the settlement of which in-
volved R. M. Racey, to a large
amount on which he has been pay-
ing a high rate of interest all these
years. 1-Iaving outside expectations,
which were never realized, and al,
so relying upon the profits of his
business he hoped against hope only
getting deeper involved every year.
The worst feature of the failure is
that large amounts of borrowed
money ere owing to retired farmers,
in some 0a508 all they possessed,
,with little prospect of more than
fifteen cents on the dollar being
realized. It is alleged that these
sums last referred to were obtained
by fraudulent representations and
that proceedings will be taken
accordingly.
A WOMAN IN TIIE CASE. --A
young man named Marshall, of
Wingham. became mentally unbal
anted, it is said because his girl
"went back on him." Last Thurs-
day morning • Chief Pettypiece
arrested him after he had wandered
around town all night without any
clothing. Tho poor demented fel-
low had a pitchfork with which lie
threatened vengeance, but he was
placed in the lock-up, through the
window of which he dashed, with-
out, however, hurting himself. He
was taken to Codorich jail. While
waiting at the hotel at Clinton
station to change cars he became
very nervous, being under the im-
pression that he was being hunted
by a woman with a shotgun.

Sunday SC1SOOI Anniversary.
WilO'S Y011R HATTER ?
On Sunday last the Ontario St.
1'Lethodist church Sunday school
lield its anniversary service. It
was a happy thought that suggested
to the management to secure the
services of the Rev. J. H. Simpson
of Brucefield, than whom there is
no one bettor qualified to fill an
engagement of that kind. Mr.
Simpson is the young people's
ideal of a happy and earnest Chris-
tian, and his kiudly manner com-
bined with his large stock of good
comrllon sense make him an excel-
lent leader and instructor.
On Sunday morning the Rev.
gentleman addressed his remarks to
the children. in tho story of the two
boys—Cain and Abel. Ho drew
numerous lessons from their lives
Its recorded in saered writ and by
illustration and story kept the
attention of his little hearers.' The
church was filled with the SuudAy
scholars and their friends and all
appeared delighted with the service.
Under the manageiuent of Mr.
Oaks and Miss Walker the childrl)n
did themselves credit by their
singing of several pretty pieces
while the choir was on hand do
assist in tho same service.

Big Display for the Spring
In the afternoon there was a mase
meeting of children, officers and
teachers. Tho Superintendent pro -
sided and was assisted. in the exer-
cises by Mr. J. Scott, superintendent
of Willis Church S. S., Mr. Foster,
superintendent of the Rattenbury
street S. S., Mr. Manning and Rev.
J. H. Simpson. Mr. Simpson ad-
dressed his 'remarks first to the
teachers upon the two points—lst,
Know your lesson, and 2nd, Know
your scholars. Subsequently, ad-
dressing the children, ito chose the
story of Rhodda, which he need in
such a way as to retain the chil-
dren's attention and interest through-
out. The service was much enliv-
ened by the childron's vocal exer-
cises, which embodied many appro-
priate selections.
Tho evening service was a very
impressive ono. The church was
crowded and Mr. Simpson address-
ed his sermon to the young people
Hie discourse was free from the oft
repeated charges to young mon, and
had a freshness about it which at
once captured the listener and hold
attention. The sermon was replete
with good advice, forced home by
apt illustration and in a kindly
spirit. Such an address should be
printed and scattered near and far,
Tho choir of the church as it always
does, added to the enjoyment of the
service by its excellent singing and
wise choice.
Tho service in the whole was a
groat success. A large sum was con-
tributed for the purposes 'of the
Sunday School, Tho pastor, I'lov.
J. Edge, was present at tho morn-
ing service and in tho evening took
the. work of Mr. Simpson at Bruce -
field.

ANOTHER of those interesting
events which makes life worth
living took place in Clinton last
Wednesday, being the marriage of
Miss Electa Swarts to Mr. John
Spooner, both of town. Numerous
friends saw the happy couple off at
the station on their way to Hamilton
and other eastern points. We hav'u't
noticed the rice markets since, but
were we to judge from the amount.
distributed at the station on the
occasion we refer to, the price ought
to have gone up since. One itnag-
inative person declared that there
was "somewhat less than a ton"
used. '
A Goon MOVE.—Ald. Walsh gave
notice that he would at next meet-
ing of the Orangeville council tuove
a motion instructing the clerk to
add to the voters' .list an additional
column in which will bo placed
each voter's assessment. This is a
good move, inasmuch as valuations
are only comparative. Brown seeks
to have his assessment as low as 110
,can get it, because he bolioves.Jones
and Robinson have theirs as low as
they could got it irrespective •of
value. All three would be content
to bo assessed at figures approximat-
ing actual value. But each in the
absence of any knowledge of how
others are assessed feels bound in
self defence to figure as low as pos-
sible. The cost of the addition
asked for and the expense of a few
hundred extia copies of the lists
would not amount to much and
would afford ratepayers information
which they can now only get by
applying to the clerk, which' very
few do, but go along grutnblingand
groping in the dark. It might not
be amiss for the Clinton Council to
give this their serious consideration.
—The Cineinatti Express, which
came into Chicago ori the Louis-
ville, Now Alban) & Chicago Rail-
road Wednesday evening, brought
a badly -scared lot of passengers.
.Two hours before reaching Chicago
the train was fired upon by an un-
known man, who took deliberate
aim at the rear coach and sent two
loads of buckshot crashing through
tho windows. Several of the
passengers were slightly cut in the
hands and face by broken gins.,
and Mr, Tanner, of Chicago, found
a shot embedded in his scalp.
—An agecl lady, Mrs. Shellard,

—Mr. David Kirkwood, county,
clerk and clerk of Caledon; has had a
narrow escape from death by blood
poisoning. Mr. Kirkwood's illness
is ascribed to the dye (magenta anti
black)in his wet mitts, having en-
tered his syateru by a slight abrasure
left in his finger, producing blood
poisoning. His finger may have to
come off
—A rattler peculiar case came up
before' the police magistrate„ of
Ingersoll. A young man named
Frank Congden wascharged with the
forgery of orders, on which he got
quite a large quantity of goods. The
most peculiar part of the case is that
he cannot either read or write.
—The following cat story is told
by Mr. Peter Silver, of Oneida,
Ifaldimand county On Saturday
last a cat owned by John intone,
another Indian of the reserve, cane
down the chimney of Mr, Silver's
residence. The feline passed down
a 5 foot chimney, then through
tett feet of stovepipe containing two.
elbows, and emerged from the door
of a stove in which a fire was burn-
ing hriiekly. The cat was badly
scorched but will live.
—Mrs. John Campbell, of St.

Thomas, w with terrible acc.ul 1 t
on Wednesday evening. One of the •
legs came out of the kitchen stove,
and as she was attempting to replace
it the stove tumbled over, pinning
-her to the floor, and rendering her
unconscious. When she recovered
her senses the stove was still across
her body, which had been painfully
burned by the hot notal, Her arms
and legs were also frightfully scari-
fied and her tread badly injured.
She attempted to'overturn the stove,
hitt in her weal: condition was un-
able to do so, and remained pinioned
to the floor for ten or cloven hours,
lir until near coven o'clock next
mornipg, when a neighbor, who had
been alarmed by her cries, buret in
the door and rescued her. A. doctor
was summoned, and will endeavor
to save the patient, althou„ h She is
terribly injured.
