HELLO, Tom '—Dou't bo afraid
gentle reader that this is it telephone
chosnnt. It may be old but it's not
chosnutty. The telephone was in the
womb of the future of the main of
Edison at the time we write of. Its
about "old times," though. Seeing
Mr. T. J. P,Itwk of Oregon in God-
erioh the other (1,23 brought to Mind
the only -time we saw him iu Cali-
fornia, or rather what is now the
'state of Nevada. In 1871 the wri-
ter scaled the Sierras from the west-
ern slope and found himself on the
crest of the mountains about Gold
Hill. and Virgini,r city, where aro
the famous Colnttook and other
silver lodes which made 13ouauza
Kings of Floo(1, Mackay and
O'Brien. The Wind sweeps terl,fbly
at times from the crest of the moun-
tain'ou the Sid(' of which is Virginia
city, then a mere mining camp of
one or two thunsen(l canvas Houses
and tents, now a solidly built city
of probably 40,0011 people. One
morning wo were going' down the
incline toward 'Virginia city, taken
up aod•ewhat with thoughts of
elusive fortune, and the desolation
of miner's outfits, Contents of Jew
shops, saloons, restaurants etc which
caught the eye in the near distance
exposed to public view, and the
tattered remnants of the canvas
tents and houses fluttering to the
breeze. The storm king had left
everyone with but Oho clear blue
canopy of heaven for a roof shelter
to his househulrl sail merchandize
gods. One of the first of the roof-
less adventurer's we met was "Tom"
Black. And didn't we "hello Tom"
with a heartiness barn of meeting
with an old Godericli boy in that
wilderness of mountain and rock and
silver ore and elusive hopes and
strange faces? We did. And more
than that, didn't we go to one of the
roofless restaurant -saloons and have
real "egg -nog" at fifty cents a flip 1
We did. Only once dining the thirty
intervening years did we meet our
old playmate until wo mot him the
other day in Goderich, And right
glad wo are to know he is well
"fixed."

GOOD CATTLE..—Mr. James Hearn
boaglIt 17 head of fine fat cattle
from Mr. James Fair of the Clinton
Roller Mills, on 'Monday. Two of
them weighed 4550 lbs. The seven-
teen weighed 25,050 Das and were
pronounced by competent judges
who have seen cattle by the score
in Cliuton, iu be the freest lot th
ever saw here.

Mown last Wednesday night and

BERLIN'S BLUE Laws. -Berlin town
Council at its last meeting passed a
motion to the effect that "the con-
stable is to ring the town bell every
evening at 9 o'clock, after which all
children of 16 years and uuder
found on the street shall be arrested
and dealt with according to law."
A GOOD LECTURE NOT APPRECIAT-
ED,—Rev. Mr. Livingstoue, of Clin-
ton, delivered his popular and
instructive lecture, on "The Homan
Voice," in the Main street Metho-
dist church, on Tuesday evening.
The attendance was not very large,
in fact much smaller than the merits
of the lecture deserved—Mitchell
Press.
MUNICIPAL LIABILITY,—At the
recent Brantford assizes one case
was Robt. Wilson vs. City of Brant-
fol•d.—In January 1888, plaintiff
was driving along Water street on a
load of hay; and was upset. He
received a severe dislocation of the
left shoulder, and. asserts that the
city neglected to keep Water street
in proper repair and claims $2,000
damages for injuries received.
Verdict for plaintiff $800. •
A POWERFUL REMEDY. -This 18
the time of year when vendors urge
the use. of tonics and bitters and
blood strengtheners etc, 'Why,'
said one, 'Steve Jenkins had only
taken the bitters one week when
Ile was shoved into prison for mur-
der, and what does Steve do but
open a vein in his arum and take
iron enough out of his blood to
make a crowbar, with which he
pried the doors open and let himself
out, Fact r'
COZENING.—The Rey. C. W.
Cozens, of Bright, has been invited
by the Quarterly Official Board of
the Methodist church at Simcoe
to become their pastor for the
couferential year. As the Sim -
coo church is one that has given aid
and comfort to our town coteln in
its onslaught on the Stationing
Committees of the various confer-
ences when it charged them with
wire -pulling etc, this call looks as
if it had abandoned abuse and re-
sorted to cozening.
A SACRIFICE.—The ' plant of the
Brussels Budget was sold by auction
the other day by Mr. F. Scott,
bailiff, to Mr. Grant, Postmaster,
for $300. The Budget man says he
is not dead yet though the enemy,
Postmaster Grant, has him on the
hip,ttt present. Indeed of the Bud-
get plant is at all what we are led
to believe it is, and if tho statement
is correct that it was sold for $300
without any encumbrenco on it, it
was a dowuright sacrifice such as the
law will not uphold. Neither a
Sheriff nor bailiff can legally sacri-
fice property worth about $1,100 for
$300.
A FINE ANIMAL S01 D. --Messrs

Clydesdale horses, have purchased

BAD AUTHOniTY.—Out• tOWn COn-
teinporary is fixing up a programing
for the town Orangemen. It says
that "if Robert Porter should hap.
pen to be a candidate again they
will support him just as warmly as,
ever." Now the Era has no morn
right to speak for Orangemen than
has the NEws-RECORD, •and we would
not like to say what the Orangemen
will do. Orangemen at any rate
will be the last to repose confidence
in any organ that has continually
held them up to ridicule as has the
Era. .If they continuo their con-
fidence in'Mr.Porter it will certain-
ly bo contrary to the desire of the
grit Rielite organ. At any rate
they will hardly support the gentle-
man whom the Era supported
against Mr. Porter—the gentleman
who abused his position in the
House by calling , Orangemen
"bloodthirsty" and all manner of
vile names.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Mr Chas.
Carter whose, friends live in this
section . has been down' here for
some time from Algoma.. Lately
he had been staying with his friend
Mr. Thos.. Tipling, in. Clinton.
Tuesday of last week Mr. Carter
hitched up .a three year old colt, be-
longing to Mr. Tipling, which he
had often driven before, add started
to go to Brussels. When he had
reached Fulton's hotel about four
miles north of Seaforth he stopped
and got out of the buggy to give
the horse a drink. To allow the
animal to drink more easily he took
the bridle off so that the bit would
not be in its mouth. Thehorse
feeling itsolf at liberty made a
plunge to get away. Mr. Carter
hung on to it by the neck. The
horse was the more powerful and
dragged Mr. Carter for about twenty
yards, in the nroantinlo tramping
upon the prostrate man so that
several of his ribs were broken and
he otherwise bruised. Finally the
man had to let go ofthe animal,
which pursued its furious career
dragging the buggy over the form
of the fallen man, some of the
wheels stricking him on the head
crushing in ,his skull. There is a
fearful gash in the head, and when
Mr. Carter was found a few minutes
,after there was a large pool of blood
whore he lay, and a pailful of the
gory red fluid oozed from his
mouth. He was at once taken into
the. hotel whore he remained un-
conscious for about five hours.
Medical attendance was sent for
an4 his father in Morrie, and Mr.
Tipling of Clinton telegraphed for,
On Thursday, though not in• a fit
condition to be removed, he insisted
on being taken to Mr. Tipling's in
Clinton where he now is. Though
sometimes delirious and in a criti-
cal condition, not being able to
turn in bed, the doctor has hopes
of his recovery. Every attention is
being paid the injured man, his
sister Mrs. Mayers, his sister-in-law
Mrs. Jont. Carter and au aunt be-
ing assiduous in their care for him.
The horse, after finally freeing him-
self, speeded along the highway at
a rate that could justly be palled
furious, if not quite twenty miles
an hour, for about four miles.
Then he sheered across a farm to
the• back end of it bringing up in
the river in about seven feet of
water. The harness had to lit cut
to release him and a raft made to
got him ashore, which was done in
the nick of' time as it' is thought he
world have been drowned if he
had remained half an hour longer
in his perilous position. The horse
escaped with only a few scratches.
The buggy is almost a total wreck,
while a portion of the harmed is in
the bottom of the river where it
dropped when cut to rescue the
animal.

WHAT'S THE MATTER \YI'r1I THE
FIFTY MILLIONS MARKET`—We
read in the New York Sun : "New
Hampshire farming property is not
very valuable nowadays. A farm
of fifty acres in Springfield, with a
docent house and .barn in good re-
pair, with meadow land that 'cuts
enough .1tay lfor ,two cows and a
horse, and with a good wood lot,
was lately sold for $250." And
thou we read in the Toronto papers:
"Two car loads of eggs cousigucd to
local dealers arrived iu Toronto
from the United States." What is
the matter with the Canadiau hen.
Where is the market of 50,000,000

PRISON LIFE.—Last Wednesday
Rev. Dr. Searle lectured in the Rat-
tenbury street Methodist church to
a fair audience. He handled the
subject well. Iiis remarks went to
show that there were 500,000 crimi-
nals in the United States, and that
for every one incarcerated, 10 Im-
mediate relatives or acquaintances
were affected, making a total of 5,-
000,000, souls affected by crime in
rho United States. There wore on
811 average one' criminal to every
other family in the United States.
Auburn, N. Y., prison, to which he
was chaplain for sixteen years, had
1,300 prisoners. The first greatest
cause for crime was idleness; 2nd,
licentionaness; 3rd, intemperance..
Tho rev. gentleman spoke for an
hour and a half, and his witty say-
ings and sound argument received
outbursts of applanse quite fre-
quently. At the close a vote of
thanks to the speaker was moved
and seconded by Dr. Williams and
Rev. J. Edge, and carried unani-
mously. Rev. J. Livingstone occu-
pied the chair.
HE RATHER LIKED IT.—Mr. John
Wanamaker, the new U. S. Post-
ntaeter-General, has spent more for
advertising than any man in the
same lino of business in the world,
and the hundreds of thousands and
millions he has spent are now'bear-
ing fruit, and now he is extra well
advertised without costing a cent—
and he appreciates it. Washing-
ton despatch says:—A friend of
Mr. Wanamaker's, who paid him a
call at the department, called his
attention to the way some of the
newspapers are joking about his big
store and poking fun at his adver-
tisements and some of the parodies
upon them. ' I don't mind it," he
said. "In fact I rather like it. I
have spent a great deal of money in
advertising and I have found that
it pays. There is nothing like the
columns of a newspaper to lot the
people know about your business.
No other method of advertising pays
so well. Now that I am a member
of tho Cabinet I do not intend to
neglect my Philadelphia business,
and if the newspapers choose to give
it a frog advertisement I ant quite
willing they should do so. They
aro welcome to give all the publi-
city they will to my trade."
