Strang, of the Goderich High School, are members of the Ceittra1 Board of Examiners now sitting in Toronto to determine the fate of the hundreds who wrote for teachers' certificates at the recent July exami- nations in the various counties. CLINTON IS THE PLACE —A large number have spoken to us about the next 12th July celebration.

LAUNCHING OUT.—Mr. Joe Walker, a graduate of the NEWS - RECORD ofce,has launched out into businnes for himself in Chicago, as a member of the firm of McDonough and Walker,job printers. Good boy, Joe. THE RATTENBUnY HOUSE, in har- mony with the eternal fitness of things, has doffed its Quaker -like drab appearance and been painted to match the color of the foliage of the stately trees which guard and shade the front of the building. SMALL FARMS WELL TILLED. -A fanner who tills only fifteen acres of land a few miles from Clinton is said to make more 'money out o(, it thanjthe average hundred acre farmer does off the larger area. It is not the quantity one farms but the. .manner in which, it is tilled, com- bined with good judgnent as to what to grow, that tells. THE HURON CENTRAL EXHIBITION which. will bo held in Clinton, i again under excellent manageme 1 and with the experience of last y to guide the officers the coin[ show will doubtless be ahead of s former ono. Collectors were v successful last week in obtain,•i subscriptions and members. Ere one should he a member. GOOD IN EVERYTHING.—A wrl in the Country Gentleman says th the ox -eye daisyif u cut and cure 3 while in full bloom (even before all the bnds are opened is better), and the hay .fed to cows it will produce more milk than any other hay. . Another agricultural writer says that he had a better yield of potatoes from It field where the tops had been eaten oil` by potatoe bugs than from another field which he kept free from the pests. THE DRESDEN Tinte.,, county o'? L'othwoll, of July 18 says :—Coun- cillor Cantelon, of Clinton, apple .a buyer and one of the progressive citizens of that town, was inspost- ing our electric light system. last Monday. He , is one :of three delegates appointed to look into.. the matter of electric lights and says Dresden is the hest lighted, awn he has struck and is lighted t half the cost of other towns. HORSE KILLED.—Tuesday 'df last week Mr. Morrison, a• mill. owns of Hallett, was driving to the• slaughterhouse just north of the town when some part of the harnesel gave way causing the vehicle to strike the horse, whe resisted the familiarity and parted company from buggy and driver. It ran) towards tho railway track breaking one of its lege in'a cattle guard and landed on the track. The afternoon train cane along from London about this time and as the train, was slowing up anyhow it stopped, and the employees noticing the agony the animal was in despatched itoutright. It was a Tontine colt valued at about $150. FARMERS' OvTLooK.—Crops prom- ise well in Ontario. In India, Russia, Austria Hungary and East- ern Germany grain crops are very poor. As also in the northwestern States and Manitoba. In Britain and France crops are good. On the whole it is said there will be a ser- ious shortage in the grain crops in the leading producing centres. Should this prove correct prices ought to be remunerative. In cattle prices have an upward tendency owing to extreme drought and die - ease in the immense grazing areas of the west. Without in any way jubilating over the misfortunes of the less favored, the outlook in Ontario is to say the least not by any means tho helpless and hope- less one that our grit confreres aro in the habit of picturing. �y ry ag ry LL DEORFIONS; ;'° Prices Mucb Lower ,tba,n Last Year ' BABY CARRIAGES.

THE CONWERSAZIONE at the resi• dance of Mr. John Gibbings, Mon- day night,- in aid of the parsonage funds of the Ontario Street Metho- diet church, was a very pleasant affair and well attended. The gross receipts were nearly $42. MRS. WM. CANTELON still con• Unties to improve and her complete recovery is now almost assured. She has good rest and eats with a relish that indicatee speedy recovery. Her case is indeed a marvellous one and her hundreds of well-wishers in town and country will hail with de- light her restoration to health and vigor. The lady. will be removed to her hone in the course of a few days. SCHOOL TRUSTEE ELECTION last Thursday iu St. Andrew's ward was not as rabidly contested as we have eeeu on other occasions. The per- sonal and agent canvassing, and hiring of rigs and rushing of voters, to .the poll, aright have been carried on to a greater extent than it was without auy detriment to public morals. As it was Mr. John Gib- bings was elected by an overwhelm- ing majority. WHAT'S IN A NAME.—Our gallas young townsman H. Torr Rance. would feel all torn up and unre• cognizable even to himself did he but know how the prose is mutilating his name. He was recently gazetted 2nd Lieut., .Curnpally No. 4, Clin- ton, Huron militia. Our 'town coterie has hint "'II. Torn Rance." Another paper -;has hint "11. 'Tor- rance," then we find him variously referred to as " H. Trance," " H. T. Rundtz," " H. Trench," " H. T. Bench," " H. '1'. Rupee," and varix 's us other aliases. MUNICIPAL VOTERS' LISTS.—The new Mowat Franchise Bill has. caused trouble amongst tho assessors .and township clerks in Culross, Greenock and Carrick. Under the new law it is necessary to insert in the voters' list the 'words "manhood franchise" after each name so en- titled to vote. In each instance the assessers omitted to make neces- sary enquiry regarding the same, nd they will need to go -over the g. hole township again. In one n ase the voters' lista had actually een printed before the mistake was iscovered, and in another case partly printed. MR. JAS. MCFARLANE, of Stanley, lis not one of the helpless and hope- less farmers at any rate. He will have an enormous crop this year. In spite of the fact that he has the largest barns in the township lie will not have storage roots for what a bountiful providence and his own foresight, thrift and common sense farming has blessed him with. The gods help thoso, Mr. McFarlane holds, who help, themselves, and he is quite content to be ground down by the iron heel of a Tory aovern- nrent , so long as he can get as remunerative prices for the fruits of the earth and his labor as have hitherto prevailed. And the chances are that there are bettor 'k >l'ices coining. ""� WHEAT SAierLEs. — Friday, through the courtesy of Dr. Wor- thington, we were furniehed with fine samples of fall wheat grown in Goderich Township. They are all fair samples, indicating a good average yield. The sample from the farm of Mr. Jenkins is a beard- less variety, not so near maturity as the others. The grains aro large and plump. The ears from Mr. Proctor's farm are jot turning brown and are well filled. These two would seem to promise the best yield. Next in order comes a good sample from the farm of Mr. A. •McDougall, then one from Mr. Ih C. Cook and another from Mr, A. Osbaldistone. The opinion ,of several who have traversed con- siderable portions of this county is, that barring accidents, we shall have a full average crop of all grains, excepting it may bo peas, and an enormous yield of hay.
