• would be immense. Wheat and

may he taken as reliable.
Ho, THERE !—Willilims, Greene
& Rome, shirt and collar makers, of
Berlin, visited Guelph the other
day to ascertain what prospect there
is to locate a - branch of their busi-
ness there. They find that the
scarcity of labor in Berlin is detri-
mental to their extending their
business there and they must, to
meet their orders, have increased
facilities to do so. In reference to
this or any other manufacturing
concern we might call the attention
of the proprietors or projectors to
the advantages of Clinton. as a
manufacturing and distributing
,point. We have oue of the prettiest
and healthiest inland towns in Can-
ada. lar enough from the lake,
twelve miles distant, to escape im•
mediate contact with rude northwest
winds; and yet near enough to get
the benefit of those bracing breezes
after they have been tempered by a
twelve guile overland trip. In
educational facilities. we have our
excellent .lfodel School and a
Collegiate Institute, both of which
have attained a very high character
for exceptionally good work. In
religio-social matters our town has
tho reputation of a deservelly high
standard. In the mere worldly
eucial relations of live we have a
town hall of fair seating capacity
wherein the sons •of Thespis do
often sportively display themselves
for the recreation of those whose in-
clinations are that way. The ad-
jacent country is peopled with well -
to do farmers who can supply .ten
times the population with tho pro -
duets of field, dairy, farmyard and
orchard, from first hands, and thus
ensure that freshness and whole-
someness of supplies for the table
which is one of the chief factors in
making life worth living, And all
these at, prices much below city
rates, Our merchants are noted for
their shrewdness in buying, which
enables them to sell their large and
varied etucks at surprisingly low
prices. All this tends to show a
minimum in cast of living with a
maximum of educational, religious
and social advantages, that would
attract • and retain cheap labor in
this town. A considerable quantity
of labor such as would be required
in a shirt and Dollar factory is in-
digenous to the locality, while the
climatic and social conditions we
have referred to would draw here
any possible amount of labor that
would bo required. Families con-
taining young men and women
would prefer living here to living
cooped up in a city. The railway
facilities of Clinton are markedly
superior to those of moat towns of
this size. Take it all in all menu -

GREEK MEETS GREEK.—Mr. A.
Bishop, the sitting M. P. for South
Huron, was in town Thursday and
Ftiday'ivorning. Ho' looks happy
though the prospect that he "must
go" looms up in the not distant
future. When in town he met a
possible future opponent in the
person of Deputy Reeve John Bea-
com of Goderich towbship. Mr.
Bishop was free to admit that if the
representatlnn of South Huron
depended on pedestrian speed, Mr.
Beacom would distance him. Mr.
Bishop evidently agrees with tlhati(
powerful controller of Reform opigl
ion, the Goderich Grit organ, theft
he is an "old stick", but we mum*,
also that Mr. Bishop is inclined i<
the belief that au "old stick" whe
taken is band by Scotebnlen can d
as good execution as a green shille-
lagh in the hands of the party of
the other part. It is a great pity
that Mr. Bishop was not a Tory "old

ORIGIN O!' I'lc iNic--It is hard
to tell when this form of entertain-

of Charles, Prince of \Vales, after-
wards Charles I. of England. Main-
wariug, in a letter to the Earl of
Arundel, bearing elate November
22, 1G18, alludes to this pic-nic,
and says : "Tho prince his birthday

REV. J. C. FARTHING, B.A., Item
tor of New St. Paul's, Woodstock
q
delivered two very interesting ser-
mons in St. Paul's church, Clinton,
last Sunday. In the morning his
text was taken from S. Mark, 10th
chapter and part of the 21st verse :
"Then Jesus, beholding him loved
him, and said auto him, one thing
thou lackest : go thy way cell what-
soever thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven ; and come "take up the
cross and follow me." The rev.
gentlemen has a clear, distinct de-
livery. I -Ie dwelt upon tho neces-
sity of earnestness iu any under-
taking; how earnest mon wore in
their determination to accumulate
wealth ; how earnest in their busi-
ness life from early morn till late at
night ; how earnest for worldly
pleasures; how earnest that their
particular political party should be
victorious at the close of the poll.
It was quite proper to be earnest
in our business and to provide for
infirmity and those dear to us, but
what.about our earnestness toward
God'? He would to God that the
busy men and women of to -day
would turn their earnestness iu a
spiritual direction. The most im-
portant of all the commandments,
first, was Faith. In the evening the
text was taken from Psalm 23, 1st
verse :—"The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want." There were good
congregations at both services. Mr.
Farthing made,a very favorable im-
pression on his hearers hare, and
they would be pleased to hear him
preach should he ever visit Clinton
again.
MR. HARRY CANTELON was home
over Sunday on one of his semi -
occasional visits. The gentleman is
now in his fifth year with the one
firm, Armstrong Bros,, of Guelph,
and during that time has boon al-
most constantly on the road. There

named George D. Brysou formerly
of Howick, Ont., and the appearance
there of his father David Bryson,
still a resident of Howick. In the
voters list we fail to fiud such a name.
But wo will give a portion of the
screed :—"George D. Bryson, the
=murderer who killed his paramour,
Annie Sandstrom, here, in August,
and whose body was found in a
prospect holo on the side of a moun-
tain in sight of Helena, will be
hanged on Aug, 9, if legal efforts
now put forth do not secure a com-
mute' of his sentence by talo gover-
nor, or hie friends, and if a coterie
of women in Montana and in Min-
neapolis, where he once lived, do
not succeed in getting poison to him
by which he can commit suicide.
Several attempts have been made to
do so through varioue processes, but
in each case were thwarted. The
sentiment is very marked against
him here. There aro very few peo-
ple who have expressed opinions
that they did not believe he was
guilty. Tho evidence was too
strong, direct and convinciug. He
was given a fair trial at Bonlder, be-
fore an impartial jury and a just
judge, and the defense was conduct-
ed by an able lawyer, who bas since
put in a large share of his time in
endeavoring to discover new facts
that will establish the evidence of
hie innocence. But itis the general
opinion of the legal fraternity that
it is a hopeless case. David Bry-
son, father of the doomed man,
arrived from his home in Howick,
Ontario, Canada, last week. He
went to Boulder, and Sheriff' Hal-
ford permitted him to visit George
in his cell, under the strict surveil-
ance of the death watch. Both
father and son were deeply affected
at the meeting. Mr. Bryson could
not believe that his son was guilty
of the awful crime charged against
him. He eaye George was always
regarded as a good, dutiful child,
and industrious boy up to the time
when he loft home, which was at
the age of eighteen, and he appearedGH

him freely, the score for Clinton in

—John O'Connell of Montreal, in

en, route from Montreal to Illinois,
fell off a C. P. R. train at Hornby,
near Milton, and sustained serious,
if not fatal, injuries. His thigh and
arm were badly broken. - His leg
was amputated near the thigh ,joint
and the doctors think the broken
arm will also have to be taken off.
They have small hopes of Iris recon.

—The house of Mr. Dugald
Walker, 7th con., Aldtrorough, had
a narrow escape from being des,
troyed by fire a few days ago. The
cause of the tire was for a time a
mystery. It was noticed, however,
that a new tin pail was placed on a
bench beside the building, with its
bottom turned towards it, focussing
the sun's rays on the spot where the
tiro began, and after experiulenting
on their hands, all were perfectly
satisfied that the pail was the cause
bf the fire.
—The el,leat son of Mr. Alex.
Young, who resides in Gray county,
aged 15 years, was drawing wood
out of the bush. He wee noticed
by a young man .named Hammond
to bring out a small road, pile it 'on
the roadway, and then return, pre
sumably to bring out enough to
stake up a load for town. As he
did not come out for some time
search was madeand theyoung man's
body was found lying on the ground
with one of the front wheels of
the waggon standing on his throat.
He had evidently been dead an hour
when discovered. It could be seen
that the young man had been sitting
on the load of short wood and that
while icoming down a slight in-
cline the front tier fell forward,
carrying him with it, with the
result ae above.

MR. HARRY CANTELON was home

occasional visits. The gentleman is
now in his fifth year with the one
firm, Armstrong Bros,, of Guelph,

most constantly on the road. There
is reciprocity lurking in this ar-

to have done right by him.

named George D. Brysou formerly
of Howick, Ont., and the appearance
there of his father David Bryson,
still a resident of Howick. In the
voters list we fail to fiud such a name.
But wo will give a portion of the
screed :—"George D. Bryson, the
=murderer who killed his paramour,
Annie Sandstrom, here, in August,
and whose body was found in a
prospect holo on the side of a moun-
tain in sight of Helena, will be
hanged on Aug, 9, if legal efforts
now put forth do not secure a com-
mute' of his sentence by talo gover-
nor, or hie friends, and if a coterie
of women in Montana and in Min-
neapolis, where he once lived, do
not succeed in getting poison to him
by which he can commit suicide.
Several attempts have been made to
do so through varioue processes, but
in each case were thwarted. The
sentiment is very marked against
him here. There aro very few peo-
ple who have expressed opinions
that they did not believe he was
guilty. Tho evidence was too
strong, direct and convinciug. He
was given a fair trial at Bonlder, be-
fore an impartial jury and a just
judge, and the defense was conduct-
ed by an able lawyer, who bas since
put in a large share of his time in
endeavoring to discover new facts
that will establish the evidence of
hie innocence. But itis the general
opinion of the legal fraternity that
it is a hopeless case. David Bry-
son, father of the doomed man,
arrived from his home in Howick,
Ontario, Canada, last week. He
went to Boulder, and Sheriff' Hal-
ford permitted him to visit George
in his cell, under the strict surveil-
ance of the death watch. Both
father and son were deeply affected
at the meeting. Mr. Bryson could
not believe that his son was guilty
of the awful crime charged against
him. He eaye George was always
regarded as a good, dutiful child,
and industrious boy up to the time
when he loft home, which was at
the age of eighteen, and he appearedGH

BASEBALL.—The Goderich base-
ball club played the returning game
with the town club on Wednesday.
The playing in the first part of the
gamo was good and the prospects
seemed fair for a scriee of white-
washes but the Clinton boys got on
on to Robertson's curate; and battod
him freely, the score for Clinton in
eight innings being 24 while
Goderich made 15, The Brussels
club play here to -day and the Exeter
team will probably visit the Hub
for the same purpose, next week.

—John O'Connell of Montreal, in
charge of a load of Percheron horses
en, route from Montreal to Illinois,
fell off a C. P. R. train at Hornby,
near Milton, and sustained serious,
if not fatal, injuries. His thigh and
arm were badly broken. - His leg
was amputated near the thigh ,joint
and the doctors think the broken
arm will also have to be taken off.
They have small hopes of Iris recon.

—The house of Mr. Dugald
Walker, 7th con., Aldtrorough, had
a narrow escape from being des,
troyed by fire a few days ago. The
cause of the tire was for a time a
mystery. It was noticed, however,
that a new tin pail was placed on a
bench beside the building, with its
bottom turned towards it, focussing
the sun's rays on the spot where the
tiro began, and after experiulenting
on their hands, all were perfectly
satisfied that the pail was the cause
bf the fire.
—The el,leat son of Mr. Alex.
Young, who resides in Gray county,
aged 15 years, was drawing wood
out of the bush. He wee noticed
by a young man .named Hammond
to bring out a small road, pile it 'on
the roadway, and then return, pre
sumably to bring out enough to
stake up a load for town. As he
did not come out for some time
search was madeand theyoung man's
body was found lying on the ground
with one of the front wheels of
the waggon standing on his throat.
He had evidently been dead an hour
when discovered. It could be seen
that the young man had been sitting
on the load of short wood and that
while icoming down a slight in-
cline the front tier fell forward,
carrying him with it, with the
result ae above.
