HAND CUT.—A young man named
Orr, while working in the key -mak-
ing department of the Doherty Or-
gan Factory, on Monday, got his
hand so severely cut that he has been
compelled to quit work for a few days.
i
d
- SENT Up.—The other day a strang-
er named Warner asked Mayor Do-
herty to commit him to jail as a va-
grant, as he had no means of support,
and he was committed for 30 days
accordingly. This is the second man
who the Mayor has accommodated at
his own request.
Mr H. Stevens has the contract for
doing some building and making im-
provements to the premises of Messrs
Bryan, ot Belgrave. He will also
build a new verandah ;for Mr W.
Robinson, Huron et. Mr Stevens is
the oldest contractor in town,and one
whose reputation for good work is so
well established that it requires no
endorsation.
BURNED HIS COAT.—We are told
that a farmer residing out of town
was coming along the other day, with
his wife in !rhe buggy,when they were
• alarmed by the smell of burning cloth,
and a hurried investigation disclosed
the fact that the farmer's pipe, which
had been placed in one of his pockets
shortly before, had set fire to his over-
coat and burned it so badly that he
had to buy a new one.
THE SICK.—There are so many of
our townspeople laid up, other than
those whose cases were noted last
week, that it ie difficult to keep track
of them; Mr Jos. Biddlecombe has
been down for several days. Mrs
Simpson, who underwent an opera-
tion for the removal of a cancer, is
still very poorly. Mrs Monahan is
hanging beeween life and death. Mrs
A. McKenzie has been very poorly
• for several days. Councillor Searle
also has the Grippe.
HOME CIRCLE.—The following are
the ufficers of the 0 C Herne Circle
in Clinton, for the current, term,
elected at their last meeting: L, R.
Irwin; V L, Mrs A. O. Pattison; Sec,
I. Taylor; Tress Jas. Reith; F Sec,
Jaynes Grant; Chap, Mrs R. Irwin;
Marshall, R. Welsh; Warden, A. O.
Pattison; Guard, H. Wiltsie; Sent, J.
Eagleson; Med. Exam., R. W. Wil-
liams, M D. Aftef the meeting, Mr
Irwin, the Leader, entertainer the
members to an oyster supper at An-
" derson's, which is not the first time
the members of the Home Circle have
enjoyed his hospitality.
BAD FOR LUMBERING.—The pres-
ent winter is a bad one for lumbering
operations, as lack of snow will make
it.more difficult to get out etuffthat
has been cut. Mr McCuaig, our lo-
cal lumber dealer, and who annually
- gets out a lot of square timber, tells
us that he feels the effect ot there be-
ing no snow bad. He has a lot of
lumber lying in the woods ready to
haul out as soon as sleighing comes,
and if he has to haul it by waggon
the extra cost will be such that he
will lose money.
A CHARITY CONCERT.—It has been
suggested that it would be a good
thing to get up a charity concert
among the musicians and singers of
town, for the:purpose of relieving -the
wants of some of those who may be
in pressing need. Mr Shearer offers
to do all that he can for it, and we
believe that there are others in town
who would be only too glad to give
whatever assistance they can render.
We suggest that Mayor Doherty,
Deputy Reeve /tanning, T. Jackson
Jr., and F. Shearer, be a committee '
to take up the matter and go ahead
with it.
DISTANT HILLS LOOK GREEn.—
We understand that Mr E. G. Cour-
tice, who recently went west, hatknot
become altogether enamored of it,nor
has he found opportunities for mater-
ial advancement as great as he anti-
cipated. He has some intention of
Ooing on to Washington Territory or
regon. By the way, he visited the
place of Hon. T. M. Elliott, in Da-
kota, a day or two since, and found
him in the best of health and spirits,
so that the report in the dailies con-
cerning the freezing to death of a
" "Tom Elliott, a weatlhy ranchman,"
has no connection, we are glad to say,
with our well known T. M.
SOUTH HURON ORANGEMEN.—The
County Orange Lodge of South Hur-
on met at Exeter, on Tuesday. The
'"' attendance was very large, every dis•
trict being represented. The reports
of County Master Floody, of Clinton,
and County Secretary Hanley, of
Exeter, .showed the Order was pro-
gressing very fast, and after rountine
business was transacted the following

year :—W C M, A M Todd, Clinton ;

cellent base-ballist. He keeps up his
studies too, and every year sees his
name on the list of those who have
passed their exams.
Those who have been students or
teachers at the Collegiate have in-
varibly succeeded in getting splendid
schools when they want them. The
school's record on that score is a grand
one. Mr Perry, B. A., who was for 7
years Classical teacher here, bad been
ask2d twice to take the principalship of
the school in Kincardine. Mr McLean
who will be remembered by the older
pupils, is now principal of the Portage

the Mitchell Public school. Mr Wm.
Ross B. A. another student, is now

faction of everybody.

The other evening Mr Alex Arm-
strong entertained the members of

members furnishing some good in-
strumental music during the evening,
and afterwards participating in re-
freshments.
Mr Seldon, who has been eapplyiug
here for a short time, has accepted a
unanimous call to the pastorate of the

tor.

years has looked after the Episcopal
Church at Summerhill, to the com-
plete satisfaction of all, has given up

same.

Ontario St Church, on Monday even-

the previous day were largely attend-
ed.

pletion of the required B. A. work of
a western college he has also secured
the arts degree. Mr Philp has been
offered work in the Boston Correspon-
dence School of N. T. Greek. We
congratulate him on his new and well-
earned honors.
The quarterly services of Ratten-
bury St. Church were held on Sunday
last, a large number participating in
the sacramental service. The offi-
cial meeting was heldon the follow-
ing Monday night. Financial re-
turns, doubtless owing to the prevail-
ing stringeney, were not quite up to
the estimates, but will be amply pro-
vided for before the end of the finan-
cial year. It was decidedroo hold a
congregational meeting on tithe 12th
inst., so that a full statement of the
church's condition might be given to
the members. Resolutions in favor
of the taxation of parsonage property
and against the continuance of the
Superannuation Fund in its present
form were introduced and discussed.
though no definite action could be
taken thereon.

The Athletic Assn. is increasing in
membership, and are finding the pre-
sent rooms too small, and are looking
for larger ones and before leaving the
present Hall, they purpose holding a
first class en tertainment,on Thursday
the 13th, and will present a good pro-
gram. They have given a number
of fine entertainments but at this
make a small charge of 10c, being in
need of extra funds to pay cost of
fixing np new room, and hope the
public will give them a generous
support.
This from the Grant County, (Ores
gon) News, refers to a cousin of Mrs
Whitt of this place:—Ere the News
was circulated last week information
was flashed actress the desert wastes
of snow that M. D. Clifford had been
appointed to succeed Judge Ison
Clifford's many friends here hailed
the good news with joy, and congrat-
ulate him on becoming appointed
among such an army of competitors.
Judge Clifford immediately asumed
the responsibilities of his new Office
and is now holding court at Vale.
The Goderich papers never used to
tire of sounding the praises of "their
beautiful gravel walks, and fine dry
streets" and any other place that was
unfortunate enough to have a little
mud in soft weather was considered so
far beneath - them as to be the subject of
sympathy. But we pity the unfortun-
ate mortal whose business compels
him to foot it over "the beautiful gar -
vel walks"of Goderich in soft weather
From the station to the Square,on both
sides of the street, ie a continuous dirty
black mud hole, without a clean spot
in it, with which the proverbidl mud
ofChicago of Winnipeg is cleanness
itself. Even Seaforth streets, dirty as
they sometimes are, cannot begin to
approach the measley, black, sticky
nature of Goderich's "beautiful gra-
vel walks."

and Gibbing's pond is now pretty
good.and the boys are enjoying them-
selves, The NEW ERA and Goderich
Star were the only papers that report-
ed the Sabbath School Convention
last week anything like in full; the
NEW ERA always "gets there" when
early news is wanted. Everybody is
pleased that Mr T. Fair is able to be
in the post office again, ever if he is
not yet strong enough for work. A
ten foot sidewalk on the `main street
is wide enough for the accommodation
of most people, but one man found it
quite narrow enough on Tuesday.

visiting her sister Mrs G. H. Cook.
Mrs Hudspeth, Detroit,is visiting her
sister Mrs Fair, sr. Mr S.F. Mitchell,
