SNATCHED IT ALL —On Tuesday.
a bailiff from the southern part of the
county came here to collect a small
debt from a party who was leaving on
the Manitoba excursion. The debtor
would only pay $1.50 on a claim of
$4.50, when the bailiff made a grab
and snatched the other's wallet, who,
sooner than lose his "pile," paid the
whole amount, including costs which
made the sum nearly $10.
SERIOIIS ACCIDENT.— The other
day a three year old son of Mr S. T.
1Jrilmes, of Seaforth, (grandson of
,\, . Mr Carline, Clinton) met with a very
painful accident. Mrs Holmes was
ladling some boiling water from a
boiler to the wash tub, using a bed-
room pitcher as a dipper, when the
handle came off and the child, passing
at that moment, received the con-
tents of the pitcher. It was pretty
severely scalded, and it will be some
time before it recovers.
CONVICTIONS.—The convictions for
the first quarter of the yearuumbered
61, of which 13 were by Goderich
wagh-kates, 12 by Clinton, 9 by Sea -
forth, `is by Wingham, 7 by Brussels,
and 8 by Exeter. Of the offences, 13
were for violation of the Crooks Act,
and 9 of these were in Inspector Pais-
ley's division, the fines for this
amounting to $224, the other 4 were
in the South Riding. The total fines
imposed amounted to $411.
DRIVER'S RIGHTS.—Here is a
pointer to drivers on roadways: The
law provides that if a man wants to
go faseer than another who is allitad
of him on the road he is going, be
has a right to pass, and if he is pre-
vented by the other, and an accident
should happen thereby, the man thus
obstructing the road is responsible
for damage done. No man has a
right, however, to infringe upon the
rights of others in trying to pass.

ing animals bought of the following

gone for the benefit of his health.
At Stratford assizes last week, one of
the principal cases tried was the libel
suit of the Stratford Herald vs the
Times : the jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff. with damages assessed
at $150, against the defendants. His
Lordship entered judgment for this
amount, with full costs of suit. The
libel suit at Toronto, of Mr Massey,
agains8,the Toronto World, arising
over the College Federation scheme,
resulted in favor of the World, with
full costs against Mr Massey.
NIPPED IN THE BLD.—Four young
boys, none of them much more than
ten or twelve years of age, thought to
escape the irksome restraint of home
and school by skipping to Manitoba,
on Tuesday, and with that end in
view they went to the station intend-
ing to secrete themselves in some set-
tlers' car. Principal Lough, of the
Model, hearing of their intention,
went to the station and prevented
them carrying out their design.
Only for his promptness, the boys
would all have got away, and doubt -
leg the parents are under obligations
.tb the Principal for his action ; the
man who would persuade boys of thi
age to store themselves away in hi
oar should get a month in jail. A
youth who thought to secure tree pas -
age to Manitoba, secreted himself in
a car that was leaving this station a
week ago, but hie presence was die-
- covered at Seaforth, and he was mad
%o hand over the amount of hie fare.

C.A.A.A. AT HoME.—Judging from
the efforts of the C. A. A. A. in get- !
ting up their "At Home"for Tuesday
evening, April 8th, we think the
citizens of Clinton and vicinity will
be favored with a rare treat. Artists
are expected from Toronto, Goderich

local talent. Mr F. T. Koelle has a
class in training for an exhibition of
fancy club swinging. An exhibition

14 cars of stock and effects, and a

They go through to North Bay, via
G.T.R. and are there transferred to
the C.P.R.
AFRAID TO TELL.—On Wednesday
a genuine specimen of a tramp called
on a certain business man, and asked
for help. The business man was busy
with a customer and the tramp start-
ed to denounce the inequality of
things in general, as he thought
the rich hould divide with the poor,
and ever man should have a chance
to get "an honest days' pay." He
was proceeding at the rate of about
200 words a minute, when the busi
nese man gently said "How much
liquor do you consume in a year?"
'None of your business," was the
indignant reply. "When anyone asks
me a question of that kind it is time
toget out of this vile,cursed country".
"Well, as you were asking charity,"
replied the business man, "1 think I
have a right to knew whether my
money is going to be spent for' ?!fluor
or not, but if you won't tell me I
won't help you," and sooner than
acknowledge his weakness, the tramp
sailed out indignantly.

Messrs Doherty and Co., of Clinton,
Ont., have booked a splendid order
from their regular purchasing agent
in Yokohama, who reports trade in
the Doherty organ in that country
as brisk, and the demand on the in-
crease. So much for Canadian pluck

of only a first-class article."

Ontario, for .the Malghide division,
took place on Tuesday in London the
returning officer being Dr. Edwards,

THE HOME PAPER.—The local
ewspaper should be found in every
oma. No children will grow up ig-
orant who can appreciate tbe home
aper. It is the stepping stone to
ntelligence in all those matters not
o be learned in books. Give your
hildren a foreign paper which con -
alias not one word about any person,
lace or thing which they ever saw
r perhaps ever beard of, and how
an you expect -them to be interested?
But let them have the home paper
nd read of persons whom they meet
nd places with which they are fam-
liar, and soon an interest is awaken -
d which increases with every weekly
rrival of the local paper: thus a hai;-
t of reading is formed and those
hildren will read the papers all
heir lives and become intelligent
men and women, a credit to their
ancestors, strong in the knowledge
of the world as it is tO-Qa7.
ONE OF THE EDITOR'S WOE.--'
An exchange states the fact that yon
can read the proof of a newspaper
article three Or four times and re-
peatediv pass over the same error
without seeing it. All newspaper
men will tell you 50, But ,just as
soon as the press is started, and. the
paper is printed in its complete shape,
there stands the error in treat of you
so big that you can't see agything
else. It's a strange fatt, and is pro-
bably the reason why it is so easy to
edit a newspaper after it is printed—
Delhi Reporter. Yes and when such
an error stares the editor in the face,
is there anytniug so calculated to
make him wish that the Lord when
lie wanted to try Job's patience had
put him to running a newspaper in-
stead of boiling him?—Simcoe Re-
former.

CLINTON
DRAUGH r HORSE BREEDEas.—The
regular quarterly meeting of the dir-
ectors of the Dominion Draught
Horse Breeders' Society was held at
Clinton, on Friday last. A large
amount of routine business was trans-
acted. Three cases of false pedigrees
which had been presented for registry
were discussed and the Secretary in-
structed to prosecute the parties un-
der see. 85 cap. 11, 46 Vic. The Ex-
ecutive Committee was instructed to
proceed with the printing of the sec-
ond volume of the stud book as soon
as the entries now in could be revis-
ed and prepared for publication. It
was decided to attach an office record
number to all unregistered dame hav-
ing progeny in either the first or sec•
and volumes, so that these dams
might be more easily traced. The
standard for the third volume requires
the registry of all dams before their
progeny can be entered for registry.
The society is in a most flourishing
condition, having a balance to its
credit in bank, of over $2,000, and a
membership of betwten 200 and 300
The new stud book will probably be
issued by th'e end of July.
