PI4OPERTY SOLD.—Mr Chris Young of Woodstock, was in town this week, and while here diepoeed of his house and two lots near the Organ Factory, to 11Ir Arthur Cantelon. We under- stand that the purchaser made a good bargain in the deal. BUSINESS CHANGE.—The grocery stock of Mr Walker was bought on Saturday by Messrs McMurray & Wilteie, two gentlemen well known to our townspeople, who are continu- ing the business in the old stand. The bidding for the stock was pretty lively, Messrs J. W. Irwin and Joseph Clark being among the contestants for it. ADVENTURE WITH A MUSK RAT. --- While returning from church Last Sunday evening, a young gentleman espied in a down town doorway, a dog tryink the razzle-dazzle act with a musk -rat. But poor doggie was not very successful in his attempt to com- mit murder, so the above gentleman applied a few violent strokes with his silver headed cane. which soon;ddes. patched Mister rat. NEw VETS.—Among those who have just graduated at the Ontario veterinary College, we find the names of the following persona from this county:—W. R. Carr, Westfield; Peter Cook, Clinton; Joseph Golley, Wing - ham; J. W. Nagle, Saltford. We also notice the name of J. W, Elliott, of Aberdeen, Dak. This person is an old Goderich township boy, and was she} ing bands with old friends here -this week. Mr J. F. Milne, son of Mr C, Milne, passed the Premiary Exam. A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—One day last week a little child met with a painful accident in rather an unusual manner. Its father, who is a me- , chanic had an ordinary plane iron, in his pocket, which he had been sharp- ening. He was amusing the child by throwing it up in the air and catching it, when, in one of its de- scents,the back of its head caught the sharp edge of the plane and a large slice was cut clean from the child's head; this was put in place by a doc- tor, who has hopes that it will 'unite and the child be none the worse for its painful mishap. SHORTHORNS.—Messrs J. and W. B. Watt, of Salem, Ont., importers and breeders of Shorthorn Cattle (Winners of the Elkington Shield, value $250, for the best herd of cattle of any age or breed) have purchased from ,W. J. Biggins, Elmhurst Farm, Clinton, the twelve months old calf Vicar of Lent, sired by imported Excelsior and frorcatatchless of Elm- hurst 10. He is a very promising youngster and will make his mark. Vice Regal. another thirteen months old calf is yet for sale, he is sired by Impt. Excelsoir (51233) and from Matchless of Elmhurst 8th, he is a roan in color, and a good calf. GOING AND COMING.—Mr J. C. Detlor and family remove to North Bay,in a few days,where he opens up business. Both Mr and Mrs Detlor have been active church workers dur- ing their residence here,MrsDetlor be ing perhaps, "the better man of the two,"and they are persons we regret to see leaving the town; socially, they are a host in themselves, and will carry away the good wishes of a large circle of .warm friends. Mr Detlor will be succeeded in business by his brother 'Thomas, of Goderich, who has rented the residence of Mrs Coates Queen t. treet, and will become a cit- izen of the town. He, also, has been an active worker in Goderich, and no doubt will prove an acquisition to town. BASE BALL.—On Thursday last the Clinton Base Ball Club met at Ken- nedy's hotel, for the purpose of re- organizing. The meeting was a largo, and enthusiastic one and by all ap- pearances base ball is going to boom in this town this year. The following officers were appointed to execute the business affairs,—Hon. Pres.—Mayor Doherty; Hon. Vice Pres, John Wise- man; Pres., A. M. Burchell; Vice 91 Pres., A. J. Holloway; Secty. Treas., W. M. McGee. Committee, George Armour, Thomas Diamond and Will Harland, Jr; Manager, D. V. Yann; Capt., Alfred Scruton. An ex- cellent team was picked out and association affairs talked over. It is expected the club will enter the lea- gue now being formed, to consist of St. Mary's, Exeter, Clinton, Stratford and perhaps Seaforth and Mitchell. We understand that the Mayor, who always has the interests of the town at hearts has kindly agreed to secure a good battery for the club if possible. GUN CLUB.—On Good Friday the Goderich Gun Club gave the Clinton Club a match on the Agricultural grounds. As the score shows, the game was close and exciting yet very friendly. Many came down from the "Muddy suburb" to cheer on their men to vidt,Ory. Goderich won by 1 point. Co4aidering the dulness of the atmosphere and the wind, the shooting was very good. The follow- ing is the score: Goderich. Nesbit 7 Watson 9 Rutson 4 Grant 8 Wilkinson 9 P ttie 8 E reig 7 Clinton.

The es- bibita were the subject ot very fav- orable admiration, the ladies being Of the opinion that "they were just lovely." STATISTICS —Mr Stevens, assessor, has completed his work. The total assessment is given as 018,695. He only succeeded iu securing 42 doge, which. is about half what were on the list last year, Mr Steve s is frank enough to admit that he believes there are a good many more doge in town, but so many people deny own- ing them. The Council will have to pass a by-law again requiring all such to be tagged. AT ffoniE—The "At Horse" of the C. A. A.A. on Tuesday evening last, was a brilliant success. The attend- ance was good, and the program ex- cellent. Close attention to their numbers was an unusual characteris- tic of the concert. Prof. Coates, of the Musical Herald, Toronto, took the audience by storm and never was there given in our hall a more hearty encore than he received after giving his first song, "The Skipper." Every time be sang, three times, he was heartily appreciated. The associa- tion is much indebted to him for bis kindness in coming up to our town although very busy in the city, and should this gentleman again favor us with his presence he will be heartily received. The quartette of the Beeth- oven Club, Messrs Sibly, Jackson, Shearer and Brewer, was well rend- ered and received. Miss Jackson sang in her customary excellent style, assisted by Mr Shearer on the violin, two numbers, to the delight of the audience. A trio, composed of Mrs Jas. Jackson and Messrs T. and J. Jackson was cleverly executed and was warmly encored. Mr Jas. Jack• son set -all present In good humor with his "I found it." MrsPridham, of Goderich, (we were just going, to write Grace Robertson) graced the stage in her pleasant manner,and was enthusiasticalv received. She hasi'e- tained her hold on Clinton audiences and is sure to be well received. Mr Keolle gave a recitation in splendid style; in fact, this gentleman covered himself with glory with his club swinging class of young ladies, Misses Nettie Combe, Edna Curtis, Hattie Rumball, Libbie Gibbings and Dottie Fair, and his gymnastic class, con- sisting of Messrs McTaggart, W Ball, W. - Robertson and -Davis,-- both—of which classes showed splendid train- ing, and were much appreciated by all. A sparring contest, between Messrs Greig and Reith, caused much merriment among the onlookers. The fancy drill, by Brig. Gen. J.Jackson, was splendid, and the fancy costume of the brave defenders was very unique. let Vice -President Rance was all that could be desired in a chairman, and his burning eulogy on his painful duties as chairman at once put him in great favor with his listeners. He is to be congratulated on the success of his scenic tableau, "Tenting on the old camp ground," which was quite realistic. The meet- ing closed with "God save the Queen," all being more than pleased with the evening's entertainment. The large crowd, and the sincerity of their plea. sure, should convince the Association bat they in their work are appreciat- Zd. Several other singers of note, whom the committee expected to be present, were uavoidably absent. NOTES.—Mr W. Govenlock, of Seaforth, a 2nd year man in Toronto University, was visiting at the resi- dence of Mayor Doherty, and else- where, last week; it is rumored that erewuin-ing his University spurs he will devote some time to studying the personal attractions of a popular Clintonian. No one has the audac- ity now to ask Jack Cooper who his taylor is? Mr Robert Livingstone, brother of Rev. J. Livingstone, was in town last week and thinks Clinton is a splendid town. Mr John Spoon- er's lease of the hotel at Saltford hav- ing expired, he has returned to town.

Mr Wilbur Nugent, of Mitchell, paid this city a flying visit on his way to St. Thomas on Good Friday. Mr James Reynolds, of Hullett, was one of the judges at Hensall Spring Show Iaet Thursday; he said the show was not a very good one, as the o*ners of the best stock would not exhibit, having been disappointed last year. An exchange makes a straight bit when it says that the editor of a newspaper will grant more favors for thanks in a moath, than any other business man in a year. It is also a well established fact that he will re- ceive more all around abuse in a week than any other man in a life time. Mr Thos. Graham, of Ingle- wood, spent Easter with frsends here. Mr Lough and wife, of the Model, visited Mr S. W. Perry during the Easter holidays. Mr Lockey, of Ber- lin, has been the guest of Dr. Turn- bull, for a few day.

Mr Woodward, of Wingham, has secured a situation in the Doherty Factory and has come to town to live. Mr James Young, machine agent, who has been very ill for some time, is now able to be out.
