ACCIDENT.—One evenieg last week
a little child of J. W. Hill met with
a painful accident. She was playing
around the room, with the pointed
end of a dencil inwards, in her mouth,
when she accidentally fell forward,
the point of the pencil piercing her
throat. The blood flowed so quickly
that it almost choked her, but it was
stopped before any injury resulted,
RETURNED.—Mr A. W. Carslake,
whe left town a couple of weeks ago
with the intention of making his
home at Taunton, Mass., has return-
ed to town, fully resolved to remain
here. He visited several places in
the east, but found none of them that
suited him any better than Clinton,
while rents were so enormously high
that they nearly frightened him out
of a years growth. The people of
Clinton will be glad to see him back.
HAVE THEM RIGHT OR NOT Ar ALL.
—We have had several times to call
the attention of our friend the Sea -
forth Expositor, to its incorrect re-
ports of the Clinton market, and the
figures given in its issue of last week
are another case in point. It would
nit be so bad if it quoted prices at
Clinton, as high as at Seaforth, be-
cause they always are as high, and
somhtimes higher. Last week it had
Clinton prices quoted asseveral cents
lower than Seaforth, while the fact
was they should have been higher.
Wheat sold here on Thursday of last
week at 95 cents,• or 3 cents higher
than the Expositor gave it, oats also
sold 3 cents higher. It is not only
unjust to Clinton that wrong quota-
tions are given, but it is misleading
to its rural readers, as well,
DEATH OF MR 0O1111E.—Clinton
has lost by death, somewhat unex-
pectedly, during the last twelve
months quite a number of its resi-
dents, but the loss of none is more
genuinely regretted than that of Mr
James A. Combe, who died on Friday
morning last, at the age of 27 years.
He was the eldest son of Mr Jas. H.
Combe, Druggist, and has been in
declining health for some time. A
couple of years ago he went to Cali-
fornia, and the change seemed to re-
store his health to some extent. But
the benefit was only temporary, and
after his return he continued to fail.
He has been able to be about until
quite lately, and only the evening be-
fore he died so unexpectedly, was
quite cheerful. He was a young man
of promise, a member of the Episco-
pal church, very highly esteemed, be-
ing a native of the town, and his par-
ents have the entire spmpathy of their
many friends, in this their first be-
reavement. The funeral on Monday
was very largely attended..
MARRIAGE.—An interesting cere-
mony took place at the residence of
Dr. Gunn on Tuesday last, when the
Rei. Alex. McMillan, of Auburn was
united in marriage to Winnie, young-
est daughter of Rev. A. Ross, of Wood-
ville, formerly of Picton, N. S. The
Rev. Mr Ross officiated and was assist-
ed by Rev. D. Ure, Goderich, Rev. A.
Stewart, Clinton and Rev. S. G.
Anderson, St. Helens. Among the
guests, it was pleasant to notice Mr
I. McMillan. of Edinburgh, Scotland,
brother of the bridegroom, who is at
present on a visit to this country.
Shortly after 11 o'clock a. m. Miss
Ross with Miss Douglas as brides-
maid and Rev. Mr McMillan support-
ed by his brother, took up their posi-
tions among the assembled friends.
The bride looked very pretty, dressed
in cream cashmere and adorned with
the usual bride's veil and orange
blossoms. immediately after the
ceremony the usual congratulationa
and well wishes were offered. Lunch
having been served, the couple left
for Auburn escorted by a number of
friends. There was quite a number
of handsome presents. We wish the
young couple the joy and happiness
of married life.
W. Baer, of Colborne, has rented
a house and moved into tows.
Mr G. H. Cook, dentist. has rented
the house of Mr Donald Juuor.
Mr H. B. Proudfoot, of Toronto,

There was a fall of snow on Tues-
day, May 6th. Rather late in the
season for a snow storm, but its snow
matter anyhow.
Mr John Dayment is building a

Mrs P. Craib, of Chicago, formerly

ment a few nights ago, the first she

the Beaver Block, particularly, for
she was as vivacious and lively as
she was good natured.
Mrs Biggard, Sr., (mother of Mrs
J. McMurray and Mr R. Biggard,)
who spent the winter in town, bas

It is singular how some people do
things, Now take for instance that
jolly young man in town who when
he wants to go to the east, goes due
north. He gets there all the same.
There will be an Equal Rights meet-
ing in the Council Chamber, on Fri-
day evening at 8 o'clock, for the pur-

improved that he intends to remove
his family there.

erich the other day to work at his
trade, has returned to town, not be-

tween the two towns.
DEATH OF Ma JONES —Atter an
illness of several months Mr W. Jones,
of Stapleton, died on Thursday
morning, at the age of 74 years. He

about 40 years, coming here after a
short stay at Vaughan, from Derby-
shire, England. His wife and ten
children survive him, seven boys, two
of which are in British Columbia and
two in Dakota, and three daughters,
Mrs Pinning, of Clinton and Mrs J.
Cochrane and Mrs M. Glew, Staple-
ton. The funeral takes place on Sat-
urday afternoon.
TOWN COUN('lf.
All the members preseut, minutes
of last meeting adopted.
A communication was received
from Mr Whitehead, complaining
that his land was flooded by reason of
others not having their drains prop-
erly constructed. Since the council
received the communication the part-
ies complained of had made suitable
arrangements for carrying off the
water and the letter was referred for-
mally to the Street Committee.
The Street Committee reported that
some grading be done, that the nec-
essary repairs be made to sidewalks
and crossings, and that portions of
walks be laid. This gave rise to_con-
siderable discussion before it was
passed. On motion of Mr Manning,
seconded by Mr Doan, the sum of
$500 was added to the Street appro.
priation for 1890.
The property committee recom-
mended accepting the resignation of
Chief Pay, and the appointment of
Mr W. Coats, which was adopted.—
A motion acknowledging the value -
able services rendered by Mr Geo. E.
Pay as Chief of the Fire Company,
was passed, and the clerk instructed
to convey the same to Mr Pay.
CEMETERY COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Mr Cearle, chairman, reported as
follows:—The cemetery is in a fair
condition, excepting a few lots that
are overrun with shrubs, the party
fences are getting unsafe, but IWe can
repair them tor this year. About
100 shade trees were dead, these have
been replaced. Some of the tomb-
stones have fallen over and are brok-
en and as many of the lot owners are
non-residents, it is difficult to get the
lots looked after. The approach to
the tie stand should be fixed.
FINANCE COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Payment of the following accounts
was ordered:—J. Jackson, 89; Jno
Stevenson,75 cents; R. Holmes,print-
ing and advertising, $8.50; S. Pratt,

When the general business was
transacted, the Mayor said he had a
pleasing matter to bring before the
Council, and unrolling a very large
and handsome British Flag, he naked
the Reeve to help unfurl it, that the
council mightsee its size. "This flag"
said Mayor Doherty, "is presei ted to
the Town of Clinton, by Mr W. II.
Ransford, of Boston, a former resident
of the town." The Mayor and Clerk
were then instructed to recognize, in
in an appropreate manner, the kind-
ness of Mr Ransford.
Local Church Chimes.
It fa understood that the Bishop of
Huron will appoint Rev. J. H.
Moorehouae, of Wingham, to the va-
cancy of St. James' Church, Inger-
soll.
Next (Sunday evening the Rev. Mr
Edge, of the Ontario street Method-
ist church, will commence a series of
sermons ou the ten cowwandatents
and Qoetipue every Sabbath uutil
completed.
Sa2ramental services were held in
the Ontario tit. Methodist Church, on
Sunday morning last. The fellow-
ship meeting was an evidence of the
presence of God's spirit, and many
took part in the sacrament. The
Quarterly Official Board met on Tues-
day evening, when the general inter-
ests of the society were found to be
in a very encouraging position. The
ladies of the mission society enter-
tained the board to a supper at the
close of its labors. Mr Manning was
appointed delegate to District Meet-
ing and Mr L. Trouse was made an
exhorter.
At the morning service of Ratten-
berry St. Church on Sunday, three
persons, who had been on probation,
were admitted into full membership
with the church. At the close of the
service the quarterly love feast was
held and many gave evidence of the
progress of their spiritual life. Sac-
rament was administered in the even-
ing. The Official board met on Tues-
day, a resolution was passed recom-
mending some change in the super-
annuation fund; the church notwith-
standing that it has lost some pro-
menent members by removal, still
hold a good position and the various
branches of its work are well sustained
and the congregations were never
larger than they are at present.
Local Sporting Notes
LACROSSE.
Excitement ran high on Tuesday
evening, as a friendly game of la
crosse was being played, between the
town boys and the Doherty factory
team. The ball was faced at 0 45
o'clock, and tor three quarters of an
hour the excitement lasted, both
teams playing their best to win.—
Some very brilliant playing was done
considering the practise they have
bad. All the players who took part
are members of the junior Dauntless
Lacrosse Club, which is going to be
one of the strongest junior teams in
this part of Ontario this season. An-
other match, between the above
teams, will be played next week, on
the show grounds, and as there is no
admission fee, they hope to see a
large crowd present. The captain
has his team getting prepared to go
Wingham, on the 24th. All the
team will have imported fine new
sticks, and will appear in a new uni-
fotin on that date. All lovers of
Canada's national game are invited
tp attend both matches and practises.
C'RIO'KET.
It has been said that if a club
wants to have fun and a goodly num-
ber of games, during a season, they
do not want to establish a good re-
cord. The truth of this saying is
clearly shown in the case of the Vic-
toria Cricket Club, of this town.—
They have been guilty of establishing
a splendid record, and have become
so good in the game that although
juniors, it is very difficult to get even
a senior team to play a match with
them. They have tried hard to
get a game for the 24th, but thus far
have not succeeded. They challenged
the London Colts and the senior
teams in Seaforth, Mitchell and Strat-
ford for a game, but the clubs around
this part of the country are all afraid
of them, so it is likely that they will
play no game on the 24th. They
are trying to arrange a schedule of
games for the season, but are meeting
with great difficulty in getting teams
to meet them, for their record proves
them to be a splendid club. It is
their intention to take a tour of a
weeks duration, some time in the
summer holidays. They also intend
getting in a game with the Toronto
Colts, if possible. Practise com-
menced on Friday evening last, and
now at the park, every evening, great
enthusiasm is shown in the practise.
BASE BA LI.
' On Saturday the following teams,
one from the Doherty factory,and one
from the town, assembled on the
Park grounds, at 5 p.m., for a prac-
tise game, and had the rain held off a
little longer, an exciting game would
have been the resultThe score for
the two innings played was
Factory, 7 0-7

• FOOTBALL.
At a meeting of the Collegiate foot-
ball club, on Monday last, the follow-
ing new officers were elected to fill
the positions which, through some of
the students going to Toronto to write
for their examinations, were vacant:
Prof. Giffin was made Vice -President
and Messrs Elford and Cook Com-
mitteemen; Messrs McCallum and
Agnew were appointed captains of
the practise teams for the season.—
Everything points to a very satisfac-
tory end in the club this year.
GUN CLUIS.
At the regular practise of the Gun
Club, last Monday, the following was
the score :
E. Grigg, 1 1 011 11 01 0-7
J. Powell, 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0-2

NOTES.
The base ball boys have dot made
as good a start as the Collegiate foot-
ball club.
The Victoria Cricket Club started
practising on Friday Net. As they
have now an excellent crease, and
the boys are full of enthusiasm, we
will expect great things from them.
Mr Reynolds reseiged a very nasty
hurt while trying to catch a ball, last
week. He has a colored eye that
looks very suspicious, since he was
one of those who played at Blyth.
However, we know that he received
his painted eye on the grounds, so it
is "all right."
