Clintonians, the plaintiff in the case
having only moved from here last

POSTAL INFORMATION.—The au-

to inform the public that it is desir-
able that the postage en letters for
the United Kingdom and Postal
Union countries should be paid with
the 5 or 10 cent postage stamps pro-
vided for the purpose, instead of with
stamps of a lower denomination.
This should be borne in mind.

ed 3510 lbs.
A FINE COLT.—Mr Oliver John-
ston's "Copper -bottom mare," Crazy
Jane, dropped a remarkably fine
horse colt, on Monday evening. It
is unusually large and pronounced by
horsemen to be a phenomenally good
colt. It is sired by Jos. Copp's Al-
lan Wilkes, son of the celebrated
Jay Bird, which was sire of Allerton,
whose 3 year old record was 2.18),
3rd heat in a contested race against
aged horses and for which colt he has
since recused $50,000.
IMPROVEMENT.—A handsome ve-
randah has been added to the resid-

33RD BATT.—There was a largely
attended meeting of the officers of
the 33rd Battalion at the Rattenbury
House, Clinton, on Friday. Major
Wilson, of Seaforth, occupied the
chair. Considerable important busi-
ness was disposed of. Col. Smith, D.
A ;G., of London, was present and ad-
dressed the officers on military mat-
ters. The 33rd Battalion will not go
into camp this year. There were 22
officers present,Colonel Aylmer was in
Brussels on Friday inspecting the
armory, &c.
, No LIGHT WEIGHT.—Mr Thomas
Wille, Collector of the township of
Stanley, one of the most popular men
in the Varna neighborhood, is a per-
son of no small dimensions, as those
who have seen him know, and be is
as whole-souled and good-natured as
he is big. Being in Fitzsimons' feed
store the other day, he was jocularly
asked to stand on the scales, and it
turned at a neat three hundred
pounds. It would never do to have
a man like him "sit down" on a
CONCERT.—On Thursday, May 29,
the music loving people of Clinton
will be treated to a veritable feast of
music. On the evening of that day
Miss Laura M. McManis, of Indian-
apolis, assisted by her sister, Miss
Maud McManis, will delight her
audience with one of her marvellous
whistling concerts. She will come
here under the auspices of the Young
People's Endeavor Society of the
Rattenbury St. Meth odist church. In
`aaaition to her the following persons
will take part in the program :—Miss
Lala Barry, Lucknow ; Mra T. Det-
lor, town ; Mr and Mrs Bright, Sea -
forth ; Professor Trevor, Montreal;
Professor Rickaby, Toronto ; Rev. J.
Livingstone. The plan of hall will
be found at Cooper's Book Store,
where seats may be secured.
DEATH OF AN OLD TEAM.—It is
not often that a team of horses lives
to be over 30 years of age but a
matched team that had reached the
age of 82 years, have just ended their
days of usefulness on the farm of Mr
Robt. Ferris, Hullett. , Many here-
abouts will remember the team of
greys, owned by the late William
Jenkins, of the Huron road, Goderich
township. Mr Jenkins raised them,
and after he had got through farm-
ing, turned them over to his son
John, who used them steadily for
about ten years. Mr Robert Ferris
then bought the team, and for eleven
years they took their share of farm
work, never being idle or ill. They
were familiarly known as George and
[Terry, and seemed to have wonder-
fully instinctive sympathy for each
other. George laid down in the har
nese and died, and last week Gerry
drew his last mangold rows and died.
After 32 years of usefulness they are
almost entitled to some sort of reward.

Air S. S. Cooper has been awarded
the contract of a frame house for Mr

ENouni FOR ONE WEEK.—During
the first week in June the local elec-
tions take place, the county councils
meet,the Methodist Conferences meet,
the Church of England Synod meets,
and the General Assembly of Presby-
terians will be in session.
PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD.—At a
meeting of the Public School Board
on Monday evening, the resignation
of Messrs. Pay and Detlor, who have
removed from. gown was accepted and
the Secy instructed to notify the town
clerk. A resolution of condolence
with Mrs Malloch, in her sad bereve-
ment, was also passed.
SEND THE NAME.—We are contin-
ually receiving items of news from
correspondents in the country that we
cannot insert simply because they do
not come from regular correspondents
and the parties sending them neglect
to send their name. We always want
news, but we want to know who it
comes ftom.
COMMITTEE ROOMS.—The Reform-
ers bave rented the room in the Per-
rin Block formerly used by the Salt
Association, as a Committee Room,
and will be glad to welcome all in
sympathy with the Mowat Govern-
ment. The Conservative Committee
Room is in the building lately used
by C. F. McGregor, Ontario St.
MISFORTUNES.—On Tuesday, while
Rev. J. Harris, of Benmiller, was on
his way to the district meeting here,
he had the misfortune to lose his
valise out of the buggy, and not dis-
covering it for some time after, he
had a good drive back and found that
it had fallen into honest hands. Rev.
J. Hart, of Varna, while driving to
Brucefield for the same meeting,
broke his buggy and had to leave it
for repairs.
Home SALE.—The first great
horse and cattle sale under the direc-
tion of theBoard of Trade takes place
on Saturday, June 7th, and promises
to be a big success. Anybody having
an animal for sale can enter the same
free of all expenses. Buyers from all
points of the country are expeeted to
be present and this will be a splendid
opportunity for people to dispose of
surplus stock. Ask the committee for
all information and make your entries
with W. Jackson.
"SoNs or ENGLA:. D."—The "Sons
of England B. S." of Clinton will
hold their annual church parade next
Sunday morning, and attend St. Paul's
Church when the Rev. W. Craig, B.
D., will preach to them. The Society
is now one of the largest and most in-
fluential in Canada, and being a
benevolent society as well as a patrio-
tic one, all Englishmen or sons of
Englishmen are eligible and cordially
invited to join. The Exeter and Hen-
sall bretbern are expected to be pre-
sent to take part in the parade.
STILL ADVANCING.—We had call
' on Wednesday, from Mr W. E.
Groves, the popular principal of the
Wingham Public School, who had
come to town to attend the funeral of
Mr D. M. Malloch. Mr Groves is
entirely a self-made man, having
worked his way up from the lower
rounds of the ladder and to day stands
as one of the foremost teachers in the
county. But those who have known
him will regret that he soon removes
from the county, and yet they will
rejoice at that removal when it is
known that he takes a much better
position than the one he now holds,
at a good salary in the Ryerson school
at Toronto. We congratulate him on
his advancement and the people of
Toronto will find him; a No. 1 in all
respects, even if he does hold differ-
ent political views to ours.
\Vxo WILL IT I:E.—It will be neces-
sary for the County Council, at its
coming session, to appoint some one
to the position of Inspector of Schools
for North Huron, unless a temporary
appointment is made. We understand
that there are not more than three or
four persons in the county, who have
the necessary qualifications for the
position. Of course it is yet uncertain
who will get it, but we know who has
the best claim on the position, and
that is Mr James Turnbull, Head-
master of Clinton Collegiate Institute.
We do not know whether he would
accept it or not, but if he would, we
do not think the Council could do
better'than appoint him. We make
no reflection, in this statement, on
the claims of others who may be in
the field,hut we certainly believe that
Mr Turnbull has a prior claim, and
it should be recognized.
DEATH OF MRS. FITZSIMONS.—
Another of the pioneer settlers of this
neighborhood, passed quietly away on
Friday morning last, in the person of
Mrs Fitzsimons, sr., relict of the late
Samuel Fitzsimons, Deceased, who
had passed her allotted three -score
years and ten, has been in declining
health for several months, but was
never seriously sick until about two
weeks before her death, when she
sustained a paralytic stroke. She
came to this country in the year 1836
with. Her father,Robert Beacom, of.
ter wards settling on the 14:h eon., of
Hallett, where she was innured to all
the hardships incident to pioneer life.
She was married 45 years, the result
of the union being four sons and two
daughters, all of whom survive her
the daughters being Mrs E. Watson,
Blyth, and Mrs D. B. Kennedy, Clin-
ton. The sons are H. Fitzsimons,
Duluth ; R, Fitzsimons, S. Fitzsim-

and Mrs John Ford, of the 2nd con.,
of Hullett, and Mrs John Biggin, of
the dame line, her sisters. Another
sister resides in the United States.
Her husben3 died exactly 13 months
before her. It is a notable fact that
out of a family of seven, Mrs Fitz.
Simone, is the first death. She was a
member of the Episcopal Church, and
although her nature was not always
demonatrative, there was always the
evidence of her devotion to the teach-
ings thereof. Tho funeral on Mon-
day was very largety attended, es-
pecially by those who, like herself,
had long resided in the county. Mr
Geo. Fitzsimons, of Arkona, and
Thos. Fitzsimons, of Thorndale, were

ed by the Government. Vice -Chan-
