Mr Cud - more is one of the most enterprising and useful men in the county,and bas put a very large sum of money in cir- culation this season for bay.—Expo- sitor.

COUNTY CorNCIL.—The members of the County Council assembled at Goderich, on Tuesday, but as moat of them were anxious to take part in the flection, the meeting was adjourned until the 17th inst., (the County Court meeting in the interval). The only business transacted before the adjournment was the passing of a full quarter's salary to the credit of the late inspector of East Huron. TOWN COUNCIL The regular meeting was held on Monday evening. The Finance cow -4 mittee recommended payment of the followingsccQu,nts;-Jas. Howe,Work, $2; G. T. R., freight for timber, -$12; T. Cottle, for work on the streets, $93.66; Jno. Ross, property, $L50; Jas. Fair, lumber, $38.16; Mr Wilson, lumber, $96.74; D. Cantelon, cemetery account, $7.50; T. Cottle, cemetery account, $2; Davis & Roland,sundries, $12.06. Receipts from Town Hall, $5; from weigh scales, $80.58. Dr Gunn, medical attendance, $10. The chief of the Fire Company laid a report before theiCouncil, showin g the condition of the apparatus and uniform, and asking for additions thereto. The property committee recommended that a portion of the sappliee asked for be purchased, and that the Fire Company submit an estimate of the cost of new jackets and cape. united auspices of the Women Mis- Ona motion to amend a by-law sionary Society of Ontario and Rat- allowing the Gun Club to practice tenbury St. Methodist churches., the within the corporation (the by-law meeting will be held in the`OntarioSt. hitherto making it illegal to fire off a church on the evening of June 13th, gun within the corporation) a very THE FRUIT CROP.—A year ago last Friday was the time of the stiff frost that destroyed the Ontario fruit crop of 1889. Then the apples had taken shape, cherries were well ad- vanced and other fruit was doing well. Then the frost came and kill- ed all. This year at the present time the blossoms are just nicely in bloom. The lateness of the advent of warm weather has kept .tbe buds back so far as to givelgood prospects of a large fruit crop. A silver collection will be taken to defray expense,, HORSE NOTES.—There is this sea- son a good natured rivalry among horsemen as to who shall possess the finest colt. Mr J. C. Cole bas one from Jos. Copp's horse that he con- siders an exceptionally fine one, apd it undoubtedly is, and Mr Benj. Churchill, of Hullett, has one from the same horse that will be hard to beat. A horse belonging to Mr Do- herty, while running in a field last week, got badly cut by a barb wire fence, over twenty stitches being put in its breast alone. THE INSPECTORSHIP.—A couple of new candidates for the school Inspec- torship have cropped up, one of these being Mr Wilson, B. A. of Stratford Collegiate Institute. As the connty council has adjourned until the 17th, no appointment can be made till that time. In the meantime, Mr Turn- bull is attending to the late inspector's correspondence, etc.,and dealing with any returns that require immediate attention. As Mr. Malloch was un- able to make sty inspection this year it ie important that his work be kept close in hand, so that his successor will not have much to catch up with. FREE CATTLE SALE.—The first free cattle and horse sale being held under the direction of the Board of Trade, will take place on the market Square, on Saturday afternoon next, already a number of animals have been entered for sale, and there is no reason why there should not be more, as there is no charge whatever or ex- pense to the seller. Those having stock they want to dispose of, should at once make arrangements with Mr DEATH OF MR CARTER.—It was mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Mr Chas. Carter was suffering from an attack of paralysis. This being his second attack it was feared that he would not survive it, and unfortun- ately the fear was realized, for on Thursday of last week he died. He was well known in this vicinity, hav- ing been born on the Huron road, Tuckersmith, and residing here most of his life. For about 6 years he was farm foreman for Messrs Ransford.- He leaves a wife and 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls, the latter being Mrs E. Fowler, Manitoba, and Mrs Gill- espie, of Chippewa, Mich. BRIEFS. ---There is no further use for either the Reform or Conservative committee rooms, and the both may be rented cheap. People are already putting in their supply of winter coal. Rain has been the•daily rule and dry weather the exception for some time past. Rev J. Livingstone left on Monday morning for Stratford, he being a member of the Stationing Committee of the Guelph conference. Do not be of;aid of letting us know all the news; small and unimportant, in your eyes, items may be of great interest to others. We desire parti- culara of who are leaving the town and who are visiting. It was Mr Keolle, not Mr Brewer, who climbed the market flag staff on the 23rd. animated discussion took place, Coun- cillors Searle and Armstrong thought the Club should go outside the corpor- ation to practise; Messrs Manning, Doan, Johnaton,andPlummer,thought the by-law ehould be amended so that they could practise in town, and the motion thereto carried. On a motion to allow the Gun Club to practise on the agricultural grounds Councillor Armstrong took exception thereto,he thought a ground elsewhere could be provided, even within the corporation, and he moved a resolu- tion that the Property Committee be empowered to see if ground could not be secured elsewhere, so that people would not feel insecure. There was no seconder to Mr Armstrong's reso- lution, and the resolution giving the Club the privilege, was carried. Mr McGarva was appointed a mem- ber of the Board of Health,in place of Mr Pay. It was decided to hold a'Court of Revision on the 16th day of June, at 8 p. m. Mr Plummer thought it was unfair to impound young cattle coming in from the country; it was not a neigh- borly act. Mr Kennedy thought it was doing the farmers a Food turn to impound the cattle, and if they would read the newspapers it would often save the farmers much trouble by knowing just where they were. Mr Searle said it was the old story of "re- peal the law as soon as it hurts me, the statutes of Ontario provided no cattle should run at large within a certain distance of any railroad, con- sequently cattle could not run at large in the corporation, although it might seem hard for cattle to be impounded just as soon as they came to town.

When arrested, Red- mond was living with another woman and his wife very properly refused to have anything to do with him, al- though be professed contrition. A deed of separation was drawn up, he to pay Mrs Redmond $25 a mouth towards the support of her family, and at her death $100 towards ex- penses. PERSONALS.—Mrs Annie, of Port Union, is here on a visit to friends; Mrs Cowan, of the same place, is with her. Mrs Davis, sr., after an absence pf nine months at I',irt Huron, has returned to town. Mrs Harland, sr., has gone to visit her son in Detroit. Mr J. T. Harland left this week for New York, where he is pushing the sale of Harland .Bros Patent Oil Can. Mrs Kew, of 'Whitechurch, spent Sunday among old friends here, being on her way to visit her sons at the Falls. Mrs C. A. Chant, B. A., of Toronto Univer- sity, was this week on a visit to his brother in town. Mr McClardy and wife, of Paisley, Scotland, are the guests of Mr McTaggart. Me Jos Chambers, of Berlin, is here on busi- ness matters. Mrs Duncan left this week on a visit to her danghter, Mrs Stanley, at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Mr John Pinning leaves; to -day for Chicago. the departure of the leasee, though it may yet be opened again. It looks like bringing coal to Newcas- tle to buy veal in London and bring it here, yet that is what is being done by local butchers, who say they can- not buy calves here. While taking a sharp turn around a corner on Mon- day morning,Mr Jae Steep was thrown from a wagon, and fell on his face, the lines got entangled round his foot but fortunately the horse stood still and he escaped without injury. Mrs Davidson, of Goderich, died last week the result of confinement; she was a sister of Mr Thos, Odium, formerly Of Clinton, and Mr. and Mrs J9hn Bean were present at her funeral. Mrs Dempsey, who was some time ago very ill, is now able to be around the house. Robt. Fitzsimons has again got domiciled in his own house on Rattenbury street. Mr Joseph Clark expects to move to Exeter be- fore long, where he takes an interest in a livery business; this is not by any means the only thing that Joe takes an interest in down there. A "Trap" constructed on Scientific prin. ciples, has been put in a drain near the post office,to prevent the offensive smell that has hitherto been experi- enced at this particular point. Mr John V. Coats, a practical jeweller of experience, has taken a situation in Sarnia. The average attendance at Model school for the month of May, was 428; this is a slight decrease from last year, due to the prevalence of measles. Mr Will Malloch, who has been dangerously ill for some time, continues to improve, tbough slowly. Now that the elections are over politi- cians will find satisfaction in explain- ing how this, that or the other thing could have been done if their advice had only been followed. Some peo- ple assert that the lawn mower is mo(w)er of a nuisance than anything else, especially at 5 a. m. Mr. John McClacherty has been visiting with friends at Mitchell. Mr J. Scruton's horse ran away on Wednesday, but was pluckily captured by Mr Jim Graham before it had done any dam- age. Now that the election is over our correspondents who have been a little remise in their contributions will much oblige us if they will send us their usual budget of news. Mr John Robertson is suffering from a sore hand supposed to have been poi- soned by paint. Mr Robt. Gauley has taken a situation in the store of Geo Acheson & Co., Goderich. Bob is a quiet, industrious young man, and will undoubtedly give satisfaction to his employers.

Mr Ralph Tiplady left us samples of barley, yestarday, measuring 37 inches and all beaded out, this is surely early eu•iugb. TAE FRENCII MISSION.—Our read- ers will remember that sometime ago we directed attention to the heroic and laudable efforts of Mrs A. Ross, of Brucefield, to raise a ceresin sum of money for the enlargement and mprovement of the Pointe•aux-Trem- bles school, in Quebec. The original amount estimated upon was $9000, to be raised by a fixed date early in the year. Mrs Ross started a scheme of printed monthly letters, widely circu- lated, by means of which she expect- ed that contributions sufficient to meet tile estimate would be forwarded to Dr Warden, in Montreal. The amount required was not raised at the time specified, but last Thursday Dr. Warden received a message au- thorizing him to draw on a certain individual for $2,500 as soon as he should be able to state that the bal- ance of the $9,000 needed was in his bands. He had $6,300 on hand, and only required $200 more, which it is fully expected has been made up ere this. If not it should be collected at once, so that the munificent gift of $2,500 could be availed. That the scheme bas proved such a financial success is a matter for congratulation, and Mrs Rose is entitled to a great deal of praise for het untiring zeal in this connection. It just shows what can be done when heart and hand co-operate in a good work, and the blessing of the Almighty rests there- on 10- EOO IN MILLINERY ALL WEALTHY.—The editor of the Brussels Post advertises money to loan. -Yes, editors generally have money to lend, for we have quite a lot out, though it is is not bearing in• tenet. But we are afraid that we shall never get some of ours unless we sue for it. A St. Mary's paper says:—On Sab- bath last Mr Edwin Seldon, of Clin- ton, officiated in the Baptist church of this town. Mr Seldon is on a tour among the:denominational churches;in Ontario collecting funds to liquidate the dept on the Clinton church. He was fairlj successful in St. Marys and anticipates raising a large amount within the next month. 1111'111 IS OFFERING A TabloofTrimm.edHats YOUR CHOICE FOR 50 CENTS.

Let parents and friends of the cause encourage the children to come. CONCERT.—The whistling concert had a good audience, last Thursday evening, and was enjoyed by all pres- ent. The whistling of Miss McMan- nis was fully appreciated, as each time she received an encore, her whistling is clear, sweet and musical, and very pleasant to hear, her sister is an excellent pianist. As a reciter, Mrs Detlor has good taste and exe- cution. Mrs Bright is a sweet singer, but not very strong. Mrs Barry's sing- ing was much enjoyed. Rev. Mr Livingstone, Prof. Trevor and Mr Rickeby each performed their parte well. s Dress Goods & Prints, Cottons, Cottonades, Shirts,Sheetings,&c ,~ AT CLOSE PRICES Lace Curtains From 50 cts a pair up Call and see them.
