LEopn.—Autumn Chancery Sit- tings will be held at Goderich, com- mencing on1Friday, Nov 14, and the Autumn Assizes commencing on Monday, Oct 6. COURT OF REVISION.—This court eat on Monday evening, and consid- ered the appeals against assessment. Only in one case was any change made from the work of the assessor, and this was an unimportant one; the roll was then finally accepted. PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—A little son, of .Mr Robert Biggard, met with a severe and painful accident on Mon- day afternoon. He was running along the street, when he tripped on a loose board, and fell, a large sliver catching him just at the knee cap and tearing the flesh clean through to the bone. The wound was so bad that it had to be sewed up. LIBERALITY.—One of our Clinton citizens, who, last week attended the London meeting of the Hindoo con- tingent of the Salvation Army, has, we understand agreed to pay the pas- sage out of six missionaries, and their living expenses for one year. This really means a donation of near- ly $000. We have no doubt but that he gets the reports from this distant field of investment he will be satisfied with the result. THE CEMETERY.—There is no rea- on why the cemetery should not be ccj�f the tastiest and most attractive spot this vicinity, and if the peo- ple willeecly help Mr Searle, the chairman o, the Cemetery Committee he will make it that. come persona are in the habit of stealing flowers from graves, injuring tmonuments, etc., and Mr Searle offeis a reward of $5 for information that will lead to their conviction. A SLIGHT MISHAP.—The other day, while out in the country,Mr Joe Clark met with a alight mishap that caused him the loss of a few dozen of eggs. He was driving close up to a farmer's fence, in order to leave his horse, when he unintentionally passed over a knoll that overturned the wagon. It was loaded with eggs and sundries, but. singularly, only a few of the eggs were broken, and hie , horse being quiet, no particular dam- age was done. It has got to be some- thing more than an ordinary accident to seriously disturb Joe's equilibrium THE WEATHER.—Up to the pres- ent there bas been a very heavy rainfall, and farmers have found it difficult to do all the work desired. The weather seems to have settled now, and their will be a chance to sow roots. All classes of grain have grown with unusual rapidity, and farmers will commence haying before the month is out. The prospects for a good harvest never looked better than they do just now, and harvest- ing operations will likely be over early. A NICE POINT.—Mr M. C. Came- ron bas been the lessee for 15 years of the right to fish in Sharpe's creek, Colborne. On the 10th of this month two Clintonians thought to enjoy a day's outing and fishing. Mr Mor- rish, the owner of the farm through which the creek passes, says that he cautioned them against fishing there, and warned them off the premises. They persisted, according to the story, is going on with their "fish," and with difficulty Mr Morrish compelled them to desist. A couple of hours afterwards Mr Cameron went out to fish, and caught one of them diligent- lrat work. Mr Cameron has brought an action against these parties, and claims an injunction to compel them to respect the rights of others. We are inclined to think that the persons in question will find this rather an ea - pensive way of amusing themselves. What they have to say in their own behalf remains to be heard. JUNIOR JUDGE OF ALGOMA.—The Empire says :—MrFred W. Johnston, Q C. of Goderich; has been ap- pionted junior county judge of the district of Algoma. This apoint- nient has been rendered necessary by the increasing raquiremente of the districts, and it will be conced- ' ed by those cognizant with Mr John - eon's ability and legal attainment • that a better secection could not have been made. It is understood that Judge Johnston will make his home at Sault Ste. Marie, confining his labors to eastern Algoma, while the senior judge, who resides at Port Arthur, will devote himself to the western part of the district. [It was known some time ago that Mr Johnson had this appointment, thought it was not gazetted. Politically he baa well earned the appointment; and although be has never been noted for any particular brilliancyas a lawyer, we dare say he will perfrm bis judicial duties with fairness and ability. -1116 removal of active poli- ticiane like Hon.

Mr Ezra Washington leaves this week for Eastern Ontario, where he intends to reside for some time. Mr Bert Walker, son of Mr H. R. Walker, who has been working at Detroit for some time recently refused an offer of $16 a week; pretty good salary for a boy." We are pleased to know that Miss Scott (daughter of Mr James Scott, librarian) who has been deriouely ill, is improving, now being able to be up part of the day. The stores of Dr. Worthington, and Jas. Anderson, in the Beaver Block, and Johnstonire Armonr and J. Bid• dlecomb in Searle's block have under- gone an outward coat of paint. Mr James Turnbull, of Clinton Collegiate, has been requested, by the Minister of Education, to act as one of the Provincial Examiners this year. Mr Turnbull performed the duties last year. There are some mean pedple in this world, and it was one of that kind who 4ole the thermometer that has so lo1g been exposed outside of the Mechanics Institute, for the sole bene- fit of the public. Mr Jas. Graham left last week for Illinois, where his parents live. He will be much missed in town, as he was well liked by all, and especially by some of the young ladies. We wish him much prosperity in his new home. Miss M. Trewartha leaves in a few weeks for the Northwest. and should she like it will remain there perman- ently; she will be missed in town, having resided here for a long time, and being an active worker in church circles. Miss Sibley and Mr James Sibley left for the States last week, the former enjoying a tempory yisit be- fore going on a tour to Europe and the latter to study Mathemical engin- eering in one of the leading instate tions on the continent. Mr W. McLean, of Goderich, the well-known cattle dealer, has been auffering•from a severe attack of rheu- matism, which it was at one time feared would be serious, but we are pleased to know that he is able to be out, though very weak. Mr John Croll Jr., who recently passed his final examinations eo suc- cessfully, has, we understand, secur- ed a good situation near Chicago, to which place he will go in a few days. He is a young man that is bound to rise, and will make hie mark ha the broad West. AN ADDITION TO HMS FAMILY,— Some time ago Mr Searle picked from a tree, a large cocoon, or to give its right entomological name, a "Poly- phemus moth.This he placed in the house and forgot all about it un- til this week when it developed into one of the largest butterflies known to Canada. Music.—We are in receipt of a patriotic song entitled "Canada," the words of which were written by Mr Samuel Whitt, of Toronto,brother-in- Iaw of Mrs Whitt, of Clinton, who is the composer of the music, which is beautiful in its harmony and simpli- city, and we must say we are proud to have so able a composer for a citizen. OFFICIAL VISIT.—On Thursday of last week Sir Joseph Hickson made an official visit to this town on a tour of inspection of the G. T. R. Com- pany's lines and property. He was accompanied by E. P. Hannatord, Chief Engineer; Joseph Hobson, Chief Engineer of G. W. Division; Mr Clarke, Asst, Engineer; James Stephenson, Supt.; Mr Tiffin, Asst. Supt.; Herbert Wallace, Mechanical Supt.; and Mr Smith, his assistant. r SCHOOL TRUSTEES.—Por the va- s cancies in St. George's and St. An- drew's Wards, in the School Board, the following persons were nominat- ed:—D. A. Forrester and J. C. Stev- ens.,n in the first named, and J. Ro- bertson, W. S. Harland and J. Wise- man in the latter. The law requires that candidates who desire to resign must withdraw by letter two days before the election, and as Messrs Forrester and Harland are the only ones who have done so, there will, consequently, be a contest in St. An- drew's Ward. Local V UJC14 ,014haes, The Presbyterian Sabbath Sellool will picnic sit Goderieh on the 17th of July. Rev. G• F. Salton, of Waterloo, and wife, were visiting friends du town op b'riday, Rev. C.

MrRaneford has kindly given the use of his house and grounds otio� Ratten- bury St. (opposite Willis dtfurch) to the ladies of the Baptiet church, whereon to hold a garden party on the evening of the let of July, further particulars of which will be given. Rev. R. Y. Thompson, (eon -in-law of Deputy -Reeve Scott, of Hallett) is recommended to the chair of ap- ologetics and Old Testrment litera- ture, in the Knox College, Toronto at a salary of $2,500. He well de- serves this appointment and is admir- ably qualified for it. Rev. Mr Seldon, who has been on a collecting,tour;through the province, is expected home in the course of a couple of weeks, and will resume his pulpit work. It was taken by Messrs. Foster and Holmes last Sunday, and will be supplied by some one from Woodstock next Sunday. The pulpit of Kincardine Metho dist Church was supplied, during the absence of Rev. Mr Hannon, at Con- ference, by a person of somewhat limited experience as a preacher, but of excellent gifts as a speaker.— We haven't the slightest doubt but that the sermon was a good one, and had it been known in Clinton that the gentleman was going to preach when he did, it would have been easy to get a car -load to go and hear him. His name is S. W. Perry. By the list of stations published last week, it was announced that Rev. J• Livingstone, for two years pastor of Rattenbury Se Methodist Churches is transferred to Listowel, and Rev. W. J. Shilton. B. A., appointed his suc- cessor here. Mr Livingstone is not leaving Clinton because of any un- friendly relations between himselfand people, for these have been of the moat amicable kind, and he will carry with him the good wishes of many be sides his congregation. The church has prospered under his ministrations and he leaves it in a good condition financially and otherwise. The peo pie of Listowel, who have wanted him for two years will find him whole mauled, big-hearted, and a zealou worker in any department of the mas ter's vineyard.

Craig, Clinton, was elected residi- dent of the Huron College Assoc- iation. THE MURDER OF MR LARGE.—The Toronto World publishes an interview with a returned Chinese missionary, in which the following appears :— There is a suspicion growing, that Missionary Large was not murdered by thieves, but by some desirous of revenge. It is well known that Mrs Large received several threatening letters from people who wished to get hold of a little portege of hers for im- moral purposes. The little girl was adopted byMrs Large some years ago, at the urgent request of the dying father and has been on every occasiofp courageously protected. The worst element to contend with is the politi- cal party called "Soshey" whose ad- herents are composed of Buddhists, From some of these it is feared Rey. Mr Large met his death, as they have ecently threatened many of the mis- ionaries." Ink IN ILLINERY Oi? 11 IS OFFERING A.

Being a candi- date who has not attended the Uni- versity lectures he was at no small disadvantage in writing 011 the papers set for the University classes. Mr Robb is specially to be "commended for his untiring zeal in private re- search, his knowledge acquired in Mathematics and Science being gain- ed by studious energy and application, and his latest success against man difficulties will be a source of much gratification to teachers and friends everywhere. HURON CENTRAL FAIR ATTRAC- TroNs.—The public will be delighted to hear that the energetic directors of the HuronCentral Fair are sparing neither effort nor reasonable expense to make the coming expoei}Ion a thorough success, and worthy of the Hub. To effect their object,however, they must have the sympathy and support of every citizen, and es- pecially of those who can contribute exhibits to various departments. The idea constantly kept in mind Is to have the Exhibition as thoroughly - representative of industry and art as possible, while neglecting no feature that will make the show a complete success from an agricultural point of view. Everybody can help to make the show a success, if they will only bend their energies in the proper di- rection. Mr Kobyachi, a native Japanese, who has been studying at Victoria College, Cobourg, addressed a meet- ing under the auspices of the W. F. M. auxiliaries of Rattenbury and On- tario St. Churches, in the latter Church,last Friday night. There was a very fair attendance, though not as large as the lecture deserved. The lecturer spoke of the nature of his native land and told his hearers of the spread of the gospel in that coun- try, though there were many hard- ships to contend against. MrKobya- chi is a consecrated Christian, and said that when the natives embraced the Cbrietian religion, they asked the missionary why he did not come be- fore, that their forefathers might have had the same opportunity. We be- lieve the lecture will have a tendency to increase the missionary zeal in this town. W. Jackson ticketed Messrs D. Cantelon. T. Armstrong and son, on the Manitoba excursion this week. The employees of the Karn Organ Factory, Woodstock, excurt to God- erich to -morrow, and a number of old Clintonians are likely to come up and see their friends. Mr R. Walker, Blyth, and well known in town, gave our enterpris- ing town the benefit of his beaming countenance this week. He has a very good situation in one of the largest wholesale dry goods establish- ments in Omaha, and was visiting his parents in Blyth.
