FLAX PULLING. —It is e.xpeeted that pulling of flat will commence next week. The crop this year is a good one and the work of palling will give employment to quite a number who would otherwise be idle at this particular season. NONE Heim.—It is said that ty- phoid fever exists in both Goderich and Seaforth, at least one death having occurred therefrom. There i-, nothing of this kind here, we are assured by a medical man. In fact Clinton is never subject to a disease of..this nature, its altitude, good 'water and drainage obviating any- thing of the kind. COVERING IT UP.—The Orange St drain bas alteady been covered in from the front of Fair's mill, around to the north side of Rattenbury St, and men are at work this week cover- ing that part of it from Huron St to Mary St. Other portions of it will be filled in in the course of time, so that before long it will ail be under coyer. PROPERTY CHANGE. --The house and lot on Princess Street, belonging to Mrs Edwards (Whitely) has been sold to MrsAkam,formerly of Hullett, for the sum of $1000. She has secured a good property atoll very reasonable figure, Mr Lough, who has been occupying the house, has rented that on Townsend Street lately occupied by Mr D. Cluff, and Mrs Akan] will take possession of her purchase. BOUNCE THEM.—The council did wisely on Monday even• g, when, on the suggestion of the Deputy -Reeve, it ordered the constables who may be on duty to -morrow (Saturday) to "lay violent bands" on every fakor or street gambler that showed him- self. Not the slightest leniency should be allowed this class of toughs and we have no doubt but that the officers will do their duty if occasion calls for it. FIRE BLIGHT.—In the spring fruit promises a very heavy crop, but it is doubtful if there will be even a quarter of what was expected. This is due to a blight that has struck the treee, known as fire blight, where touched by it the branches seem burned. It is said by horticulturists that this will work its way through the tiee and ultimately destroy it, unless checked, and the only way to do this is to at once prune off the burned or dead branches. THEY GOT LOST.—One day last week a couple of Clintoniane, not familiar with the road hereabouts, left here for Wingham and other pointe, intending to return home via Goderich. They reached the county town all right, but as it was after dusk when they started for home, they got on the wrong road, and never discovered the mistake, until, to their dismay, they ]ended in the village of Bayfield. It was some later—or earlier—than they had in- teaded,when they reached home. FAREWELLS.—Quite a number of the friends of Rev J. and Mrs Living- stone, gathered at the station on Fri- day morning, to bid them farewell on their departure to Listowel. The wet eyes were not possessed by the min- ister and his wife alone, either. On Tuesday afternoon quite a number bade aelieu to Misses M Trewartha and A. E. Beesley, who left for the Northwest, going by G.T.R. to To- ronto, and then via C,P.R. to their destination ---the former expects to remain permanently the latter tem- porarily. PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAVELLING. -- Mr and Mrs J. McHardie, of Paisley, Scotland, who have been visiting Mr McTaggart for the past six weeks, left on Thursday for Montreal and will sail on their return voyage by the "Vancouver" Aug the 6th. Mr and Miss McTaggart accompanied them as far as Montreal. Miss Tre- wartha and Miss Beesley left on Tuesday by the excursion for Moose - jaw. Miss Pinning lett for the sea shore on Tuesday,and Miss Plummer for Providence R. 1. Mr J.T. Keolle, of the Molsone Bank, sails next week by the Pennsylvania from New York and bound for London. All the above wereticketed by W Jackson. DEATH or Two STA LLIONS.—A couple of horsemen in the county met with pretty heavy losses in thisviein- ity last week. The imported stal- lion Lard Erskine, belonging to Mr Taylor, of Kippen, took sick while at Mr John Dale's, on the Huron road, and although the services of Dr lBlackall were immediately called in, be could do nothing to save its life. Acute indigestion was the cause of its death. King of the Campbells, Ma imported stallion, belonging to essrs Washington, of Auburn, was making its regular stand at Mr T. Jenkin's, on the Huron road, one day last week, when it took andden- ly ill and died before anything could be done for its relief. Both these horses were considered goodouesand as there was no insurance on either of them, the loss will be pretty heavy. GOING IIP,—The Lexington, Ken- tucky, Transcript, thus refers to a tion of C. Cruickshank, Clinton :-- "Frank W Harting and John T Cruickshank have bought out the entire stock of 11 A White, the Critter, and have gone right to work in dead earnest. They are both steady, Bober and reliable,and under- stand their business thoroughly. Mr Harting, is a son of the late William Harting, and has had experience in the business. He is a worthy young lean and deserves a liberal patronage. Jahn T Cruickshank has been in the heftiness for years and is well known to the people of Lexington. His word is his bond and those who have tested him well swear by what he says. The new firm starts out under favorable circumstances and and wili be anal to succeed."

Plumsteel has just sold to Mr James Leithwaite, of Goderich tp., a thoro-bred Durham heifer, re- ceiving a good price therefor.

Mr Jas Cook, mason, has been working in Seaforth for some time but has returned to town; Jim says he has worked in California and other tough places, and can stand pretty nearly anything, but Seaforth is too much for bim, and as he wanted to get back to civilization he came to the hub.

Mr Cooper said he .under- stood the account was only for medi- cine, had he charged for his atten- dance, it would have amounted to about $75. The account was finally reterred to the charity committee for investigation. Councillor Cooper suggtsted that the electric light at Haywoods corner be raised ten feet, at a cost not to exceed $10, and a motion thereto, was carried on a division of 6 to 3.

"Their houses are thatched with grass and flowers; Never a clock to tell the hours; And mountain grasses low and sweet Grow in the middle of every street. All the city lie asleep, Never a grain to sow or reap; Never in dreams to moan or sigh, Silent, and idle and low they he." A walk through the Clinton ceme- tery reveals the fact that much mo- ney and artistic Last have been ex- pended by those who wish to mark the last resting place on earth of loved ones who have crossed the river and joined the great silent ma- jority. Our cemetery has been well kept and the chairman of the com- mittee, Mr Searle, (one of the most artistic men among plants and flow- ers) has been doing hie best to make it even better. MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN, -_Our local contemporary makes a good enough looai preacher, so the people say, but when he mar. ries the right man to the wrong lady, as he did last week in cdronicling a focal marriage, he exceeds his jurisdiction, The third daughter of the late Samuel Holmes, is as yet in the silken bonds of single happiness.—News-Record. f While we appreciate the compliment that the News -Record is kind enough to pay us, we might at the same time remark that ''our conte- orary" or in other words THE NEW ERA, ie not a local preacher at all its editor may be, which is quite different. At the time we might just say that the notice was published, as given ue. However, we shall be pleased at some future time to announce that the "third daugh- ter" of the late Samuel Holmes arta "left the silken bonds, etc." m of music being gone through Short addresses were given b Rev Messrs Edge, Livingstone and Shilton. Rev J. W. Shilton took charge of Rattenbury St. church on Sunday Iast. While it is hardly just to form an opinion of a minister when he and his congregation are strangers, and be is placed at some disadvantage, we think we can very truthfully say that his sermons were listened to with pleasure and profit, and he enters upon his work with much acceptance. PINK AND WHITE —A number of young ladies, arrayed in pink and white, will conduct a lawn social at Mr R. Irwin's, on Tuesday, 15th inst. The Doherty band will be in attend- ance, and refreshments will be served. Everybody ought to enjoy themselves, and no doubt will, if they attend. The Dairymaids will sing several choruses and provide other entertain- ment for the people. PRESBYTERY Op HUaoN.—Tho Presbytery of Huron met at Goderich, on the 8th inst., Rev. Mr Acheson in the chair. Rev. Mr Fletcher was elected moderator for the ensuing six months. The following business was transacted: The Commissioners to the General Assembly report their attendance at the above court. Some changes were made in the order of business. A good deal of time was spent ever a petition from the con- gregation of Bayfield Road and Beene churches asking for the resigna tion of their pastor. A committee was appet with the es andointed to bring in a erecommendation trto the Presbytery. This committee afterwards reported asking Mr Mc- Connell to seriously consider the ad- visability, under the circumstances, of resigning his charge. The stand- ing committees for the year were struck with the following:—Conven- er, Rev. Anderson, for the State of Religion; HomeMiseion, Rev Fletch- er; Temperance, Rev McMillan, Sab- bath Observance, Rev McDonald, Finance, Rev Martin; Sabbath Schools, Mr James Scott; Students, Rev D Ramsey.

The next meeting of Pres- bytery was appointed to be held at Hensall on the second Tuesday of September next. STOLEN oR MISLAIn. -- Miss Harrison, who is living witb the family of Rev J. Livingstone, now of Listowell, had the misfortune to lose her pocket book containing $15, the day before leaving town, she had it in her hands while packing up, and thought she laid it down on a bureau, but looking for it a moment after- wards, it was gone. It may pee• eibly have got in with the luggage but her own opinion was that in some manner it had got stolen. , MOVINC SALE NOW GOING ON AT ROBERTSON'S, WE HAVE RENTED by the late Chris.
