FIRE.— Your correspondent is very sorry indeed, to have to report that Mr Andrew Sloan, a much re- spected Farmer adjoining our village, has again been the victim of some devil in human form, by suffering the lose of all his barne by fire, which is withoutldoubt the work of an incen- diary, which makes the third fire Mr Sloan has had inside of the year, the last one being on Tuesday morning of this week, between two and three o'clock. Many of our citizens turned out and would have only been too glad to have saved any of the build- ings but nothing could be done as all (four in number) were adjoining each other,it was impossible to save any of them, and fortunately for Mr Sloan the wind was not in the West, bad it been it would have been difficult to have saved his fine two story brick house. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr Sloan, as he is a straight -for- ward, honest and much respected citizen,against whom nothiog can be said. We understand there is a sus- picion as to who the guilty party is. but no definite proof as yet. It will be a sorry day for them if they are found out, and we hope they will be. Hanging would be far to good for them. Quite a number of our citizens took in the celebration on the 12th, held in Clinton. Quite a number of our school boys, who have been attending Goderich High School, are home for their va- cation. Mr W. Wilson left last week for Mexico. He is expected to return on Friday, accompanied by his wife and little daughter. Death has again entered our midst, and taken two from this vicinity; one in the person of the widow of the late Mr Whyard. She was a very old lady, and death to her meant a happy release. She has laid down her armor and gone to receive the victor's crown of life. The other was a young man just in the bud of man- hood, when consumption claimed for its victim Mr Patton, living in West Wawanoab, about two miles north west of the village. The family has our sincere sympathy. Mr Thos. Blake, of Toronto, is at ;present visiting in this vicinity. Mr D. C. Dorrance, teacher, has ,gone to Algoma to spend his holidays.

Whatever anticipations the pro- moters of the 12th of July celebration may .have hid, we doubt if they looked foa. such an immense success aB the reality proved. Appropriately mottoed arches had been erected at different places in town, while bunt- ipg, flags, streamers, etc. gaily floated in all directions, and ever- greens were so freely used for decora- tions that the principal streets had the appearance of a forest. Six roads lead into town, and at a very early hour en Saturday all kinds of ve- biclee loaded with humanity,crowded these roads, on their way to Clinton. Six special trains, all heavily loaded, •broughtpeople from all parts of the -eompass, until the number in town must have reached between twelve and fifteen thousand people. . • THE PROCESSION.

The display of fireworks in the evening, under direction of Prof, Hand, of Hamilton, was really wags nificeut, beingaway ahead of anything of a similar nature seen here. Many of the vieitors, who had never been here before, expressed themselves as greatly surprised in finding each a spruced -up. fine look- ing town as Clinton, and even our esteemed friend of the Seaforth Ex- positor admitted that "Clinton did look as if there was some life left in it yet." The very best of order was main- tained throughout the day. Two or three fiaticuff encounters took place • but they were quickly stopped, a few drunken men were noticed, but we have frequently seen a good many more when much smaller crowds were present. Altogether:one could hard.; ly desire to see any less disorderly conduct than was manifest. THE TWELTII. —As is known the local Orangemen spent. the glorious '• twelfth at Clinton. They report that the townspeople made them heartily welcome. They were accorded the freedom of the town and enjoyed. 40, themselves accordingly. The pro- ceseion was a grand success and the speechee were eloquent and forcible. Every man had a chance to unload c, his year's enthusiasm and can now rest calmly till the turniug of the planets brings another twelfth -Strat- ford Herald. The NEW ERA can be honest and generous enough (as it invariably. is) to give credit where credit is due, even though it does not see • "eye to eye" in these matters.— We suppose the Clinton Orangemen in general, and Mr Todd in parti- cuter, were the chief movers in get- a %, ting up the celebration, and they are certainly entitled to much credit, for it could net have been more StleCeSS. ful than it was. As County Mute Mr Todd would necessarily have a lot of work thrown on his shoulders, and everything that was necessary was done for the accommodation of the visitors. That there was us room for complaint was shown by ths - fact that so many expressed thein. selves as perfectly satisfied and great- ly pleased with their treatment. • The different lodges gathered at the Agricultural Grounds, and at about two o'clock marched in pro- -cession by way of Fair's mill, down Princess street to Hayward's corner, -dew's) Orange street to Leslie's corner up Huron street to Dickson's corner, then down Victoria etreet to Turn - bull's cornere, then across to Pike's holel at the G.

A MARVELOUS ESCAPE.—One of those accidente, the afterthought of whisk is fully as terrible and horrify- ing ae the experience, occurred at Goderich Park Sunday afternoon. The two young children of Lawyer Sinclair, of Brussels, were • left in charge of their nurse, one being asleep in a carriage, the other play- ing on the sward along the /unpro- tected brow of the precipice, .whieh has a very eteep and rocky descent to the lake. The nurse, fearful that the child in its rambles would fall over the edge, rushed towards him, neglecting for an instance her charge' in the carriage, which before she could again reach it, had shot like an arrow straight and swift down the awful •incline. Her ecreams of terror attracted a large crowd to the cliff, who with bated breath watched the swiftly disappearing carriage in its flight to the lake. What a relief it was to the anxious and helpless spectators to finally see the frail ve- hicle plung into some shrubs 50 yards down the cliff, turn over on its side and stop. Eager friends, after considerable difficulty, succeeded in reaching the unharmed infant and returned H to its overjoyed parents' arms. The young woman in whose charge the children were, is in a very low condition ' consequent to the awftkl nervous shock.

Mr Thomas Riddell, clerk of our popular dry goods house, is taking holidays now. We wish him a plea- sant time. Mr Charles Myers this week ship- ped from this place a car load of fine cattle. He paid one farmer the nice sum of $600 for cattle. Who says stock does not pay? CHURCH NOTES. —The financial report for the year ending May, of the Methodist churches on this cir- cuit, gives a very favorable account of their standing, as the contribu- tions from the different appointments show :—Londesboro, $457.25; Kin - burn, $250.10 ; Ebenezer, $54.31, a total of $766.66. Rev. Mr Ferguson, who expects to take a few weeks holi- days but will remain in charge of his circuit, bas engaged a very clever, well-educated young man to supply his pipit during that time, Mr Mc - Bain, of Albert College, who will likely commence after the next quar- terly meeting. Mr Ferguson has had a year'e exceptionally hard work, and has done remarkably well in holding his congregations, and we are sure a few weeks rest will not only be ap• preciated by him, but will be gladly allowed him by hie people, with all of whom he appears to be popular. He is Certainly doing good work. The Presbyterian cause is also presided over by an able and popular pastor, in the person of Rev. D. M. Ramey. Presbyterianism has a firm hold on the sympathies of its adherents here, and few rural churches in the county are on a better footing in any way than the one in this villsge. NOTES. The motions of some of the drum- mers were more groteRque than grace- ful, but they seemed to enjoy it. Over thirty booths and refresh- ments stand 'fere running during the day. Some of them did not pay expenses, while others made "heaps of money." The fine arch Rupee Huron and Albert streets was dedicated to N. Clarke Wallace, photograghed, and a representation of it will appear in the Orange Sentinel. 'Mullett.
