AN ADMIRER.—The other day Mr
Jos. A. Clark packed, in the orchard
of Mr James Reynolds, Hullett, a
barrel of beautiful northern spy
apples, that were expressly intended
for the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone,
London, Eng.
SetserL TRUSTEES.—A meeting
of the Public School Board was held
on Monday evening, when a few ac-
counts wereapassed. The Collegiate
Institute Board met on Tuesday
night, asd transacted similar busi-
ness, and also re.engaged all the
present staff.
ROAD FIxING.—Our little para-
graph concerning "road making"
last week, was incorrect in the fact
that the hole. referred to, was inside,
not outside the corporation. It was
so near the boundry, however, that
the mistake was pardonable. The
hole has been fixed up,and there is,
therefore, no possibiliy of accident.
Several persons from the country
have expressed their approval of the
comments generally.
ROYAL TEMPI.ARS —As represen-
tatives of the Royal Templars of On-
tario, Mr and firs Bemen, of Hamil-
ton, have been holding concert meet-
ings in the town hall, this week, fox
the purpose of stimulating interest iu
temperance matters. Mrs Beuren par-
ticularly has a clear, strong voice, and
is a pleasing singer, and singing to-
gether, they render good music. The
meetings have not been as largely at-
tended as they deserve to be.
THOUGHT HE HEARD THEM.—The
other night a man in town was awak-
ened in the middle of the night by a
noise that he concluded was some
one breaking into the house. He got
up, and without looking to see if
there were any grounds for his alarm,
went over and woke up a neighbor,
who armed hlmeelf with a shot gun,
and when they came back to look for
the burglars, no trace of them could
be found in any shape. The man
was not very sharp.
RETURNED.—Mr J R Holmes, of
Holmesville, returned from the
Northwest, on Saturday, whither he
had been with a load of horses, and
which he succeeded in disposing of.
He returned with a load Of stout Bat-
tle. Mr Holmes says that notwith-
standing the abundant harvest in
Manitoba, times are not as good as
they might be, for the reason that
continuous rain has prevented a lot
of the harvest being gathered, con-
siderable being still out when he
left, and cannot be taken in.
ANOTHER PUzZLE--Puzzles seem
to be all the rage just now, and here
is another brain twister for some
people.

The above is an envelope, supposed
to be addressed for thin office. If it
contains subscription money, it
should be registered, but if it is a
common :ester it does not require to
be registered. The puzzle is to
find out which it is. The label on
your paper may help to solve it.
ROBBING.—This town has so long
escaped from anything like a genuine
robbery, that when one did occur on
Thursday night last, it naturally caus-
ed something of a stir. An entrance
was effected into Mr John Wiseman's
store, by the front door being pried
open a large chisel being used beneath
the door to force the lock. The rob-
bers then secured about $50 worth of
goods, such as ties, handerkchiefe, &c.
A young man in town, who passed
the store about 2 o'clock in the morn-
ing, saw a light therein, and stopped
to see what was going on, but seeing
no one concluded that some of the
employees were engaged later than
usual. There is no trace to the rob-
bers,
CLINTON G. C ANNUAL TOURNA-
MENT.—The Clinton Gun Club held
The annual live bird tournament on
Thursday, and, although there was a
cWWatant downpour of rain, the shoot-
ing was exceptionally good. Com-
petitors were present from Holmes-
ville, Seaforth, Blyth and Goderich.
An invitation was given to the Lon-
don Grn Club to shoot a friendly

but the home team were greatly dis-
appointed by their non-appearance.

Irons his visit to friends in Eastern
Ontario, having driven all the way,
something over 200 miles; he states
that farmers are much better off in
Huron district this year than they
are in the east. Mr Lu. Stevene,who
has been away for several years, bas
returned to town, and expects to
stay here for some time. The trus-
tees of No. 1, Hullett, (near the Clin-
ton cemetery) have shown their ap-
preciation of the services of Mita Mc-
Callum, teacher, by re-engaging her
for next year, at an increase of $25 in
her salary. Mrs Thos. Stanbury, of
Detroit, is visiting the members of
her family and old friends here. Mr
Alex Welsh, of Goderich township,
is getting ready to move into town
again, and will occupy the house at
present occupied by Mr A. J. Hollo-
way, who will move to the house on

pointed to assist Capt. Wella, in the
management of the Salvation Army
here. Mr Thos. Fair,than whom no
postmaster in Canada ever applied
himself more closely to hie duties,
and who scarcely left his office year
in and out, except to go to church,
may now be seen on the streets every
fine afternoon, his medical advisers
having ordered him to take outdoor
exercise, which is having a very bene-
ficial effect on him. In a couple of
weeks an exceedingly popular young
lady will be united in the bonds of
matrimony with an equally popular
ycung man, and will settle down to
the stern realities of life ; both are so
well known that it is unnecessary to
give their names, and we will simply
say that the very best wishes of the
community will be extended. Mr
Will Jackson has been elected chair-
man of the Executive Committee of
the Ticket Sellers' Association of
Ontario ; he'll reach the Presidency
before long, and fill the position well.

A young son of Mr Reynolds, Mary
St., has been seriously ill for a week
past, but is now nut of danger. The
death of a John Stacey, by a boiler
explosion in Dakota, is reported; this
person is thought to be a former resi-
dent of Clinton, as a person of that
name worked here at one time. Mr
James Jackson having given up the
C. P. R. Telegraph agency, it has
been transferred to the store of

Hallowe'en one week from Friday.
The battle of Trafalgar was fought
85 years ago Wednesday and the
death of Admiral Nelson then took
place, but few people remain on
earth who have any recollections of
the event. The season thus far has
been particularly favorable for fall
wheat, which is looking better than
it has looked for a long time; the
fall of rain, though apparently heavy
has not been too much for the land.
Potatoes appear to have turned out a
better crop than expected, and sell,
in quantities at from 40 to SOc per
bushel. Mrs Clark, of town, sprain-
ed her ankle quite severely by slipp-
ing into a cellar way in mistake for
a hall. !The Houghton Dramatic
Company claimed to be out just $12

of the same company, were in town
last week. Mr Tipling has recovered
the colt that was lost, it having only
strayed away further into the town-
ship. Mr J. B. Secord, of Varna,was
brought before John McGarva, J.P.,
on the charge of uttering profane lan-
guage in Mr Morrow's store, Varna,
on the 21st inst ; he plead guilty to
the information, and was fined $5 and
costs.' Mr Whitehead left us ripe
raspberries on Wednesday; it is not
usual to have them at this season of
the year. Mr John Scruton has rent-

as soon as the leaves fall off; cut them
back to fruit -bearing spurs if you
want them well filled with bunches,
then lay them down and cover with
leaves or straw; the leaves on the
streets should be gathered up, as they
make good soil for plants. Mrs Rut-
ledge, of Williamsburg, Iowa, (sister
of Miss Frank Welsh) who has been'
visiting here,' returned this week to
her home, accompanied by Mr Ed
Rutledge, of Bayfield, to London—
Miss A. Irwin, after visiting friends
in the east for about three months,
has returned home. The death of
Mrs Dennis, on Friday, removes one
who has been a resident of this sec-
tion for a great 'many years, although
living in Clinton for a considerable
length of time, she was better known
in Goderich township,where she lived
before coming to this town to reside.

giate and Modellite clubs, was played

distributed.
The annual meeting of the Clinton
Bible Society will be held in St.

day evening, the 28th inst., address

ministers.
NOT CARS ENOUGH.—Complaints
are being made by shippers about the
G. T. R. not supplying the demand
for cars. It is certainty a marvellous
thing that care can be sent to
competing points in abundance,
but because the G. T. Railway
know they have the matter in their
own hands where there is only the
one road they appear to be heedless
of the interest of shippers. Station
Agent Pattison is doing all he can,
but the necessary cars are not forth-
coming. In the produce and grain
bueineee a delay ot a week may mean
the dropping 01 a good many dollars
and the railway aui6orities should
consider the interests of individuals
and town in the calculation. What
we need in Clinton is a second rail-
road or else some power to take
hold of the present railway system
and deal out even handed justice
to all. Send on the cars.
A Prompt Settlement.
The following letters explain thein• 1
selves, and show the prompt way in
which death claims are met by this
organization .-
1. O. F. No. 470.
CLINTON, ONT., Oct. 20, 1890.
MRS. J. MILLER,—DEAR MADAM,
—At a meeting of our Court, held
October 6th, 1890, we were requested
to convey to you an expression of our
feelings in reference to the sad event
which bas deprived you of a husj,and,
and us of a brother. We bow in sub-
mission to the will of God, who has
been pleased, in hie Providence, to
remove one of our brothers from our
court here below to the court above,
and, while we feel very deeply our
loss of one so genial and kind to us
in our journey through life, we are
assured that you must feel the loss
tar greater and more keenly than we
do. I
We extend to you the sympathy of
the Brothers here, and also of the
"Brethren of Foresters" everywhere,
and hope that all may be reminded
of the uncertainty of life. and the
certainty of death. Although the
clouds may seem dark, there is a
bright sunshine beyond, and we ask
you to look to Him who maketh all
things to work together fur good to
them that love Him.
Yours most respectfully, on behalf
of Court Clinton I. O. F.,
GEO. SWALLOW, C. D.H.C.R.
Jas. S. JACKSON, F. S.
CLINTON, OCT. 20, 1890.
MBS. J. MILLER, --DEAR MADAM,
—We, the members of Court Clinton
No. 470, on behalf of the Independent
Older of Foresters, beg leave to pre-
sent you with check No. 103, for
$1,000, on policy taken by your late
husband in our Order.
Yours respectfully,
GEO. SWALLOW, C.D.H.C.R.
JAS. S. JACKSON, F. S.
CLINTON. OCT. 20, 1890.
To THE INDEPENDENT ORDER OF
FORESTERS.
I want to take this opportunity of
acknowledging the receipt of $1,000,
being:the amount of insurance on the
life of my late husband in your soci-
ety. The prompt and satisfactory
manner in which this has been paid,
shows that your Society is entitled to
all praise for such quick action. I
also want to return my sincere thanks
to the members of your Society, for
the many acts of kindness which I
have receivrd from their hands. I
also desire to acknowledge the receipt
of $33 from the Blyth and Clinton
Fire Companies. MRS. MILLER.
LEAVING THE PROFESSION—Mr G
A. Newton, who has been teacher of
Harlock school for somewhere near
ten years, and given such universal
satisfaction that the board would
gladly ha'vrre-engaged him again for
next year, has decided to retire from
the profession at the end of the year,
and, therefore, tendered his resigna-
tion. He has decided to study den-
tistry, and will next year commence a
course with Mr Bruce, dentist, Clin-
ton„ Not only in his school section,
but elsewhere, he has made hosts of
friends who, while sorry to see him
leaving their midst, will be glad of
any change that promises material
advancement to him.
NEWSPAPORIAL.—An old Clinton-
ian, Mr W. G. Gallagher, is making
the newspaper business hum out in
Vancouver. A four page daily,
know as the Telegram, was recently
started there, with Mr l' allagher, as
manager, and although the paper
has only been in existence a little
over three months, it has been found
necessary to enlarge it to 8 pages,
and a magnificent outfit bas been
added to it. The Telegram gives one
an idea of the:snap and push of the
west, for the paper is in every way
equal to those of larger cities. If
there's a vacancy on its staff for a
real good band, and a salary of about
$3000 a year ready, our address is
Box 74, Canton, Ont.
Church Work.
The regular meeting of the W. C.
T. U. will be held at the house of Mrs
Burchell, on Thursday, the 30th inst.,
at 3 o'clock.
Mrs Fred Jackson has tendered
her resignation as organist in the
Rattenbury street church, a position
she has well filled for several years.
The Y. P. C. A. of Willis church
has been re -organized. The weekly
prayer meetings will be held on Sun-
day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The Ex-
ecutive Committee is arranging a
program of interesting fortnightly
meetings.
Rev Mr Irvine was not able to
preach in Rattenbury street church,
on Sunday morning, and Mr Shilton
took the work himself, giving a ser.
mon bearing on the educational
interests of the church. The col-
lection and subscription on behalf
of the Educational Fund, amounted
to over $40, being a considerable in-
crease over last year. In the'even-
ing Mr Irvine preached, giving an
excellent gospel sermon.
On Tuesday, Nov. 4th, the Young
Church Woman's Guild will hold a
very entertaining evening, assisted
by Miss Harriet May Sibley and
others. The following extract from
the Duluth Evening (Jerald of Sept.
18th,will show what a rare treat may
be expected. Look for further ad-
vertisement, "Miss Harriet Mae
Sibley, a charming young elouction
ist, and a graduate form Detroit
Training School, will make her debut
betore a Duluth audience. assisted in
het program by Mr Ernest Lach-
mund, of Duluth. Although Miss
Sibley graduated this spring from
school, yet her histrionic ability has
attracted much attention, she having
appeared many times before critical
audiences. Contingent upon her
success to -morrow night is perhaps,
her esblishment of a school of elocu-
tion in Duluth and it is to be hoped
she may be given a warm reception."
A Wonderful Machine.
Our readers will admit that forty
thousand dollars is an enormous
amont of money for one piece of ma•
chinery, yet this is the price to be paid
by the publishers of the FAMILY HEnnt.n
and WEEKLY STAR, Montreal, for a new
printing press to be added to its mag-
nificent equipment, to supply its enor-
mous constituency. This would stag•
ger most of our American contemporar-
ies. The FAMILY Il-RAT.T) and WEr•.0 ,v
STAR, Montreal, is a newspaper success
truly marvellous.
