It is in charge of Mr T. Cottle, who has in- structiona from the directors, to close the rooms promptly at 10 o'clock every evening. DEATH.—Mr W. Hammill, of Sea- ,lforth, died on Sunday at the age of ;;,years. Deceased was one of the ` elser settlers of Huron, having { _letVfor a number of years on the nd. eon. Hallett. Latterly he has re ided in Seaforth. He was the father of Mrs James Steep, Clinton, and leaves a grown up family of eight children. ANOTHER MANUFACTORER,—Mr G. F. Oakea has severed hie connec- tion with the Oakes Organ Co., and will forthwith manufacture organa ander his own name. Clinton has honestly earned a reputation for first- class musical instruments, and to Mr Oakes belongs a share of the credit for the same, being the originator of what is known as the Oakes organ. A very pleasant affair took place at the home of Mr Robt. Cottle, 2570 Central SL,Kansas City, on Wednes- day evening of last week, when his niece, Sarah, second daughter of Mr Geo. Cottle, of Clinton, was united in the bonds of holy matrimony to Mr John M. Dahl, of Kansas City, by the Rev. T, W. Watts, pastor of Washington St., M. E. Church. HURON CENTRAL.—At a meeting of the officers of the Huron Central Fair association on Saturday last, protests that had been lodged against the awards made to a carriage team, a carriage horse, and roadster team, were allowed, the prizes as originally awarded, being disallowed. The tug of war prize of $5 was awarded to I!1u'llett team, on the ground that no opponente to them appeared at the, proper time. AN UNCOMMON EXPERIENCE.—A business man in this town held a note for $18 against a certain person, which for a long time he tried to get settled but in Rain. He recently wrote to the party, offering to take S15 as a full settlement. The party wrote back, saying he would consid- er himself mean to take advantage of such an offer, and although he had been repeatedly dunned, actually sent the full amount of the note. The business"man, however, returned him 83, as he thought he was in duty bound to do. QUITE WELCOME,—The Hensall correspondent of the Expositor thus alludes to the removal of a family to Clinton :—"Mrs Ferguson and family of the township of Hay, have rented ,their fine farm, situated on the Zur- ich road, to Mr. George Graham, of Hay, and this week removed into Clinton, where Mrs Ferguson intends residing, at least until her son Robert has finished his studies. While we very much regret losing Mrs Ferguson and family from our midst as they have always been held in high esteem we wish them all comfort, health and happiness in their new home." Mrs Ferguson has rented a house on oglnsend Street. WEDDING—The weather on Thurs- day afternoon last was as pleasant as could be desired for the season of the year, and quite in harmony with the happy °bent that took place at the residence of Mr John Gibbings, which was the marriage of his eldest daughter, Carrie E., to Mr Will J. Kay. A large number of guests were present, and at about 2.30 p.m. the bride entered the drawing -room on the arm of her father, followed by the bridesmaids, groom and groomsmen. The bride was assisted by Miss E. Shipley, of Clinton, and Miss Geddes, of Belgrave; the groom being suppot t- ed by his brother, Mr Fred Kay, and Mr Benj. Gibbings, brother of the bride. Rev Mr Edge officiated. Im- mediately after receiving • the con- gratulatibne of' their friends, they sat down to dinner. Before leaving the table, Mr Manning proposed the health of the bride and groom, re- ferring to the fact that as organist and leader respectively of Ontario ,fit. choir, they had had ample oppor- tunity bf becoming thoroughly ac- quainted with each other's peculiari- ties. Mr Edge also made a few com- plimentary remarks, which were acknowledged by Mr Kay. At 4.45 they left on their wedding tour, the station platform being crowded with townspeople. The groom is a young marl who has resided in town for some time, being connected with the Doherty Oran Factory, while the bride, a native of the town, Is so well known that intro " 'ion to the 'people of this towu�`is unnecessary. She is exceedingly popular, as show n by the handsome resents received, and they enter on'the real dutiefi of life With the good; Ashes and esteem of all, •l ox oar V,4iiva--The other day young Luau named Ld, g loyfSaafortb nixed a rig at Reynolds' 'livery, fel t :ct bonze, bat instead of retuenirt it at the, end thereof, he drove. til beast rlato iter hour, left it ttandin at, the station, anti,jump,ed ,oil a ttai that was j st oipg gilt, Ilia bora lead evidently been firiveet ver, hard as it was covered with perapxretion and a charge was laid against Lloy for cruelty.

PROSPECTIVE SUIT.—It is said that a cattle dealer of this place, pur- poses entering action against a G. T. station agent on the line of the L. H.& B., for damages said to have been sustained by a car load of cattle shipped from the station in question. They were destined for Montreal,and the in- structions of the shipper were that the cattle were to be fed and watered at Toronto. This, it is said, was omitted from the bill of lading and the cattle went through without this attention. The shipper claims that the cattle suffered thereby, causing loss to him, hence the grounds for suit. HE GOT AHEAD OF THEM.—The following advertisment appeared in the Globe of Tuesday :— T. WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.—W. P. Searle is and has been prohibited from drawing on either of us, and is no longer in our employ. W, J. SCARFS and SCARFE & Co. W. P.Scarfe is traveller for a Brant- ford house,and well known here. We are informed that on Monday he drew on the house for $50 through a Lucknow merchant, and did the same at Wingham, on Tuesday, through a merchant there, before the morning papers arrived. Hethen proceeded to Clinton, where a tele- phone message was sent, asking that he be detained. Constable Wheatly replied that he could not detain him, except on the demand of Chief Petty - piece, of Wingham, or on the strength of a warrant, and while arrangements were being made to secure the attend- ance of Petty piece at the telephone, Mr Scarfe, jr., quietly made his exit. NOTES.—Jonathan Ashbridge, one of the oldest residents of the East End, Toronto and a member of the family that gave the name to Ash- bridge Bay, died on Saturday, aged 71 years ; deceased was a relative of Mr Samuel Hill, of Clinton. Mr John Scott, late of Manitoba, has bought a small house and lot in town, from Mrs Saville, and taken up his resi- dence here. Mr and Mre John Fol - land, a pretty old couple, are both quite sick. The Guy Bros., Minstrels had a crowded house on Thursday evening. The roads outside of town are in a bad state. Auction sales are scarce in this section this fall. Mr J. P.

Dr. McMur- chie, of Smithville, was a visitor to his brother Reeve McMurchie, -last week, and was pleased to find him on the road to recovery, by -the -way, the Reeve comes from a large family, there being eleven boys and seven girls, 18 in all, and what is remarkable is that all are still living. Miss M, Shipley, of the Huron road, is con- fined to bed by an ulcer of the stom- ach. Mr Jos. Managhan, of . Bay City, is visiting his friends in this place. Mr Jacob Slowmau is having a new house built, on his property below the station. Mr W.

Mr Peter Canleton got a nip on the leg by a dog the other day, the owner of which subsequently gave it a dose of poison. A small boy named Smith, who looks after Dr. Reeve's horses, got kicked in the face the other day by one of them ; a nasty cut below the eye was the result) but fortunately it was not serious. The freight shipments at the present time arepretty heavy, special trains running for its accommodation ; the output includes apples, grain, live stock &c. Mr James Stephenson, Superinten- dent G. T. R., and W. R. Tiffin, as- sistant-supt. were up the road this week on atour of inspection.

The Eby Medicine Co, are advertis- ing Butternut Bitters by bolding nightly entertainments inithe town hall ; the company is quite a large one, and give a good free entertain- ment, much better in fact than many companies that make a living out of the snow business; they are here all week. Messrs 14lcGarva and Steep, J. Ps., tried a case of alleged violation of the Crooke Act, this week, the de- fendant being Mr Milne, of Blyth, but the charge was dismissed for lack of proof.

An excellent sermon from the words "In everything give thanks," was preached by Rev J. ,Edge, The: collection amounted, to about $25.70, It elieaks well of the christlan unity of this town, that services of this nature can be field Linn) from Limto time, without the slight- est friction or unpleasantness, and is en encouraging sign of the times. bliss M. Douglass, who was a dele- gate from Willie Sabbath School, to the recent convention at Brantford, made her report to the teachers and officers of tie school, on Monday evening, and fa very interesting and Instructive one it was, showing that she had paid close attention to all the proceedings. It is a difficult task to summarise a meeting of this descrip- tion. but Mise Douglass was quite equal to the occasion. Our readers are not generally aware or the fact that Miss Douglass has mastered shorthand, but such is the fact. On Sunday next the anniversary services of Ontario St. church will be held, when Rev J. Livingstone, of Listowell, will preach morning and evening, and lecture on the Monday evening following. In a circular ad- dressed to the members of the church the following occurs:—"The Board, with deep gratitude to the great Head of the Church, is able to report another year of prosperity and bless- ing. The services of the church are all well attended. Our people have given liberally and the finances are in good condition, the debt is steadily decreasing, and above everything else God's people are being edified and sinners saved." The fellowship meeting in Ratten- bury Sechurch, Sunday morning,was not only well attended, but was a profitable means of grace. At the close of the evening service, sacra• meat was administered to a very large number, Rev Mr Edge help- ing the pastor in its administration. At the official meeting on Monday evening, Mr W. R. Lough was un- animously elected Recording Steward, in place of R. W. Williams removed, The same stewards as heretofore were all re-elected. ;The finances were found to be slightly in advance of those for the same time last year. Mr Lu Stevens and Lu Carter were added to the list of exhorters. The work of the church was found to be in a very satisfactory condition. VIs1T OF REV J. PoTTs, D. D.— The meeting addressed by Rey John Potts, D.D., on Wednesday evening last, in the Ontario street Methodist church, was a great success. All the churches were represented by as fine an audience of Christian workers as ever assembled in this town. Dr Potts is well known as a grand speak- er, and his address was anticipated with great expectations. The chair was occupied by Mr A. H. Manning, and the ministers present were Revs A Stewart, J W Shilton, W Ayers and J Edge, The members of the choir rendered several appropriate numbers, including a duet by Misses Nellie Walker and Azzie Gibbings, and solos by Messrs R Foster and J A Giffin. Dr Potts' address was on the subject "Christian work and edu- cation." His principal points were, (1) loyalty to Christ; (2) loyalty to the church; (3) work for the Master; (4) different kind of work; (5) equip- ment for work; (6) Sunday school work. Upon these the Rev Dr. en- larged in his own effective and elo quent way, and was listened to very attentively by the large audience. His description of the committee which prepares the International se- ries of S S. lessons was a fine piece of word painting, and proved very inte- resting to those who did not before know how the series were prepared. At the close of the address, Rev Mr Stewart, in an excellent speech, pro- posed a vote of thanks, which Rev Mr Shilton seconded, and the audi- ence cordially endorsed. Clinton Gun Club. A meeting of the Gun club was held, on the 10 inst. it was decided to build a club house. on the agricultural grounds the directors of the society, having kindly granted them that privilege, building operations will be commenced at once, as they are anxious to have it completed before winter sets in. It was also decided to divide the dlub into three classes, and hold a monthly shoot for a silver oup,for each class, to be shot for under the following rules :- 1 The cups to be of equal value. 2 The club shall be divided into three classes viz.
