This is truly "the first of the season," and shows that early vegetables can ae easily be grown heretas in more favored clim- atically localities. CONVICTIONS. — The magistrates convictions for the quarter, ending March the 10th, numbered only 23. Of the offences, 0 were tor violation of the Crook's Act, all the rest were minor nffences. Ouly 4 were by Clinton magistrates. The total fines amounted to $144. BIG EGGS.—The festive hen bas arisen from her long winter torpidity, and started in on her spring work. Mrs John Ransford, of Stapleton, is the happy possessor of hens that lay eggs 6 by 8 inches, weighing almost four to the pound. When the Secre- tary of the Salt Association wants poached eggs on toast he gets them, • AN APPLICANT.—Mr John Beatty, baggageman, Goderich, and who formerly performed the came duties at Clinton, is an applicant for the - vacant station . agencyat„Brucefield,, caused by the death of Mr Rose. John is a tip-top man, thoroughly reliable, has been long in the service of the company, and will look well after the railroads8 interests, if those n authority can see their way clear o his appointment. ASTRAY.—The following item ap pears in several of the city papers, and has been copied by the county papers:—"The town of Clinton, is seeking from the Legislature author- ity to consolidate' its debenture debts, which- amount to $295,000, and issue debentures to redeem the outstand- ing bonds as they fall due." The addttion of a cipher too much makes indebtedness of this town a couple of hundred thousand more than it is, The indebtness is only $29,500. ALLEGED ABSAULT.—On Saturday a young man was brought before Messrs McGarva and Steep, charged by Mr S Barr, of the 16th con., Gode- rich township, with an attempted rape upon his wife. The Defendant plead not guilty to the charge. Mrs Barr is of unsound mind, perfectly helpless, and therefore, could not testify. The evidence of Mr Barr was purely circumstantial, but coup- led with medical testimony, the mag- istrates deemed it sufficient upon which to commit the prisoner ,.for. trial. He has hitherto borne a good reputation. DELAYED.—On Saturday, the train due here at 4 40 p m, from Goderich, did not reach here until about 8.30, owing to an accident that happened to the locomotive. When it was just the other side of Holmesville, a por- tion of the boiler gave out, allowing the steam to escape. The engineer realizing that he could not climb the cutting, reversed his engine, and crowing on all the steam he could, let the train run back; as he could not get up steam, owing to the leak- age, the momentum and grade carried the train back, and when it reached Goderich, there was not steam enough to get up a whistle. The evening train brought the pass- engers down. A SERIOUS AFFAIR.—The follow- ing refers to a person well known in this vicinity:—About 7 o'clock last Thursday evening, while Mr Alex. Campbell, a bailiff, of Kincardine, was making a seizure on some stock on the farm of George Ostrum, dear Bervie, and while leading a horse from the barn, Ostrum came towards him, and pulling a revolver out of his pocket when a few feet distant, fired, the ball striking Mr Campbell in the breast. When Mr Campbell saw that the man was desperate, he let go the horse and ran, followed by Oatrum, and when overtaken by him he was fired at again, this time the ball striking him under the shoulder blade. At time of writing the extent of the injuries sustained by Mr Campbell is not known. Ostrum gave himself up to the constable.

MARRIAGE.—On the morning of Wednesday last, the house of one of our citizens was the scene of thee gaiety : %Lae' th usually attendant occasion of e Davis, secon ughter of Mr S IYavis, and Mr H J Callender, formerly of this town, but now residing in Melgund, Man., and son of the late Robt Cal- lendrr, first mayor of Clinton. The bride was tastefully attired in cream Henrietta, trimmed with cream rib- bons, and carried a bouquet of roses and lilies, she was attended by Miss Challie Cooper, also attired in cream. Mr Bert Hodgens acted as grooms- man. The guests, about thirty in number, were friends and relatives, from Goderich, Woodstock and town; a novel feature was the presence of the grandparents of both bride and groom. After partaking of a delight- ful repast the young and happy couple left on the 2.30 train for Jack- son, Mich., from which place they leave next -week for their home on the praries.

Invited friends to the num- ber of nearly two hundred availed themselves of the hospitality of the Circle, and eubsequently expressed their great pleasure at having been present. Refreshments were served, after one half of the excellent pro- gram provided had been rendered The first part of the program em- braced a reading by Mr. Wm, R Lough, a Trio by Miss and Mr Jack- son and Mr Spaulding, Reading by Mies C Mounteastle, which was so pleasing that she repeated it breves. ial request, Solo by Mr R Foster Reading by M -re I-rwin, Solo by -Kiss Jackson.

The anthems will be selected with reference to the occasion, and the choir will no doubt do their part well. The Hand of Death. Reference has before been made to the serious illness ot Mr W A Cal- bick, and we exceedingly regret that we are this week called upon to an- nounce his death, which to;,k place at New Westminster, B C, on the 12th inat, Deceased was, the third son of Mr John Calbick, of Clinton,. and had reached the age of 50 years and seven days. He was born on the homestead at Holmesville, and resided there for a number of years; latterly he resided at Brussels, which place he left less than a year ago for the west, thinking that a change would benefit his health, but alas for human calculations, the benefit was only of short duration. He was a member of the Methodist church, and leaves a wife and three children. To add to the sorrow of Mr and Mrs John Calbick, the latter of whom hi, quite ill, the further very sad in- telligence was received on Tuesday, that Mrs James Rt ith, (Mr Calbick', third youngest child) had just died at the residence of her brother, G A Calbick, in Itloodyville, B C. Mr Reith only disposed of bis business here about a year ago, at which tim' his wife appeared to be in good heat: with no symptons of consumption, but the disease seems to bave develop- ed rapidly since their removal west, and she passed away at the early age of 30 years and 10 months. She also was born at Hblmesville, and leaves two young children to mourn a mother's love... In early life her heart was placed in the Saviour's •,keeping, and she died trusting in His grace. That Mr Calbick and wife have the sympathy of their many friends in this double bereavement goes without saying, but no one has learned better the source of consola- tion in the hour of trial than they. The death of Mr Wm. McQueen, of the London road, on Sunday, was quite unexpected, he having been up town during the previous week, ap- parently in the enjoyment of as good health as ever. Deceased came from the neighborhood of Glasgow, Scot-- Iand, when but a boy, and with other members of the family•, settling in the township of Ramsay. He subse- quently removed to Stanley. settling on the farm on the London Road now occupied. by Mr Grant. Deceased was a quiet, unobtrusive man, and no one enjoyed the confidence and esteem of his friends to a greater extent than he. He was a member of the Preeby tesianechurch. He leaves a wife but no family. Mrs Glenn, of town, is a sister of his, We regret to announce the death at Owen Sound, of Mrs Taylor, mother of Mrs. Edge, which took place at Owen Sound, on Wednesday. Mr Edge left yesterday to attend the fu- neral, and will return to town on Saturday evening. Another pioneer, after a somewhat protracted illness, has gone to his eternal rest, Mr Henry Young, of this town, passing away on Wednes• day. Deceased was born in Tipper- ary, Ireland, in 1815, and came to this country when a young man ; he served as a soldier during the McKen- zie rebellion, and afterwards settled on a farm on the Tipperary line, in Goderich township, where he lived for forty years; for the last ten years he has lived retired in Clinton; while on ,tate farm he occupied the ration - Bible position of tax collector for 11 years, and was also assessor for ten years. Politically he was a Conser- vative, and although in poor health was taken to tie polls at the late election. He had been a member of the Methodist church for over fifty years, and had served on the official board of the same for a cousiderable time. He leaves a wife and nine children, six sons and three daugh- ters, one having gone before. The funeral takes place this (Friday)after- noon, at 2 o'clock. Clinton Collegiate Institute. Mr J P Doherty was absent from school last week, and when inquiries were made it was found he had taken a trip up north, for the good of his health. Stapleton now has no charms for him. Mr G G Browc, who was one of the noted figures about the Institute, has left to eeek his fortunes in the far west. Mr Brown will be very much missed about the Collegiate, more especially as Secretary of the Literary Society of which he was a very enthusiastic member. His fellow students wish him success. As Miss Hume was unable to take her usual work one day last week, Mr N J McFadden, cf No. 4, kindly consented to take charge. It is whispered by some that Mac aspires to the position of Principal, however, without doubt he made a splendid exhibition of his mental capability. The prospects are that there will be a laage addition to the attendance after Easter. The classes are now very well filled, butaecomodation can always be made for more. The staff, with the Principal, Mr Turnbull, at their bead are giving entire satis- faction, and only require the co- operation of the students to make the school first clasp. ti 3 -SPECIALTIES -3 momm,4an' MILLINERY, MANTL and DRESS 1VVAASING, MISS CURRELL, the noted Dress and Man tle Maker of the Great Cash Store has just re- turned from the Eastern cities, with all the latest styles ; and is now prepared to execute all orders entrusted tolher.
