from Flint, Mich, where he has been
for a couple of weeks. He states
that times there are pretty lively,
'the Clintonians in the city are doing
well, and it is possible he may go

FALL WHEAT—The weather has
been generally favorable for the fall
wheat, and all reports speak hopefully
of its condition at present. One or
two nights have been experienced that
were unfavorable, but so far no par-
ticular damage has been done. The
late rains will have a decidedly good
effect on the grain.
SPRING+ OP:'NINOs.—Our business
men announce their millinery show-
room openings for to -morrow (Satur-
day.) They all have the reputation
of making beautiful and tasty dis-
plays in this particular branch of
business, and we feel confident that
our lady friends will on this occasion
'see the very latest styles and most
choice goods suitable for headwear.
A NARROW ESCAPE.—The Gode-
rich Star thus speaks of a native
Clintonian:—A son of Mr D R Men-
zies, of the Goderich Organ Factory,
with some other boys were at the
dock on Sunday, inspecting the craft
there; the ice being weak gave in,
and young Menzies sank and but for
the presence of mind and adroitness
of Horace Bayley, who threw him a
line from the tug, would undoubted-
ly have lost his life, the water being
so cold.
HONonertY—In looking over the
list of students who passed their ex-
amination at the Ontario Veterinary
College, we noticed the name of Mr
George Beacom, Clinton, among the
honorary membera. He succeeded in
obtaining . honors in Anatomy and
third prize in Pathology. This speaks
well of our friend, and we predict that
in the following spring he will be as
successful in obtaining his diploma,
which will give him authority to
practice the veterinary science. He
is at present practicing with our pop-
ular Vet., Dr Plackall.
Aere NoWLED(EMENT. — During
the illness of the late S Fitzsimons,
his brethren of court No. 16 C 0 F,
were very attentive to him, and did
all they could in ministering to his
wants. He also received the advan-
tage of the sick benefits of the order.
Hie insurance in the order, of $1000,
was paid within 10 days after his
death, showing exceptional prompti-
tude, and Mrs Fitzsimons gratefully
acknowledged by, letter the receipt
thereof, and also the great kindness
shown her late husband.

The etory of Exeter wastold in Leong,
ip reepousive scripture readings, in
poems recited by several pupils of the
iehool, and in a ten minutes sermon
by Rev. John Scott, of Wingham.—
The service was excellent throughout
and watt heartily entered into and en-
joyed by the entire school. The mu -
deal selections were strikingly good,
and under Mr Sibley's leadership,
faultlessly rendered. It was a rare
pleasure to listen to the many child-
ren singing so heartily the Easter
carols, and mingling their sweet
voicea in such a volume of joyous
praise.
HARP LINE&—The Stratford Sun
and Mitchell Advertiser have both
come to grief, and are now among the
things of the pant. As a matter of
fact there never was room for either
of them, the field in each place be-
ing already well filled, and while we
are sorry that their proprietors find
it necessary to stop publication, it is
only the fulfilment of one of the
inevitable laws of trade, the survival
of the fittest. Rather suggestive too,
that both papers should have been
with the party that boast of every-
thing being prosperous.
THE CENSUS.—NOW that the cen-
sus is about to be taken some inform-
ation about it may not be amiss.
The work will commence on April
6th. The statistical year ends on
that date. For instance, a birth, say
on April 7th. will .not be included in
the record. This also will apply to
deaths. Any one dying on the 7th
or 8th, and the enumerator calling on
the 9th will not be recorded as dead.
Farmers will have to answer the fol-
lowing:—Amount of stock, cattle,
sheep, mileh cows, horses, number of
pounds of butter made, acres of
spring wheat, fall wheat and otber
grains, also average per acre last
year. If he keeps bees, the.,pounda of'
honey made, or any other product
that he may have on his farm. The
Act dealing with census returns says
that for else information or refusal
the e s 11 be a penally of from $5 to
$40.
A HURONITE OUT WEST.—The
Oberlin, Ohio, Review, is a paper,
issued at the college bearing that
name, and from its columns we take
the following, the Mr Gray alluded
to being a Huron boy, son of Mr
Stephen Gray, of Hullett, and form-
er student of Clinton Collegiate. The
Review says:—The special attraction
last Wednesday was the Sophomore
Quarterly Debate. The Society was
favored with one of the best and most
interesting debates which°it;has been
our fortune to bear. The question
was, Resolved. That the Exigencies
of the Times Demand a New Party.
Mr Pittenger and Mr Reddick be•
lieved that such was the case, but
Mr Cowles disagreed with thein.
When Mr Pittenger had pictured in
powerful language the corruption of
present parties, charging them with
rings, pools, frauds, steals and ap-
pealed for a new party, we turned to-
ward the negative. Soon we heard
Gray's, Mr President; he acknowledg-
ed present corruption, but he was
there to reform the criminal not to
kill him. His arguments were strong,
he proved to us that outside of the
present parties we find no causes at
work which can or ever did bring
unsuccessful parties into the field.
As Gray warmed to his /subject we
could see be meant what he said.
He pictured in glowing terms the
folly of separate organizations when
either old party stands ready to assist,
also the hopelessness of a new party
in the present field. In this debate
Gray departed from his straight for-
ward, matter of fact maner, and be-
came infused with his subject. Of
course one side of necessity received
the favorable decision of the judges
who favored, by a two thirds vote,
the negative.
Church Notes.
There was an exchange of pulpits
between Revs Messrs Stewart and
Ramsay, of Londesboro, on Sunday.
The usual monthly fellowship
meeting will be held in both Ratten-
bury and Ontario St churches, before
service, on Sunday next.
The last of the course of lectures on
the Prophecies of Daniel and Revela-
tion will be given on Friday night, in
the Baptist church, Subject, "The
Milleninm and the great white throne"
Admission free; collection on behalf of
church expenses.
On Monday evening next there
will be a union meeting of the Young
People's Associations of Rattenbury
Street church and that of Willis
church, in the rooms of the latter.
The gatelaering will be addressed by
Rev Mr Shilton.
Rev. John Scott, of Wingham, ochu-
pied the pulpit of Rattenbnry Street
Chnrch, Easter Sunday. His sermons
were full of deep spiritual thought, very
appropriate for Easter, and were much
appreciated by the large congregations
who listened to them. The floral de-
corations were beautiful.
The friends of Rev W W Sperling
will be sorry to learn that be con-
tinues in poor health, with symptoms
that are regarded as unfavorable.
His work at Teeswater was supplied
few him on Sunday by Mr J Young.
R Holmes also supplied for Rev J
Livingstone, of Listowel, on Sunday.
Mr A L Budge, well-known as a
late student at the Collegiate, and
one of the best workers in connection
with the young people of Willis
church, has been appointed by the
Home Mission Committee of the
Presbyterian church, to labor in
Barrie district during the summer
months.
At the Easter Vestry meeting of
St. Paul's church Mr Ferran was an -
pointed Rector's Warden; WJaekson
People's Warden; John Ransford ani
S G Plummer, lay delegates; Fred
Alcock, Vestry clerk. The financial
statement: was held over till the ad-
journed vestry meeting. -
Rev A 11 Drumm has been ap-
pointed to labor in British Columbia,
in connection with the Presbyterian
church. He is undecided whether to
accept it or not, as it depends on
whereabouts be may be located, if on
the coast, where dry, he may accept;
if inland, where the climate is damp,
his health will not permit him to
take it.
The Easter Carol service of the
Rattenbury Street Methodist Sunday
School was most enjoyable. The
COMMENDATION .—The Wingham
Times kindly Bays:—The Advance is
greatly exercised over some items
sent from town to the Clinton New
ERA and Goderich Signal, by the
correspondents of those papers. It is
true that these gentlemen have drawn
upon their imaginations to a certain
extent, but we do not believe there
has been a wilful attempt made to
injure eitber the town or its inhabit -
ante; on the part of these scribes.
[Speakingfor our own correspond-
ents, in ingham and elsewhere, we
may say that they are always request-
ed to hustle to the best of their abil-
ity, but above all else, only to send
items that are reliable, and we say it
with pleasure, tat but eery, _rarely,
has confidence a 'them evebeen
abased. A newspaper is to much
dependent on the honor of its cor•
seapendents, and as a rule these
persona, realizing their obligations,
act accordingly.
Though the weather was anything
but agreeable, and the roads very
muddy, there was a good turnout at
the social last Tuesday evening, held
at the Rattenbury street Methodist
church parsonage, under the auspices
of the W F M S. Mr and Mrs Shilton,
as host and hostess, did all in their
power to make the company feel at
home and have a pleasant time, and
their efforts were entirely successful,
as every one appeared to enjoy them-
selves to the fullest extent. Refesh-
ments were served between the first
and last parts of the program, which
was not too long, and consisted of
readings by Misses Hattie Rumball
and Mary Lough and Messrs Lough
and Bruce, Mrs Marcy and Mr Sibley
each sang a solo and Mrs Chown and
Mr Sibley gave a duet, Mids Ida Boles
presided at the piano. Miss Clara
Mountcastle did her part towards
entertaining the gathering by read-
ing several pieces in a manner inter-
esting to grave and gay alike.
All who were present at the song
service on Easter evening, at the On-
tario St Methodist church, must have
greatly enjoyed the rich musical treat
Lovely flowers lent their beauty and
fragrance, while the delightful har-
mony of Easter anthems inspired feel-
ings of reverent worship of the risen
Saviour of men. The musical selec-
tions were excellently rendered. Mr
Foster and Mr Scott contributed the
addresses, the former speaking on the
resurrection of Christ as a historical
fact, while Mr Scott took for his top-
ic, "Lazarus raised, Christ risen," and
discussing it contrasted the means
used by the prophets, by the apostles,
and by Christ: himself in restoring the
dead sons of men to life, with the in-
visible means employed in the resur-
rection of the Son of God, "who laid
down his life that he might take it
again," never to yield it up. All was
done to the intent that we might be-
lieve in Him who is the resurrection
and the life, and that we might have
that life through His name.
THE DETECTIVE'S STORY.
Yourex's Steps In Devious
Paths—Stubborn facts as
Thrilling as Modern
Romance.
Government' Detective Joseph
Rogers, who has recently returned
from Germany, bringing with him a
confessed forger, tells a story of his
capture which reads alike a cllapter
from "Old Sleotb;" or Pinkerton,
only what Detective Rogers relates
is founded on facts. He says:—"In
the latter part of last November the
Bank of Commerce, at Belleville, and
the Merchant's Bank cashed three
drafts, for $200 apiece, supposing
them to have been made out by
the private bank of R. and J. Fox in
favor of C. W. Yourex. This man
Yourex was a farmer who went into
the hull -lees oats business. He start-
ed at Belleville ° and then went to
London and through Middlesex.
Upon these drafts being sent to the
office at Parkhill—they were made
payable at the Parkhill branch of
the Bank of Commerce—they were
there declared to be forgeries. You -
rex, in the meantime, had left the
country and search was being made
for him. A cablegram was received
from Bremen, Germany, stating that
Yourex was held there on charges of
forgery and fraud committed in On-
tario. Extradition proceedings were
taken by the banks and I went there
to extradite him." The story of his
arrest is then as follows: Yourex
left Belleville the morning after he
cashed the drafts and proceeded to
New York, whence he proceeded to
Bremen, Germany. While in New
York be purchased a walking stick
with a brass head, and when he
reached Bremen he went to a jeweler
and had his name, "C. W. Yourex,
Belleville, Ont., Canada." engraved
on it. He also bought a pair of
skates and an ice hook. He settled
his bill at the hotel and then left for
a second hostelry. He went down to
the River Weiser to have a skate, and
finding a hole in the ice he took his
walking stick and several lettere ad-
dressed to people in Bremen and left
the various articles near the crevice.
This was done to convey the impres-
sion that he bad been drowned, and
put an end to further search. He
then went ashore and told one of
the residents that a man had been
drowned in the river, and together
they went to the police station. The
sergeant there sent him to Detective
Boening, the only officer there who
could speak English. Boening asked
Yourex his name, and the latter re-
plied that it was D. S. King,and that
he came from Whitechapel, London,
England; that he was a bricklayer by
trade. The detective disbelieved the
whole story,and Yourex was searched.
Upon his person was found a gold
watch, bearing the name "C. W.
Yourex, Belleville, Out., Can!'
'Then the detective said, "I must
arrest you for the murder of the man
who went through the ice; we will
have to hold you." Yourex, finding
himself in a tighter box than ever,
confessed to his forgeries in Canada,
and that his story was a blind to
cover up his tracks. He also said
that he had insured his life for $12,-
000 before leaving Canada, and
thought his wife who held the policies
would receive the money upon infor-
mation of his supposed death. A
number of notes and forged drafts
similar to those passed in Belleville
were also found in his possession.
He admitted that be had forged these
drafts. He had a book of a thousand
printed in London, Ont. He had
procured from Mr Fox a genuine
draft for $200, and by a method of
tracing had made copiee of this.
He had worked his other forgeries in
the same way. Yourex, who is now
in jail at Belleville, was brought
back from Germany by' Detective
Rogers recently.
