EARLY. — Mr John Plewes, on
Saturday, left us a sprig of Russian
Lilac that was out in bloom. This
is pretty early.
TELEPHONES.—Mr W Jackson and
Dr Gunn have added telephones to
their residences. These handy little
instruments are becoming universal,
and are a wonderful labor saver.
Row'nYisM.—One night last week
a young man who was under the in-
Iaence of liquor, went into a store
nd made himself exceedingly obnox-
ious. by the use of bad language.
The lady in charge was naturally
frightened, but refused to appear
against the young man and have him
prosecuted, as she should have done.
RECOVERED.—Some time ago a
private subscription was raised for
the purpose of sending a man named
Oliver to London for medical treat-
ment. He had become blind through
illness, and was unable ' to provide
for his family. We understand that
he has entirely recovered, and is now
employed at St Thomas, to which
place his family has removed,
THE Elf ANGELICAL CONFERENCE.
—The Evangelical Conference bas
just concluded its seseions at Credi-
ton, Huron County. A Committee
was appointed to meet a similar Com-
mittee appointed by the Methodist
Church, to arrange a basis of union
for the two bodies of Canada. Five
young.men were ordained before
the Conference was brought to a
close.
ENTERTAINMENT.—A literary en.
tertainment, for charitable purposes,
will be given in the town hall, on
Tuesday, April 28th, by professor
Mounteer and his pupils. The pro -
Noes. --Mayor Doherty and wife
spent Sunday in Goderich, The
wife of Mr Arthur McQrae was taken
seriously ill on Saturday afternoon,
and for .a time her recovery was
doubtful, but we are pleased to
state that she is now fairly out of
dagger. Mr Albert Petty, of Gode-
rich, spent Sunday in town; al-
though he works in Goderich, they
say his h(e)art is here. Mr Alfred
Bette, of Detroit, is visiting here.
Mrs R Hale is spending a few weeks
with her son, in Chicago. The Do-
bertypOrgan Factory hands are work-
ing full time to All orders. Reeve
Manning spent Sunday in Exeter,
where his wife had been visiting.
Arbor Day will soon be here. Mr W
d Hine will assist Mr J Cuninghame
in the management of his new store.
Mr T Detlor, late of Clinton, who
has been carrying on a business in
the dry goods line at Lucknow, has,
we believe, closed his shop, and In-
tends in the near future to move out
to British Columbia. Mr Joseph
Managhan, formerly of town, has just
moved from Bay City to East Portland,
Oregon. The estate of the late W
H Cooper pays a dividend of 2 cents
on the dollar. Mr W Jackson en-
joyed a trip to St Louie last week.
Mr C Coates, of Seaforth, 'spent Sun-
day among his old friends here. Mr
T C Sparring, of this town, has
bought out the restaurant business
of Mr John Kerr, of Wingham; Tom
should be able to make a success of
it, as he is a steady, industrious
young man. Mr Geo Pickett is
erecting a large frame house on Al-
bert St, north. Mr J W Riter has
rented the new store adjoiningWatt's,
and will shortly move his stock there-
to. The regular meeting of the
Royal Templars will be held to -night
(Friday.) The poles are all in place
for the electric light extension up
Albert St, and the wires will be im•
mediately put in position; it will be
a great convenience to people. Ten
initiations look place at the meeting
of the Home Circle on Tuesday
night. Some people think that a
one cent stamp attached to a piece
of card board hill go through the
mai1Q in lieu of a post card; this is a
mistake, as four..Cents is charged to
any person receiving a note in the
form referred to. W -H Ransford,
of Boston, was shaking hands with
old friends here, on Tuesday. Mr
Tipling has sold twenty waggons this
spring; that's the benefit of advertis-
ing. Mr G Tedford's family move

has been working for some time; the

The ball in the town hall, on Tues-
day evening, w's largely attended,
many from outside places .being pre-
sent. Alluding to the death of Rev
T. Macpherson, of Stratford, last
week, the Herald of that city refers
to a resolution passed at a school
board meeting in 1851, "Moved by

Mr Rodney Adams, of the Bayfield
Road near Goderich, has in his posses-
sion eleven head of fowl—hens and
roosters— which weigh 135 pounds,
or an average of 12 and a fraction
pounds each.
On Wednesday of last week one of
those happy events which sets young
hearts in a flutter took place at the resi-
dence of James Lawrence of Morris, it
being the marriage of his eldest daugh-
ter, Nettie, to Basil Coultes son of
J. Coultes' of East Wawanoeh.
The Usborne and Stephen spring
fair, held at Exeter, Ont., on Thursday,
was very successful. There wasa large
show of blood horses, also of heavy
draught and other classes of horses.
The show of bulls was not very large;
but included some very fine animals.
ow Mr Wm Cudmore, of the London
Road, Tuckersmith, lost a valuable
horse last week from rupture. This
horse was one of a large team used by
Mr Cudmore on the hay press. He
was a good animal and his death will
be a considerable loss to his esteemed
and enterprising owner.
Owing to needed rest Rev B Boubat,
formerly parish priest at Goderich
and Kingsbridge. will leave his present
charge at Wal�kerville and henceforth
reside in Dungannon. His friends in
this section, although regretting his
illness, will be pleased to see the Rev.
gentleman amongst them once more.
Vancouver World:—"It is with much
regret that many will learn of the sud-
den death of Miss Jane Longworth,
sister-in-law of Hon Jno Robson, who

late Major Longworth, who served with
distinction at Waterloo, and afterwarde.

Longworth was a most amiable lady of

large circle of friends."
On Wednesday evening, what might
have been a fatal accident happened to
Wm Miller, son of Mr Jas Miller, of
Wingham. After tea, William and
his brother wore fooling with a revolver
at their home, when Peter fired the
revolver off in the air, when by some
meanslit went off again, the ball enter-
ing William's left breast, penetrating
the skin just below the nipple and tak-
ing a downward course for about two
inches. Medical aid was secured at
once and the bullet removed.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.—The St.
Catharines News, 'published by E J
Leavenworth (brother of Mrs R
Holmes, Clinton) has been sold to a
joint stock company, who purpose
turning it into a Conservative paper.
The Parkhill Gazette, owned by Mr
J W Green, (son-in-law of Mr John
Croll) has been sold to Mr White, of
Windsor, formerly of the Blyth Stan-
dard. It is reported that Mr Green
will go to the Northwest and start a
paper in the Temperance Colony. ,
THE FALL WHEAT.—Nearly every
one spoken to on the subject, express-
es the opinion that "they never saw
fall wheat looking better in their
life" than it is just at the present
time. There may be a little exuber-
ance of language in this expression,
but it is nevertheless the pleasing
fact that fall wheat bas passed
through the winter and critical spring
in splendid order. It is salong since
there bas been a real good, old fash-
ioned crop of fall wheat in this
section, that it is no wonder the pres-
ent bright prospects are assuring.
A Goon BERTEL—The friends in
this section; of "Steve" Perry, who
formerly ran as an express messenger
between Goderich and Buffalo, will
be glad , to know that be has just
been appointed to a more lucrative
and responsible position. For 17
years he has been the local manager
of the American Express Company
in St Thomas, and has received the
appointment of route agent for the
territory west of Hamil on for the
new Ontario Merchants' Express
Company, at a salary of about $2,000

Callander, of Parkersburg, Va., died
on Monday. of typhoid fever; he was a
brother of Messrs Austin and Calvin
Callander, formerly of Clinton, and
had been married for about a year;

ONLY TEN YEARS.—Chester W
7'ourex, the forger and titaness oat
and grain swindler, who pleaded
guilty to four indictments, was sen-
tenced to ten years in Penitentiary,
at Belleville on Thursday, on each
count, the sentences to rnn concur-
rently. He will have time to do
some serious thinking now.
DEATH. — Mr John Dowzer,. of
whose illness meution has before been
made, passed happily away on Mon-
day morning. Deceased has hardly
enjoyed good health during the year
be has resided here, being troubled
with what is known as Gravesaf-
fection of the heart,'" and which was
the ifnmediate cause of his death.
Before, coming here he resided in
Brucefield for a couple of years, prior
to which time he lived in Grey town-
ship. He was of a quiet retiring
disposition, and those who knew him
here, eaeak highly of him. He was
a member of the Presbyteian church.
Belonging to the society of Royal
Temalars, he carried an insurance
of $2000 on his life therein, He
leaves a wife and family of eleven
children.
Sales in this department

Over eight years ago Wm Barrie of
Morris, lost a silver watch, bunting
ease, that he had purchased a few
months previously., Ile searched dili-
gently for a long time for the missing
article but found no trace of it until
last week. A son of Thos Maunders
while attending school at Barrie's
school house picked up a watch on the
side of the sideroad adjoining the con-
cession and it turns out to be the long
lost time piece. Mr Barrie held the
gnarantee from T -Fletcher, of Brussels,
from whom the watch was purchased,
and the numbers correspond. The in-
ternal machinery is almost useless on
account of rust but the cases are not in
bad repair considering the length of
time that has elapsed since it was lost.
The mystery is that it was not found
long ago.
The people of Blyth and vicinity will
regret to learn that Dr Sloan is about
leaving Blyth to take up his residence
in Toronto. The doctor has disposed of
his handsome residence to Mr H. Buie,
of Montreal, and proposes removing at
once. He is one of the oldest residents
of tuat place, and has always taken an
active interest in every enterprise cal-
culated to advance its interests. He
has, also, for many years enjoyed a
very large practise in his profession and
is perhaps, one of the most widely
known !nen in the county. His remov-
al -will be a loss not alone to Blyth but
the county of Huron. We understand
Dr Sloan goes to engage in the furni-
ture manufacturing business, and he
will have the good wishes of everyone
for success in his new enterprise.
I: O. F.—The concert under the
su+picea of the I 0 F promises to be
one of the grandest musical events
ever given in this section. The sale
of seats has already commenced, and
the rapidity with which they are be-
ing taken, is evidence that the efforts
of the 1 0 F, in bringing such good
talent is appreciated. Mrs Caldwell,
who is without a rival, has a most
magnificent voice, pure, clear, and of
exceeding delicacy, and is more like
the voice of a bird than of a human
being. Prof. Bonheur, tenor, of To-
ronto, is also an accomplished singer,
meeting with success everywhere.—
Miss Cargill, of Wingham, and T. W.
Crawford, of London, both appear
for the first time before a Clinton au-
dience, and we have not the slightest
doubt will uphold their web estab-
lished reputation.
CLINTON BOYCOTTED.—A business
gentleman, who was in the place
referred to yesterday informs us that
ll ll Wilson's firm is paying 31 cents
for eggs in Kinburn and Varna, 12
cents in Seaforth and only 10 in
Clinton. We can give no reason for
the discrimination, hut it should not
exist and Clinton traders should not
allow themselves to he boycotted in
this way.—News Record. f Certainly
Clinton should not be boycotted un-
der any circumstances, hut if they
are paying "31 cents" for eggs at
Kinburn and Varna, as stated by
our cotemporary, we would advise
everybody to take their eggs there.
Of course our cotem cannot be astray
in its figures. This is nearly as bad
as a funeral circular recently dis-
tributed in town, which made a
certain person die in the year "l991."
