ODDFELLOWSHII'.—Several of the
ARBOR DAY.—To-day, the 1st of
May, is school arbor day; the Mayor
bas also appointed it for a similar
observance for the town. People
who plant out trees should be careful

SOUTn HURON'S REPRESENTATIVE.—Ari
old Huronite, who was attending the
Local Legislature last week, had the
privilege of hearing the worthy repro-
, aentatrve of South Huron, Alex Bishop,
deliver a speech in the interests of the C
farmers with regard to an insurance
bill. His copious flow of language and d
his neatly couched expressions of prac-
tical common sense riveted the atten-
-tion of both sides of the House.
DIED.FRODf LOCKJAW.—.A couple a
of weeks ago a family named Badore
moved into town. While playing
around, one of the children, aged
about ten years, slipped town and O
ran a sliver in her check. It was w
not removed at the time, and fester G
ed, makiug a bad sore; when a doc-
tor was called in it was found neves- 0
Bary to cut the sliver out, and lock- 0
jaw ensued, from the effects of which t
. she died on Saturday last. A
m
PAINrtTL ACCIDENT.—There is not w
usually much "limp" in the walk of y
Mayor Doherty, but by a slight, yet n
painful accident, he is compelled to th
limp around at present. One of the b
children being sick, Mr Doherty got
up out of bed, the other night, and in
moving the child's bed, the castor fo
caught the toe nail of the great toe, a
• (which of course was unprotected) ha
and tore it up so badly that it was to
necessary to remove the nail altogeth- w
er. It will take some time to Beal,
and in the meantime the Mayor has a
very sore foot, but his indomitable
pluck enables him to attend to his
duties as usual.

he establishment of the order in

illion members in good standing; of
hom over 50000 were initiated last
ear; the revenue of the order is now
early $5,000,000 a year, and over
ree millions were distributed for
enefits alone last year.
I. O. F. CONCERT:—The programs
r this concert this (Friday) evening
re now out and our citzens seldom
ve such an opportunity of listening
such high class talent.,Mrs Cald-
ell sings as her openinSolo "Le
Carnival de Venice," and in this she
has an opportunity of displaying her
magnificent voice to good advantage.
Prof Bohner sings two solos and a
duett with Miss Caldwell. Miss Car-
gill and T W Crawford elocutionists
will each give two selections in their
usual grand style. Dr Oronohyatek-
ha will be present also, and will de-
liver a short address on Forestery.
Our citzens should show their appre-
ciation of the efforts put forth by the
I. 0. F. in bringing such good talent,
and at great expense, by turning out
and hearing one of the best concerts
ever given in our town. The plan of
Hall is at Jackson Bros.
TO VISIT ENGLAND. —Mr. W.
Taylor, of the well-known firm of
Taylor & Sons, intends taking a
trip to the old country about the 20th
of May, and will be accompanied by
his daughter-in-law, Mrs Joseph
Taylor, of Toronto. It is nine years
since Mr Taylor visited the land of
his b rth; and no man deserves a
boli :ay better than our friend, for
he .las given close attention to bus-
h ems, and we hope he will enjoy a
well-earned rest. and come back with
hit physical faculties fully recuperat-
ed. He has wisely procured his
tickets through that popular agent
Mr W Jackson, and goes by the
White Star line.
SHOEING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.—
The other day Mr Oliver Johnston,
blacksmith, accomplished a job of
horse shoeing that was no usual ac-
complishment. Bailiff Campbell, of
Blyth, had purchased a small stallion
down in Stanley, and brought it here
to get shod. It bad been taken to
several blacksmiths elsewhere, and
had so far defied all their efforts to
fasten the shoes on its feet. It was
a high spirited, lively animal, though
it would not kick, but Oliver is a
fellow who never says die, and he
determined to subdue this brute, and
he did. It would jump, plunge, rear
and indulge in all sorts of manoe-
uvere, and had to be thrown a dozen
times at least, but after about three
hours work Mr Johnston succeed-
ed in efficiently shoeing it all around,
and it went out of the shop just as
meek as a lamb.
Din NOT "SIGNAL" IT.—A couple
of persons went to the station on
Monday evening to take the 9.27
train to Goderich. They loitered
around until the train came in and
ran out again, one of them remark-
ing as it did so, "she goes up to the
diamond, and we'll wait until she
backs in." After waiting some time,
and the train showing no signs of
returning, they asked some one how
soon the train would be back. When
informed that it would be back about
7,27 the next morning, what little
hair was on the head of one of them
stood up straight, and he is reported
o have used some unintelligible
word like "damit." One would have
Nought that a man with the know -
edge the editor of the Goderich
ignal professes to have, would have
revented him getting left in thie
ion, but it seems not. A livery
g afterward took them home.
ENTERTAINMENT,—The oft repeat-
ed assertion, that a successful enter-
tainment could not be got up in Clin-
ton, without the aid of music, was
proved untrue, by the evident plea-
sure evinced by the large concourse
of people who a .ended the one given
by Prof. Mounteer and his pupils,
last Tuesday evening. The stage
was prettily decorated. and the Pro-
fessor well up in his various parts,
and above our criticisn'e The pupils
had attained surprising proficiency
for the short time they had been
-studying, which was, we -believe,
one term. The accoustic properties
of our hall, it is well known, are not
of the best,in consequence of which
some could not make themselves
heard in our distant corner, but those
we did hear would have done credit
to a city entertainment, some evincing
very decided talent. Miss Wilson's
rendering of the 'Annuity' was made
very attractive by an excellent immi-
tation of the broad Scotch accent;
Mise Nettie Combe, as the' young
lady who was jilted, and Miss Hattie
Rumball, in the 'Pride of Battery B,'
both rendered their pieces in a man-
ner pleasing to the audience, as did
Wes Mountcastle, in the vivid manner
in which she portrayed the anguish
of the settler's wife at the protracted
absence of her husband. We regret
that the sudden indisposition of Mr
Lough interfered somewhat with an
excellent rendering of 'Our travelled
parson,' but he concluded his recita-
tion with a fervor and pathos that
must have gone to the hearts of all.
Mr Elford, in ' Wakin' the younguns,'
ehowed himself equal to the occasion,
and did his part, well. Miss Doan,
in the 'Wishing Bridge,' and Miss e
Leslie, in 'The Time to Die,' each a
performed their parts with credit to t
themselves. The program closed by t
Miss Mountcastle reading a compost- A
tion of her own, 'The Laughing s
Chorus,' amid peals of laughter. It in
was a moat enjoyable evening, and 81
the proceeds, amounting to $50, after °
all expenses were paid, were handed to
over to the W C T U, for the benefit b
of the poor of the town.

l BARGAIN
DAY l DAY
Last Saturday was bargain day, and there were bargains
in reality. Hundreds of buyers visited our store and
went home with smiling faces. They found that our
announcement of Saturday Bargain day was a reality.
We must apologize to the many customers that were ob
liged to leave without being waited upon. This will not
art I so that every one who conies will be waited upon
"Does Christianity Pay" was the
subject of a practical address given by
Mr W R Lough, at the Young
People's meeting, in Rattenbury St
church, on Monday evening. The
arguments advanced affirmatively,
were all scriptural, and she conclu-
sion reached, the only one that
could be reached in the consideration
of such a subject, viz:—That Chris-
tianity always pays.
PRESBYTERY.—At a meeting of the
Presbytery of Huron, held in London
during the meeting of Synod, the Rev
J 5 Henderson, of Hensall, asked
and obtained leave of absence for
three months, and Rev Mr Fletcher,
of Thames Road; was temporarily
appointed moderator in his place.
Mr Henderson intends to visit the
Pacific coast. Rev Mr Anderson, of
Goderich, was appointed moderator
of the session of Leeburn and Union
Church, Goderich township, during
the vacancy.
The Toronto papers of Monday
contained this paragraph:—"Rev A
H Ranton, a Methodist minister, of
Ottawa, who same to the city a few
days ago on business, was assaulted in
a brutal manner while walking down
Centre street at 5 o'clock on Saturday
afternoon by three men. Mr Ranton
was severely injured, being knocked
down and kicked, his face cut, his
hand bitten and phis clothes torn.
The attack was entirely unprovoked
and was completed before the unfor-
tunate clergyman could be rescued by
P C Chapman, who had seen the
whole affair from a neighboring
house." The only minister of this
name and the same initials, as far as
known, is Mr Rauton, the e5ange-
liet, who was laboring here a few
months ago, but, as his address is
Vicksburg, 111, and he was known to
be there last week, it is thought there
must be some mistake about the
name. Of course it is possible that
it is the same person, but it would
require three pretty gond men whn
could get away with biro, as he has
often been attacked before, and al
ways came out best man. [Since
this was in type, we learn:that it was
Mr Ranton, of Vicksburg, he being
on his way to Ottawa.
Mr J W Green,and wife late of the
Parkhill ,Tazette, are here on a visit.
Before leaving that place Mr. Green
was the recipient of a handsome gold
watch at the hands of the villagers,
as a token of their good will.

Clinton Masonic Lodge, was entertain-
ed by his brethren, and other friends.
to a complimentary supper at the Grand
Union Hotel, as a mark of esteem, on
the eve of his departure for Superior
City, Wis., where he purposes taking up
his residence. Mr. Ballard has lived
here for over five years, and has been
Secretary of the Masonic Lodge for
some time. His kind and gentlemanly
manner won for him the highest esteem
of his brethren, and confidence of his
friends, who took this occasion to ex-
press their regret for the loss of so esti-
mable a brother, and so true an associ-
a and unite in wishing him the great-
st osperity in his new home. The
