A FINE RAIN.—The finest shower of rain experienced in this section, this year, was that which fell all day Friday. The country was badly in weed of it, and it will do an incred- , Ible amount of 'good. It was ac- companied by a high wind that did 'considerable damage to .fruit trees, several in town being blown com- pletely over. No BAND.—This town is at present 'without an organized band in its midst. It takes a considerable am- ount of time and money to keep a good band going, and as the mem- hers are expected -to play for 'a good many entertainments without aied' . suitable equivalent, we are not sur- prised that they get tof this sort of thing. All the same we would like to see a band in existence. The Junior Beaver lacrosse club, of Seaforth, and the Junior Dauntless of Clinton, play a champion match hereto day (Friday) Charlie Blackbtone, an old Clinton. Ian; has undertaken the training of a new band to be organized in Goder- icb; he is well qualified therefor. Mr James Grant has been nursing a sprained foot for several days, the result of falling backwards over ° a knoll of. earth; it is now about better. Cantelon Bros have evidently work- ed up an extensive fruit trade, as they ship large quantities every day, and will continue to do so while the sea- son lasts. Mr D B Kennedy, who was recov- ering from his late illness, has suffer- ed a relapse, and is again confined to his room; we hope to hear of his speedy recovery. Mr D. Cantelon left on Monday morning,on a week's tour of the Lake Erie counties, to see what the pros pects are in the apple line, He ex- pects to return on Saturday. Mr C Hoare is offering as a special prize, one of his improved dulcimers valued at $15,for best performance on the same; to be competed for at the fall fair. See fair prize List. A rare chance. Mr W. McGee having severed his connectirgn with the Doherty Organ Factory, Mr Wilbur Manning has been promoted to his position; Mr J P Doherty has also entered the office of the factory. The Rev Mr Learoyd, of Windsor, (father of Mr Learoyd, of town) per- formed ten marriaces on the glorious Fourth. It is such events as these that make ministers anxious to get located in Windsor. p nang' of t liow 0atool�c Au • Iaoposiug and Ifttpl;'e$sive Ceremor;y. Miss 'Mary, Howell, daughter of the Rev J E Howell, M A., recently transferred from Berlin to Goderich, met with quite a severe and painful accident on the way to Goderich. While looking out of the window a spark from the locomotive struck her in the eye, burning her face quite severely. The attendance of two physicians was required to relieve her. on their arrival at Goderich. The injury was not dangerous, though • very painful: THE COLLEGIATE,—The Collegiate closed down on Monday of last week, thus giving candidates a week to re- view their work before the examin- tion for certificates, which commenc, ed on Tuesday. Miss Hume left to spend her htllideyS in Galt; Mr Bur- gers, mathematical master, will not return after the holidays, as he in- tends to study law. A substitute for him bas not yet been engaged, but will be before the school reopens. MAIL MATTER BURNED.—It is possible that some of our readers have been disappointed in not re- :ceiving answers to letters sent to friends in Manitoba, several weeks acro. The reason may be due to the burning of a mail car, which happen- ed near Sudbury. We know several persons who mailed parcels at that time, which are supposed to have gone up in smoke, and we had a number of requests from our Mani- toba subscribers for copies of a cen- tain issue that never reached them. HOTEL CHANGE. — That well- known, well- kept, prosperous, and very popular establishment in Lon- don, known as the Grigg House, bas changed hands, Mr Hnsman, of Windsor, becoming proprietor. Its late proprietor, Mr Sam Grigg, and its popular manager, Mr Thos Grigg, are both native Clintonians, and we are violating no confidence when we say that the change is•due solely and 'entirely to conscientious scruples, Mr S. Grigg having come to the conclusion that he will he better out of the business than in it. That considerable interest was talc -1 en in the opening ceremony of the' new Catholic Church, in this town, on Dominion Day, was evident from the large number who gathered there to witness it. As is known to all our town readers, the church has been thoroughly overhauled, and preaents ed a neat appearance. Shortly after 10 a m, the Rt Rev Dr O'Connor, of London, commenced the dedication services, being assisted therein by Rev Dr Kilroy, of Stratford, and Rev {Intended ter last wash;.)

There was very little in his remarks but what the most rigid protectants could give their cordial assent to. At its close the following address was presented him:— Miss im— Rr. REV. DENNISO'CONNOR, D. D. MY LORD: —We, the members of the Catholic Church, Clinton, tender to you a most hearty welcome, yea, a thousand welcomes, to our new church which you have blessed and dedicated for the honor and glory of God. We feel proud of this handsome and comfortable church, situ• ated as it is, in the heart of the town, and we hope. My Lord, that in this respect you share our sentiments. You will be pleased to know that the Protestants of this town and vicinity have been most generous to us, and thus mani- fest by their conduct one of the brightest virtures of the Christian character, viz, that of charity. Naythese good feelings ever continue. We are pleased to have our chief pastor now in our midst, and hope he may be permitted to remain long to fulfil the position for which he 1s so well fitted. We ask in conclusion your Lordship's blessing. We remain your loving children. Signed in behalf of the congregation TIIOB CARRERT OWEN FLYNN JAB REYNOLDS D BIIANNAEAN •Il O'BRIEN. He cordially thanked them for the address, and expressed, his sincere pleasure to the Protestants for their manifestations of good will and Chris- tian charity in aiding the fitting up of the church, hoping that such brotherly feelings would always pre- vaik The very excellent choir of St Joseph's church, Stratford, aided in the opening services. Father West, who has charge of this parish, did not take a part in the opening exer- cises; it is through his personal zeal and energy, however, that his con- gregation have secured the eligible and commodious building for wor• ship, and he is entitled to credit for his efforts, and we venture to say that all who have been brought into con- tact with him in any business rela- toins, can but speak in the highest terms of him. In the evening a sacred concert was given by the Stratford choir, collec- tively and individually, and those who listened thereto were very much pleased. An address by Rev Dr Kilroy brought the entertainment to a close. The proceeds of the opening and concert amounted to $210. For the present service will be held every third Sunday, as has been the rule where the place of worship was in the country. Mr Horace Foster, of Clinton, who is regarded as one of the very best photographers in the Dominion, spends moat ot next week attending the convention of the Photographers' Association of Americajwhich .assem- bles in Buffalo. He may pick up new ideas there. At St.Thomas, four years ago, Mrs Zealand, and others, lost their lives by a railroad accident, and a similar accident was almost repeated at the same spot last week. The superin- tefrdent of the road, who witnessed the latter, immediately dismissed every employee on the train for their carelessness. GOOD TO BE THERE.—There is a citizen in Clinton, who states that he has picked up gold dust in Austra- lia as freely as he could pick up sand in Clinton. We would like much to roam awhile upon such plains, and gather in that to which nations pay tribute, viz the mighty £ S D. STREET WoRL.--The Street Com- mittee has this year laid down be- tween old and new, about a mile and a half of sidewalk, and put 105 loads of gravel on the streets, at a cost of $1575. There are several places yet where the bad walks will be put in proper order, and when completed nearly all the walks around town will be in a splendid pondition. The original appropriation for streets and sidewalks this year, was $1700, and the oouncil added $300 to' this am- ount on Monday to complete all the work deemed necessary. Mr Plummer bas done exactly what we predicted to would, viz:—Made an excellent chairman to the street committee, having devoted a great deal of time to the supervision of the work, and his efforts have been ably seconded by the members of the Committee.

A SAD MESSAGE. -0o Sunday last Mrs S Wilson, of town, had visiting her, her mother, Mrs• McGuire, of Wingham, accomppnied by her son and daughter; they stated that Mr McGuire was rather poorly, but thought it only a slightindispositron, however, on the Monday following' Mrs Wilson received a telegram stat- ing that her father was dead. The Clinton Victoria Cricket Club were on Wednesday visited by a com- bination, a picked team from Forest, St. Mary's, Sarnia, Petrolea, Wyom- ing and Exeter, and the home team were victorious by one run and two wickets. The visitors are making a tour of Western Ontario, playing at Exeter yesterday,and from there they go ' to London to meet the London club, the London Asylum club, also the Woodstock tenth. Their team is a very strong one and our boys may feel proud of their victory. NEw PREBBES. — The Wingham Times has put in a Prouty press, and promises to make other improve- ments at an early day. The Times ie a good paper, but the Wingham business men do not appear to anp- port their papers se they shoffld; good papers cannot be published any- where unless they are well patro- nized. The Seaforth Expositor is also putting in an improved Wharf - dale press, to accommodate its in- creased requirements. The papers of Huron are well to the front with improved machinery. Out of 13 offices, five print by steam, three by band power presses, and the bal- ance by the regulation band press.

A garden party, under the auspices ot the Mission Band, of Rattenbury St Church, will be held at the resi- dence of Mayor Doherty, on Tuesday evening next. The twelfth quarterly meeting of th e Stanley, Tuokersmith and Hay Sab- bath School Association will be held on Tuesday, July 21st, 1891, in the Presbyterian church, Bayfield. It has been decided to bold the picnic of Rattenbury St S S at Kip - pen this year, in a pleasant grove adjacent to the station, on the 21st inst. The tare will be 10 and 30c. Rev Mr Jones, late of Syracuse, N Y, has been visiting his brother, Mr Wm Jones, for a few days, and occupied the pulpit of Rattenbury St church, on Sunday evening, giv- ing an excellent discourse, and one that was listened to with pleasure and profit." The Masons of Clinton, accompan- ied by brethren from neighboring lodges, inlregalia, attended service in the town hall last Sabbath afternoon, which was filled to the -doors, many people not being able to get in. The sermon was preached by Rev James Livingstone, of Listowel, and was ah eloquent exposition of the principles of the order. The choir of Ratten- bury St church furnished music dur- ing the exercises. The Hanover Post oflast week says: —"The Rev Jos Galloway preached his farewell sermon last Sunday even• ing to a large congregation. The dif- ferent denominations in town were largely represented. Mr and Mrs Galloway have made a host of friends for themselves during their three years stay in Honover. They started for Clinton yesterday. The Post joins with the many 'ri-nds ot this estimable family, in ,. +hing them success and happiness in their new home." To this we may add that Mr Galloway entered upon bis pastorate of Ontario St Methtnlist Church, on Sunday last. Large congregations greeted the new pastor morning and evening. His sermons were greatly appreciated and the congregation gave Mr Galloway a hearty welcome. This Friday evening the Tucker - smith congregation are holding_ a garden party at the residence of Mrs Johns, which will offer an opportun- ity to the pastor to meet the people of that section. EXAMS. —The annual department- al examination for 1st, 2nd and third class candidates, for teacher's certifi- cates, began here in the town hall on Tueeday morning. Inspector Robb and Mr William Doig, teacher, Kip - pen, are presiding examiners. There are four eandidatee writing tor 1st class, 15 for 2nd, forty seven for 8rd and 3 for junior Matriculation. The papers thus tar have been con- sidered fair, except the 2nd class Grammar,which was unusually heavy and severe. I. O.

Rep to High Court,G Swallow and T C Bruce. Court Physician, Dr J L Turnbull. DECLINED.—Owing to the inde- finiteness of the regulations regard- ing the duties of the examiner ap- poiuted by the School Boards, Mr Lough has decided not to examine any of the papers allotted to him. He has the fullest confidence in the ability and honesty of the other members of the Board of Examiners, and believes that unless the new reg- ulations make it imperative that the public school teacher appointed shall examine a portion of the papers, it is more in accord with the Golden Rule not to do so.
