*hose&OrrNG.—Mr Enos Hull, of
Mallett, left on Monday morning on
&trip to Michigan, where he goes on
eitproapecting tour. He bas a brother
residing there, and as Mr Hull's lease
of is ullett farm is nearly expired,
,
his' ;visit west is for the purpose of
aeeipg how he would like it there.
While we have every desire to see
l![r Bull get on in the world, we hope
he will not like it in the west, for he
,; as too good a citizen to lose.
WI1;L COME BACK.—Mr Henry
Stevens, who moved to Bluevale last
spring, thinks of returning to Clinton
to reside, and it is altogether likely
that he will come back. He spent
eo niauy years of his life here that it
ie like conueencing life over to reside
elsewhere, and he thinks, correctly
no doubt, that he could do better
liere at his trade than elsewhere.
,.We shall be glad to have him back.
MARRreGEs—A wedding took place
at Detroit a few days since, in which
two former Clintonians were the hap-
pyp, participants, Miss Minnie Mason,
who for three years was one of the
most valued assistants at the Rattan-
bei'jt House, being married to Mr Ed
Cotton, also late of this town. Mr
Benj Spindler, of London, a Clinton
boy, , Was also married to a young
lad sof town last week. And on
W dnesday Mr Thos. Rumball, oper-
ator G. T. R., and Miss M. Walker
were united in the holy bonds of
: smatritnony _. _ -,._._ .__.. _ _
ROWDYISM.—On Friday night
. six Seaforth y$utbs, in a state of
he11dees intoxication, went down
Albert Street, making all the noise
that their hinge were capable of. It
aashappened that just at the time
. Constable Wheatley was at the station
Mr Pattison having telephoned up
for him, and when he got up town,
the disturbance had ceased, although
they yelled at the top of their voices
again, when they got started in their
- buggies for home. A fine of KO each
would have been light punishment
for the offence of the disorderly
youths:
WILL BE TRANSFERRED. — The
'Superintendent of the Grand Trunk,
appreciating the evangelistic work
done b Conductor W.K. Snider, has
decided to place him on a run where
he will be in a position to engage in
this work riven more fully than he
does at resent, without at all inter-
fering with hie duties as a conductor.
He has, therefor, promised to place
him on °the line between Toronto and
Stratford;; with his home in the former
pllsce. • This will very greatly widen
his field of usefulness, and it is a fore-
gone conclusion that Mr. Snider will
do his beat to fill it. We are sorry
that he is to be removed from his run
on the L. H. and B. and yet pleased
that he will ' have an opportunity to
do more good work.
TErcm;Rs.—The Trustees of S. S.
Nb. ;2, 'Hallett, (near the eemetery)
have'tshown their appreeiatioa of
the services of their excellent teacher,
Mies 11,feCallum, by increasing ber
salary$25 ler next year, making it
$400; this is the second increase that
the board has given her, so they are
bound to keep her—unless some
young man files claim papers.—The
trustees of Blyth Public School bave
made a conditional offer to Mr A. H.
Plummer (son of Mr S. Plummer) to
accept the headmastership next year;
he has not decided as to what he will
do, but should be accept; Hullett
will lose a first•class teacher, and
Blyth will be the gsiner. lie has,
given extra good satisfaction where
he is, and personal acquaintance with
him enables us to testify as to his
excellent social and other qualities.

armee Nous. --• Last week Mr
James Snell sold a Shropshire ram
lamb to Mr W Grieves. of McKillop,
for a good rum. Mr James McFar-
lane, of Stanley, sold sixrize Shear-
lings—Shropshire--to Jr Andrew
Dunkin, of Varna, at good prices;
he also sold a ram to Mr M. McE.wan,
and'a pair of imported shearlings to
Mr Wm. Snell,
Monaeeree. The following Mod -
elites attending Clinton School have
been engaged for next year in the
schools mentiened: Mr. Rea and
Miss Kirkby for Walton. Mr Jervis,
for No. 8 Goderich township. Mr
McDowell, for one in West Wawa -
nosh. Mies Smillie, for No.9 Morris.
Miss Thompson, for assistant at Var-
na. Miss Lizzie J McLaughlin, No.
8, Hullett, assistant.
FISH BREEDINo.—gr 11 Cook, of
the Huron road, Goderich township,
has gone , into the raising of fish on
his farm. A natural pond about a
quarter of an acre in extent, was
stocked some time ago with carp,
and these have increased consider-
ably. If food is thrown into the
water, the fish will scramble for it
like so many chickens; they have
,attained considerable size, but are
difficult to catch.
The Grafton, Dakota, Adeocate,
contains these two items of local in-
terest:—Robert and James Lands -
borough, of Tuckersmith, Ontario,
were in the city last Saturday on
their way to visit their brothers and
sisters in the vicinity of Park River.
They had been for some time with
their sister Mrs Ingraham, of St
Andrews.
We had a very pleasaht surprise
last Tuesday, in the shape of a visit
from Mr Percy Mackid, with the
Wilson Theatre company. He spent
the early part of his life in the county
of Huron, and was for some time in
Brucefield, with Dr James Stewart,
and afterwards in Clinton, Ont.
WE KNEW IT—When the NEw ERA
predicted that W H McCracken, of
Brussels, -would cabbage nearly -all -the
vegetable prizes at the northern shows
we felt satisfied there would not be
many but what he would carrot away.
Just go through the prize lists and
see bow he has beat other exhibitors,
and if his mind should not be in a
state of peas, then we know nothing
about it. He must have early rose to
have succeeded so well, but there is
satisfaction in knowing that he has
not a white elephant on his hands.—
He'll turnip at the shows just as faith-
fully next year, and although he may
not make very much celery by doing
so, he manages to squash other exhi-
bitors. He has bean at it so long,vou
see. It he said that his knowledge is
so great that he can cauliflower by its
right name without, seeing it.
MEDICAL — The regular quarterly
meeting of the Huron Medical asso-
ciation,was held in the CouncilCham-
ber, Clinton, on the 13th inst. There

bury, Thompson, McLachlan, Fergu-
son, McDonald, M P., Whiteman,Mc-
Faul, Smith (president) Whitely,Tay-
lor, Worthington, Turnbull, Shaw,
Gunn. A good number of interest-
ing and rare cases, especially of ner-
vous and skin diseases, were presented
by differept members, regarding the
diagnoshr and treatment of which
there were discussions. Dr J G Gra-
ham of Toronto, delivered a lecture
on the common form of disease called
eczema, and explained hie methodeof
treatment in different cases presented
at the meeting. Before concluding a
vote of thanks -was tendered Dr Gra-
ham for his lecture and presence•, and
he was elected an honorary member
of the Hurn,, Medical Association.—
The next meeting will be held in
Seaford].
CONCERT—OD Friday, Oct. 23rd,
the people of Clinton and vicinity will
have the privilege of listening to Ca-
nada's favorite soloist, Mrs E. G.Cald-
well of Toronto;since she sang here
last epring,our people were so deligh-
ted with her,that she been Induced to
come again under local auspices. Mr
ohuson C. Bane. the guitar soloist of
horn we spoke last week, will also
ve his recital on that evening. Last
hurs,i:se evening Mr Bane rendered
is selections at Stratford,aod the fol -
wing is a clipping from the Beacon,
Friday: — Mr Johnson C Bane,
itherto an entire stranger, won his
y by a bound into the good graces
a Stratford audience. Such a per-
ct mastery of the guitar, that musi-
1 instrument much abused and
rought into disrepute by players who
nnot play it, was never witnessed
ere before and the yety difficult
usic played by him, was remarkable
d surprising. His Old Black Joe
d Home, sweet Home, with varia-
one, were master- pieces of finger-
ork, and his more difficult selections
ere eimply unbelievable, unless
ad." The balanee of the program
ill be given by more local talent, --1
he Clinton quartette will give two
lections, and others are being ar-
nged for that will make this con -
rt the best of the season; in fact it
uld not be otherwise, when such ex -
tient artists have boon secured; a
eked ball will no doubt welcome
em to the hub.
eNor,Es —The fall fairs are over for
is season, and no oris will be better
eased than the patient reader who
s had eo many prize lista thrust
fore his gaze. We hear it stated
