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.

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.

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.
