INTERESTiNGNUPTIALS.-One day
last week Rev. R. Hicks, B. A.,
now rector of Simcoe, lately of St.
Paul's,London, and formerly curate
of St. George's, Goderich, was mar-
ried in St. Paul'sCathedral,London,
to Miss Ada Jeffery y of the last nam -
,ed place.
UNTIRED.-The wheel of a wag-
gon with a load of hay got untired
when at the central crossing in
town, Saturday, and had to be
sopped. Councillor Oliver Johnson,
blacksmith, was called to scene and.
paradoxical as it may seem, the
more he tired the vehicle, the greater
the chance of it proceeding on its
journey, which it did after Mr.
Johnson had completely tired it:
COUNTY CONSTABLE D. C.McKay,
of Goderich, was iu town Saturday
in the interests of justice and with
n view of ferreting out the where-
abouts of the Listowel robber, who
shot constable Bulmer of that place
at the Commercial hotel in this town
when that officer was about to arrest.
him, and then literally took to the
'woods and escaped the too kind at-
tentions of the miuens of the law,
and has up to time of writing failed
to send his address.
CONSTABLES KNOX, of Goderich,
and Davies, of Blyth, and deputy
sheriff Gundry were in town Satur
day endeavoring to hunt up the
missing link that should connect
with Castle Dixon at Goderich the
burglar who shot constable Bulmer,
of Listowel, the Commercial hotel
here. Town constable Wheatley
took up the thread of the discourse
on Monday, but up to tirne of writ-
ing the mazy ways of the escaped
burglar and shootist had not been
followed to a successful result.
DISHONEST JOURNALISM. - The
following from the Mitchell Ad-
vocate would show that the Grit
paper of that town is about as un
reliable as the Grit paper of Clinton:
'During the heat of the late election
the Recorder published the follow-
ing lying paragraph, the object
being to influence voters in favor
of the Reform candidates :-"A
few weeks ago Mr. T. G. Hurlburt,
of the township of Hibhert, took it
into his head to try a little specula-
tion in the potato line. He found
that pototoes were in demand at
Buffalo at 60 cents per bushel. He
had a large quantity of his own and
purchased enough to make a carload,
184 buehela. When he got his
potatoes to Buffalo he had to pay
$46, or 25 cents a bushel to get
them out of the customs. He then
sold them for $92 or 50 cents a
bushel, leaving him on the -ship-
ment, after deducting what hs paid
duty, just $46. From this sum he
still had to deduct freight and ex-
penses. Ho has not speculated any
farther in shipping potatoes to the
United States tnarket, nor wonld
he advise any farmer to try it until
we have secured reciprocity. Mr.
Hurlburt knows now from practical
experience who pays or loses the
duty in shipping to the United
States market." Mr. Hurlburt,
although a Liberal, has no desire to
be a party to a trick as dishonest as
it is despicable. He informs us
that he never shipped a potato to
Buffalo or any other market outside
of Mitchell this year, and therefore
he could not have lost on the
transaction. We make the cor-
rection at this late date, not ex-
s:r_psating.--that it will>dc.--any=good;
but it will give our readers a slight
idetteof the schemes resorted to by
an unscrupulous Grit press to carry
the late olootions.
oaken staff,
RETURNING OFFICER Whitely has
to thank Inspector Hopkirk, of
Stratford, for the prompt manner
in which that official sent him two
sums of money to make good
amounts sent in. registered letters to
Deputy Returning Officers, George
Rutledge and George Quinn and
which amounts were stolen from
Auburn Postofficn.
L. 0. L 710, Clinton, met in
regular session bi.lnday evening.
The fife and drum band is progress-
ingeewell under the leaderdnip of
Mr. Storey. Regalia, the L. T. B.
Association, a sermon on the 12th
July, the sick benefit fund, &c.,
&a., were all c l`iscueeed. A special
meetiug will be held on WVeduee-
day evening, May 27th., for special,
ani general business.
Rteete Ia Ttits.-Among the
letters rifled at the Auburn poet -of-
fice one night last week were two
registered lettere from Returning
Officer Whitely of Clinton. One
addressed to Geo. Rutledge cantain-
ing $12.80 and one addressed to
George Quinn containing $13.10.
After the thieves obtained the con
tents they roust have left the letters
behind, as they are in the possess-
ion of P. 0. Inspector Hopkirk of
Stratford. The amounts will be
tudde good by the Poet -office Depart-
ment.
MARRIED. -Au estimable Clinton
young lady, was married in Toronto
the other day. It way Miss Amelia
Plummer, daughter of town Coun
cillor S. G. Plunrmer,who was wed-
ded in St. Stephen's church, Toron-
to, by the Rev. Mr. Broughall, on
May bth., to Mr. Jas Bousfield, of
Douglas, Man. The newly wedded
couple have been spending a few
days with the bride's father iu Clin-
ton prior to their departure fur their
Western home. THE News.RE-
CORD wishes themthe full fruition
of a happy married life.
GOOD CATTLE. -Saturday of last
week the Messrs Ransford sold to E.
Watson,of Blyth, 38 head of fat steers
which were shipped per G.T.R. from
Clinton station. They were an
exeeedingly good all round lot and
their weight, age considered, reflect-
ed credit on the judicious feeding
of the sellers. They weighed
55,210 lbs., an average of 1453 lbs
per bead. The amount the Messrs
Reneford received was $3.026.50
being at the rate .of 5-1- cents per lb
Sidney Smith also made
shipments of cattle last week, and
a large drove of hogs bought of
Mr. John 0. Elliott were also ship-
ped.
No JOKE ABOUT IT. -Stovepipe
jukes come in with the warm
weather as well ae with the cold
weather, but there is nothing re-
markably jocular in the story told
by Mrs. Gibson in a bill filed by
her for divorce in a Chicago court.
In it she declares she married
Christopher Gibson at Uxbridge,
Canada, in February, 1883. Dun
ing let May week of this year
Christopher tackled the frolicsome
stove pipe. He got mad because
one of the juints point blank re-
fused to have anything to do with
the rest of the pipe. He struggled
with it until he was tnad trying to
jam it into another length, then
turned round and slapped his wife
its the face, who'no doubt had been
rather boisterously enjoying the
fun. Christopher then retired to
test. But next morning he was as
mad as ever, and threatened to kill
h:s wife with a hatchet. She now
seeks a divorce.

WELL EARNED WORM -The Quer.
terry Board of Ontario St. Methodist
church at its meeting on Monday
evening last, unanimously passed
the following resolution on motion
of Mr. Ed. Turner seconded by Mr.
Jno. Brickenden :-"That this Quar-
terly Board cannot -permit the pres.
entopportunity to pass without for -
malty recording its appreciation of
and esteem for our beloved pastor.
During his three years' pastorate
Rev. Jos. Edge has ministered to
our church with exceptional pulpit
ability. His faithful and forcible
presentation of the truth in its many
phases has, under the blessing of God,
developed the Christian life and
piety of our membership, which dur-
ing his ministry has largely increas-
ed. We also record with gyatitude
and pleasure that in all our church
and official meetings Bro. Edge has
by the constant display of that for-
bearance, grace and urbanity which
mark the true pastor and the Chris-.
tian gentleman,reserved unity,
peace and concot+d in our church,
We pray that he and Mrs. Edge may
long he spared to work for the Mas-
ter, and that the blessing of God may
rest upon them and their family
wherbver they may go, and that
finally pastor and people may meet
in the Church of the Firstborn above."
Mr. Edge acknowledged the resolu-
tion in a short and touching speech.
The past three years, be said had
been _the: n:,b e s to of -hie' ^ m in f e titinstl-
that no where hoe_ he spent three
years more pleasantly. He would
leave Clinton with good will to every
one and wished the membership and
congregation all prosperity.

MAYOR DOHERTY brought over
fr.1m the Cleveland sale the
"Sidney", California, 2 year
old trotting colt "Mountaineer",
half brother to "Gold Leaf"
2.111 and "Adonis" 2.111.. It
is said that the colt has a consider
able proportion of the warm blood
strain so necessary in standard bred
trotting sires that may be used with
dams that are not standard bred.
"Mountaineer" is bay, with white
points, richly endowed standard
bred, splendid trotting action for a
youngster, strong limbed, round
barreled, somewhat rangy yet
strongly soupled, and as he ages
under the manipulation of J. L.
should develop into a sire of no
mean individual and prepoteut
worth.
AN ARRESTING SENSATION. -
About midnight Friday constable
Buttner and a companion from
Listowel drove up to one of our
livery stables and put up their
horse there and put in the time as
best they could until early Satur-
dayamorning when they put in an
appearance at the Commercial hotel.
They made inquiries there and
found that a man that was wanted
for robbery at Listowel was there,
having stayed all night. About 6
a. m. Constable Bulmer wont up to
the room of the man he wanted and
was about to arrest hire when the
alleged robber showed fight and
pulled out a revolver to show that
he meant business;the constable did
the same. They fired several shots
each,,the imprints of the bullets are
still on the woodwork of the room.
Then they grappled with each other,
when the robber hit the constable a
fearful crack across the back of hie
right hand with a revolver, dis-
abling that metnber for a time.
During their close quarters fight
the robber made out to fire his re-
volver once more, the ball this time
penetrating the coat, vest and
under garments of the constable,
which were found after'war'd to be
saturated with blood, immediately
over his left breast and boring a
hole through the fleshy part thereof:
The bullet was afterward found in
the constable's boot whore it drop-
ped. It was fortunate for the con-
stable that the ball was fired from a
side direction instead of directly
from the front, as had the latter been
the case his "goose" would probably
have been cooked. .Whileconstable
Balmer was contending with his
antagonist upstairs his companion
and town Constable Wheatly were
stationed outside beneath the win-
dow of the room to capture him
should he attempt to make his
escape in that direction. But the
robber coolly went down stairs
after shooting the constable and
made his exit from the orthodox
opening left by the carpenter in the
front of the hotel and made his way
hurriedly by the south part of the
town across the railway track and
took to the bush, waving a revolver
in each hand at his would-be
capturers who were close on his
heels as ho disappeared from view.
Constable Balmer was not seriously
hurt, having received only a flesh
wound, He da-,pn.544d, gaw JkoPle..
during Che 'day. It is a pity Con-
stable Bulmer did not capture his
man .after so cleverly tracking him
and locating and making such a gal-
lant attempt at securing him.
