MR. WM. HARLAND is adding to his neat residence on Rattenbury street a cellar and kitchen. Mr. Thos. Walker has the etoue work abort completed, and the addition will eoneiderebly enhance the value of the property. A NOTABLE YEAR.—Next year will be one of very significant celebrat• ions. It is the twenty-fifth ann:ver- eery of -Canadian Confederation, the fiftieth anniversary of the establish- ment of responsible government in 'thecountry, the one-hundredth anni- •versary of the founding of Montreal, and the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Col- umbus. SHOT IN THE LEG.—Mr. A. J. Gilmore, of Prescett,Arizona,former- ly of Clinton, had a narrow eeoaps recently. He had loaded revolver in his pocket and was passing,. through a piece of shrubbery, when the hammer or trigger was caught, discharging the contents of the ohatnber into his leg near the knee. At last accounts Mr. Gilmore was 4n the hospitil, but the bullet had not been removed. IN THE SOUP AGAiN.—Our Grit town contemporary is in hot broth again. In its usual haste to pub- lish something bad about someone, a few weeks ago it published from. Wingham statemeuta injurious to Chief of Police Pettypiece of that town. And it is rumored that the Chief is after his scalp. The better policy for a newspaper to pursue,if it cannot publish anything good about an individual, is to refrain from making injurious statement, especi- ally if it knows nothing at all about the circumstances. Ignorance does not excuse violation of the civil, moral or social laws. BLadit.

FINGER AND 'HUMIN CUT OFF.— One day last week Mr. Wu1,Mufr had the forefinger of., his right baud at the first joint and the tip of the thumb nearly down to the root of thenail out off while he was manip- ulating a machine in -the Clinton foundry and machine shop. THE RIFLE ASSOCIATION bas not yet had a praotice this season, owing to one—of the targets being out of repair. When the asaacia- iion gets thiuge in shape, praotice will commeuce, It is almost im- possible for an accident to occur, as all practices and matches are strict- ly under Association Rules and the Queen's Regulations. SOUTH OXFORD CASE.=Mr. W. R. Meredith's motion to relieve Mr. Butler, the defeated Conservative Local House candidate for south Oxford, from the $5,800 worth of penalties incurred by him in neglect- ing to make a return of his election accounts within specified time, was enlarged by Chief Justice Galt for a week. Butler's return w as late by 522 days, and for each day in default the Crown has power to col- lect $25. THE LISTOwEL STANDARD :—Our town merchants are paying 12c a dozen for eggs. This is from 2c to 4c higher than they were paying a year ago. The McKinley tariff, instead of being an injury to the Canadian farmer in respect to eggs, has evid- ently been a benefit, as it has had the effect of developing a more an tive competition among Canadian buyers, and hence is keeping the price of "hen fruit" high this sea- son. ORANGE DOINGS.—The local lodge, No. 710, will meet next Wednesday evening for special and general business. Among other matters will be disonsled regalia for the coming 12th July and the advisability of establishing a sick benefit fund. The latter will likely be takon hold of and systematically and energetic- ally forged ahead. In time, no doubt, the Grand Lodge of B. A. will have sick benefits in connection with the insurance department, but there is nothing to interfere with local lodges taking hold of this very desirable and commendable work. It will' only be carrying out the laudable objacts and highest aims of. the Society-. Many city Orange lodges have sick benefits inconnec- tiop, notably in Loudon, Hamilton and Toronto. We hope to sue the tithe arrive when a more uniform regalia will be adopted throughout "tho'5ottrininn There -isle rowing-, •;feeling in tela. direction;,. CROPS —The cold, untoward weather has had a depressing effect on spring crops generally. Hay is destined to be a short crop. Pall wheat ie flourishing. The prospect for fruit is not as bright as it was some weeks ago. The staple crop of apples does not appear to pro- mise well. There is a scarcity of blossoms on the trees which pre— cludes 'any reasonable ground for hopes of anything like a full crop this year, AN ORANGEMAN.—At ono of the hotels in Toronto the other day, the colored attendant who was of a beau- tiful orange complexion was as atten- tive to an old Irish lady as to any- one else. She thanked him and he assured her it was a great pleasure to serve her. Theold lady replied that he had blarney enongh to be au Irishman. "That's exactly what I am", he replied. To which she replied. "And sure I might have known it. Mostly all the Orange- men come from the Black North." FROM ASHFIELD FOR LONDON.— An unfortunate man from Ashfield named -Flynn was taken from Gude- rich to the asylum for the insane at London, last Friday. He is a re- spectable looking well-to-do farmer about 65 years of age. At the Clinton station he got out with his attendant and remaiued while wait• ing for the change of oars. He appeared to be a man of fully aver- age education, but is away off on "politics, theology and temperance," which subjects he avowed he was specially capable of enlightening the world upon, and duly charged to do so. He used good language and was quite voluble. ABOUT THE 24TH MAY.—The 24th of May will be celebrated with great eclat this year in almost every town and village. The only definite "big days" set for 1891 in Clinton are those in the fall of the Driving Palk Association and the Huron Central Exhibition. There . has been little talk of getting up sports for the 25th of May, but if the tnatter is to be brought to a suc- cessful issue it is time a definite move was made. Clinton should not be allowed to lag in the matter of drawing people to town and entertaining thein while here, as well as interesting our own popu- lation at home. Money spent in the town, instead of outside, benefits the great mass directly or indiroctly. In late years Clinton has been al- lowed to go hack . in this respect. We may be asked who should move in this matter 1 Our public men ; our representatives; our business men ; olhr citizens—in short, once the mutter is taken hold of, every• body should move._ Why not have the various Societies'interested in a big day for Clinton in the way of recreation and sports. We have the Orangemen, the Masons, the Oddfellows, Workmen, Canadian Foresters, Sons of England, Inde- pendent Foresters, Septennial Ben• evolent Society, Home Circle, &c., &o. A combined effort on the part of all these, with numerous attrac- tions and the united assistance of our citizens and business people, would give Clinton "a great day" .long to be reinembered. Clinton has the people, the energy and push to accomplish anything in. this line, but a move must be made -and•-airy, -scheme—followed—up.,-per. eiatontly to a successful issue.

It is the most lively "youugater" he has had eiuce he nursed a felon some years ago. THE Driving Park Association meets at tho Central hotel on Tuesday evening for election of officers and general business. A fall attendance is looked tor. A NUISANCE.—AD exchange says : The echool Board should take steps to prevent the distribution of ad- vertising matter within the school grounds. During the past few days ttre place has been flooded with gift show dodgers ; the scholars get hold of them and tear them to pieces and the consequence ie that the beauti- ful grounds are rendered untidy and anything but pleasing to the eye. The board should see that the school grounds are used only for what they ate intended, as a play- ground for scholars. The St. Thomas School Board has recently passed a resolution forbidding the distribution of advertising matter in or about the schools. It is an ex- ample worthy of following by our board. SOCIETY MEETINGS.—The follow- ing societies meet in the Clinton Orange Hall, third flat, Victoria block, ou the dates named : Loyal Orange Lodge No. 710 (incorporated,) meets the second Monday of every month.

I ]Iembors of any of the above Brotherhoods passing through or stopping over in Clinton are cordially invited to visit ..ny or all of them. RATHER SEVERE.—The Listowel Standard, referring to the escape of the alleged burglar and his shooting constable Buttner at the Commercial hotel here feet week, says :—"Con- stable Bulmer arrived home at a late hour on Saturday night, and al- though no serious results have fol- lowed the bullet wound,he has been somewhat "under the weather" since. He met Mr. Wilson, of Harriston, at Seaforth, who telegraphed a des- cription of the burglar to all points, and it is possible that he will yet be captured. Had it not been for the Clinton police and the numerous onlookers around the hotel, who were too frightened by the shots to come to Mr. Bulmer's assist• anee, the burglar would not have es- caped." s- caped." COUNTY MASTER TODD has receiv• ed, with thanks, the report of the thirty-third annual session of the R. W. Grand Orange Lodge of Nova Scotia from Prov. Gr. Secy. John C. Gnu, Shubenacadie, Hants coun- ty, N.S. Bro. Gass is also deputy grand secretary of British America. It is refreshing indeed to learn by official report of the progress of the Order 'way down by the sounding sea. The report is made up of 55 pages of welt arranged, welt printed and interesting matter—Gr. Master Capt. Church, Gr. Secy. Gass, Gr. Treasurer Miller and county and dietrjet Masters setting forth the progress and good standing of the Order, especially in the Island of Cape Breton. A good healthy and increeeing membership, new halls, a liberal cash surplus, and painstak- ing officers down to the primary lodge ie,NTova Scotia's key to pros- perity. The province ie comprised of 5 county, 4 district, and 49 primary lodges, and a complete di- rectory of the officers of each lodge and time of meeting, is given in the report. R. W. Bros. Gags and Capt. Church we met at St, John, N.B., last August, and cannot say more than that the Order is in capable and trustworthy hands in Nova Scotia. The brethren of South u can look through the report by applying to ti1i Gill tt y s eh:"'- MR. THOMAS JACKSON SR. is again the owner of the property and resi- dence at the corner of Huron and Orange streets, lately owned and neoupied by Dr. Reeve. Mr. Jack- son is having some of the unsightly surroundings removed and is brush- ing it up so that it will be one of the prettiest residences in town. MR J. L. DOHERTY has, at hie training stables, Queen's hotel, Clinton, among other trotting horses, the trotting stallions "Mountaineer" and "Phil Patchen," which lie will be pleased to show to couuoiseure and all admirers of the "noble animal," at all hours of the d.ty and evening. Visitors can rely on seeing J. L. there any time they call. POMME DE TERRE.—Mr. D. Cautelon has been busy the past few weeks shipping potatoes from var- ious points in this and adjoining counties to Buffalo. Aud he don't pay a cent duty on them, The American dealer pays the duty on them, and he "taxes" the consumer that amount, which goes into the general revenue of that country and helps to swell up the enormous fund devoted to pensions etc. In this connection it may be said that Mr. Cantelon bought the potatoes which the Mitchell Grit paper said Mr. Hurlburt sold in Buffalo for 50 ceuts a bushel. Now we have Mr. Cantelon's word that he did not lose on the gale of those Hurlburt potatoes in Buffalo and we know that he has been paying 50 cents here for them. Admitting the Grit statement that potatoes bought here at 50 cents a bushel and sent to Buffalo realized there only 50 cents and paid a duty of 25 cents, who paid the duty when the Canadian shipper did not lose by the trausac- tion 1 Thie is a conundrum for the cheapening jack Grits to solve. Then it' potatoes sell for 50 cents a bushel in Buffalo while they are worth that figure in places like Cliuton, Goderich etc., what he comes of the Grit contention that a free American market would benefit Canadian farmers 1 THE AUBURN P.O. ROBBERY.—III referring to this platter last week we said that the "amount stolen, about '$131, will be made good by the Postoffice Department," which is correct,but Postmaster Munro had first to make the amount good to the Department. It will bear hard on Mr, Munro if he will have to stand this lose, and it is hoped that the circumstances under which the rob- bery took place will justify Inspec- tor Hopkirk in reporting that due precautions were taken to protect mail matter in the Auburn office ; and no one acquainted with Mr. Munro's careful and methodical busi- nese habits will think that the loss was caused through any contribu- tory negligence on his part. It seems that the thieves took two chis- els from Brown's carriage shop and pried the office door open, and the tills in the shop. The chisels were afterward found in- the river and were identified by Mr. Brown. They fitted the indentures' in the door and tills. The thieves molest- ed nothing but the registered letters. and after abstracting the money con- tents left the letters and envelopes strewn on the floor. The letter con- taining $105.50 was from a Mr. Wagner to his brother and was writ ten in German, both men made af- fidavits as to the amount and Mr. Munro paid it to Wagner, took his receipt and forwarded it to Inspec- tor Hopkirk. Immediately ou dis- covering the loss Mr. Munro wired Inepector Hopkirk, also constable Davies of Blyth and all constables in the surrounding villages. What- ever the rules of the Department may be in regard to the liability of Mr. Munro, it appears he was not guilty of negligence before nor lack of due diligence after the robbery, and the public would bo grieved to find that a faithful public servant should be out of pocket through no TO BUY.
