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.

FINGER AND 'HUMIN CUT OFF.—
One day last week Mr. Wu1,Mufr had

thumb nearly down to the root of
thenail out off while he was manip-
ulating a machine in -the Clinton

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

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.

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.

ing societies meet in the Clinton

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
