BURNED.—On Monday Mr Mr J. H.
Worsell was painting his kitchen,
when the step -ladder on which he was
standing broke, and he fell with his
right hand plump on top of a hot stove,
whereby he was severely burned.
TRACREREL—A meeting of the exe-
cutive of both the East and West Rid-
ing *Teachers' Institutes was held in
Clmton, on Saturday, to make arrange-
ments for their approaching meetings.
Each Institute will hold separate meet-
ings, and the program was arranged
accordingly.
TEMPERANCE.—Initiations take place
at every meeting of Clinton Star Lodge
I.O.G.T.'and the membership soon
be quitelarge. At the last meeting an
interesting literary program was ren-
dered, and to -night (Friday) the mem-
bers of Summerhill Lodge are expected
to 'pay a visit, and be entertained by
the members here.
PARTNERSELIP.—Messrs J. C. Gilroy
and J. Wis'ernan have entered into
partnership as drygoods merchants,
and propose carrying on business in
the stand lately occupied by Mr Gilroy.
Both gentleman are well known to our
readers as capable and energetic busi-
ness men, of wide experience, and they.
undoubtedly, make "a big push'
•to secure their share of trade. Their
announcement in another column
speaks for itself.
Too MANY.—Electric light, telegraph
...,and telephone poles are getting pretty
thick in some parts of the town, and
while they are unquestionably useful,
they are not always ornamental. If
a person will stand on the west side of
Albert street, at Rattenbury street,
and look north, they will see little else
than poles, and they stand at all angles.
From the corner of Rattenbury to the
corner of Princess street, on Albert,
there are no less than thirteen poles on
7 one side of the street.
DRAINAGE COMMISSION. — Messrs
Rankin, McGeorge and McIntyre,
• members of the Ontario Drainage
Commission, held a sitting in the Coun-
cil Chamber, Clinton, on Tuesday last,
to consider ;any matters pertaining to
thOntazio. Drailian AO- delega-
qiiionite41- by the County Council,
and consisting of Messrs Milne, (reeve
, of Grey;) Ratz and Eilber,(reeve and
• deputy of Stephen;) Torrance, (reeve of
Stanley;) and Kaine,(reeve of Howick;)
gave the commission a number of sug-
gestions and pointers.
• Too Lorro.—We have received a long
communication from Mr S. A. Pollock,
.of Drysdale, in reply to the one in-
serted by Mr A. J. Denomy. Mr Pol-
lock flatly contradicts the statements
macle,rby the teacher in reference to
the:punishment of a boy, and the mat-
ter, therefore, becomes one of veracity
between the two. Personally, we
know nothing more about the matter
than what has already appeared in
print, but too much space has been al-
ready given the affair, and we deem it
prudent to with -hold the present com-
munication, although as a matter of
fairness Mr Pollock is entitled to a
reply, but he does just what Mr De-
nomy did, takes too much space to
state what he has to say, and we are
disposed to think that the interests of
all will be conserved by our action.
The best thing to do now is to let the
matter drop.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—Messrs Taylor
& Sons, who have established a suc-
cesssful branch store at Hensall, under
the management'of Mr Jacob Taylor,
have disposed of the same to Messrs
W. Downs & Son, of town, who take
possession of the same at once. Messrs
Downs at once enter on a well estab-
lished and profitable business, and we
can recommend them to the people of
Hensall as men of sterling integrity.
The change at Hensall leads to a
change in the firm of Taylor & Sons
here, Mr W. Taylor retiring on ac-
count of enfeebled health, and the
business being hereafter under the
personal control of Messrs Israel and
Jacob Taylor, both of whom are so
well and favorably known that no
words of commendation are necessary
from us. Mr Taylor sr, has been in
the business for about 20 vears, during
which time his record has been an hon-
orable and successful one, and he re-
tires to a well earned rest with the
. best, wishes of all the community.
St PATRICK'S CONCERT.—The con-
cert given here on Wednesday even-
ing, under the auspices of the Catholic
church, was fairly well attended, Mr
D. A. Forrester occupied the cha,ir in
his usual able manner. Mrs Wall
rendered her songs most excellently,
in fact they were equal in many re-
spects to those of the highest class
musicians. Miss McCormac is also a
very sweet singer, but has not a very
strong 'voice. The Misses Shannon, of
Goderich, gave several instrumental
duets, which were very brilliant and
well played. Miss O'Brien and Miss
Jones also sang a duet,which was very
much appreciated. Miss Winnie
a young, but uxcellaut -elocutionist,
gave a couple of recitations. Mr J. P.
Kennedy, of Stratford, is certainly a
very fine singer, one of the best ever
heard in this town, and there have been
some good ones here. This was the
first appearance of Mr T. Griffin, of
Godericb, whieh certainly showed that
he is well worthy of notice as a sihger,
he is a little timid, but has a good and
pleasing voice. It is hardly neeessary
to comment on the singing of Mr Wm
Jones, who is always listened to with
pleasure and greeted with loud ap-
plause.

At Toronto Clydesdale Show last week,
jarneS Snell, Clinton, Wile one at
the prize winners in the three year old
plass; when, it is rememberea that the
competition was exceedingly keen, and
that Mr. ftell's horse had .to show
against imported stock, it will be seen
that he did well for a Canadian horse.
Mr, ) Thomas Moore, of the Loudon
road, had the misfortune to Rose a horse
on Saturday last; it appears he was
driving him along the road, when he
suddenly tinubled over, and was dead
in a few minutes. Mrs Prendergast,of
Stratford, sjpent Sunday with her sister
here, Mrs Whitt. Miss Nellie Fair,
who has been ill for some tune, is now
much better. The weather this week
has been quite in keeping with March,
and was it great contrast to the balmy
and springlike days experienced last
i
week; it s better to have it rough now
than along in April. Mr John Callan-
der, of London, is here recruiting his
health. Mr Richard Irwin is in To-
ronto this week representing the Clin-
ton Home Circle at the meeting of the
Supreme Home Circle. Mr John Cun-
ninghame took the express run of one
of the messengers on the L., H. & B.
on Friday, owing to the messenger's
illness. Mr John Foster, late of Wing -
ham, has rented the house of Mr Little,
on Princess street. • We are sorry to
hear that Inspector Robb is down in
East Wawanosh, with a severe attack
of la grippe; he contracted it last week
in Turriberry, and in trying to throw
off by driving in the open air, he aggra-
vated the attack. We see by the
West London (Eng.) Observer, that
among the papers announced to be
read by the Society of Science, was W.
Doherty's (Clinton) "Address on Mu-
sic;" the Mayor may well feel proud of
the honor conferred on his admirable
address. The regular meeting of the
Order of Home Circles will be held on
next Tuesday evening. Mr S. Hart,
of town. has re -rented his farm in Col-
borne to the present tenant, Mr Pfram-
mer, but reserves the house and or-
chard, as he expects to move thereto
this spring. Mr T. Shipley has moved
back here to reside, and for this season
will look after thelluron Central Stock
farm, owned by Mayor Doherty. It is
stated that Mr Rolat Fitzsimons, of
Winnipeg, is likely to come back here
and reside, and may go into the cattle
business with Mr E. Watson. Mr R.
Docking, formerly of Holmesville, re-
turned from Manitoba on Tuesday; he
likes it very well there, and expects to
return ere long, but he has come down
to settle up his late father's business
which will take some time. The pretty
and popular C. P. R. operator, Miss S:
Kilty, has lost her grip on the wire for
the past week; in fact the grip has such
a hold on her that her brass pounding
propensities are for the time annulled,
but we hope soon to see her fully re-
stored and in her usual place again.
Miss Malcolm, of Ingersoll, is visiting
Miss Kilty and other friends in town.
We understand that Messrs Walton &
•Morrison, who have carried on the
tailoring business here for a couple of
years, have decided on removing to
British Columbia, and leave in a couple
of weeks. On Tuesday morning, while
Weir's milk rig was on its way to
town, it had the misfortune to be up-
set and the contents of the cans lost,
by encountering a huge snow drift.
Fred J. Webb, of New York. a former
• typo mr theNgw-Eax-staff,-h-as got `up
a very attractive calendar for 1892;INEW
ERA boys generally turn out well. The
government is advertising for tenders
for carrying the mail again between
Bayfield and Seaforth; what the gov-
ernment should do is to change the
mail route back to Clinton, as it gave
much better satisfaction to all parties
than the present arrangement. Mr
John Folland is laid up with neuralgia
and rheumatism. On Tuesday 11
cars of Manitoba settler's effects left
here, and a number of passengers,
among whom were Messrs Fred Davis,
Geo. Hodgens, Frank Gorrell and fam-
ily and others. G. Laithwaite and wife
also left for others;
We are pleased
to see that, after a lengthened illness,
Mr W. Murray is once more able to be
oot. Mr J. P. Tisdall is still confined
to his house by an attack of grip. Mr
Arthur Cook has moved into his fine
new house. Mr: James Howson has
opened a shop on Albert street, for the
cleaning and repairing of clothes; this
is just what is needed here. No doubt
Mr Searle, our tree inspector, will be
pleased to see that Drs. Wilkie and
Gunn have cut down those objection..
able willow trees, that have so long
been an eyesore to him on Rattenbury
street, hanging over the street shade
trees and sidewalk; it would be an im-
provement if many others would do
likewise. Mrs W. McKowen, after a
protracted illness, is able to be up.
Mr Julian Wall, of Washington, D.C.,
is here on a visit. Mr John Scanlan,
of Hullett, has rented Mrs T. Cooper's
house, Albert street north, and will
move to town. A week's sleighing,
would be a good thing to finish up the
winter with. Detective Murray, of
the Provincial Police Force, was in
town this week.
