the fall wheat has wintered well, and

tracted illness, Mr John Folland passed

years. He has resided here for a good
many years. He leaves 4 sons, 2 here,

recently organized here, has gained in
membership very rapidly, twelve per-
sons being initiated at the regular
meeting last week. All who are in
sympathy with total abstenence prin-
ciples should join the lodge, and thus
give the movement their persona/ sup-
port as well as sympathy. The lodge
meets over Jackson Bros. store every
Friday evening.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—A telegram from
Port Huron, yesterday, (Thursday) con-
veyed the sad information that Mr T.
R. Mitchell, of Westfield, had been ac-
cidentally killed near that place. No
particulars are known, but it is sup-
posed to have been done by an engine.
Me was an exceedingly popular person,
and his untimely death will be greatly
regretted. He left here only last week
with a consignment of horses for the
west.
DENTISTRY. - The following from
this county have passed the intermedi-
ate examination in the Royal College
of Dental Surgeons and have been ad-
mitted to the senior class. In a class
of forty-two students G. A. Dewar
stands first, and G. A. Newton, A. J.
Irwin and A. Watson all .stand among
the top ones on the list. These are an
Huron boys, and show the ability that
characterizes students from this county
in any profession or calling.
PERSONAL -The Chicago Canadian -
American, of last week, says: - Mrs
Thomas Jackson, of Clinton, Ont., is
at present on a visit to her son-in-law,
--- Mr -Lang, the efficient station agent at
Evaston, Ill., and on Monday last took
the opportunity to call on her old
friends, Mr and Mrs Robert Matheson,
of Ravenswood, Ill., formerly of Clin-
ton, where Mr Matheson was editor
of tbe CLINTON NEW. ERA, from 1809
to 1872; the occason was indeed a re -
sewing of old and pleasing memories."
"AWAY DOWN SOUTH." -Letters re-
oseived from Mr A. H. Manning, the
past week, indicate that he has im-
proved very materially, being much
better than he has felt for some time,
able to eat heartily and to take plenty
of exercise. When he wrote the ther-
mometer was standing 91 in the
shade. It is expected that Mr and Mrs
M. C. Cameron will return to Goderich
about the 10th inst., but Mr Manning
and wife will remain south until he
feels sufficiently improved to warrant
his return north.
OPERATION.—For years Mr Ed. T.
Holmes, of this town, has been trou-
bled with his left leg, the bone of which
it was thought had been injured in
some way, and gave him considerable
pain. Consultations with eminent
medical men failed to give relief, but
it became so painful that he decided to
have an operation performed on it,
which was done on Tuesday last by
three doctors of town. The injury was
found to be an abnormal development
, of the bone simply without decay, and
4is was cut away. It will take some
time before he has the nse of the leg
again, but in the meantime he is im-
proving nicely.
IlsTVESTORS.—The blue -book report of
the list of shareholders of the charter-
ed banks of Canada, shows that, a, con-
siderable number of shares are held by

Detroit Free Press, Mar. 15th, says:-
James E. Gallaghar, a moulder in J.
13. Wilson & Co's foundry, corner of
Front and Thirteenth streets, met
with a severe accident yesterday
morning. About 10.30 a. m. he was
assisting in moving a heavy casting
(weighing 2600 lbs) with a crane from a
planer to the ground, when one of the
hooks broke and let the iron fall upon
him, shattering his left leg and right
foot. The unfortunate man was re-
moved to Grace hospital, and died from
the shock at 4.05 p. m., although every-
thing was done to save his life. Cor-
oner -Downs was notified, and will hold
an inquest to -morrow at 3 p. m. Mr
Gallagher was 43 years old, and leaves
a wife four sons and one daughter to
mourn his loss, at 35 Twentt Second
street, He was respected add highly
esteetned by all who knew him, and
the foundry n which he worked was
closed from the time of the accident
till After the funeral. Mrs James
Gallagher is a sister of Mrs Ro!?ert
Biggar*, of Clinton.
Ns—Mrs Susan Doan, reliet Of Xr
Benjaanin Doan, who died Itt her reei-
denee, Oth concession, Yarmouth, Sat-
urday night, in the 80th year a her
age, was a relative of Mr 0. S: Doan,
Clinton. Mr Fred Rowland, who died
in London, last week, was ono of the
oldest and Moat respected residents of
that city, And Was an uncle of Mr R.
Rowland, of the firm of Davis & Row-
land, Clinton. Mr Albert More11, of
Constance, has been making suspicious
visits to Clinton for some time; he is
evideatly after a popular bell of thehub.
The regular meetmg of the Council
will be held on Monday night. Tha
Expositor says :-Miss Marion Mc-
Michael, who has been spending a few
weeks with friends and relatives here-
abouts, returned yesterday to Clinton,
to resume her place in Jackson Bro-
thers' store. Mr Samuel Hartt, for
several years a resident of town, has
gone back to his farm, in Colborne, to
reside. Last week Mr D. Cantelon re-
ceived, on speculation, a car of Mani-
toba frosted wheat. Miss N. Fair, who
has been ailing for some time, is now
able to be out. Miss Rath is still in
poor health, and the doctors have
ordered her home to recuperate. Coun-
cillor Andrews, who has been associat-
ed with Mr Jacob Miller for a consider-
able length of time in his business, has
taken another position with Mr Weir,
implement dealer.' Messrs Hill & La -
vis, who are running the agricultural
implement business, have made a good
start this season, having already book-
ed orders for eight self -binders and any
number of small implements. Very
general regret is expressed that mis-
fortune has overtaken Reynold's livery,
and that the same is to go under the
auctioneer's hammer ; a combination
of unavoidable and unforseen circum-
stances is the cause. Skating is over
for the season. Mr Shannon, of Ingle-
wood, has taken a half interest in the
electric light business and plant here,
and will at once move his family, so as
to give his personal attention to it.
Every bicyclist., who uses thesidewalk,
should remeinber that it is only by
courtesy he is permitted to do so, and
should be careful of the rights of ped-
estrains. Mrs Grattan,of St. Cathar-
ines, who has been visiting here for sev-
eral weeks, returned home on Monday;
she is likely to join the exodus to the
States, and a young doctor of New
York state ere long. On Saturday
afternoon Mr Tipling, baggageman,
was standing on the brake -beam of a
moving car, trying to pull out a coup-
ling -pin, when he slipped, and the car -
wheel passed over his foot, crushing it
pretty bad ; it was a narrow escape
from a more serious accident. Measrs
Walton & Morrison left town en route
for British Columbia, on Saturday:
The other day while Mr J. Kennedy,
who is an expert and careful driver, was
riding horseback, the animal became
unmanageable just at a crossing over
which Mr W. Murray was passing, and
struck Mr Murray with its shovilder,
knocking him over; fortunately no
serious injury wastheresult. It would
be just as well not to pay too much at-
tention to all that may be said to you,
or to all the parcels that are seen in-
nocently lying on the street to -day, for
it is the 1st of April. Winter does not
even "linger in the lap of spring," for
it --has -Intrried-ly-tak-en -its-departure
and given way to weather in keeping
with the season of the year. Mr
Stevens, assessor, has about complet-
ed his labours ; he states that but very
few empty houses are to be found in
town. Mr R. Dunsmore, nephew of '
Mrs H. Andrews, who has been travel-
ing in South America, was in town last
week ; he has had st pretty extensive
trip and among other curiosities
i
brought back alive a couple of yo $

heading. Mr W. Harland, jr., who has
been spending three months, at Caro,

ORGAN RECITAL -The congregation
who assembled in St. Paul's church, on
Tuesday evening, had a rich treat af-
forded them by Mr J. Morton Boyce,
F.C.C.G.,A.L.C.M., organist of Grace
Church, Brantford. Mr Boyce's selec-
tions, as the program will show, were
in good taste. We are not musical
es it ics, but if we may judge from gene-
ral ppinion, it was felt, that the num-
bers were played with power, sweet-
ness and expression. Miss Jackson,
who is always welcomed, sang "Eter-
nal rest," by Piccolomini, very accept-
ably. Mr Gl. F. Oakes, whose willing-
ness to assist in any musical function
is so well known, sang "Sowing the
tares." The choir rendered "Praise ye
the Father," by Guonod, with much
spirit. A word may be said here of
the tone and power of the organ, which
were displayed with considerable effect.
The collection was a liberal one, for
which cordial thanks are given to the
large and representative congregation.
The accompaniments were played by
Miss Hallie Combe.
