He succeeded in getting about $1000 commission and then lit out. Accord- ing tosthe World, Kelly's mill, Blyth, and the Zurich mill were among those that were taken in. " LOOKING WELL.—DurinF the early rt of this week the editor had an -cpPortunity of viewing from a car ;window the crops in many of the coun- ties of Western Ontario. In almost all sections they look splendid. Fall 'wheat is making excellent growth and in no section whatever does it look poor; spring grains, while further advanced in the east than in the west, are also doing well, and the prospects _for,fruit_ of all kinds never seemed *- better. Of course the critical thie for fruit has not yet been reached, but so far it has not been injured. The great need of underdraining is mani- fest from one end of the Province to the other. Farmers have evidently not yet begun to reajize the value of this system of improvement, or they would inaugurate i t much more largely.

A ccaiple of lady employees hi a store sat cai the steps waiting for the ----clerks to open up, and the person in question came down street on a bicycle, a a terrific pace, when just in front of the ladies the too quick application of ' the brake stopped the cycle, and sent • the cyclist sprawling on the ground. Vilithcait the slightest confusion he • gathered himself up, raised his hat, and with the remark, "Good morning ladies," remounted and rode off as jocularly as though he had stopped expressly to salute them. SUCCESSFUL CLINTONIAN.—It is with much pleasure we announce the ap- pointment of W. H. Bamford, former- ly of Clinton, as agent of the Fitch- burg Railroad Northern Fast Freight lines, which include the National De- spatch, Canada Atlantic, the Soo, Rome, Waterdown and Ogdensburg, and Ogdensburg Transit Co., with head officam 250 Washington street, Boston. Billy always had an upward tendency, and we are not at all surprised at his .success. The unpleasant fact for us to face is, that all the smart, clever ones in our midst are forming them - elves part and parcel of the United States, which country is annexing as rapidly as possible just what they most desire, viz., the cream of our popula- tion, leaving us the remainder. We tender our congratulations to our old friend William. ENTERTAINMENTS.—The entertain- ment given by Sara Lord Bailey, on Thursday evening, on behalf of the Mechanics' Institute, was not as large- --•; ly attended as it might have been, though the entertainment itself was good; a fact that has been eviden', for some time but which has not had the — effect it might have had, is that an elocutionist entertainment, no matter how good, cannot be made to pay in a small town. There Was a fairly good audience at the Forester's entertain- ment on Friday evening; Mrs Macke'- , can, of Hamilton, was of course the star of the evening, and she is lingoes- ionably a fine singer, having an ex- ellent voice, well cultivated, and she ows how to use it to the best ad- ntage; Mr Crawford, of London, s applauded for his recita- ns, Wnich were all comic, Miss Mar - n, of Wingham, was well received, nd our local talent,which consisted of Mesdamas Marcy and Chown, nd .Messrs Sibley, Spaulding and Hollo- way, fulfilled their agreement in making the program a good one. On Tuesday afternqon Mrs Scott, of Toronto, addressed the Band of Hope, and in the evening gave a very pleas- ing talk on Temperance to a fair aud- ience gathered in Rattenbury street churh; at which Mr Metcalf, of Blyth, occupied the chair. 0/118,—Mrs Fair,Sir. who has Mr a Act of years resided on Huron St., taken her residenee with her laid as they are here.

"Hazel Kirke" was presented at the town hall, last (Thursday) night, for the benefit of Private Mennel, of the 33rd Battalion. Mr Jno. W. Langford, who has been for some time a resident of town, has taken a situation at Goderich; he is a popular, estimable and good-looking young man, an active member of the Cycle club, and we are sorry that he is leaving our midst. Messrs Walton & Morrison, formerly of this town, are both working on the bench at Nana- imo, B. C.; they are not greatly in love with that part of the country, nor with Vancouver, in which place they only remained two days; they do not purpose going into business there this year at any rate. The Driving Park Association had a streak of "bad luck" last season, so far as weather was concerned, and are naturally anxious that the weather next Tuesday should be A 1, so that the events announced to take place on that day, should not be deranged. Mr John Scruton has purchased Dr. William's property; he location is one of the very finest n the town; the price paid is $900 cash. Mrs J. Folland is seriously ill. Mr and Mrs A. H.

The meeting of the Western District of the Canadian Lacroese Association washeld in the Commercial hotel, Seaforth, on Wed. nesday,May llth,at 3 pin., R. S. Williams, of Goderich, distriot secretary, presiding. Representatives were present from St. Marys, Stratford, Mitchell, Seaforth, Clinton and Goderich. As the district is this season divided into two divisions with the three former clubs in the Eastern and the One° latter in the Western, it was un- animously agreed to extend time for playing from July 15th, to July 308h, the winners of the two divisions to play home and home games to decide championship on Friday, 5th and 128h of August, first game to be played in the West. The following motions were carried: That each club pay its own expenses and retain its own gate receipts. That each club put up a bond of $10 to be forfeited by any club not fulfilling date scheduled, unless five days' notice be given of its inability to play on that date. The following schedule was then adopted.
