LIOENSEs.—The license of the Cen- tra l }lots], Blyth, expired on Saturday cd last week, and has not been renewed; , the house is still open as a stopping place for the public ; there are now only ;three licensed houses in Blyth. It is reported that there will be one house , less here next year, but which one it is Itryet unknown. \ as TEMPLARS. — The Good Templars, having secured hall accommodation with the Oddfellows, will hereafter meet in their hall which is reached by, the stairway north of Robins Bros. store, and will meet there to -night, (Friday,) for the installation of officers and other business. A full attendance or the membership is particularly de - 'aired. , , V,OTERS' LIST. —The to.kii voters' list contains the names of a total of 511 persons qualified to vote at municipal elections and elections for the Legisla- • tive Assembly; 322 qualified to vote only at municipal elections. and 47 qualified to vote only at elections for the LegislativeAssembly. There are 277 persons qualified to serve as jurors, and 70 persons down as widows. The list was first posted up by the clerk on the 6th of August. EXCURSION. — The Clinton Organ Co's Employees' Excursion to Kincar- dine on the 16th inst., gives promise of being a very su cessful affair. Kincar- dineJs not ofte visited by excursions from tlais quarter; this combined with the low rate is bound to attract a crowd. The new local band will fur- nish the music, and the Dauntless Lacross Club of Clinton, will measure ' arms with the Kincardine Club in the afternoon,on the grounds of the latter. TEE Civro.—The civic holiday rates given by the Grand Trunk this year, as compared with the previous years, were such slight inducements that very few persons, comparatively-, availed themselves thereof. We don't suppose -- -the -net receipts of the office here on Friday were one-third what they have been on previous occasions, and the Grand Trunk should pursue a little —more -generous policy,. -because it is- in their own miterest to do so. A crowd of about 75' persons drove to the lake shore beyond Porters Hill, a good many also went to Hayfield, and except / for the rain that fell in the afternoon; ' had a good time. ME HURON CENTRAL.—The Direc- tors have resolved on making the xperiment of having an old fashioned ftr this year, pure and simple. There are to be none of the usual outside • attractions, but all efforts are to be directed to obtaining a full and com- • Pete exhibit of the horses, stock, grains and other products of the • County. The time too is to be reduced to two days. It has been made a mat - of complaimtin some quarters, that of recent years, the annual Exhibitions of our Agricultural Societies were giving place to a sort of circus enter- tainment, and the original purpose of such Exhibitions were being lost sight of. This year the Huron Central will make the experiment of getting back on to the old track. Their Ex- hibition is to. be a schoolof competi- - —Moil; and it IS to be hoped that the endeavor to meet the wishes more especially of the farming community will be fully appreciated. OONCERNIING A DRAIN.—Messrs. W. Coats, D. B. Kennedy and 0. S. Doan, representing the Town Council, Wm. Jones, Richard Gagen, Edward Glen, Wm. Cooper and Thomas McKenzie,in their own interests, met on Monday evening last at the corner of Fulton and Dunlop streets, at the instance of 'Mr. Wm. Jones, with the vieW of ar- riving at an agreement with respect to the constridction of it drain required throngh the respective properties of the above parties, with an outlet at the G.: T. R. near the Hayfield road. It was found, however, that the parties could not agree as to the proportion of the drain to be made and maintained by eath of them, and the Town Engineer is now. to be called in to make an award under the Ditches and Water .Courses Act. Whilst there may be differences of opinion between the parties as to their respective rights and liabilities, there can he none as to the necessity for the drain, and in,the interest of the locality it is good that steps are being taken to have it constructed.

CONVENTioN.—The Executive Committee in connection with the Methodist District Sabbath School con- vention met at Holmesville, on Tues- day, to arrange for the convention, which is to be -held at that place early in September. A good program has been arrangpd, and a profitable session mafbe loolfed for. LEAvINO.—Rev. W. Craig, who has just closed his eleventh year pastorate of St. Paul's Church, announced to his congregation on Sunday, that he had accepted the pastorate of Petrolia church, and expected to move there as soon as conveninent.

METRonniT Cif uRcli.— The Quarterly services were held in this church last Sabbath morning, there was a very large congregation and a very blessed spiritual influence rested upon all the services. On Monday evening the first regular meet- ing of the official hoard was held, there was a large attendance of the mem- bers of the Board, and the meeting was pleasant and harmonious. Pastor and people are lookingfor great pros- perity and rich blessings during the year. Some time since a definite ILI range- ment was inaile with Rev A. H. Ran - ton, that he should supply the pulpit of Rattenbury St. church, on Sunday, August 7th. LI 1 view of this arrange- ment it was announced that he would take the services, and the officials of this church fully expected that the ar- rangement would be carried out. They were keenly disappointed on Saturday evening, after the last train had arriv- ed, to learn that he had not put in an appearance nor sent any explanation for his failure. Mr James Young, as a substitute, cook charge of the morn- ing service, and Rev Mr Smyth very kindly came to the rescue and took the evening service, also administering sacrament. A large congregation was present, and though some were disap- pointed at the non-appearance of Mr B-anton, Rev Mr Smyth more than made up for the disappointment, and gave a splendid sermon, that was evi- dently appreciated. The Rattenbury St. people feel that they are under obligations to the pastor of Ontario St. (having his own quarterly ser- vice'm the morning, it made it heavy day's work to take a similar service in the evening,) and are not likely to for- get- the nen, Rev Mr Walker, the able pastor Of Vari) Circuit. Will prfeach. an intditi 'next; and Mr Young Will take Mr W 's Nero& TRE • .C4INTO NEW ERA, -List --a Few.
