NOT A FREQUENT VISITOIL—Deputy-
• Registrar Dickson of Goderich was one
of the visitors to the Huron Central
last week. He stated that it was 14
years since he had been in Clinton, and
he was more than pleased with the
business of the place, its fine and sub-
stantial buildings, and the fair far ex-
ceeded his anticipations.
ACCIDENT—On Sunday afternoon, as
Mr Douglas McTavish, of Stanley, was
driving home from town, his horse
got frightened at a sow on the road,
and bolting to one side threw the
buggrover into the ditch. The occu-
pants were thrown out, but escaped
without being hurt. The top of the
buggy was wrenched off, and it was
otherwise injured.

rich townahip, gathered 20 barrelsof

WILI4SEPflETTEN,-Nr Whitely, of
the News -Record, has had an ' obstruc-
tion removed from his eye. He will no
doubt be able to see better, but, it is
not likely we fear, to improve his
political vision.
COINCIDENCE. - Forty -seen :years
ago last Friday a child was born in the
township of Goderich, and the first
person to care for it was Mrs Stanley,
the aged lady who died in Milburn, on
Friday afternoon last. The same child,
now advanced to manhood, was one of
the pall -bearers ather-funerairin--the.
person of Mr James Young. Thus she
was the first to care for hin4s. he was
one of the last to care for her.
PROMOTED.—We understand that
Mr George Hammill, B. A., or this
town, who has been teaching in Stir-
ling high school during the past year,
has resigned that position, having
been appointed Mathematical Master
in the Collingwood Collegiate Insti-
tute, at considerable increase of salary.
The numerous friends of Mr Hammill
will be pleased to learn of his success.

ferred to is a brother of Mrs James
Steep, Clinton.]
il`RUIT EVAPORATING -Mess rs-Wel-el-i-
& Town are literally niaking things
hum at the Evaporating Factory here;
they use up two hundred and fifty
bushels of apples daily, and have thus
far found the supply of fresh apples to
more than meet their requirements.
As their wage bill alone runs up to
about $150 a week, it will be seen that
it is quite a help to those engaged
there.
EMBARRASSING.—On Sunday even-
ing a young gentleman, accompanying
a lady to a certain church, was placed
for a few moments in a rather embar-
rassing position, for in pulling off his
overcoat, as he supposed, he also re-
moved entirely the undercoat, and
never discovered that he was in His
shirt sleeves until he threw the two
coats across the back of a pew.
THAT ORANGE HALL. -Our cotem-
porary is drawing aa exceedingly- fine
distinction which no one but itself can
see concerning the proposed erection!of
an Orange Hall. It denies that the mat
ter was discussed by the Orangemen,
yet admits that a committee repre-
senting the Orangemen was appointed
to see what a suitable lot and hall
would cost. If the matter was not
discussed this collimate were working
in the dark and did not know what
they were appointed for -a very likely
thing indeed. In point of fact the
editor of the ERA was asked the valua-
tion of a lot he is interested, in as a
possible location for .a hall. Our co -
tem may as well admit that the state-
ment originally made was correct, for
the more he attempts to refute it the
more clearly he shows that it was.

very warm spot for them. Great in-
terest will be taken in a partial eclipse

bills, cheaply and speedily execified,

THE APPLE BUSINESs.—Apple men
are feeling a little blue just at present
as regards the English apple market,
which has "gone to pieces" in fall
apples, there:being a glut and conse-
quent depreciation. A message was
received on Tuesday, intimating that a
• -centainiteavy_con_sigpment from here
would only net the shipper 00 cents a
barrel, which, divided up, represents
25c for the barrel, 25c for packing and
10c for the apples. A couple of Amer-
ican buyers were here • on Friday and
bought five thousand barrels.
RETURNED.—Mr Ben Cole, who has
been out in Dakota looking after his

trip to Manitoba, and is perfectly con-
tent to remain in Ontario: he visited a
number of threshings in the Souris
district, (one of the best sections in
q, Manitoba) and says that the yield of
wheat runs from 10 to15 bushels to the
acre, hut not more. Mrs McMath, who
was visiting at Stella while he was
away, has also returned to town.
A SMASH.—On Friday last, as Mr
John Cuming, jr., of Hullett, was com-
ing to town with a load of sheep for
exhibition purposes, the horses got
frightened as he was coming down
Mason's hill, on the gravel road. They
got beyond his control and ran into
the ditch where the waggon was upset
and somewhat smashed. One sheep
was instantly killed, and Mr Cuming
had two ribs broken. Mr and MrsCum-
ing, sr., were in a buggy a short dis-
tance behind, and knew nothing of the
occurrence until they came along and
found the smash in the ditch.
ELECTRIC LIGHT.—Mr Graham, of
Inglewood, who is interested with Mr
Shannon, in the electric light plant of
town, is here just at present to help
put in a new engine and dynamos.
The engine, a 70 horse -power, and
the dynamo, will provide much great-
er facilities than they have at present,
so that persons who have been want-
ing extra lights and were unable to
get theta, can be accornmodated. A
large and commodious engine room
has been built for the accommodation
of the new machinery, and the change
from the old to the new will he made
with just as little delay and interrup-
tion of the lights as possible.
DEATH OF MRS ALLANSON — The
many old friends of Mr Jos Allanson,
of this town, will be sorry to hear of
the death of his wife, which occurred
on Thursday. Deceased has been fail-
ing for some time and her death was
not imexpected. She was one of the
oldest residents of the town, coming
here nearly 40 years ago from Devon-
shire. For seven years she suffered
the affliction of being totally blind, but
some time ago received her sight and
enjoyed fairly good health. 55 years
ago she joined the Bible Christian
church, and her faith and zeal never
wavereato the time of her death. which
