CARRIED OFF.—Mr. W. Smithson
Lada number of ladders for sale on
Dinehire.corner. Recently two of
them have been carried off contrary
to law. The party who took them is
known and if they are notreturned or
paid or criminal proceedings will
be taken. The eaeieat and most
honorable way out of the difficulty
is to pay for the ladders at once.
AMUSING:—A report was current
last week that Lack Kennedy was
down with fever. About eight
years ago Lack was afflicted with
that malady. It is hardl3 reason-
able to think the rumor has been
going the rounds for eight years.
The report is without a particle of
truth. Mr. Sennedy is attending to
his every -day duties.
SUCCES6FUL SALE.- James Elliott's
sale, near Porter's I-Iill last Friday,
of stock and implements was one-.
of the most successful of the season.
The stock sold well, milch cows
running as high as $38. Every-
thing else sold well. There were
probably six hundred people pres-
ent, and the total receipts wore about
$1,300, and Mr. Elliott is well
satisfied with the result. He moves
to Goderich this week. T. M. Car-
ling was the auctioneer.
RAT RACE.—It was a race for life
find the scene was in Watt's drug
tore on Tuesday evening, laet week.
he rat was about the size of an
rdinary cat and found its way
from adjoining premises into the
drug store early in the afterd"con.
The monster was shadowed for sever-
' al hours,and after a severe tussle with.
Mr. and Mrs. Watts, Messrs. .Riter'•
Coats and M. McTaggart, was cap
tured and killed, It was thelarges,
and most plucky rat we have eve
seen.
LEG BROKEN.—Mr. W.G. Sulith,
of Irwin's grain elevator, happened
with a very unfortunate accident on
Fatty morning. He was alight-
ing from a flat car to the ground,
after leisurely admiring some ma-
chinery and a stationery engine in
the Grand Trunk yard, enroute
from Exeter to Brantford. In
acme way, while leaving the car,
or in striking the ground, his loft
leg just above the ankle was broken.
The break was clean. Mr. Smith,
though often in a more dangerous
position in the railway yards during
the ten years he has worked at the
elevator, never before received more
than a scratch. He will of course
be' confined to the house for a
considerable time.
A TRIFLE )Q. SHARP.—Mir.
Knoke, a farmer o`f'Logan township
is ,a sadder but wiser man than he
was a few days ago. He sold some
solt maple wood a short time ago to
constable Dennison and some also
to Mr- Geo. Lark worthy for $2.50 a
cord. Wood got scarce in the town
and Mr. Knoke found that he could
make more on hie by selling it on
the market by the load. Ho, there-
fore, refused to deliver the wood he
had sold by the cord but being awed
for damages he was compelled to
settle with the parties for hia over
sharpness. He thought because he
had received no money on the wood
the parties could not hold him to
the sale.—Mitchell Recorder.
RADICAL HEAD GEAR CHANGE.—
A correspondent complains that he
cannot take his walks abroad with
his head uncovered without being
exposed to gibes and flouts and
sneers and being treated as a lune
tic. "And yet," he asks, "who but
the batter would suffer by the al-
most complete disuse of the hat?
The advantages would be many: we
should entirely avoid baldness
(whioh our hats induce); our heads
would be as cool as our faces (which
we never think of covering, though
it is leas .protected with hair than
our heads); we should save our
money and a great deal of trouble.
In this climate we need not bo
afraid of sunatrokea, and we should
avoid colds in the head.

CHURCH WoRK.—The Synod Re
port for last year just to hand shows
St. Thomas Church, Seaforth, to
have made the largest contribution
to Church work, both at home and
abroad, of any Church of England
in the county. As the members of
Church families in the town are not
more than one half those reported
from the other towns in the county,
it speake well for the liberality of

through the hearts, Rey. Mr. Hod-
gins is to be congratulated on the
success attending his ministration.

A GOOD MOVE. —At the special
council meeting last week Mayor
Doherty and deputysreeve Kennedy
made a good move when they spoke
of the advisability of increasing the
park grounds. We •are given to
understan that four or five acres
adjoining the present ground can
be purchased from Mr. Fair at a
very reasonable figure. Clinton
should have larger and better
grounds, more commodious build-
ings, and a good track. The press
ent ground• and track for the show
of 1892 was anything but suitable
or in keeping with the occasion.
Miss O'DONNELL.—The enter-
tainment given in the town hall on
Monday evening by Jessie F.
O'Donnell, under the auspices of the
Mechanics' Institute, was better
attended than has been the fate of
these gatherings for some years
past, and yet there was a lamentable
number of empty chairs. We can
only say that those who were not
present missed a rare treat. Miss
O'Donnell_ hold the rapt attention
of the small but appreciative audi-
ence for over an hour. And no one
could have heard her without feels
ing better for listening to the high
toned purity of her discourse. She
was complete mistress of her subject
(Three Centuries of English Lure
Song) giving abort quotatioes1from
every author worthy of note, many
of which were exceeding humorous.
And winding up with a few stanzas
from the pen of our poetess, Clara
H. Mountcastle. She has a cultur-
ed and musical voice, speaks with
great ease and fluency. Her bear-
ing nn the platform is exceedingly
attractive. The pleasure of the
