Our attention has been drawn to the fronts of the business places of Messrs Jackson. Biddlecombe and Searle; some evil disposed person has been cutting their plate glass windows by using a diamond ring and making cuts across the lights, also cutting the sashes withack-knives and writing on:the walls of the halls going upstairs; we think i,hat the authorities should • try and stop this work, by offering a reward,as our citizens' property should be protected if possible. DEATHS.—Mrs Fox, better known as "Granny Fox," died on Friday morn- ing, at the age of 86 years and,6 months; she has been a widowed resident of town for a number of years. Her hus- band, the late Robt. Fox, was f.,rmer- ly a resident of Goderich township, but has been dead some 20 years. Mrs Fox was formerly a Miss McLean, of Nova Scotia, and after her husband's death she went t here to reside, sub- sequently returning and remaining here; she was a member of Willis church; Mrs McLeod, of town, is her step -daughter, and Mr John Fox, of Morden, Man., her step -son. Mr Thos. marred, of the Flax Mill, suffered a s .re and sad loss, on Saturday morn- ing, by the death of his wife, at the early age of 36 years, from pnuemonia. She leaves a family of six young child- ren. 99 FIRE.—At about 6.30, on Friday morning, smoke was seen issuing from the livery stable of Mr J. B. Kennedy, and on opening the doors the whole interior was discovered to be densely filled with smoke. The rigs were quickly run out, and when an effort was made to release the horses, they were horrified to find that eight of .them lay dead in their stalls, having evidently been suffocated by the smoke. Three others were alive, and with difficulty were got out into the open air. The fire seemed to be in the hay in the loft, there being no sign of fire in the lower part of the stable. It was some little time before the engine sent a stream of water into the hay loft, and fortunately the fire did not make much headway, so that it was checked beforemuch damage was done to the building. Among the horses suffocated were several that were fav- orities withpeople who patronized the livery, being "Dr. Reeves driver," the matehed black team, and a driver owned by Dr. Turnbull, who is exceed- ingly unfortunate, having lost a buggy at the previous fire. The was an in- surance of $600 on the barn, but no- thing on the contents; Mr Kennedy thought he had $600 on contents also, but through a misunderstanding the policy was never executed, consequent- ly he has the misfortune of losing the entire value of his horses. Mr Ken- nedy was the last person in the stable, and he is confident that everything was perfectly secure at that time. Persons who passed the stable at about 5.45, heard the horses making an un - Usual noise, and concluded that some of them were suffering from colic, but they saw nothing whatever to indicate that the building was On fire. • S iooTINt ,—Mr W. Grigg was very successful in the gun contest at Toron- to last week, winning $185, Mr Black - all was also a winner to a considerable amount. RUNAWAY. ---On Sunday, while Miss F. Rance was seated in the cutter of Mr W. Jackson, waiting for a friend, a rig driven by a couple of boys, ac- cidently ran into the cutter, and up- set it, throwing Miss Rance out; the horse then ran away, and before it was captured had cut itself somewhat and slightly damaged the cutter. MILITIA., -The following changes in the 33rd Huron Battalion, No. 4 Com- pany, Clinton, are gazetted: —To be catain, Lieut. Hugh B. Combe; vice A. M. Todd, who retires from the ser- vice; to be lieutenant, Second Lieut. Harry T. Rance; vice H. B. Combe, promoted; to be second lieutenant, provisionally, M. D. McTaggart; vice H. T. Rance, promoted. We hope and expect to seeMo. 4 company flourish un- der its new command, as we under- stand that this is the first permanent appointment, of captain since the ap- pointment of the late Captain Murray, and is the first appointment in the his- tory of the company where the captain holds his commission by virtue of being a certificated officer of the Royal School of Infantry. THE MONTHLY FAIR.—The fair in- augurated in Clinton, on Wednesday, was the biggest kind of a success, so far as attendance was concerned. A very large number of magnificent horses were offered for sale, mostly heavy draughts; some light horses were also offered. It is well known that the horse market has been depressed for some time, consequently sales were not quite as active as many would like to have seen them; never- theless a number of horses changed hands, at fair prices. Among the buy- ers present were John Mooney, Lon- don; T. Tipling, Detroit; J. McMann, Seaforth; P. McGregor and C. Mason, of Brucefield: White, of Winnipeg; Fowler, of Tuckersmith; Snell, Exeter; Sullivan, Lucan; Berry, Hensall, and others. Little or no cattle were brought'in for sale. The farmers are certainly to be complimented for doing their share in making the fair numeri- cally, a success, and we trust that if the venture is continued monthly, as it should be, the advantages and bene- fit to all parties will be so manifest that there will not be the slightest dis- position to discontinue them. We be- lieve that the sales on a future occa- sion will be much greater, because buyers now know just were they can get well -matched teams and choice breeders, and will be prepared to buy more extensively. NOTES.—Mr Will Cole, late of Clin- ton, has got settled in Chattanoga, Tenn., and writes "The weather is just like 'when the spring time comes gentle Annie, no snow, frost or cold." Mr Geo.

A Clintonian, in Detroit, alluding to the statement that "there were about 100 Clinton. lane in that city alone," informs us that the statement is only about half Cor- rect, as there are nearer two hundred than one; this is all the more cause for regret.

This has had a stiffening effect on all the cotton stocks throughout the country. The rise in raw cotton is due to light crops, so that it is not a temporary advance."— From the Canadian Dry,Goods Review.

CDG�NS CLINTON There is much being said and done about business. The question is whether it is better to do a strictly cash business, or as usually done, Cash and Credit. Some are taking the stand for cash or ready pay only. We are not doing so, as we consider it better not, as there are times when the best customers have not cash to pay, as is frequently the case with farmers, as their re- turns come in the fall. We are prepared to furnish customers with all the goods they may require for Cash or Credit. We will allow six per cent off for Cash, as money is worth that percentage in business, and we are prepared to sell as cheap as any one in the trade. We will not be undersold by anyone.,,' Spring Stock coming in freely—are now ready for busi3-- -- - ness. Come and see our stock.

"You will not find me wearing overall. when I can buy a pair of Pants like that for $2, says another." "I was rather doubtful of my being able to purchase a pair of Pants for better wear for $3, but I did"—another Voluntary recommends. "A pair of your $2 Pants is worth three pairs of ordinary overalls, and then not only that, but you have a fit in a good looking Tweed,'' states another. "Best thing for wear that I buy in Clothing at any price" asserts another. "Here's one of your $2 Pants I have worn at almost every kind of rough work last fall, ditching, plow- ing, threshing and general farm work, and look at them,clean as a whistle—they wash like a towel; for the money this is the best value you ever turned out of your establishment"— affirms another.

We are putting cleaner, purer and stronger goods than ever in this line, always improving and ever continuing to give better value for the people's money.
