SMASHED THE GPLOBE.—Friday even-
ing a horse stood tied to an electric
light poet in front of Cook's feed store.
The horse kept rubbing its neck against
theost,, ;nt •it loosened the rope that
holds, up ,the electric light, and this
40 dropped in the road, like a falling me-
teor. Fortunately no harm was done
beyond smashing the glass globe.
CIVI9 BOLIDAY.—In accordance with
a requisition to that effect, Mayor Mc-
Taggart has proclaimed Wednesday,
August 2nd, a civic holiday. This is
the date of the Forester's demonstra-
tion at Kincardine, and no doubt many
will avail themselves of the privilege
of going to that place. There are like-
ly to be excursions elsewhere the same
day.
RUNAwAY,--Fridayy evening a team
belonging to Mr D. A. Forrester had a
pretty lively runaway. A man was
engaged in hauling hay from a field
below the railway track, when the
evening train came along and fright-
ened the horses, and they broke away
at tremendous speed. First the man
was thrown off, then the load and
rack, then one wheel came off the wag-
gon, and soon another; and when the
horses got tired out, they brought up
against a fence, with part of the har-
ness and two wheels of the waggon at-
tached to them.

Public School will put suitable furnaces
in the school to .replace the stoves in.
use, but it is not likely that they will
be able to get them in until the Christ -
time holidays, the time now being too
short to allow of the work being done.
In the meantime the excavation will
be made, and everything put in readi-
ness, so that the change can be Made
at Christmas time.
THE FALL WHEAT.—A great deal of
the fall wheat has been cut in this vi=
cinity, and as far as we can learn, the
most of it is in splendid condition,with
the promise of a good yield. In some
places it has been affected slightly by
*places
rust, but was too far advanced to
to be seriously hurt. We have
heard of one field a short distance
down the London road, said to be en-
tirely destroyed, but if this is so, it is
the only exception to a good crop that
we know of.
THE Sicx;—Mrs A. Kennedy has
passed 'a critical week, and her many,
friends are in hopes that at present
she is in a fair way to recover. Mr A.
H. Manning has enjoyed a comfortable
week, being considerably better than
he was a few days ago. Mr Autterson
had to undergo an operation last t eek,
and seems to be improving. Mr Bert
Shannon is confined to his room by a
slight touch of fever. The youngest
child of Mr Seale has been very low for
several days, and its recovery is doubt-
ful.
MAGISTRATE'S CASES—On Thursday
last a couple of young men, who had
been principals in the assault on Mr C.
Dale, sr„ of Hullett, appeared before
Mr McGarva, J. P. Mr Dale did not
desire to see them harshly dealt with,
or they would certainly have been
committed for trial, therefore a nomi-
nal fine of . $5 and costs was imposed,
with $10 damages clone to the house.
They -got off very easy. On Monday
morning two men giving the names of
Prince and Green were brought before
Mayor McTaggart and Mr lMcGarva,
J. P., charged with an attempt to rob
the store of J. G. Scott, Brucefield.
Sufficient evidence was taken to clearly
establish the charge, and they were
committed for trial.-
INCORRECT.—In '-its Brucefield items
of -last week, the Seaforth Expositor
has the following:—"Mr Andrew Scott,
the' very efficient teacher of the Mill
Road school, sent seven pupils to the
entrance examination at Clinton, and
five of these, passed. This speaks well
for both teacher and pupils. Of the
five:siiccessful ones there are two who
deserve special mention. The first is
�' '"tittle David Ross, son of 'the late Rev
John Ross. This lad is only ten years
of age, and took 513 -marks out of a
possible 775, and stood highest of any
who wrote at Clinton." This 10 -year-
old lad certainly did remarkably well,
and is entitled to gr eat credit; but he's
not deserving of quite.,,all that he is
getting. Among the scholars from
Clinton Public School, writing at the
same examination, were six who ob-
tained higher marks than Ross, so that
the honor of Obtaining the highest
number of marks falls to Clinton. We
may state further that out of 36 who
wrote, 31 passed, being about 86 per
cent, and all of them made an average
of 468 marks, which is a remarkably
high average. These are facts which
Bpeak volumes for the efficiency of the
principal, Mr Lough, and show that he
has taken great pains in bringing his
pupils well forward.
THE WHEAT HARVEST BEGUN.—
The crops in this neighborhood have
ripened very fast within the last two
week. Haying is about over, and the
wheat harvest, which began on Fri-
day, is now general over a wide area.
Both the hay and wheat crop are good,
but the, late -sown oats do not look so
well. One fact standing out in bold
relief should impress itself upon our
agriculturists;,, It is very rarely that
crops fail to bring forth good results on
all lands that are drained. The pros-
pects are that the apple crop will be
much below the average.
THE MEMBER FOR WEST HURON—
Hon. X. C. Patterson, Minister of Mi-
litia, passed up to Goderich in a private
car, on Saturday afternoon, accompa-
nied by Mrs Patterson, Miss Patterson,
Miss Kathleen Patterson, Miss Annie
Patterson, Mr Jarvis, private secretary,
and Mrs Jarvis. None of his support-
ers met him here, doubtless due to the
fact that it was not known what time
he would pass through. They were on
their way to the Point Farm, where a
salute was fired from the one gun bat-
tery asthe party drove up to the door,
while a general welcome was extended
by, the numerous guests present.
NOTES.—A heifer belonging to Mx
W. Robinson, Huron road, was killed
by the late train one night last week.
A big excursion to the Tunnel will be
run from Kincardine and intermediate
points, on the 12th of August, under
the auspices of the Independent Order
of Foresters. We mentioned a couple
of weeks ago the serious illness of Mrs
Campbell, of Morris, as the result of "a
paralytic stroke; she never recovered,
and died on Saturday; she was the mo-
ther of Dr. Campbell, of Detroit, and
_Mr and -Mrs -Fair attended the funeral,
on Monday. At Seaforth, on Wednes-
day, Mr Lawrence Melville's little
daughter, Mina, fell while at play and
broke her right arm; Mr Melville for-
merly resided at Clinton. Mr James
McIntyre, of Stapleton, has moved to
town, having taken a position at the
Flax Mill. The next stock fair will be
held on the 9th of August; the town
authorities are doing their utmost to
make this -a permanent institution,
and farmers, for whose benefit the fair ;
was instituted, should do their part, as
only in that way can it be made a suc-
cess. Mr Butler, Goderich township,
will shortly tat e up his residence in
the house he has bought adjoining the
Roman Catholic Church. Mr James
Steep shipped a car load of hogs this
week; Jim says that "between buying
hogs and trying to run his farm, he has
enough to do this hot weather." A
meeting of the Collegiate Institute
Board was held on Friday; the only
business transacted was the passing of
few accounts, and the estimates, which
call for' $4,900, less $3,200 received
from various sources. The new band,
under the leaderabin of Mr A. Hollo-
way, has been organized, and will
likely favor the townspeople with some
music at an early day; an organization
of this kind is a certain advantage to a
town, and as "there's no money in it"
for the boys who belong, an effort
should be made in some way to give
them tangible support and encDurage-
ment. We have heard it said that Mr
Geo. Hoare, who for a i considerable
time has been trying to organize a
band, will start one in opposition, and
has already some of the instruments
purchased. The street watering cart
has done Particularly good service this
year. Mr A. O. Pattison is now the
owner of a beautiful chestnut driver,
purchased from Mr Chas. Williams,
Maitland con., Goderich township; it
is from Goderich Chief, not quite as
fast as an express train, but is, never-
theless, a good familydriver. Mr
Becker is engaged in aying a stone
crossing from Mr McKenzie's office
eastward; it was badly needed. The
insurance claim on the life of the late
John Junor, in the Canadian Order of
Foresters, was settled very quickly,
Mrs Junor receiving a chegtue for the
amount on the 19th inst., this is highly
commendable. Weddings still seem
to be the order of the day in town.
Mr W. Smithson leaves gates, ladders,
etc., on Dinsley's vacant lot, Albert
street, for purposes of sale, and on
Wednesday sight some .one who had
little to do carried off one of the lad-
ders, and put a gate on top of Scruton's
shop-, it is a piny that those doing this
could not be punished. The trial of
the ap peal before the Court of Revision
was ad ourned till this(Friday)evening.
A $10 ill was accidentally dropped in
the sitting room of Pikes Hotel,the
other day; Miss Bye, one of the girls
employed in the house, found it, and
returned it to the loser. Mr. T. Rum -
ball, wko has been relieving the Bel -
grave agent for a couple of weeks, is
pack at his po'st here. About 200 per-
sons availed thernselves of the excur.
sion to Gorlerieh yesterday,in eon-
rrect;:on with St. Paul's churcS. S, 1
BICYCLE RACES. — Considerable in-
terest was taken in the races on Tues-
day, got up under the auspices of the
local cyclists, and held on Recr eation
Park. The track was in good condi-
tion, but as there is considerable of
,an up grade in one portion of it,
it wasimpossible for riders to gat 1
tip very much speed. The first race
was one ,mile—three times around the
track—the entries for it being H. B.
Combe, G. McDonagh and Robert
Downs, the latter winning it in 3.20.
The next was a boy's race, the entries
being Cooper, Doherty, McMurray and
ghannon; two heats were run, Cooper
winning both in 1.04 and 1:03 respec-
tively. In the 2 mile race the entries
were S. Kitt, R. Gould, G. Emerson
and Ab. Cooper; Kitt and Gould were
given 15 seconds start. Kitt rode par-
ticularly well, but the pace and dis-
tance was too much for him, and the
race was eventually between Cooper
and Emerson; the former got the
lead and managed to keep it to the
end.. Both made . a big spurt on the
last round, Emersctin, who had follow-
ed Cooper closely all through, endeav-
oring,to pass him, but in this he failes1;
time 8.39. In the one-third mile B
class, the entries were Combe, Mc-
Donagh and Dick Downs, the latter
winning in one minute. The one-
third mile dash, A class, was contested
by Cooper, Emerson and Hovey, and
won by Cooper in 55 seconds. All the
races were made from a standing start.
The boys in town think they have a
-rich on thetGoderieh races on the 17th
prox. The Canadian Wheelsman's
Association have a rule that no bicye-
list, who is a member of the Associa-
tion, shall ride in any race on the lst
of July, other than those gob up by
the .association, this day being set
apart exclusively for the annual meet.
As Gederich and Seaforth riders did
participate in races on the lst of July,
other than those held at Sarnia, they
have been suspended for three months,
and are not at liberty to participate in
races during that time. Something
should now be clone towtirds the erec-
tion of a grand stand and a band stand
Mi the Park. Sloth are needed, and
