Sea lefts ands akin GoderichTOWnship Fon THE PUBLIC.—The party that took the cedar log from the side of the road on the Bayfield con„ last Friday night, must not suppose they were notseen, as the owner of the cedar both saw and recognized the party; it is only out of respect and a kindly feeling toward the family that he showshis forbearance: DEATH. -:--The remains of Mr Win. Sterling, of Gardner, North Dakota, arrived at Clinton, on Wednesday, he having died a few days previously, of typhoid fever. • He was the second son of Mr William Sterling, of the 6th con., Goderich township, and has been a resident of Dakota for about 12 years.

IT FELL OVER.—On Monday about 5 a. in„ Mr W. Cole was bringing his engine out of his gate on the way to John Jervis', and the ground being covered with snow, he failed to see how near he was to the side until he had driven the two right wheels into the ditch. Most of the machinery be- ing on the right side of the engine, it tipped over. Two teams soon had it back again, but he lost the day getting her repaired, as the pump, governors, &c. werebroken in the fall. CAUGHT BY A FALLING TREE.—On Monday, as Geo. Huller and W. Pick- ard, sr., were helping W. Ramsey get some logs home from Ford's bush, Huller and Ramsey were cutting the tree down, and as one was pulling, it broke off up apiece, and before he could get out of reach, it had fallen on him. In trying to get out of the way he fell on his face and dragged himself: some feet further,, when the tree fell just where he had -dragged, himself from. Had the tree. fallen a few seconds soon- er it would have, no doubt, made it pretty serious work, but he very lucki- ly escaped with a severe bruise on one leg. We are glad it was no worse. 1'.

SHOULD BE STOPPED.—Wednesday night being. Hallowe'en, the usual tricks were indulged in by the small boys. We have no objection to the youngsters having fun—any amount of it—but fun and mischievous destruc- tion of property are two different things. We noticed in several places where gates•were taken away and hid, and gardens, lawns and shrubbery ex- posed to the highway cows, a plentiful supplyof which roam our streets. We would advise those urchins to be more careful in the future or trouble may follow., ,End NNW RA,] ' (Intended for last week.) A NARROW ESCAPE,—Three of the Bayfield party to the World's Fair came very near being among those who had just a terrible experience. in the Battle Creek wreck, Miss Annie Elliott was on the rear section of the east bound train, a mile behind the wrecked one, and at that distance could hear the heart-rending screams of the burning victims.

There was a large gathering at the Temperance convention on Wednes- day, and the delegates expressed their pleasure at the cordiality and hospital- ity of the villagers, who entertained them on this occasion. TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION.—We have been giving our readers report after report of land sales in Bayfield till people have learned to look for one each week, and would be disappointed if none should appear. A Detroit man set the ball arolling, and as the snows of winter draw near it has kept in- creasing its pace and expanding its size, till now things are moving at eye- opening speed. In fact there has been some danger of reducing the column to a mere catalogue of property changes. Since our last report the River hotel has changed hands, and will in future be under the management of Mr Ed. Swarts, formerly of Wingham and Goderich, he having bought out Mr Jas. Pollock's right for about $500. Mr Swarts has purchased the hotel from his brother, John E., who managed it very successfully for some years pre- vious to Mr Pollock. We are inform- ed that he intends to double its capa- city for the accommodation of summer visitors, by erecting a large summer hotel to the east of the ppregsent one. This will help to meet thd' long felt want. Mr Pollock moves next week into his house "at the corner." Also Miss Sarah Reid has disposed of her property, consisting of house and lot, opposite the English church parsonage, to Mrs • Walmsl1ey; we are informed that Miss Reid will build on the other property she owns in the village.

The Kingston News of Oot. 4th, hes the following flattering notice:—it was a fairly large and much pleased audience that at- tended the performance sof Guy Brother& minstrels at Martin's Opera house last evening. The performance was good— funny, intensely funny in pi:rtg--and one good feature of it was that the jokes did not have an aged odor,'most of thein being fresh and oilginal. In the spectacular part of the show the performance of McDonald the "fiefible state," and Everest, the club swinger,, were especially meritorious. The "Robin Hood" ,scene and several of the specialties introduced in it were' Otte pleas,. ing, as was also the stink drill' by the Gory brothers.

No, dear; we are not. The Signal makes all due allowance for the verdancy of the young prize list journalist—who, although a loud shouter in Orange matters, is nevertheless exceedingly green as a newspaper man. By -the - way why doesn't the News -Record greeny get a note from the secretary of the West Wawanosh Agricultural Society that no newspaper in the county got a copy of the prize list of - finally except the News -Record? That would settle the whole controversy and prove that the News -Record fcr once in its existence had told the truth. And while we are on the question of prize lists, why did the News -Record young man on the 27th of September,, steal a portion of the prize list of the Northwestern show from the Goderich Star without giving credit to that journal? When the fresh young fel- low who runs the News -Record goes to the bad place where all liars go, old Satan will have to hang him up to dry until he gets seasoned, as in his present condition he is too green.toburn.— Goderich Signal. A MODEL EptABLIBHMENT.—The Flint Globe of a few days since, thus refers to a couple of well-known Clintonians:—Cole & Cole, merchant tailors and furnishers, are now settled in their new store in the Dar - ant & Dort block. They have the north half of the block, including the entire first floor, a part of the basement for storage and toilette, and a large operating room on Keo - and floor, reached by a broad and handsome flight of stairs. The store proper is a mod- el. At the left from the front to the stair- way is shelving for furnishing goods, with a haridsoilie counter in front of them.
