Westlake, of the lake shore road, Stanley, was in town, and commenting on the weather, he made the remark that "they had not had one day's sleighing down on the line all winter," the snow havjng been blown off the road. ACCIDENT.—The other day Mr Wm. East, who is employed at the Foundry, was in the moulding shop, when some hot iron sputtered and struck one of his eyes, burning, it seriously. For- tunately the eye sight was not injured, but it was necessary to call in the ser- vices of a doctor. • BUSINESS CHANGE.—Mr Jas. Young, baker, has disposed of his baking busi- ness to Messrs Powell & Clufi. The former is anative of town and the lat- ter of Seaforth. Both are well-known, pushing young men, and will do their utmost to capture a share of the busi- ness that is going.'

For the last twelve years, (since leaving Clin- ton) be has been a resident of Northern Michigan, where he in farming The winds of the state have bleached his -. hair-. pretty .well,' but otherwise- he is just the same as of old. He states that times are unusually dull there. AN EARLY SEASON.—Monday was a beautiful, spring-like day, and so genial was the atmosphere that business men ^-^ - had their doors thrown open like on a summer day. It was really remarkable weather for the 5th of March. Reeve McMurchie, speaking of tie apparent earliness of the season, remarked that in the latter part of March, in the year 1860, he had seen farmers in this coun- ty sowing peas. They may do it this month yet. ,Is HE A BIGXMIST — Frank Wood- hull.of Arkona, has been committed for trial on a charge of bigamy. About ten years ago he was a member of the:Rev Mr Savage's Hallelujah Band, and did considerable work as an evangelist in Huron County. He was one of the party out boating when Miss Clegg, of "'Morris, was drowned, and public opin- ion, jnstiy or unjustly, censured him for carelessness. When he left the coun- ty there were rumors about him being a married man, though he posed as a single one. THE SICK.—Mrs G. Potts has been very low for several days. The wife of Mr R. Heywood, and of Mr H. Stevens, we are glad to learn, show signs of im- provemont. Mr J. W. -Mills -has been confined to bed for several day, but is slightly better. Mr Whitehead, Mrs Carline, Mr C. Spooner and Mrs Irwin, sr., we regret to say, are all in very low health. Miss Fortune has almost fully recovered from her late illness. Mrs E. Watson, of Blyth, sister of Mrs D. B. Kennedy and Mr R. Fitzimons, has been seriously ill for several days. CORN.—Since Mr Perrin let the pub- lic know through the NEw ERA that he bad corn for sale for feed, he has - sold a considerable quantity to some of the different stock -feeders in this vicinity, who know by experience its valt>,p and benefit. Although.'Per- rin is a strong protectionist. he thinks a mistake is being made rn keeping the duty on corn, and he has been do- ing his hest to get it removed. It would be a big boon to farmers if the duty was taken off, and no harm would be done, as the price of coarse grains is not increased one cent by it.. . THE PORN TRADE. --It bas been re- peatedly shown that hundreds of live and dressed bogs are shipped from this place that, seemingly, should be cured here instead of being shipped away. Mr Steep has been shipping live hogs; Mr CanteleOls now syhipping live ones and Mr'bitthley has shipped many dead ones. What is to prevent a joint stock company being formed to con- duct a Pork Packing business. All industries of this and like nature must have a beginning, sometimes small, and it does seem to us that this is one of the very best openings for a sup- posedly profitable business. BVANGELISTIC Senviots.—The ser- vices in the Rattenbury street Metho- dist church are still in progress, and growing in interest anal power. There seems to be a manifest concern an the part of numbers of young people, as well as many who are heads of families, to turn to God to find salvation. -,.- Crowds of young men attend the ser- vices nightly, and many are serionsly impressed. The singing in future Will be frorn "Songs of Salvation," as used by Crossley & Hunter. The pastor has been ably assisted by Rev. Wm. Smyth, ofOntario St. church. The services will be continued during the friends. month. Corrie and invite your riend SHOLLI nE 00,4XORP.-- 44 its an- • nual meeting in Januaryp, the directors of the Ifruron Central decided to hold, the- fall show on .Sept. 25r-26. At the annual meeting of the West Riding So-,ciety, in Gedericb, a week later, the same date was, unfortunately selected by 'awn:else: but the clashing of the tWOr societies was not discovered until the other day, although Clinton dates were published at the time. Some anni; cable adjustment of the difficulty should be made, but as Clinton had its dates first'selected, it hardly seems fair that it should give way. Nom; —Mr W.
