How2.—The Oddfellows of town
issued a large number of neatly printed
invitations for an "At Home," in their
lodge -rooms last (Thursday) evening,
and expect to have an interesting time.
'RErtf.NED.—Mr Jas. Manning and
wife (son of Mr Lawrence Manning, of
town) who have been in Manitoba for
i►' year or so, have returned and are at'
,4 Present stopping with Mrs Manning's
parents in Colborne. We have not
beard what he intends doing.
Gin .n WEST, -Mr R. A. Newton,
who has been stopping with Mr Jas.
Stevens, of the base line, left Monday
for Elkhorn, Man., where he intends
to reside in future. Hesays he always
travels by the C. P. R. and purchased
his ticket from the Clinton Agent, A.
T. Cooper.
LEFT TowN.—Dr. Appleton, the
oldest medical practitioner here, having
been associated with the growth of the
town for many years, has moved to
'London, where for the present he will
reside. He is in declining; health, and
at his advanced age, there is very little
spect of restoration to health and
Strength.
VCH OF A SAMENESS.—The friends
a,oertain clergyman not unknown to
Clintohians, are joking him about some
little coincidences that are said to have
happened recently in, his 'ddomestic
circle. `His wife latelyresented him
With a daughter, and the Name even-
ing his- i' ping mare had a foal, his
cow had calf, and his cat five kittens.
F �f
Holt ,-The other days lady lost
a $5 bill at 'the station here, and did
not miss it' until sheof to Hepneall,
when she, informed a friend who was
coming this way. When he arrived
bere,he stated the matter to the agent,
but nothing was known about the mo-
ney. However, shortlyafter, while
cleaning up, Mr Jacob Slowman found
the money, and it was returned to its
rightful owner,
Rv 4wAY.—Mr T. C. Doherty had a
narrdw eseu a with his team on Fri-
day last. He bad , been out into East
Wawanosh delivering an organ, and
was on his way hack, when one of the
springs of the waggon broke, allowing
the box to drop and throwing him out
beneath the wheels. The horses took
fright and ran away, dragging him
along the road for some distance. For-
tunately he escaped without any brok-
en bones, but he was severed bruised
and the waggon smashed.
DEATHS.—A sister of Mr James
Sheppard, carpenter, died very sudden-
ly last week in Huron township; she
was in a buggy attending a funeral,
when she fell over and instantly et -
piled; she leaves a grown up family.
Mr Robt. Autterson, who has resided
in town for several years, died on
Wednesday evening; he has been suf-
fering from asthma for some time; he
formerly resided - in Hullett ; a wife
and several small children survive him.
ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning,
while Mr Stewart Plummer was en-
gaged in pruning a tree, he missed his
footing and fell to the ground, a dis-
tance of ten or twelve feet. He struck
on the small of his back, and suffered
a great deal of pain. A doctor was
called in, who found that no bones
were broken, and advised rest and
quiet. Mr Plummer still suffers con-
siderable pain, hut his many friends
are in hopes that nothing more than a
few days confinement to his room will
be the result.
CYCLE NOTES.— W. Doherty, jr.
and Syd Smith have purchased special
Brantford Racing Bicycles from Coop-
er & Co., and will no doubt help in
keeping and
to the front in sport-
ing circles. There will be a meeting of
the Clinton Bicycle Clnb Friday even-
ing, in the Council Chamber, to receive
the report of 1893 and elect officers for
the present season; all cyclists are ask-
ed to attend. MI G. F. Emerson sold
four bicycles at Gorrie in one day last
week; he's a hustler. On Monday
night Mr Emerson sold three Whit -
worths at Londesbpro to Messrs J.
Bell, H. Cade and W. H. Whitely.
SETTLED:—Mr Power, of Toronto,
Insurance Adjuster, was in town on
Wednesday, settling up the claims of
Mrs T. Yooper in connection with the
late lire. The companies interested
were the Commercial Union, Norwick
Union and Queen's, represented by Mr
C. Ridout. The full amount of insur-
ance, $3050, Was allowed. Mr Mason

sioners for West Huron met at the
Inspector's office, Clinton, on Monday
afternoon last, and granted licenses
to all the old applicants, except in the
case of the Grand Union, Clinton,
which was held over until the next
meeting of the commissioners, owing
to the illness of the present licensee.

tion from Winghanp was refused.

Street..
Hot'sE or REF i0E.—Mr W, Proud
fort, chairman of the House of Refuge
Committee, informs us that in response
to their advertisement, between twen-
ty and thirty sites are offered the
committee for a House of Refuge, As
soon as Mr Darrow is through with his
legislative � duties, so as to allow Mr
Proudfoots absence from his office,
the committee will visit different
places and inspect Houses of Refuge,,
n order to report at the June meet
ing of the County Council; If the re-
port of the committee is favorable, it
is not unlikely that the council will at
once proceed, with the erection of a
suitable building. The • matter, should
not be delayed any longer than is ab-
golutely necessary.
I} mtpxnu ENTS.—Quite a number
of improvements- are,being-made about
town•—Ex-Mayor Doherty is making.a
handsome lawn. • Mr D. Cantelon is
doing similar work. Mr H. Cantelon
is draining and otherwise improving
his grounds. Messrs I. Taylor and
McOlacherty are putting up gas -pr
fences. Mr W. 0. Searle has formed a
neat boulevard in front of his red.,
deuce, and enclosed it by a wire fence,
'Messrs. Taylor & Sons are fitting up
the rear of their store by raising the
floor, putting a neat glass -enclosed of-
fice in the centre, and providing plush -
covered settees for their customers; it
will be' quite an improvement when
finished; S. S. Cooper has it in hand.–..
Mr. Jamea Twitchell recently purchas-
ed a • new safe to replace the one that
went through the fire, and has fitted
up a neat office at the rear of his store.
HOUSE CLEANING}.—This is the time
of year when the average member of
the fair sex suffers from a speciesof fev-
er known as "house-cleaning." The
symptoms usually consist of the doing
up of the hair in a linen duster, and
the introduction of a plan whereby
the head of the house is made to eat
canned salmon off an upturned biscuit
box for Ins dinner. Coupled with this
the bedroom curtains are allowed to
fly out of the u -stairs windows, and
there is a wild desire to waltz all the
furniture on to the front lawn. At
such a period, the average lord of
creation is made to feel that he is one
of the biggest mistakes that nature
ever perpetrated, and he is looked on
with scorn unless he is prepared to
carry the piano under one arm, and a
stove under the other, while he play-
fully balances one or two other arti-
cles on his head. When he fails to ac-
complish a few little feats of that de-
scription, he usually gets the hint that
he is only in the way, and that he had
better go into the back yard and make
a bonfire of the rubbish.
NOTES. --.The regular sitting of the
Division Court was held here yester-
day, and a number of minor cases dis-
posed of. One night last week a livery
team belonging to Heneall became un-
manageable right in front of Jackson
Bros'. store and jumped on the side-
walk—rig and all; for a minute it look-
ed as if they would go through the
window, ..but,Q,they..,_were . fortunately
quieted. Mr ' Wilson, of St. Thomas,
has closed up his woollen mills store
here, owing to his business elsewhere
requiring all his attention; Mr Baktli•,
who was with him here, has gone to
Grand Rapids. Dr. Reeve has decided
on leaving West Superior for some
point in Nebraska, and Mrs Reeve and
part of the family are at present in
Toronto. The wife of Mr Geo. Potts,
who has been seriously ill for some
time, is now, we are pleased to learn,
out of danger, and on Sunday was able
to dress herself for the first time in
months; Mr Potts desires to return
his heartfelt thanks to " the many
friends for their kindness and attention
during her illness. A son of Mr J. A.
Nelles, of Guelph, formerly of Clinton,
was married a few days since to an
American lady. Mr W. Weir, wh
has been on the sick list, is now around
again. Three small boys from town
were guilty of breaking into a school
house in Hullett a few days since and
stole a foot ball; it was recovered by
Constable Wheatley. Mrs Cullyford,
of Detroit, was visitinglaer mother, Mrs
silty. Mr A. H. Manning, though
very weak, has been able to sit out on
the verandah the last few days, and
took a drive with Mr Farran on Tues-
day. Messrs R, Jenkins, R. Baker
and T. Wigginton . have bought the
right for a patent farm gate for six
townships. Mies Currell, formerly
with John Robertson, was in town
this week. Mr Barr, of St. Thomas,
father of Mrs J. W. Irwin, is visiting
here, and returns home to -morrow.
Mrs May,wbo continues in poor health,
has rented Mr Knox's cottage, on Rat-
tenbury St. Doc. Blackall dehorned
nearly sixty head of cattle on Wednes-
day, and attended several professional
calls in addition. Several of the
teachers are &way this week attending
the Teachers' Institute meeting. Mr
W. H. Hine who has been confined to
the house by illness, is now able to be
out again. Mrs Carlini) still continues
in poor health. Mr R. Mason has
moved into one of the Mountcastle
houses; he is negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Lee hotel property, and if
he succeeds will refit it for hotel pur-
poses; the property being inside the
re limits, will require to be brick. Mr
Ben Tomlinson passed through an im-
portant event, on Wednesday, when
he was married to Miss Whiteman an
estimable young lady of town; they
will commence housekeeping in the
place lately occupied by Mr John Har-
land. Cantelon Bros. handled last
week 5,000 dozen eggs.and about 1,500
lbs. of butter for export, and are now
buying potatoes for shipment. Miss
Susie Tate, of St. Paul's, Minn., also
Miss Christie of Exeter, are the guests
of Mrs T. M. Carling. Among those

tary Ball, at Goderich last week were:—
Captain Combe, Captain Rance, Lieut.
Shaw, Lieut. McTaggart, Misses •Rance
,
Read, McHardy, Logan and Messrs N.
Fair. W. P. Spalding, T. Jackson and
L. Kennedy. The following, from a
St. Paul paper, has reference to a son
of Mr George Nimens, Clinton:—"Tbe.
storm king, in his fretful humor last
.Wednesday night, did not deter the
consummation of one of the prettiest
weddingsever witnessed here. the con-
tracting parties being Chas. S. Nimens
and Miss Mamie E. Adams, with Rev.
S. W. Simbnds officiating; Fred. W.
Gosewich acted as best man, and Miss
Kittle Adams, sister of the bride, acted
as bride§maid; about forty guests were

A Beautiful Dress.
It is a. frequent experience with ladies that when a dress is
bought with care and, made with taste, some indefinable
thing is lacking, to, give it the perfect touch of beauty.
It is the supplying of this that has made
Priestley's Dress Fabrics
So highly esteemed the world over. For beauty, texture
and enduring quality they are unequalled.
Manufactured as they are, in pure wool and in silk and wool
interwoven, these goods have a. soft richness that is a
perfect delight to a lady of taste.
A dress' of .Priestley's fabrics retains its style and beauty as
long. as there is any of it left, hence they are the most
economical to buy.
Priestley's goods are mostly in Black, and Black and White,
and you can be sure you are getting the genuine by see-
ing that they are rolled on a varnished board with the
words "Priestley's trade mark". stamped across the end;
unless they are so rolled they are not Priestley's.
You can get Priestley's Dress Fabrics from us. We are sole
agents for Clinton,and have a fine ramie for you to select
from. '
Something New
Stewart's Duplex Safety Pins
We have just received from the makers in New York a ship-
ment of these pins. They are a great improvement over
the ordinary safety pin, lock as freely in the dark as in
the light, and from either side, cannot miss fastening by
passing through, the point is completely hidden and pro-
tected when fastened, and also have the additional ad-
vantage of the "guard attachment" over the coil, so that
the fabric cannot catch therein, as is so often the case
with the common safety pin. \% e have them in three
sizes, small, medium and large. They cost a cent or two
a dozen more than the common kinds, but then the're
far better.
