GOT INTO TROUBLE.—W. J. Galla-
gher, of the Nanaimo Telegram, and
formerly of Clinton, has been commit-
ted for trial on a charge of criminal
libel, he having hinted that the Re-
form Club of that place was respon-
sible for a recent dynamite outrage
there.
TOWN COUNCIL.—The regular meet-
ing of the council takes place on Mon-
day night next. Several matters of
importance are likely to come up, and
the ratepayers should show their in-
terest in the labors of their representa-
tives by attending council occasional-
ly, as the meetings are always open to
the public.
TEMPLARs.—The following are the
officers of the I.O.G.T., elected April
27th:—L.D., H. B. Chant; C.T., Robt.
Chowen; P.C., J. W. Moore; V.T.,
Miss J. Dowzer; Rec. Sec.. D. Smith;
Fin. Sec., G. W. Rogers; Treas., Miss
B. Porter; M., A. Cooper; G., Miss M.
Goodwin; S., J. Carter; C., I. Jackson;
Organist, Miss A. Young.
ARBOR DAY.—Friday, the 4th inst.,
is the public school arbor day. The
Mayor, after consultation with a num-
ber of citizens, has decided not to issue
any proclamation this year, but it is
understood that some parties will have
trees far sale on the Market Square
to -day, so that those wishing such may
procure them.
NOT AN APPLICANT.—Mr Musgrove,
of Wingham, writes to us to say that
he is not an applicant for the position
of postmaster here, considering as he
does that a resident of the district
served should receive the appoint-
ment. Mr Musgrove's name has cer-
tainly been among the "rumored" ap-
plicants, but evidently without his
knowledge or consent. •
NEW WEIGH SCALES.—The town
having provided a set of new weigh
scales at the station, and also formed
a cattle yard, all export cattle and hogs
will be weighed, there, which will be
much more convenient, for shippers at
any rate. The scales on the market
will still be used, but the cattle yards
have been removed, and the nuisances
so often experienced will now be abated.
BICYCLE CLUB.—A meeting of cy-
clists was held on Friday evening, to
form a club,when the following officers
were appointed :—Pres., H. B. Combe;
Vice, E. McLean; S?c. Treas., G. F.
Emerson; Capt.,W. D. Doherty. Com-
mittee—Messrs A. Cooper, S. Smith,
R. Fleming. Arrangements will be
made for weekly meets, and it is also
intended to hold a big county meet
some time during the summer.
DEATH.—Mr Robt. Carter, formerly
of Stapleton, but who has been ern-
ployed in the car shops at Cleveland,
came back here last week with the
body of his wife, who had died in con-
finement in that city. She was the
youngest daughter of Mr John Penne-
baker, of the 15th con., Goderich town-
ship, and leaves two small children.
Mr Carter, although doing well over
there, says he will come back to Stap-
leton to reside.
AN EARLY SEASON. --Nearly all the
farmers in this section are entirely
through with their seeding operations,
and their opinion is that the ground
never worked nicer, nor did grain go
in better than it has this year. Fall
wheat also is looking unusually well,
and in some localities is twelve and
fifteen inches in length. As showing
the difference between this season and
las* it may be mentioned that on the
26th of April, 1893, Mr D. A. Forrester
had fifteen acres of flax sown; on the
same date this year he had 250 acres
sown.
A BAD FALL.—The other day, while
in Kincardine, Mr G. F. Emerson got
a pretty bad tumble from his bicycle,
and it is a wonder he did not break
his neck. With a couple of others he
was riding rapidly along one of the
streets, when a pug dog ran directly in
front of his wheel. There was no pos-
sibility of avoiding it, and he struck
the dog broadside, swinging the wheel
around and throwing him off. He fell
on his head and shoulders and was
rendered unconscious. They carried
him into a drug store and dressed his
wounds, which turned out to be not so
serious, although his face is pretty
badly scarred and his limbs pretty sore.
ODDFELLOWS' AT HOME.—The At
Hope � given by the Oddfellows, on
TIf Kaley evening last, in their lodge
room, was a pleasant and enjoyable
,.affair, and was attended by a large
number. Mr F. Alcock occupied the
chair. The program embraced the
following:—Instrumental quartette, by
Messrs Chant, Holloway, Gibbings and
Cantelon; solo by R. Foster; instru-
mental solo, N. Yellowlees; recitation,
Miss M. Washington; duet, by Mrs
Hoover and Mr Harland, instrumental
duets by Messrs Emmerton and Taylor,
and Stoneham and Emmerton. Ad-
dresses were also given by W. 0. Searle,
Rev E. A. Fear,' Holnsesvilie; Rev W.
Smyth and R. Stoneham. The latter
alluded to the growth of Oddfellowship
during its 75 years of existence, showed
what it was doing as a friendly and
fraternal society, and pointed out some
of its many advantages. During the
evening refreshments were served, and
the exerci§es throughout were very
enjoyable.
AQ
APPEALED.--T11e Bell Telephone Co„
which last year appealed against its
assessment here, and carried the ap-
peal to the County Judge, who decided
against the Oompany, has appealed
again this year. .As the judge was
very explicit in his derision last year.
it is not at all likely that it will be re-
versed.
P] itdONAL.—Mr John Esson, of Lon-
don, for seven years Reeve of Bayfield,
was in town on Wednesday on his
way over to this popular summer re-
sort. Mr Esson is looking well for a
man of over 70 years of age, and en-
joys good health, but his eyesight has
failed so much that he has not been
able to read a paper for five years.
Physically, he looks good for 20 years
yet, and his many old friends in Huron
will be glad if he lives to enjoy them.
NOTES.—A number of , Oddfel
from here attended church servic

ren of that place. From a recent 1
received from Mr Frank Paltr

alarmingly frequent, and the bes

low at one time this week, that al

but he has improved considerably, an
is in a fair way to recovery. Mr Geo
Emerson was in Toronto this week on
bicycle business; he says the demand
is so great that wholesale houses ex-
perience difficulty in filling orders. Mr
D. R. Menzies, a former resident of
town, but for several years residing at
Goderich, has again taken up his resi-
dence in town; we do not know what
he purposes doing, but he will no doubt
engage in some profitable occupation.
Miss Plummer is home, owing to the
illness of her father. Mrs Amos, of
Exeter, was thifi week visit4ig her bro-
ther, Mr A. H. Manning, wh'behas been
able to drive out recently. Jonathan
Miller, of the Albion, Goderich, was in
town on Monday. Miss Minnie Wil-
son, of Wingham, is visiting friends in
town, the guest of Mrs Wm. Everett.
A non -jury Assize sitting takes place
at Goderich, next week, before Mr
Justice Street. Mr W. Doherty sold
his favorite driver, Lena D. the other
day, at a good figure. At Woodstock
a magnificent fishing preserve is main-
tained by private parties, and Messrs
G. D. McTaggart and Will Coats have
received an or�yration to go and enjoy
some sport, an"slnvitation they intend
to accept; we are willing to believe any
fishing stories they may tell on their
return, provided a basket of "speckled
beautie' is sent to our address. Mr
James Steep has sold his first creamery
butter at 24c, wholesale, which he con-
siders. an exceptionally good figure.
Mrs W. Shannon, who has been in
delicate health for some time, is now
much better. Mr Thomas McKenzie
bought a horse this week, but it was
evidently not accustomed to hauling.
lumber, for it resented such menial
work, and until it could be brought to
realize its position, even the proverbial
good nature of Tom was put to a severe
test. Mr John Mennel, jr., has gone to
Paris, where he has secured a situation.
in a newspaper office. Miss Gale, of
Windsor, who has been the guest of
Mrs Tisdal, for about a month, re-
turned home this week. ,
