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 Goderich, on Sunday, with their b ren of that place. From a recent 1 received from Mr Frank Paltr Los Angeles, Cal., formerly of Clin he states that he is very low with dread disease, consumption, and it will only be a matter of a short before he will be called home.

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.

Shannon, who has been in delicate health for some time, is now much better.
