NOT DEOIDED.—Mr R. J. Tuffts, of Belgrave, was in town for a short time on Saturday. In conversation con- cerning the future of the Grand Union Hotel, Clinton, Mr Tuffts said it was not yet decided who would riin it, as there were several applicants for it. AOCIDENT.—An eight-year old son of Mr John Ford'met with a serious ac- cident on Tuesday. While playing on. a gate he ;fell headforemost to the ground, rendering him unconscious; and it was a considerable time before he rallied. No bones wer e broken, and although he is recovering he is still not out of danger. WILL PIP$ IT.—In order to properly water the Cricket -Tennis crease on the Park, the club have arranged with Mr James Fair for a supply of water, and will • lay a pipe to connect with one at the head of the pond, running it underground, so that it will not in any way interfere with. the Park. • The Park committee has given permission for the work to be done, subject to ap- proval of two of its members. FOOTBALL.—The Collegiate Institute football team went to Seaforth, on Saturday, accompanied by a number of their friends, when an exciting game was played with the Collegiate team of that place for the Hough Cup. Sea - forth has always been strong on foot- ' ball, but our boys were in hopes they could get ahead of them, but in ,this they were unsuccessful, the score standing Seaforth 2, Clinton 1. APPOINTED.—A Vancouver telegram' says:—"Lieut. Col. Holmes, who was acting deputy adjutant -general of this district, before C. Battery was order- ' ed east, will be appointed warden of the provincial jail, in place of Mr R. F. John, who is to be pensioned. At present Col. Holmes is deputy adjut- ant at Winnipeg. Col. Holmes is the son of Mr Josiah Holmes, of St. Catha- rines, a veteran of the 19th Battalion, " who was in active service during the Fenian raid." [He is a cousin of R. Holmes, of town.} THE CEMETERY.—The action of the Council in appointing a permanent caretakers, is evidently a wise proce- dure, and Mr Reynolds, the caretaker, is doing his best to improve the appear- ance of the grounds. There is a great deal of work to be done, which will re- quire considerable time, and the co- operation of lot -holders, yet Mr Rey- nolds has already made marked im- provement. Parties are at liberty to Improve their own lots, subject to the approval of the caretaker, but we be- lieve they will find it more satisfactory all round to allow the caretaker to do the work, and pay- him the fees fixed by council for such work. - - NOT ALWAYS THE CABS.—A little circumstance occurred the other day showing that water will not always run down hill, 'unless the circumstances are favorable. Mr Joshua Hill, of the baseline, has put in•a hydraulic ram at the river, which forces the water up hill into a barrel, ,a flow -off pipe in the barrel runs down hill. In testing the apparatus the other day it worked like a charm,and satisfied that everything was all right, the barrel was headed up air tight. Shortly afterwards it was found the flow -off pipe was not work- ing, and it was some time before it was discovered that making the barrel *air -tight was the case of the trouble. HOUSE OF REFUGE.—Last week the County Council members of the House of Refuge ,Committee inspected the Woodstock arld Simcoe institutions of this nature. On Wednesday they went to Goderich to insect the sites offered for a House ofd Refuge, and also inspected the sites offered in this vicinity. They then held a meeting to consider the claims of the various sites offered, and after Cully considering them all, decided on recommending the 50 acres owned by Mr John Pickett, on the east side of the London Road, a mile below town. This site is. perhaps, no better than several others that were offered to the committee, but the faci- lities for drainage are much superior, while the price is also more reasonable. The location is decidedly advantageous, being in sight of both railroads, not far from a station, on a splendid road, and as pretty a place as could be selected. As the committee were empowered to prepare plans they have decided on having a survey and profile made of the place, showing the proposed loca- tion of the various buildings required, and will then advertise for plans and specifications, the architect whose plane are subsequently adopted, to re- ceive $100 therefor. The estimated ex- penditure for buildings is between $8,000 and $10,000, which are to ac- commodate 75 inmates, • The commit- tee will reportto the June meting of the County Colwell, and it is to be sin- cerely hoped that their report will be adopted and work proceeded with with- out delay.

The greater part of Black Cotton Hosiery sold in this country is made and dyed in Germany, all that is a fast and stain - les black is. In buying our Hosiery for this season's trade, we did as the wholesale houses do, bought direct from the manufac- turer, by so doing saving the wholesaler's profit. They came to us direct from Cemnitz,Saxony, the great centre of the German Hosiery trade, and we have no middle man's profit to pay, which enables us to quote closer pri- ces and give better goods for the same money than last year. Every pair is dyed by Louis' Hermsdorf, and we guarantee them fast and stainless. Here are a few Sample Prices: Ladies' full fashioned Fast Black Hose 12i cents Ladies' fine all wool Cashmere Hose, summer weight, regular 35 cent quality 25 cents Fine Cotton Hose, full fashioned, double heel and toe, extra value 25 cents Very fine Lisle Thread Hose 47 cents Children's fast Black Cotton Hose starting at 9 cents for small sizes.
