SIR OL►VeR, MRCS FORTlt) TO VAN UISf YE VVVSOME DRAGON} ,/ About 500 men in Stratford are affected by the closing down of the G. T.R. locomo- tive works there, owing to the shortage of the coal supply. The Supreme Court of Iowa has decided that every dollar pt 'd for Boor that is sold contrary to law may be recovered from the person or firm to whom it is'paid; that tinder the law the money is received with that express understanding. Senator Drummond • has written Hon. W. Laurier, asking him to withdraw the statement made at the Pembroke meeting, that he (Drummond) gets a salary of $60,- 000 a yet. as manager of Redpath's suear ,refinery. Mr Laurier replied that the .statement had been made, repeated and commented upon by the press for three years, and he had never seen it denied or • ohallenf,ed. What is the catch? Is Drum- mond's salary only $59,000? In any case, he should not'have a place in either House of Parliament, to vote other people's money into his own pocket. On Thursday morning Mr R. T. Thomp- , son, of Petrolea, a stonemason and brick- L.yer, who was engaged in erecting a stone foundation for a new barn on Mr John Mar - ,tin's farm, near Glenrae was instantly killed by lightning. It appears that Mr Thompson and his brother, J. J. Thompson, and another man saw the storm coming up while et work, and ran to a barn for safety. They were in the building about ten or fif- teen minutes, when the corner of the barn was torn off by lightning, knocking the other two gentler n senseless and killing Mr R. T. Thompson instantly. He was at one time captain of the Salvation Army there, and is well known in many places. He leaves a young vi ife and two small chil- dren. He was killed standing with his ,arms around a post, in which attitude he was found dead. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE REEVE (Intended for last week.) MR. ALEStNDER McMtmCHIE,— DEAR SIR,—At the last council meeting,in your -remarks to one of yonr fellow council- lors, I am credibly informed„ you were courteous enough to refer to me as "Old Searle," though I was not pre- sent. I do not deserve the remark from you in the sense in which it was evidently used. It is no disgrace to be old, especially when a man combines sense with age, and is old enough to know when to keep quiet. During nearly 40 years' residence as a citi- zen of Clinton I have done nothing to dis- grace myself or family. I have done my part to build up the town, by adding stores and dwellings, and now pay $200 a year in taxes. It may be because I differ from you in municipal matters that you show your ill -will. I hold that it is the duty of the Street Committee to repair, as soon as can be done, all old sidewalks, and leave new ones until the last. As chairman of the Street Committee you cover up ditches for some no. sons, and allow others to make trap doo_d in the sidewalk, with hinges sticking up for persons to strike their toes against; you name to my building on the corner of Rattenbury and Albert streets, and because the street drain was rotten, took gravel which was put there at my ex- pense, and used it for the town, a thing you would not dare to do just across the same street. I have always found yon to attend to the duties of your office, but some of your fellow citizens have retired from die council sooner than stand the attacks made on them. I have obeyed the by-laws of the town, and done the best I can for it, but I think you had no occasion whatever to sneer at persons who, if not qutie as big as yourself, may possibly be as good. Yours truly, W. C. &Ants. IRON BLOOD PILLS Don't confuse these with the common Iron Pills. They area direct food for the blood.

W"IEWIAN CLINTON Cleveland had the moat severe hailstorm ever known in the city last Friday evening. Great damage was done to skylights and shrubbe.y. The storm was very severe as far sdu..i as Crestline. A special from Washin, on gif s a sad reason for the non-appearance of Mrs Cleveland in society this season. It states that little Ruth Cleveland is al lost deaf and dumb. It is understood tbnt every-, thing possible is being done for the child and that Mrs Cleveland spends hours in trying to teach it to articulate. The little one's mind is said, ;n some quarters, to be backward, but that is believed not to be the case. 1.. .c 0, ; y.i5•yr)011/4 l,Rti�Y,l?f"K 'DON'T Find fault with the cook if the pastry does not exactly suit you.

The Montreal Trade Bulletin of May 18 says: "Copious rains, followed by fine weather, have brought on splendid pastures in England, and consequently live stock have been less dependent upon hay, which, in the natural order of things, has depre- ci,.,ted in price until good Canadian hay has n sold in London at 70s per ton, while poorer qualities have sold down at 60a and 65s. Sales of No. 2 Canadian have been made at 02s 6d, c.i.f., Liverpool. I am informed by a Boston firm that a consider- able quantity of damaged hay has been going forward to the English market of late, and this, it is presumed, has helped to de- moralize the market there. The big break in the ocean freight market, however, seems to have come opportunely to the aid of ship pers of hay, engagements having been made at 20s to 22s 6d to London and 15s to Liverpool and Bristol, wl.ioh is reduc- tion of 20s to 22s per ton on former con- tracts.
