sanded. he coal strike on the other
side is not ended, but arrangments
have apparently been made for a suf-
• ficient supply.
HAIL AND SNow.-There ?list's quite a
fall of hail on Sunday, but no harm
was, ,done. Monday morning .there
was a flurry of snow, and it was quite
cold, with frost at night. The extent
of the damage done is unknown, but it is
feared that the fruit crop has been
seriously injured, This will be quite a
loss, as the promise of a cropwas great.
RAILWAY CHANGES. The Grand
Trunk has made several important
changes in the running of trains on
the Goderich branch, as the following
time -table will indicate: -
Going East Going West

going west, each train has a wait of
some minutes here.
GOING} TO OLINTON.-Mr George Fin-
ley has taken the management of the
Grand Union hotel in Clinton and is
moving his family from town this
week. Mr Finley will be assisted in
the management of the hotel by Mr
W. Brown, and in both gentleman the
people of Clinton will find courteous
and obliging caterers to the public
needs. They have had long experience
i hotel mangement, and the Grand
Mon should be a success in their
ands. -Mitchell Recorder.
SPORTING MATTERS.-The;junoir la-
crosse boys were beaten at Exeter, on

Exeter races, on the 24th, Lord Ten-
nyson, owned by Lack Kennedy, took
first money; the time of `the race was
2.3399}} In the football contest at Sea -

badly used up. The 100 yard foot race
at Seaforth, on the 24th, was won by

at Seaforth, Will Moffat, of town, took
the first place.

Houston, eldest daughter of Mr John
Houston, Principal of the Collegiate,
which sad event occurred on Friday
evening last from congestion of the
brain. She was a promisingirl of 15
years,. and has been ailing for some
time, but there was not the slightest
anticipation of her death, until the day
before it occurred. Herarents have
the sincere sympathy ofd their many
friends here, a sympathy that was
practically shown on Monday, by the
large attendance at the funeral, the
Collegiate pupils marching in a body,
and the members of both the Collegiate
and Public school boards also attend-
ing. The floral tributes contributed
were numerous and very pretty.

R� 6t'AVIIIL1at ESTATE. - With reference to
the memorial of the Municipal Council of the
Town of Clinton, I am directedto say that the
AttorneyGteneral approves of the suggestion
that part of the Staveley estate should be ap-
plied in or towards the establishment, in or near
Clinton, of some institution of a charitable
character, thedetails tobe considered hereafter
Yours truly, J. A. CARTWRIGHT, deputy.
It is probable that a large portion of
the estate will go towards the erection
of some charitable institution, asmay
be decided upon hereafter. This will
be a Provincial institution, and in no
way connected, as some might suppose,
with the proposed House of Refuge.-
That the government has done what is
but right and just in the matter, will be
admitted by all who are familiar with
the circumstances, and that Mr.Garrow
is at least entitled to the thanks of the
people of Clinton, for his efforts in their
behalf, will also be conceded.
ACCIDENT. -A bad accident happen-
ed. to Mr P. Bart, one of the workmen
engaged on the railroad bridge, east of
Stapleton, on Wednesday of last week.
He fell from the top to the ground be-
low, a distance of 35 feet, alighting on
his back, and thus paralyzing himself;
he was brought to Pike's hotel and
medical assistance summoned, where
he remains at present in a low condi-
tion. His home is at Stratford; and
his wife has been with him ever since
the accident occurrred.
MASONIC. -On Monday evening last
the new Masonic temple at Stratford,
was dedicated for Masonic purposes by
the R. W. Grand Master, of Canada, the
Hon. J. M. Gibson, Prov. Secy., assist-
ed by the officers of Grand Lodge.
The Stratford brethren have the most
beautifully furnished as well as the
best equipped Lodge room in Canada.
The Tecumseh and Stratford lodges
sent invitationsto all the W,,. -M. of the
District, and they were near all there,
and were pleased with their reception
as well as benefited by their visit.
After the dedication over 300 attended
the banquet, which was all that could
be desired. Clinton was represented
by W. Bro. Rev. J. H. Fairlie, and the
W. M. of Clinton Lodge No. 84, Mr. T.
Smaliacombe.
NOTES. -Messrs Wilson & Howe last
week supplied a wedding cake for a
Toronto wedding. Mr F. J. Milne, V.
S., who left a couple of weeks ago for

Exeter or Zurich. The Doherty Organ
Factory, extensive as it is, was enlarg-

additional machinery. I r John Mil-

position of herdsman for Mr Jarhes

Exeter, is the guest of Mrs Hoover,
Mr W. Pearson, of town, has been
quite ill for some days lately. Mr H.

Syd. C. Croll, who has been visiting
his sister, Mrs J. W. Green, of Mild -
know11 resident of Clinton, died in To-
ronto on Monday night of last week.
From reports published, it appears
that he took a bed at the O'Neil house,
in that city, on Monday night, and not
getting up on Tuesday morning his
room was entered and he was found
dead in bed. A•coroner was called in,
who stated that death was caused by
heart disease, and it was not necessary
to hold an inquest. Mr McCutcheon
was a widower, his wife dying there
some years ago. He leaves a family of
three sone and three or four daughters,
mostly all grown up. The deceased

Wingham onWednesday and placed be-
side those of his wife, in the Wingham
cemetery. He made considerable mo-
ney at Winnipeg during the boom,'
but subsequently lost it all at Toronto.

WE ARE SORRY
That the,line of Cotton advertised last week at 5c has not arriv-

been delayed, but through no fault of ours. We fully
expected it in time for last Saturday's trade, and a1 -
though the line at 4c. (former value 6c) and the line at
61c. (former value W) came in time, through some
misunderstanding it was not shipped with them. How-
ever, we expect it in a few days now.
