ANONYMOUS LETTERS. — Reference was last week made to the receipt of an anonymous letter by the Chief of Police, threatening the destruction of a house in town, unless the inmates moved out. The family in question may not be all they should, but such a method of getting rid of them is neith- 'er,prudent or legal, and the party who had a hand in Writing the letter—and he is known --did a rather imprudent thing in writing the letter. RUNAWAY. — On . Monday as Mr' David Cook was driving along the street, one of the tugs broke, causing the horse to run away. He was thrown out, but escaped unhurt; the horse ran wildly down street and was making an air line for Plumsteel & Clibbiag's store, when fortunately the waggon caught a telegraph pole, and P, yAxtted -it going any further. A rrel of sugar was thrown out of the waggon and smashed, but very little other damage was done. SUDDEN DEATH—A telegram was re- ceivedWednesday evening,stating that Mr W.Cole, of Chattanogga, Tenn., was dangerously ill with typhoidfever. and relatives were arranging to go down yesterday, when a telegram was re- ceived at about ten o'clock the same day, announcing Mr. Cole's death. He was a native of Clinton, and for a long time connected with the Salt Associa- tion staff. He was an amiable young man, and had only been in Tennessee for a little over a year, during which time' he had gained the confidence and esteem of all he came in contact with. IT WAS IMAGINATION.—In view of the remarks made in the County Council by the Reeve of Clinton on the Equalization question, we would suggest that that settlement be here- after dubbed "The Hemlock City." The Reeve said that, in comparison with Seaforth, it was "an old hemlock city," and he ought to know. County papers please take note.—Seaforth Expositor. [The reeve of Clinton was endeavoring to secure a reduction in the equalized assessment, and no doubt allowed his fertile imagination a little loose rein in his comparisons.] AT THE P `� e town ban{l,..nzo- le u rship of Mr ohn T. Shunk, layed the following program at Re- creation Park, on Thursday evening, the 21st inst.; the lacrosse, base ball and bicycle clubs being there, an en- joyable time was spent free of charge : amok Steps....

Smyth; they left at once for Goderich, from which place they proceed to Chicago. KINDLY WORDS.—The Acton Free Press of last week says:—In returning from the Conference at Goderich last week the editor of the Free Press stop- ped over a few hours at Clinton and enjoyed the hospitality' of Mayor Holmes, of the Naw ERA, and his family. Clinton is a town of much beauty; is favored with several impor- tant manufacturing industries—pro- minent among which is the Doherty Organ Works—and has more business vim and enterprise among its mer- cantile establishments than is gener- ally manifest in towns of its propor- tions. The town has fine streets, thousands of beautiful shade trees, a commodious park, good Public School, and Collegiate Institute, and numer- ous churches. Mayor Holmes is con- stantly on the alert to advance the in- terests of his town and it cannot be said of him that he is an occupant of e position of chief magistrate with he object alone of enjoying the digni- Mid'honor of the office.

Pure Silk Lace Mitts, Blacks, Creams and Colors, all sizes 25c Clarke Wallace, Comptroller of Cus- toms, and Dr Nesbitt, of Toronto, held a meeting in the town hall, Clinton, on Wednesday night, ostensibly in the interest of Mr Weismiller, who was not present. The bulk of the audience were electors in the West Riding, and there are not a few who think that the ,objectofthe meeting was really to in- fluence this class, because there could be no other object in holding a meet- ing in Mr Weismiller's interest, out- side of his riding. In point of fact Mr Wallace advised the electors to vote for Mr Connolly. There was a good at- tendance. The chair was occupied by Mr Todd. Speeches were made by Dr. Nesbit and Clark Wallace, their remarks be- ing a general condemnation of the Mowat administration and prediction of victory on the 26th. The Liberals had no speaker present, but Mr Searle pluckily took the platform in their behalf, and made several good points. The band played in front of the Rat- tenhury House, where they were quartered, and also preceeded their carriage to the town hall. This is what the Toronto Star of Wednesday had to say:—"Clarke Wal - lace's place is at Ottawa, where he should be earning the salary he draws from the federal treasury. He has no right in this provincial campaign, first, because he is practically a 11 ominion rxtinister, and secondly because federal (legislators should keep out of provin- cial .politics."„ 25c 20c 25c Estate J Hodgons CLINTON ummer Shirts!
