ACCIDENT. • — The other evening, while playing baseball, and during a scuffle at first base, Mr Phil Crews fell ox his right hand, dislocating the thumb and wrist joint. It will take some time to regain its normal con- dition. NEW BOILER.—Messrs Doan & Son, of the Clinton Tannery, are having a new boiler put in and a new smoke stack erected, the old ones, after long service, being found defective. The work is being done by the well-known boiler makers, Messrs Crystal & Black, of Goderich. A MERITORIOUS CONTRIBUTION.— Miss Clara H. Mountcastle has an im- itation ofLongfellow's "Hiawatha" en- titled Coralinda—A Summer Idyl—in the July number of the Canadian Magazine. This magazine, by the way, is published by the Ontario Pub- lishing Co., Toronto, the president of which is Hon. J. C. Patterson, Minis- ter of Militia, our M. P. representative for West Huron. Single copies can be had at Cooper's Book Store. t1VeRRow ESCAPE.—A few days since the wife of Mr Adam Foster and baby had a narrow escape from serious in- jury. Mrs Foster was crossing the arrack on. Victoria street with the baby in a carriage. A box car stood close to the crossing, and MrsFoster did not observe that an engine was attached to it, for just as she got behind the car the engine backed, knocking over the carriage. Quick as possible Mrs Fost, er snatched the baby out of death's "4..jaws, while the car destroyed Che uggey. • NEW TEACHERS.—The Coll satiate In- etitute Board of Trustees h e engaged Mr E. A. Coombs, of ngetown, as Classical Master, at a ' glary of $750 a year; and Miss McC-,tcheon, of Toron- . � PeWif,Wircia?..' specialist, at a sal- ry of $600 a year. Both come very highly recommended indeed, and they will doubtless aid in maintaining the excellence and efficiency of Clinton Collegiate. Mr Rand has also accepted re-engagement. It is a - coincidence that Mr Coombs was engaged by the board, just before the engagement of Mr McKee, but was unable at the time to enter on the duties. PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD.—The regular meeting of the board -was held on Monday. The estimates for the cur- rent year were submitted and approv- ed; they are the same as last year, and call for a municipal grant of $3100. • i�ir Lough reported an attendance of 380 during the month of June. In- spector Robb, in the course of his re- port, says:—"I cannot close this report without complimenting the Board on the neatness of everything around the school, and the teachers on the care taken of the school property, and of the neatness'of the rooms and the cleanliness of the floors." Miss Leslie, who has fihished her term at the Nor- mal, applied for a position, and was engaged for the balance of the current year, at the same salary she received formerly, $250 per annum. The secre- tary was instructed to advertise for a teacher for the model term. The Pro- perty Committee were instructed to purchase a few new seats. The ac- count of W. Cooper, $12 insurance, was ordered to be paid, and also that of J. Croll, plastering, $3. The account of the Berlin Supply Co., x$22.50, for blackboard slating, was left over. •Tr' visited by a couple of severe fires lately, the last one occurring early Saturday morning, whereby Mr, Jacob dilier s workshop was destroyed, toether with several other buildings. Mr. Swarts had got up quite early, and was watch- ing his horse on the roadside, when he noticed smoke rolling up from the rear of Miller's blacksmith shop. Instantly giving the alarm, efforts were made to remove•what could be got out, but the building being frame, was so quickly in flames that very little could be saved, and attention was turned -to the -adjac- ent properties. The fire got into the rear of Cook's feed stor e, and also Can- telon Bros' store, and was soon sub- dued, but not before goods were re- moved, much to their injury. The rear of Beckwith's bakery, and Cook's photo gallery, were also much damaged by the fire. A couple of stables to the rear of Miller's—owned by Cantelon Bros. and D. Cantelon, as were also t' couple of storehouses owned by Mr. Swarts.— Cantelon Bros. lost a couple of sets of harness, robes, waggon. etc; a fine dog owned by Master Ed. Cantelon, and chained in one of the stables,was burn- ed alive. A stable owned by Mr. Sohn Johnston was also slight] injured - We cid not ask you to take our word as to the values offered at this, our Annual Summer Sale. Look around and see if you find their equals anywhere.. We sell a$ low as we can all the time, regardless of what others are doing. Cash selling makes our every -day values unusually better than "special inducements" offered elsewhere. Just now they are considerable out of the ordinary, in fact extraordinary. Every dollars worth, of Summer goods we have, must be sold before the season ends; p •ce is a secondary consideration now; it is the room we ant, for fall goods will soon be here. Getting the ready ey for every dollars' worth we sell, en- ables us to quote prices for the balance of our Summer Stock that we would not, could not dare quote if we charged the goods for six or eight months.

Tour thousand. His books were also lost, which aggravates the misfortune. For- tunately, he has a 11 w building well under way, on the Bite of the old Can- telon waggon shopp, and will be able to resume work i i;etty soon. Some of his machiner , ,trlough much damaged, he will be a .re- to repair. It would be a though, ul and appreciated act if those indehead to him would . come forward atrJ.,ce and wipe out their obligations, 4.'hus enabling him the better to get his• business in running order again. Mr. Jerome Andrews also looses about $50 worth of tools that were in the shop.— The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr Miller has the street watering contract, and hie tank being destroyed, he very promptly made arrangements with Mr Fair for a supply of water, so that in the meantime the townspeople should suffer no inconvenience. HEAT AND DRINK.—On Tuesday, as the afternoon train was on its way from Goderich, a pull at the bell cord caused the engineer to bring the train to a standstill. A brakeman ran back over the cars, to discover the cause of the signal, and found a young man on a car of lumber, with the bell rope in his hand, but evidently in a fit, and uncon- scious. He was carried into the bag - Cage car, and on arrival of the train at linton, was brought to the Council Chamber on a dray. He seemed to be more dead than alive, was evidently suffering great pain, and was frothing at the mouth. The presence of liquor was not noticeable on him, and it was deemed best to call in a physician, who applied restoratives; parties labor- ed with . him nearly all afternoon be- fore he manifested any signs of con- sciousness. When able to talk he ad- mitted that he had been on a spree, and it was thought that the heat had also affected him. He claimed to have been put on the car of lumber, and gave his name as William Wallace, of Stratford. He occupied a bed in the cooler during the night, and went east next morning. BICYCLE CLUB RUN.—The most pleasant and aggreable run of the sea- son was made to Bayfield on Tuesday evening last; at 6 o'clock about 15 mem- bers lined up in, front of Emerson's Bicycle store, and in a few minutes a start was made, but not before Mr Brewer got a shot at them with his kodac. The destination was reached in about an hour without a mishap, al- though several dismounts were made on account of frightened drivers and horses. A halt was called at the River hotel, where a sumptuous and hetlirtily relished supper was partaken of. An hour was spent in boating, when all re- turned home, well) pleased with their outing. Miss McHardy was the only lady to finish the trip and some ofithe loungers on the bank said she was the least fatigued looking of the lot; Char- lie Young said he had never been beat- en yet and he wouldn't—then he took more ditches than all the others; Wal- ter Irwin made a 'capital mascot, and the boys were sorry when he turned back; Ike as a bugler, was out of eight, so was his wind. The man with an TIncle on the road was a ggcod man to alba • so wav the ncle's milk, NOTES.—The first new potatoes of the season were presented to us by Mr Charley Calton. of the 16th con., Gode- rich township. The Atwood Bee re- marks that:—"The Clinton NEW ERA has entered upon its 30th year of publi- cation; the ERA has got its wisdom teeth, judging by its readable appear- ance, and it is among our very best ex- changed." Mr Remington, of the Mol - son's Bank, has been transferred to Alymer; his place is filled by Mr Barnhardt, of Owen Sound. Mr R. D. Bayley, of Battle Creek, "formerly of Clinton, is looking after the photo business of Mr E. Poole, of St. Catha- rines; it is said that Mr Bayley will visit Clinton before his return to the west, and deliver an address on Spirit- ualism. Jackson Bros. recently filled an order for 53 white vests and silk hats for Kinlough Orange Lodge; last year they fitted out Lucknow Lodge in similar style, and this year Lucknow added fifteen more to their previous order. Mr T. Lavan, who has been off work for some time owing to the ac- cident which recently befel him, is again in his place at the Foundry. Messrs T. Smallacombe and Rev. J. H. Fairlie represent Clinton Masonic Lodge at the Grand Lodge meeting now in session at Hamilton. Messrs Cooper & Co. have been awarded the contract of supplying the Public School with window 'blinds. Mr J. P. Tisdall now has his house lighted throughout with electricity. The Park Com- mittee are considering a proposition for the erection of a grand stand; such althing is very much needed, and would prove a great comfort to many. A magic lantern entertainment will be give this (Friday) evening, in connection with the meeting of Good Templars. Can- telon Bros. are shipping hundreds of baskets of fruit daily; the scene at the early morning trains is a busy one, as a great many baskets are also trans- ferred. Mr D. Cantelon states that the apple crop prospects are much better in southern counties than • they are here; in fact he does not consider that there will be more than a quarter crop here, excepting in early apples. In the Lacrosse match last Friday, between the Dauntless club and the Beavers, of Seaforth, the latter were victorious. The families of Messrs. W. H. Beesley and G. Swallow go into camp on the lake shore, beyond Porter's Hill,to-day. Dr. T. Agnew, brother of R. Agnew, of town, who recently finished his exami- nation, has decided on locating at Thed- ford. A couple of weeks ago Mr. John Tiplady, of the base line, got his leg sprained by a cow; it has since been vary painful, so much so that it is diffi- cult for him to move about. The mem- bers of the Cricket Club played a game with London City Club on Saturday, and were defeated. An interesting game of base ball was that played last Thursday evening, between the Victo- ria block and the Coats -Searle block; the game developed considerable sport for the onlookers, and resulted in favor of the Coats -Searle players. About 600 tickets were sold to Goderich, on Wed- nesday, for the S.S. picnics. We are pleased to see that Mr. John Rumball is again able to be around, looking very little the worse for his protracted suf- fering. The Stratford Herald says:— "An aged lady on the Toronto train on Saturday night, bound for Clinton,was carried past Stratford; she is slightly deaf, and did not hear the name of the station called; she got back to Strat- by the Sarnia mixed at 0 o'clock, and was a guest of the Commercial hotel over Sunday,going to Clinton Monday.' The youngest child of Mr Levi Wiltse, of the London Road, died yesterday, of diphtheria. IThe Searle block chal- lenge any club in town to play a game of base ball. Yesterday, while Mr. R. Snowden, of the Sauble line, Stanley, was bringing a load of hogs to town, the finest one he had died in the wag- gon, about half a mile from the town.
