BUSINESS CHANGE,—Mr Allan Turn- bull, of Milverton, has bought out and takenossession of the livery business of Mr D. i3. Kennedy. He is a young man of good business ability, and will no doubt secure his share of this trade. FROG KILLING.—Town Clerk Coats and constable Wheatley are becoming experts in the capture of frogs, secur- ing 661 in three nights. Farmers, too, are beginning to appreciate the hind- quarters of these hitherto despised creatures, and are slaughtering them also. HOTEL CHANGES. -Mr Frank Mc- Donagh, of Carlow, has sold his hotel business to Mr W. Bogg. of Toronto; who has already taken possession. It 'was reported on Wednesday that the jovial and portly landlord of the Al- bion, Goderich, Mr Jonathan Miller, had also sold out. NEW WHEAT.—Mr H. Freeman, of Bullett, delivered, on Tuesday last, the first new wheat of the season, which weighed over the standard. Mr James Turner, of Brucefield, delivered at Ir - win's Elevator, on Wednesday, some of this year's wheat, that went 63 lbs. to the bushel, and yielded 38 bushels to the acre. GENIALRAIN.—As a rule the pru- dent farmer does not care to see rain come during the wheat harvest, but last week's downpour, and that of Tuesday, will do more good to the fruit, the roots and the pastures than it will do harti to the cut grain. The ground was very dry, and the rain came just right. DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.—Peter D. Bart, bridge carpenter, who was injur- ed by a fall from a bridge at Clinton 1 n May last, died at his home in Strat- ford, on Saturday night. Mr Bart was born in Dundas, and has been a resi- dent of Stratford for about twenty years. He leaves a wife and six child- ren, his parents and five sisters and one brother, all residing in' Stratford. BICYCLE RIIN.—The Bicycle Club will have their next social run on Fri- day, Aug. 3rd, to Kippen, leaving here t.5.30 sharp. A scorch will be indul- ed in frorri Brucefield to Kippen; those — .. ="- ing part m- it.will:remain' ,t -Bruen Id long enough to give the others me to reach their destination and see x ,e finish. Every person with a wheel is expected to be present. VETERINARY ASSOCIATION—A meet - i t • of the Huron Veterinary Associa- t n was held in the Council Chamber, tl derich, on Friday last. Among t• se present were Dr. Gibbs, of St. C rys, representing the Perth Veter- i ry Association, and Messrs Black- ,. Clinton; Wilson and Golley, of T ingham; Walker, Londesboro; Shil- 1 glaw, Mitchell; Medd, Dungannon, d Clark, Goderich. Various matters interest to the profession were dis- t sled. SPORTING NOTES.—The residents of e Elliott block and Coats -Searle t, ock had a tussle at base ball last '0 hursday evening, resulting in favor of t t e latter. On Saturday evening the married men and single men of the ) oherty Organ Factory played a game o f cricket; the score in one inning's s tood, married, 49; single, 27. TLe. unior lacrosse team played with Kin- cardine, on Saturday, and were defeat- ed 4 to 1. The base ball players who tackled the Goderich club, on Wednes- day week, were defeated. The mem- bers of the cricket club go to Strat- ford to -clay to play a game. THE ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.— The candidates who wrote at the re- cent entrance and leaving examination are waiting as patiently as possible to hear from the Department the result of their work. The board of examin- ers have completed their work, but are not permitted to publish the names of the successful candidates until their admission has been 'confirmed or re- jected by the central board at Toronto, altho ugh all the candidates have been notified by post card of the number of marks they have obtained. It will probably be a week or ten days yet be- fore any official information is given the public. UNFORTIINATE.—It was mentioned last week that Mr R. Snowden, or Stanley, had the misfortune to lose a fine hog, by it dying in his waggon while on the way to town. He had in addition a warm experience; while passing in the neighborhood of a swamp in Goderich township, one of the animals managed to jump out of the waggon box, and s.n hour's excit- ing chase was necessary before the animal was captured. Then after the pigs were. delivered to Mr Cantelon, and were being loaded in the car, one of the same lot died. The day was un- usually warm, and although care was exercised in bringing them in. it is pre- sumed that the weather was too much for them to stand. . WHO WANTS A BoT?—There is a strong, able-bodied boy of 12 years, of age, knocking about town in his en- deavor to make his own living, who would be of good service to some farm- er. The boy claims that his father is in jail for abusing his mother, while under the influence of drink, and he has to make his own Iiving. He does. not seem to be a bad boy, but has had' to go hungry several times lately be- cause of his inability to get food. He is not a boy able to do a man's work, but would be useful on a farm, and if there is any farmer who would like to take the boy and care for him, he can do so by applyingto Mr Joseph Wheat- ly, chief conetabie Clinton FALL Fant.—A good, energetic com- mittee iris been appointed to under- take the.preparatio,l of attractions for the fall fair, and we have no doubt but that they will provide some admirable special features. OLD WATCHES.—We , mentioned a week or so ago that Rev, Mr Newcombe had a wateh which he carried for 40 years. There is, evidently, bider watches than this in the country, Mr James Kaine having one that he has carried for about 45 years, while Mr George Carter, of town, has a faithful and reliable for 60 friend thatd thas bbe withoSuznr.iez Sale• him for 60 years, and looks to be good for 60 more. HORSE MATTERS.—Mr R. S. Young, of Detroit, bought five splendid horses here and shipped them on Friday last; he is evidently a good judge of horse- flesh. People here were surprised to learn of the sudden death last week of Mr B. Aubrey, of Montreal, one of the best known horse -buyers who visited this section; his death was caused by inflammation of the lungs, after four days illness. BUSINESS MATTERS.—The fall trade will be on shortly, and Clinton busi- ness men—always on the alert --are well prepared for it. There is no place where farmers can sell or buy to better advantage than they can here; our business men are courteous, obliging and painstaking, and will give the same attention to small purchases as to large. Farmers or others who do not deal with Clinton business men will find it to their advantage to do so. THE BAND CONCERT.—The Clinton town band, under the leadership of Jno.T.Shunk,playedon Thursday,26th; the following, was the program:— March Erminie Andt. and Waltz ... .Rolette March............ High School Cadets Sere - Armonia March ... . Rodman Rifles Waltz.......................After the Play Finale Until further notice the concerts will be given in the park, weather permit- ting. Otherwise they will be given from the band stand. APPRECIATED WORDS.—The Acton Free Press says:—"The Clinton NEW ERA celebrated its thirtieth birthday last week. The ERA is one of Ontario's most successful journals, and enjoys a provincial reputation. Under the con- trol of the present owner, Mayor Holmes, it wields a wide and salutary influence." The Brussels Post says:—"The Clin- ton NEW ERA is 29 years of age and is better than it ever was in its history. As a. gatherer of local and district news it sits in the front pew. Its editor finds time to occupy the Mayor's chair this year, in addition to his many other duties. We wish the NEW ERA in- creasingwealth." The LINTON NEW ERA has reached respectable middle age, but is as chirpy as ever. Editor Holmes also finds time to act as chief magistrate of his town in a most efficient manner.—Goderich Signal. NOTES.—Mr J. E. Holnes, late of St. John, N. B., has taken charge of the dental practice of Dr. Wilkinson, Lon- don; he is a son of Rev. J. W. Holmes, of Clinton. Mr Pete Hancock, one of the most jovial engineers on the G. T. R.- nd one who has run on the Gode- rich branch for a 1ong.Lme .has -.been' ticansfertred== =of'"ffie -Wiarton branch. Mr Russell Manning is at present as- sistant book-keeper at the Doherty Organ Factory. Miss L. Holmes, eld- est daughter of Rev. J. W. Holmes, has passed her final examination as a Kindergarten teacher. The Ripley Inquirer, speaking of a recent concert there, concerning a Clintonian says:— "Miss Nello McHardy is an accomplish- ed musician, a,perfect lady, and her efforts highly appreciated." To -day, Friday, July 27th, is Civic Holiday; it is one week earlier than last year. We regret to learn that Miss Lena Mason is again confined to her room. On Thursday of last week the ther- mometer registered over 100 ° in the shade. We are sorry to learn of the death of the infant child of Mr Harry Stanbury, which occurred in Detroit last week; Mrs Stanbury has also been seriously ill, but is better. The fami- lies of Messrs John Houston and F. Macpherson this week go into camp on the lake shore. The wife of Mr James Seale, who has been confined to her room for a couple of weeks, is now able to be about again. The Street Committee has built a gravel walk out towards Stapleton. Mr G. F. Emer- son contemplates a business trip to the old country in September. Mr Carling has sold the small house and lot on Cutter street, to the rear of the Queen's hotel, to Miss Cronyn, of Goderich township. Messrs Seale & Hover, of Clinton Marble Works, put up a fine granite monument in Londesboro cemetery, on Tuesday, for the wife of Mr J. C. Adams; they also put up cne in Westfield cemetery, Wednesday, to the memory of the lute Thos. Hoare. Mr Danford, of the G. T. R., had the misfortune the other day to fall off a fence and broke a small bone in one of his lens. The regular meeting of the Good' Uemplars is postponed, owing to the holiday, until Friday of next week. The appeal of the Bell Telephone Co., against its assessment, comes up for argument at Goderich, before Judge Toms, to -day; the Company claims that its assessment of $600 is excessive; it has49 telephone:, in use here, with the poles and wire necessary for the working of the lines. A report is cur- rent here, but it,lacks confirmation, to the effect that Mrs Autterson, whore- cently moved to Toronto, had died in that city. A good many purpose tak- ing advantage of the excursion to To- ronto this (Friday) afternoon, the ex- tension of the time to Tuesday even- ing is a decided advantage to the travelling public. Mr Geo. Rumball is making some extensive improvements to "the Wigwam," the residence of the Misses Monntcastle. Mr S. S. Cooper is this week completing a fine stable for Mr W. Doherty; it is as sung and comfortable as many houses. Mr John Ransforcl, who returned from Chicago this week, states that the vis- ihle evidences of the railroad strike, in f he shape of ?or wrecks and ruins, are something appalling; an attempt was made tocwreek the train immediately following his own. The girdler is at work on raspberry hushes,, and should he looked after. The St. Paul's church fiahhath sr•heol and that of Ontario St. had a fine day Sof, their,picnic to Gode- rich yesterday; river 300 tickets were sold.
