OANTELON BROS., Clinton, FATAL •,ACCIDENT. --A sad affair oc- curred at Stapleton Salt Works at about 11 o'clock, on Monday night. Michael Grealis, one of the employees, was engaged in wheeling salt into the store house, ,when by some means he fell backwards to the floor, a distance of twelve feet, and when found, a few minutes afterwards, was quite dead. It is supposed that after he had dumped his load, he took hold of the handles of the jigger, to„bring it back into posi- tion, when it struck him, or he lost his BINDER TWINE—To close out balance, and as he fell he hung on to stock will sell much below cost. the handle% carrying it with him; on Orders left at George Swallow's his skull was a scalp wound several will receive attention. inches long, as if made by the wheel, .

There was no salt on the floor where he fell, but less fount *quo, salt a foot away was a large pile that might have broken his fall if he could have turned himself to it. A doctor was instantly called, but his services were unnecessary, death seemingly being instantaneous. That a man should meet his death in this manner, after passing through all that he had, seems remarkable. He was an old army veteran, having served for over five years in the 4th, the 24th, and the Royal Canadian Rifles. He was a ser - day, will be observed as such here. A g�cant in the 24th under Sir Henry meetin of mechanics and all others Havelock, and took part in the storm- ing of Delhi, and only five minutes be- fore the accident he had been recount- ing some of the incidents of the Indian mutiny. He was a steady, industrious man, of more than ordinary intelli- gence, and had been a pensioner for 24 years. Recently ° he desired to com- mute the pension, and was offered $1,050, but wishing to obtain $1400, the matter fell through. He was a mem- ber of St. Paul's church, and leaves a widow and three children. Tsexxs.--Mr John Pickett desires to express his 4vatitude to all those who rendered assistance in putting out the fire in his fields, a few days ago, and especially to Mrs Thomas Shipley -and the section men. LAboR DAY.—September 1st having been appointed by -the Dominion Gov- ernment Labor Day, and a legal holi- interested in the observance of the day, will be held in the council cham- ber to -morrow (Saturday) evening, at 7.30, to see what arrangements can be made for enjoying the day. ACCIDENT.—Mr Jas. Stevens, of the base line, met with a painful accident on Thursday last. While riding one of the horses from the hack field, some- thing caused it to bolt, throwing him into a wire fence. One of his fingers was torn open by the barbs, and a gash torn in his leg, which necessitated the services of a doctor tc sew it up. TEMPLARS.—At the last election of officers, Friday, Art. 3rd, in the Good t Templars' lodge, for the coming term, if the following officers were elected :— C.T., Mr Rodgers; V.T., Miss Millar; , R.Sec., Mr J. W. Moore; F.Sec., Miss M. Goodwin; Chap., Mr Jas. Vous ; Marshall, Mr H. Israel; Guard, Miss S, Barge; Sentinel, Miss C. Cook. GREAT LOSS OF BLOOD.—The wife of Mr John Shobbrook, of the gravel road, has been in a delicate condition for several days, owing to profuse bleeding at the nose. It is supposed '''that an artery burst, followed by great log�s of blood, which for a time defied 'all efforts to check it, and she became very weak in consequence. We are glad to learn that she is now improving. - FIRE.—Early Monday morning the =�inhabitants of Cedar Grove Camp, on the lake shore, were aroused by the alarm of fire in one of the rooms be- longing to the villagers. By the per- istent effort and hard work of some of .e inhabitants, and a quantity of wa- ter from Lake Huron, the fire was got Under control without the aid of the engine.

The county rate to be paid this year is $948.20, being slightly. less than the amount paid last year.— The Reeve, as chairman of the Street committee, reported that nearly all the work passed had been completed, al- though several new walks were pro- posed; he recommended that no gravel- ling be done until September; the sum expended up to date being about $872. Some diecussior} t'iok place about the advisability o$.` putting down on the front street, giis,nolithic walks, and the reeve gave the council considerable in- formation he had gathered from differ- ent towns, concerning the cost and du- rability of such walks, but no furtheP action was taken in the matter, for the present. The finance committee recom- mended the payment of a number of accounts, and submitted the estimates for next year; these are in many cases the same as heretofore, but in a few changes are made. The Collegiate in- stitute board ask for $50 less than last year; the appropriation for the ceme- tery, fire and water department, and 'streets and sidewalks, is somewhat high- er, while the estimated receipts will be $100 lower, as there is one hotel less; if the Street committee were to grant all the requests for new walks it would re- quire about $1000 more than the estima- tes, but the committee only asks for $100 more; the total estimates call fora rate of 20 mills on the dollar. Mr.John McMurray reported an expenditure of $11.76 for rent and groceries for charity dnring the month, and a grant of $1 a week for four, weeks, was made .on be- half of"Mrs:Thorntan The-prepositien of the Electric Light Co., for renewal of contract, on five year's basis, was submitted; they offer 12 arc lights, 300 nights a year, at22c per light per night; 1 arc light in town hall, at 20c. per light when used, five incandescent lights at five cents. per night when used, and 3 lights in council chamber free. Some discussion followed, in which it was shown that prices elsewhere were both higher and lower than here; as present contract does not expire until Decem- ber, the matter was referred back to the committee. Some conversation on the Stavely matter ensued, but further action was left in the hands of the Mayor.

What is to pre- ' vent it being dredged out and dammed `up, so as to create sufficient water for the above purposes? The outlay would ' not; require to be large, and much plea - .sure could be derived therefrom. +°` WANT A CHANGE—The changes made tan the train service on the G.T.R. some weeks ago, whereby some of the trains ;,`became "way freights," have never `''been"taken kindly to by some of the . people up this way, and now that it is <• aindefood the old arrangement is he- • ing zi stored in• most places, an effort • ;"•shout be made to have an improve - anent on the line from Stratford up. ;Passengers do not relish having to wait abdtrt fifteen minutes at each station, ;while freight is being handled, and the `-.comppany should, if possible, go back Oto the former arrangements. t.:, CYCLE NOTES.—The' Sarnia bicycle gyp. club announce an attractive program for it,4th annual race meet on the 15th rinat.; this club has an excellent course, 14bnd Frank Mitchell, an old Clintonian, ills�____� • dtart' of the race committee. b Wh i ; omin g in from camp, on Sun - ay; 11.
