A few days ago a horse lost its life; this was followed by the accidental death of Martin Graelis, and on Friday Mr Thomas Carter met with an accident serious enough in its nature. While walking out over the sawmill tramway, he slipped off the side, and fell at the only spot there was with a stake stick- ing up; on this he fell, striking his breast, and tearing the muscles quite severely. While playing around the yard the other evening, in his bare feet, the youngest son of Mr. Thos. Johnston stepped on a broken bottle, inflicting a cut in bis foot about seven inches long and severing an artery; the wound ne- cessitated a doctor's assistance. The other day, while Mr. Mitchell, driver for McMurchie & Co., was pro- ceeding along the London road with a couple of fanning mills, the horses got frightened, and before he could control them he was thrown from the rig, and sustained a sprained ankle; the mills were smashed to pieces. AN IMPORTANT MOVE.—We under- stand that Mrs Anna Ross, of Bruce - field, has decided to make Clinton her future home, she having engaged as an assistant teacher of Blyth Public school. She comes to Clinton espe- cially because of it central location, and the advantages which it offers for the education of her famiiy. Her removal from Brucefield calls for more than a passing notice. Former iyemployed as a teacher in Hamilton Ladies College, she gave up that position in order to assume a more important one, and be- came the wife of the late Rev. John Ross, so well known as pastor of one of the Brucefield Presbyterian churches; here she has resided for about 23 years, and none of the duties which usually fall to the lot of a minister's wife were overlooked by her; rather, she soon be- came noted fcr her zeal and fidelity, and won a place in the hearts and con- fidence of the people which she has ever retained; even after the death of Mr Ross, she has remained faithful in church work, and her removal will sever tieslthat have been closely drawn, and hr'eak associations of thud most pleasant nature. She wrote/ at the recent examinations and pp,$'sed, ,for- getting that she had a certificate which was good for life. A lady of stirling qulinties,.strong religious, convictions, unflinching faith and pi diose, and of great ability, she is no simply a per- sonal acquisition to a •own, but the school securing her sery ces is assured of good work by one t oroughly and efficiently trained the for:. extend our congratulations. Ir. A. Graham, of London, was in town last week and interviewed the Mayor and others in reference to the conctruction of granite sidewalks; that such would be an improvement is admitted without question, the only difficulty in the way being the additional cost over lumber, at the outset; even with this contin- gency we are not sure but that it would pay the town to invest in a limited amount of granite walk. Messrs.Seale -and Hoover put up a nice rustic mouu- ment in Brucefield cemetery, on Wed- nesday, for the late Wm. Cooper. Mr Courtice, of Goderich township, drives a new top buggy, the product of Rum- ball'Sgarriaa shop.

Sayeth in her heart that there is no such thing as a bargain, and all such advertised are but a snare and a delusion to the feet of the unwary. The Wise Woman Knoweth bettor ! • She discerneth the SHEEP from the GOATS, and understandeth that not all advertisements are fakes.

Estate Our Collegiate Institute. The success of Miss H. Rumball at the University of Toronto as an Honor martriculant, taking first-class honors in English and second-class honors in French, adds one more to the list of suc- cessful students of our Collegiate In- stitute for the past school year. The record of steady progress in attendance and efficient work ought to he very gratifying those citizens who desire to see the school develope into a distin- guished seat of learning. The follow- ing comparative statement will show, at a glance, the marked progress which the school is making: - 1892 1893 1894 Primary Examination 6 24 16 Junior Leaving 6 6 13 Senior Leaving 0 1 3 Partial Matriculation . • . •0 2 1 Complete " (pass) 0 1 0 (honor1 0 3 Senior " Total 14 34 36 It will be seen that although the number who passed the primary this year as compared with last is small, the deficiency there is more than made up in the higher classes of junior and senior leaving and matriculation.. With the following excellent stain of five specialists, we may expect a good attendance for the coming year and a breaking of the record when the test- ing time comes round again.
