To BE LIGHTED.—Messrs Doherty & Co. purpose lighting their extensive Organ , factories throughout, with electric light, and have purchased an entire outfit for. ,this purpose. It will take about 85incandescent lights. AocIDENT.—On Monday morning, while Charles Cook, a young man em- ployed at Cooper's Planing Factory, was at work around a circular saw, a piece flew from a board and str uck him just below the left eye, making an ugly gash. He was taken to a doctor's office and the wound dressed; it is. thought that the sight of the eye will be destroyed. To BE REVIVED.—Messrs Smousher &Campbell, two . young printers of Toronto, have bought the plant of the defunct Hensel' Observer, and in the course of a week or so will revive that paper. We do not wish to dishearten the young men, but we are afraid they wily of necessity, find the profitable establishment of'a newspaper at Men- sal' extremely hard work. Wso Toox Taem.—The other day, when the members of the London base ball club were returning home, they took by mistake from one of the hotels a valise. belonging to Mr Colquhoun, tree agent. They discovered the error before the train had left the diamond crossing, and left the valise on the platform of the crossing house. When olquhoun received the valise a couple of razors and an order book were miss- ing, and he has no trace of them. STRAY BIILLETs. —The other day while Mr W, Weir and others were at work in his fields, they were startled by the whiz of flying bullets, and con- cluded that the same were from the rifle of some marksmen who were practising at the butts. One of the bullets passed through a room in Mr Weir's house and was lost in the sec- ond wall. If shooting is to be wild and dangerous as this, the targets will have to be removed to some less dan- gerous locality. A CHANGE.—R. D. Stanley, who for the past year has had the appoint- ment as general agent for the Domin- ion Life Assurance Co., of Waterloo, has severed his connection with that company, and has received the ap- pointment as special agent for West- ern Ontario for the Mutual Life As- surance Co. of New York. The Mu- tual is the oldest company in America and the largest in the world. We pre- dict for Mr Stanley a large and suc- cessful ' business. SPORTING NOTES.—Quite a crowd witnessed the base ball match, on the Recreation Park, last Thursday, be- tween the Clinton and London clubs, which resulted in favor of the visitors. A ball match, announced for be- tween Goderich and Clinton, to have been played here on Tuesday, was de- clared off, owing to the failure of Goderich to put in an appearance; it is expected that the match will come off next Thursday. Mr Joseph Copp has disposed of his trotter, Allan Wilkes, to a Mr Wells, of Harriston, receiving in return the pacer Nimrod and a con- sideration of $1,300 besides. SonooL MATTERS.—At a meeting of the Model School board, on Monday evening, Mr Hoover was appointed secretary pro tem, owing to the in- ability of Mr Hine to discharge the duties, owing to illness. The applica- tion of Mrs Ross, of Brocefield, for the 'position of teacher of No. 7 division, was accepted at the rate of $250 per year, for the balance of the year. The board has, 'we believe, made a good selection, and one that will prove advantageous to the school. During the holidays considerable improve- ments have been made about the school grounds, and when the school re -opens everything will be found in good order. SUDDEN DEATH.—Word was receiv- ed here last week of the death of Mr J. D. Brown, of Chicago, eldest son of the late James Brown, of the Huron road. The information was all the more startling from the fact that it was known by his relatives here that he was in the best of health. Mr Brown was the European buyer of white goods for the firm of Carson, Pirie & Scott, and was just completing arrangements for a trip to the foreign markets; he had gone up to his bath room, apparently in the best of health, and two minutes after his wife heard a noise that was unusual, and went up to find her husband dead. The doctors who were summoned declared that his death was due to heart failure. He was only 46 years of age, and his ability may be Judged from the fact that he he held the responsible position he did for a number of years, and was regard- ed by wholesale men as one of the best buyers in America. He leaves a wife and one child. HYMENAL.—The following, from the Guelph Mercury, was briefly referred to last week: A quiet family wedding took place on Monday at the residence of Rev. Wm. F. Clark, on Suffolk St. The parties to the marriage were Mr Clarlt's youngest daughter, Gertrude, and Mr Wm. Burks Bower, only son of our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr I. Bower. The wedding party was com- posed merely of the members of the two families to which the bride and bridegroom belong, Rev. B.S. and Mrs Williams, Miss Turnbull and Mr Lyle Clarke. After the wedding breakfast, at the Close of which Mr Williams toasted the bride in a felicitous little Speech, the heppy couple took the x10.30 train and departed for Bayfield, where they will spend the honeymoon. We are glad to learn that Mr and Mrs Bower will Continue to reside in Guelph,Mr Bower linking bought out the Wiloughby grobnslness, cora net of Dalin Mid 'Stiflolk streets. will bo "at hem ." tao their friends att. ecl to the tab:* LABOR DAY OELEBRATION,- -An ex- cellent program of amusements will be given here on Monday, September 3rd, on the Recreation Park,, It will em- brace a grand labor pprocession, headed by the band, to be followed by lacrosse, cricket and base ball matches, county and local championship bicycle races, and other eimilar amusements. MEDICAL.—There was a large repre- sentation of medical men ft om all parts of the county, at the special meeting of the Medical Association, held in the Council Chamber, on Wednesday, to select a candidate for the Ontario Medical Council. Di R. Bruce Smith was the former candidate, but owing to his receiving a government appoint- ment, a substitute was necessary. Dr Graham, of Brussels, was the unani- mous choice of the association. A resolution was presented to the retir- ing candidate, expressing the regret of the association at the severance of re- lations which have hitherto so pleas- antly existed between Dr. Smith and his fellow -practitioners in the Huron district,. The members present ex- pressed themselves as heartily in favor of maintaining the medical council, but strongly opposed to the scheme of bonusing a medical journal to support that body. A DEPLORABLE OCCURRENCE.—The heart of this community was painfully saddened on Saturday morning, by the announcement that the wife of John B. Kennedy had suddenly died during the night, and when all the particulars in connection with her death were learned, grief was intensi- fied at the fact of a life being prema- turely lost in so lamentable a manner. Some time during Friday afternoon she took a dose of Rough on Rats in- stead of a harmless remedy known as German powder, which she was in the habit of taking, both being upon the same shelf. It seems that the top of the Rough on Rats package, being dry,, had been scraped off and put in a paper, and was, therefore, similar to the powder. When it was discovered that a'quick poison had beentaken, a doctor was summoned who administer- ed strong emetics and removed, as he supposed, all the poison from her sys- tem. At a late hour in the evening, when he left her, she seemed to be none the worse for what had happen- ed, excepting that she was very weak from the effects of vomiting. The Ihmily retired, and at an early hour in the morning Mr Kennedy awoke and found his wife silent in death, she hav- ing evidently died without a struggle, and had been dead for some time, as the body was cold. Nothing could be done for her, and the doctor in tit- tendance gave it as his opinion that she died of heart failure, and the tension had apparently been more than her system could stand. She was a most amiable young woman, a daughter of Mr John For don, of Staple- ton, not yet 22 years of age, had been married about two years and leaves. one child to mourn a mother's love and care. She was a member of St. Paul's church, and no greater expres- sion of sympathy could be given than was manifested by the very large num- ber who attended her funeral Monday. NOTES. —Mrs Whitt has returned and will resume her classes in music as follows: Clinton, Saturday, Sept. 1st; Blyth, Sept. 5th. Mr 'John Johnston, who -has been in the West for some time, returned to town last week. The Other day Messrs Seare Tier re- ceived two blocks of granite, one of which weighed nearly twelve tons; this is the largest single stone ever re- ceived here, and it had to be broken before it was removed from the cars. Mr W. T. Whiteley is making an addi- tion to his residence. Mr Layton, of town, holds a position, so far as the lack of relatives is concerned, that is unique; he has living neither fattier nor mo- ther, sister nor brother, son nor daugh- ter; it is not often that a person is so practically alone in the world. The two Seaforth sports who boasted last week of having caught 99 trout in five hours, were evidently unawar e of the fact that they were law breakers to the extent of 27 fish exactly. Mrs Ross, of Brucefield, has rented one of Mr John Gibbings' houses, Ontario street, and takes possession immediately. Master Fred Davis, Hartney, son of Mr S. Davis, is suffering from an attack of quinsey. For being drunk and disor- derly on the streets the other night, a young fellow was up before the Mayor, and contributed $5 to the town ex- chequer; many people have the idea that every person diunk on the streets is liable to be arrested, but this is not so; a person cannot be arrested unless they become abusive or disorderly. Several of those Clintonians who have been camping for some weeks on the lake shore, have returned to town; the rest will not remain much longer. Mr Ogle Cooper has rented a store in the Brick Block, and will open out with a stock of groceries. Mr Watson, of Wingham, was in town this week to rent a house, in order that his daugh- ter could more conveniently attend the Collegiate here. Mr S. J. Andrews is erecting a building on Queen street, wherein to run a cider press. Mr Geo. Theohald, of town, has been engaged to teach at Mount Forest. A train was running on this branch of the G. T.R. on Sunday, as men were at work on a bridge east of here. Two infor- mations laid before the Mayor last week, charging certain parties with disorderly conduct, were withdrawn, the complainant paying all costs. Mr Geo. F. Emerson has disposed of nearly one hundred bicycles this year. To- day Messrs Seale & Hoover take out two fine monuments—one for the late late W. Spindler, to Londesboro ceme- tery; the other for the late W. Dunlop, to Burns' cemetery. Taylor Bros., of Minnedosa, Man., (son of Mr W. Tay- lor)are now extensively into the cattle business, and bring down ten car loads to Montreal next week. , Regular sit- ting of the Division Court next Thurs- day. The last number of the Canadian Magazine contains a well-written arti- cle on Socialism, by Mr J. A. Cooper, B.A., son of Mr W. Cooper, Clinton. The Collegiate Institute and Public school re -opens on Monday next; both have an excellent staff of teachers.— Some farmers estimate that grasshop- pers have injured the oat crop to the extent of ten bushels to the acre. Soft water is getting to be a very scarce ar- ticle in town, and families experience considerable inconvenience thereby.— The drouth is going to seriously, affect the potato crop. We understand that Mr Isaac Rattenbury has:bought the property immediately south of the Rat- tenbury House, on Victoria St. Dr. Gunn is having a stone foundation put under his house.
