The duties of Secretary to the Public School Board will, we understand, be per- formed by Mr Cuninghame. MEDICALASSOCIATION.—The regular quarterly meeting of the Huron Medi- cal Association, was held in the Town Hall, here, on the 9th inst. This was an exceptionally interesting meeting, when some valuable papers were pre- sented by the members, especially those of Dr. Graham, of $russels, and Dr. Kennedy, of Wingham. As Huron boasts of the best physicians and sur- geons of the western peninsula, the meetings held by the association are of great value to the profession. Dr,Gra- ham, of Brussels, the nominee of this association for the Ontario Medical Council. for No. 4 District, has been elected without opposition. THE MUSICAL TREAT OF THE SEASON. —On Thursday, Oct. 18th, Ruthven Macdonald, the great baritone, will appear in the town hall, assisted by several members of the local choirs, and present such a program as the people of Clinton have not heard for some time. Among the best of Mr Macdonald's readings must be reckon- ed "Barbara Fritchie," "Bibbity Bob," "Judith" and "King David's lament." This is what the Press says—"The audience was entertained, and at the conclusion of one of.his songs the sil- ence could be felt. The people scarce- ly breathed, so deeply were they af- fected by the magnificent rendering. The "Ship on fire" places him in the foremost rank of Canadian singers. Plan of hall at Rumball'sjewellery store. STOCK NOTES.—Mr Wm. Lockhart, Seaforth, has purchased from W. J. Biggins, of Elmhurst Farm, the ten month old calf "Master Nonpareil."

The many friends of Mr and Mrs Fin- ley here will be pleased to know that they are doing well in Clinton." "One of the most popular and prosperous citizens of the town of Clinton is Mr D. A. Forrester, at one time a resident here. Mr Forrester is one of the push- ers in the agricultural society there, and Clinton had a fall exhibition this year not equalled by many much larg- er towns." - BAD ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday af- ternoon, while the wife' of Mr J. G. Steep, Goderich township, was driving to town, accompanied by Mrs B. Shep- pard, of the Soo, Mrs Yates, of Oil prings, and a 10 months' old baby, they met with a bad accident. Some men were at work about the railway bridge on the Bayfield road, and the horse took fright and bolted, upsetting the buggy, and throwing the parties in the ditch.

It was found that Mrs Steep had a couple of ribs broken and her shoulder injured; Mrs Sheppard is hurt internal- ly, but is improving nicely; Mrs Yates was bruised and shaken up, and the baby escaped.
