ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE.—The resi- dents of Clinton and vicinity were startled last Friday morning on learn- ing of the sudden death of Mr. Samuel Cooper. For some time his home had been m Brucefield. On Thursday after- noon he borrowed a gun from his old neighbor, Mr. Alex. Ross, stating that he intended shooting coons or squirrels. lie proceeded to the bush but never returned alive. Late Thursday night or earlyFriday morning a search party was frmed and the deceased was found dead, the body leaning against a tree. A squirrel he had shot was also found near the dead man. Medical Assistance was summoned. The hat and a portion of the top of the head was found some feet from the body. The case was one of accidental shooting or suicide. His age was 44 years and several months. A lovingg wife and five bright children are left. The re- mains were interred in Turner's ceme- tery on Saturday. No good reason is advanced whytthe case should bo one of suicide. The accident theory seems to be the most probable cause of the sad death.

PLEASANT ,SURPRISE. —Mrs. Thos. Kearns S. S. Class (Ontario St. Metho- dist) surprised her on Wednesday evening. The members called at her residence on the London Road and presented the lady with a beautiful lamp. Theathering was one of the most enjoyable of the season and the surprise one of the most pleasing,. PROBABLY A MISTAKE. --- Several county papers had it that Rev. W. McDonagh presided over the County Orange meeting at Exeter last week. Bro. McDonagh was a visitor to the county meeting and was accorded a most hearty reception. He is an active member and belongs to one of the Lambtons. The meeting was presided over bythe County Master, although Bro. McDonagh is well qualified to fill the chair. The statement made by a certain portion of the press was either wilful misrepresention or ignorance, probably a mistake by reason of the latter. HURON ORANGEMEN.—The Parkhill Gazette -Review says :—The S. Huron County L, 0. L. met at Exeter on Tues- day. The attendance was large. The lodges in the county were found to he in a flourishing condition. A large in- crease of membership was reported. The chief interest centered in the selection of a place for the grand cele- bration on July 12th. Seaforth, Gode- rich and Parkhill were in the field for. the honor and the delegates from these towns worked hard for their respective places. Parkhill came out winner after a keen contest. The brethren are determined to make the celebration one of the best ever held in Western Ontario, and already arrangements are being made for speakers; etc., for the occasion. COLLEGIATE' INSTITUTE SCHOOL BOARD.—The annual meeting of the Collegiate Institute Board was held on Wednesday evening last, when the following accounts were .ordered to be paid :—Gilroy & Wiseman, $1.10; Map and School Supply Co., $6.50; Cooper & Co., $1.10; Edward Herman, $5.50; Watts & Co., 32cts.; J.

Her- man as caretaker of the school. OPEN LODGE.—An open lodge was held by the Good Ternplars in the Odd - fellow's hall, Searle's block, on Friday evening last. Lunch was provided by the ladies and a good programme given by the members, consisting of recita- tions, duets, solos, quartettes and tableaux; also a speech by the Grand Lodge Treasurer, Bro. Med- calf, of Blyt. All present seemed to enjoy the evenings entertainment, which was brought to a close by sing- ing the National Anthem. THE COUNTY PRINTING..—WC quite agree with an exchange that "enter- prise" is required to successfully tender for the printing for the County of Huron. For years the work has been preformed at a direct loss—some of it gratis. THE NEWS -RECORD has not, we are free to confess, the "enterprise" to work for a wealthy corporation for nothing and consequently did not tender. The county of Huron is able to pay for its printing. The county councillors and other ser- vants are paid and why not the printer? Tere may be "enter- prise" in working on the lines that type founders and paper makers will reap the profit, but business is best conducted'on business principles. It is fortunate indeed that a I-l:ouse of Refuge is likely to be erected. Shelter• at least may be provided for printers and newspaper men who will foolishly persist in working for nothing. AN IMPORTANT EVENT.—Last week we omitted to mention, through no fault of our own, a very important and highly interesting event. We will be excused when we state that we were absent and that a reliable report was arranged for these col- umns. Probably no more promin- ent or auspicious event has ever taken place in the history of Huron. It was the marriage of Captain Joseph Beck, of Saltford, to Miss Maggie E., the highly 'respected and accomplished daughter of Mr. John Kernighan, of Colborne, one of the most progressive and re,reseatative farmers in Western Ontario. Mr. and Mrs. Kernighan and the bride and groom, whose friends are legion, alike enjoy a very large circle of acquaintances. The groom, an hon- ored ex -Warden of the county of Huron, was ably supported by Mr. M. 0. Johnston, of Goderich, while Miss Sturdy, of:Auburn, supported the bride and looked very handsome indeed ; dressed in blue as maids of honor, the handsome and charming two little daughters of Mrs. Andrew Beck per- formed their pleasing part exceeding- ly well. The ceremony was perform- ed at high noon by Rev. Mr. Hender- son in the presence of a very large gathering on the 31st ult. The hand- some bride was becomingly attired and the whole surroundings were pretty and in keeping with the important event. The splendid wedding fealit was of a high order and a just reflex of the whole affair. The happy couple spent the honeymoon at eastern points and have returned to their comfortable home, The presents were of great value and variety, no two being alike. Mr. and Mrs. Beck have the best wishes of the THE NEWS -RECORD for a long, happy and prosperous voyage of matrimonial life and their host of friends in this section heartily join us in the sincere wish. pard Feature of our NEW °ASH SYSTEM is a GENERA CHEAPE'NINCG of everything in our st,re, resulting in some of the Greatest Bargains ever offered in Clin- ton.

The best of dressmakers may have designed her dress, but its perfect fitting qualities may be spoiled by ill fitting corsets. A corset that does not fit not only spoils the appearance of a dress, but is uncomfortable and unhealthy as well. We have added to our corset stock the celebrated N. p. CORSET) these corsets have a large sale in the cities and are now being introduced into the smaller places. They are of American manufacture, made from French models, and for perfect fit and comfort to the wearer equal to imported French Corsets. The filling gives to every motion of the body, yet does not crease up and cause the corset to lose its shape. They are made from fine jean that will wear, and have Newman's Patent Cork Clasp Protector on every pair. We have two qualities at $1 and $1.25 per pair Other popular makes of Corsets constantly in stock. What we have of heavy winter goods . can be had for very little money. Spring goods of all kinds are tumbling in every day and we want room for them. Est. J. Hodells, CLINTON.
