CLINTON A BIC{ AND IMPORTANT TOWN.—The Expositor says : On a bright, clear day Clinton can be seen with the naked eye, and the whole surrounding country is spread out below one like a map.

An exchange tells of a sub- scriber to a certain paper who died and left fourteen years' subscription un- paid. The Editor appeared at the grave as the lid was being screwed down for the last time, and put in a linensduster, a thermometer, a palm leaf fan and a receipt for making ice. ENTERPRISE !—Last week several neighboring papers published the par- ticulars of the sad death of Samuel Cooper near Brucefield. THE NEws- RECORD gave all detail in readable from about a month since. There may be enterprise in printing "lige" news - matter a month old, but we prefer, as we generally. do,- in forestalling even the daily papers with their stale tele- graphic despatches. THE NEWS -RE- CORD is a newspaper. STOCK NOTES.—Mr. Heber Rawlings, of Ravenswood, Lambtoa county, Ont., the well known breeder of shorthorn cattle and cotswold sheep, has bought from Mr. W. J. Biggins, Elmhurst Farm, Clinton, the fine shorthorn calf "Golden Bar," an extra good one, hav- ing lots of style, quality and substance. He is from Rosebud Second (a Golden drop), sired by Irnlported Royal Duke (35356) and the calf is sired by Imported General Booth (54353) by Banner Bearer (40034), dam Nonpareil :411th, etc. "General Promise," a red matchless calf, is yet for sale. SENDING LETTERS IN NEWSPAPERS. —The Guelph Hearld says :—Post -office inspector Burnham has known for some time that a great many petty frauds were being perpetrated on the Post -Office Department. The one most frequently practised is the sending of letters by parcel post and in news- papers. The Inspector has got the names of several offenders, and intends to push matters, and thus put a stop to the petty business. Summonses have been issued for several, and instruc- tions have been promulgated to the effect that every offender caught, is to be punished. it isnot generally known that the receiver of any matter sent through the post, :n this way is quite as liable as the Gender, and more easily got at, as it is not always that the sender's name can be secured. • A RUN ON TOMATOES.—The Seaforth Expositor refers in the following way to a former Clintonian : A good story has come out on Mr. J. A. Clark, grocer and confectioner of this town. Last week Mr. Clark received a job lot of canned tomatoes and started to run them off at three cans for a quarter. Mr. P. S. Beattie, V. S., dropped in about supper time one evening and took three cans. Next day there was a regular rush for tomatoes, so much so, in fact, that the clerk was led to in- quire of a customer what was going on in .town that everyone was buying tomatoes. it ultimately turned out that, although the cans were labelled "tomatoes." they contained very fine peaches, worth about thirty-five cents , per can instead of eight and a third vents. Mr. Clarke has had a "tired ' feeling" ever since because' he didn't I ,fund it out at first. p, Si4'oomlak O.,' was in Goderleb Inst Monday, A.$SEssozI S� EvRNs started' on his rounds last Monday. Mn. JAMES FAIR', of the roller flour mills; received two cars of Manitoba wheat last week, Mn. Taos. JAagsoN, Sn., was a; Mitcljell last Friday on Sons of Eng- land usiness, THE MAGCAnEES continue to increase in numbers. There were two more propositions last Friday evening. JAMES Ross, a former resident of Clinton, is now working at the furni- ture business in Lucknow. THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE BOARD will meet in regular session a week from Friday evening. MRS. HENRY STEVENS, our readers will be gratified to learn, continues to improve. There is now good hopes of the lady's recovery. Too LATE,—Porters Hill and Tucker - smith correspondence, received yester- day afternoon, are too late for this week. . MR. W. A. Ross, Mrs. Ross and children of Goderich, were on a visit to the lady's parents. Mr. Ross returned to the county town on Monday. MR. D. CooK, SR., goes to Goderich on the 13th, being called thither in the name of Her Majesty the Queen. He will serve on the Jury. Ex -REEVE TORRANCE, of Stanley, and deputy -reeve Beacom, Goderich township, were talked of as Patron candidates for Soutn Huron. J. T. GARROw, M. P. P. for West Huron, passed through Clinton to Goderich last Friday evening and re- turned to Toronto last Monday after- noon. RUMOR,—It is said that Mr. Wm. Downs has purchased the Racy store next Weir's implement warehouse and that he will convert the building into a blacksmith shop. IMPORTANT WORK, IP TRUE,—We have been informed that the owners of land in the vicinity of Huilett swamp will or have engaged the dredge at Grand Bend to put in a twelve foot drain to the Maitland near Londes- born. VISITORS.—MISS Eagleson, of Bay- field, has been on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Henry Young, town. The lady returns to-day.—Mr. W. Eagleson and son, of Lucknow, were also guests at the residence of Mr. Young. POSTPONED. — Owing to the ex- tremely soft weather last Friday the carnival was indefinitely postponed. With suitable weather the carnival will be held and a race night will fol- low. Tan FAIR.—The weather for the monthly fair last Wednesday was spring-like. The snow had nearly all disappeared and sleighing was out of the question. There were a good num- ber of people in town and a few horses changed hands. • AccrDrNT.—Mr. Wm. East, while working in the moulding shop of the foundry, had the misfortune to meet with an accident. A piece of hot iron flew up and struck him in the eye. The inured member is recovering and he will not likely lose his sight. SHIPPING. — Last week Cantelon Bros. shipped ninny thousands of pounds of choice butter and thousands of dozens_ of fresh eggs. There is a good market in Clinton for all the butter and eggs produced within a radius of twenty or even thirty miles and the top pricke'is always paid by our merchants. IMPORTANT.—When correspondents are out of supplies, they must ask for more. The editor cannot keep track over such a very large territory. Always let us know when you require fresh supplies. We want all the news and we desire contributions as prompt- ly as possible. Write• on one side only. SUCcESSEUL.—We, are pleased to learn that our young friend, Mr. Fred W. Thompson, of Goderich township, passed a very successful and highly creditable examination at the Chat- ham Business College. He stood the test so well that he headed the list in several respects and was not defeated in any. This is just what the might expect and like to see. PIONEER DEAD.—Mr. Wrn. Cook, grandfather of the editor of THE NEWS -RECORD and one of the early and sturdy farmer pioneers of the county of Grey, died recently at the residence of his son near Sault Ste. Marie. His age was 05 years. IIe was sick but a month. The deceased was a typical Irishman who loved his Bible, Queen and Country. He was an Orangeman from art youth and „we. believe, an active member at the time of his death --IL period of nearly 80 years. The deceased visited Clinton ten or eleven years ago. OnnFELLows,—Last Tuesday was a big day for the I. O. of Oddfellows in Clinton, the occasion being a fraternal visit from the i)egree team of Huron Lodge of Goderich. The visiting brethren, to the number of 25, came down on the 2.46 p. in. train and lodge was called to order at 4 o'clock, when the Initiatory and first degrees were conferred on some candidates who were waiting to be made acquainted with the mysteries at Oddfellowship. The brethren then adjourned to the Rattenbury House where an excellent supper was spread, and to which they appeared to do :justice. The lodge opened again at 7.30, when the beauti- ful work of second and third degrees was exemplified by the team in splen- did style, songs and pleasant speeches were then indulged in until adjourn- ment, when the visitors returned home on the late train, which had been held over for them until 10.45. Visitors were also present from Hensel!, Bruce - field, Denver arid Minneapolis. Odd - fellowship is progressive in its nature; during the past year there were 2167 members received into the order, or a total membership of 10452 in Ontario alone, or a grand total of 773431 mem- bers of the I. O. 0. F. In Ontario the handsome sum of $77,344,94 was spent for the relief of members and their families, or a grand daily average of $210.63, and no one knows the amount of help given the sick and distressed, which cannot be reckoned by dollars and cents. There is also a cheap sys- tem of assessment insurance in connec- tion with the order, which the mem- bers may avail themselves of it if they see fit.—COM: eap 4.0118.

AN OLD SAYING.—MarCh 1St calve in quite lamb like, but if the predictions of sortie of the professedly weather- wise come true there will be sufficient of the lion nature manifested before the month is over to verify the old say- ing. Prof. Hicks of St. Louis predicts northern blizzards and southern cy- clones, with various other comforting weather luxuries, such as hail, thunder and lightning. Notwithstanding all of which many people are of the opinion that we shall have an early spring. NEW TEMPERANCE, Boos.—"The Gii,tling—with ammunition for the Temperance warfare," is the taking title of a. new temperance volume by Rev. D. Rogers. It contains numerous illustrations designed for the work, bound in handsome style with extra English cloth, and sold at •50 cents. Rev. Dr, Potts in the introduction says: "This hook is characterized by great variety of thought and style which will make it all the more useful to temperance workers. It bears the intellectual impress of its author and is a worthy child of his brain. * * * The present is a juncture in the history of Prohibition which demands an adapted literature, and that is placed before 'us in Rev. D. Roger's! Catling," &c, Its mechanical execution reflects credit on the Book & Publishing House, Toronto, Some years ago Mr. Rogers published a stirring little tem- perance volume which met with gen- eral and generous approval, iLs the whole edition was exhausted in a few months. This book will be on sale next week, or may be' obtained, post paid, by sending to the author, Dun- gannon P. 0. --Stratford Herald, MILS. BUCriANAN and family will join husband and father at Vancouver, H. C., within a short time. REV. M. TURNBU*I.r., of Goderich,will occupy the pulpit. of St. Paul's church this (Wednesday) evening. Doo FOUND.--Drayrnan Frank Evans has recovered the lost dog he adver- tised in THE NEWS -RECORD. The ani- mal was, through the advertisement, discovered near Porter's Hill. An ad. in THE NEWS -RECORD is sure to pay. MRS. DORTCH, sister of Messrs. George and Thomas Cottle, accom- panied by her son and daughter, is on a visit to her brothers here. It is seventeen years since the lady left Clinton. Her home is at Barron, N. Y. State, near Buffalo. THAT SCOTCH RECEIPT.- -The Scotch people are generally noted for having some of the best that is going. An that at the most reasonable expendi- ture. Several in town (not all Scotch by any means) have tested a pork cur- ing receipt, as mentioned in THE NEWS -RECORD several weeks ago. For a 100 or 120 pound porker the receipt calls for 2 quarts ale, 2 lbs. brown sugar, 1 11). common salt, 1 lb, bay salt, 2 oz. salt petre, 2 oz. white pepper, 2 oz. black pepper, 2 oz. Jamaica pepper; let pork stand one day covered with common salt, then pour on mix- ture boiling hot; in from two to three weeks the meat will be cured and ready for use, We have been favored with a small piee pied as above and pro - bounce it a ve the ordinary. The receipt is cer ainly worth preserving and trying. THE SPECIAL THINE Which will be looked forward to by shrewd buyeirs this season will be the unprecedented values offered in $7.00 and $10.00 SIIITS): by us.
