SAMUEL PIKE, of the Waverly House, is around again. He cannot well be detained from the garden this fine weather. THE CANADIAN ORDER OF FORES- TERS has made the grand increase of over thirty in Clinton during the past month. RETURNED.—Mr. D. R. Menzio, who has been residing at Goderich the last feud years, returned with his family to Clinton last week and is now domiciled in his comfortable residence on Prin- cess street. He has not yet decided what he will engage in. MONEY LOST.—The other day Miss McHardy lost on Rattenbury street, between St. Paul's Church and Mr. 3. H. Combe's residence, a purse con- taining a number of bills, jewellery, card with owner's name, etc. A re- ward of five dollars is offered if return- ed to the lady at Mr. Combe's resid- ence. THE NEWS -RECORD would be pleased to learn that the money has fallen into honest hands. We hope to be able to give the name of the finder. RUNAWAY.—Mr. D. Cook's delivery horse, a very quiet animal, took fright last Thursday, smashed the wagon and caused an unnecessary bill of costs. A lively beef animal was being led down Albert street and its repeated dashaway tactics frightened the un- tied horse. The latter turned down rrincess street, and into its own stable yard, around several nooks and cornet s and was captured. The breaking of an axle was the greatest damage. THE FIRST SHOTS FIRED.—The Huron Rifle Association had their first practice last Wednesday. The targets have been repaired and placed in posi- tion and a good season's recreation is naturally anticipated. There were five ranges for the first practice -200 yards prone and standing, 400, 500 and 600 yards, five shots. N. Robson secur- ed a grand total of 93, John Johnston 91, John F. Spooner 83 and John Scruton 68. In the past our people have not taken that interest in the rifle which we might expect. Sharp- shooting is a science that should com- mand the deep interest of all classes of people. TALES FROM THE TROUT STREAMS. —The trout fishing season opened auspiciously on Tuesday. The weath- er, warm and moderately cloudy, was all that could be desired for successfully angling the trick- iest denizens of our inland streams. Lovers of the sport went in parties numbering from two to a dozen in all directions. The most successful group was probably that comprising Messrs. Johnston, Riter and Chief Wheatley. The writer was favored with a delicious breakfast at the hands of Mr. Riter. There is certainly no "fish story" in the size or quality of the ones he presented us. Kings or Queens would relish them. Messrs. W. Coats and Geo. Theobald followed a day or so after and the result of their labors placed eight beauties on exhibition, the largest probably twelve inches long. The Guelph Herald refers to a number of aldermen and others trom that city in their exploits on the 1st of May. It save :— "They succeeded in catching the limit, fifteen pounds each. The fish ranged from half a pound to two pounds. One which met its fate at the end of George Newton's line, tipped the scale at three pounds. Lot Singular, Joseph Crowe and M. Swindles went to Aberfoyle and brought home nearly six dozen of which 20 were on Mr. Sin- gular's string. Game Warden Atkin- son has the names of eight or ten per- sons who caught more than the limit and they will be prosecuted." 11fisa: MIlf44141# of Woodstook, is the • guest"of her wept, Airs. WW1..

CARLING, of town exhibit- ed au iml,ro ed farm gate in Exeter last week, THIS is the time of year when the husband makes himself scarce around the house, to avoid beating the carpet, taking down the stove pipes, etc. D. CANTEION will ship a car load of live hogs this week and another next week. Re has shipped severalcars of potatoes. Mn. WM. RUTLEDGE, while rolling a log the other day, dislocatod his thumb and will not be able to use the member for some time. ED. CANTELON, who was confined to the house for several days with rheu- matics of the lower limbs, is around again. THE anniversary services in the Ont- ario Street Methodist Church last Sun- day were a success. Rev. Joseph Edge, of Acton, preached in his usual eloquent style. EDITOR DINGMAN, of that able paper, the Stratford Herald, called on THE NEWS -RECORD yesterday. He had been on a visit with his wife and child- ren to the lady's parents, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. McDonagh, of Exeter. ACCIDENT.—Tho • other day IMI. Fe- lix Hanlan tripped on a board and came to the floor very suddenly. A medical gentleman was required to bandage his wrist and now he carries his arm in a sling. No bones were broken. A LITTLE BLAZE.—This time from the electric wires over the entrance to Davis & Rowland's hardware store. It happened Saturday evening and• was caused by the wire becoming uncovered through rubbing on a piece of galvaniz- ed iron. There was no damage. As POPULAR AS EVER.—A Toronto correspondent of the Georgetown Herald writes : Much dissatisfaction is felt at McCaul street Methodist church at the Transfer Committee's decision that Rev. Mr. Edge, of Acton, should not be transferred to the Toron- to Conference. He would have made a good man for a city church and we live in hopes of getting himp yet. THE FRUIT CROP PROSPECTS.—The prospect for a good fruit harvest is very encouraging at present, and if cold weather does not intervene with serious effect, there will be an abun- dance of peaches, plums, cherries and apples in the Niagara peninsula this year. Thefruit districts of Huron, Brace, Perth, Middlesex, Oxford, Halton, Wentworth and Lincoln look especially promising. An old fruit dealer said he had been examining the blooms and he found them remarkably fresh and healthy -looking. BENEFIT CONCERT.—Last night there was a benefit concert in St. Paul's church school room in behalf of Fred McGaw, of Guelph. Mr. McGaw has been an invalid for thirteen years and the object was to procure a medical steel appliance to assist him to walk. The following ladies and gentlemen were on the programme :—Mrs. R. Ransford, Miss Mountcastle, Miss Her- man, Mrs. Hoover, Miss Hattie Rum - ball, Miss Andrews, Miss Gibbings, W. P. Spalding, W. Holloway, H. Gould, 13. Gibbings, T. Walker, J. Emmerton, B. Kerr, H. B. Combo, T. Prangley, W. Harland. Rev. Mr. Fairlie, Chairman. At the time of going to press we were unable to give the result. THE RAIN DID Goon.—Saturday's plenteous showers , will do much to advance vegetation. • Even as it is, spring is a good two weeks ahead of itself this year, A year ago it was well on to the middle of May before the chestnut bods broke, but this year they are already out. The maple buds are bursting, the grass is growing green, and on every side are the indi- cations that a few days of warm weather are bringing tree and shrub and llant out in the full glory of vernal eafage. The world is full of wonder- ful things, but there is nothing more wonderful or more beautiful than the re -awakening of nature when the frost gets out of the ground, when the sun- shine warms its hands and the birds freight the air with merry madrigals THE LA'Z'E CHARLES SPOONER.—In the death of Charles Spooner last Thurs- day a well and favorably known resi- dent is numbered among• the many silent. He had been confined to bed for six months or more since the death of his wife about a year ago and never seemed to rally to his old-time vigor. Born in Elford, county Staffordshire, Eng., over 71 years ago, he for some time followed railroading in England and Scotland and came to Canada about 1851. He spent some time in Cleveland, U. S„ being en- gaged in the butchering busi- ness. Later on he was engaged as foreman in the building of the rail- way between Chatham and Windsor, and later on was time -keeper for the late Mr. Whitehead in the building of the Buffalo and Lake Huron rail- way to Goderich. Then he engaged in the butcher ing business in Clinton and was a partner here with the late T. Thomas. At ' the time of the oil fever or boom at Bothwell he engaged in the butchering there for a time ; then sold his business here to Dayment and Foster and was one of the first to engage in the export cattle trade. This he carried on for about five years. He launched out in the dairying business for several years and finally engaged in the hotel business. He was once married, being Joined in wedlock's bonds trysa Miss Dayment some 35 years agd: Four eons and four daughters were born to him, one son, one daughter and Mrs. Spooner being deceased. Those sur- viving are Charles, John F. and Elliott, town, and Mrs. C. McGregor, Hullott, Mrs. Hall and Miss Dolly, town. The deceased was one of the most honor- able of men, an old and trusted member of the Masonic Order and of the Episcopal faith. The funeral last Sun- day was under Masonic auspices and very largely attended by home and neighborhood brethren and the general public. Peace to his ashes. �o Local Dealer Can Compete frith vs in variety or price. Our new designs and colorings are hand- somer this year than ever before.

It is the supplying of this that has made Priestley's Dress Fabrics So highly esteemed the world over. For beauty, tex. ture and enduring quality they are unequalled. Manufactured as they are, in pure wool and in silk and wool interwoven, these goods have a soft richness that is a per. feet delight to a lady of taste. A dress of Priestley's fabrics retains its style and beauty as long as there is any of' it left, hence they are the most economical to buy. Priestley's goods are mostly in Black, and Black and White, and you -can be sure you are getting the genuine by see• ing that they are rolled on a varnished board with the words "Priestley's trade mark" stamped across the end ; unless they are so rolled they are not Priestley's. You can get Priestley's Dress Fabrics from us. We are sole agents for Clinton, and have a fine range for you to select from. Something New Stewart's Duplex Safety Pins We have just received from the markers in New York a ship- ment of these pins. They are a great improvement over the ordinary safety pin, lock as freely in the dark as in the light, and from either side, cannot miss fastening passing through, the point is completely hidden and. pr tected when fastened, and also have the additional ad- vantage of the "guard attachment" over the coil, so that the' fabric cannot catch Therein, as is so often the se with the common safety pin. We have them in tl'ee sizes, small, medium and large. They cost a cent or two a dozen more than the common kinds but then the're far better. ' Esi. J. Hogens, CLINTON.
