Cottle was getting some water, he stepped on a stick of wood, which rolled and threw him backward on the edge of a barrel. A severe strain was the result. NEEDED ASSISTANCE.— Mr Robert Brown went to Lucknow, on Monday. 'where he is to procure the artificial limb provided for him by the private subscript ions of the townspeople. Those who have not already paid their contributions, will very greatly oblige by at once handing the same to either Mr S. S. Cooper or Mr Joseph Wheat- ley. THE TREES. — Messrs Searle and Overberry, of the Street Committee, are endeavoring to secure the assis- tance of citizens in regulating street and private shade trees and should meet with the co-operation of all. Where trees are too thick or too c:ose to the walk either on the street or in- side fences, they should be thinned out, Now is the best time, we believe, to proceed with the work. BOARD OF HEALTH.—The Board of Health, composed as follows, the May- or, Clerk and Messrs Shaw, Stevenson, Irwin and Chidley, met on Tuesday for the first time this year. The Mayor was appointed Chairman. Resolutions were passed recommending the ap- pointment of Dr. Shaw as Medical Health Officer, and Mr Joseph Wheat- ley, as inspector. The matter of ask- ing the council fo make the construc- tion of earth closets imperative, was discussed, as was also the question of pure ice. MARK'S BROS,—A full house greeted Mark's Bros.

Tom Marks, a Michael James O'Holi- han, was ahost in a host in:himself, he is ably supported by a good company. Last night Esmeralda, Friday night, a Wife's Peril; and Saturday night, Dub- lin Dan. A Rash Marriage is the play for the Saturday Matinee, at 2.30 p. m. Prices—night, 10c and 15c; Matinee, adults 10c, children 5c. LECTURE—The stereopticon views of British Columbia, shown in Ratten- briry Street church, on Tuesday even- ing, by Rev: W.W. Baer, were very interesting as giving some idea of the formati )n and resources of that woh- derful and wealthy province, while the running comment on the views, by Mr Baer, was at times glowingly eloquent and minutely descriptive. The enter- tainrnentwas apleasing and instructive one. Mr jeaer.is to be congratulated on the., 7Cee`ti'rce of the views and his ,happy�i u1ty of description, mapy of •the audience could easily imagine they 9�;were travelling on the coast. STREET WATERING—A committee, composed offive members of the town council, has been afspointed to look into the matter of street watering, and see if it cannot be done upon a different basis to that which has been the prac- tise in the past. It has been the cus- tom for the council to make a merit of $100, and the business men to raise by subscription the sum of $200 more, to pay for the work for four months of the year. It often requires to be done for more than four months. Some are of the opinion that the work should be paid for out of the general funds of the town; others think it should be by a frontage tax. In Goderich it has al- ways been paidfor out of the general fund; in Seaforth by a frontage tax. The matter will be duly considered and reported upon at next meeting of c ouncil. FRIDAY EVENING WITH THE GOOD TEMPLARS.—We are sure that the crowd which filled to the doors the Oddfellows Hall, on Friday evening, went away feeling well satisfied with what they heard. We think, too, that their temperance sympathies and en- thusiasm must have been increased by the strong appeal made by Mr J. Mur- doch. This gentle.nan took for his subject "Love of home, love of coun- try, and love of God." He contrasted in a clear and powerful manner a tem- perance home and country, with a home and country where intemperance existed. The speaker's words were well chosen, and his thoughts admir- able and convincing. Stich speakers cannot fail to have a•telling effect in the temperance cause. The other speaker was Mayor Holmes. Although he took the platform without any pre- paration, he made a good point, when he said that as temperance was good for the iridiyidnal, it most be good for a number• of individuals, or a commu- nity. All his remarks were forcible and much to the point. Mrs Hoover and Miss Goodwin are too well known to Clinton audiences to require piaise from iis. The appreciation of their singing was shown by the hearty ap- plause they received. A new and pleasing feature was a selection on the musical glasses, by Mr C. Hoare; he was heartily encored. The mouth or- gan and banjo club, composed of Messrs Jer vie, Holdsworth, Shannon and R. Downs, literally covered themselves with glory. Mr Shrink and Mr Downs also sang comic songs, which quite sus- tained their reputation as comic sing- ers. Mr Coombs Faye a selection from Will Carleton,which was well received. The whole tenor of the entertainment. was most happy, and the temperance people are to be congratulated on the occess of their effort.. The collection *trot nted to $7. The Lodge meets! e Friday evening, and application ernbership may be m e through f the meuheraaof tbq r er, •serol. ST. PATRICK'S CONCERT.—The cran- ing St. Patrick's concert, which will be held on March 10th, in the town hall, promises to outstrip its predecessors. No pains will be spared to present an excellent -program. STOCK NOTES.—Mr Isaac Erratt, of Varna P. 0., has purchased from W. J. Biggins, Elmhurst Farm, Clinton, Ont., the three months old calf "Talis- man," sired. by "General Promise" 19766== and from "Matchless Gift" by " Impt. General Booth" (54353). "Talisman" is a straight Matchless in pedigree, and from present appearance will make an extra good animal. "Roy - el Albert," red,eleven months old, is yet for sale; e is sired b "Iurpt. General Booth," and frorn Matchless of Elmhusrt 10th, etc. JOHNSON-SMILY ENTERTAINMENT.— The entertainmentgiven in the Town Hall, on Feb. 28th, by E. Pauline John- s3n and Owen A. Smily, under the auspices of the Willis Church Y. P. S. C. E., was a success both in the sense of being a good entertainment, and in that of being a financial success. The readings by Miss Johnson were all ex- pressions of Indian sentiment and feel- ing. and in sornepointsutteringstrong condemnation of the white man's man- ner of dealing with the Indian. In this way we think that Miss Johnson dampens somewhat the admiration of an audience composed of white people. Nevertheless she admirably depicts Indian character and sentiment, and shows considerable dramatic shill in doing so. Mr Srnily pleased the audi- ence by his splendid efforts in comedy. There is nothing in them to offend, and very much to please and amuse. His r ender•ings of the selection "Behind the scenes" and Mark Antony's address on Cresar were admirable, and display- ed to advantage his powers as a come- dian. The public of Clinton will he glad to welcome Miss Johnson and Mr Smily again as good entertainers. TowN COUNCIL. --The regular meet- ing of the council was held on Monday evening. A communication was re- ceived from Mr Hess, of Zurich. offer- ing t o inspect the tower of the market building, at the expense of the town; the offer was accepted. Mr Lawrence, secretary of the County Patron Asso- ciation, acknowledged theindeotedness of the association for the free use of the hall. It was decided to purchase 17 pair of rubber boots for the use of the firemen, at a cost of about $-10. The report of the charity committee showed the expenditure of $0.75 for groceries and wood doting the month; Cooper & Co. supplying the groceries. A number of accounts were ordered to be paid. The receipts of the 'market scales for the rnorrth were $15.30; sta- tion scales, $6.55; cemetery, $-t; rents from halls, etc., H3. The auditors re- pprt was received and ordered to he printed. Mr Sear leexp'essed t he opin- ion that the council should petit ion the legislature to amend the Assessment Act. so as to more clearly define person- al property, he being of the opinion that telephone, telegraph, and electric plants should conte under this heading for taxaticn purposes. A motion was introduced asking that the street. wat- ering be paid for out of the general fund; a slight discussion ensued, and eventually a committee composed of Messrs Kennedy, Gilroy, Searle, Mc- Murray, and Cooper was appointed to report on the matter at next meeting. NOTES.—We are much pleased to he able to state that Mr John B. Rumball is now making favorable progress to wards recovery, the operation he un- derwent last week proving to be decid- edly beneficial.

It is expected that a lodge of instruction for this district, in connection with the Masonic order, will be held here, pos- sibly in April, when an interesting, time is anticipated. The thaw of last week settled down the snow consider•- ahlysnd-made travel a little bad for the time being. The daughter of Mr H. R. Brewer is confined to her room by illness.

It is made on much the same principles as the Magnetic and Watchspring Corsets. In- 1.tead of the old time heavy and clumsy bone or cord filling, it is filled with nar- row, highly -tempered steels, that give readily to every motion of the body. So highly temp»red are they that they can be bent double, and when released will immediately fly back to their original position. The covering is a fine, strong jean, combining strength and durability with lightness of weight. Light, strong, easy fitting, and comfortable, it is a corset that's sure to lead. The price is $1 a pair We'% e been busy the past week opening out new dress goods. Though they're not all here yet, there are many really handsome lines in this early shipment, and if you would like to have an idea of what's going to be worn for the coming spring, you are wel- come to look at these early arrivals. You'll not be pressed to purchase if you do not wish to. If you deal where they give credit, did you ever think that you are helping to pay for the goods of the man who does not pay up? Well you are! and most people have enough to do p: ying for their own goods these (lays Cash and One Price. Est.ro. ,. CLINTON LAST WEEK Mention was made of the unique value of a line q SUITS now in process of manufacture, to sell for $12. Since then a few samples of the suit have been made„and the exceptional value of the garments struck us so forcibly we thought that a review of the causes that led (up to this effect would be of interest to the purchasing public and our customers generally. 3n the First Place, The material used is an imported serge in various colors, known to the trade as "Unfinished Worsted," the wear- ing qualities of which is simply unequalled. Secondly, The conditions under which the goads were purchased render itwithin the realms of possibility to place before the peo- ple of Huron, a quality of material, the like of which for the price asked has • never in the history of the clothing business in the West been the privilege of any firm to offer heretofore. In the Third Place, One of the conditions previously referred .to is imply the fol- lowing fact: that In January we purchase 1 a quantity of goods at exactly $1.55 a yard less than it ost us for the same goods two and three years ago., this fact alone ac- counts for the otherwise incomprehensible fact, that whereas three years ago we asked for and sold, made to order, a Suiting for $25, to -day the same goods are soldr by us ready-made, for the e/ceedingly 10 figure of $12. Now, in the Fourth Place and Lastly The foregoing remarks are of a nature that some skeptical readers of advertisements mentally call wind ; to those we would say, in this instance as In all other advertise- ments signed by the name JACKSON BROS , that we never make a statement in printers' ink the veracity of which we do not ask all readers to judge for themselves by comparing what is written with what the articles in ( question really ate.
