HtTRT HIMSELF.—On Sunday, while
Mr Geo. 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. Dramatic Co., Wednes-
day night, a four act comedy drama
entitled Struck Gas was well put in.
Tom Marks, a Michael James O'Holi-
han, was ahost in a host in:himself, he

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!

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. On Wednesday of
last week Mr and Mrs Chown were at
Mitchell attending the wedding of Mrs
Chown's sister, who isited Clinton on
her wedding tour. Mrs Cantelon,
Queen street, had the misfortune to
lose a pocket book, containing quite a
sum of money, one day last week. 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. A heavy cold confined
Mr H. E. Hodgens to his room for a
day or two, but he is now attending to
business as usual. Mr T. McKenzie
has bi en awarded the contract for the
erection of the brick cheese factory
near Holmesville. Mr Thos. Tipling,
of Detroit, is here for the purpose of
picking up a couple of good driving
horses. Mr Dan. Ross. of Stanley, has
been stopping in town for several days,
having had a cancer removed from his
mouth. Mrs McNaughton, of Stanley,
has rented Wilson & Howe's house,
Townsend street, and comes here to
reside. Dr. Shaw was at Brussels on
Wednesday, attending the marriage
of his sister„ Mr James Sheppard is
now general agent for the/Etna Life In-
surance Co. A number of Clintonians,
who were in Stratford last week, at-
tended the county jail and were escort-
ed through; all the prisoners were
shown them, but the visitors were un-
able to identify Chatelle, until told af-
terwards which was he. Judge Toms
has been holding Division court in
place of Judge Doyle, who is busy with
the Doniinion Voter's List. Mr D.
Cantelon shipped a car load of hogs on
Monday. The thermometer registered
120 below zero on Monday night. We
are very sorry tb hear of the death of
of Mrs Richard Manning of Exeter,.
which occured yesterday morning: she
was the mother of Mr W. N. Manning,
book-keeper at the Doherty Organ
Factory; Mrs Manning has heen failing
for some time, but only lately did her
illness asssume a serious nature.—
The town bared held its first. annual
dinner at the Hoteh'larendon last even-
ing Mr Hearn shipped a car of cattle
to Toronto,on Monday. Mr. Forrester•
shipped a car of tlax to the States this
week. After a long illness with con-
sumption, James A. Scott, youngest

Corset
That is rapid y becoming a favorite. 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.

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.
