Cantelon and J. McMurray, members
of Clinton Gun Club, were among the
successful contestants at the live bird
tournament in London last week.
Pam WHEAT,—Farmers inform us
that fall wheat has wintered well, and
is looking fine. So far there has been
no weather to injure it or frosts suffi-
cient to heave it, but it has not yet
passed its most critical time.
Smits of SCOTLAND.—The 18th an-
nual meeting of the Grand Camp Sons
of Scotland met at Niagara Falls this
week. Delegates from Huron are:—
J. Henderson, Wingham; M. D. Mc-
Taggart, Clinton; A. C. Hunter, Gode-
rich; A. Scott, Seaforth; Jas. McAlpine,
Brussels.
AssEssMENT.—Mr Stevens has com-
pleted the town assessment, and says
he never found the houses better occu-
pied,there being very few vacant ones.
He has not the figures all entered up
yet, but believes the population and
valuation to be about the same as here-
tofore. In his opinion considerable of
the property is assessed at its full
value, in fact he believes that some of
the property is rated at more than it
would sell for.
•
STOOK NOTES.—Mr Thos. Lane, of
Tuckersmith, has purchased from W.
•-J. •Biggins, Elmhurst Farm, the twelve
month old calf "Royal Albert;" he is
sired by the Imported Nonpariel bull,
General Booth (54353) and his dam is
Matchless of Elmhurst 10th, of the
Matchless family. She is a -famous
milker and a grand cow. Royal Albert
is a fine big thrifty fellow, with abund-
ance of style and quality, and a good
representation of the well known
Matchless type of shorthorns.
WILL NOT CALL.—The papers are
mentioning that two additional boats
• of the Beatty Line are to call at Gode-
rich during the season, making four of
this line which are to call. This, we
believe, is a mistake. The Beatty Line
boats will make no call whatever at
Goderich or Kincardine, if our infor-
mation is correct. instead of making
Sarnia their termini, they will run
from Windsor, and give Goderich
and Kincardine the go-by. This will
be a misfortune for this section of
country, especially to shippers.
LICENSE COMMISSJONERH.—A meet-
ing of the License Cotnrnissioneis of
West 1-iuron was held at Inspector
Paisely's office, on Monday afternoon.

tions of R. ltlason, Clinton, J. ('ar roll,
Saltford; and J. Hamilton, I3enmiller
were held over for future consider at.ion.

Cloud Novelty Works, of Michigan,
purpose starting an industry for the
manufacture of a Hame-Fastener, and
Harness Buckles,in some part of West-
ern Ontario. They say they will em-
ploy between 35 and 50 hands, their
plant to cost $17,000. They claim to
have an offer of a cash bonus of $3000,
free site, water power, free light and
exemption from taxes for 20 years, but
they want a larger place and have writ-
ten to this municipality. They are
willing to accept a loan of $10,000, with
a free site, power and exemptions for
twenty years.
SUDDEN DEATRS.—Mr Lucas, a pro-
minent resid'ent of Markdale, was taken
suddenly ill on Saturday, while visit-
ing relatives at Watford, and expired

off work iry a slight cold; this develop-
ed into pnuemonia. So trifling was
the attack considered that he was out
last Friday, but inflammation of ,t.he
bowels also set in, and he took to bed,
rapidly getting worse, all efforts for
his recovery failing. He was a nephew
of Mrs. Hugh McDonald,town, and the
youngest son of Mr Watters, Tucker -
smith. He was a member of the Odd -
fellows' Society, and will be buried un-
der their auspices, at 2 o'clock to -day.

beautiful floral tribute to adorn the
casket, as did also the Oddfellows.
