THE PARR.—Meanie Plummer and Cottle have re -planted trees at the Park, in place of some which had died, ' and have also repaired the track. They purpose cleaning nut the well and put- ting in i new pump, so that it may be utilized. STOCK.—Last week Mr James Snell of Hullett, sold to Mr Geo. Sane, of High River, Fal. W..T., two fine young thoroughbred Durham bulls. Mr Will Snell sold one to the same party. The animals were delivered at Seaforth for shipment. ARBOR DAY.—There has been but few trees planted this year, about sixty only. Citizens seemingly take very • little interest in arbor day, expecting the 'Council to attend to it. We are o the opinion that the matter will ,not be properly attended to every year, unless the council see to the planting, prun- ing and protection of the trees. BURNED OUT,—The Hartney, Man., Star of last week contains a full ac- count of the fire experienced in that place a few days before. Among the former Clintonians who suffered were Mr E. Bowers, harness maker, and Mr J. Young, hardware dealer, etc., (son of Mrs Hy. Young) who lost a $2,500 stock and had no insurance. MOVED TO TOWN.—Ota Monday last Mr Robt. Mason was moved to town, and seems to be improving as well as could be expected; in fact he is doing as well as can be expected; in fact he is -doing better than the medical men thought he could. The family have taken up their abode in the house for- merly occupied by Mr Weir, Albert St. FRUIT PROSPECTS.—Nearly all kinds of fruit trees'are out in full bloom at present Of course it is too early alto- _ gether to :predict- what may be -the re- sult, but it is said that hard winters are supposed to be good for apples, and as last year's crop was an indiffer- ent one, a big cropgenerally following a small one shoulbe the experience this year. HORSES,—Horses continue oto ad- vance slightly in price, and are more demand than they have been for some time. Mr Chas, Wallis, who recently took a car load to the Soo, says the de- mand there is supplied, although he is still buying for any other market which may present itself. Mr John Hunter took a number to the old country on Wednesday. ACCIDENTS.—On Thursday of last week Mr Jacob Taylor met with a painful accident. He was coasting on his bicycle down the hill leading out of Bayfield, when a conveyance which was ahead of him, stopped just at the turn to the bridge, completely blocking the way and causing him to run into iL. He was thrown from the wheel, and the seat bar made a cut several inches long in his thigh. After getting the wound stitched up, he was driven to Brucefield and came home by train, being confined to the house for several days. Mr Wm. Dixon, of Brucefield, (bro- ther of Mrs Geo. Lyon, of town) met with a painful accident on Monday, while visiting his daughter, Mrs T. R. Snell, at Exeter. While cleaning. his horse the halter shank broke, and the horse made a bolt for liberty, throwing Mr Dixon down in the stall, and before he could regain his feet the horse re- turned and stepped on his side, fractur- ing a rib. CONCERT. — Clinton's townspeople ' have always borne the enviable repu- tation of being liberal patronizers of local talent in musical and literary en- tertainments, and it is to be sincerely ( hoped that they will not fall short of the mark in the coming mammoth con- cert to be held in connection with the celebration on May 24th. The pro- gram, which will be of a varied and pleasing character, will be engaged in by over 100 people. The costumes of those in the various choruses, marches, etc., are all being designed with the object of adding as much brilliancy as possible to the secta.culareffects. The management also look forward to the extremely low price of admission as an 'inducement. Fuller and further par- ticulars will be given next week. R. T. OF T.—You can spend a very pleasant and profitable evening in the Oddfellows hall on the evening of Thursday, the IBth. The following is the program which will be presented:— Solos and duetts, Mrs Hoover and Mr Harland; reading, Mr J. Lowery; in- r'strumental, Messrs Emerton, Kerr and T. Walker; comic, R. Downs. A pleas- ing feature of the program will be the debate on "Resolved that woman with filler tongue has caused man more un- happiness than has been caused her by man's intemperance." The affirma- tive Will be taken by Messrs E. A. Coombs, B.A., and E. Jervis, and the negative by and Holdsworth and .Bates. The Maror will occupy the chair and will decide the debate. As no pains have been spared in the pre paration of the program, a highly snc- cessfnl evening is looked for, and you may he sere that if you miss this, you will miss a treat. See notice in another column. ro QIIERN's IIIItTRPAY ORLEBBATION. —Excellent and strong committees have been formed to arrange for the celebration of the 24th of May in Clin- ton, and those who wish a good day's sport should put Clinton down in their note book. There will be a baseball tournament, in which several strong clubs will compete, $00 in pries being offered, base ball, football and lacrosse matches, gun club contest, bicycle races, athletic sports, with a grand concert and fireworks in the evening. ENTITLED TO CREDIT.—It is a little over a month since Mr Porter took full control of the Post Office. The service to theublic in the past had been so admirable in every resect that people were a little apprehensive lest the in- experience of the new staff might cause some delay, and it affords us con- sider able pleasure to say, that the pub- lic are being well served,without de- lay or inconvenience. Te experience of Mr Blair, assistant postmaster, may bo in part responsible for this, but we have no hesitation in saying that the entire staff, in the face of many diffi- culties, have merited public approval by their courtesy and attention. EAST HURON CANDIDATES,—The fol- lowing are the number of candidates for various examinations in East Hu- ron:— Entrance P.S.Leaving Clinton 112 35 Seaforth 40 50 Wingham 61 38 Brussels 55 Blyth 85 12 Wroxeter 43 10 Fordwich 30 13 Total 376 201 Mr Robb will take charge of the En- trance P.S.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.—The annual meeting was held on Tuesday evening, the President, W. R. Lough, in the chair. The examiners reported 1762 volumes in good repair. 200 unfit for circulation, in the Library, and there are about, 900 books out. The Treasur- er's report showed the receipts to be $499.86, and the expenditure $491,51, leaving a small balance on hand. The liabilities of the Institute are 541.50. The officers elected are as follows : J. Houston, Pres.; J. H. Combe, Treas.; (for the sixteenth time), W. Brydone, Secy. 'The election of directors result- ed as follows :—W. R. Lough, J. H. Com -be, W. H. Beesley, E. A. Coombs, Jas. Scott„ J. McGarva, J. C. Steven- son, J. Houston, F. Fowler, W. Bry- done, it was decided that the Board should meet the first Tuesday in each alternate month. The reading room is supplied with two daily papers, seven weeklies, 13 magazines and three peri- odicals. The average daily attendance in the reading room was 21. By the new regulations passed at the last meeting of the Local House, the name is now changed to Public Library; the government grant has also been re- duced by $50, and the directors will experience considerable difficulty in managing a concern which has been hard enough even when the govern- ment assistance was twice that amount.
