THE PARK.—Messrs • 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 pat- :. divan a; new pump, so that it may be utilized. STOOK.—Last week Mr James Snell of Hullett, sold to Mr Geo. Sane, of High River, N. W.T., two fine young thoroughbred Durham bulls. Mr Will e knell sold eine 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, "exFectin• the council to attend to it. We are of 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 ova —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 elintonians who sufferad were Mr E. Bowers, harness maker, and Mr J. Young, hardware dealer; etc., (son of Mrs Fly. Young) who last a $2,500 Stock and had no insurance. MOVED TO TOWN.—On 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 occapied by Mr Weir, Albert St. FRTfIT 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 etperience this year. •'' 4fs •. HORSES.—Horses continue to ad- vance slightly in price, and are more demand than they have been for some time. Mr Chas. Wallis, who recently .• took wear 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 it. 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 Brumfield and came home by train, being confined to the house for several • days. Mr Wm. Dixon, of larucefield, (bro- ther of Mrs Geo. Lyon, of town) met with a painful accident on Monday, while visiting his daughter, Mrs T. 11. 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 hie 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 deeigned with the object of adding as much brilliancy as possible to the spectacular effects. 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. or T.—You can spend a very pleasant and profltable evening in the Oddfellows hall on the evening of Thursday, the 16th. The following is the program which will be presented:— Solos andduetts, Mrs Hoover and Mr Harland; reading, Mr J. Lowery; in- etrtimental, 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 her tongue has caused man more un- happiness than has been caused her by inan's intemperance." The, affirma- tive will be taken by Messrs E. A. Coombs, B.A., and E. Jervis, and the negative by Mesers Holdsworth and Bates. The Mayor will occupy the chair and will decide the debate. As no pains have been spared in the pre paration of the program, a highly suc- cessful evening is looked for, and you may be sure that if you miss this, you will miss a treat.

ENTITLED TO Cit.EDIT,—It is a little over a month since Mr Porter took full contr of of the Post Office. " The service to the publicc in the past had been so admirable in every respect that people were a little;, apprehensive lest. ttie in- experience of the IICW staff" might cause somedelay, and it affords us coil-. .siderable-pleasure to say that the pub- lic are being well served without de- lay or inconvenience. The experience of Mr Blair, assistant postmaster, ay be 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.

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 $41.50. 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. Combe, W. H. Beesley, E. A. Coombs, Jas. Scott, J. McGsrva, 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.
