dawn /Worn.
Hogs.—On Monday Mr D. Cantelon
shipped nearly two hundred hogs; the
fanners from whom they were bought
. were more lucky than the shipper, as
;. the 'market fell afterwards, and the
buyer will have to suffer whatever loss
there is.
BICYCLE SUITS.—The London Bicycle
tflub of seventy-five members,recently
,asked for figlires for suits for the mem-
bers, and Jackson Bros. of town, were
file successful tenderers. Mr T. Jack-
son, jr. was in the city this week de-
livering part of the order.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—Mr James Ford
has disposedof his butchering business
to Arthur Couch and Charlie Wilson,
and the new firm will go under the title
-'of Couch & Wilson. Both are well-
known business men, and need no re-
eommeiadation from us. Mr Ford has
not decided what he will do.
MISFORTIINES NOT SINGLY.—Mr R.
Heywood is: confined to his room by
nflammator rheumatism in, one of
his lege. While playing about on
Wednesday, his youngest daughter,
Vi:ra, aged about ten years, fell from a
fence and broke her arm. General
syrapath,, yy will go out to Mr Heywood
in his afflictions.
NOMINATIONS.—The nominations for
the vacant positions of Reeve and
Deputy, will take place at the Town
Hall, on Monday next, from 10 to 11 a.
m.—not 10 to 1, as stated on, the hill,
and if an election is neccessary it will
be held on Monday, June 3rd, the pol-
ling places being the same as at the
municipal elections.
GOING AHEAD.—If the figures pub-
lished by the assessors are correct,
Clinton has stepped ahead of its sister
town, Seaforth. Last year Seaforth
was credited with 15 more of a popula-
tion than Clinton. This year Clinton
is credited with 49 more than its neigh-
bor, the respective figures being, Clin-
ton 2481; Seaforth 2412. .
COLLEGIATE.—A meeting of the
board was held on Friday and a few ac-
counts passed. The board of Strathroy
Collegiate had made an effort to secure
the services of Miss L. J. li. McCutcheon
one of the teachers here, and sooner
than lose her services, our board felt
justified in giving her an increase of
$100 a year to her salary.
COUNTY COUNCIL. -The June meet-
iag-of the County Council will be held
on Tuesday, June 4, up to which date
applications for the various positions
in the House of Refuge will be receiv-
ed; it is said there are already about 35
applications in and the number is like-
ly to be largely increaed by the time
Council meets.
THE FROST.—Successive frosts night
after night are not calculated to im-
prove the growth of fruit or vegetables,
and the experience of this section has
riot been pleasant during the past week.
On Thursday night ten degrees of frost
were experienced. It is said that one
benefit of the frost has been to kill off
the myriads of young grasshoppers
that were being hatched out.
DISAPPOINTMENT.— Mr John Mur-,
ray, of town, who has just passed bis
examination at the fioronto College' of
Pharmacy, standing second in the hon-
or list, has a tinge of disappointment.
His standing among his fellow stu-
dents was so high that they all expect-
ed him to,lead the list and win the &old
medal, but a Port Hope youth just
went ahead of him. However, he has
not much reason to feel grier3ed;be-
cause his position is one of which he
may be proud.
CATTLE—On Saturday last Mr Brown
Marquis shipped two car loads of cat-
tle from here, for • Glasgow. The 38
head averaged a little over 1300 lbs.
each, and were as follows :—A, Fisher,
Colborne, 7 head, 9580 lbs.; W. Hill,
Colborne, 5 head, 8650 lbs.; James Cor-
nish, Hullett, 7 head, 8710; A. Innes,
Stanley, 5 head, 8380; John Gilmour,
St`anle , 2 head, 2715; G. Hicks, 4 head,
5050; H. Hicks, 2 head, 2815; R. Ster-
ling, 2 head, 2815; S. McCulloch 2 head,
2410; D. Hicks, 2 head, 2550, the five
latter are of Goderich township.
BUILDING MATTERS.—Messrs. Can-
telon & Hill have completed the base-'
raent for the addition that is being
made to the Hotel Clarendon; Mr T.
sMcKenzie, who has the contract for
the superstructure, will push it forward
at once. Mr P. Cantelon has given the
edfltract for the masonry of bis new
-house to Messrs Cantelon & Hill; the
'is
to Mr Henry Stevens (who
is #again in business for himself) and
the plastering to Mr J. Croll. Mr S. S.
t boper has just completed a new house
on the Hullett boundary for Mr James
-Ynf�tig, (the brickwork being done by
Messrs Heywood & Prior,) and has
cotnmenced Mr James Lindsay's new
`house on the Huron road.
FIRE Pf1ATECTION,—The Canadian
tnderwriters' .Association are not
.satisfied with the fire protection pro-
vided for this town, and in order to
retain it in its present class ask for the
foll.rwin —A night patrol, from dust
to daylight; two standard chemical fire
e�ittingguishers on reels; chief of fire
brigade to be fully paid and on con-
:tant duty; two firemen to sleep every
'mi'ght in the fire hall; alarm bell to ring
:automatically; hook and ladder truck
..to respond to all alarms for fire. We
wales that certain changes were also
asked of the village of Clarksburg, and
At publie meeting held in that place
the, villagers decided that the expendi-
ture re9uired was too great and they
t'eftiped to take actio' .
•
D .s. rue After a severe illness of a
couple of weeks, with pneumonia, Thos.
Fitzsimons_ passed away at the age of
33 year s. He was the youngest son of
the late Samuel Fitzsimons, and, al-
though Able to be arc und until his last
illness, really has not been in good
health fora considerable length of time.
He was a member at Ontario Street
Methodist Church, and belonged to the
Canadian Order of Foresters and leaves
a wife and three small children. The
Foresters attended his funeral in a body.
R. T. of T.—The open meeting .of
the Royal Templates of Temperance
which was held in the Oddfellovi's hall
on the evening of Thursday 16th was,
in every way, a great success, the hall
was well filled and the whole program
was pleasing and lively; on account of
a slight illness Mayor Holmes was un-
able to be present and provided as his
substitute Mr John Lowery, of Sum-
merhill, who admirably:performed the
duties of chairman. Mrs Hoover and
Mr Harland Freatly pleased the
audience by their songs, while Messrs
J. Emmertoa, B. Kerr, and T. Walker
furnished several selections of music
which were up to their usual standard,
Mr Lowery gave an interesting read-
ing. But the longest number on the
program was the debate on "Resolved
that woman by her tongue has caused
man more unhappiness than has been
caused her by man's intemperance."
The affirmative was taken by Messrs
E. Coombs and E. Jervis, while the
negative was supported by Messrs
Holdsworth and Bakes; at the con-
clusion of the arguments Messrs Low-
ery, McLeod aad Acheson, who were
appointed to give a decision, an-
nounced that the affirmative had pro-
duced the best arguments and had
therefore won the debate.
THE 24th CONCERT.—The climax has
been reached and all the arrangements
in connection with the grand concert
to be held in the Town Hall in connect-
ion with the 24th of May celebration
to -night, have reached a state of satis-
factory completeness. We have just
space to mention a few points regard-
ing this interesting event that have
come under our observation. Regard-
ing the exceptional quality of the mus-
ical features of the evening it would be
superfluous to add to the volume of
well -merited praise with which the ef-
forts of our local musicians have at all
times been greated. We also feel call-
ed upon to mention the uncontrollably
laughable feature of the evening, the
song and chorus by six boys, entit-
led ''Alaban_a Coon." We certainly
would recommend it in preference to a
year's treatment.. from a doctor, in cer-
tain cases, as a health restorer. The
fancy drill and Maypole dance have
been undertaken by twelve young lad-
ies whose names may be seen on the
program. To one who is not posted in
military manoeuvres of any kind, the
aforementioned performances are best
descr ibed as a succession of symmetric-
ally beautiful mirages. .These items as
seen by us in practice are certainly a
credit to the performers and their lead-
er.
NOTES.—Mr Thos. Walker has the
foundation for the House of Refuge
nearly completed. Mr Fred Rumball
has wisely remcved bis front fence,
thereby -improving and enhancing the
value of his property; the removal of
many other fences in town would have
a like effect. Mrs Jas. Sutherland, of
Hensall, was last week the guest of
Mrs McGarva. Mr Walkinshaw of
Hullett,expects to remove to town next
week. Miss LouieWhite,who has been
in England for several months, has re-
turned to town, accompanied by her
neice, from Philadelphia. The other
morning, while a couple of local wheel -
men were out for a spin; they had a
collision which wrecked one of the
wheels; this was bad enough, but the
misfortune of being two miles from
home was worse. Mr Farrell made an-
other spraying test here onWednesday.
Mr Geo Swallow has been appointed
General High Chief Ranger for the
I. O. F. Mr Robt Mason is now able to
sit up, and seems to be rapidly improv-
ing. Mr R. Reynolds is slightly incap-
iciated by a sore leg, and his son is
looking after his duties. Lot 1222 on
the East side of Victoria Street, offer-
ed by auction under power of mortgage
was not sold. Cattle buyers regard the
new cattle yards at Clinton Station as
exceedingly convenient and serviceable,
but state there is not yard room
enough, in case several car loads are
being shipped. Mr Peter Cantelon is
still confined to his room, but seems to
be improving. Mrs Corbett has gone
on a visit to Owen Sound. The follow-
inK teachers are home for a holiday;—
Misses Minnie Cooper, Brussels; Emma
Stevenson, Ethel: E. Turner, Gorrie,
Mr Geo. Cox. of Detroit, was here this
week buying horses. Mr Lu. Stevens
has gone to Detroit, where he expects
to reside in future. The other day, as
a certain young man was on his way
to the station, on a bicycle, he endea-
vored to "spread himself," and succeed-
ed, but the "spread" occurred in the
shape of a flying sprawl over the
ground; both cycle and rider were
somewhat injured. At a special meet-
ing of the town council, on Friday
evening, the resignation of Deputy -
Reeve Kennedy was accepted The
other day while handling an electric -
light shade, Mr Ed. Cantelon got his
hand badly cut. Mr Joseph Town-
send, who was so badly burned- at the
late fire, has recovered so far that he is
able to be out. Mrs W. Cantelon has
returned from her visit to friends in
Michigan. Dr. Gunn after spending a
few weeks in Chicago, the most of his
time being spent in the Hospitals, has
returned home. Mr Peter Grant, of
Cleveland, an old Clintonian, is visit-
ing his former friends here. Mr Fred
Snarling lias gone to Detroit. Miss
Lyons, of Dundas, will spend the
summer with her sister, Mrs Foster.
Mr Sid Smith shipped a quantity of
cattle on Wednesday. Mrs Belden, of
Seafortb, is visiting her parents here.
Mr Israel Taylor is this week in Toron-
to, on business. Mrs Manning, of
Exeter, is visiting here. Mrs An-
drews, Mary street, visits friends in
Manitoba next month. Mr Wolper, of
Berlin, is here on a visit to his son.
On Wednesday night Mr Emerson
organized a bicycle parade, utilizing
all the riders in town and others;
Messrs Foster and Brewer took photes
of the crowd. Some members of the
Sons of England Lodge *ill attend
the service with the Londesboro breth-
ren, on Sunday, and others will go to
Mitchell. The union meeting of the
East and West Huron Teachers' As-
sociaflon, held in the Assembly room
of Clinton Collegiate this week, has
been attended by about 200 teachers,
and has been a most successful meet-
ing; full report of proceedings will be �
appear next week. Mr Frank Snaith
leaves on Saturday for; SOu Ste ',Marie,
whe a heehat . ken, satiation.' "
