HONORS.—In the London dailies of June 29th reference was made to a former student of Clinton Collegiate Institute, in the person of 111r J, R. Bone. He has been awarded the Rob- inson $50 gold medal, for ranking first in mathematics at the London Collegi- ate Institute, in a recent contest. FOR THE OLD COUNTRY—Mr J. Hun- ter left yesterday with three car loads of cattle, which he expected to accom- pany to the old country. He states that in all his fourteen trips across he has never experienced what he consid- ers a rough sea. As smooth as a mill pond would be rough enough for most persons. MONUMENTS—Messrs Seale & Hoover are getting up a fine granite monument to be erected in Exeter cernetery,to the memory of the late Leonard Hunter; they are making a similar one, for the same cemetery, for Mrs Winer. They are also making one to be erected to the memory of the late Adam Cantelon BAD ACCIDENT.—Miss Grace Webb, youngest daughter of Mr Ben, Webb, met with a serious accident in New York the other day, where sloe is tak- ing a nurse's course in one of the hos- pitals in that city. While crossing a street she was struck by a trolley car, and had both of ber legs broken, being otherwise injured. She is now in the hospital. DROWNED.—Ernest, .the ten -year-old and youngest son of Col. Holmes, D.A. G., was drowned on Friday afternoon, While bathing in the Assinibaine River, Winnipeg. It is only a short time since his eldest son met death by the accidental discharge of a gun, while out hunting. Col. Holmes is a cousin of R. Holmes, Clinton. ROAD MAKING—A further exhibition of the working of the Hamilton road grader was given on Joseph Street, on Tuesday, the people along the street • earth paying for the necessary teams. The h was very dry, and three teams were necessary to work the machine, ,• •w.Jch, however, showed that it was capable of grading up a road in fine shape. WINDOW FOUNTAIN —Harland Bros. had on exhibition in their store window the other day, a fountain designed by themselves, calculated for window dis- play. The special feature of this arti- cle lies in its extreme simplicity and in the fact that it requires no outside sup- ply of water, a pailful emptied into it, being sufficient, through the internal mechanism, to keep up a fine flow of spray for a couple of hours. PATRON LEADER.— Mr J. L. Hay- cock, leader of the Patron contingent in the Local House, spent some time in town last Friday, being on his way to the Patron picnic in Landsborough's grove, Tuckersmith. After dinner he Got a rig and started for Londesboro, . (having confused the names) and had e not been met on the road by a party who knew him, and put him in the right direction, the Patron picnic would l" have been minus one of its speakers. BURNED OUT.—At an early hour Friday morning a dwelling on Princess street, Woodstock, owned by Mrs Wat- terson, a widow, was completely de- stroyed by fire, together with the greater par t of its contents. The house and lot, valued at $800, was only very slightly insured. The total loss will be nearly $650. The origin of the fire is upknown. Mrs Watterson is a former Clintonian, a sister of Mrs Jas. How- son, and her friends here will sympa- thize with her in the loss sustained. TEACHERS AT HOME.—Among the Clintonian teachers who are spending their holidays at home are Mr Plum- • mer, of Blyth schcol; Miss Cooper, of Brussels; Miss Stephenson, of Ethel; Miss Holmes, of Sudbury; Miss Emily Turner, of Gorrie, and Miss Stout, of Mooretown, eldest daughter of Rev Mr Stout. Mr Coombs, of Clinton Colleg- iate, wheeled to his home at Richmond Hill; Mr McLean goes to Windsor; Mr Rand has gone to Brantford, and Miss McCutcheon goes to Delaware. Mr Houston and Mr Lough are busy with examination papers. ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— Late on Saturday night, aa'a business man was proceeding along the street from Emerton's barber shop, be was closely followed by some man who had apparently been watching for him.— Thinking the fellow's actions were sus- picious, the md'rchant walked out into the street, and was again followed by the fellow, who was seemingly making an effort to get close enough to strike him. Seeing a light in Dr. Shaw's ot- fice, and not caring for a tussle in the dark with an unknown assailant, he ran to the office, the fellow following him to the door. The office was open, but the doctor out, and the would-be highwayman then left, after which the merchant went hcme under guard of some friends who happened along. He is convinced the fellow's intention was to rob him, and thinks that when he removed the day's receipts from the cash drawer of the shop, the greedy eyes of the fellow saW him from the street. 1 � .� -OEM 1l ',Mfg Pnrn?fEeSsss be tiauy Sarittegan of a, recent mime timerefers, tq a son of Mrs Coats, Alpert Street, Cltkoton -J. 17. Coats, who Is in the employ of C L. Haskins, yecfeller, is the inventor of•a patent cannon pin- ion, which the Elgin Watch Company claim to be one of the most ingenious of any ever submitted to them. Mr Coats is an exceptional fine watchmak• er, and has a very complete and ex- pensive outfit of tools and machinery for doing fine work. Ile has two bro- thers who are watchmakers, one in Chicago and one in Detroit, thus prov- ing the fact of natural mechanical ability in the family. BASF BALL—The Goderich Star says: —The game of base ball played on the Agricultural },'ark, yesterday after- noon, between the Goderich and Clin- ton teams,was one of the best matches ever witnessed here. The figures 8 to 8 show that good work was done on both sides. At the fifth innings Clin- ton had not scored, and Goderich had but 3, which shows how hot the play was. Take the match all through, it was a most enjoyable one. "Cully" Ball, of Clinton, gave general satisfac- tion as umpire, and it is pleasant to add that the game was played through- out with mutual good feeling. The Signal says:—Collie Ball, who um- pired the game between Goderioh and Clinton had a difficult task to please -in so close a game, but the young gentleman came through the ordeal anooesfnlly, his decisions seemingly being in every case what the laws of baseball demanded. Mr Ball is to be congratulated on his impartial- ity as umpire, and the favorable impression left with the members of the Goderioh baseball olub. ADVERTISE YOUR STRAY STOCK.— If stock has strayed away, the best way to find it is to advertise for it, and if stock has come into your premises, the best way to find the owner is to advertise them. It saves time,trouble, anxiety and expense, as a newspaper covers the ground much better than anyone 'can in travelling. A week ago Mr Nelsen Bingham advertised a stray bull which had just come into his place; the owner, who lived at th" other side of the township, had been looking all over for it, when an advertisement would have saved him the trouble, and he got the animal as soon as it was ad- vertised. Last week Mr W. Dods - worth, Goderich township, advertised some stray sheep which had come into his place; the owner lived miles away, but got his stock as soon as advertised. A. O. U. W.—The public meetingin the interests of the Ancient Order of United Workmen was not as largely attended on Friday night as expected. On the platform were several members from Seaforth and Goderich Lodges, Rev J. W. Holmes and the Mayor, the chair being occupied by Mr Patterson, of Seaforth. District Deputy, Dr. Bethune, of Seaforth, was the first epeaker, and he simply spoke of the advantages of cheap fraternal insur- ance. Rev J. W. Holmes made a few remarks concerning fraternity and brotherhood. The speaker of the even- ing was Mr Milne, Grand Organizer, who is perfectly at home on the plat - fermi. He briefl' breed up the history of the Society, from its organization in 1868, to the present time, and showed what it had done in the meantime, in the way of insurance. Its first pay- ment in this direction was the sum of $131, that heing the extent of its assets. The membership of the organization is 345,000, of which 38,000 is in Ontario, the Society only starting in this Pro- vince in 1877. During its existence the Society had paid $60,000,000 to the wid- ows and orphans of decased members,. equal to $22,000 every working day; $3,010,000 of this money had been paid in Ontario, and to the credit of the So- ciety he showed that all its claims had been met without delay. Many per- sons had contended that the Society could not exist at the low rates paid by its members, but the best answer to this was the fact that it did exist. The Mayor was called on for a few remarks at the close. After the meeting was over, the members adjourned to their lodge room, where several initiations took place. NOTES.—Mr W. Taylor, the county representative of the Confederation Life Insurance Co.has proved so effi- cient in the service of this favorite company, that his territory has been increased, and now includes North Perth also. Mr A. Wolper (father of Mr Walper, of the Mason House) has received an offer of $75,000 for his hotel in Berlin, and will likely accept the same. The Misses Mountcastle have a beautiful night -blooming ceres in flow- er. Mr D. A. Forrester is expected home from the old country the begin- ning of the week. Town Clerk Coats and Chief Wheatley spent the' 1st in hunting frogs, and brought home no less than 4001 pair of frogs legs. Mr J. W. Irwin will .leave next week on a trip to the old country; he will go by the White Star line frotn New York, and will be accompanied by Mr Mur- ray, of Kincardine. A new post office, to be known as Hurondale, has been opened in the township of Usborne, to be served daily from Heneall; the post- master is Mr Geo. Dew. Miss H. Dodd has purchased a cycle from Mr. Yellow - lees. We notice that at the ,Toronto School of Pedagogy, Mr A.M. Burchill, an old Clintonian. has taken a first C Public School ani Interim HighSchool Assistant's certificate. Mr T. McKen- zie has made an addition to his house. The walls of Colclougha house, Huron street, have been torn down, and the brick will be used for the erection of a cottage. Cantelon Bros. are exporting large quantities of produce. Nessus Watson & Son, Blyth, shipped six cars of export cattle from here, Saturday; Mr Hearn shipped a car to Toronto, on Monday, Dr Gunn was called to Gode- rich, in consultation, on Wednesday. Mr Millar, Cheese Factory inspector, was here this week. Mr Po lestone Exeter, District Deputy I.O.F., visited Clinton Lodge Tuesday night.

There were no important case,; before Judge Doyle at the Division Court, on Friday last. Dr. Turnbull was in Mount Clemens professionally, this week. There is a probability that Mr Fred Jackson may leave Omaha and take tip his residence here; the matter is under consideration On Wednesday Mrs Brewer received a cablegram from Liverpool, informing her of the death, on board the Parisian, of ber sister, Mrs Gowans, of Montreal; the lady had left this aide apparently in the best of health,and her death was entirely unexpected; she leaves a fami- ly, most of whom are grown up.— The property belonging to the Bowers estate will be put up by auction Satur- day.
