Mr Car - line will proceed on a visit to England, if the health of his wife will permit it. Before their departure from town they spent an evening at. the home of Mr, Jhn Holmes, Huron Road, and were not only surprised to find a number more of the Brethern there, but Mr. Carline was very greatly surprised on being made the recipient of a very beautiful Bible. Mr and Mrs Carline have proved themselves good and hon- ourable r:itizens during their long res- idence here, and wherever their lot may be cast, they have the best wishes of all who know them.' MONUMENTS.—MessrsSeale&Hoover, of Clinton Marble Works, are placing in the different cemeteries of the coun- ty, some very handsome monuments, as occasionally stated in these columns. A few days since they erected one in the%t.10.cemetery,for Mr John Garbett in memory of his late wife; another is being erected in the Bayfield Cemetery for the late Samuel Turner, of Stanley. A particularly fine one is nearly com- pleted, which is also to go to Bayfield Cemetery, to the memory of the late Mrs Beacom, of Goderich Township; Mr Jas. Laithwaite has given an order for one to be erected in Clinton Cem- etery, to the memory of his son; this will be an exceptionally good one, said to surpass anything of the kind in this vicinity. PROVINCIAL INSPECTOR.—Dr. Cham- berlain, inspector of Prisons and Char- ities, paid a visit to Clinton, on Friday, to see the House of Refuge and site. Of course, he makes his report to the Ontario Government. but being asked as to what he thought of the plan and site, he said"The land is good, with fine chances of drainage, and the building will be a good comfortable one. I gen- erally favor more land than they have secured here -100 or 150 acres, because there is an opportunity to raise some- thing for the maintenance of the in- mates, but there is plenty of land to comply with the Government require- ments. The towrf is a very nice one, with good surroundings, and I regard the selection as very good." The Dr. had been making his official inspection of Goderich jail before corning here, and he says it will not be long before a new jail is necessary, as the present one is unsatisfactory. ACCIDENTS—OnFriday evening while Mr Arthur Cook was driving home, with several others in the rig, down near Kippen, the axle of the waggon broke; all were thrown out, but Mr Cook was the only one hurt, -he being injured on the face and one leg. The oter night while Mr Thos. Fleming was driving home, his horse ran 'away, and he was thrown out, ,,ggetting his hand badly bruised. Mrs B. P. Sibley happened to break a needle in her hand the other day, and it needed a doctor's services to get it out. The wife of Mr W. Oantelon met with a painful ac- cident on Saturday, by running a nail into her foot; ander a doctor's care she is doing nicely. On Wednesday morn- ing, while the, on of M- W. H. Bees- ley, aged abor three years wys play- ing in the yar , he fell' on the head of a nail, which pierced his thigh to the depth of an Inch, making aragty flesh ' wound.

Holmes, was discovered to be on fire. The Fire Company promptly responded to the alarm, and in lust 15 minutes after- wards the fire was completely subdued. This is remarkable quick, considering that the engine and hose had to be taken eight hundred yards. The fire had communicated to the kit- chen of the hoose also, but was stopped before much headway had been made. In the 'stable was Mr Medd's horse which it was impossible to release, and the poor brute was suffocated. It hap- pened that Mr Medd was away, hav- ing gone to London for the clay. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but is supposed to have been caused by a child playing with matches. There) was no insurance. BASE BALL MATTERS.—The matches between the different blocks in town, are creating no end of amusement, be- ing much more interesting than any professional games. On Friday night the Murray and Searle Blocks were pitted against each other, the score standing 16 to 16. On Monday night the Victoria and Smith's Block played, the score being 16 to 11 in favor of the 'former.

Several interesting cases were presented and discussed, among them one being of spinal curva- ture, and another of spaslic paraplegia or spinal cord affection. Dr. Gordou gave an account of the doings of the Medical Council at last sitting, and the stand he took on the various questions discussed was one generally approved of, especially the position he maintain- ed with regard to a higher matriculation standard in medicine.
