The spuds were bought by weight and the bags were left with the purchaser. When emptied a large stone was found in one of the bars, a considerable amount of earth and many small potatoa s. The Purchaser views the matter as a viola- tion of honorable business principles and talks of adjusting the ntatter'egal- ly before payment is made. The stone weighed fifteen pounds. How You CAN TELL.—Girls of a marriageable age do not like to tell how old they are, but you can find out by following the subjoined instruc- tions, the lady doing the figuring. Tell her to put down the number of the month in which she was born ; then to multiply it by 50 ; then to add her age ; then suhstract 365; then to add 115 ; then tell her to tell you the amount she has left. The two figures to the right denote her age and the re- mainder the month of her birth. For example, the arnonnt is 822, she is 22 years old and was born in the eighth month (August). Try it. BUSINESS CHANGE.—On or about the rst of April we understand that Mr. W. D. Fair, so long deputy post- master in the office here, will take over the book and stationery business and store so successfully conducted for some Nears by Messrs. Ranee & Spald- ing. . Mr. Rance is now engaged in the banking business at Blyth. What Mr. Spalding will turn his attention to we have not yet learned. Mr. Fair is well and favorably known to NEwS- REooED readers as a gentleman of probity and strict l isinesa; principles. Miss Fair, his sister, a young lady too well known to req uire in troduetion, will assist in the store. \Ve wish Mr. Fair every success in the new business in which he is about to engage. BAPTIST ANNIVERSARY SERVICEs.— There were large congregations at the Baptist Church last Sunday and the services were of unusual power and in- terest. In the morning evangelist, W. H. Palmer, late of the. British Royal Artillery and recently with D. L. Moody in Jerusalem, preached a very impressive and soul -stirring discourse. Rev. A. Stewart, Willis (Presbyterian) Church preached in the afternoon with his usual ability. In the even- ing Mr. Palmer took for his text the tenth chapter of Luke and part of the 29th verse:—"And who ism y neighbor?" In his discourse the Evangelist pic- tured in vivid terms the priest and Levitt, on he downward ,journey froui Jerusalem to .Jericho, passing by the unfortunate on the roadside who had been robbed and stripped and wounded and his ultimate rescue by the good Samaritan on the upward journey, bringing horse the Truth to his hear- ers in a most logical and forcible man- ner, and showing that God dealt, with people according to their own indivi- dual hearts. Mr. Palmer is a good reasoner and does not loose the thread of his discourse. He will conduct special services in the same church during the week. On Monday evening his subject was "The Blood." It is needless to say that the discourse was of a very high order. Tits; "YuuNG" LIBERALS. I'r•inted bills were floating around town last week announcing that a "Young [ah- em! Association" would he formed in the council chamber on Friday even- ing. On reading the announcement the eagle eye of the editor glanced at, the names of the cornrnittee,,expecting of course to find twelve "young liber- als." Every business and profession almost was represented. The object was for "permanent organization and mutual improvement." The Mayor of Clinton, who has been working for the party for over a quarter of a century, a young liberal?' Ca.n it be possible that Mr. John Wiseman has just en- tered the ranks, or barristers James Scott and W. Brydone, or photogra- pher H. Foster, or W. Coats, or Israel Taylor? Surely not I it cannot be possible that these and several other good citizens have at this late peroid of Canadian history joined the "young liberal"ranks for "permanent organiza- tion and mutual improvement." Sure- ly such "young liberals" as James Smith, Dr. Wilkie, D. A. Forrester and a host of others, are not support- ing the Conservative government? There may be something in it after all when these "young rnen" are not an- nounced as "young liberals" and have not organized permanently for "mutu- al improvement." We are, however•, pleased to note that the "young lihcr- nl�" have organized and that at least. Hume of the old blood have seen the Error of their ways and apparently tome over to us. Warr NOT CONE TO, cltprropTP—Mr. D. Weism'iller, the gentleteeh who nearly captured 'South Huron on the Conservative ticket bast June, Is retir- iu from business in Hell. Just wherensa he intends to locate or what be is going to do we are not aware, but there might be an opening in Clinton if he is bent on business.
