A FAITHFUL Doo. -The late Mrs. Hunt, who died in Brussels on Sunday week, owned a little black and tan dog wen up in years. The animal was very much attached to his mistress and could hardly be driven from under the casket, Finally, on the day of the funeral, the dog followed the remains to the door and rubbed up against Mr. Harry Hunt and mournfully gazed at him as though it were human. The dog knew its mistress was gone and mourned for the departed. It seemed everything but human. CAUTION.—Owners of lots in Clinton cemetery should bear in mind that there are by-laws governing the pro- perty and the caretaker is compelled to obey them. Some people have, probably unintentionally, been in the habit of depositing grass and weeds so that a nuisance has been caused in several instances. The committee have decided to prosecute all violators here- after. A little precaution on the part of those interested is all that is requir- ed. The caretaker is engaged to per- form certain duties and the by-laws compel him to do so.

There cares severe correspondeute we have not heard from for some time and ()there that might send us more news. What we desire, of course, is ACTUAL NEWS; not drives. Will aur army of well-wishers take hold, You are doing wee—some can do better. A CHEEKY FIRM.—The firm of Ham- bly Bros., Toronto, do not lack cheek, whatever else they maylackin other re- spects, They are in the memorial printing business and evidently have an agent in the various towns to warn them of the death of any citizen. When such a sad eventoccurs, prompt- ly the them have the "thoughtfulness in remembering you inyouraU iction" and solict your order for a little printing at a high price, much higher than it can be procured for at home. If you ac- cept the sample and do not want :more, these city sharks ask for "15 cents for the trouble taken on your behalf ;" if no , the return of the card is asked, "Which will cost you one cent for post- age." The better way for people to do is to avoid sharks who sympathise with you for the sole purpose of gain. They prey upon your feelings for no other purpose. CANADA'S FAVORITE FAIR.—We ire in receipt of the Western Fair Prize List, reminding us of the dates, Sep- tember 12th to 21st, and showing the London management are still alive to the country's interests. Some people have a very wrong conception of Fairs and their objects, thinking that the Directors of these associations run them for personal gain, this is not the fact however, Fairs belong to the people, and whatever good there is in them or accrues from them is for the benefit of the cr.inmunity as a whole. The Western Fair has marched steadily forward since its inception in 1868 until the present, and' bears the stamp of in telligence, industry, invention, wealth and fashion, and largely indicates the financial prosperity of the Province. It has progressed and will still become more and more popular (as it justly merits) so long as the Directors con- tinue to make it a live, progressive Exhibition. Every one should aid in some way, either by being an exhibitor or as a visitor, for the greater the success of the Fair the greater the benefit to the people. We strongly advise helping it along. Many import- ant changes have been made in the Prize List, which adds to its usefulness, and will he appreciated by the exhibitor. By request we say that a copy will he sent any applicant by addressing Mr. Thomas A. Browne, the Secretary, London. CAUSE FOR LIBEL.—The following from the Blyth Standard may form t)aa basis for an action for libel. The remarks refer to the fishing party men- tioned last week. The Standard says the party were in Blyth "on a riday even- ing on their way home to Clinton from Auburn, where they had spent the clay fishing. They reported having had a gond time and spoke glowingly of the interest taken in them by Mine Host Jacob Kuntz, who left nothing undone to make their visit to his village a pleasant one, in fact they seethed to, know more about, Jacob and his kind- ness than they did about the fish they caught." A NOVEL CONTRIVANCE.- .Mr. Wm. Harland, of Harland Bros., has suc- cessfully worked out a novel contriv- ance. It is an air pressure water fountain which works with exactness, and throws a handsome spray of water two feet in the air. There is a water chamber and an air chamber, the centre between the two coming to a taper, and an air and water tube pass- ing (inside) down either side. The fountain can be placed in store or shop windows and, charged with a pail of water, will throw a strong spray for several hours. Built on a large scale, it could be utilized for other purposes. The contrivance promises to come into general use. THE HONORED DEAD.—The Brussels Post furnishes the following :—"Early last Sabbath morniug the spirit of Mrs. Robt. Hunt was beckoned away. The old lady, who was past 84 years of age, had conte to Brussels a few weeks ago to visit her daughter, Mrs. J. Y. S. Kirk, and although everything was done for the old lady she passed quietly away conscious to the last. Deceased was born in Cambridgeshire, England, and was united in marriage to Robt. Hunt, who died 25 years ago. They came to Canada in 1853, lived in Ben - miller for a few years and then moved to Clinton where they resided up to their decease. Mr. Huns and sons were millers and the late Wm.'Van- stone, of Brussels, served his apl:ren= ticeship with the former. Four child- ren survive Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Kirk, Brussels ; 11. Hunt, Clinton ; Mrs. Dark, London ; and D. Hunt, Bay City, Mich. Mrs. Hunt's remains were conveyed to Clinton on Sabbath after- noon and the funeral took place on Tuesday, the service being taken by Rev. I1r•. Park, of the English church, of which the subject of this notice was a worthy member for years. Although so old Mrs. Hunt retained her faculties in a wonderful manner and her hear- ing and eye -sight were first-class. Mrs. Hunt's grandmother lived to be 104 years of age and was abont the house 4 days previous to her death." THE GUILD GARDEN PARTY.— The season for outdoor amusement is ad- vancing and the several churches and organizations are alive to the fact. Of the several garden parties held pro- bably none has been a more signal suc- cess than the one on the rectory grounds, under the aus pices of St, Paul's Guild, last Thursday evening. The grounds are admirably adapted for such an event, and those directly interested did not spare labor in having everything in good shape. The gipsy tent was a novelty and was liberally patronized, the flower stand attracted old and young, while the lemonade booth quenched the thirst of many a palate. There was an army of waiters kept as busy as bees looking after the wants of some six hundred people, and it seemed for 'a while as though the crowd could not he accommodated. To do so the tables had to be kept go- ing until about eleven o'clock. A nov- el feature was neatly designed hand - painted souvenir bills -of fare for each table, and they sold readily at 25 cents each. The electric and lamp lights, Chin- ese lanterns and flagdecor aeons, and ex- cellent music by the hand, all went to make a pleasant evening. The receipts were over $100. The Guild desire to thank' the public generally for their presence and substantial encourage - went. GRANOI.ITHIC PAVEMENTS.—Some time since the Clinton Council talked of trying granolithic pavement as an experiment. The price asked at the time by a London firm was, we believe, 17 or 1714 cents per square foot. Leam- ington has made a contract for 12cents per square foot. Kincardine has just received six tenders for similar work and accepted that of the Silica Byratic Company of Ingersoll for 10§ cents per square foot. Exeter 18 paying 171c. per square foot for 5,000 feet, the esti- mated cost of which is $1073 ; of this the property owners pay $715.35, the balance $355.78 coming out of the cor- poration funds. It might pay the Clinton Council to look into the merits of this pavement and try a piece of it as an experiment for this coning fall and winter. The cost would not be great.
