TO BE OPERATED ON.—Mr Thomas Rodaway has gone to Toronto, where be expects to spend a couple of weeks 3n the city hospital, and while there undergoan operation on his eyes. He has been suffering from a cataract on the eye, which has seriously impaired -the sight, and he is in hopes that the operation will be successful in restor- ing his sight. THE FRUIT BusINEss.—So large is the fruit business just now that a special express car is attached to the London, Huron and Bruce trains daily "to accommodate the immense ship- ments of plums being made from points along the line to London and other pla.ces. One morning recently so many baskets of plums were wait- ing at this station for shipment to To- ronto that the express car could not hold them, and they had to be for- warded north to Wingham and then on to Toronto. AOCIDENT.- On Monday afternoon Mr J. Butchart, of the 2nd con. of Stanley, met with an accident in town, which may yet prove serious. He had been getting some work done at Ted - ford's shop and had just got into his rig, when the horse got frightened and started before he could pick up the lines. He was thrown out and fractur- ed two or three ribs. The horse ran down the sidewalk on Rattenbury St. and then cut on to Huron St., where it was stopped, after breaking the buggy somewhat. BOARD OF EBAMINERS•—The county board of examiners met het e on Satur- day, and allotted the Modelites, abut 20 each to the t.linton and Goderich schools. Mr Halls, a member of the board, was the subject of considerable banter, .because his nose was some- what disfigured. It seems that the night before he had been in St. Thomas and was crossing the railroad tracks with a parcel in each hand, when he tripped and fellheavily across a rail, hurting himself severely. I.O.G.T.—The regular meeting of the LO.G.T. was held on Friday even- ing last, when the following officers were installed by L.D., G. W. Rogers: —J. W. Moore; O.T.; L. Miller, V.T.; J.

The lodge is booming, initia- tions every meeting night. NEARLY H.rtrun — "Billy" Morrison, of Hallett, met with an accident that would likely have cost him his life, had it not been for the timely assistance of a party who happened along just as the accident occur- red the other evening. Morrison vias driv- ing homeward along the Huron road, in a covered buggy, when the horse ran into the ditch and threw him out, falling heavily on top of him. A party from town wae driv- ing by and went to his assistance. In gett- ing the horse on its feet it was so tangled in the harness that it fell back on Morrison a second time, and it became necessary to out the lines before the horse could be got up and Morrison released froth his position, apparently- not a great deal worse for the accident. The baggy was wreoked. DEATHS.—Jas. W. Boyd, of Seafortb, died at his father's residence on Mon- day, in his 27th year; be was formerly in the baking business here, but left some time ago. It is said he recently lost his reason and has been in declin- ing health ever since; he was un- married. Word was received here last week of the accidental death of Neil Matheson, jr„ youngest son of Rev. A. Matheson, which occurred in the western States. No.particulars were given further than that death was due to accident, and that hie father Was with him before he died. He' was a native of this town, about 26 years of age,and was a ne- phew of Mrs Matheson, Batten bury St. One of the very earliest pioneers of this section passed away on Friday last, in the person of Mrs Thwaites, relict of the late Richard Thwaites, who of late years has made her home with her neves, Mrs Worthington. A few of the old residents will remember Mr Thwaites as the keeper of a store and post office on the Huron road two miles west, about theear 18f6, and subsequently as a resident of town. Mrs Thwaites was a daughter of the late Colonel VanEgmond, and was born at the time of the battle of Wat- erloo, her father being absent in the 9ngaggement at the time. Colonel 'VanEgmond secured the contract of building the Huron road when the county was first "surveyed, and was consequently one of its pioneers. Mrs Thwaites wail married in 1842, and has been a widow since 1873; she had no family. She Wes a woman of more than ordinary intelliggence, and al- though closely identified ,;With the Episcopal ehtirch all her life, was broad and liberal in her church views. She en jnye`d good health almost all her life,1sufffering eleven years.o from in larconation of the lungs, Only one Slater, Mrs Ltabt, • G�}owetilook, of Mee, Eillo���ppr, and her brdthera sllrvi,'e her.

Passenger traffic is pretty heavy now, it large number going to Toronto yesterday,' The need of an el- ectric light on the platform is realized every night by those who go to meet friends at the late train. HAPPILY WEDDED — After the wedding march had been played, and while standing under a beautiful horeeehoe of white asters, in the parlor of her father, on Wednesday, Miss Challis Cooper, eldest daughter of Mr W. Cooper, became the wife of Mr John 8. Armetrong, of Ontario, Cal. Mies Sarah Acheson, Goderioh township, and Mr A. T. Cooper, brother of the bride, were brides- maid and groomsman, while Rev. R. Mill - yard performed the ceremony, Both the bride and bridesmaid were dressed in Dream hourietta, with boquets of tea roses, and looked as charming as all do under these oiroumstanoes. Mise Cooper has always been a favorite in social and church circles, being long a member of Rattenbury Street choir, and also one of the most faithful teachers in the Sabbath School, these or- ganizations showing their appreoiation of her labors and genial qualities by the pre- sentation of a beautiful marble olock; she was also the recipient of a large number of costly gifts ae expressions of good will. Mr Armstrong is an old Clintonian, though a resident of California for metal years, where he went in search of health, which he evidently found, and now he returns with a partner to share all the happiness and pros- perity which that salubrious climate can impart. They left for Toronto on their wedding tour, amid the usual showers of rine, and will return to town on Saturday, leaving for their home in the west Monday. NOTES.—Mrs McGuire, mother of J.
