T.—The debate last Friday evening was a grand success. Resolv- ed, that intempearnce is productive of mote misery than war, was decided in favor of the affirmative. Mr Lou Farnham and Miss M. Schoales, of Kinburn lodge, and A. J. Cooper acted as judges, and Wes. Moore, as time- keeper. Program this (Friday) even• ing will be rendered by the single sis- ters. There should be a good turn out of the members, as a good time is ex- pected. FREAKS OF NAT,uaE.—A few days since while Mr James Seale was travel - in the country became across a farmer who had in a cage what seems a para- doix—two white black -birds; the farm- er had secured them from a neat, and there could be no question about them belonging to the black -bird species. The other day a boy named Woods, living near Bayfield, shot another freak of nature in the shape of a white black squirrel, and is having it moun- ted ire town. THE FALL FAIR.—We trust our read- ers are not forgetting the Clinton Fall Fair, which takes place on the 29th and 30th inst. The officers of the So- ciety have made very complete and ex- tensive preparations for the show, and the enterprise of the society should be ,rewarded by a good attendance. It .should be borne in mind that the prin- ,cipal object these shows are meant to serve, is to encourage the raising of ,better stock or better farm produce, -therefore if you have a good animal or .a flee 'sample of roots or grain, or fruit, or vegetables, bring them out that they rriay be compared with othe r spec imens. You may not get a prize, but your interest in the exhibitions will be increased, and you will learn something by the comparison of your exhibit with others. That is what the exhibi- tions are for—to exchange ideas and gain information, Entries are corning 'lin to the Secretary, Mr W. Coats, very fast.

STATION NOTES.—The Grand Trunk authorities should pi Ovide better facili• ties for lighting up .the platform; a great many people were down at the late trains last week, and with the light provided it was almost impossible to recognize friends. Of course the G. T. R. may say they are not called upon to provide light, but it would assuredly be a great accommodation to the pub- lic. Very heavy consignments of freight are moving, chiefly fruit and cattle. Nearly all the trains were "off time" last week, owing to the fair at London. About 201 tickets were sold for London last week. Conductor Parker expects to be able to resume his run on the L.. H. & B. in a few days. S. Smith shipped a car of cattle on Saturday, and J.

Just as the train was going up Holmesville grade, (Craig urgently asked to be taken o the rear Of the train, which was done, Goody keeping,. as he thought, a firm hold on the prisoner, and Just as they turned tore -en ter t he car, (7raig sprang over the railing, alighting fairly on hie feet, and made a break for liberty; the irisoner managed to get into Stanley's Orchard, before Gundy, who also jump ed ' rom the train, could; get near him, It being dusk he gkkly lost sight - of°, and mato Oo i esckpe, notw th- etaading #t, vigilant search made for LlStti i'zlt,-0ti..
