George Swan, a Kincardine business man, shot himself at the residence of Harry Hunt, his brother-in-law, in To- ronto, about 2 o'clock Saturday after- noon. For some time past Mr. Swan has been suffering from nervous depres- sion, and about six weeks ago he came to Toronto to visit his brother-in-law. Mr. Swan was very nervous in his actions, and appeared to he laboring under some inward excitement. After luncheon he walked up and down the hallways of the house. His wife spoke to him and he asked to he left alone. He entered the hath -room and a moment after the report of the shot was heard. He was found lying on the floor with a small red scar on the frontal bone. from which blood was issuing.

Hunt, of Exeter, has been a sufferer from that dread disease cancer, and for weeks has lingered on the borderland between life and death, growing weaker day by day until Saturday evening, when she passed quietly away. The deceased was well known and deeply respected. Her many trials she bore with a and Chris- tian fortitude, and happyfaith confidence in the Supreme Will, and was not only ready but anxious for the call that would relieve her of pain and suffering.

Griffin was largely at- tended. —+- - What Shall it Be ? Now that $10,000 of the Stavely estate money is to go to Clinton for some public or charitable institution opinions are freely expressed. There is apparently a diversified feeling as to what the money might best be applied to. Among the suggestions the follow- ing may be mentioned :- Enlarging the agricultural buildings and grounds and establishing a public park. A puplic library, gymansinm, and hath rooms. An opera house, including public reading room, &c. An hospital for patients limited to the county of Huron. For the rebuilding of the present town hall and the purchase of a town clock. Some would like to have a system of waterworks inaugurated. The Committee have not yet come together to discuss the matter, but will doubtless do so soon. In the meantime the columns of THE Ns wR- REcORn will he open to every citi- zen to make suggestions in order to assist in arriving at a conclusion. Clinton Yonne People's Local Enion. C. O.

PRACTICAL JOKE. -On Saturday morning quite a nice trick was played on our village beak by one of our juveniles who had fixed himself up for the occasion. It appears that out Chief received a bogus information, supposed to he from a neighboring town, to look out for the juvenile, as he was wanted for stealing an over- cast. Of course before the beak had conte across him he had been in several stores and picked out different articles for the purpose of purchasing after his better half had been to see them. He had also made arrangement with one of our citizens to wake up a large quantity of window sash, as he was, about building a handsome residence. Is was not long before the keen eye of our Chief spotted hire and took after the alleged thief, arresting him near the the hall, frotn whence he trotted hire to the cooler. Here he made hire open up his satchels for examination, after which he gave hint one of the parlors to repose in ; hut, lo and lie - hold you, when about turning the keys on him the would -he culpirt said, "I say, Jirn, you ain't going to lock sue in here; let me go down the street with you." Then our Chief recognized the voice of Matt and realised that there had heen a joke played on him. A1 - though our Chief was pretty wrathy at the time, we believe that he has en- joyed the fun since as well ars the rest of the boys. Goderich Township.
