A Goof;` SEND OFF. -Last Friday evening some thirty of the intimate friends of Mr. P. Crewes, who has been in Mr. Biddlecombe's jewelry store for some years, tendered him a farewell supper at the Waverly House. The spread was an excellent one and after ample justice had been done the toast list was unfolded. Mr. N. McL. Fair occupied the chair and Mr. Treleaven of the Collegiate the vice. Among others several members of the Town Council were present and the remarks throughout were eulogistic of Mr. Crewes as a thorough business man and valued citizen. Songs were given by Messrs. Downs, Foster, Read, :Spal- ding and Fair. In reply to the toast of "our guest" Mr. Crewes expressed the hope that he might yet become a prominent resident of Clinton. The gathering dispersed abont 12.30. FIRST OF JULY CONCERT. -Prepara- tions are being pushed on with energy. Some of the scenery is already com- pleted and has been adjusted in the ball under the electric lights. The et- fect was entirely satisfactory, produc- ing a beautiful representation of a woodland scene, which will form an effective background, throwing out. most vividly the bright costumes and picturesque groupings of the chorus singers. It has been asked what is the special object of this concert? That is easily answered. It was planned simply to give steadiness and enthusi- asm to Miss McWhin:ley's class of eight boys. It is always a help in that direction to have something definite and interesting to work for. To give further instive still for persevering work, the boys were told that tvhat- ever might be made over expenses should go into their own hands to he applied to the missionary cause. In these circumstances we cordially be- speak the support of those who are in- terested either in our musical boys or in the missionary cause. ON A VreIT.-Mr. ,Harry Olucas, of St. Louis, Mo., is on a visit to his aunt, Mrs. J. Rattenbury. He was in St. llouisat the time of the great storm, when the city was turned from husi- nese to death and weeping and mourn- ing, and was an eye witness of the sweep of the storm. No picture of it can convey an idea of the terrible sweep and force of the cyclone The clouds, which banked higher and high- er above the city, were of a dull green- ish celor. When it broke thousands of people huddled in shops and public buildings, some in tears and others praying whq had almost forgotten ow to pray or bow to weep. Mr. Clueas says three storms raged over St. Louis, but' luckily at different alti- tudes, or else there would have been nothing left of the city. The same banking of green -hued clouds was oh - served over the city on Saturday af- ternoon, and thousands and thousands took to their cellars in anticipation of another visitation. He sags the tele- graphic reports are not exaggerated in tthelleast. Mr..Clucas Will also visit Iris tild home at, Goderich. He has a hrotper, William, who is alumber in Bt. Louls,luckily escaped injury also. . 1,0;1L- $eve l !fh ages utr vertIa oncee COITe8 bffODtS. from Coyle, Colborne, uhueintllle, Bel/ kve,H t Scb °Tstwn b1p,, we are. cqm •ell to ho161 over Or next week.

ADVETISING,-A hen that leaves her neat after a few days' setting because she does not hear the chirp of-Shicks is somewhat like the merchant who quits advertising after the first few "throws," because bis first calls haven't filled his store with clamoring custom- ers. SIDEWALKS. -There should be some- thing done to prevent the banana fiends -those lovers of the fruit who eat it on the street, then throw the peelings on the sidewalks. There is nothing more treacherous or more cer- tain to cause one to fall than to step on one of these peelings. BICYCLISTS. -Local bicyclists may he interested in the question which is the hest oil to use in a bicycle lamp. We find the following recipe in the last number of the Scientific 'American: -Fill a pint bottle with two-thirds of the hest lard oil and one-third of head- light oil, to which add a piece of gum camphor about the size of an egg. The camphor is supposed to cause the oil to give a very white Light, and it is said the lamp will not go out easily. CONCERT. -We would remind our readers not to forget the House of Refuge Concert on Friday evening next. By the programme just out it will he one of the largest and best .of the kind ever given in Clinton. The admission has been placed at the ridic- ulously low price of 5 and 10 cents, which will doubtless mean a big crowd. No one should miss such a treat, espec- ially as the object is such a worthy cne. FISHING PARTY. -Last Wednesday a jolly fishing party consisting of Messrs. A. J. Taylor, J. D. Hunter, J. Strachan and W. Askin, Toronto; J. F. Black, Montreal; W. W. Farran, W. Jackson, John Ransford, D. A. Forrester, J. P. Tisdall, Geo. D.

Ford preached a special sermon to the Maccabees of Kearns Tent No. 68 in Turner's Church, Tuck- ersmith. There was a Komi turnout of members, a nice delegation from Varna being present, accompanied by the Deputy Supreme Commander, Sir Kt. Maloney. The preacher took for his text the 6th chapter and 2nd verse of the Epistle to the Galatians, "Bear ye one another's burdens," &c. He hand- led the subject in a most convincing manner, declaring that all benevolent, associations were endeavoring to fulfil the law of Christ. At the conclusion the members formed a circle round the grave of the late Sir Kt. Frances Lay- ton, on which was placed a wreath of natural flowers, and joined in "Nearer My God to Thee." The rain somewhat interfered with the proceedings, but the parade proved both sussessful and ereditable. Brief Town Topics. Inspector Hopkirk, of Stratford, is in town.

"Love or Force, which wins ?" is the subject at Baptist churcu on Sunday morning. "A draught from Bethle- hem's well," is the topic for the eve- ning.

A load of Baptist friends from town went out to the Base Line on Friday night, to attend the special services being held there by Rev. Mr. Harris. They experienced a difficult tune re- turning on account of the storm. The bicycle run to Seaforth last Thursday night wits not as numerously attended as the circumstances warrant- ed. It might ben good idea to get up a number of local races, to take in some of the hest roads. Two electors at Auburn the other day made a wager that the Returning Officer was the McCerthyite candidate. The dispute of course was easy of ad- justment, but it goes to show how easy it is for some people to make mistakes.
