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.

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.

to make the outing an annual affair.
BICYCLE ROAD RACES, -The Clinton
Bicycle Club held a sleeting Monday
night in the office room in the corner
of the market building and decided to
have a series of road races. There will
he five in number, and run over a dis-
tance of about eight miles, so arrang-
ed that the riders will have to ride
through the town twice tri doubly
completing the circuit. Two medals
are to be given; one for the rider who
wins the greatest number of firsts; and
the other to be given to the rider who
makes the hest average time of the
whole series. The arrangements for the
races have heen left in the hands of
the following committees :- Road,
Mesars. M. McTaggart and Ogle Coop-
er; handicap, Jas. Jackson, L. Ken-
nedy and I. Rattenbury; time -keeper,
A. Porter. The first race is expected
to come off this day week, June 17th,
CRICKET. -A very interesting game

tween the married and single rnen, the

men, whose side comprised Messrs. H.
C. Brewer, Dr. Agnew, Dr. Bruce, J.
Johnston, L. Kennedy, A. Holloway,

SPECIAL SE tMos.--Last Sunday Sir
Kt. Rev. W. J. 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.
