The animal was attached to a two-wheel'd road cart. Opposite the market it was frightened by a bicycle rider and its heels many times ascended heaven- ward. Mr. Connell was of course aware of the fact and dodged until the hoofs grazed either side :of his head. Finally he turned a hack somersault and firmly held on to the ribbons. The " pull" brought hint to his feet, and he had little difficulty in bringing the colt to a standstill. He is so ex pert that he will doubtless succeed in making the stubborn colt a useful and quiet animal. PLUMS WANTED — Highest price paid. — f:ANTELON BROS. Servant Wanted.

EXCITEMENT AT SEAFORTH. — The Expositor says of the bicycle races there, in which Mr. Manville, of Clin- ton took part :—" In the five mile race between Manville and Livingston the excitement ran high. It was a race from start to finish, and as they carne down the stretch it looked as though it might he a tie, and everybody stood up and yelled, but Manville passed over the tape about a foot in the lead. Such a ffnish to a race is rarely seen, and the crowd showed the appreciation of the efforts of the riders by their hearty applause." FLASH of FIRE.—On Saturday even- ing the fire alarm sounde d about nine o'clock, a threatened conflagration being in progress in the boiler room of the electric light station. The fire company ' promptly responded, but 'their services were not required. The accumulated dust inside the suloke stack had taken fire and the intense heat set the roof on fire. The blaze covered probably sixteen feet when Marsh Morrish dashed a pale of water on the proper spot and the fire was put Never was tbete o, truer wo,d spoken.

THE LACROSSE MATCH.- Seaforth Expositor:—The Lacrosse watch on the recreation grounds on Tuesday evening between Clinton and Seaforth cannot be said to have been exciting, it was too one-sided for that. At no stage of the game did the Clinton players exhibit any .great skill and the ball was armost continuously on their goal. They came with only eleven players and consequently each team played with only eleven men. Al- though the Clinton defence endeavored to prevent a big score, our boys scored the first four goals. By loose playing on the part of the Seaforth defence the Clinton boys saved themselves from being whitewashed. Seaforth shortly after this scored another goal and when the time was called the score re- mained at this, five to one in favor of the home team. The Beavers' next match will be with Mitchell in that town. Should our boys win this match, as they undoubtedly will, they will be the champions of the district. out. Litt a or no dammage.

CAn- LING.--The people of Clinton were greatly surprised last Thursday even- ing to learn of the death of Thos. M. Carling. On the Friday evening previous he was taken ill, but no ser- ious results were so soon anticipated. For several years he had not been in the hest of health, although apparent- ly robust. At the examination , after death by I)rs. Freeborn and Gunn it was found that the fatal results were caused from gangrene of the upper bowel owing to acute inflammation. They discovered a small tumor in the end of the stomach which would in time have produced fatal results ; this douTheht les funeralihsed the s a took placeonSaturd y under the auspices of the Orange Order, of which deceased was a mem- her, and was largely attended. The floral tributes were num- erous and beautiful. Among those from a distance were Mr. Mc- Farlane and Mrs. Frazer from Grey ; Mrs. and three Miss McEwans and Mr. ,and Mrs. Stewart from Hensall ; Thos. Carling, Thos. Acheson, Isaac Carling, Mr. E. and Mrs. Christie, Mr. E. and Mrs. Howard, Mr. J. and Mrs. Hawk- shaw, Mr. and Mrs. 'Fait (his mother) of Exeter ; and David Tait of Detroit. At the house and grave the beautiful service of the Presbyterian Church v, as conducted by Rev. Mr. Stewart, while the solemn service of the Orange Order was rendered at the grave by P. C. M. Todd and Bro. W. G. Smith. The deceased was born at Exeter, this county, his age being but 41 years, 8 months and 10 days. His father, the late Wm. Carling, was a brother to Hon. John Carling, London. For 20 years the deceased had lived in Clin- ton and vicinity, and for many years was one of the most popular and trust- worthy valuators and auctioneers in the county. He was well and favor- ably known throughout Huron. He leaves a bereaved widow and five small children—four daughters and one son—who will receive $1,000 in- surance from the Orange Order. In paying his last assessment the day he took ill the deceased hesitated, but on the advice of the writer consented to do so and thus secured to the widow and orphans a small portion of this world's goods. T. M. Carling had a generous and noble heart.
