The lady had not been well for some time and it is now confidently hoped a permanent cure has been effected. NEW RESIDENTS. - The Kippen correspondent to the Heron Expositor says of Mr. and Mrs. Monteith who have moved to town to live :-Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Monteith, Sr., and family, with whom, for many years, it has been our privilege to enjoy their ac- quaintance, and who are ever found the best of neighbors, left on Tuesday for their future home in Clinton. The people of Clinton will find Mr. and Mrs. Monteith and farnily the best of citizens. BACK re '57. -The other day Mr. W. D. Fair found among other old papers an invitation to a farewell ball which reads :-"Sir, the pleasure of your company and lady is respectfully soli- cited to attend a farewell ball and sup- per, to be giyen by Mr. W.Rattenbury in connection with Mr. Charhoneatr's Srst assembly. at the Clinton Hotel, on 'Wednesday, the 22nd of April, 1857.

The Clinton Hotel was in 1857 where Combe's drug store now stands, and is known today as the Rattenhury House. AT LAST, CAr-rroeRD. - A few even- ings since while walking on Princess street a party came in contact with a beautiful skunk, since which time there has been increased prosperity among tailors, ding and dry -goods men. At this particular time there was no desire to tackle the animal --the attack, which was made only by the skunk, wan most successful. Detail of the skir- dish might better he imagined than escribed. The neighbors for some time had been missing chickens and eggs, for it is well known the skunk tribe live very high. Among those t- peatedly robbed in this way was our own John Smith. John used to he a good shot and when Mrs. Smith was collecting the fresh eggs Friday even- ing she discovered the thief, the bold, bad clothes spoiler. Mr. Smith loaded his gun in defence of himself, hie fam- ily and the neighbors. He was advised to take a fork as a defeneivo weapon, but it just happened Mr. Smith had been too long in this deceptive world to be caught in that way. He preferr- ed a well charged gun. With a lamp close by, and his eagle eye on the bead of the barrel a load canonade disturb- ed the whole neighborhood; then a second volley struck consternation and some wondered if No. 4 Company had been called to duty. There lay the offensive enemy ---a beautiful skunk - close by a nest of fresh eggs. And now the eggs, and chickens, and clothes of passers -bp are safe from harm; and John Smith, tjte expert shot., is the saver of hen fruit, fowl, and humanity. Aft killed the skunk thief. SAD. -Mrs. John Bailey, Hallett, who underwent a surgical operation a few days ago, passed to the great beyond last Friday warning. The lady woe formerly r Miss Musgrove of Bluevale, a model ehrititain woman, mother and wife just in the prime of life. Her decease is deeplymourned by a very large circle of fiends and acquaintances. The remains were conveyed to Bluevale, where the inter- ment took place. The sincere sympa- thy_of the whole community is extend- ed to Mr Bailey in his sad affliction. THE CRICKET CLUB DINNER. Lust Friday evening the members of the Clinton Cricket Club held their first annual dinner at the Hotel Clarendon. The occasion merited a much larger attendance. Those who were present were in no way disappointed, for seldom has a superior bill -of -fare been presented in Clinton. The various viands were served in modern courses, and all enjoyed the palatable spread. After the inner man had been thoroughly setiefied a pleasant and profitable hour was spent in social intercourse, when the gathering dispersed. DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN. -Al- though ill for nine months and confin- ed to bed three, our citizens were pained to learn of the death last Satur- day of Sarah Mason, relict of the late Charles Mason, aged 70 years. Dropsical ailment had secured such a firm hold on the lady that there was no cure. The deceased was a native of Cottingham,Eng., and came to Clinton some 43 years ago. She wasa daughter of the late John Boynton of the old land,and canoe to this country with her sisters, the only surviving members being a brother and sister in England. Mrs. Mason was twice married, her first husband being the late Wm. Wil- son, 32 years deceased, who owned and cleared the present farm residence of Robert Coats, Bayfield Road. The only child and survivor is Charles Wilson, of the firm of Couch & Wilson, but- chers. Some 20 years since Mrs. Wil- son married the late Charles Maso n who pre -deceased her. Mrs. Mason was in every sense of the term a noble woman, always a comforter in death, sickness and affliction, in sorrow and joy; for years it faithful member of the Ontario Street Methodist Church, and popular with all who knew her. Al- though a good age her death is regrett- ed. The funeral to Clinton cemetery on Monday was largely attended. "To MUCH POLITICS."-Tbe quota- tion 18 that which appears on a lapel button used in the present presidential campaign in the United States, under which is written, "Free Silver," pinned to a good-sized stocking purse with secure rile clasp at the top. On the centre of button, labeled "Too Much Politics," is the figure of a coffin and corpse, which we presume represents presidential candidate Bryan and free silver after the election ; that is, the free trade t;rriff reform agitation will be dead. The shapely stocking is so large that it would, in the event of 13ryon's succus, be required to hold the numerous free fifty cent dollars under his rule. Along with these THE NEWS -RECORD received a handsome cased briar pipe, warranted germine, which the editor will enjoy at' ease while our Southern neighbors fight to a finish "too much politics" and the vexed free silver question. The stock- ing, lapel, and smoker are from Mr. J. W. Rites, formerly of Clinton, and were brought from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., by Mrs. James Miller, town, who returned from a pleasant visit to Mr. and Mrs. Riter last Thursday, Messers. Riter & Miller are in partner- ship and met with a severe loss from fire recently, but we learn they will soon again he in their own premises. Their friends will be pleased to learn of their prosperity. CLINTON AS A SPORTING Tows. --No town of importance can well afford to be without the various manly sporting organizations. Whether lacrosse, football, baseball, tennis or cricket, nothing will do more to advertise it town or keep it prominent before the outside world than local sporting clubs. By this we mean a proper or- ganization -any organization that is placed on a sound basis imbued with a determination to succeed in winning a reputation for superiority. Seaforth R.9 a town owes much of its a dvertieince and reputation to the lacrosse and football clubs of that town, and the people there are not lax in appreciating and hacking up these nianly sports. Goderich is noted for its superior Kase hall club and that, town through the well directed a fforts of the people and and organization is also kept promin- ent before the outside world. AR to Clinton, we must confess a united effort should he made to concentrate our sporting material. There is lots of it to make any one organization a brilliant success. To our mind there is a golden opportunity to make cricket TIDE feature for next year. This would not conflict, seriously with the sports in the neighboring towns. The inernher•s of the club here have gene to ronsiderahle expense in laying an excellent. crease, and this will likely be enlarged to three tinges the size next, year. Late during the past season Mr. Terry, three tunes chosen cept.ain of the international Team, and who once made over a cen- tury against the whole United States, was Refuted to bring out the good qualities of old players and to eoach new ones. 1t has been in consequence demonstrated beyond doubt that Clin- ton has the material and to spare to form re cricket club which could cross willows with all clubs throughout the hemisphere. This may appear to Rome to be a bold statement, but it is true. Members of the present Club have time and again been selected to take part in Provincial, Dominion and National contests, and we see no rea- son why a successful effort should not he made to form a Cricket Club that would win broad laurels and give Clinton the free advertisingits abusiness centre we justly deserve. Sporting - manly sport -should be brought to a proper basis in Clinton. Until this is done the various organizations will meet with reverses and injure rather than help the town. In the meantime the columns of THE NEws-RtacoRD will he wide open to all who desire to discuss all manly sports connected with Clinton. Don't be afraid to write or even oppose the above views. The good of the town is our object. I s edmoval�G6Good bye to Victoria Block." Jason'sSale. - ......»........................ � Removal Sale. OUR LAST WEEK I SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, our ]ast clay.
