HOUSE IMPROVEMENT. — Mr J. P.
Tisdall is adding to the internal ap-
pearance of his house by having what
,are known as "inlaid oak" flours put
in the lower story. The material is
laid in squares of about a foot, witty a
highly finished and waxed surface, and
inlaid border around the outer edge,
giving the floor a beautiful appear-
ance. Mr G D. McTaggart is also
having a similar floor put in his house..
IT WAS QUICK WORK.—Mr Phillips,
chief of the Blyth Fire Department,
was reading in the NEw ERA last week
of the quickness with which the fire -
amen got up steam in the engine -3e
minutes, when he remarked "that is
mighty good work; it's better than we
scan do; the best we've ever done in
$•Lyth is about 7e minutes, but nine
minutes is about an average. It is
only fain to the Blyth fireman to say
that the water in the Clinton engine
6s always kept hot."
OUT OF THEIR WAY.—On Saturday
a couple of French-Canadians, who
spoke English with difficulty, appear-
ed at the railway station here, enquir-
ing the nearest way to Verner, Nip -
pissing "district. They had bought
their tickets at a Quebec ` village, for
Clinton, under the impressi ea that it
was the nearest point to their destina-
tion, confusing Varna, with Verner,
and thus being a couple of hundred
miles out of their way. They remain-
ed here over Sunday, and went back
art Toronto Monday on their way to
the destination.
OFFICIAL VISIT.—Last Friday night
D.D.G.M. Bro. Jas. Tierney paid flus
official visit to Clinton Lodge No. 84,
A.F. and A.M., and expressed himself
• as highly pleased with the work of
Clinton Ledger Visiting brethren
were also present, from Clinton and
Blyth. The visitors were entertained
by the brethren of Clinton lodge, after
the exercises were over. Mr Tierney
evidently understands his duties, and
the brethren have nothing but compli-
mentary words for hirn.
IN POOR HEALTH.—Dan. B:'Calhick,
formerly of Clinton, but more recently
'of Woodstock, has been compelled to
e'eling wish his position owing to ill
health andis now trying to see what
a rest. hem active employment will do
for him. His aillnent is dyspepsia of
the stomach, and the very hest doctors
have been unable to afford hien much
relief. His wife is at piesent at the
home of her father, R. Acheson, 13th
con., Goderich township, and Dan's
'many friends in this vicininy hope
that the rest may be the mans of re-
storing him to complete health.
IMPORTING INBOND.—It may be of
•:•interest to possible importers to re -
•member that all nursery stock from
,United States, Australia, Japan and
Hawaii Islandsis prohibited from com-
ing. into Canada. The prohibition ex-
tends to roses, but not to ordinary
greenhouse plants or herbaceouspel•en-
nials. Prohibited goods will be des-
troyed. Importers of any goods destin-
ed for Bayfield, by express, and who
re er makingpersonal entry, instead

elretsed to Clinton.
