At et Ingham there are a large number of small balances un- claimed, hut there are also some con- siderable sums, for instance $600 by Samuel Uuulter, St. Helens; $`200 by Ferguson, Gorrie; $100 by John es from Marten, Wingham; $182 by Mrs S.

To show bow little ground there is for the charge that •politics are responsible for the present state of affairs" we may say that there were more Conservatives than Liberals at the meeting which de- cided to leave the polling divisions as they are, and Mr Doherty, Secretary of the Conservative Association, was the seconder of the resolutiop, The impli:;ation of the News -Record that a "local Grit" is responsible for the ex- isting state of affairs, in order to help himself at a corning convention, Is untrue, as the individual has done no- thiug whatever, directly or indirectly, towards the present method.

UDDEN DEPARTURE — It has been misfortune of a certain married man in town to be for some time a ,jest, of mental aberration, and she not only been the cause of great iety to her relations, but the source much annoyance to the community. en patience with her eccentricities sed to be a virtue, and people had rated her just as long as lt was pos-. e to do so, her husband consented ave her committed to the Asyl arrangements were made ac custom department, remind- al ing appraisers and collectors that medi- cinal preparations, wine in bottles,chew- w in gum, perfume, and cosmetics, are subject to a war revenue tax when pur- co chased in the United States, and that in the tax must be considered pat t of the of value ue of bit • c,h goods when shipped to fin Canada. th RESULTS OF SPECULATION,—N°Hong at ago there existed in town what was Cl politely termed a "Produce Exchange" z;t' but in reality was a "Bucket Shop," A t ° certain man of some means, who see thought he could beat the dealer on fro his own game, speculated on margins, cro expecting to make a good Ruin out of S his ink •est ment.

Wb the Board of Trustees of Clinton Colle- giate was held on Thursday evening. cea The estimates for next year, $I400, to were submitted and approved; they are sthl $100 less than last year.

But modern methods have overcome the necessity for damping the paper, 'arid for a considerable time the Now 1 ERA has been printed dry every week, -which in partaccounts for the clear- ness and distinctness of its agpear- anre. We notice that the Seaforth T:" Expositor has also adopted this riys- • tem, and was printed dry last week, we believe, for the first time. It is on- ly a little mechanical detail, but it is an improvement all the same. DUE To THE CLIMATE. — The Al- huqurque, New Mexico, Democrat, of July 16, says:—"Judging by the rap- turous expression which illuminated the face of Rev. Rohl. M. Craig, Pres- byterian superintendent of missions for New Mexico anggd Arizona, several of his at he had fallen heir t to nds imagined a fortune,h and so he would tell you he had, but to a for- tune not of silver or gold, but of the more precious dower, flesh and blood and spirit. A. beautiful little baby girl arrived at the home at 524 West Gold avenue, yesterday morning, and no Wonder that the parents' hearts are all sunshine." [Tilts is the first arrival of this nature in Mr Craig's family, al- though he has been married 15 years, The climate must be responsible for it.] Cot1NOIL MEETING. — On Saturday the mayor was presented with a pett- ._tion addressed to the council, asking that work on the Stavely building be delayed until . the Legislature met on Aug. 3rd, n order to find out if the 'governmen would give its consent to the use o the money for waterworks limit ' of a Memorial hall, the town to grant abflicient in addition thereto, to put in a waterworks system for fire purposes. A special meeting of the council was therefore called for Mon- 4a3t'evening, to consider the petition and transact any other business. At t a +,, sting the express conditions on w i .`'tlw money was granted to the ;taw' ; • re considered, it was also ohos'that before adopting any plan of eaten the matter had been fully eot#siclered by a large committee of citizene'who could at'riee at rio other decision than the one finally settled Upon for the expenditure of a portion of. the money. The mayor asked the ' efOritiell to give due weight to the peti- tion,'and if it was thought possible to > eclure the Government's consent to y- change, to take steps whereby this onsenitcopld be secured. However, On motion, the council declined to take any action it the line indicated by the �titionr. .'1' i The matter of reduc- ing the number of polling places used for legislative elections also came up for cOnaidoration; it was shown that the teiwb would regnire six at any rate, /Which would tlacessitae the re -arrange - Meta Of: the. wards, and as no actual VIEW to the town would be secured re t.fifa,ohanq'e, the council decided to' cave the 'Palling places as they are for epro8ent . • and ingly, the neighbors kindly assisti providing for her comfort while a She was to have been taken doe Wednesday morning, by MrWheatley, who was considerate enough for her feelings riot to lock her up for security, but when he went for her to go to the train on Wednesday morning, he was more than surprised to find that both husband and wife had departed during the night for parts unknown., The wo- man returned to town yesterday, was taken in charge and sent down, RAILWAY NoTEs.—A 12 -car excur- sion from Palmerston to Goderich, passed through on Fr iday; the train was met at the diamond by a special enrich.

AN EXPANDING BUSINESS, — Last week we incidentally made mention of the act that Cantelon Broshand- ling consderable fruit, had were up an extensive business in this partic- tiler line. The produce export business that has been developed by this ener- getic and enterprising firm is much greater than the average individual has any idea of. During the present fruit season—which has only fairly commenced -- they have shipped an average of 150 baskets of cherries daily, and as soon as other fruits come in will make equally as extensive shipments. They do not confine their export trade to fruit alone, but handle other produce as well, such as butter, eggs, poultry, &c., and have established a reputation for reliability and fairness that has given therm an enviable commercial standing. In the busy season they give tre ment to a number of hands, "a and amount of money put into circulation must be considerable. A short time ago there was compara- tively lines, but lsince e pthisnfirm has energedone in ti- cally i. cally and systematically taken hold of it, they have succeeded in building up a trade that seems capable of unlimited development. ho bas been hoarding at las 5 g for a considerable trine, has taken rip his abode with his cousin, Mi -s Hill.— Hodgens Bros. and Jackson Bros.,hoth of whom had midsummer bargain days on Saturday, report very satisfactory trade for that day.

Hugh Ross expects to move to his new residence on Isaac street in the course of a few days; the house is not exactly new, but has been so thor- oughly overhauled by Mr Stevens, builder, that it is practically a new house, and will, no doubt, be found a comfortable and commodious residence.

The reason why we could not satisfy these esteemed demands is that we cater to economical people—people who have little money to spend and want value for what they do expend. Worthy goods cannot be supplied at the prices offered in these oases, and we believe valueless goods—trash—is not cheap at any prioe. Quality ie as important a feature as cheapness. It's a plan we believe in, and one our customers approve of most. It applies to every department of our store. Goods that are aim 1 "cheap" are not profitable.

A New Line For some time past we " have had enquiries for Boys' Odd Coats but up to the present time we have been unable to make them on account of a rush in the workshop. We are now putting through a line which we think will meet with the approval of all buyers of Boys' Clothing. They are made from the same goods as our Boys' Knee Pants, and when bought together you have a splendid suit for very little money. If you just want the odd coat you can buy it at the low price of $1.25 for the small sizes and $1.50 for the larger ones. We are safe in saying that no house in the county can approach us for Boys' Clothing. Being manufacturers, we save you the middleman's profit and also show you an assortment that no other house can afford to carry. JACJ{SON ERO Our lisle of • • mc.
