While yet quite hot he went in to bathe, the result being that he alwas taken days n bed bef d e he gospendvethe ef- fects of his action. ILLNESS, -- A couple of weeks ago Mss Butt went over toter, Ms Robt. Mcllyeevisit c ofStane y,,ghe- lieving the change would improve her health, as she had not been feeling well for come time. We are sorry to say the change has been of no benefit, but on the contrary she is in a critical con- dition, medical examination having re- vealed the pressure of internal derange- ment, from which serious results rive feared. We hope, however, that these fears may be exaggerated. PECULIAR DIt r,OCATWWN,-111iss Zvi• son, of Kippen, who is visiting her sister. Mrs Potter, at Porters hill, .sustained a peculiar and painful dis- location of her thumb on Friday last.

LACROSSE.—The return match be- tween Clinton and Exeter .Juniors was played on the Recreation Park on Fri- day, and was witnessed by a good crowd. The home team played a good game, and were easily victorious, the score—disputed—being 2 to 1 in their favor. RUNNING RACE,—The running race, held on Goderich race cou,ree on Tues- day, between Skylark,owned by Oliver Grigg, Colborne, and Topsy B., owned by S. Beattie, Clinton, did not draw out a very large crowd, nor was it a very keenly contested race. Tbe purse was X50 a side and half the gate re- ceipts. Topsy von in two heats. NOT SUCCESSFUL,—On Tuesday E. Floody, Custom's Preventative Officer, of Toronto, happening to be in this vicinity, made a visit out cf town in search of a supposed illicit still, accom- panied by constable Wheatley. They rode a close examination of the pre- mises, but did not find the slightest evidence to support or give color to the suspicion, and stated that there was no ground, so far as they knew, for any improper surtnises. QUITE A BEND.—Scene years ago the Grecian bend abomination was fash- ionable among the ladies because a member of the royal family was afflict- ed with some spinal disease. Will it now be fashionable for males to ape the Prince of Wales' limping gait, which it is feared will be his style, ow- ing to an injury of the cap of one knee. Flesher Finch was nearly onto the racket. but is now assuming a more rational style of locomotion. DEATH OF A FORMER RESIDENT.— Gilbert B. Waddell, who at one time worked here in the carriage making business, died on Thursday least, near Toronto, from consumption. Deceased has forsome time been a school teach- er, and at the time of Lis sickness be was teaching at Don, near Toronto. and held a first class certificate. He died after three months illness', and was buried on Saturday at the family burying ground near Garden Hill. He was a brother of Rev. W. J. Waddell, of Kippen circuit. NOT TRUE.—A story is in circula- tion that the Main circus would have showed in town here in preference to Goderich, but could not come to terms with the mayor. The story has not the slightest particle of foundation. The mayor was never approached, directly or indirectly in the matter. Further, if the show wished to come here, the mayor could not have pre- vented it, even if be so desired, for the matter is in the hands of the Finance Committee. This story is simply un- true in every respect. A HAT CHASE.—If not a raw it was a gusty time about noon one day last week. A citizen's hat was blown off. After it had gone for a considerable distance another citizen started in pur- suit of it, as passing, it eluded his grasp He followed it rip, stooped down, and grasped it. When rising up his own bead gear took flight, and in his frantic attempts to catch it be ran against a third party, whose hat was also blown off. The two hats continued in a far more wobbling, but probably at as speedy a gait as guideless Tommy, un• til brought'to a standstill by Farran's fence, when each secured his headgear, and the party cf the first part had the original cause of the trouble returned tri him, GOVERNMENT INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. —St Paul, Industrial School, or as it is styled by the government, "Rupert's Land Industria( School," Rev.

A match took place on the green in this town, on Wednesday, between two visiting rinks from Goderich and two of our home rinks. The visitors were defeated, but accepted the inevitable in good part. The fact is, although our players do not always cover them- selves with glory when away from home, on their own grounds they are pretty well invincible.

Two rinks from Mitchell played here yesterday, the game being still on when We went to press. The doorkeeper was obdurate, and Mr Lucas was not admitted until he got another member to indentify him. Some of Mr Lucas' friends in the Press Gallery invited him to come up and view the chamber from that su- perior altitude. Mr Lucas climbed the stairs and presented biniself at the door of the press -room. There he was stopped by another Cerberus and again he had to call in a friend before he could gain admission. Mr Lucas has a full head of hair and is not bald.

At about 2 30 a.m. he was aroused by night watchman Herman, who startled him by the statement that a light was but ning in the cellar of the store, and when he but r .edlydressed and proceed- ed to his place of business, he found that he had forgotten the lamp when he went down earlier in the evening. On Monlay a special train consisting of an engine and four private oars passed through here containing (1 T. R. officials.
