ON FIRE, -A small house near the • Catholic church, owned by Mr Henry Smith, caught fire on Friday, from a defective chimney, but it was discov- ered and put out before it had made Bouch headway. ACCIDENT. - On Tuesday Mr W. Baer, who is employed at the Foundry got his hand caught in a shaper, which smashed a couple of fingers, probably necessitating their amputation. It • will lay him up for some time. IMPROVING. -Mrs Butt, who met -with a serious accident last week, is improving as well as on be expected. She hurt , her 'wrist in falling, but -whether it is broken or not the doctor bas not yet been able to determine, as it is very much swollen. Her son,Rev. W. H. Butt, of Centralia, was up to .see her on Friday. • LIBERAL CONVENTION. -The Execu- tive of the West Riding Liberal Asso- ciation met at Goderich on Saturday last, when it was decided to call a con- vention at Dungannon, on May 21st, for important business.

On Saturday, April 3rd, he will o1 el? at the Rattenbury House, -lot 28, 611r " con., Goderich township, 80 acres. Both are good properties and should find ready purchasers. ' A LITTLE GAY. -On Monday nigl a lot of Wingham youths went to Gode- rich to engage in a skating,gontest, said to be for a purse of 825. They swept everything before them, and their success made some of them lose their heads. They stopped in Clinton on their way home, and were feeling a little gay, manifesting somewhat more ebullition than is called for. AN EXPORTER. -Mr W. Cudmore, of Kippen, the well known hay exporter, was in town on Monday. He bas just completed a contract for nearly 900 tons of hay, for the English market, shipped since Dec. 15th; 6000 bushels of oats, and a quantity of hay for local points. He is also shipping apples. His eldest son has been for some time in the old country, looking after the business there. THE STAVELY ESTATE. -The Stave- ly Committee recently submitted to the Government for its approval the proposition to erect a Stavely Memor- ial Building and Libi ary. A letter re- ceived frpm Mr Garrow last week, -says:-"I am pleased to say that the request re Stavely has been complied with. Mr Ross says he is dehg hted at your sensible choice of a good $5,000 library building and a $5,000 endow- ment. DISLOCATED. -On Monday morning James Walker, bus driver for the Ho- tel Clarendon, dislocated his right arm at the shoulder in a very simple man- ner. While at the station waiting for a train, several persons were trying to hold a commercial traveller's grip at arm's length. When "Roxy" under- took it, he gave his arm a sudden wrench, with the above result. The dislocation was so severe that it re- quired the services of two medical men to replace It,. and even then he had to be put under an aesthetic. , ' THE OINEMATOGRAPHE:-e75 persons haid to secure admission to the town all•on Monday night, and as they all - occupied space on the one floor, the crowding was somewhat unpleasant. However, all enjoyed the entertain- ment, and many were the expressions of wonder at the marvellous nature of the invention. The delay between views was seemingly longer than nec- essary, and many did not like the trembling motion of the views, but this is unavoidable, and is caused b'y the rapidity with which the pictures revolve, as they are thrown on the screen. PRISON STATISTICS. -In 1895 there were 73 pprisoners confined at various times in (xoderich jail; in 1896 there were.74; of these 6 were under 16 years •of age; 38 were sent up for the first time, 20 for the second, and 8 for the 2rd. 42 of the prisoners were sentenced dur'it2g their incarceration. Out of the 42 jails in the Province, Huron stands twelftlailbwest in the total number of committments. ^ The daily average• cost of the rations for prisoners was 9 cents. 22 was the highest number in jail at'any one time, and 1 the lowest. The average costper year per prisoner, for jail• maintenance, which includes salitries, repairs, etc., was $30.04„ or thh average daily cost was $19.39. , FIRE PisoTEoriow.--The attendance of badness men last Friday evening, at the meeting called by the Mayor, to considet the demands of the Under- writers' Association, was not as large- ly attended as ft might have been. However, after considering the midi- ' tione'to the fire appliances asked for, the matter was referrer) to the follow- ing committee, to correspond at once 'with the Association, and also to make `what recommendations were deemed besteTown Cou cit: -Me srs to the to Ferran, Visdall, Fair, Macpherson, • 'Searle, Swallow, W. N. Monolog, and the Chief of the .p'ire Brigade, Mr Man- ning to act As Secretary. t�. rr • r 1 WEDDING - A very pretty, and quiet home wedding took place at the resi- dence of Mr R. R. Walker on Wednes- day, at 12 o'clock, noon, when his eldest daughter, Eugenie E. was•united in manW ia a to i11 L. Wade, of West- port, South Dakota. The bride,,was becomingly attired, and carried a handsome bouquet of roses, being at- tended by her sister Nellie, of Detroit. Mr J. M. Ford, of Mitchell, acted as best man. The house was tastily dec• orated with smilax, myrtle and potted plants. Only the immediate relations of the contracting parties were pre- sent. The' happy couple left at once for Dakota. I.U.G,T.-Two loads of Good Temp- lars drove out to Porter's Hill, on Tuesday evening, and spent a most en- joyable time with the I.O.G,T. there. The Clinton Templare furnished .the program, which consisted of mouth organ and Jew's harp solos by Mr F.C. Cook; flute solo, Mr Kemp; organ solo, Miss Ida Tebbutt; duct, Misses Miller and Goodwin; duet, kisses Tebbutt and Miller; trio, Misses Miller and Goodwin and Mr Newton Crich; reci- tation,•entitled, "Many different ways of saying yes," by Miss Maud Good- win which was heartily encored. Miss Goodwin recited remarkably well, and certainly does her teacher, Mise Fisher, elocutionist, of Goderich, great credit. There were also short speeches, after which refreshments were served, and then at a temperate hour they started for home, feeling sure that they had spent a very pleasant evening indeed. ScnooL BOARD. -Regular meeting was held on Monday evening. Princi- pal Lough's report showed 288 boys and 213 girls enrolled for February,the average being 393, 14 higher than fol the same month in 1896 with I9 mor e pupils on the present roll. Mr Lough also directed attention to the breaking •of windows as follows: -"While we have a few thoughtless boys in town, I must say that the boys of Clinton, as a class, are more careful and more re- spectful of school property, and have a higher moral tone than those of most towns in Canada." The Committee on the cadet corps reported that wooden guns could be procured for 10 cents each, and that Capt. Cornbe would -drill the boy and would be assisted by Lieut. McTaggart and Col. -Ser- geant Jackson without cost. There only being a quorum present no defi- nite action was taken. HAERING BACsWAR .-Referring to the mention in this paper a few weeks ago regarding the late George Cox, the veteran printer, who was connected with the Signal for over half a century, a subscriber says that Mr Cox's life- long advocacy of, total abstinence should have been y emphasized. Mr 'Cox, when quite a young rnan,:espous- ed the cause of total abstinence. He was one of the flounders of the first Temperance society in Goderich,' if not the first society of the kind in Hu- ron, probably the Sons of Temperance. The close proximity of Goderich to the lake may account for that town al- ways being a "wet" one. It will easily be imagined that the cause was a popu- lar one. One of the old guards associ- ated with Mr Cox was the late Adam Cantelon, treasurer of Goderich town- ship, and George Acheson. who is very much alive and up to date. Later on Sheriff Gibbons was a member. Mr Whitely of town, who is somewhat familiar with Goderich history, says of the preceding that it is very likely correct. as he, Mr Whitely, ere he had arrived at his teens, joined the Cadets of Temperance through the instru- mentality of Mr Cox and for many years preserved his parchment certifi- cate of membership.

The Clinton Check- er players went to Brucefleld one night last week for a game and were defeated. Baggageman Ed.
