.Ohillia Boys' Infirmary, and this week
.31r'Cottle received a letter from the

'Pas ill and unable to attend to his

ibe'boy was seriously ill, as the letter
did' not so indicate, and ,was shocked
On,Tuesday to receive word of his
death. Mr Cottle left at once for Orillia
sabring the body home for interment.

nded for.
'1,A.• CLOSE CALL.—The North Bay
Climes thus alludes to a well-known
;d'or'mer resident of this town:—"Mrs
C.Detlor had a narrow escape on
•iIonday, from what might have been
4titantdeath. Some men were engag-
in erecting a scaffold in front of the
';p(�ostoffice block, and a workman at-
tempted to throw a small board to the
round, but it struck the telegraph
•!!lPifee and came back and fell on the
.nidewalk, and at the same time struck
.!ilJrs Detlor, who happened to be pose-
s -Pig. If it had fallen directly on her
the result might have been serious.
TRIFLE&.—There was
quite a small
stiksrw shower on Friday. Lives of
,**eat men all remind us that to win
FLithe golden prize, we must hustle, keep
our eyes skinned, buy the best—and
advertise. Don't wait for the corpora-
tion cleaners to reach your place; get
'to wvork with your rake and hoe in
,.(front of your residence at your first
convenience. In different parts of
Aire town may be seen broken-down
' tossingover culverts; these should be
*pairefor the looks of the thing, to
'Sway nothing about convenience.

Ours CHICKEN NOTES.—We have
to condense our "Chicken Fancier's"
report this week, (owing to our crowd-
ed columns) as follows:—Lack Kenne-
dyshipppped gge to. ttf�11.-and Ber--
iiWalter Coats tilled orders for
parties in New York State, Lucknow,
Ingersoll and Saleford; and Lorne
Todd sent out a number. Quite a
number of settings are to hand, but
we have not heard of results.
MAKE IT A JIIBILEE.—We think it
would be well to decide on a celebra-
tion in Clinton this year for one of the
three festal °days—May 24, June 22 or
July let; one preference would be for a
big jubilee celebration on June 22nd;
we ave communications from several
parties on the matter, who favor this
date, and then let other towns, who
wish to observe either of the other
days, do so without friction.
CONCERT. -Arrangements are being
made to give a benefit 'koncert about
Thursday next, for the purpose of,rais-
ing funds to purchase scenery for, and
otherwise decorate the stage of the
town hall. As this is a very worthy
object, and much needed, the concert
should be well patronized, and at the
small admission fee of 10c, the hall
should be packed. The intention is to
give a first class concert at a nominal
admission, for the sole purpose of,pur-
chasing scenery.
NOTES.—Mrs E. Bingham, Goderich,
was -the guest of Mrs T. Cottle for a
few days last week. Mrs Butt has
