CONCERT. --Any one of the promi- nent features arranged for by the On- tario St. church choir for their con- cert on Thursday evening next should, attract a responsive audience. Could thoughts of a real and happy evening's entertainment be more easily suggest- ed than by the announcement of the Clinton Orchestra, Madam Wall and `thefour select chortftrtirlirikshtlered by fifty voices. We hope to see it re- ceive the patronage it so richly de- serves. on the 27th. Mr Arthur Cook has SdaooL REPORT.—The following is commenced the excavation for a new house on Mill St.and has let the con- tract for same t,o S. S. Cooper ; this will be the second house that S.S. has built for Mr Cook, which certainly. speaks well for "your own Sam". Mr and Miss Dufton expect to leave town for good this week. We are sorry to hear of the death of Mrs Klophell, wife of W. H. Klophell, of Stratford, which occurred on Thursday morning; she has been a severe sufferer for some time, and was the mother of the popu- lar G.T.R. conductor, "Billy" Klophell, of Toronto. . Mrs Hamilton, ot Luc - know, -who was bete on business on Friday, was called home by a telegram announcing that her husband was dy- ing. Mr G. F. Emerson was at Han- over this week as- codefendant in a law suit. Mr H. B. Combe at one time intended to apply for permission to go the old country with the troops that are to celebrate the jubilee, but when he found that it would cost him in the neighborhood of $1,000 for outfit, en- tertainment, etc., he wisely concluded that the pleasure was too expensive. Messrs. Hunter and Grant, of the Lon- don road, expect to ship several cars of cattle to the old country next week, the former accompanying them. It is a very rare occurrence to see a woman the worse of liquor, but a woman was seen on the streets on Tuesday whose actions certainly conveyed the impres- sion that this was her condition: she was a stranger in town. The members of the Horne Circle will hold their meetings in the Oddfellows' Hall, atter the 1st of July. Mr McKenzie is re - flooring four rooms in the Public School, which re -opens on Monday.

A certain medical man has so metamorphosised his ap- aparance p ndages tthat e evenhis t of lihirsute ntimate friends hardly know him. Mr J. B. Rumball is nut again, after a protract- ed confinement to the house; his ne- phew, a son of Mrs Thos. Swartz, Gode- rich, underwent on Monday a similar operation to that sustained by Mr Rumball. Mrs Ganley has taken up her residence in Goderich. We believe it is the intention of Mrs Joseph Mills to take up housekeeping again in her house on Joseph street. Mr Wm. Cantelon purposes making consider- able improvement in the house he oc- cupies on Albert street. and also' the one occupied by Mr Sheppard. The Wingham Advance says :—"The peo- ple ot Clinton are beginning to feel the necessity of a system of waterworks for fire protection; we might just say to them that a fire engine isn't in it with a good system of waterworks. Now that the work of the session is over, we would like to see the govern - put the Stavely matter in such a shape khat work could be proceeded with at once. Mr James McOlacherty dispos- ed of over two hundred dozen of hot cross buns on Friday. Sunday was a delightful day, except for a high wind, but Monday the wind kept up and there was nothing "delightful" about the state of the weather, fur caps and heavy coats being in demand. The gale blew over the smoke stack of Fair's mill on Monday. The town Bandit; being -re-organized under the leadership of Will Holloway; it will consist of eleven or twelve members. aid these are busy at practice. A cou- ple of keys, attached to a steel ring, has been Left at this office to find the owner. Mr Jos. Wheatley took an insane patient to the London Asylum yesterday. Eggs are likely to drop a cent next week; old eggs often drop a scent. D. Cantelon is shipping hogs to -day.

R., running between Brockville and that city. He was formerly a mer- chant at Farran's Point, and was, ap- pointed to the service in December, 1873, after having removed to Brock- ville.

For years he was a member of the Collegiate Institute Board and at the time of his death was Chairman of the Public Library Board.

Guests received at 8.30 o'clock. Clin- ton Lodge, No. 83, has oiie of the. best Glee Clubs to be found in the county, and the members thereof will assist in making the At Home enjoyable. PRIVATE POST DARDS.—The Post- master 0-eneral has decided to relax the regulations on the subject of .per- - ' missable printing on the face or ad- dress side of private post cards passing between one place and another in Can- ada. No objection will therefore, in the future be made to printing, designs etc., provided ample space is left for the address, and that there be perfect- ly clear -space, free from border, left for the postage stamp. Private post cards are considered a good advertising med- ium, and those business men who are not using them, should do so now that the regulations are broadened. PROPERTY NOTES.—Mr Geo. West- cott has not sold his farm in Hullett to Mr Hog art, as announced last week, ' M 1 nge, is a ured the deed having fallen throu Gorrell has sold his cottage on St. to Mr David Fell; the ho snug little home, and Mr Fell it ata fair price.

And'it is (rite natural that they should • do so. Ot recent years our cemetery ` has been receiving more attention from the council than it had formerly, with the result that it is looking neater and much more attractive. Still there is yet much to be done, and if lot -holders would co-operate with the committee, ai< Which Mr Jacob Taylor is chairman, they will aid in making it a, tutifully sacred spot. It has claims oche sym- pathies of tlearty everybody, and work tgestowed on it is fully :Appreciated by thhose whose tenderest feelings almost a' irresistably draw them thitherward. ELECTRIC LIGIHT.—MI' Graham, of the Electric Light Co., was in town last week, and on talking With him we were led to understand that nex tfall the cbm- parly would start running in the tnorn- •'•"-mg to accommodate those who require : to use light in the morning. Thisiwouid do away with the necessity of using lamps altogether, and the Company Would naturally expect to largely in- crease the number of their patrons, as the great objection heretofore has been that on account of having no morning run people had to have their coal oil lamps in readiness. Since the Changes made in the plant last fall, the service has been good, and Mr Graham eliding that his plant is fully up to date anclsays that while he isnxious to dispose of the plant, he intends that the service shal be first class as long nh he has control of it. As far as itis passible to avoid it, Mr Graham is de- termined that the electric light patrons shall have no just grounds for corn- jilaiitt,• bein determined to make the service as efficient and effective as pos- iblo, ' ur.
