QUITE A JOURNEY.—An organ was
shipped from the Doherty Factory
this week, which undergoes quite a
journey before it finally arrives at its
destination. It is intended for a party
at Vermillion, on the Peace River; it
goes by boat and rail to Edmonton,
then takes a two -weeks trip on an open
boat, and is afterwards carted 175
miles overland. Its purchaser will ap-
preciate it after be gets it.
TEMPERANCE NOTES.—H. B. Chant
has been elected to represent the Clin-
ton Lodge at the meeting ot the Grand
Lodge in Toronto. The lodge here is
prospering and is one of the strongest
in the section, if not in this district.
The District Meeting takes place at
Londesboro on Monday; the delegates
are Mr Wes, Moore and wife; A. Powne,
D. Stevenson, Miss L. Miller- and Mise
M. Goodwin.
PERMANENT RESIDENT.—The Stan-
dard Life Assurance Co., of which Mr
D. L. Macpherson is local agent, has
a peanted as Inspector for this district
Mr Geo. F. Hobart, their late city ag•
ent in Ottawa. Former inspectors
have made their headquarters in Strat-
ford, but Mr Hobart is so well pleased
with the amount of business he has al-
ready secured here, and also with the
appearance of Clinton as a place of re-
sidence, that he will permanently lo-
cate here. Mrs Hobart will join him
in a few weeks.
SERIOUS AOCIDENT.—On Saturday
evening as Mr Arthur Couch was driy-
ing along Ontario street with his wife,
the latter met with a serious accident,
caused by the horse running away. In
passing a lead of hay in front of Mr
James Smith's residence the horse
shied, and in endeavoring to pull it up
one of the lines "snapped. The horse
ran towards Mr Conch's residence, and
fearing that she would be thrown out,
Mrs Couch jumped, landing on the
hard edge of the boulevard, and going
over on her aukle. She has been in in-
tense pain ever since, and it cannot
yet be told whether the ankle has sus-
tained injury beyond a severe bruise
or not. At any rate she will be con-
fined to her room for several weeks be-
fore she is again able to use her foot.
BURGLARS,—It is a long time since
Clinton has experienced any burglar-
ies, but two private houses were visit-
ed on Monday night, and the robber or
robbers secured about $0 or $7 for their
night's work. The house of Mr Alex.
Ewing, Huron St., was entered, and
every room on the lower floor ransack-
ed, burned matches being discovered
all over this part of the house, and in
some of the drawers that were opened,
pieces of matches were also found,
showing that some time had been spent
here; about $6 was secured here, The
house of Miss E. Stevenson was also en-
tered, and the dining room ransacked,
only about $1 being secured. At this
place one of the boarders, who had
been out late, came in and noticed a
light in the dining room, but paid no
attention to it, thinking some member
of the" household was up. In both
houses the thief helped himself to re-
fieshments. Entrance was effected in
each case by forcing up a window.
FooT-BALL•—On Monday evening
the Collegiate foot -ball team journey-
ed to Goderich to play a friendly match
with a club from that town. The
play during the first half tiine was
somewhat ragged, and at the end the
score stood one to one. In the second
half the boys wakened up and score d
four goals in rapid succession, tben
they slackened off and Goderich again
scored; the score at the end of the
game thus standing 5 to 2 in favor of
Clinton. Our boys goto Seaforth next
Satur'lay afternoon to compete for
the Rough Cup. Special railwayrates
will be secured, so that all wishing
can go on the t hree train and return on
the six for 35 cents. As many as can
should avail themselves of this cheap
trs on
toivictory dthus while theyencourage
In rot,revelry
and rout pursue the foot -ball plays'
Whether they lose or win, we predict
that the boys will acquit themselves
in a manner creditable alike to them-
selves, to their Collegiate and to the
manly form of recreation in which
they engage.
NOTES.—The frame house on Albert
street, owned by Mr Wm. Cantelon,
has been raised and moved back, with
other improvements; John Stephenson
doing the work. The mother of Mrs
Ireland, Mrs Hays, Seaforth, was ac-
cidentally killed on Saturday, by a
steer knocking her over. The floor-
ing of the verandah to Spooner's hotel
having given way, it has been Replaced
and the building otherwise improved.
A McKillop correspondent says:—"C.
Hoare, of Clinton, has disposed of a
few more of his piano dulcimers to
parties here; his instruments are good
and have given the best of satisfaction.
Mr Gorrell has given an order to Seale
& Hoover for a handsome monument
to be erected to the memory of h;s late
wife; this. flan is doing the monument
trade of this section, as they deserve to.
The Presbyterian church at Lucan,
which has been undergoing repairs,
was re -opened on Sunday, with a Mon-
day evening entertainment; one of the
singers at this entertainment was Mrs
J. B. Hoover, of town. C. E. Know-
les, who came to Clinton with the idea
of buying out a business here, has in-
vested in a similar business at Guelph.
Dr. A. Switzer is at present looking
after the practise of Dr. Ross, of Blyth,
during the latter's absence. A num-
ber of names of young men have been
•submitted to the town clerk, as per-
sons entitled to be put on the Voters'
List; some of them are qualified voters
and should be added to the list, but it
is said a number are not qualified, be-
ing under age. The Court of Revisiur,
will hold its first session on the even-
ing of Wednesday next, 26th. Mr W.
Moffat, who has been spending the
winter here, has returned to Manito-
ba. Hiram Hill has the contract for
addition to the house of Mr Eph Butt,
on the base line. Mrs Mills, who is od-
cupying her own house on Joseph St.,
has given a contract to S. 8. Cooper
for a new vestibule. MrFred Jackson
has been under the weather for seve-
ral days, but is getting better. W. J.
Ross, assistant book-keeper at the Or-
gan Factory, is riding an,elegant Yale
wheel; he's very enthusiastic just now,
but it will curtail his liberty somewhat.
The regular meetingof the W. C. T. U.
will be held at the home of Mrs Biddlc-
comhe, on Tuesday, May 26th—not
Thursday, as originally intended; Miss
Fisher, Wingham, will be present to'
confer with' the Union on impof'tant
,business. The wife of Mr B. Cole ex-
pects to leave Detroit hospital tomor-
row. The wife of Mr Sam. Wilson is
recovering nicely from her late illness,
and expects to be able to leave her
room in a few days.
