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.

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.
