Both the young women were confined in the house, and the other night two men drove up to the house in separate buggies, and each drove off with one of the girls, the mother leaving next day. It is not known where any of the patties hail from. THE BAND AND THE ARMY.—On Thursday evening last after the band had started its weekly concert on the square near the Post Office, the Salvat- ion Army star ted services near by. The town band continued playing., and oc- casionly the army band would play, consequently the public got very little benefit from either'. The action of the army in this instance has been severe- ly commented upon, and we have re- ceived forpublication a letter censuring the army for its course. Theletter cane attention to what many ccnsider a dis- courteous act of the army in doing as it did, but we understand that regret has been expressed for the action, which was more thoughtless than in- tentional, and the letter is with -held only because it has been promised that a similar thing will not occur again. VETERINARIES.—The annual meet- ing of the Western Ontario Medical Association was held at the Mayor's office, Stratford, last week. After the usual routine business, the report of the committee appointed to interview Hon. John Dryden, Minister of Agri- culture, in conjunction with a delega- tion from the Ontario Association, in March last, regarding the procuring of a certain amount of protection to their profession, was given by Dr. Blackall of Clinton. He stated that the Minis- ter seemed to be deeply interested in their mission and gave them to under- stand that they asked for nothing that they did not deserve as a profession. Mr. Blackall spoke so pleasantly of the interview with the Minister that an- other Vet. jocularly remarked '.Black - all, you must be turning Grit." THE SICK.—Mr Fred Jackson still continues in a condition that is caus- ing his friends much anxiety, but we hope to hear of his recovery at an early date. The wife of Mr S. Wilson is still very weak, though improving. Miss May Biggart, eldest daughter of Mr R. Biggart, is in a critical condition, from blood poisoning. Mr James Howson is cn the sick list, beingconfined to his bed. The many friens of Mr Robert Mason are glad to see him on the street, even if it is with the aid of a wheel- chair. The old friends of Mrs Burden, a former resident of this town, will be sorry to learn that both her sight and memory are failing her; she is at pres- ent living with her daughter, Mrs Bak- er of Hinsdale.iil. We regret to state that Mrs Brown, widow of the late J. Brown, Huron road, is severely; ill her age preoludeslikelihood of her recovery. TaOOAL NOTICES. **tite;d__.__ = Egpgge and roll butter.

This is a good-sized fish to be caught in town. NEW BUTCIijR'SRoP.—We under - ‘stand that Mr Powell, of Niagara Falls, N. Y., has rented the premises 'on Albert street, formerly occupied by Yard & Murphy, and will open a hutch- Aba. there. He is a son-in-law of 'Mrlohn 0. Elliott, Bayfield road, and 'h`Nas for some time been employed at this business. :44L4L GRAIN. —Several stalks of rye :'."were left with us on Tuesday, grown 'un the farm of W. Weir, which meas - `red 0 feet 2 inches in length, and were in full head. This is a good growth for the 15th of June. But W.C. Lands - 'Store, of Tuckersmith, beat this the • other day with grain that measured 7 'Sept 10 inches. ?' '` DIVISION COURT.—Two cases only „'were tried at the Division Court Last :'Saturday. Cook vs. Mair was an ac - ),tion arising out of the recent sale of ";Waren between H. C. Cook and Gilbert illdair, of Goderich township; verdict was given for defendant. Connel vs. Cook was an action entered by W. le4C.onnel against Peter Cook, for sheep ,killed by dogs; judgment fox plaintiff. C.RiCKET,—A Listowel correspondent "'gays:—"In the cricket match last !I:;Thursday between Clinton and Listo- `cxwel, Clinton won by an innings and 39 :runs, thescore being 93 to 51. The home team were greatly handicapped by the 'absence of Morphy and Nichol, while S'Terry's wicket keeping and his til. runs Mt.practrcally won the match for Clinton. The return match is expected to be played in Clinton some time in August. • >WINGHAM Vs. CLINTON.—Mr King, r- formerly of Wingham, but now of `Clinton, visited friends in town the `-atter part of last week; when asked whish town he preferred, Wingham - fir Clinton, replied being .naturally in- clined to be rather "sporty," Wingham has more attractions for , the fine ;race racecourse and splendid horses h sesm makes ' Vingham one of the ideal places for gone thus inclined, but otherwise I pre- ' ler my present town, Clinton, as a ;place of abode.—Wingham Journial. A FINE MONUMENT.—Messrs Seale & ":?..Hoover, of Clinton Marble Works, have been awarded an order for a very -fine and expensive monument to be •• 'erected in Goderich cemetery to the memory of the late M. Hutchison. It will be a. Red Granite Sarcophagus. 'Thefact that Seale & Hoover were -''-#.warded this contract in the face of Keen, Montreal, and other competi- tion, shows that they are in a position ". to execute contracts of this nature •equal to any lila'ce in the Dominion. MARRIED,—Last Wednesday, in the Methodist church, Dunnville, Miss Marie Ethelle Cassin was married to Dr. E. T. Kellam of NiagaralFalls, son of the late Rev. Henry Kellam. The rerenionv was performed by the Rev. Wesley Casein, father of the bride The bride approached the altar' leaning op- en the arm of Mr. H. P. Beattie of Sea - forth. The bridesmaids were Miss Helena Bowes of Milton, Miss Ada Beattie of Seaforth and Miss Cora Van Tassel of on. If we ini take not, Or. Kelllam of aa tnna- tive of Clinton, his deceased father be- ing at one time pastor of Rattenbury St. Methodist Church. SALT WORKS CLOSED.—There being,( very little demand at the present time', for salt, in fact the demand is much less than in former years—and the/ buildings all filled up with the article, Stapleton salt works have for the pre-' sent closed down. What is all the more to be regretted is the fact that it is uncertain when they will again go into operation, not, at any rate until the demand is much greater than it is. And this is done, men wanting work have to seek it elsewhere. in the face of 700,000 barrels of foreign salt, man- ufactured in England and elsewhere, imported free into this country. Had there been a small tax placed on this foreign salt, not only would the Stapl >>'• ,ton Salt Works have been kept -going ibutothers would have been started up. i' THE STAVELY MONEY.—On Monday 'c.,' -morning Town Treasurer Coats receiv- ed from the government a cheque for x$10,000, being the amount in full that this town receives as its share of the :'Snavely estate. Those who have been .deeiaring that the town would never *Waive the money have proved to be Wee prophets. The next step will be to ('•` suit- able are for M'emorial the erection The committee in charge of the matter have no slight task to perform. and as they are work - pi ' ing entirely in the interest of the town every assistance should be afforded them so that -the building may be speedily completed, and thus the town t get the benefit of the expenditure. The ground for the building has not actu- 'ally been staked out on the Market Square, nor bas the committee yet de- • cided just where it will be erected; they realize the difficulties that con- front them, and the objections that may be urged to certain portions of the square, and simply staked out a space 28x50 feet to 'Fee how it would look. The angle of Albert street is al- eo a difficulty in the Way of a square building. leo member of the commit. tee hag any ax to grind in the location • of the building, each and all being de- elroua of avoidfng friction or anything that. would not contribute to the gen• sial welt -being of the town, HOUSE OE REFUGE NOTES.—New in- mates are arriving every week. The latest arrivals are Peter Jordan, from Seaforth, Arthur Wellesley from God - mach jail; Ellen Wandby from Wing - ham, making a total of 74 inmates in the House at present; 52 males and. 22 females. The men's sleeping wards are so full that they are compelled to put some of the stronger mento sleep in they hospital ward. Jas. Ray, jr.. from Wawanosh, is dangerously ill, with no hopes of recovery. The fol• lowing remarks of the $•ural Dean Hodgins, of Seaforth, are to be found in the visitors' book: "1 have visited the House to -days for the first time, and was much pleased with its clean and comfortable appearance. I have visited other such institutions, and in none have I seen everything in such perfect order. The inmates all appear to be very happy and to be treated with kindness by Mr and Mrs French and their assistant." A few days since while the members of the County Conncalsited the House, Dr. Rollins of EX'eter, stated that in the course of his professional career he had visited a good many hospitals and charitable in- stitutions, but in none had be ever found the inmates more carefully look- ed after or the premises more scruple . usly clean. 4. A GOOD SUBSTITUTE. — Mr Win. Baird is this week filling Miss O'Neil's shoes at the Public School. We un- derstand be exactly fits them. Mr Baird is a son of Mr Geo. Baird, the veteran teacher of No. 4 Stanley, and therefe re he is "by ordinary genera- tion" a born teacher. GOOD SALES.—The other day Mr Samuel Thourpeon, near Kipper, pur- chased from Mr. W. Moore, of Clinton, two beautiful New Home Sewing Ma- chines at a cost of nearly $100, and made a present of them to his son and daughter. This is the kind of present which is both useful and ornamental and the example could be profitably followed by many more. ACCIDENT.—Last week a painful ac- cident befell Miss Mary Devine, •of Clinton, who is Irving with the family of Eli Bice, at Clandeboye. Miss De- vine stepped upon a brick beside which was a piece of coarse glass, and her foot slipping upon the latter, she re- ceived a deep cut above the ankle, which bled profusely. She will be confined to the house for some time. PLATE GLASS.—Jackson Bros. are re- placing the plate glass in their store, one pane of which was recently broken, by slightly smaller panes of plate, and surmounting them with beautiful colored lights. This enterprising firm are always making some improve- ments. On Tuesday next they have arranged to entertain a large number of their friends to lunch, including the Boys' Brigade from the country. HE'S A BUMPER. —While everybody having any part in preparing for the coming jubilee demonstration, has worked incessantly to make it a big success, and there are several who par- ticularly deserve praise, there is one individual especially who is worthy of great commendation, for he has per- formed a vast amount of unremunera- tive work; he has done it so good- naturedly and with sueh excellent judg- ment that no one will begrudge the Secretary, Jay P. Doherty, the credit of being a hustler in matters of this kind. MASONIC.— One evening last week about a dozen members of Clinton Masonic Lodge drove out to Smith's Hill to visit the brethren there. Mr D. E..Munroe, of Auburn, presided, and after lodge work was completed, refreshments were served. On Sunday June 27, the brethren here, and likely others from neighboring lodges, will attend Willis church in a body, where a special sermon will he reached them by Bro. Rev. J. A. Morrison, B. A., of Toronto. Special pi also ser- vice under conductorship of Bro. W. P. Spalding. GRAND FOOTBALL MATCH.—Stillan- other• has been added to the long list of attractions for the 22nd, in the shape of a foot ball match between the Clinton and the renowned Alma clubs; game to be called about 7 p. m, As the home team have been out of practice for -- some weeks, and in consideration of the fact that the Alma team have held the Crawford Cup for three successive years, defeating among others the 11urons II, of Seaforth. it can hardly be expected that our boys will win, but at any rate they will furnish a most interesting game for the specta- tors. The invading forces will be cap- tained by the redoubt:kle Thomas Brownlee, whilst the nal a forces will be marshalled and controlled by our own revered "Captain Switzy." Corrie and see the kicking of the far-famed Alma team. "You'll. never forget if you come." RAILROAD NOTES. — The Wabash Railroad, which has secured addition- al running powers over (he Grand Trunk, commenced running extra trains on Monday; two of these fast trains are controlled by Conductors Crawford and Snider, formerly of this branch. A thew time table went into force on Monday; the only change on this division is that the train which formerly went East at 2.59 p. in. now leaves at 2,53. Cendustor Parker 'is back on his old run between Wingham and London. The early train en theL.}1. & B. now runs through to Kin sardine instead of Wingharn. Sid Smith has shipped nine ears of stcck during the past week. Holmesville cheese fac- tory this week shipped a car of cheese to•Lnndon, Eng. The G.T.R. will now check baby carriages, small waggons and sleighs, to any point on their sys- tem In Canada and the United States; formerly they could only be checked to he lines. The G. T. R. has issued a tourist's guide, and Mr Pattison will gladly give information to tourists. THEIR HONORS.—Last week we gave the names of the ex -students of the Clinton Collegiate who passed the ex- aminations in Toronto University he honor lists have since appeared nd we are glad this week to give the tending of those who wrote on the onor examinations.

The nercentage required for the differ- ent clitsses of honors are seventy-five, sixty-six and fifty respectively. PRESENTATION AND WEDDING.— About eighteen of the most intimate friends of Mr W.P. Spalding assembled at the Rattenbury House on Tuesday evening la3t,to give expression of their good will and also to present as a slight token of esteem a very hand- some Tea Set on the eve of Mr Spal- ding's departure from bachelordom. Mr L. Kennedy took the chair, and in a very able address expressed the sen- timents and good will of the assembly towards the guest. An event which has for some time been anticipated oc- curted at the handsome residence of James Fair, Esq., on Wednesday after- noon, when his second daughter. Helen, was married to Mr W. P. Spal- ding, Rev A. Stewart officiating, and only the immediate friends of the par- ties concerned being present; Miss Dot Fair, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, while the groom's brother, Arthur, of Dundee, was groomsman. Both are exceedingly popular among the young people of town, and it is hardly necessary to say that the con- gratulations of the community are ex- tended them. They left on the 4.25 'train for Detroit, and will settle down to life's realities on their return. HAT Y 'AY. — ' hat's the, mati:er with Clinton anyway? Is the present wonderful outburst of loyalty and enthusiasm due to the new Gov- ernment at Ottawa, or can it possibly be that the Whitney boom has struck them? Certain it is that our citizens never before put forth such a gigantic effort to honor their Queen and enter- tain their guests. That the hay on the streets should be cut. That the town is beginning already to show a holiday aspect. That the arches will be begun in a day or two. That the Alma Football Club are "whalers" to play, That the Goderich boys know a thing or two about baseball. That the 7,ucknow boys are good stick - handlers. Tbat the Blyth and Exeter Bands "are all right." That the Par- kor-Partello troop of performers will he a whole show in itself, What kind of animals are "unique and grotesque floats" (see bill). Judging from the name we presume it is an ante-diluvian and mayhaps a pre-adamite species; come and see it. That flags and bun- ting should be on every house on the 22pd. That we should have a town clock to commemorate Our Jubilee. That the boysshouldwell be given permission to have a bonfire at night. That in ancient times all roads led to- wards Rome, but that on the 22nd they will be all leading towards Olin - ton, the Hub of the Universe—pardon us, we mean the Hub of the County, 00 ULD Just because the weather was a good deal cooler than usual during May and the early part of this month, we have not sold the quantity of fine Cotton Dress Goods we would have, had the weather been warmer.
