DiATH OF MISS MCLEAN.—We deep- ly eep 1 regret being called upon to announce the death of Miss McLean, sister of M. Z. McLean, M. P.P., which occurred at Mr McLean's residence, in Seaforth, ion Friday last, of fSeaforth Deceased nearhad nearly :residentas long as bier brother, which is more than 20 ,-years, and took an active interest in all matters, more especially those of r :'local interest. Being connected with e the management of the Expositor, she ieame directly in touch with the people, `And their great respect and deep reg trd lfor het were plainly indicated by the ;latge`number who pard th it last trib- ute of honor to her on M..ni ay. She :was exceedingly unostentatious, and her exemplary life had won for her the ' xeSpect.of all. For over 2) years she had charge of the infant c a s connect- ed with the Ptesbyterian Sabbath School. After a shoe t funeral service at the house the remains were taken to the church, where a similar service ;Vas held, conduct ed by Rev Dr McDon- ald, and participated in by Rural Dean Hcdgens and Rev S. Bond. The build- : ing was filled, and in the centre of the :church eat the members of her Sunday School class, and mai y va ho had been C• Members, and when Mr McDonald re- ferred to her long and taithful,services and the incalculable influence for good sho had exercised, there were many • moist. eyes. Her illness was of short duration; six weeks before her death She Was in her accustomed place, ap- , patently in her usual health, but she ,was a victim of quick consumption. The horst tributes that covered her eof- tin were a beautiful expression of the , •lovo &.ievithed for her in many hearts. SMALL FRUITS.—LUSeiOUs strawber- ries are beginning to come into mar- ket. The croli will be a bountiful one, although late in ripening, owing to the backward season. Early cherries are ripening and the crop will be a large one. Blackberries and raspberries are blossoming in a manner that predicts abundance for all. CRICKET.—The cricketers went to London on Tuesday, to play a match with the Asylum team, Clinton went to bat first and ran up a score of 78 with rhe loss of three wickets, when the rain came un and interrupted play. Forest plays the return match here on Thursday. Parkdale Cricketers play here on Friday. DOES NOT LIKE IDLENESS. —Ex -jail- or Dickson, Goderich. was met on the platform of Clinton station on Satur- day, and in the course of conversation he remarked that"it was almost killing him to kill time." "Why" said he, "I find it the hardest work imaginable after nearly 70 years of activity, to dis- pose of the time on'my hands." There's a moral in this for people who wish for leisure time. COULDN'T STOP HER.—Two young men on the base line went to Mr Corn- ish'a the other dayto see the wind mill. One climbed to the top of the platform, while the other one pulled the lever; when once the mill got started they could not stop it, and they might as well have shoved on a slack line. It held one of them in fear and trembling at the top of the platform for about 2 hours, and he isn't sure whether the mill has stopped running yet. ACCIDENT.—The following_frona th Exeter Advocate refers to a gran daughter of Mr Thos. Hollow ay:—Lilli e d- e, the infant daughter of Mr and Mrs Robt. Rowe, was thrown from a baby carria_e on Sundalast and. dint a r ro • en arm.

Mr Schwanz, of Benmiller, has bought the last of Mr Avery's young bulls,' for which he paid $85. This is a superior stock bull, as his extended pedigree shows, being bred from stock on both sides from the Elmhurst Farm, which as the reputation of producing stock econd to none in Canada for milk and eeef. Mr Schwanz appears to apre- ciate the fact that blood will tell. This stock was advertised in the NEW ERA.] MUNICIPAL CLERKS.—A meeting of the municipal clerks of the county was held in the council chamber, Clinton, on Tuesday. About a dozen clerks were present. The municipal law was very carefullyconsidered and discuss'ed. Mr Prouty, Stephen, who has been a clerk tor40 years continuously, gave an interesting talk on various aspects of municipal work. Mr Hess, of Hay, read a paper on the Ideal Clerk's Office containing some good suggestions that are excellent, if practiced. Mr J. C. Mcrrison, of McKillop, whose reputa- tion as a writer on municipal and pol- itical matters, is well known to readers of the county papers, gave a paper on the Preparation of Collectors' Rolls, a subject of importance to all clerks, These gentlemen should either have their papers published in the Municipal World, or some other paper where clerks might get the benefit of their good suggestions. ExAMINATiONS—During the lastthree days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day, the Entrance and Public School Leaving Examinations have been in progress all over the Province of On- tario. About twenty-two thousand candidates wrote on these two examin- ations, viz., about eighteen thousand on Entrance, and about four thousand on Leaving. Last year Huron passed more at the Public School Leaving ex- amination, than any other county in the province, having passed 153. Sim- ms—waatle,tt, but far in the rear, with 98, and Middlesex 96. Huron passed one-tenth of all that passed in the pro- vince. During the same year Huron passed 486 Entrance candidates, or one - twenty -third of all that passed in On- tario. At Clinton this year 100 wrote on Entrance, and 43,on Leaving. The numbers last year wet e84and 40.

Neilans, one of the representa- tives of the Company. FredBeattie, of town, was in Hen- sall on Monday, it is said, with a view of going into business. We understand that Geo.

Both are qualified, capable young rnen, Miss Annie McCorvie, of town who has been attending the Presbyterian Ladies' College, in Toronto, has dis- tinguished herself in the Conservatory of music; in the Vocal Junior she ob- tained pass honors, in the Junior Har- mony (complete) first-class honors, in Introductory Theory first-class honors.

She was horn in Dev- onshire and came to this country when quite young; after her marriage to her 1 Arte husband, 36 years ago,ithey to k up their residence in Goderich township, where they lived for some time, subse- quently moving to Hullett. Her hus- band died; about 13 years ago, and about five years since she moved to town. She suffered much from the par tial loss of her sight, and was not able to get out as much as she other- wise would, still she was a faithful communicant of St. Paul's Church as long as it was possible to attend. Plain and unostentatious in life, she performed her duties with a mother's fidelity and leaves a loving memory behind. Her family consisted of a son John, at present residing in the States, a daughter at home, Minnieand an- other daughter, now the wife of Mr Adam Foster. The funeral takes place on Friday afternoon at 2.30 Outside Opinions. Clinton had a grand day's sport for thelvery large crowd who were at their games on the 22nd. The Lucknow boys report being used white by the Clinton boys and every person was happy.— Lucknow Sentinel. We understand that the sister town of Clinton had a very successful demon- stration, and about as large a crowd as Seaforth, While rejoicing in our own success, wecan also rejoice in theirs. Clinton and Seaforth being the only places in the county where celebrations were held, and as they both were cen- tral places, there never was any fear but that they both would have suc- cessful demonstrations. But for the demonstration in Clinton, Seafoi i h would not have been able to accomo- date her visitors the crowd would have been so large.—Huron Expositor, There are a great many ways of doing business—one is to try and snake people believe through exaggerated news- paper statements that they are getting two or three tinges as much as they are paying for.
