Already S.S. Cuoper has contracts for a
four brick residences to be erected next e

4 COASERvATIvs AssOCIATION — The

Association of town was held in the 1
' Council chamber, on Monday eyening.
The election of officers resulted as
fol-lows:—President, Dr. T.C.Bruce; Vice -

'P. Doherty; Executive committee: --
t' ' T. Walker, T. Johnson, A. M. Todd, 0.

-PnOPERTY CHANCES --R, McLennan
will•offer his vacant lots onVictoria St -
for sale by auction on Dec. 11th; at the
same time the house adjoining Beattie's
f livery will be offered for sale. The
house on Albert St., and the farm of
,�'�acreP just. outside of town, belong-
' sIng to the Spooner estate, are offered
' for sale; the latter is a splendid place
t i for a farmer who wishes to buy a little
land.and retire. The Foxton property
is also offered for sale.
' A NARROW EsCAPn.—Tbe other day
smoke was noticed in the residence of
g. B. Chant, and although the stove
lavas carefully all
to, and every
effort made to And the origin of the
smoke, it was for some time unsuccess
ful. Finally it was discovered that
i the chimney was defective, and the
X { joists were on fire, and had it not been
extinguished promptly, would soon
have made such headway that the
house could,not have been saved.
ACCIDENT.—The Mount Forest Rep-
resentative of last week thus refers to
P ] a former well-known Clintonian:—"On
Tuesday, as Mr I. Cantolou was empty
-
ingg a tub of water off the back veran-
' dab of the Coyne House, the railing
ve way and he fell to the ground, a
Cdistance of about 12 feet. A dislocated
elbow and badly sprained arm was the
' result, but he is to be congratulated on
escaping with no worse injuries. His
place on the 'bus and in the house is
being filled in the meantime by Mr J.
Roberts."
RAILROAD NOTES— Wm. Baden re-
turns o his position as caretaker of
the L., H.&B. tank on Dec. 1st
t . Pass-
' enge -a who have occasion to take the
4.30 train south, L.,H.&.B., are tom
tlaining of the frequency, of this train
' being late, caused by waiting for stock;
it is certainly very annoying to miss
connections through the lateness of
this train, and the matter should be
remedied. H. F. Streets, section fore•
uian, and his men, got orders last week
yu to go up to Goderich dock and finish
a the new piece of track, to lift it and
line same. There are no local Ship-
ments of stock this week.
