Grigg, jewel. ler, has removed hie stock across the street to the Beaver block, afew ' o k doors south of the town hall, where he will still•continue and be - pleased to meet all his customers and many new ones also. This business was established in 1855, by T. Biddlecombe, an uncle of Mr Grigg, the latter having nurchased it in 1897, and .was conducted in the late stand since '76. A. J. says it felt like tearing away from old associations when he removes • from the 'stand where he started to learn his trade in '79, with Mr Biddlecombe: He. later perfected his, knowledge with Kent Bros , cf•Toronto, and was also in St. Thomas and Ridgetown before return- ing to Clinton.. He will reside in the house on Victoria street, ; latelyoccu- pied by Mr. Jas. McHardy. •TOWN 'Comtism—A special.. meeting was held, on Tuesday evening, Mayor Jackson presiding, to consider a report of the committee on official -4, &c., and other business..'

Stevens, near Clinton, was the scene of an important event, on Tuesday, when a pretty' home wedding was celebrated, by the marriage of his daughter, Alma, to William Eagleson, of Aberdeen, South Dakota. Rev B. Clement, --pastor --.of Ontario street Methodist church, ofliciatea,_and pro- nounced the magic words which made the happy couple husband and .wife.

Te hall was fairly well fille 1.with citizens who look for something entertaining and relining; He gave the entire program in his original dialogue lectures, as he calls them, entitled "Around the Stove," of which there are over half -a -dozen characters. The characters taken are those who generally congregate in a wintry store, on winter evenings, to talk, yarn, or tell stories. Each has something to say, and are witty. In the dialogue are included such, personages as the happy and joky drummer, the politican, the farmer, the student who thinks he knows more than he does, and does considerable airing, the Frenchman whose ' "Francais" is mingled with English, the barber who takes pleasure in a banjo, the school- master exhibiting his show of knowl- edge, and the witty Irishman. It is too much for One person to give the whole program, providing it is to be of an entertainingg sort., To give a lecture is different: A concert has to be good, and if the Bureau lands any more, and does not keep up its standard, they Will not be patronized as formerly. The next concert, which is the fourth of the course, is on the Oth of March. ST. VALENTINE'S DAT.—Wednesday was St. Valentine's Day. The 14th of February inbs v s a festiVa1in the Romish church,dir honor of St. Valentine. It was an old notion, and alluded to by Shakespeare that on this day birds couple up, Hence, perhaps, arose the custom of sending on this day letters containing professions of love and affection. It is supposed delicate greetings passed between Cupid's children centnrys ago. Ther, as now, illustrations were used, but We think slightly different.. Hearts, arrows, darts and other silent miesives were pictorial representations of the giver's feelings, which breathed the "tender passions of sweet affection." But, as the years' have rolled on, this modest way of expressingsentiment has fallen frons the primitive --from the sublime to the ridiculous—and has culminated into frightful and deform. ed caricatures of so called Valentines. The human foram is distorted, and Cupid burlesqued, while rnany other liberties ere taken as each anniversary of the Saint mimes around, Tho younger folks, of course, use these burlesques largely, while we suppose those of maturer age, (somewhat bash.. fol,) are guilty of secretly expressing "tenderness in love" .by Valentines of efinement. The usual number were d this year, away, but bef re leaving all expressed the opinion that J. B. would make a good presiding officer, as well as being a "right jolly good fellow." To THIS PuBLIO.—As a tnisunder- standing* seems to exist with the pub- lie in regard to Dr. Turnbull'e.field for, practice, be wishes us to state thathe is at liberty to piacttce in Clinton or surrounding country or any other Place. He has madeeatiefactory ar- raiagainente with his successor in Cline ton, Dr. Graham, and is not limited in any way. His office in Goderich is on flamilton ,St,, above Elliot's grocery store.. ONLY A SLIGHT MISTAKE. -It was rung . too slow for a fire alarm and too fast for a funeral toll. What did it mean ? was the query every person asked on Saturday when the town bell ran out at 11 a, m., It created a stir at the time and people thought some- thing had happened but on learning it it was found that Mr Wheatly had mis- taken the time on his watch (regulat- ed from McGill university Montreal) for 12 o'clock,an hour too soon for din- ner. This is the first time our official had made;the mistake and took the jokes from the public good naturedly.
