That they walk thedistance was merely, a. sug- gestion thrown out by the Militia De- partment but which was not consider- ed feasible. The comfort ef the men will be more than ever considered at this camp whic13, together with the county council vote of twenty-five cents per day per man added to the regular pay, should bring in recruits more readily than heretofore. The old fashioned' knapsack will be dis- carded for the Oliver equipment, the new carrying outfit, which throws the weight upon the hips insteadsof upon the shoulders. It is of brown leather, asare the belts, so will be much easier to keep clean. The men will also have straw hats and flannel shirts issued to them before leaving their company headquarters so that they may the better withstand the heat.

They also telephoned to his brother, Dr. Taylor of Goderiels, who arrived rioting the night. After hav- ing done all that was possible for them to do Messrs. Layton and Towns- end started for their', homes after mid- night. Drs.Gunn, Scott and Graham attend- ed Mr. Taylor who is ndw holding his own aewell as could be expected. It is not known how the accident happened but it is surmised that the horse becoming frighiefled by the head- light of the locomotive, shied and threw Mr. Taylor in front of the train, it has been stated that the engineer did not blew the whistle on approach - hag the crossing. If so, the G. T: R. will likely have a big bill of dstaages to pay. • About ten years ago Edmund Rastas was Silted. while driving over this cres- sing•with a load of Wood. • A NEW POsTOFFICE FoR CLINTON. The Supplementary Estimates amounting to the tidy sum of $8,369, 211. were presented to Parliament on Friday last. Ansong the Ontario ap- propriations are : • Goderich harbor, $10,000; extension southern pier, Bay- field, $5,500; wharf at St. Joseph, • $5,000; postoffice, Clinton, $5,000. • As St. Joseph has no harbor, either natural or artificial, the want of a wharf is not quite plain. A $5,000 wharf at that point without an expen- sive breakwater and an equally costly dredging is—well just so much money squandered. Those who have seen what there is of St, Joseph,and there is mighty little and not likely to be much more, regard, this grant as a, piece of 'reckless extreva: The belated grant to Clintcm is small and not sufficient to buy a site and erect a building in keeping with the growth and importance of this town. However, a half loaf is better than no bread at all. Is it too much to expect, noW that the money is voted, that it be acted upon at once and not dilly-dallied with for two or three years. Where the new office will be located will concern many of our citizens. a number a whom are inclined to doubt that the question will be settled from the standpoint of what will hest serve the town as a whole. They hope it will but they much doubt it. They unite, however, in expressing the wish that the sitting mernber is not pulling the wires to !slake the new office an annex to' his print shop. HURON LEADS FOR STOCK. The large shipments of live stock from local points make it evident that this county leads for live eteck which is making it increasingly wealthy.

The ladies of the con- gregation had sparedno pains to make the church as attractive as • possible a,nd accordingly wherever the eye rested the otherwise gray monot- ony of wall was relieved by the pleaaing effect of foliage and flowers of every variety and. bloom.
