According to the evidence the plaintiff, James Nott, and bis sister were driving home after attending service in Turn- er's church last Thursday night when the defendant, Frank Garnish, deliber- ately frightened the horse by blowing sparks from a cigar in its face. The animal bolted and both occupants were thrown out of the buggy, The vehicle was overturned but Mr. Nati pluckily held on to the lines arid succeeded in stopping the horse. The animal was injored and the buggy damaged. Mayor Jackson', before whom the ease was tried,assessed the damages at thir- teen dollars to which the fine and cpsts added eight dollars more.

The only absentee at Monday night's meeting of the Town Fathers was Councillor Bell, whia is yet confined to the house .frona the effects of the accident of which he was recent- ly the victim. A communication was read from Dr. Shaw, the medical health officer, who said that complaints having been made of bad odors issuing from the trap drain at the postoffice, he had ex- amined it and found complaints wen founded. ,He recommended -that the council order its drain inspector to make a further examination witla View to removing the eause of the annoyance, Councillor, Johnson said the drain ' had .been examined and found clear and was of theopinion that the cause of complaint was to be found on private property and that It was a matter for the board of health rather than the council to deal with. The liquidator of the °racily Dairy Co. requested the council to alter the ' terms IA the agreement re. the cream- ery. This was complied with to some extent. The council takes a mortgage of $300 to be paid back atthe rate of $60 per Annum for each year the plant is net operated until Abe whole amount is paid. The assessment is to remain fixed for .five years at $1000. The street committee recommended the eutting of the small elevation on the street in front of St. Paul's church in order to secure better drainage. The work will also improve the appear - of Ontario street and as it will cost only about fifty dollars the council Sam tionecl the outlay. Miss Mountcastle vvrote the council that their property. and cellar had been flooded by the over- flow of the water table on Orange street. The council will investigate and see what is best to be done in the matter. It was brought to the attention of the council that the granolithic con- tractors had, or were about to pull up stakes here, though continuing oper- ations elsewhere. As there is consid- erable work yet to be done the council directed. that the contractors comply with the terms of agreement and con- tinue the laying of the walks until they are recjuested to atop. The case of Mr. George Flintoff, who is ill with fever, was laid before the Fathers. It was requested that they pay for the attendance of a nurse. The peeper committee was empowered to use its best judgment. Mr. James Scott, who Ilas taken much ioterest in the cultivation of sugar beets in this district, wrcite the council in regard to the matter. He stated that a company has been organ- ized in Toronto to manufacture beet sugar and that it has expressed its in- tention of building its works in the district where a libeeal supply of the beet beets are grown and. where there is also an abundance of limestone mad water. He suggested that an in- dependent test be procured of the beets grown in this district read that the promoters of the eompany be com- municated with in order to induce them to visit the eection. Mayor 3ackson said that he had driven around for two days with Profeseor Slauttleworth, the offieiel sent up by the Goyerement when Clinton was de- cided upon as an EXperimental Sta. tion, and' that the Professor had. stated that the country tributery to Clinton was the best he had seen and he had visited all parts of Orititri.N Professor Shuttleworth was then of the opinion that the leaul hereabouts vete well adapted for sugar. beets. Mayor Jackson °greed. With Mr. Scott that an independesat test of the beets was desir- able, It was suggested OA the adjacent townships 6,re deeply intereeted in the industry, that they be requeeted, to assist hi the expellee of the test,but the council deeded to undertake it alone and the folloWing committee wee appointed to bet with the Mato r The Mayor, Courieillor Corebe, Messrs, Scott, Forrester and Weir, 1 ' Including a big range of union -made stiffs and setts.

Ruskin of the Colportage Mission of Algoma and the Northw est is Making his annual visit to tilintOn on behalf of the 18th year's work of supplying in that district the Holy Scriptures and Scriptural literatere. He is grateful for kind and substantial support accorded inthe • peat and is doing his utmost to make the good work in his hands a success, being en- couraged tit. past experience to persevere to the end. During the last year about 3,000 copies of the Mission stock of books have been supplied in - five languages,. also of ,naagazines and of tracts many thousands have been used. and varioos editions of booklets and tracts have also been published, in addition to former publications to the number a 30,000 copies. Twenty dol- lars which was contributed in Clinton last year is gratefully acknowledged by the missionary. The Creamery Not Sold. - The auction sale advertised by the liquidator of the Crealy Dairy Co.of the Clinton creamery and plant, the Blare°. field skimming station and plant and the plant of the Seaforth station was held on Tuesday afternoon and attend- ed by quite a lumber of people. The popular a,uctioneer, M.r, Thos. Brown, wielded the hainther and, though he was in his most seductive mood the Seaforth plant was the only portion of the outfit sold. On the balance the bids did. not come up to the' reserve price. The Company therefore still owns the Clinton and Xornoka cream- eries and the Brucefield• station and will dispose of them by private sale unless, as the liquidator has intimated, a new company is organized to operate them. He is of the opinion that such a company with sufficient reserve capital could make money out of this property. The Kontoka creamery cost about $5000 and is equipped for either butter or cheese making. It is the opinion Of those who ought to know that this is a profitable centre for a, creamery so the local plant is not at all likely to remain idle beyond the opening of the next season, Church Parade. On Sunday last the Volunteer Com- panies of Clinton and. Porter's Hill under Captains Combe and Shaw, re- speetively, paraded to St. Paul's church for the morning service. Al- though it was not known. until Thurs- day that there would be a Sunday par- ade of the militia in town, the church wag decorated with flowers, and Brite ish ensigns draped the pulpit and. lec- tern. The Rev, Mr, Gunne in his ser- mon addressed, more particularly the Volunteers, taking for his text Jere - trash 12,17 :—" But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and des- troy that nation, aaith the Lord." The preacher drew a comparison be- tween the history of Israel and. thag ef the British nation,dwelling on the fact that if national progress is to be made, the neeessity for obedience to Ged's cemmands is just as imperetive upon us as it was upon the Israelites. Many of the national deliverances of the Ern- pire from peril were shown to have been by the hand of God only ; and both nationally and, individually we are favored as were the Israelitee. Patefotism was then touched upon and the union of the Crosses in the 'Union Jack pointed. out our flag not only as a national flag but also ark a Christian banner. After a fevt concluding worths of eavice as to what constitutes true soldiership, the address was brought to a dose. The music was appropriate for the ()melon and Was Well rendered. Just before the benediction the national. anthem Was sung, There was a Yowl atten- dance of friends of the soldiers present, in fact it was the largest congregation that. St. Paul's has had for a long tinle, avas on his Way home from attend; ing the funeral uf the late Thos. A. Elliott of Goderich township. Among the farmers for whom Mr. D. B.
