Aridly Bruised. Accident at Organ, Factory.
Mr. jelan Marshall Jr. of Goderich
township was severely jammed on
Vriday last by getting caught between
the gate post and his load of wood
while driving into Mr. John Jackson'e
yard. His clothing. was torn from his
arm whichwas badly bruieed. The shock
caused Mr. Nfarshell to topple over but
fortunately theft were to serious
results and he is about all right again,
The Probabilities.
According to the probabilities Mr,
William Coate will be offered the
registrarship of Huron and will ea-
cept. This will leave that other snug
berth,thenostmastership• of Clinton,for
some other actiye Liberal, Mr. James
Scott in all likeljhood.. If M. Coats
goes to Goderich, the probabilities go
on to say that Captain, Combs will
succeed him as toven clerk, but refuse
to act as treasurer as' well on the
groued that one man should not fill
both positions.
Monthly Horse Fairs. • *
Monthly horse fairs will he held in
Clinton in Jenuary, February and
March, the first to take place on Wed-
nesday of next week, A number of
the leading buyers have promised to
attend so that the fair ought to be
well patronized by those desiring to
sell and as well by others who, having
already parted with one or more of
their horses,are now looking about to
replace them, There never has been
such an active demand for horses is at
