Law OFFICE,—We observe that 'Mr.
James Scott, who was recently called to
the bar, has opened a law office in Clin-
ton, county of Huron. Mr. Scott is a
young man of more than average promise.
He, has • beeli :a successful student, is a

liable. We hope to hear of his success
in Clinton.—oodstock Sentinel Review.:

•• SECOND. •GROWTHS. .The warm and
showery weather has, caused this to be n

set. in to put a stbp to this; or fruit will be
scarce next year. '

tEwerAPER CII,aM .---It is said that
the Wingham Tithes has againchanged
hands, the .purebasere being Messrs. Ed-
wards
wards & Wiley, of Strathroy. This paper
has underwent more changes' during the
few years it has been in existence, than
any paper we know of, and isa illustrative
of the folly of persons starting a business
they are not practically acquainted with.
Originally started as a branch of the NEw
ERA, itsoon after passed, into other hands,
and has led a changeable existence, be-
cause, out of the half-dozen proprietors it
has had, only one was a practical printer.
There is pe

practical know�edgeis so absolutely
neces-
sary to ultimate success, as in the publica-
tion of
a newspaper, as those who have
entered the business, unaquainted with its
