THURSDAY; JUNE 15, 1882. 'some ludicrous blunders, as a young orator
from Clinton 'did at ,Summerhill one night.
Zorn JOIU .
MRs.oR-GAN• has now'sixty pupils in
lier private school.
THE LATE James Dallas, of Tucker-
eu ith, was a cousin of Mrs. John Fox, of
• this. place. `
THE itAcE intended to come oft' on the
1st of July, between the colts of Messrs.
Copp and Beacom, has fallen through.
THE planing mill formerly run by Mc-
Cartney Scott & Co., is offered for sale
by tender. Here's a chance for some one:
MR. W. Ronrssoii, of the Huron road,
has a working horse that weighs close on
to 1600 lbs., which is au unusually good
weight.
THE FIRST new wool of the season -was
marketed here on'lhursday by Mr. Geo,
Middleton, of Goderich township; who
delivered 500 lbs.
MR. W. B. OUCH having disposed of
his manufactory here, intends to start
business:. in Stra,throy, to Which place he
purposes. removing in ,a' short time.
THE LATEST town that has been laid
out in the northwest is called " Auburn,"
.and is said to be located by a Huronite.
It is a long distance west of Brandon.
WE HAvE a stool of wheat oh exhibi-
tion, taken at random from the Ransford
farm, that measures over four feet in
length; and is on'the point of heading out.
THE DIRECTORS of the Seaforth Driving
Park, knowing that it would be useless to
run any other coltagainst.Mr. Tipling's,
have wisely concluded not to accept his
challenge:
MESSRS. P. Cole and C. Mason returned
from. Michigan last week, where the latter.`
has bought eightyacres of land within
five miles of Croswell, upon which he will
place his son Edward.
THE EDITOR of the Seaforth vein, seeing
us drive a pair of -mules in that town last
"week, goes into .ecstasiesover it,: we .pre
sume because he recognized near relatives
of his, in the harness.
PLEAD GUILTY.—The young man Poul-
ton, who was committed to jail last week
for stealing a watch in this town, was up
before the judge the other day, and plead
guilty. Sentence was reserved.
Mx: JAs: TwITCHELL is manufacturing
a number of sets of ox harness, for Mr.
Austin Callander, who .intends sending
them to the northwest, being the second
shipment of .the kind he has made.
WHILE playing on the school grounds
last week, Ella Coats (daughter of Mr. W.
Coats) accidentally had a crochet needle
run through her clothes, right into her
back. The doctor's aid was needed to
extract it, but the wound was not serious.
last week, when -la esaid-that,-tilloand-a-half
I bushels • of wheat would make a barrel of.
flour.The most ignorant one in his au-
dieWknew that this amount was little
• more than half enough,
DR. WORTHINGTON, of ,.this place, at-
tended the proceedings . of the (,•Ontario•
Medical Association, at Toronto, last week,:
and read an ititktesting paper. upon the
treatment of diphtheria: Drs. Stewart, of
Brucefield, and Graham, of Brussels, were
also in attendance. • ,
WE LNDERCTirnthat Messrs. Joseph
and Thos. Stephenson;of this place, have
'
taken up landabout thirty miles nor
west of Brandon, within six miles of, the
railway, and are well pleased with the
country, notwithstanding the difficulties
they had to encounter in getting to it.
DIseHARGEn.-The . boy Robert Hig--
gins, of Crediton, formerly of Clinton,,
csharged with .committing indecent assault
upon a girl named Bernhart, •appeared
•'before Judge .Toms on Wednesday. 'It
was clearly proved by three witnesses who.
were with him that he had )ieither touched
nor spoken to the girl.
ACCIDENT. — On Thursday afternoon:
last a man named Alfred Moore, empl.yed
in Fair's mill, met with a; severe' accident.;
While at work at the edging saw, 'his
hand came in contacttherewith,: and his
index finger was cut clean off, in a twink
ling, and the remaining fingers badly la
cerated. It will be .some time before he
is able to use his hand again.
AN EXAMPLE OF HONESTY. -A lady,
travelling from the east of :London, stop-
ped at the Queen's Hotel. Seaforth, one
evening recently; while: there she dropped_
her pocket book, but did not miss it until'
she got to Clinton, :when she wrote a card
to .the proprietor, :asking about it, and re-
ceived the article by mail next day. She
wishes to express her thanks to the pro-
prietor of the hotel by this means.
MARKET NOTES.—Potatoes have gone.
up to 90e a busbel,andare scarce at that.
Eggs are higher in price than butter, the
former bringing 17 c.'a dozen, andihe lat-
ter lb
atter'.lb e. per ib. for loose, and 16 fol tali."
Wool is unusually low 'in 'price, being
quoted at 1G to 18 cents, and there is not
much prospect of it being higher. Wood.
isnot much in demand. ',Hay fetches a
pretty .good price, notwithstanding, the
abundance of grass.
MR. S. T. HOLmES; who has been away
iu the west for several weeks, returned
home on Monday, after having secured
land in Minnesota, and Made. .arrange7„
meats for the purchase of other property
" in Dakota. Although helikes, the. coun-
try pretty well, he has no intention of
snaking it his permanent home; believing
• that a man, can have far greater comforts.
in Ontario than he can there, withouttlie
drawbacks which. there exist, and will
continue,to for -along time to come.
CONCERT.—Mr. I3. Morgan is bound to
make the concert on the 12th July excel
anything ever given Here.' The services
Fif Mr. Waugh, a comic singer, have been
engaged along with others, and: with the
cantata by the 60 children, besides our.
local talent, who are getting up some first.
class music, the programme will certainly
be a good' one. Endeavors are being
made to have the trains on both line4 field
over until 10:30 p.nr, so as to giveall
from a. distance a chance to 'attend.—

Lucy, 2:201, by Royal Revenge, for a
number of seasons past owned and trotted
by Palmer & Wells, all over the country,
and familiarly known in the United States
as " The Queen's Own," has ;made her
exit from the trotting turf, .having been
- sold on the 2nd inst. to Col. O. H. Payne,
Cleveland, treasurer of the Standard Oil'
Company, as a mate to his mare Daisy,
with whom she showed a half in 1:111 the
first time they weredriven. together. The

14Ix WPI. JAexsoN returned,from the
northwest last Thursday, having travelled
nearly four thousand. miles during his
absence, going a considerable distance
west of, Brandon. He 'reports matters as
very,quiet indeed in Winnipeg, real estate
beiug almost unsaleable; and those who
have their,second"payments coming 'due,
as feeling • " very sick." His opinion is
that .many o f the•Huronites' will return in
the fall to Ontario -many would do so
now if they did not feel ashamed of so
doing.• -
THE EDITORof the Expositor, who was
among the audience at the public Meeting
here:last week, concludes his report there-
of as. follows, :—" Mayor Forrester ,occu-
pied the,cbair, and the exceedingly order-,
ly meeting was due in no small degree to
the tact he displayed in that position, for
although the major portion of the audi-
ence seemed peaceably disposed,thereWere
a few. -obstreperous spirits present .Who
occasionally permitted their: feelings to
get the better of their:good judgment, and
had they not been carefully managed by
the, chairman; and speakers, the. meeting
would have been much less orderly;'!,,
• THE OTHER morning as the sun in all
his splendor and ,power was • pouring his
warm rays.upon this ethereal sphere, and
while we were studiously engaged in the
arduous duties pertaining to our respon-
sible position; we heard -the sound of de-
scending waters upon the earth in front
of our premises, while the -atmosphere
Suddenly assumed a coolness so pleasant
and refreshing as to be almost indescrib-
able,,l Mentally asking ourselves "whence
this delightful change;? we 'raised: our
eyes' and gazed with astonishment, admi-
ration and awe upon the cause of our
pleasure. There was the apparatus 'per
forming its.:work almost noiselessly,: and
as it proceeded onward, onward • in its
•course, we could see the sinile of satisfac-
tion which litcouritenances of our
business :men,' who felt that science •and
mechanical art . had at last triumphed
over the elements; and relief from the op•
-
pressiveness of heat and unpleasantness
of ,dust, had at.last been attained. They
could now breathe easier, business cares
need 'not trouble them, and so'9ong as they
had a sprinkling cart that -performed its
work as effectually as the present one;.
they, were happy. Anything we have be-
fore said about the cart we take it ,all
back, as itis now really doing good work.
