SEEING THE •COMET.—One night last
week a certain young man in town, who
does not live more than a thousand miles
from the post office, requested his mother
If y.oure waking, call me early,
Call are early,,tuether dear."
in order that he might see the comet.
Accordingly, about half -past three, the
mother aroused her darling boy to come
and see' the heavenly wonder, at which
she had been already gazing•for some time.
They both went to the window and after
intently watching for some time until a
cloud passed away,they discovered to their
intense disgust that -they had been watch-
ing the moon's reflection through a cloud,
and not the comet at all. One dare not
ask either of the two if they have seen
the comet, unless a good way .ff. .'
DEATH of MRs.McLAGAN,—The Mer
-
miry, Guelph, thus refers to the death of
this lady -at Guelph, known to many of
our readers, she being a sister-in-law_of
Mrs. W. Green, and her husband a former
publisher in this place. "It was only on
Sunday morning that shetook ill of .con-
-gestion-ofthelungs-and-pleurisy;and-dur--
ing all that -day' was veryill indeed, but it
was not till Monday morning that Dr.
Keating considered her life in danger.
She continued to sink during -the day,and`
passed away at a quarter to seven o'clock.'
The . circumstances connected with - her
death are rendered more sad and melan-
choly from the absence of her husband,
who apprised of her condition, left Win-
nipeg on Monday night for ,Guelph' just
about the time 'she breathed her last.
Mrs.McLagan was well known in Guelph,
and her sudden death will be a sad shock
to many dear and attached friends,,. many
of whom remember well her early sorrows,
when, seventeen years ago, she lost four
children in one month by diphtheria.
But is now left to mourn her
death ata comparatively early age -21
'DiskppnARANcE:—Early- last, week the:
-public -were -astonished , to- hear that Mr
A. T. Salt had lefttown, leaving a num-
ber of unpaid accounts behind.;.He"•has
hitherto been regarded as a very steady
and industrious young man, bearing an
irreproachable character, and the fast per-
son who would be expected to act in this
manne After he was gone, however, it
turnedut that he had been guilty of bor-
rowing money and using:_ his -mother's
name assecurity, without either her
knowledge or consent. It seems a little
singular; that he should have been able to
borrow from a - number of persons; sums
aggregating nearly: $1,504, . witktout any
One 9f thein knowing that he was borrow-
nig from others, butitmaybe taken as an :
evidence of their faith in his probity of
character; Mueh sympathy is manifested;'
for his parents,andparticularly his mother,:
who has carried•on business here for 19!
years, and honestly -discharged herliabil-
ties, and the creditors,who have no desire to
act harshly in the matter, but wishto set
tle_afiairs witli_as little trouble.as possible,
have' signified' their intentionof accepting:
a compromise . His: parents express the
opinion that if he had ,devoted himself
more attentively to business and paid less
attention to training a fast colt, of which.
he; was the owner, he would never have
eaused_them the present . trouble, which
will bear very heavily on them,theybeing
wellup in years, and not blessed with a
Superabundance of this world's goods.
Mrs. Salt feels very grateful for the con-
sideration she has received at the hands
of those concerned. `.

THE STREET
LAMPS.—A11 the street
0
]amps have been erected and are now used
every eyening; they are a decided im-
provement over none at all, . and ' we
commend the committee for their prompt-
ness in getting then up. Still, there are
several ways in which they' might be im-
proved, and made more serviceable, and
when more are erected it would lye prii-
dent to improve them. However_, we pre-
surae that the committee did what they
'thought • best with the means at their
disposal. Mr. Searle, we believe, in-
tends to erect oite in front of his, house, at
his ..own-expense„and_-others.�arerlikly to..
do the same,

at Bayfield show last week Mr.Josh Cole,
cutter for R • Coats :& Son, • took a very'
large number of orders for suits' of cloth -
if g ; he also took a number at 'Blyth;
which shows that Clinton business men
