and reputation held by but few in the.

the one in Clinton. . . •
A laughable thing occurred in one of the
Churches, on.Sunday evening; just'before'
the commencement of the service.. One
of the members who oceapies aprominent
position in the church, honed off his wa-
terproof before taking has seat, and was as.
much astonished' as were the people,, to.
find he had only one coat on.. Realizing
the situation, he grabbedhis coat, and
slid out, returning when .he had secured
another coat.
RUNASVAYS. On Friday. Merging last•
Mr. Thos. McKenzie's horse rola away,
making a bad wreck of. the wagon. A.
team belonging toRattenbury & Mooney
ran away the same day,' from the front of
Miller & Tedford's; dargging Mr... Mooney
along the road for some distance, They.
ran in the ditch all along Orange Street
the buggy bounding .over crossings and
all obstructions, and were stopped on the
lluron road, after they, had smashed the
bogy nearly to pieces,
;siitii NV'oitlr.—Eecanse ,.than season
has been a little cold, farmers, imagine.'
thatit is behind that of former years, but
as a matter of fact it is really ahead. The
weather has been exceptionally fayerable
for spring work, which, with most far
niers, is further advanced. than at the
same time last year, while, cold• as it is,
•the growth is also better. We presume,
however, that thhre are softie' who would
grumble if they got through spring seed-
ing by the first of January. - . '
A REPUTATION NOT COVETED. -'-Just;
now Clinton is enjoying a. reputation,
abroad which is by no means enviable,
and which we wish to'repudiate in tote.
Simply because three Seaforth youths be-
come concerned in a heinous; crime while.
•liere,• is no reason why Clinton should
'suffer for their sins. The people of Clin-
ton are always willing Jo be held respell.
Bible for their own acts, but it is hardly
the fair thing to expect that . they. will
meekly shoulder . the •infamy. of other
places.
TRIBUTE or RESPECT. — At a recent
meeting of the township of Hullett Agri-
cultural Society, held et the Commercial
hotel, it was moved by James Bigginss,
Esq., seconded by G. Elliott, Esq., That
this society desires to record its feelings
of sincere regret at the sudden death of
their esteemed late Vice President, Mr.
John Shipley, which occurred oh March
25, and while we miss his cheerful conn-
tenance, and feel the want of ..his, wise
counsels at the meetings of the society,, of
which he has been an active officer since
its formation in January, 1854, a period
of thirty years. Tho duties devolving on
him in the various positions hp held dor-
ing his protracted term of office were, al.
ways discharged with credit to li meelf
and benefit to the society. We, therefore,
extend our heartfelt sympathy tothe be-
reavedi
widow and family, in the rrepar.
able loss they have sustained hi the death
of father and daughter,"

of his profession, and certainly gave ; the
best speech on that side of the question;
but none of thespeakers advanced any
arguments' that were hard to . meet, the
whole tenor of them being to 'show that.
prohibition was "impracticable, and was
a restriction on the liberty of the subject,
the states of Mahle and 'Vermont being
taken as illustrations supporting their
argument,
The Clinton speakers had a compare -
'direly easy task in replying to their oppo-
nents, although they labored under sever
ral-disadvantages,•and made several home
thrusts that were appreciated by the audi-
ence. It was clearly .shown that restrict-
ive measures did promote sobriety and
temperance, that much of the prevailing
crime was clue to the use of liquors, that
it cost far more tto collect the. revenue,
from this source than the revenue
amounted to;that no benefit whatever ac
cured to society fromtheir use of ligtior,and
consequently it would be to the interest of
the community to banish the traffic from
