were funnel -shaped, of a dafk lead color,
the blue aky'in front and the bright
low tint behind, caused by the settingsun,
forming a combination of.colors that was
wonderfully beautiful. The waterspouts
were rapidly moving landward, but got
smaller by degrees,, until they were entire-,
ly absorbed by4he clouds. :Quite a. num-
ber of people witnessed:the: unusual sight.
QUIT HUMAIIGGING Tlie street water-

ance for years, and is only getting -worse'

own Mary street. The authorities know
perfectly *ell the cause of all the trouble,
and the sooner they remove it the sooner.
will the evil be remedied. The matter -
has been shirked by. every council we
have had for years, and it is time the mat-
ter was promptly dealt with, either by the
council or Board of Health.

Before•the•Grooks Act was amended last

left at°the Grand Trunk Station here is
still in charge of Mr. Pattison (thoagh
being looked after by several ladies.) and
been sent to London Infants Home, The
following additional particulars as.t..00, its
parentage have• been learned :—Aliout a
week since a womaninamed Mary Marti -
son, who had been confined in the Lon-
don Hospitala cou•ple of weeks previous,
was arrested at thatinstitutjon on a
charge of stealingjsome �- ewelryalid clothes
from a fellow -boarder, In a boarding-
house, a couple of months pprevious. • She
acknowledged the theft, and having two
small children to take care of the Magi-
strate allowed her to go on bail being
given to appear when called for; She
then stated she was going to friends near
Exeter. Instead of getting oft at Exeter
she came on to Clinton, left her offspring
as before stated, and disappeared: She
is supposed to.bet,not very. far from town

There bas been a load. breach at tbie

"held the fort" in the telnperanoe hall,
and the captain ,attacked the enemy" in
the town hall. The general threatened
legal proceeding's on Monday, but did not

Willing to submit the difficulty to a com-
tnittee of Army captains, which does not
`suit the general, The captain and all
but a few of the soldiers have severed
their connection with the army, and are
carrying on .the' services among theln-
selves,, having appointed a secretary and
treasurer of their own to manage the fi-
pendia] part. There has been a good deal
of street talk about some of our citizens
who are members of churches joining the
army; and having funds belonging to it in
their possession.. We believe this, is not.
correct; although they have been helping
at the meetings they are not members.
No one appears to know which is in the'
`right; the captain or -ggeeeral; both have
their sympathisers, We might here say
that the captain desires to thank the la-
dles who provided for the banquet, forthe
assistance thus given in making it a suc-
