At a meeting held on Friday even'
tug last, presided over by Mr John
Ransford, the delegates who accom-
panied the deputation to Ottawa and
Montreal, the week previous, made
their report. Mr Manning gaveafull
account, which was very attentively
listened to. Mr Doherty added a few
explanatory words, and afterwards
a hearty vote of thanks was tendered
to these gentlemen for their services.
Perhaps the position of affairs can be
best summarized as follows :--
That the C P R authorities have
stated that the Company intend to
commence the projected railway at
an early date, and probably this year,
a that the townspeople rod the route will be determined by

line of railway was necessary in the
developmeiat of the trade of the im-
portant section of contry through
which it would pass ; that it had been
and still was the policy of the Gov-
erment to, aid the construction of just
such needed lines of railway, and that
if any railway subsidies at all were
given' this road would certainly re-
ceive the usual subsidy. He was,how-
ever, but one member of the Govern=
ment.and it would be necessary for
him to submit the matter to his col-

SETTLED.—The suit of Thompson
vs Smith, which was to have come up
at the last Division Court, but was
adjourned owing to the illness of the
defendant, has been amicably settled
out of court.
MONEY LOST.—On Monday after-
noon last Mrs James Ross had the
misfortune to lose a $10 bill some-
where on Albert St., and on Sunday
evening Mr P. Cantelon lost $17,
which he was carrying loosely in his
pocket.
SUDDEN DEPARTURE. --A young
man named David Denison, who has
been employed in town for seine time,
took a sudden departure on Monday
morning. He had managed to get
ahead of several parties to the extent
of about $50, and was treasurer of the
lacrosse club, which is a loser to a
small extent by his departure.
DIED IN MANIroBA.—Word was
received here on Tuesday that Mr
Henry Washington, (son of Mr John
Washjjington, of Goderich,) had died
near Fairburn, Manitoba, of inflam•
mation• of the b,wels. Deceased
formerly resided in East Wawanosh,
and was married -to a Miss Scrima-
geour, of that township. It was saht id
d not
imily
that the body was being brou
Goderich for interment. We d
learn whether he leaves any :
or not.
THE COLD SPELL.—The " cool
wave" which has prevailed in the
greater part of North America since
Saturday may be regarded as the May
" cold spell," which is berated this
year: It generally reaches this lo-
cality about the 9th. There was a
slight fall of snow on Monday night.
Itis not expected that the cold will
do serious damage, to the crops,though
it may cause farmers some delay.
They, as well as the citizen popula-
tion', may take comfort in the reflec-
tion that the periodical cool spell
from May 9th to May 15th is the last
relic of winter. 'At least we hope it is.
NOT GUILTY.—On Friday after-
noon last a ball game was in progress
at Seaforth, and one of the players
found when the game was through
that a $75 gold watch bad in some
way been lost from his vest, which
hung on a fence near by. It so hap-
pened that three Clinton boys—Mul-
loy, Taylor and Larsoom, were watch-
ing the game, and as they were
strangers 'in Seaforth, suspicion fell
on them and they were taken in
charge until the next morning, but
as there was no evidence whatever
that they were guilty of the theft,they
were released.
ART. --An art exhibition has been
in progress at Toronto for about ten
days, and in its comments tbereof,the

ton :—" In 237 (the pictures go by
numbers) is a change from landscapes

clever study of dead birds, called
' Spoils of the Sable. " When it is
known that nothing but the very best
work in art is admitted to the ex-
hibition, this town may feel proud
that it has an artist whose work is
worthy of a place with that of the
