W. G;arslake has been very unpleasant and dampening the nopee sick for several days, but is getting of those who bad counted on a fine better. ; Several loads of new hay have been marketed, ranging in prices from $8 a ton up. EAet.ix VEGETABLES.— Neighbor Joe, true to his promise, left us a basket of splendid potatoes, pelts and other vegetables, on Saturday last. Joe has been a good friend to the editor for a number of years. DEATIE OF A FORMER HURONITE.— The old friends of Mr W. Westcott, of Morpeth,to,merly of Tuckersmith, will regret to hear of the death of his wife,which took placeon.l!riday last. The deceased was formerly a Miss bmith, of the 2nd con. of Stauley. Mr Westcott is a brother of Mrs Henry Young, of Clinton. THE MARKET.—Everytbing ,eon- sidered,the market was well attended on Saturday last. All kinds of vege- tables were for sale, and in addition to some excellent butter. there was ri little poultry that found ready sale. As the season advances, and farmers have other things' for sale; •the ad- vantages of the market will be more fully realized. CHANGE,—Dr Dowsley left town on Wednesday, for Belleville, (bis family having preceded him) where he pur- poses residing in future. The doctor's removal creates a vacancy on the Collegiate Institute Board. His pro- fessional successor, Dr Iiorsey,late of Uttawa,is a young mann who is highly spoken of, and will, nn doubt, receive a_share-of business in - this particular 1iae. MOVING BUILDINGS.— Mr John Stephenson has been doing consider- able this year in the way of moving barns, etc„ out in the country, and has lately been adding to the im- provements bf the town. At Mr T. C. Doherty's he has been moving and fixing his barn, and at Mr Haw- kins', near the freight shed, he has very materially improved his house. IioirrS .s_r .=- 3i-r—I3rowirler; of —lsoderich township. left us a bunch of oats this week, which he says is a fair specimen of the crops in Gode rich township, and we do not wonder that ho is at a loss to know how they are to mit it with a self -binder. The bunch, roots and all,does not measure more than'eight inches long, and is out in head. The Lack of rain will certainly be a serious matter for farm- ers in this immediate section. ENTIRE HORSES.—Mr T. R. Mitch- ell, of Westfield, arrived at Clinton last week with four entire horses, which he had pprchased in the old country. They are all first-class ani• male. Mr Mitchell made the trip from Montreal in remarkably fast time. Leaving that city, at 8 p. m. on Tburedy, he arrived at Clinton 'at h b t t ly to be married to a Clinton lady. 9.27 p,m. on Friday,coming by freight were presented and several papers —Mitchell Advocate: Substitute the as far as Stratford, and' from there were read. Dr Worthington read an word "London" for Clinton, and the . being attached to the night train. instructive paper on "Ipjuries of the- paragraph will be correct. The lady Ilrain "relatin cases which bad come d day. What the day was like at Iiin- cardine and London, we know 'not, but we suppose the Orangemen would enjoy themselves even under the most adverse circumstances. For Kincar- dine 157 tickets were sold here, and for London 89. GooD RIDDANCE.—The family of Angus Campbell have left town for Orillia; it would have been better for some people bad their dealings eith him been on the c.o. d. prineiple�,and the same may be said of Mr Pittman, who bas moved away. Thetown can well spare such people. John Daley and family have. moved to Goderich ; be has not the same reputation as those mentioned before him, because he does pay his way, but his weak- ness consists in being his own worst enemy. fLLICIr STILL SEIZED. — Inland Reyen ue Collector Caven ,of Stratford, was in town on Monday, on his way Miss Acheson, of Goderich, has been the guest of Mr D. Calbick, for several days. TIIE town ' will this year pay a county rate of $812.75, being .$6 leas than last year. " THE county Model Scheidt open in Goderich and Clinton on the first of September, MR John Macpherson, of Fingal, spent a few days visiting relations here last,week. TUE.wife-•of Mr Geo ,Cole, of Tor- onto,(aister-in•law of Mrs Jas.Thomp- son) died this Week. THERE has not been a good, soak- ing rain in this immediate vicinity for about four weeks.

Constable Gill took him to Goderich on Tuesday. NOT ACCEPTED. --Oar townspeople .Meeting Room, Pert'tn's Hall, on generally, we believe, will be pleased to know that Mayor Whitehead has declined to accept the resigna- tions of the Reeve and Deputy, Messrs Macmurchie and Manning re- spectively. Although the mayor takes advantage of a technicality (which re- quires all resignations to be witnessed) to refuse the acceptance of their resig- nations, the resultis the same and the town still has the services of two men who have 'shown themselves to be the right men in the right place. We have very little admiration for the plan of settling differences by resigna- tion,: and no doubt we have beard the last if it for this year. The Reeve's apology on Monday evening, was manly and honorable. He fills a place was fined $20 and costs. at the Counett -Bpard_w.hich_-few others Mr John Pleives, wan in Parkhill could do, and he cannot be spared last week visiting with his brother, Mr Jas. Plewes, who has been quite ill lately but is now recovering. position in the C,P.P. central office, Toronto. 'There will be preaching in the Sunday next, at 3 and 7 p. in., by Mr A. E. Boothe. It is reported that no less that four marriages will shortly take place among the membership of one of the town churches. Miss Carson, who has been on the 'other' side, for some time, is now home, as is also her sister, Mrs Hele, of Bellefontains, 0. Mr Doughty, for some time a resi- dent here, has moved to Inglewood, where he has taken a situation in Graham's Woolen Mill. INSPECTOR Paisley laid Information against C Spooner for selling liquor after hours, and on Wednesday he just yet. CA•rrt.u.—Last Saturday one hun-" dred and forty-three head of cattle were weighed here and shipped to the old country. They bad been bought by Mr \V, McLean, and re -sold by him to Mr Morgan, of Oshawa. They were fed .by the following persons,tbe weight also being given :—Hunter & Avery, Stanley, 31. head, 4.2090 lbs ; W-cl-r-ant; -London road 30 head, 41840 lbs.; James Fair, Clinton, 20 head, 23040 lbs ; Jas Brown. Hullett, 3 head, 3770 lbs ; Chris. Dale, jr., Hullett, 40 head,51080 lbs.; G Steph- enson, Hnliett,19,head, 24520 lbs.. It will be reafeiring to farmers t, know that not a word of complaint was. found about the weighing of this entire lot, Mr IC. Welsh, weighmaster, giving entire satisfaction. Farmers may always rely on nim doing this, as he is not a person who will deviate from the path of right one iota, MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. — The re- gular quarterly meeting of the Huron Medical Association was held in the class room of tbetMechanis' Institute, Seaforth, at 2 p.m. on July 10th. The president,,Dr Young, being absent, the vice president, Dr Gunn, occupied the Oak. Severalin res ing .cases MR R. Ransford states that the joint worm this year has done con• siderahle injury to timothy, a crop not hitherto attacked by the pest. Miss Eva Croll, of Parkhill, spent a couple of days among her old friends here last week. She seems to be very much in love with Parkhill (or some one there.) THE stock belonging to the estate of P. W: Hayward was sold by auc tion, on Tuesday, a number of car- riage makers being present. Fairly good prices were realized. THE only unmarried business man in the Union Block was enquiring the price of meat from one of our town butchers the other day. What did he want to know for, anywhow? MR Thos. Smallacombe, late of Hensel', but formerly with Ogilvie & Co„ at Seaforth, now fills the posi- tion vacated by Mr Swallow,at Irwin's Standard' Elevator. That he is a good man for the place is evidenced by his past experience. Rumor has it that the Rev. George Richardson, late of Listowel, is short - LICENSES. -- The Commissioners under his observation.

THE Ilellefontaine, 0., Examiner, of Friday last,saye:—Miss Tillie Car- aCer- amhas returned to her home in Clin- ton, Canada, after n protracted visit to relatives and friends in this city. She was accompanied by her sister, Mrs W. I1. Hele, and Mrs S. A. Mc- Colloch, who will speed the summer on the Canadian shores. Miss Car- son made many friends during her sojourn among our people, and her departure for home is regretted by them all, DEATH or MRS MAcwiu rsoi.— The many, friends of Mrs John Mac- wbirter, formerly of this place, were more than surprised to see the an- nouncement of her death in the Globe; at Port Dover, on Thursday of last week. Deceased bad not been in good health since confinement last De- cember, and went to Port, Dover in- tending to spend the summer there, but bad contracted a cold, which troubled her.
