13ATIVES r,- - heat and barley cut-
ting is general in this section„ and
while it is not right to say that the
wheat erop, will, be a heavy one, h
will be fair. So far as barley is con
ceraed .the fields look well from the
road. Turnips are a failure, and in
utostspees are not coming on Wall.
LONGI OATS.—Mr. Geo. Pope, of
Hullett, yesterday left us s stool of
oats measuring 4 ft. 6 in., nicely
headed•.out-and lookiug as well as any
man could want teem . to. Andrew
McGuire, of Goderich township, goes
him one better, by oats that measure
over five feet high. "There's corn in
Egypt yet."
Too Lora.—We have a six-page
communication, denying a statement
that recently appeared in our Col-
borne news to the effect that a young
man was so badly scared by a wild
cat or some other animal that he had
to take refuge in a neighbor's house,
remained all night. The corres-
entsays the item was entirely
9, and intimates float some
irl:`, motive was at the' bottom of
the -item: We hove -no -means of
knowing anything about it, but we
think sitz pages altogether too much
space to devote to sq trivial a circum
stance.
STILL Booiiso.—When crops are
good people buy Doherty Organs,
and when crops are not extra they
must keep up the music, as evidenced
in the fact that W. Doherty & Co.
had orders for 98 organs ahead last
Monday. This speaks volumes for
'the stability of their ever increasing
home and foreign trade. We were
surprised to see a letter applying for
the Island of Java agency. Java is
off India, on the way to Australia,—
an isle of the rising sun, and this
shows that the Doherty organ is be -
becoming just as celebrated, abroad
as at home.
SPONrANEor5 Co zrn-SrxoN.—Not
long since a farmer neat town.
bought some linseed oil with which
to makea waterproof canvas covering
for his binder. After putting the oil
on the cloth, the same was rolled up,
placed in a waggon in the barn and
left there. ..1. few days later, want -
ting to use the canvas, the farmer
was much surprised to fiud on unrol-
ling it that the inside was all charred
and burnt. He attributed this to the
strength of the oil, but found out lat-
er that it was a case of spontaneous
combustion, and the probabilities are
atdiad it not been discovered just
w • :nit was, the farmer's barn would
have been: "mysteriously" burned.
Farmers c'aroguard against any possf-
'" bility of this n81ure by allowing oil
used in this way io dry cn the cloth
• before rolling it up.
HOME CIRCLE.—MF P. M. Pattison,
of Waterford, Supreme Organizer of
Canadian Home Circles, was in town
last week, and organized Clinton Cir-
cle No.10J,with the following officers:'
Past Leader....Mr S W Perry.
Leader Mr D B Calbick.
Vice Leader... Mrs A 0 Pattison.
Rec.-Sec Mr I Taylor
- Tress
Fin. -Sec..
Chaplain
Marshal
Warden
Guard
Sentinel
Med. Examiner Dr Williams.
Trustees, Messrs Detlor, Calbick
and Perry.
The Circle begins with a member-
ship of 18. After the initiatory ser-
vices of July 201b, the circle adjourn-
ed until the 26th inst. As a charter
has been granted, and also a dispen-
sation of 30 days, in which to receive
persons as charter members, with all
the privileges attached thereto, it is
expected that the membership will
be largely increased. Wherefore, all
who purpose joining should take ad-
vantage of the 30 days, seeing that
iiafter that period the initiation fees
will beta good deal larger for both
allies and gentlemen. Many who
are insured in other companies are
insuring in the Canadian Order of
;Home Circles, and there is no doubt
that this method of conducting insur-
lance seethe to be a very acceptable
one. The Order was incorporated in
1885, and bas made wonderful pro-
gress in a short time, for it has many
features about it, besides its cheap-
ness to recommend. it, Any informa-
tion respecting the order will be
• `' gladly given by any of the officers
' Suffice it to say here, that all persons
between the ages of 18 and 50 are
admitted, and that the amounts of
insurance are respectively €1,000,
$2,000 and -$3000, the -latter being
the highest that is paid by the Order.
The different funds of the Order are
" as follows : ]3enefidaryyrSick-Benefit,
Permanent Total Disability, antl Life
Expectancy Benefit. There is no re-
serve fund, and when the state of the
Supreme Treasury requires it, assess-
ments are made or all the members

ACCIDENT.—The Section foreman
of the L. H. & B„ south of Ibis place,
met with what was near being a ser-
ious accident. Mr Grantham was
on the 6.45 p. m. express bound north ,
and desiring to get off at the Bayfield
road bridge, attempted to jump off
while the train was 84most at full
ipeed, and in doing so he fell back
and was struck by the train. He
was brought to the station here on the
train and it was found on examina-
tion by pr. Williams that no bones
were broke although badly no,
up. He is /n!,
as favorably
as could be'expected, although it will
be some weeks before he will be able
to attend to his duties.
TOE ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—So
lar as this locality is concerned, the
circlfmstances'for observing the eclipse
of the moon on Sunday night could
not have been more favorable. The
sky was beautiful and clear, although
for half an hour before the eclipse
commenced, clouds kept crossing the
c
urse of the moon and threatening
to shut out the view. At 10.35 the
shadow of the earth commenced to
pass across the moon, and at about 12
o'clock the moon was entirely shut out
from view, not the slightest trace of it
being visible in the heavens. It
was not until about 3 a. m. Monday
morning that the moon came fully in-
to view again In town a good many
people remained out of bed to watch
the event.
BIG INDUCEMENTS.—The New Era
says Mr Welsh, of Blyth,was in Clin-
ton the other day looking for a house
to rent. We will be sorry to lose Mr
Welsh as a citizen, and outside of the
High School advantages which we
believe are his reasons for moving—
he dosen't gain much by the change.
It is all right, however, when we get
the C. P. R. through Blyth we expect
about halt of Clinton will be moving
up.—Blyth Standard. [Even if the
High School advantages were the on•
ly ones to be gained by moving to
Clinton, these must be great—as they
are— to induce a man to leave one
town for another. ' When the C. P.R.
runs through Blyth, Clinton will
have embraced the northern village
in its corporation limits. '
R. M. Racey is still booming the

RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY.—At
the last meeting of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen, the following,
resolution was passed by a special
committee compose of 'Messrs R.
Stoneham, J.1lean and ANH.Manning,
and adopted:—Whereas ithaepleased
the Almighty Father in his inscrut-
able Providence to , take away from
Bro. James Stevens the partner of
his life, and thus all upon him to
passthrough the deepest waters of
aillction, and whilst bowing to the
will of Him who is too wise to err
and tco good to be unkind, There-
fore resolved that this Lodge of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen
desires to.place upon record its ex-
pression of the deepest sympathy
with our bereaved brother in the
great loss he has sustained, and the I companied by two friends."' -

UNDER the heading of Londsboro,

THE WEEKLY MARI:Er.— Al-
though our Saturday market has only
been in the experimental stage for a
few weeks, it may now be considered
perch anently established,and has prov-
ed much more successful than was at
first anticipated. On Saturday last
there was an extra good attendance,
and we believe that nearly all pro-
duce was disposed of, The variety
of vegetables exposed for sale by the
gardeners is large and would be ex-
ceedingly creditable in a city, and
people have a choice on the market
that they h not before. Butter
shows a s!;
the pas
ries
ay firmer tendency, as
.es are giving out; raspber•
re made their ap earance and
set at 6 and 7c per lb. New potatoes
are a pretty .good price,but are likely
to come down as the new crop emus
in more freely. The market is now
considered so fairly established that
we believe, at the next fneeting of
the' Council, arrangements will be
of the different circles, for the pur- considered to provide suitable shelter
on the Market Grounds, for all who
pose of paying the claims held against
the Order. prefer to expose their wares for sale
outside.
