ACCIDENT.—On Monday while at
work in his own building, Mr W.
Cooper by some means fell into the
cellar; be was rendered unconscious
by the fall, and when found by one
of the workmen was just reviving.
A doctor wits called in, but no bones
were broken, and beyond a severe
shaking up he was uninjured.
DiAIfL A BEAST OP HIMSELF.—A
man- who is said to reside near Bei -
grave -went to London Fair last week,
and while in the city got beastly
drunk. When he started for home
he was aq helpless that he laid down
on the baggage car floor and covered
it .with bis evacuations and made the
air blue with his profanity. He was
eeidentlrashamed to go to his home
in his bestial condition, as he got off
at Blyth,
MUST NOT BE.—A gentleman who
visited the cemetery a short time
since, complains to us that while he
was there a number of hogs were
running around the place. He did
not tfeqthem do much damage, but
very properly thinks that they should
not be allowed in. The caretaker is
a very careful and painstaking man
and would not allow ,.anything of
this kind to happen if he knew it,
And we trust, for .the satisfaction of
those ; holding lots (there, that the
fences will be kept as secure as pos•
bible.
A BID Loss.—On Thursday last
Rev Jas. Livingstone attended the
Western Fair, having with him a
gold -beaded cane presented him by
his former congregation at Blenheim.
The dal being cold, he shoved his
hands into his overcoat pockets, and
had the cane tucked under his aim,
while he stood viewing the horses.
After some time he missed the cane,
and thinking possibly that he had
dropped it, diligent, but unsuccesssul
search was made for it, and he came
to the conclusion that it had been
stolen from. him, but be received
word this week that it had been found.
TRYING TO BEAT.—A conductor
told us the other day that the num-
ber of people who try to beat their
way on the railroad is astonishing.
Only last week on one of the trains
running into London, a man was
found secreted on the forward end of
the -baggage-car, and he was a man
who woul# be ashamed to see his
name fit Tint, He was willing to
rieltitli IIt by sitting on an insecure
placer/aril/eke all .the cinders from
the locomotive, for the chance of sav-
ing a dollar. Then expired tickets
or those;bwhich have been rode upon
but not collected by a previous con-
ductor, are often presented, and the
man who "just lost his ticket" is
more numerous than bees in June.
TO BE CONGRATULATED.—At the
Westefh lest week, Mr W. J. Big-
gins took a'second prize with his im-
ported -shorthorn cow, Red Rose, and
a• third for aged ow. When it is
known that Mr Biggins ..was a com-
petitor against the Bow Park stock,
(which is considered the finest in the
world) it shows the excellenee of the
animals be is the owner of. The
London Evening Speaker thus al.
]odes tt► liim : W. J. Biggins, Elm-
hurstFarm, Clinton; gained a second
with.the•imported Red Rose. In the
three-year old cows he ran T. Nelson
& Son hard for the first place, being
her inferior only in weight. This
exhibitor took third position in the
aged cows, with Matchless of Elm-
hurst VI.
ACCIDENT.—An elderly lady named
Mrs Winslow, of Horton Street, Lon-
don, arose at an early hour Saturday
morning with the intention of taking
'her departure for a trip' on the Lon-
don, Huron & Bruce. She was bustle
ing about tbe house, and in conse-
quence of the prevalent darkness
failed to observe that the door com-
municating with the cellar was not
fastened. As a result she fell to the
bottom,'•and, being a very heavy lady,
she sustained considerable bruising,
besides breaking her thumb, Al-
though
lthough not very seriously hurt beyond
the breaking of the digit, she suffered
a severe shock but took the journey
nevertheless. She is 'a sister-in-law
of Mrs H. Tewsley, of this town, and
is now visiting her sister in Morris
township.
WE 00 STILL BETTER.—The Strat-
ford Herald tells of a man of that
vicinity offering the magnificent sum
of $1 for tying the:nuptial knot. The
minister had the newly made hus-
band promise to send the balance
but it brie never arrived. That is
nothing to what a Woodstock clergy-
man once did. He was presented
wi:h 25 cents as payment for perform-
ing the important ceremony as the
man (bought it was only worth that.
Quick as !thought the minister put
bis hand into bis pocket and gave
him ten cents change, and the man
thus paid 15. This is the cheapest
marriage on record. — Woodstock
Standard, Go slow, just for a min-
ute, as we can go you one better than
this. A couple once called on a
Methodist minister in this vicinity
and asked to be married, after the
ceremony the groom turned to the
minister and remarked "i'm very
much obliged, mister; so long," and
before the agtoniahed clergyman
could rccovcr his compcs.ire, the
cenple wrre r.ut and away.

LIcJINSFA.—One, evening this week
a citizen of tbia .town, being some-
what excited, purchaeed two dollai:s
worth of matrimonial documents.
What's he going to do?
APPLES.—Mr H. J. Hibbs, of Gode-
rich township, this week shipped two
car load of apples to London, Eng.
Mr D. Cantelon shipped five cars to
Hull, Eng., and. five to Chicago. .
No less thaq fifty cars were >'tandIed
at Clinten station on Tuesday, and
four freight trains were busy in the
yard at one time. This will give an
idea of the large business done at this
station.
VARIATIONS.—It rained, it hailed,
it snowed, and the sun shone like
midsummer, on Saturday last, so that
we had all kinds of weather that day,
and we had to take it, whether we
liked it or not.
FOR, MANITOBA.—Mr Angus Mc-
Phail, of Carberry, Manitoba, who
has been visiting his parents at Por-
ter's Hill, returned yesterday to the
far west. He was booked through by
W. Jackson, C.P.R. agent.
THE HUB LEADS.—Clinton is now
considered the most important postal
centre in the county; it has long
been the most convenient railway
point ; is admitted to lead in educa-
tional matters, and before long will
be the county seat.
GENEROUS.—A gentleman iu town,
who is a man of means, offered to pay
the expenses of a young man to In-
dia,if he would go out as a missionary,
but it was not accepted. However,
at' the Salvation Army jubilee in
G,aderich, last Friday night, this same
gentleman gave a check for $125, to
be used for the same purpose..
J. 8. MURPHY.—Mr J. S. Murphy,
of Kerry Gow fame, will appear in
the -great Irish play, Shaun Rhue, in
the Town Hall, Monday, October 15.
Crowded houses have already greeted
Mr Murphy in this place, and we
have no doubt there will be a big
house on the oc asion of this, his
third visit. Plan of hall at Jackson
Bros.
WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS MUST BE
TRUE.—Said a former Clintoniari on
his arrival here the other day, after
an absence of some time, " The town
has grown so much and been so great-
ly improved by new buildings, that I
really would not know the place.
You have some splendid stores and
residences here, and the place seems
bound to keep going ahead."
SOME MEN MAKE MONEY.—A
farmer informed us the other day
that last fail he bought a number of
young cattle at $18 a head; he kept
them over the winter and sold them
the latter, part of May last at an
average of $59. each. They had not,
in the time he kept them, consumed
one pound of meal or grain, having
been entirely grass-fed. He happened
to be well situated for pasturage.
NEEDS REPAIR.-- Farmers have
repeatedly called our attention to
the fact that the London Road, from
the town corporation to Granton, is
in a bad state of repair. If this is
the case it should be remedied with-
out delay, even though it is late in
the season, and it is the duty of the
Stanley and Tuckersmith pathmast-
ers for that section to give the mat-
ter their immediate attention.
TEMPRANCE UNtoN.—At the an-
nual meeting of the W.C.T.U., Clin-
ton, last week, the following officers
were elected : President, Mrs W. S.
Harland ; 1st Vice President, Mrs J.
Edge ; 2nd Vice, Mrs May; 3rd Vice,
Mrs Burchill ; Treasurer, Mrs Biddle -
come ; Corresponding Secretary, Miss
White; Recording Socretary, Miss J.
E. Robinson ; Auditor, Mrs Geo. Do-
herty. Mrs Biddlecome was appoint-
ed a delegate to attend the W.C.T.U.
convention to be held at Sarnia next
week,
,ONE ON THE EARLY PRIZE WIN•
NERS.—It will not be generally
known, but it is nevertheless a fact,
that the Rev John •Gray bad the
honor of bringing from the Provincial
Exhibition into the county of Huron,
the first prize for mechanical work
ever broughthito the county. It was
iri.the year 1858 the show being held
at Toronto, and the article taking
.fret prize was one of the farmous
Slitmade by then :plain "John
;.Garay." • Though this gentleman long
'ago donned -clerical robes, he thinks
"hitt; hand has not lost its cunning"
and he.can make just as good a plow
as he ever did.
A PROPER CHANGE.—The Postal
authorities have given instructions
that the Varna mail, which has hith-
erto been carried by way of Seaforth,
shall hereafter be carried by the Bay-
field stage to Clinton, and although
the new arrangement will be more
satisfactory in the end and cost less,
the Seaforth people are in high dud -
1 geon about it, not that they care so
much tor the Varna people as they
do for themselves, `Phis is what the
Expositor says about it:—"It is a
mean, small piece of business from
beginning to end, and is alike dis-
creditable to all concerned in bring-
ing about the change. This, bow -
ever, i only another of the many ex-
amples of the manner in which the
present Government prostitutes the
(,'ublic service to advance partizan
ends and make party capital."
A REMARKABLE DREA o. — On
Thursday morning last when a cer-
tain gentleman well known to many
of our readers, came down to break-
fast in the hotelhe was stopping at
not in Clinton) he incidentally
mentioned to those present that he
had had a horrible dream in the
night, to the effect that while he
stood watching a balloon e;cension
he saw a man banging to the canvass,
who dropped while was watching him
and was killed. Nothing particular
was thought of the dream until shortly"
after, when, on the arrival of 11 •
Globe, it was learned that oh the pre-
vious day a young man had been
killed at Ottawa in the identica:
manner indicated in the dream. The
party had no previous knowledge
whatever of the circumstances,further
than he had witnessed the ballon
' ascenions at Toronto.
