COUNTY •EXAr1L ERS. — Messrs
Adamson, Turnbull, Halls, Tom and
Mallocb, constituting the Board of
Examiners for the county, met in
Clinton, last week to arrange for the
Model examinations, which will be
held from the 3rd to the lith of Dec..
that of Goderich commencing first.
OLD BUT ACTIVE.—There are not
many couples in the county who are
as active for old people, as Mr T. O.
Cooper and wife, ofthisplace, who
are aged respectively 80 and 74 years,
and are both as lively as can be.
They have spent 51 years in this
country, and their friends hope they
may spend many more.
THEFT.—On Saturday last a tramp
who gave the name of Lauson, stole a
turkey from the front of Moore's
store, and was making off with it,
when be was collared by the proprie-
tor, who handed hint over to Mr
Tedford. The fellow was afterwards
committed to Goderich jail for one
month, for vagrancy.
BAZAAR.—The ladies of St.•Paul's.
church contemplate the holding of
a grand bazaar,on Thursday, Dec. 13,.
in connection with a tea and concert
in the evening. Last year's bazaar
was the biggest kind of a success, and
this year promises to equal if not
eclipse the one held last year. A
large number of useful and handsome
articles will be offered for sale at•very
reasonable figures. Full particulars
later.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Sunday
last the wife of Mr Halliday, who re-
sides near the river, made an attempt
to commit suicide by drinking some
Paris Green. She has been in. de-
pressed spirits for some time, .which
was evidently the cause of her action.
Het husband noticed her taking a
drink, and being suspicious of what
she was doing, be struck the cup in
her hand, and prevented her getting.
as much as she would otherwise have
done. Medical assistance was prompt-
ly called in,emetics administered,and
her life saved.
PECULIAR ACCIDENT.—A. commer-
cial traveller, representing a London
wholesale hardware house, met with
a peculiar and painful 'accident the
.other day, while showing his goods
in a store in this vicinity. He had
on the counter a row of pocketknives
exposed for sale, all open, and the
proprietor asked him if they were all
Rogers', when, with a wave of his
hand across the glittering articles, he
remarked that they were, at the same
time accidentally striking a finger no
one of the blades, which cut thenail
clean off. The wound was dressed up,
but was exceedingly painful. ,
THE SEASON.—Whije:irr this much
favored pottlon of Canada we are en•
joying fine open weather, iu other
portions of the Dominion winter has
begun in dead earnest. In many por-
tions of the Northwest there is ex-
cellent sleighing ; at Sault $te, Marie
.and other _north shore .noint. there
has been a heavy fall of inow; in the
Ottawa region lumbering has been
commenced, with good sleighing, and
at Quebec, on Thursday afternoon,ice
formed so rapidly on the St.Lawrence
that the ocean steamer Oregon had to
clear out without completing. her
• cargo. Lake St.Peter,above.Quebec,
is nearly wholly covered by ice.
- —MISSIONARY.— Froin the annual
missionary report of the , Methodist
Church of Canada the following con-
tributions are credited to places in this
locality:—Wingbam, $176.18; Wrox-
eter, $75; Walton, $116; Blyth,$1.82.-
51; lelgrave,$100.29 ; Listowel,$177,-
95 ; Attwood, $95.48 ; Ethel, $84.60 ;
Clinton, $652.70 ; Lucknow, $93;
Teeawater, $73.28 ; Brussels, $98.68 ;
Londesboro, $193.50; Auburn, 8203.-
80 ; Bluevale, $75,50; Gorrie, $161.46;
Henfryn, $41.53; Goderich, $365.12;
'.Seaforth, $260; •Whitechurch, $83.
Total amount for Guelph Conference,
$17,896.07. The total receipts for the
Society were $219,480, and the ex-
penditures $195,400.54. The mis-
sionary cause evidently has a warm
plate in the hearts of the Clinton
Methodists, 3s the contributions from
this place are larger than from any
other within the Guelph Conference.
A CASE FOR THE LAWYERS.—Mr
D. Cantelon left here last week to
look after the disposal of some apples
that were to go to tbe old country by
the steamer Pomeranian, of the Allan
Line. After he bad left a telegram
was received here from the managers
of the Line, asking that some one go
t$ Montreal and look after the apples,
as there was a possibility of them
being lobt, but this was refused, as
the apples were virtually out of charge
of the shippers. It seems that after
the vessel was loaded, it was found
that too many apples were on board,
and about 400 barrels belonging to
Cantelon & Steep were taken offend
placed on the dock, where they got
frozen, The vessel started, bat got
frozen in again at Sorel, four tugs got
her out of the ice and took her to
within 85 miles of Quebec, when she
anchored and was again frozen in (the
weather being very severe). She is
still there, and it is feared that Ler
entire cargo of apples will all be lost.
Whitely & Edwards,Godericb, as well
as Cantelon & Steep, have a lot on
board, and it is expected that the law
courts will be called upon to 'settle
the damage and place responsibility
on the proper shoulders.

A WILD OAT.—Mr John B: Little,
Of the 1314 gen. of Hullett, was in
town on Wednesday, with the carcass
of a wi)d cat, or lynx, which be bad
shot. It measured five feet from tip
to tip, and had a leg on it like a
yearling cait.
AN IAti'ROVEAIENT FOR RUBBERS.
—Wm. Taylor & Sons have purchased
two of the celebrated "Doney" heel -
plating machines, for the purpose of
putting heel plates on rubbers and
overshoes, thus preventing slipping
on the ice, and making them wear
very much longer. They -have one
in each of their stores, in Clinton and
Blyth. We think it is a decided im•
prove went.
NEW. TEACHER -11r Ethelbert
Hill, of Guelph Collegiate Institute,
and an Honor man in Science of Tor-
onto University becomes the Science
j Master in the Collegiate Institute
here next session. Mr Hill is very
highly spoken of and comes amongst
us with the very best recommenda-
tions. Mr Prendergast, who has been
filling the position since midsummer,
with great satisfaction, will take a
position elsewhere.
SUWIDE.—A telegram from Eat
Saginaw says :—Witlam Herbert, a
painter, 24 years old, died last night
from a dose of ,poison taken with
suicidal intent. His parents live in
Seaforth, Ont. The reason was des-
pondency, resulting from inability to
support his wife, whom he married
five week's ago. [This paragraph has
interest for Clintonians in the fact
that Herbert was one of the principals
in a rape case that occurred here a
few years ago, and which caused a
feeling of righteous. indignation be-
cause of the particularly atrocious
nature of the crime.]
SUDDEN DEATH.—Our readers in
town will learn with surprise and the
deepest regret, of the death of Mr
Wm. C. Ross, of the firm of Beattie
& Ross, livery keepers, which occur-
red on Wednesday evening, after
three weeks' illness. Deceased has
only been a resident of town for a
comparatively short period, but dur-
ing that time he made a great many
friends by his uniform. good nature
and kindliness of disposition. He
was born in Tuckersmith, his father,
the late J:.mes Ross, being one of the
most highly esteemed men of that
township. Mr Ross lived with his
mother, and she has the heartfelt
sympathy of all. The funeral takes
place to -day (Friday) at 12:30 o'clock,
to Egmondville cemetery.
°LITERARY SOCIETY.—The regular
meeting,.•.,. of the Collegiate Institute
Literary Society was held in the As-
sembly room last Thursday afternoon.
Principal Turnbull occupied the chair.
It was decided by the meeting to have
a "bric-a-brac" and consequently
three editors were appointed, viz :
Messrs Bowery and Ross and Miss
Fraser, Mr Bowery to be chief editor.
After various other items of business 11
were discussed the following pro-
gramme was rendered :—Instrumentalj
solo,, Miss Reith ; reading, Miss Carr;
recitation, Master Plummer. Debate.
resolved that Welliogton was a great-
er general than Marlborough. The
affirmative was supported by Messrs
Shortnreed and Graham the negative
by Messrs Ross and Budge. The
chalrmap,after summing up the are -u-
ment of both sides, left the decision to
the meeting, which decided ih favor
of the negative.
OBTAINING. Goons UNDER FALSE
PRETENCES.—On Wednesday even-
ing a young girl about 20 years of
age, went to a store and stated that a
certain lady had sent her to procure
tome goods. The proprietor asked
for a written order from the lady, but
the girl stated that it would be all
right, as the lady was busy, and she
would bring the order in a few min-
utes. Being thus assured, the mer- in position tq make things pretty

A FINE' WORE.—We have rec.ived
from Mr John Lovell, publisher,
Montreal, the prospectus of a national
publication, "Lovell's Gazetteer and
History of the Dominion of Canada,"
in which it is proposed in nine, possib-
ly eleven, volumes, to give a concise
h'story of 10,000 counties, districts,
parishes, townships, cities, towns,
villages, and descriptions of over 3,-
900 islands, lakes and rivers. It will
also contain tables of railways, steam-
boat and stage routes, with a key ;
list of the postoflce with their money
order offices and savings banks ; an
account of the parcels post system
list of the newspapers,magazinee,etc.,
with the nanlres of their editors, pro-
prietors and printers, subscription
rates, when and where published in
each Province, general statistics, etc.
It will embrace a wealth of inf.rma-
tion,with maps and illustrations. The
work will be issued in a couple of
years, after a sufficient number of
subscribers have been secured. It is
a ponderous undertaking.
FOR FURTHER SECURITY Or LIFE
—The Provincial Treasurer has called
the attention of license inspectors to
Cie provisions of the Act passed last
session entitled "An Act for the pre.
vention of accidents by fire in hotels
and ether public buildings," and
which came into force November 1.
It provides, amongst other things,
that a hotel exceeding two storeys
shall have attached to it an outside
stairway or ladder from the landings
o • floors, and extending at toast to
the first storey. In each bedroom
there shall be a fire escape which
will be sufficient within the meaning
of the Act if it consist of a rope long
enough to reach from the room in
which it is kept to the'landing below,
and to be three-quarters of an inch in
thickness. Non-compliance with the
provisions of the Act leaves the hotel -
keeper liable to a fine of $20 for each
offence, and if not paid, to a term of
imprisonment in the county gaol for
n period not exceeding three months.
The order e q,

health, and that it will not be neces-
sary to amputate his leg, as at first
intended.
