and in no case were proven to incrimin-
ate the postmaster. The Inspector
called on a number of our leading busi-
ness men and their testimony was of a
most satisfactory character as far as up-
holding Mr. Grant and the management
of the office. It is to be hoped that this
much talked of matter will be dropped
and before anything of the kind is
thought of again there should be some-
thing at least with the guise of inten-
tional wrong doing.

Foster and S. W. Perry, of Clinton,

says: Mr. Robert Martin, of the Lon-
don road, had a heavy draught team in

sum of $2,000.

clusion of the hearing Edmonds was
arreited on a charge of forgery, and

specially manufactured for the donors
and is a splendid specimen of cabinet
making and upholstery work. This
cless is a model one in its way, 'embrac-
ing a large number of the older mem-
bers of the church. It has been stead-
ily growing under the leadership of
Messrs. Jas. Stevens arid, Manning and
now numbers over 70 members.
—At the first sale held under the
auspices of the Huron Live Stock As-
sociation, on the market square, Clinton,
some ten or twelve years ago, Mr.
Appleton Elcoat, of Tuckerstnith, pur-
chased from the Messrs. Gibson, of
London township, a thoroughbred Dur-
ham cow. This was Mr. Elcoat's first
venture in the thoroughbred stock line:
This cow ultimately proved one of the
most profitable investments Mr. Elcoat
ever made. She gave birth to three
pairs of twin calves in succession and in
the first five years that he had her, he I
cleared $1,000 from the sale of her i1
progeny. Mr. Elcoat kept her until

butcher's meat.
