THE BEATTY LINE.—Mr A. Stuart,
representing the Northwest Transporta-
•tion Company, was in town this week.
The first. steamer is expected to leave
Goderich next week, .and parties who wish
to go can procure all information from
Mr A. 0. Pattison, station agent.
A Towe- CLoex—For some time past
there has been considerable talk about a
clock for the tower of the Town Hall. We
understand that a good clock would soon
• pay for itself, and it certainly would be a
very great convenience to the town. Reeve
DlcMurchie bee been agitating the matter
for some. time, and we would like to see
him get some scheme into good workable
shape.
BURNED OUT.—Mr W.. Grummett, of
Hepworth, who formerly worked with
Mr Biggins, of the London Road, had
the misfortune recently to suffer a heavy
Loss by the burning of his stables, &c. It
seems that he went.out to_do-some. ark,
earplug a lantern'on his arm., The bot-
tom became unfastened and fell our, set-
ting the straw on fire, and making such
headway that he could save nothing but
-„bis live stock.
LICENSE COMMISSIONERS.—Me,srs W.
Drummond, Blyth ; Jas. Stevens,Clinton ;
S. Sloan, Gnderice , • lecense Inspectors
for the West Riding, and W. J. Paisley,
Inspector, met At Godes eh on Tuesday,
for the purpose of' issuing wholesale licen-
ses under the Canada Temperance Act.
lir Stevens was appointed chairman, and
licenses granted to Wilson & Riley,
Goderich ; J. A. McDonald, Blyth i A.
Worthington, Clinton; C. E, Williams
and Dr Fowler, Wingham. This is two
less than were granted last year.
SERVES 'meet RIGHT.—Some Clinton -
lens have been losers by a swindling con
cern in Cincinnati, which advertised that -
the St. Andrew's Bay Land Company, of
Florida. would sell lots of forty acres
$2.50. Fully $250 was sent from • Ori
taro town by credulous f i : tors, who
have been duped, th- easurer of the
company, "Guy W •.•er by name, having
been arrestee :n Sunday at Ciucinnati
for mis g the United States mail ; in
etwords for swindling. One cannot
eadily feel sorry for such foolish or such
grasping people.
THAT LIBEL CASE.—In giving the par-
ticulars -of the case of Perdue vs. Clark, in
our report of the Assizes last week, we in-
advertently omitted to mention that the
verdict for $1 was in favor of the Plaintiff,
as, of course, all acquainted with legal
terms would know. Tho verdict vindi-
cates Miss Perdue and is virtually an ac-
knowledgment that the letters complain-
ed of were libellous.' We think there has
been- a- great -deal- of -un-founded suspleien
expressed in various quarters, which was
quite. unjustifiable,. and we trust that the
whole matter has now received its quietus.
DEATIH OF A PIONEER+. --Hugh 'Ball,
who died in Goderich, on Saturday last,
at the advanced age of 88 years and u.
months, was truly one of the pioneers of
:Huron, having settled on the base line,
on the farm now occupied by Mr. T. Mc-•
Illveen,in the year 1837—just 5013:ears ago.
He was,,born in the County of Cavan,Ire-
]and, and canis to Canada in 1827, resid-
ing in Darlington for some time, and was
an active participant in the rebellion of
'37. About ten months ago he went out
of his 'mind, and became so dangerous
that it was deemed best to have him plac-
ed in the jail for sale -keeping, and he -re-
mained there up to the time of his death,
-He was the father of nine children, the
my surviving one of which is Mrs. W.
enton, of the Huron Road, Goderich
township.
PROPERTYCHANGES.--Mr D McCorvie
has bought a lot on the eastern limit of
Rattenbury street, from Mr John Boles,
paying therefor the stmt 6f$175s• Mr W.
11. Cooper has disposed of a small lot
owned by him in Wingbam. . Mr Got don
Perrin bas bought two lots just west of
the Presbyterian manse,'from Mr T. Hol-
loway, paying therefor the sum of $400 ;
we understand that he intends to erect
ttvo cottages thereon. Mr R. McMurray
has sold lots 15 and 16, Gordon survey, to
Mr Thus Monahan, for the sum 'of $150.
Mr Jas. Sheppard has bought of the
Bache estate the two lots immediately
west. of Mr Martin's residence, Huron st ,
paying theretirr $160 ; he is fencing it and
will build thereon next year. Mt C.
Overbury has bought from the same estate
lots 943 and 948, Osborne street, at $100
each.
TOWN COUNCIL.—A special meeting of
the council was held on Monday evening.
The Mayor explained that a petition to
is
e Parliament of Canada had been sent
to him for s gnathre, from- J; J llawkins,
of Brantford, Secy. of the Brantford, Wat-
erloo & Erie R. R., and that the princi-
pal business of the meeting was to author-
ize him and the clerk to sign the petition
on .behalf of the council. Messrs. Jar.
Fair, W H. Perrin and Reeve and Deputy
addressed the counctl on the matter, after
which it was resolved that fin's Isetition be
signed by the Mayor and Clerk of the
municipality, and forwarded to the proper
Authorities, anti in the event of any other
Company whose projected lines are likely
to benefit the town, requesting co-opera-
tion in a similar manner, that, upon the
request of the Railway Committee of the
town, the mayor and clerk be authorized
to sign such petition.
TEMPERAtot; MEETINGS, — The meet-
ings being held this week by Rev. 11lr.
Burgess have been, on, the whole, well at
tended, and no doubt a fresh stimulus will
be given to the temperance; cause, It is
very difficult to present to an audience
any fresh phases ..o'this great moral .gt'es
tion, although Mr.'Burgese )ads evidently
succeeded in 'both entertaining and in-
strutting his bearers. -.de makes a num-
ber.of good points, but their force is weak-
ened by too much irrelevant matter, as
reason and logic reaches man's convictions
better than appeals to his sense of humor.
Of course Mr. Burgess qualifies this by
stating that the object is to entertain while
at the same time being instructive. The
singing of his son and daughter forms a WE HAVE
considerable portion of the evening's pro-
gram,,'ne. Thiegvening Mr. Burgess will
speak on "Wages and Whiskey” or
" Labor and Liquor," in Ontario street
church.
RAILWAY NOTES, — Mr. McCallum, a
conductor on the L. 13. & B. has been laid
up with inflammation of the bowels, but
is improving. It was reported that Con-
duetor Warner, who recently drew a prize
of$15,000, had resigned his position, but
such is .not the case, as be hassronly been
off for a few days owing to illness.. A car
load of old bones were sbipped from Clin-
ton station this week; one wonders where
they all come from. Mr McLean made a
shipment of cattle to Buffalo last week.—
Mr Fair -made a large shipment of flotto
Liverpool the other day. Mr A. McDon-
ald takes Mr Petfield's position as section
foreman, the latter being removed on ac-
count of sotne difficulty with the authori-
ties. •
BateFs.—Mr. Hugh Thomson, of St.
Marys, (importer and breeder ofShorthorn
cattle) was in this neighborhood last week
and inspected the Elmhurst Herd ofS'hort-
horns and some others around here, with
an intention of purchasing some good
stock. Mr S. Mercer itelRnaking additions
and improvements to his house Mr. John

Mr, J. C. Stevenson went up to Goderich
on Sunday, for the ,emains of the late
Hugh Ball, but as it is a rule of the jail
that no corpse shall be taken therefrom
withciut an inquest, he had to wait until
Mendtiy before the, body could be pro-
cured. Mrs. Smith, of Goderich, mother
of Mrs. John Robertson, is visiting here.

recently received from Boston ; its mother
is valued at $1000. Miss Ida Moore has
taken a situation in the store of Mr. J.
Robertson. The Brussels Post perpetrates
this joke at the expense -of a former Clin-
tonian:—"George Theobald, of Teeswater,
spent his Easter- holidays with friends in ,
towere•it ie reported -that George -will take l
in .Hamilton next fall by way of Brussels."
