•A BAD AooinaNT.--On Wednes-
day afternoon Mr Johu Stephenson
inet with a very unfortunate accident,
the result is still in -doubt. He. en-
-tered Davis' hardware store by the
rear door, unaware that a trap door
was open, leading into the cellar
(they having been putting articles
down there,) and he stepped in.un-
observed by anyone, falling to . the
floor below. The fall rendered him
U conscious, and he remained, in .the
cellar for upwards of an -hour, Until
his presence was discovered, when he
was taken home, and medical assist-
ance procured. He could not speak,
and it was a long time before he re•
gained consciousness, not having re-
covered yesterday (Thursday) morn-
ing. No bones were broken, but he
was badly shaken up by the fall; still,
the doctors hope for his recovery.

early in the morning until late at

ning, Mr McUarva On the absence ot
the Mayor and Reeve) occupied the
chair, and briefly stated the object of
calling the meeting, which was to
take the opinion of the ratepayers
concerning .the formation of Joint
Stock Furniture Factory.
Mr Manning, in a long speech,
spoke of the proposed plan, which
was, .in .effect, to Eosin a joint stock
company with a capital of $20,000,
divided up into 800 shares of $25
each. He clearly showed the ad-
vantages of such au establishment,
and urged a favorable consideration
of the matter by the ratepayers.
Mr Menzies spoke briefly coneern-
ing his connection with the scheme,
and stated that the estimate was
about $10,000 for building, machinery,
power, etc., the balance for working
capital.
The chairman then called on seve-
ral of those present to express their
opinions. Mr Stevenson thought the
project would be beneficial to the
town ; we would have no difficulty in
securing the raw material, and al-
though competition was pretty keen,
he was satisfied in a comparatively
ehort time its success would be assur-
ed ; he would advise the manufacture
of specialties.
Mr Perrin was in favor of the
sebeme,and thought something should
be done at once. Mr Forrester, Mr
Irwin and Mr A. Cantelon also spoke 1 Miss Hattie Reid returned to Lon-

About what we are doing at this dull sea-
son of the year. We have our full staff
busily engaged in manufacturing our
Spring Stock of Readymade Clothing,and
in a few weeks we hope to show to the
people of Clinton and surrounding country
a class of readymade clothing that will be
a great surprise to everybody. . In our
very cheap lines we have found it neces-
sary to put the finish and style on them
that would be on a good ordered suit,
therefdre from the cheabest suit we have
to offer to our best suit will be found a
style and finish that would be utterly im-•
possible to procure in ordinary ready-
mades, aild this Season we are bound to
excell all others by placing in our stock
a most complete assortment of the very
newest patterns and cut in the latest
styles, "that no one would detect it from
good ordered clothing. Our rapidly in-
creasing trade in this business - has war-
ranted us.to wade in heavily this season,
and by the 15th of March will demon-
strate fully what we say, and we invite
everybody to pay us a visit whether they
buy or not.
