The store was tastily decorated and was crowded with sight seers from seven to ten, Some dresses made up by Miss Correll drew great attention. Beesley's opening was indeed a creditable one, and was displayedtothe best adstantage. The goods were most artistically arranged, and the styles bewildering and attractive. Miss Lack evidently understands the: business thoroughly. - --.4 Zinn Z)011100. DEBATE --Three members of the Collegiate Institute will hold a public debate at Blyth, on the evening of the 22nd, with three speakers from that neighborhood. The question to be discussed is ".A Limited Monarchy vs. a Republic—which is the best ?" Clinton speaks in favor of the Re- public. FOOT BALL. --A meeting was .to have been held in the Collegiate In- . stitute on Saturday, the 6th of April, for the purpose of organizing a Dis- trict Association in connection with the Westein Foot Ball League, but as Clinton did not take a decided step in the matter, the meeting was post- poned. .At a former meeting Messrs Dewar and Langton were proposed as candidates for the Presidency of the district. FIGHTING. --OR Saturd last a fight took place in a stable, between Isaac Brownlee and Thomas Carter, wherein the latter got pretty roughly handled—some think no more than he deserved. Carter was evidently the aggressor, as Brownlee tried to keep out of his way, (there having been an old grudge between them but Carter was bent on fighting, and the other seemed to;bave acted mainly on the defensive. Both parties were summonsed by Mr Tedford for a breach of peace, and Brownlee was the only one who appeared. The case was tried before Mr McGarva, on Wednesday, who considered that there had been a breach of the peace, but in view of the fact that. Brownlee was not' the a nominal aggressor, finof $1. 'A warrant haosed s been issued for the arrest of Carter. "ALL-SPICE"—A very good house greeted J. W. Bengough, the well known artist of Grip, last Thursday evening, anis outside of his ,Jiketcues there was a great deal of amusement in his " Munchausen", talks. He made a couple of capital hits by his crayon portraits!of some of our towns- people, but the best things in the programme were his " Home Rule speech" and the "Amateur recitations and songs," Between the sketches he impersonates some one who is sup- posed to be reading or singing at an amateur entertainment, and the way in which he did it, took immensely, Although Mr Bengough is good and amusing, bis services come too high to realize much as a net gain from an entertainment. He was paid $35 and his expenses, which certainly did not aet}ve much for the association bring- ing him here. HURON COUNTY MEDICAL Assn - battle lineal Items.

We question if a town of its s Canada can produce so many y people who are what is know "church workers" .as can the to Clinton. A very large proporti the young people here are me of some church—not adherents ply -and they are growing up men and women of greater or ability, that' 'should be power good in the coming years.

Mr Ted- ford occupied the chair, and -the fol- lowing programme was rendered :— Violin solo, Mr Shearer, with Mrs Shearer as accompanist'; solo, Miss Greig; selection' by the. Quar- tette Club, Miss •Walker and Messrs Kay, Harland and Foster; solo, -Mr McCallum ; address, " Man and his destiny," Dr. Horsey; second selection by the Quartette Ciub.— Those who took part in the musical part of the programme are too well known to Clinton audiences to re - 'quire comment ; seffce to. say --ap- preciation is winning ground, also Clinton people are being assured of something rare, when favored with the presence of Dr. Horsey. He has delivered several addresses here, al- ways in connection with church.so- cieties, but we predict that the town hall, with an overflowing audience, will greet him, When he can be pro- cured to address us again. " Man andihis destiny" was handled briefly, yet in such a manner that the speaker accomplished his aim, namely, to leave deep impressions, more by ap- peals to common sense than by intri- cate deductions. The doctor would be a very useful instrument to the Master, were he to decide for the pulpit, but who can estimate the potver be has over the large circle of young tiesdhavepeople, and always ich his wiillla abili- rawto him, when he comes out and reasons so ably and impressibly with them on such momentous questions as these Mr S.

The cases are carefully examined, after which they are all discussed, and the different ideas of treatment brought out, often to the benefit of the patient.
