EXCURSIONS.—The Masonic excur-
sion to Toronto on Monday was only
slimly patronized, about twenty-five
going from here. -The Grange excur-
sion • to Guelph on Tuesday was a
little..hetter, having about thirty-five

been all the better had it been more
thoroughly advertised, the notice be-
ing too short. • .
ACCIDENT.=rho other day, while
Mr W. H. Cook was working at the
bottom of a well, he met with an ac-
cident that was by no means trifling.

head, • inflicting a bad scalp wound,
and injuring bis skull. It was a nar-
row escape from death,
In the classes covering horses, cattle, I ;lir Charles Colville and, wife, of
sheep, etc., the amount of prize -mo
ney has been nearly doubled, because

rected to the horse departments.

tention *ill in the future be devoted
to Horticulture, that department has
been enlarged and greater space will

FINE THEM.—Can nothing be done
to parties that are constantly cutting
shade trees with jack knives., and are
our street lamps to be made targets
for stone throwing, for it takes pretty
good glass to stand that.
DEATH.—The only daughter' of Mr
Peter Cole died on Sunday; she has
horn ailing for some time, and was
a tittle more than ten years old. The
infant child of Mr Geo. Diehl, jr., of
Tor""onto, formerly of Clinton, was
buried here on Monday.
T�I E FALi FAIR.—The directors of

vised the prize list for the coming

cessary,. and additions, where requir-
ed, . In the.horse,,claeaes quite a num-
ber more prizes than usual will be

are to be September 24, 25 and 20.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—A few days
since Mr J, W. Hill, who resides on
the gravel road, just outside of the
town, met with a painful accident.
He had attached several feet of chain
to the halter of his horse, which was
out pasturing, in order that he might
catch it easier. After he had caught
hold of the chain the other day,
something frightened the horse,which
caused it to ,jerk, fastening the end
of the chain in Mr Hill's thumb; at
the same time he was thrown down,
and dragged in this excruciatingly
painful position for a few yards,while
the hook tore itselt from the cords of
the thumb.
WILL UNDERGO IT.—As many of
our townspeople are aware, a Miss
McMullen is dependent on the bounty
of the town council, being unable to
do anything, on Account of a tumor.
Dr Gunn offered to have the growth
removed, free, if the. council would
simply pay for anesthetics, etc.,while
she is under treatment; the same not
to cost more than about $60, and,
a ter carefully considering the matter,
the Charity Committee has decided
to recommend that this be done. If
the operation is successful, which is
altogethecjikely, she will then be
able to do something for herself, and
as she is desirous of undergoing the
operation, it is only humane that
something should be done for her`

field road, belonging to the Perrin
estate.
The sciopticon entertainment given

fall assizes ou the 22nd of October.
The coal house at the G. T. R. sta-
tion, belonging to the Racey estate,
was sold by auction on Saturday,
Harland Bros., being the purchasers.
Fix TitgM.—In different parts of
the town, opposite the gateways, the
water ,tables are worn into' holes, by
the butchers, bakers' and milk carts,
and consequently pools of water are
standing there. If the owners would
put a piece of plank over the ditch,
and have a tying post, it would pro-
tect the ditch from becoming a mud
bole, and also give the drivers some-
thing better to tie their horses to than
a shade, tree.
CORNER STONE LAYING:.-1It W.
Doherty laid one of the corner stones
of a handsome ilei¢ brick church, on
•tile Auburn circuit, on Tuesday last.
This church will replace the one so
ling known as Hoover's. Mr Doher-
ty was •presented with a handsome
eilacr trowel, properly inscribedlAc-
companying him from here were Rev.
J Edge and Messrs Manning and
Sibley. It is needless to add that Mr
Doherty made a veru hend,ome dona-
tion to the subscription list of the
new building.
Bloor street Baptist church,Toronto,
has extended an invitation to Rev T.

A GIRL GRADUATE.—The convo-
cation to be held at Trinity Universi-
ty, the 27th inet., will be of rather un -
signal interest, as Trinity will then
confer the B.A. degree on her first
girl gradua'e, Miss Helen -Gregory,
daughter of Mr S. E. Gregory, and
granddaughter of the venerable Judge
O'Reilly, of Hamilton, as she was
also the first lady to take that of Ms.Bac. from Trinity.—Toronto Erhpire.
[This lady was formerly a member of
Ontario St. choir,,Clinton, and taught
the school near Clinton Cemetery.

A vetry slick swindler is operating.—
Upon entering a place he lays in a
supply of small glasses at an expense
of about 10 cents apiece. These be
fills with earth, into which he 'pleas
a couple of short stalks of milk weed
or any other plant, and then anoints
the earth and plant with attar of ros-
es. He is now prepared to furnish
confiding purchasers with shoots from
the celebrated "Ceylon rose," using
that or some other high-sounding
name, at $1,50 each, and does it as
fast as be can handle them, Those
° people who do not subscribe for their
own local papers are generally the
first to get bitten. M '
IN THE MUD,—In its 'Camp Notes'
the London Advertiser of Friday
said:—The 33rd boys are in the mud.
This expression is not used in a slang
sense—a war correspondent is never
slangy—because the battalion is just
as good as any of the others, and in
numbers is the second largest in the
camp, having apout400 rank and file.
But it is camped in the mud. The
tents of the 33rd are pitched on the
lowest part of the grounds, and the
men have had two nights of pretty
damp sleeping. Some drains were
run away from the tents Saturday„and
no doubt if any more rain comes this
will have an excellent effect in carry-
ing off the water. The 33rd comes
from.the county of Hugon and is nine
companies.strong. Lieut. -Col. Cole-
man, the commanding officer, takes a
fatherly interest in his men, a'nd is
always looking out for their welfare.
Among the old standbys of the corps
is Paymaster Jordon, who has been
in the service since 1863. He has
had a long term of it, but takes as
much interest in the 33rd as ever.

In our report last week of the Horne C ris.Dickson,Clxn t o n
Circle entertainment, the name of
Miss Sibley, as one of those taking
part in the programme, was accident-
ally omitted.

spoken for it.
Mr Geo. McKinley, of Seaforth, a
former student ot the Institute here,

A meeting of the Collegiate Insti-
tute board was held last Thursday
evening, but beyond passing the esti-

special was transacted.
Miss C. Mounts gtle has gone to

Mr and Mrs Simpson. She will no'

COMaiITTED FOR THEFT.—A short
time ago Mr Andrew Courtice, of
Goderich Township, lost a heifer, and.
in his investigations and enquiries
for her, he discovered that its hide
had been sold in Clinton by Robt.
and, W illiam Fleming, two youths,
who had recently started butchering
on their own behalf. Information
was Laid against them, charging them
with stealing the animal, and when
arrested they at once admitted their
guilt. Mr H. J. Hibbs, of the 16th
con., Goderich Township, also laid
information against one of thein on a
charge of stealing a lamb,:and Mayor
Whitehead committed•thetir to jail to
stand their trial. A young man nam-
ed Moffatt, who had driven to Heneall
in company with a girl allowed her
to bring back the lig ane; ie, as• he was
also afraid, of arrest ; he was tele-
graphed for, to act as a witness, and
when he got here was placed under
arrest and also committed.
TOOK POISON,—An old man nam-
ed McCoy, who has been working in
town for some time, swallowed an
ounce- of Paris green on Tuesday,
while under the influence of liquor,
When an effort was made to relieve
him of the poison he resisted moat
strenuously, but was finally gagged,
the stomach pump inserted and his
internal economy .relieved of the
dangerous drug. Other medicine was
administered, and it was thought
that this was all that was necessary
to save bis life. He was placed in a
cell, and shortly afterwards, when
brought out, was found to be in a sink-
ing' condition and nothing that was
done for him succeeded in saving his
life, as he died during the afternoon.
He had a wife at Stratford, to which
place he was removed, It 'scams to
us that in this matter some one fa cen-
surable. Instead of being placed in
a cell and left alone, he should have
been put where he could receive some
'careful treatment, as his system cer- Aman givingthe name of Archie
tennis needed it after it had gone . Mc C anon, was collared by Mr Jos.
Cupp, on Tuesday, on a charge of ob-
taining goods at Hensel), under false

MEAN.—When the Salvation Army
visited Bayfield last week, some of
Bay field's youths amused themselves
by cutting the head of the Clinton
Army drum. $5 reward is offered
by a friend of the Army, for the con-
viction of the parties.
Mr John McLennan, a former stu-
dent of Clinton Collegiate Institute,
and whose name should have appear-
ed before, has passed his first year in
arts, with honors in mathematics, at
Toronto Univereity. The pupils of
this Institute always take high stand-
ing.
Rev A. H. Drumm preached .two
very able and convincing sermons
last Sabbath, in Willis church. The
morning discourse was based upon
the words, "For my thoughts are not
your thotights, saith the Lord,” Isaiah
55, 8 ; add the evening, from Heb. xi,
29, " By faith they passed through
the Red Sea, as by dry land, which
the Egyptians assaying to do were
droirned."
