Civic HOLIDAY. --The Mayor has,
in response to a requisition, proclaim-
ed the 2nd of August a Civic Holiday.
A counter petition was circulated to
have another day fixed, but it was
afterwards withdrawn.
Bea CROWDS.—The crowds that
promlaade Albert street Saturday
evenings is something extraordinary.
From eight until ten o'clock it is im-
possible to make any headway on the
sidewalks, and the streets are gener-
ally black with teams.
That wide circle of people who
have watched with interest the case
of Mrs Wm. Cantelon, of this town,
will be much pleased to know that
she is now almost entirely out of
danger, and will be able to sit up in
a few days. The operation and her
recovery are proofs of the advance-
ment of Surgical science.
Rur AWAY.—A horse belonging to
Mr Thornton Wallace, of Hullett,
came into town by way of the Sea -
forth road the other day,with nothing
attached to it but a pair of shafts,the
balance of the buckboard having
been left in the road. 'Mr W. Wal-
lace was in a field when the horse
who has rooms in the Victoria Block, ran away, and therefore received no
over Twitchell's store, is prepared to injury.

HIGHER PRICES.—A scarcity of
live stock in the old country, has
caused` a slight adancemeut, c - per -
lb Ib , in price, If this scarcity keeps
up it will be a good thing for the
Canadian stock,raiser. Wheat has
also advanced in price, consequently
flour bas !gone up, and bread here
shows an advance of lc per loaf.
A S1'ARROW CostsitTS NURDER.—
improbable as the following appears
at first, a Clinton business.man,whose
word is unquestioned, vouches for its
truth. While on his way down town
the other morning, he noticed two
sparrows fighting on the edgeofa run-
ning stream, and he watched them
just to see what they would do. Both
birds fought viciously, and at last one
caught the other by the neck and de-
liberately held it beneath the water
until it was drowned.
HURON CENTRAL EXHIBITION.—
The President, Mr A. H. Manning,
and several of the directors of the
Exhibition Society, have this week
been canvassing for subscriptions,and
have met with a most liberal and
cordial reception. The townspeople
realize that herculean efforts are be-
ingsmade Ito extend the usefulness
and attractiveness of the Exhibition,
and.are generously coining to the as-
sistance of the managers. This is as
' it should be. If everybody will help
success becomes an assured fact.
THE CROPS. —No political, social
or moral question possesses the inter-
est for the agriculturist just now, as
does the question of the success or
otherwise. of the crops. Judged by
looks only, the crops in the county of
Huron promise to be the best that
have been harvested for about six
years. Farmers tell us that hay will
average about three tons to the acre,
but some consider this slightly over
the average. Fall wheat looks un-
usually good, and has not yet been
begtep down to any appreciable ex-
tent. Oats promise a heavy yield,
with good length of straw. We are
told that rust is slightly affecting
this crop, but hope the fears express-
ed may ;be groundless. Other crops
also promise well, and the next two
weeks are of vast importance to the
people of Canada. There will be
little or no fruit in this section. The
farmers hereabouts have every reason
to feel the reverse of "hopeless and
helpless."
A•SAD AFFAIR.—During the labor
riots iu Duluth a few days ago, where-
in the police were compelled to fire
upon the strikers, a boy named Thos,
Fitzsimmons, son of Mr /lately Fitz-
simmons, formerly of Clinton, was
struck by a stray bullet, from the ef-
fects of which he died. The inquest
showed that he had no connection
whatever with the affair, as he was
on the sidewalk minding his own
business when he was struckin the
left side by a bullet from a police-
man's revolver. He was taken to
the hospital where he received the
best of care and attention, the city
authorities doing allthat was possible
for him, but to no purpose. He was
a promising youth of 18 years,having
been born in Clinton, to which place
his remains were brought for inter,
ment.
THE OLDEST R. R. CONDUCTOR.—
• ' Little Local Items.
Mr Jos. Allaneon commenced cut-
ting his barley yesterday.
Haying is now nearly over, and the
crop, a good one, has been secured
in fine shape.
Harland Bros. are improving the
front of their store. The Rattenbury
House is being re -painted.
Mr W. McLean, the well-known
cattle dealer, has purchased as many
as 1300 animals in one month:
At Clinton last Friday 275 tickets
were sold. for Wingham and 131 for
Exeter—the points celebrating the
12th.
°DDFELLOWS. —At a recent meet-
' in'g of Clinton lodge No. 83 I.O.O.F.
the following officers were installed.
by Judge Tom's, D. D. Cr. M., assisted
by brethren from Hensel], Goderich
and other places :—
Robt. Logan, J. Y. G.
Rich. Stoneham, N.G.
C. J. •Stevenson, V.S.
Fred '.Alcock, R..S.
J. H.-Worsell, P. S.
Robt. Logan, Treas.
Mr Worsell was elected as representa-
tive to the Grand Lodge,which meets
in St. Catharines the 2nd week in
August.
TSE TwELFTx.—If it had been or-
dered for the occasion, finer weather
could not have been engaged than
was experienced on the 12th inst.,
and the Orangemen had a good day's
outing. The Clinton members and
some of the neighboring lodges went
to Exeter, while other of the lodges
went to Wingham, in both of which
places very large gatherings took
place. The speeches delivered appear
to have been of the usual 12th of
July character, with the addition of
the Jesuit and French language ques-
tions,whieli were given prominent
places in the speeches. •
RATHER' DISCOURAGING. — 'The
people of this section are keenly in-
terested in the cropprospects of
Northwest, and the be-
cause there are so many here who
have relations there. Several letters
received from the west—Dakota and
Manitoba—speak in rather despon-
dent tones of the crop outlook, the
drouth of June having so much re-
tarded growth that the light rains of
July have not enabled the crops to
recover themselves, Some letters
have intimated that the crops there
would, in certain sections, be a com-
plete failure, but it is to be sincerely
hoped that these gloomy forebodings
may not be realized. The west has
hardly yet had a fair -chance to show
what it can do in the way of grain
raising under faporable.circumStances.
Mr G. A. Smith, of Galt, a gentle-
man well known in Clinton, has been
appointed science master of Parkdale
High School.
Mr John Gibbings was yesterday
elected School Trustee in St. Andrew e
Ward, Messrs Glasgow and Jackson
declining to stand.
Mr W. H. Pay, of St. Catharines,
brother of Mr Geo. E. Pay, Clinton,
has been appointed roadmaster of
the Niagara Central Railway. He is
well qualified for the position.
The youngest child of Mr James
Teweley, died at Goderich on Satur-
day, and was buried in Clinton on
Monday. The child had never been
in good health, and death was really
a relief to it.
A deputation from Clinton council
were in town on Wednesday, looking
into our electric light system, with
which they appeared highly pleased,
as far as it has gone.—Mitchell Ad-
vocate.
Mr J. C.' McIntosh, formerly of
Bayfield, who was anextensiye writer
'on "The Mark 'of the Beast," and
other scriptural subjects,and had in
his day contributed to the columns
of the NEW ERA, died at Exeter, on
Sunday.
The following militia appointments
have been made .-33rd Huron Bat-
talion, No. d Company, Clinton—To
be lieutenant °provisiogally, Private
Hugh Barry Combe, vice Edward
Costello Coleman, resignation ac-
cepted. To be second lieutenant pro-
visionally, Harry Torn Rance, • vice
James Young. ,
The address delivered by Mr Man-
ning before the Teachers association
here, appears in the current number
of the Educational Journal, Toronto.
It was printed also in a Saturday edi-
tion of the Globe,and he has received
many letters from prominent educa-
tionlists in Canada and the States
commending the views expressed in it.
A large party of young people en-
joyed a day's outing at Bayfield on
Tuesday, One of the ladies, noted
both for her oratory and beauty, was
so engrossed with the scenery on the
road out (making mental sketches)
that she lost her umbrella another
lost her jacket, and when they all
got back at midnight they vowed
they "had the biggesttime under the
sun." •
" Rambler," in the Traveller's Ad-
vance, thus refers to a person well -
know in this vicinity :—I have been
enabled to give in this column the ex•
perience of several conductors of the
G. T. R., as going to prove that a
traveller is about as safe on a train
as by other means of locomotion.
The other day I had a chat with a
gentleman who claims to be the oldest
passenger conductor in Canada, I
refer to Mr Daniel Holmes, of the 0.
W. division, but who was for many
years on the Buffalo and Goderich
division of the G. T. R. He is called
"Dan" by his thousand friends, and
he is deemed "pernickety" by those
who do not know him well. " I have
been a conductor for 35 years," said
Mr H., "and I have never lost or,in-
jured a passenger. Though running
for over 30 years on the Buffalo
branch, I was never west of Wood-
stock until transferred to the main
line for duty."
FINE CAT rr.E,—On Tuesday .Mr
W. McLean shipped a number of
cattle here, among them being 40
head purchased of"Kitty"Dale, Hul-
lett, that averaged 1450, and 36 pur-
chased of Mr W. Grant, Stanley,
that averaged 1417, after having
shrunk 12 hours. Tese cattle were
considered by good judges, Mr Mc-
Lean included, as being among the
very.best that have been raised in
the {county. They were {well select-
ed in the first place, well fed during
the winter, and then turned out to
grass this spring, and were what
might be termed "finished cattle."
Men like these deserve a good deal of
credit, and get their reward in the
enhanced profits. If there were
more like them in the county it would
be well.
RESIGN PD—.Mr E. J. Hill, M. A.,
Science Master in. the Collegiate In-
stitute, tendered his resignation last
Thursday, having accepted a similar
position at Guelph. The Board could
have held hire on to the completion
of his engagement, had they desired
to do so, but at a meeting they de-
cided to accept his resignation, not
.e wishing to stand in the way of,any
teacher that thought he could better
himself. although it puts them to a
little inconvenience in securing a
substitute. As a successor to Mr
Hill is being advertised for, the In-
stitute will re -open after the,holiday4
with a full and efficient staff. Mr
Hill will be missed in both school
and church circles, he being one of
the active members of the Baptist
Church.

RUNAiVAY ACCIDENT.—On Tues-
day afternoon Mr Morrison, of the
18th con., of Hullett, had rather an
expensive runaway accident. He
left town, having an old gentleman
named Martin in the ' buggy with
him, just as they were going down
the slope on the base line near the
slaughter houses,' the snap on the
breeching strap gave away, and as
the buggy pressed on the horse it
caused it to run away. Morrison
did his beat to pull the horse up, and
might have succeeded had not the
-front axle broken, and the
speed of the horse threw the buggy
and its occupants over against the
fence, Mr Martin being somewhat in-
jured about the chest. The horse be-
ing free from the buggy, ranalong
the road to where it is crossed by the
railroad, and jumped the east cattle
guard, ran along the track. Near
the tank is a long bridge, and the
horse galloped along the ties on the
bridge until it was nearly over when
one of its legs dropped through one of
the openings, and snapped like a
pipe -stem. While the horse was ly-
ing on the bridge the south bound
express came whizzing around the
curve, but the sharp eyeof the en-
gineer noticed the obstruction, and
he brought the train to a stand with-
in a few feet of the beset, which was
edged off of the bridge and shot to
end its sufferings. It was worth
about $175.
Mr James Moore and wife, who
ha7e been away for several weeks,are

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.—The re-
gular meeting of the Huron Medical
association was held in the Mechanics
Institute, Seaforth, on Tuesday, July
16th. There were present Dre Camp-
bell, Scott, Smith, Irving, vice-pres.;
Sloan, Elliott, Sec.; Gordon. Gunn,
Pres,; Hanover, Young, Graham,
Armstrong, Nichol, Bethune, and
Mr Ewing, sedent. Dr Campbell
presented a case of heart disease and
also a case of empyoema. Dr Gra-
ham showed a case of cystic, and Dr
Sloan a case regarding the diagnosis
of which there was some doubt. Dr
Nichol read a" paper on gun -shot
wounds. The Secretary read a letter
from Dr Worthington exp9•essing re-
gret at not being able to attend. He
sent a paper but the reading and dis-
cussion of it was deferred till the
neat meeting owing to want of time.
Committees were appointed on Ethics
Credentials and publications.. Dr
Sloan was appointed representative
to the Canadian Medical Association
which meets in Banff, N. W. T.,
next month. Altbgether the meet-
ing was one of the most successful
ever held in the county,the di3courses
being unusually animated and pro-
fitable. The next meeting will be
bell in Clinton in three months.
Mr Charlie W ilson,who,like others,
had the Macitoba fever bad in the
spring, and went west, has returned
to town, quite content to remain in
Ontario for the present.
Mr A. M. Taylor and wife, of To-
ronto, formerly of Clinton, are spend-
ing three months holidays at Ashbury
Park, New Jersey. It is evidently a
good thing to be a lawyer, particular-
ly if you have made well out of a real
estate deal.
Mrs J. Turnbull, and daughter,
have gone on a four -weeks' visit to
Woodlands. Mr Turnbull will re-
main in Toronto for a few days as
one of the examiners of teachers'
papers, after which be will proceed
to Woodlands and enjoy Ms holidays.
Miss M. Pike 'tendered her resig-
nation as a teacher in the public
school. She was an enthusiastic,con-
scientious and successful teacher, a
talented and scholarly person of soci-
able disposition and popular amongst
her scholars, and her departure will
be generally regretted.— Wingham

WHERE IT I8 HOT, — The hot
weather, which is •to -day a fruitful
topic of conversation, has given rise
to the query, " What is the hottest
weather ever known, in North Ameri-
ca ?" Ina recent bulletin of the
Kentucky Statistical Weather Service
an answer is given. The highest
temperature recorded by the United
States Signal service was at Phoenix
and Fort McDowell, Ariz., in June,
1883. The thermometer marked
119°, However, unofficial observers
report temperatures as high as 128 °
and" 122 ° at Mammoth Tank and
Humboldt,Cal. The coldest weather
recorded by the service was GO ° be-
low zero, at Poplar River, Mon. But
this is a warm place compared with
Werchojansk, Siberia, the coldest in-
habited spot on the globe. The ther-
mometer
heymometer there has been as low as
90 ° below zero. In view of these
figure, let us net complain of a paltry
81 °
or 90 ° above zero.
