EXCURSION TO NEW YORK.—Mr
H. W. VanEvery,_ f Toronto, adver-
tises an excursion o New York on
the 28th of Sept. at $11 for the round
trip, from Toronto.
A FINE TEAM,—Mr Jas. Cornish,
of the Base line, has a very fine tram
of matched light bays, that elicited a
good deal of admiration at Seaforth,
on Tuesday. ` Both are mares, in ex-
cellent condition, and he refused $500
for them on the`ahow ground. He
took first prize with them.
GONE WEST.—Mr John Wiseman,
ritor 'several years a resident of town,
'nand for some time past manager of
`
the Hodgen's estate, left on Tuesday
for Jackson, Mich., where he has a
good situation in view. Should it
not prove satisfactory, he will go on
to Chicago,where he has two brothers
living. Mr Wiseman has been a good
citizen during the time he has resided
here,and carries away the best wishes
of his host of friends for his future
prosperity. Mrs Wiseman remains
here until he gets settled again.
Mr Marshal] Braithwaite, of Blyth,
who has been handling the Oakea
organa for a short time, has been per-
manently engaged as their travelling
agent,and is new out in their interest.
A FANCY TABLE MISSING.— On
Friday last a small fancy table be-
longing to Mise Hine, was taken to
St. Paul's church, and ornamented
with flowers prior to the funeral ser-
vice of the late Miss Rolph, which
was held in the church. Shortly
after the services were over, it was
found that the table had been remov-
ed, and up to the present not the
slightest trace of it can be found.
The lady would like to have the table
returned if it was taken in mistake,
aa she can hardly think anyone would
deliberately carry it off under the cir-
cumstances.
WELCOME RAIN. — During the
months of April,May and June every-
body was wishing it would stop rain-
ing, but during the months of July,
August and September, everybody in
this section has been wishing it would
u rain. In this immediate vicinity
there has been no rain of any import-
ance since about the first of J uly,and
in consequence nearly everything has
been as dry as it could be. But on
Sunday afternoon a shower of rain fell
that has been of inestimable benefit
to the whole country. No man can
tell how much good it has done.
Everything is the better by it, and
. everybody is happier for it.
THIEVING. — On Friday evening
last a number of young people from
Clinton drove out to a farmer's in
Goderich township, where an enter-
tainment was being held, leaving
their coats and wraps in the buggy,
never for one moment thinking that
they wonld be disturbed. When they
came out to go home one young man
was more than annoyed to find that
his overcoat, a good one, had been
stolen. The thief had gone to some
trouble to secure it, as it was piled
beneath a number of others, which
had been removed evidently that the
beet might be secured.
GONE B.aci .—Mss Reid, who has
been a re dent of Clinton for a couple
of years a moved back to her farm
near Har ock, in Mullett. T'hie was
necessitated by the tenant, who had
it rented for a term of seven years,
throwing it up after three years occu-
pancy.
GRAND CONCERT.—.A. grand con-
cert will be given in the Town Hall
Clinton on the 8rd evening of Fall
Fair, Thursday, Sept. 26th. The Cos-
grove family of natural born prodigiea
performing on over 40 mneical instru-
ments assisted by Mr Fax the great
comic. Mies Ella Coppinger. The
lady violinist Little Mable Rema spe-
cialty artist, and others. Don't fail
to see this concert as it is something
entirely new.
REVISION COURT.— Judge Toms
presided at the Court for the Revision
of the Vetere' List,on Monday,which
was gone over in very short order.
To avoid the necessity of a number of
persons,lin whose behalf appeals bad
been entered, appearing at Court, a
mutual arrangement had been ent-
ered into between the Conservatives
and Reformers, to allow certain
names to go without opposition, and
the Judge simply ratified the arrange-
ment.
FooT BALL.—On Thursday last a
meeting was held at the Collegiate to
organize the Collegiate foot ball club,
at which the following officers were
elected :—Hon. President, Jas. Turn-
bull, B. A.; president, J . Ross ; sec-
retary.treasurer, J. P. 'Doherty ; cap-
tain, A. M. Burchill ; side captains,
A. M. Burchill, John Cooper ; com-
mittee, Perry, Giffin, Gray, Agnew,
Smilie. The club's secretary would
like to arrange matches with outside
teams.

list of Modellites in attendance here :

Holmes, Ida Murch,Jessie McKenzie,

Mathers, W. Sloan, Daniel Walker,
Jas. McDonald.
Bi oWoKs--The Bugwoks journeyed
out into the country last Friday night,
looking as if they were intending to
enjoy themselves. But before they
left there seems to have been a split
in the ranks and some of their num-
ber wouldn't go in the large waggon.
Two of them got a nice little rig and
rurnballed off with a man(n)-in(g) it
and they came home safe, but next
day .one of them looked as if he had
lost his girl or something worse. An-
other of -the "Bugs" wandered off be•
hind a fine driver that looked as if it
had been taken from the stables of
W, Doherty, Esq. But anyhow the
young man caught cold and all the
noise he could make next day was
" atchizzen."
AN ADVERTISING TROUPE.—That
the directors of the Huron Central
Exhibition are determined to make
it known far and wide, is shown by
their liberality in advertising it, both
by printed matter and otherwise. On
Tuesday a troupe of six boys dressed
in attractive (mita, and bearing in
plain letters on their backs the words
"Huron Central Fair, Clinton," were
in attendance at the Seaforth show,
and under direction of Mr W. H.
Cooper, distributed programmes of
the exhibition to be held here on
Sept. 24 25.26. They also billed
Goderich in the same way, and were
the objects of attraction and comment
in both places.
A LONG FELT W ANT.—There is a
splendid opening in this town for a
laundry, as a great many families
find it necessary to put their washing
out to get it done at all. We know
of instances where families have this
summer found it difficult to get their
laundry work attended to, and would
willingly pay a good price to have it
done. The London laundry receives
considerable patronage from this
place, and there is no reason what-
ever why all this work and a great
deal more could not be done in the
town, if some one would take hold of
it. There's a big yearly revenue in
it if properly looked after.
BUSINESS CHANGE•—The business
of the Dry Goods Palace, which has
been carried on since the decease of
Mr John Hodgens, under the title of
" Estate late John Hodgens," has
undergone a slight change,and will be
managed by Messrs Bert and Frank
Hodgens, sons of the former proprie-
tor. Both are well-known to our
townspeopleas young men of sterling
worth, and have ample experience to
enable them to conduct a business
like that of the Dry Goods Palace.
They will do their utmost to prove
themselves worthy of public confi.
dance, and will no doubt receive their
share of support.
PROPERTY CHANGE.— The brick
bonse on Huron street, owned by Mrs
Corbett, has been sold to Mr Alex.
Ewing,for the sum of $1700 cash,who
takes possession the latter part of the
month. A vale of household furniture
and utensils will take plate at the
premises, on Saturday afternoon next,
at 2 p.m. It is generally expected
that Mr and Mrs Corbett will ulti-
mately take up their residence in De-
troit,
etroit, where, they have a son and a
daughter at present residing. Mr
Corbett has been a prominent figure
in business and political circles, and
his removal from town will be gener-
ally regretted. Mr Ewing has se-
cured a desirable residence at a reas-
onable figure.

A CLINTONIAN IN THE FAA WEST.
Mr Andrew McGarva,son of Mr John
McGarva, Clinton, has been engaged
for some time with one of the sealing
fleet sailing from Victoria, B. C., and
sends the following account, which
will be interesting at this particular
time. He says :—" We left Victoria
on Jan. 19th and sailed for Drake's
Bay, about 30 miles to the northward
of Frisco, there to await the. Schooner
Viva, owned by the same company,
with supplies for us. We arrived in
Drake's Bay, on the 28th, and laid
there till 2nd Feb., when the U. S.
Revenue Cutter "Rush" seized us and
towed us into Frisco, suspecting us
of smuggling opium. We lay in
Frisco one week and were let go, hav-
ing been searched by the Customs
authorities but without emcees. From
Frisco we went to Drake's Bay, and
there got our supplies and put out to Newspapers are sometimes accused
sea to start sealing. " We sealed along of showing partiality in publishing
the Boast as far as Cape Flattery, at some personals and not others. One
which point we arrived in April,then says that if so and so had,left town,
wo put in to Victoria for water and the name would have been published,
provisions and landed 384 ekine. We . etc. Now we don't care who you are,
left on 19th April and sealed all
along the coast up to the Alentian
Island,when we put in to Sand Point,
June 22nd,to get water and provisions
and send 558 skins to Victoria by the
Schooner Wanderer. We got in
Behring Sea on July 3rd, and up to
the 29th had caught 856 skins, when
the Cutter again seized us and took
skins and 12 guns with amunition,
then put a prize crew aboard us of
one man to take us to Sitka, but as
soon as we were out of the Sea and in
the Pacific we sailed straight for Vic-
toria, where we arrived Aug. 30th.
When we are sealing the Schooner is
about 50 to 100 miles from land, on
the fish banks where the seal feed and
sleep. I was surprised to meet yes-
terday, Sept. llth, Will and Tom
Ford, from Goderich township, and
Sam Jones, frotn Stapleton, and also
Ed Dickinson, son of the bailiff; he
issmarried and working in the Iron
Works here. There would bo a loss
