Miss Lizzie Beesley has been quite ill with inflammation of the lulge,but is now better. Singular, ain't it, that when money le "close," it is far away. This is our experience, anyhow.

Corbett, who has been visit- ing in Detroit tor a short time, is back in town again. Mrs McLeod, who has been con- fined to her room by serious illness, is again able to be out. Mr Robt. Downs, who has been confined to his room for a week by illness, is now able to be around. Mr A.D. Aikenhead, at one time in business here, but lately of Portage la Prairie, has gone to Beaver Dam, Wis., to reside. Rev Mr Ryan, of the Montreal Conference, occupied the pulpit of Rattenbury St. church, on Sunday evening. He was here on a visit to Mr David Cook. Mr Johnson and wife, of Oakville, are visiting here for the benefit of their health. She will be better recognized by Clintonians as Miss Bella Hemphill, Wilbur, son of Rev Mr Nugent, Mitchell, has gone.ta Guelph to at- tend the training school. He expects by Christmas to have his first-class professional certificate, and he is not yet eighteen years old. Master Nu- gent was for some thne in the employ - of Pay & Co., Clinton. OUR MEMBER.—The Starmentione that Roht. Porter, DI, P., of Simcoe, was one of the interested spectators at the 'Fair in Goderich. Ilio doubt he was also preparing to move to Goderich or Clinton, as was promised during his canvas he would do 'if' elected, unless he thinks it would hardly be worth while for the balance of his term of office. WENT ur TSIs TIME.—Tw0 weeks ago we mentioned the arrest and sub- sequent release of a man who had stolen a horse and buggy at Watford. The fellow evidently has a bad record, and although he escaped the horse case is likely to get his deserts for stealing a watch and some jewellery • at Tara. Constable Yule, of Gode- rich, arrested him on the United Em- pire, and he has been taken to Tara to stand -his trial. CoxvIoTIONs.—The to!al convic- tion by the magistrates of the county for the quarter ending the 10th inst., 59, of which 11 were by Goderich Justices of the Peace, 21 by Clinton, 10 by Seaforth; 2 Wingham,7 Brus- sels, 5 Exeter, 1 Blyth and 2 Hensel'. ;Of the offences 18 were drunks, 7 were illegal sales of liquor. The total^fines levied amounted to 8235, and $200 of this was for violation of the Crooks Act. PxssoNAL.—Mr James A. Yuill and wife, of Le Grange, Ill., have been visiting their old friends here, after an absence of several: years. The hearty greeting they have met from old acquaintances, shows the high esteem in which they are held. "Jim," who is an express messenger on a line running from Chicago, was very seriously hurt in an accident a short time ago, and he has not been able to work since, In fact the in- juries to his spine will prevent him going on the road again, and he ex- pects to take a position in the office of the Company—he having been con- nected with the same Company for 18 years. They leave herein a few days for Alvinston, and thence back to Illinois. A. U. Ta tor, Esq., barrister of T oronto, pad a short visit to town oa Tuesday tiffs Jennie Gibson has gone to the Toronto Conservatory to continue her musical education. In reference to a paragraph in last week's issue about Mrs Bald going to her farm in H4dett, she says haat the circumstances as they were given were correct but she preferred living in the country to the town. The directors of the liechanipe In. stitnte are engaged in arranging a course of five first-class entertainments to be given In the -town hall, during the coming entertainment season.

The party who Is alleged to have stolen it, denied all knowledge of it. but be- fore Mr Rambell returned he had the satisfaction of securing his coat. It is likely to be an expensive affair for the parties concerned, before the matter is disposed of. A PRETTY SMALL RETURN.—The produce of 86 acres of fall wheat, on one farm, was delivered at Fair's mill, on Tuesday. The total yield of grain, well cleaned, was 1075 bushels, or an average of 121 bushels to the acre. It weighed 541 lbs. to the bushel,which being only worth 70 cts. a bushel, thus netted $756.35. This brings the returns per acre up to the munificent sum of $8.78, hardly what Bank, is enjoying a visit here; one of these days be may take the ears on hie departure from town. At the Goderich show "Ike Groff," the stallion owned by lir Lack Ken- nedy, took 1st prize and diploma for best carriage horse shown. Miss C. Mountcastle took 2nd prize for still-life painting at tb a Provincial; at Goderich she succeeded in carrying off seven first prizes and five seconds. Al the Rattenbury Street Young People's Meeting, 4n Monday even- ing, Rev. J. Edge gave an excellent address on "How to meet doubts.”— It was a union rneeticg. Mr W.S. Lawrence has been re- engaged for S. S. No. 11 Goderich Township, at an advance of salary.- would becalled a princely amount. TheArgetees show good judgment in The land on which thiii grain was retaining s first -•class -man when they grown is as good wheat land as there have one. APPOINTMENT.—Mr W. Campbell, of Goderich, has finally been appoint- ed postmaster of that place, and en- ters upon his duties on the 1st of October. There has been a lively struggle for the position, but no one can deny that Mr. Campbell, in a po- litical sense, has not earned the ofliae. We believe he will make a faithful officer. It is said that Mr A. 1L Musgrove, teacher, will be the next Conservative candidate for the Local in East Hu- ron, Mr Hays having declined to be a victim any longer. Musgrove is not a bad sort of follow, but bas not the ghost of a chance against "Honest Torn 'Gibson," who has represeuted the riding since 1871, and who is again the nominee of the Reform party. A few day's since Rev. Mark Rum - ball, of High Bluff, Man., and well known here, followed out the Naw ERA's prediction of some months ago, by taking. as his wife a popular young lady of Cobourg, daughter of a lead- ing Methodist of that place. They have been visiting friends here, and to -day leave for their home in the weal, accompanied by the best wishes of a large circle of friends. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A very dad accident happened on Wednesday morning, close to town, resulting in the instant death of Miss Kate Deeves daughter of Mr John Deeves, of God- erich Township. When the morn- ing train iibrth on the L. H St B had reached the river bridge �ialf a mile below Clinton,a the engineer saw a w young woman alking on the track just a -Bort distance ahead of him. He at once reversed the engine and whistled, thinking that she would at once get off the track but as she hap- pened to be deaf, she of course did not hear, and before the train could be bronght to a stand, the engine had struck her, killing her instantly. Ono leg was broken by the force of the blow and her head was somewhat cut. The body was brought to the station and the Coroner summoned. After viewing the body and learning all particulars he concluded that an inquest was unnecessary, and' he ex- onerated the railroad company from any blame in , the matter. She was aged just over thirty years of age. She saw the train when it was quite close to her, but it was too late for her to escape. Another lamentable accident hap- pened yesterday morning, whereby a small English boy, aged about eleven years, and adopted by Mr W Wise, of Goderich township, lost his life. He was bringing a couple of horses to the show, riding one and leading another. When near the bridge on the Bayfield road, the morning L.,H. & B. train frightened the horses, and the boy was' pulled off, one of the animals tramping on his head, causing almost instant death. LEGAL MAT1ERs.—The report of the Ontario Inspector of Legal Offices gives the following facts :—The total amount of the fees earned by the Sheriff's office of this county for the year -1888 was $4472.62, of which •amount the Sheriff received $2504. The total number of eenvictious made by Magistrates in the •siounty during the same year, was 296, certainly not a large number when population is taken into account.' The total amount of the fines imposed amounted to $8832.93, but over $1700 of this was not collected ! 14 of the fines were for violation of the Crooks Act, and 48 for violation of the Canada Temper- ance Act, the fines in this connection amounting to $2900. As Surrogate Judge, Mr Toms .received a salary of $1000; this is in addition to what he receives as County Judge. The County Crown Attorney end Clerk of the _Peace, Mr Ira Lewis, received $1925. Mr Malcomso ,Local M Master Chancery, McDonald, as Deputy Clerk of the Crown, County Court Clerk and Sur- rogate, Registrar, received the snug salary of $3029.75. No wonder some of the residents of the county town manage to "get three meals a day / orstorekeeps "E can be happy and cntented,nema ter how hard the times for others, In fact the harder the times, the better these people fare. , 25 cents cash will get the is in the county, one third of it being new land, and the other having in years past yielded 45 bushels to the acre.

Metcalf is rapidly recovering, and is now prcnounced„out of danger. A number of Foresters drove to Belgrave, on Wednesday last, to at- tend the funeral of one of their bre- thren. We are glad to learn that Mrs W. Crittenden, who has been on,the sick list for a short time, is new rapidly recovering. We understand two of our young') ladies have opened out a fancy store in Mr Gidley's old stand. They have a very attractive • display, and we wish them success. On Monday last, as the marriage ceremony was being performed, at the residence of Mr McCaughey, some one entered the place, and stole a wheel off of one of the carriages. We think this is a most disgraceful trick, and ' if the right parties are found they should be severely dealt with. STATISTIC$.— The report of the Bureau of Industries for Ontario 'for 1888 has just been issued. It contains a lot of information of interest to all classes, -but especially to the farmers, and we make the following extracts from its pages. During the year it rained on 89 days, (nearly a quarter of the year,) and over 25 inches of rain fell in that time ; it snowed on 58 days, and nearly 90 inches fell. The total occupied and assessed land in•Huron last year was 799,322 acres, of which 537,325 are cleared.

In addition to the large list of prizes, 'there are special prizes for lady horse- manehip, Highland dancing, and a large number of others, which space will not permit us to mention. How- ever, we hope every one that can possibly do so will take the oppor- tunity, sad be present.
