Judgment for deft. Scott for plff. Waldron for deft. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE ADVER- TISING.—Last week Mr. W. Wise, of Goderich township, advertised the loss of a couple of notes of band. Now just see -the efficacy of advertis- ing. He had scarcely got home be- fore the notes were found in a drawer at his house. THE BAPTIST CHURCI3.—Mr S. S.

A RtiNAwAY.—On Tuesday after- ioon Mr.A. Core was out driving a hbrse Bitched in a light waggon, when it became unmanageable and ran away. It turned down into .the Commercial Hotel yard, ' ran full speed into the Stable, and seeing day- light through the closed doors at the south end, bolted'right clean through, smashing one of the doors in two, carrying the waggon and Mr Core along, and then it tumbled down outs side, which compelled it to stop. Beyond his shaking up, Mr Core was uninjured, but when one looks at the circumstance+, hi.s�escape from serious injury, if not death, was Miraculous.

'The idea hi a good ono, and we see no reason why the young men of Clinton cannet organize themselves into ono. We had one here several years ago that was a "rattler," and men now in business cen testify to the good it did thorn.

While the express waggon was on its way to the station, Saturday after- noon, an axle snapped, and the driver bad to leave his load and run on with the mail bags. Mr Dan Calbick, of Wingham, call- ed in to see us on Wednesday. He was so anxious to read the usual bud- get of Wingham news that he could not wait until the paper was issued Gibbings. The news, on Saturday evening last, that Miss Ida M. Gibbings, se- cond daughter of Mr John Gibbings, had passed away, at the age of a little over twenty-one, cast a gloom over our whole community. Two weeks prior to the sad event she was appa- rently in the full enjoyment of health and strength, and had only just re- turned from a protracted visit in To- ronto. Suddenly taken down by a complication of diseases she suffered very greatly during the two weeks illness,, and in spite of the best medi- cal skill, and all that loving hearts and kind hands could do, she quietly sank into rest on Saturday evening. The deceased, though of a quiet and retiring disposition, was very generally known,and wherever known was greatly esteemed: She was act- ively connected with, the Ontario St. Methodist church, and was amongst the foremost in all its good works. As a member of the choir, always to be found in her place ; as one of the founders end leaders of the Young People's Christian Endeavor Society, as. a teacher in the Sabbath School, her life was one of activity in and devotion to the cause of Christianity. She will be greatly missed by the church of her choice and 'a large circle of friends and acquaintances. During her illness, though suffering at times intensely, she gaye many evidences of her firm trust in the Saviour, and died in the full assur- ance of His saving power, even in " the valley Of the shadow of death." Un Sunday morning Rev Mr. Liv- ingstone, who was filling the pulpit of the Ontario -street church, made a very feeling allusion to the sorrowful event, and preached an appropriate sermon from the Psalmist's words, " God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." The choir loft was draped with crape, and the vacant chair bore the emblems of mourning. The funeral, on Monday, was very large. The choir and a large part of the Sunday School walk- ing in procession. The services at the grave were very touching, and as the choir and school sang " Safe in the arms of Jesus," there were many faces suffused in tears. Mr Gibbings and his family have the sympathies of the entire com- munity in their bereavement. Don't Delav! But come at once and get some of the REAT BARGAINS We are offering. The remains of Hartley Laycock, S011 of George Laycock, a former re- sident of Clinton, were interred at Woodstock last week. He was about 24 years of age, and had died at Kansas City. Mr Samuel Notley, of the London Fire department, was paying a short visit to his old friends here on Satur- day ; he does not look very well, just having come through a serious run away accident. Mr James Patterson, plasterer, and his son Richard, both purpose re- moving to Woodstock, where they have work. We are sorry to lose any of our citizens, but expect to see their places fill up again. Saturday was a busy day in town, and the merchants apparently did a good trade. There is a keen competi- tion among the merchants here, and farmers take advantage:of the• splen- did bargains offered. Mr Will Wallace, formerly of Clin- ton, but more recently a commercial traveller, has settled down to .busi- ness in Toronto, where he has opened up for himself. Abundant success is the wish of his old friends. Mr Thos. Wiseman, late with Mar- shall, Field 8t Co., Chicago, has, we understand, taken a situation in Toronto, when, he believes more money can be saved at even a leas salary,than can be done in the west Mr Arthur Twitchell has been confined to the house for several weeks by what is supposed to have been blood poisoning, and was at one time pretty bad, but we are glad to know that he is now evidently improving, Mr Arthur Stephenson has gone on a visit to Michigan Mrs A.

He is, perhaps, the foremost preacher in the Methodist church, to -day, and this will afford many who never heard him an excel- lent oppmitunity of doing so. There will be a service of song for fifteen minutes before the regular service, which will commence at 8. On Sunday Rev Dr Carman, Gene- ral Superintendent of the Methodist Church, will preach Anniversary Ser- mons in the Ontario Street Methodist church, morning and evening.
