The ISIui'on News -Record
THE FOREsTJR$ attended the
Ontario Street Methodist church
last Sunda when a stirring and
appropriate sermon was preached to
them by the pastor, Rev. Ms. Edge.
The church was filled to its utmost
capacity. Beside§ the loop' brethren
there were a number from the ad-
jacent towns and villages, and those
we conversed with expressed them-
selves as highly pleased and edified
by the Christian discourse they
heard.
IN LUCK So FAR.—. -Councillor
Cantelon informed Reeve Mc -
Murchie, when here last week, that
the advance in the price of
applea had so enhanced the value of
those he had bought that Ire had
been offered $6,000 more for his
purcL aces than he hall paid for
them. A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush. We know that
"Day" is speculative. Whether he
will risk getting the two birds at
the risk of losing the one ho has
deponent knoweth not.
COURT OF REVISION.—The Court
for the Revision of the Ontario
Voter's List for the town of Clinton
was held hero on Monday, before
Judge Toms. The chief business
was the addition of hales omitted.
The Conservatives asked to have
nineteen put on, eighteen of then'
were allowed.- The Reformers ask-
ed to haye twenty two put ou,
twelve of them were allowed. W.
Ii. Cooper appeared for the Con-
servatives, A. H. Manning for the
Reformers and the decisions are
satisfactory to both parties.
How NOT To I)o IT.—Order your
goods from Toronto. Buy of ped-
dlers as often and as much as
posaaible. Go to some other place
to get your printing done. If you
are a merchant don't advertise in
the,honre papers; but buy a stamp
and use that -it may save a few
dimes and make the paper look' as
if it was published by arnateurs in a
one horse town.' Slander your
public men at every opportunity,
and do all within your power/ to
hinder and annoy them in their
public duties.
liis KISSED ME.—A High School
girl being told the other day to parse
the sentence 'He kissed me,' consent-
ed reluctantly, because opposed to
speaking of private affairs in public.
'Ile,' she commenced with unneces-
sary emphasis and a fond lingering
over the word that brought crimson
to her cheeks, •is a pronoun, third
person, singular number, masculine
gender, a gentleman pretty well
fixed ;universally considered a good
catch. Kiss is a verb, transitive—
too much acy; regular—every even-
ing ; indicative mood—indicating
affection; first • and third persons,
. plural number and governed by
circumstances. Me=oh, everybody
knows me,.'. and down she went: '

OUR OwN AND ONLY CENTRAL
FAIR.—Parties who attended the
Provincial Fair at Loddon this year
say the Clinton Huron Central one
of last year gave th'en1 much greater
satisfaction. What then will they
say after seeing the Clinton Cen
ttal Exhibition of 18897 If the
Fair in Clinton last year was of so
iutelesting a character, we can
assure our readers from what wo
know of the programme that the
Clinton.Central this year will excel
it as far as the exquisite luscious-
ness of a ripe peach exeeedoth the
insipidity of a Swede turnip.
Clinton, Septr. 24th., -25th., 26th.
A BETTER FEELING.—A good ac-
count is given by Attorney -General
Martin, of tho crops and business
in the Prairie Province and North-
west generally. He says while last
year only about threo million bush-
els of wheat were exported, there
will be fully thi'be times that quan-
tity this Sear. Tho present price
for wheat is 67 cents. 13usiness is
flourishing, and trading generally on
a good financial basis. Trains have
been running for two weeks as far
as Pottage la Prairie over the extens-
ion of the Northern Pacific. Bran-
don will bo reached this fall,
Competition in railway business
being thus established, the people
breathe freer, and a butter feeling
prevails.
THE, PAItSON HAD BEEN THERE
HIMSELF.—At the York, 'Ontario,
Sunday School Convention tho
Rev. Mr. Bell was decidedly of the
opinion that,"sparking" on Sunday
was not exactly productive of the
true spirit in which the day ought
to be observed. Of course the
young inau and the young woman
make it all right with their own
consciences lay going to church and
siugiic off the same hymn book,
but he himself thought "sparking"
ought to be strictly a week -day
affair, oven although he could not
affirm that ho himself had never
done just a very little courting on
the Sabbath in days not so long
past. When the reverend gentle-
man asked for a show of hands from
those who .had never, never
"sparked" on Sunday,, there was
only one hand went up, and that
was the hand of a three-year old in
his mother's arme. With a sigh of
relief Mr. Bell took his seat.

having travelled through western
Ontario for ton years.past, what he
don't know about travelling ain't
worth 'knowing. His experience
on the road combined with shrewd-
ness and bolshoniie should make M.
Doherty more than ordinarily suc-
cessful.
THE REASON WHY the Deputy
Postmaster -General has . required
postmasters to note the weight of
printed matter mailed at their office
is solely for statistical purposes. Not
since the institution of free postage
for newspapers has an accurate re-
turn been made of the amount actu-
ally carried through the nails, and
for this purpose, therefore, post-
masters have been asked to furnish
a return of newspapers and periodi-
cal matter mailed at their offices
front September 1 to 14.
HURON PRESBYTERY.—The Huron
Presbytery met on Tuesday 10th
inst., in Egmondville. The chief
items of business were as follows :
A circular was read from the Socie-
ty on prison reform asking the co-
operation of the Presbytery in secur-
ing certain changes in the classifica-
tion of prisoners in gaolsland prisons.
No action was taken at present on
it. Mr. James Scott, of Clinton,
read the report of the Sab. School
committee recommending that a
conference be held in connection
with the January meeting of Pres-
bytery. This was agreed to. Rev.
Mr. McMillan, of Manchester was
granted leave of absence for six
months to visit the Old Country
and prosecute further studies.
Rev. Mr. Fletcher reported for the
committee which was appointed to
visit the congregations lying in
Tuckersmith and Stanley witha view
to the rearrangement of the field. The
committee had met with opposition
at the outset hilt were reinstruct
ed to continue their work. Rev.
Mr. Musgrove was appointed
treasurer of Presbytery in room of
Mr. McCoy lately removed from
Egmondville, and Mr. Fletcher cor-
vener of Home Mission committee
also in room of Mr. McCoy: It
was agreed congregations should
hold Missionary meetings, but all
arrangements should be loft to
each session. These meetings to be
held before January meetings of
Presbytery. The next meeting of
Presbytery is to be held at Clinton
on the second Tuesday of Noveln-
ber, at ten o'clock.

It was much needed.

COUNCILLOR KENNEDY is home
again after a several weeks visit to
Haldimand " county. He looks
much improved by Iris visit among
old friends. He was in Haldimand
during the progress of the recent
protest trial which resulted iu the
uusoatiug of Mr. Colter, and was
much amused at the various person-
al comments on the interesting pro-
ceedings.
FooT-BALL.-On Thursday last a
meeting was held at the Collegiate
to reorganize the Collegiate foot -ball
club, at which the following officers
were elected :—Hon. President, Jas.
Turnbull, B.A.; president, J. Ross ;
secretary -treasurer, J. P. Doherty ;
captain, A. M. Burchill; side cap-
tains, A. M. Burchill, Juo. Cooper ;
committee,, Perry, Giffin, Gray,
,Agnew, Smilie. The club's secre-
tary would like to arrange matches

PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATION.—
The examination for proficiency in
Anatomy and Embalming, by the
Undertaker's Association of Ontar-
io took place ou the lltis and 12th
insts. in Trinity Medical College,
Toronto. There were 15 examined of
whom 9 passed. Among those who
passed from Huron were J. C. Stev-
enson, Clinton and D. B. Calbick,
Wingham, the, latter with honors.
Wo aro pleased to notice that our
former townsman passed so credit-
ably as we are informed the ordeal
was more than ordinarily trying.
ALL FOR THE GOOD OF TRADE.—
The exceeding dry weather of the
last two months has made clayey
ground densely compact. Even
loamy ground such as Mr. Wm.
Murphy's, near town, is so hard that
in taking up his potatoes ho has
broken several hoes in breaking the
hard lurnps of soil to get the pota-
toes freed from the earth. The
hardware dealers may look for an
extra demand for blasting powder
or dynamite as there is considerable
clay soil in this vicinity and blast-
ing operations will be in order
when potato" raising" time becomes
general.
MR. Jos ALLISON, the pioneer
gardener, will likely have an im-
mense exhibit of his productions at
the Huron Ceutral Exhibition.
The dry season does not seem to
have affected the growth of his
vegetabiee. He has seven acres
under cultivation and 'oceans" of
water was secured all summer from
the river close by. "Squash that a
man could not lift," "cabbage about
the size of a tub," "mangolds about
the size of decent saw logs," "corn
like cordwood," etc. etc., is frequent-
ly remarked about Allison's pro-
d uctions.
VERY SAD.—The death of Mies
Rolph, granddaughter of Mrs. W.
F. Murray, of Clinton, in Toronto
Tuesday of last week, at the early
age of 19 years, was quite a shock
to the friends of the young lady
here where she had often made
prolonged visits, the last one only
a short time previous to her demise.
Tho cause was peritonitis. Tho
funeral took place from the reef -
donee of Mrs. Murray, Atholecot,
last Thursday at 2.30. Service was
held in St, Pauls at 3 p. m. and
len the earthly remains were
b*no and consigned to the abode
of the dead where : "Calm on the
bosom of thy God, Fair spirit rest

The band will be engaged at times
during the week in distributing
Clinton Huron Central Exhibition
programmes and other printed mat-
ter concerning the Clinton fair
among people at adjoining village
and town faire.
THERE'S MILLIONS IN IT. -Mr.
Plumsteel of this town is still after
that $50,000,000 unclaimed estate
left by relatives in Gormany. Mt.
P. sr. was in Buffalo the other day
interviewing parties living there
who assert the bona fides of the
existence of this vast undlaimed
estate. It is known as the Fischer
estate. Mr. Plumstoel is quite
sanguine that he will bo able to
substantiate his claims me ono of
the heirs, and the Fischers of Col-
borne are not sure but they will
come in for their share. In the
meantime the Clinton claimant has
lawyers at work tracing up the
case. Should leo succeed, which
Are hope he will, he will be several
millions bettor off than at present.
FOR THD FALL. We have placed into stock one of
the finest displays ever seen in this section, and judging -
from prospects in this part of the. country there

for it, and our new stock should be seen early to get

ON MONDAY a report reached
Goderich of the death of Miss Lucy
Whitely in the Northwest where
she had been visiting friends and
in the hope of benefitting her
health. The young lady was a
daughter of Mr. Andrew Whitely
of the town of Goderich, and a
most estimable person, full of life
and cheeriness iu spite of the
chronic ailment which ultimately
carried her off in the heyday of
life's young dream.
NOT MANLY.—A portion of the
Seaforth Lacrosse Club and their
sympathisers are earning an unenvia-
ble reputation for the manner in
which they treat the umpires
when they are defeated. Athletic
games are not professedly designed
to develop brute force at the ex-
pense of moral manliness. But
it seems that some of the Sea -
forth Lacrosse players and a few
sympathisers prefer mobism and
rowdyism to manfully acknowledg-
ing honest defeat. Week before
last there was,a moat painful ex-
hibit of these undesirtble traits
when the Stratford club bent Sea -
forth. Some of the Stratford men
decorated the car they were return-
ing home in with brooms in honor
of their victory. The Seaforth men
for this hurled stones through the
windows of the car. Then they
mobbed their own umpird, a Clin-
tonlyoung'man, becausehegavedecis-
fons against them and it is said
would probably have inflicted
mortal injuries upon him could
they havehad their way. And
this young man is not only well
posted in the rules of the garno but
is as aterlingly honest and impartial
as the Lord Chancellor of England,
But if he had any bias it was in
favor of the Seaforth club. De-
feat honestly acknowledged is
robbed of half its sting; denied the
sting is doubled.
