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.

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. -•• DOWF DELAY But come and get some of the GREAT BARGAINS we are offering. 0 • • 500 Rolls (Remnants) Beautiful Gilt Wall Paper, loo a Roll 200 Books at 10 Cents Each, or 3 for 25 Cents.

DOHERTY has accepted a situation with Watson and Cox, Montreal, manufacturers of varn- ishes, drycolors etc., one of the largest in Canada. Mr. Doherty 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. Ni EXPRESSMAN MooN is off duty these days taking holidays. JUDGE'S COURT OF REVISION for the town of Clintonwas held here I on Monday, Judge I. F.

AT LAOT.—Suuday afternoon the parched earth was moistened by a copious downpour of rain, the first of any consequence since July 3rd. It was much needed. MR. HARRY CANTELON spent Sunday and Monday in town.. Notwithstanding the worries of business and the fatigues of constant travelling the gentleman appears to be the same old time happy Harry. il:R.

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 with ..Outside' teams, 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 then now 1" s ay.r;�t;Li �i i�In,q.Rr , .. q��w�r��i•.�+SAT 11.

THE LATEST.—A band of six youths has been secured by the directors of the Huron Central Fair of Clinton, and dressed up in uniform consisting of suit of old gold with mandi red facings and cap to match. On the bands of the caps and back of the coats is legibly printed " Huron Central Fair." 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 to be a e, bi g trade this Fall. We are fully prepared for it, and our new stock should be seen early to get choice selection. We will. have a good deal to say later on about our big stock.

BLYTII SHOW.—We have received from secretary McQuarrie a copy of the Blyth prize list. It has an at tractive outside appearance and the inside will be of special interest to intending exhibitors. WILL NOT COMPETE.—Intending exhibitors at the Huron Central Fair will please bear in mind that Mr. W. Doherty will not compete for a magnificent parlor organ which that gentleman has generously given for the best carriage team ITS MIGHTY LUCKY for Colter, the great unseated of Haldimand, that he has no fall plowing to do. If the business part of him is so sore that he can't take his seat, it would be very painful for. this Col- ter to take • part in agricultural operations. THE BEST Snow EVER HELD 1N THE COUNTY.—We have received,' through W. H. Cooper, Esq., assist- ant secretary of the Huron C,,en- tral Exhibition to be held in Clin- ton on the 24th, 25th, 26th Sept., a complimentary ticket, for which wo have to thank the directors. This is expected to be the best show ever hold in the county.— Wingham Advance. - CHANGE.—As will be noted in the advertisement of the Hodgens' Estate, Mr. ' Wiseman has with- drawn from the management and the Messrs IL E. and F.R. Hodgens wilt now conduct the business. They are obligingoung men, well acquainted with the wants of the public, and the "Palace House" should continuo to be a right royal place to make purchases under their management. MR.: JOHN WISE11tAN, for many years a prominent merchant of Clinton, left yesterday for the States for the purpose of engaging in busi- ness there should matters shape the right way, As a neighbor, business man and good citizen generally Mr. Wiseman is all that could bo desir- ed, and while we would regret to lose hien as a citizen wo hope his brightest aspirations will bo realized. MISS CARSON 18 away on ((visit. MRs. E. FINCH is visiting friends in Palmerston. MESSRS JOSEPH RATTENBURY and Robert Logan atten.cjird the funeral of the late Mr.•Rhy,nas on Sunday, at Goderich. 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. FALL FAiRS. Clinton, September 24 to 26. °'Goderioh, September 17 to 19. Seaforth, September 16 and 17.
