SUDDEN DEATH,—John Ross, of the London Road, Stanley, died very suddenly Thursday, aged 69 years. Tuesday he took suddenly ill anti went to bed from which he hover arose. ft is thought that the still more sudden death of his late friend Wm. McMillan had some- thing to do. with Mr. Ross's death.

It is useful in proof-reading and indespensible in getting forms to press, and has also .been known to assist in looking over the paper after it is printed,but otherwise it is a very disgusting habit. A DELUSION.—Mr., George Mur• ray, of Thainesford, is the owner of a hon that recently laid an egg that is, to say the least, peculier. The shell is of the •ordinarys,•aize, but instead of being smooth like the shells ofsother eggs it is very rough. The strauge part of the affair, how- ever, is. the fact that inside the shell there was no matter, it being perfectly empty. BURN BURDOCK.—Aiorely cutting off a burdock top the second year of its growth dues not touch check it. What is needed is to dig down below the crown, and destroy as much of the root as can be got at. Even then shoots will sometimes push out, and sond.up a seed stem full as it eau • stick of burs. Fortu- nately the burdock is biennial. After it sends, if the stalk is cut off and thrown on a pile of brush for burning that is 1110 end of it, pro- vided the fire be hot enough to destroy every seed. • ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.— Thursday lest Mr. 'P. Carroll. died at Goderich, in the afternoon, while reading a newspaper. , He had been up town in the forenoon. His age was seventy years. He was born' in Kilkenny, Ireland. He was among the early settlers of this part of the country. 'Previous to living in Colborne he had charge of the late Adumiral Brown's farm on the Bayfield road. Afterward lie went to the farm of George Brown, late treasurer of the county. Mr: Carroll was a Roman Catholic and a close follower of the religious duties enjoined upon him. He left his farm in Colborne to reside in town about five years ago. lie leaves two sons, one residing on the farm and another who has until recently been residing in the States.

BAD COMPANY.—The following was left by young Gadsby of Strat- ford High school, who committed suicide the other day. DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER.—God help me I am in great trouble. I am go- ing to take my life, Will is arrest- ed and will go to penitentiary. I was led into evil by him. Mark my last words which aro, I never robbed any store. My God how I wish I had never seen hire. May God forgive me, The revolver I shot myself with was one Will gave me to keep for him.. I never took it. My God I never realized how much I Loved you all till now. Give my dear little fr.* Frank all my belongings. Oh mother you can forgive me. Yours repentant, Arr. THE ItivALs.—A peculiar inci- dent on Wednesday afternoon at the Goderich fair was Mr. M, C. Cameron and Mr, Porter taking refuge from the rain in two of the offices on the grounds. During a lull in the rain storm Cameron would put his head out of the door- way of his refuge, but not liking the appearance of things would retreat inside agein'. 'In a few minutes Mr: Porter would show himself just as Mr. Cameron had done. W. Campbell was with Porter, D. McGillicudy with Camer- on, and one would think from the way in which the M. P. and the ex -M. P. wore dodging in and out from their respective shelters that their friends were posting the one when the other was not out so as to avoid a collision. And it so hap- pened that during the hour or eo they were within a conple of foot of each other the one was not aware of the proximity of the other. - ISAAC FISCHER, of Colborne, took silver medal at the Provincial for best farm.

P. spent Wednes- day of last week attending the Godorich Fair. It will hardly ho possible for him to attend, the Clin- •ton Fair. • TUe editor of time ,Mitchell Recor- der informs THE NEWS -RECORD that ho is not an old maid, and that when he sits down lie s its on his brains. We accept the apology, M r. , lieom•der. WE SPOKE to Sergeant Kelly in Godorich last week. The veteran soldier had -circumvented his enemy the dropsy and . was down town. Both his wife and himself aro, we believe, over four score years •and yet comparatit%ely vigorous. . The .old couple 'have many friends in Clinton. TILE FUNERAL of the late Lucy Whitely, who diorl in Dakota, took place to Godorich cemetery ou Friday last and was very largely attended. Among those present were Mr. Joseph Shaw of Dakota and Rev. Dr. Shaw of Toronto, uncles of the deceased young lady. Her age was 30 years. Ion Gorr, Lack Kennedy's beautiful:entire horse took first prize at 'the Goderich ]fair for carriage stallion, and diploma for best stallion of any ago. Ike Groff was much admired not only for his admirable easy going gait but also by experts for the many well devel- oped points indicative of speed: Five of his progeny took prizes also. SUNDAY EVENING a couple of ladies returning from church along Ontario street, when opposite Mr: Spooner's boarding house tripped or were caught in the loose boards of the' sidewalk. It seems there is no use spikiug them down as the s.tr,ingeSs underneath are so decayed they will not hold tho spikes: If something is not done an accident may It pen and a suit against the corporation be the result. AT LAST.—Mr. W. Campbell of Goderich has been appointed post- master at that place. We think that under all the circumstances it is a proper ono. Of course 1►e will have a " hard row to hoe" taking the position after the late Mr. Dick- son, who was such an exceptionally all round good official. But doubt- less Mr. Campbell will aim high -and if he falls short of hie model predecessor, he will probably be no worse in that respect than many others would be. IN A BAD Fix —The inquiry into the drowning of Charles Hambly at Owen Sound has been going on for several days. The crew of the Steamer Battle who tarred and feathered Hambly, and in conse- quence of which he jumped over- board and was drowned, are in a bad fix. Though the crow had no idea of Hambly jumping overboard, they, in any event, committed an unlawful act, and a beastly in- decentoue at that. Indirectly they took the young man's life, though not intending to do it. The evi- dence shows them to have been guilty of an atrocious assault though they were laboring under the idea that they were punishing another for cotnrnitting a still more henious• ly indecent act. GRAND CONCERTS.—T11ere Will be a series of concerts given under Baptist auspices during the first week in October. They will no doubt be interesting and we would advise all who can to go and hear one'of the fainous Whyte Brothers, accompanied by his daughter on the Harp and Guitar. The Con- certs will be genuinely religious affairs, while care at the same time will be taken to not have theme too closely resemble the collection of "very dry bones" which Ezekiel saw. While the musical treat will be well worth the 25 tents for admission the profits will be for the benefit of a weak but energetic church. The first concert will be on Tuesday Octr. 1st in the Baptist chapel, Base Line. Octr. 2nd at Methodist church, Benmillor On Oct 3rd at Methodistaliurch,Auburn. Octr 4th 'in Cooper's Hall, Clinton. Rev. J. M. Smith will be the chair- mnan. Doors will be open each evening at 7 o'clock. Concert will commence at 8. Notice the red letter posters and don't fotget the dates.

NON-SUITED.—Thes. case'of John Wilkin vs. C. M. Dunlop et al.. an action for alleged malicious arrest, was tried at the Perth Assizes Last week. It appears that J. C. Smith, private banker of Seaforth, had a couple of forged notes passed on him. Ile suspected Wilkin of do- ing it and had him brought back from Scott City, Kansas, and tried. The:result of the trial was the ac- quittal of Wilkin, who now claims that there was no justification for the proceedings against him and asks for damages from Dunlop, the constable, who brougght`him back, and Smith, who brought the action. The plaintiff was non -suited. • ZURICH FALL FAIR.—The annual fair of the Hay Agricultural Associa- tion was'held at Zurich on Friday. The entries were fully up to last year's. The inside show was extra good. Grain, roots, vegetables and fruit were very good, considering the dry season. The show of horses and cattle was fair only. Machinery was not well represented. An in- teresting feature was the electric town clock invented by G. Hese, of Zurich, which was in full opera- tion on the grounds. The receipts at the gate were about one-fourth of last year's. Considering the wea- ther, as there was a constant rain from morning till night and very stormy; the officer -are well pleased with the result.' --Dr. Brown`eSequard's elixir was tried on an old lady living near Bath, Ont., bedsriddeu for many years with rheumatiatn.

AND DON'T FORGET THAT OF THURSDAY, ALL DAY. • • LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT.—Mr, Justice Rose at the Middlesex as- sizes in Loudon gave a very impor- tant decision , in regard to .the right of a police officer to handcuff a prisoner. A man was arrested and taken before a magistrate for furnishing a Central Prison convict with tobacco. The judge held there was nothing wrong in this but he severely reprimauded 4J o detective whe made the arrest, for using the handcuffs. To handcuff an untried prisoner, unless he he resists arrest,is trespass, according Li to the law, and iu this case the detective will pay the handcuffed man $200 damages and the cost of the suit. Police officers will be protected in the performance of their duty, but the law is very w jealous of the liberty of the subject. —In France during the election just concluded the Government susp- ended ten provincial priests from their functions for preaching against the Government. —The province of Kii, in the southwestern part of 'Japan, has been visited by the greatest floods known in the history of the country. Over 15,000 people have beau killed, seyeral towns have been destroyed and others have been wrecked. The catastrophe was caused by floods in the western part of the province and the crumbling of a uiountain,which buried six villages. The early part of August was re- markable for its rains and the rapid rise of the rivers soon became alarm• ing. The losses in lives and money will never be known, as whole towns have been annihilated , leaving no survivors to tell the story. The wreckage is strewn along the sea coast for ninety miles. The Japan- ese newspapers think the loss of live does not fall below 15,000. FALL FAIRS. Clinton, September 24 to 26, Goderich, September 17 to 19. Seaforth, September 16 and 17.
