Tin 'TOitosT0 Empire was the only daily paper that we noticed With special mentions of the daily doings, of the Huron Central Fair held at Clinton last week. This comes of having .an enterprising friend at "court" as well in the Society, and when anyone gets a- head of assistant secretary W. H. Cooper jr., in the matter of news for the city press, he will have to get up early on Monday morning and stay awake alt week. A DocToR that takes his own medicine is said to ho a rarer acid. Tho old, old "exception proves the rule" bobs up once and a while to prove the truth of the old saying. A case in point : Dr. Scott of Sea - forth was a judge, at the Huron Central Fair: His confreres award ed lirst prize fur single covered buggy to John Leslie of Clinton. The Doctor, to show that he had faith in his own fraternity, beg pardon, judgment, bought the buggy afterward—takiughis own medicine so to speak. OUR OLD FRIEND.—Mr. Harry Cantulou was in town last week during our Fair. Ile was highly pleased with the whole exhibit. Situation and other things consider- ed, he declares it equal to any city one. And, by the way, we learn that after five years faithful service in the employ of Armstrong & Co. of Guelph, ha has amicably severed his connection with that firm :and engaged With the McLanghlin Co. of Oahawa as their traveller. We would have liked that When Harry made a change to have seen him 'go into hnsiness here ; when he doss feel like doing so we will guarl%htee him a hearty welcome by business men and all others of hie old time friends. Harry was always a "square" ratan though he d:d con- sidel•able business in circles. We wialt hint every success in his •new dcpart.ure, and if truth, diligence and a knowledge of the business he is ongagod in well command it, then it will be his. .m:.vJetwir::aa."S:V ON another Rage will be found, the Goderich prize list for horses cattle, cheep and swine.

When near 'the bridge on the Bayfield road just outside the town, tho runrbli'ng or tooting of the railway train frightened tho•animals and the lad either fell off or was pulled off the horse he was riding on, and trampled to death by tho animal. KILLED EV TUE Cans.—Wodnes- day morning as Kato 1)eeves, an un- married daughter of Mr. John Doeves of Goderich Township, was walking on the railway track just south of the Clinton station, the L. 1I. and.

The engineer Saw her on the ;rack, slacked up and blew the whistle, but unfortunately deceased was deaf, and before the train could be brought to a full stop the fatal work was dune. An inquest was considered unnecessary. Deceased was aged 30 years. Dean DENIZEN OF THE FOREST.–A very unique exhibit at the Fair was the head of a moose, a species of deer like the elk of Europe. It was nicely mounted and furnished with artificial eyes and placed in position so that it was looking wistfully at the miniature lake formed by S Davis' fountain. This exhibit is the property of Mrs. Whitehead, and was presented , to that lady by Mr. Ross of Manitoba. The animal was shot near White - mouth by an employer in the lumber woods of Mr. Ross, and presented to Mrs. Whitehead by the latter gentleman. The animal weighed 1,500 lbs. Pueblo Smoot, BOARD met Mon- day evening._ The most important part of the business transacted was the passage of a resolution authoriz- ing the clerk to take preliminary steps for changing the tjrne for holding Trustee elections, and the mode of conducting the satne. The next trustee elections will be held on the same day as for municipal councillors, and by ballot. There was a very interesting discussion over the proposed change, and though there is much to be said in favor of retaining the existing sys- tom we think the change is one more in accord with sound public policy. We have thought so and said so for years. The ballots for school trustees will be altogether separate from those for councillors, so that electors will have the saute liberty of choice as at present and a fuller expres•lion of the popular voice will bo made, 200 Books at •10 Cents Each, or 3 for 25 Cents. The usual price of there Books is front 20c to 40o each. 0 We also have 3 Tables in the centre of the front part of the Store, loaded with the Biggest Bargains you ever saw, and contain a variety of articles.

The Woodstock Evening Sentinel- Revktc says : "There died in \Vood- stock ou Saturday morning, Septem- ber 28th, Robert Todd, aged 23 years, 2 months and 19 days. Tho deceased was stricken with pleurisy a year ago last spring, from the effects of which he never fully re- covered. Last spring ho had a second attack, undermining his constitution and resulting as above. He was born at \Valkertou, Bruce county', and was a model -young man of many sterling qualities. Ile was a priutor by calling, and served an apprenticeship of five years with Ills brother, A. M ; on 'fire Ilunox News-1tEconn, first commencing on the 11 run Signal. He afterwards held positions of trust on Boston, Siulcoe, Blytlr and Lindsay papers, was foreman of the It reninrj Standard, and at one time employed in the Job Department of -tile Sentinel -Res Lew, Woodstock. 1[e was illways faithful in the dis- chargeof his duties,, truthful and honest in all his dealings, and made inany frieuds.• To know him was to love hint. Latterly he was foreman of the Uxbridge Time.., at which place he also made many watm friends. Ho was -.re- moved ih his sickness to Wood- stock. Just ono short year ago he was married to a Woodstock young lady—Miss Fraser—and she and a seven weeks aid baby son aro left to mourn his demise. IIo died firm in the faith of a true Christian. Bev. Messrs. Farthing and Cuthbert - son were very attentive in adminis- tering to his every spiritual want. IIis brother arrived here on Friday, and Robert whispered that he " was striving to live to speak to him." This desire was, gratified, and the Lord claimed the young heart as His own. A very large concourse of people, young and old, who were acquaint ed with the deceased, took a last look at poor Robert on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Tho funeral took place on Monday to the Episcopal cemetery.• Rev. Mr. Farthing conducted the burial ser- vice, roforring specially to the life of deceased as worthy of imitation, and his death as a happy one—his last hours, the rev. gentleman know, boirig a close and happy communion with Christ, By request of deceas- ed the pall bearers were all mem- bers of tho "art preservative "—J. E. Thompson, 13. J. Rae, Jehn Mc - Loan, James Crandon, Chas. Stew- art, W. Haines, of the Sentinel -Re- view, Standat'd and Times. The heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends in Oxford and Huron counties is extended to the bereaved young widow and child and sorrow- ing relatives. While on his stick bed the deceased often repeated the following : The hour of my departure's come ; I hear the voice that calls ine•honte : At lass, 0 Lord ! let trouble cease, And let thy servant die in pears. The race appointed I have run ; The combats o'er, the prize is won : And ttow my ,witness- is on high, And now my record's in the sky. Not in arsine innoeeneo I t ust ; I how before thee in the dust ; Anil through my Saviour's blood alono I hops for Mercy at thy throne, I leave the world without a tear, Save for the friends I hold so dear ; To heal their sorrows, Lord, descents, And to the flientlioss prove a friend. I come, I come, at thy command. I give my spirit to thy hand ; Stretch forth thine -everlasting arms, And shield me in the last rtlat•ms. , The hour of my departure's ctimo I hear the voice that calls me home : Now, 0 My ('toll ! let trouble cnase• ;tit Now let thy servant die in peace.

TONTINE DEFEATS DIOOIIELItI1IT 1\ THREE STRAIGHTS. r - A Great Exfl!!Iioq A 1110 CROWD WITNESS SATURDAY'S $1 ,000 EVENT ON QUEEN'S PARK —Tile ViCTORY TOO EASY TO BE E101T1'NO." Tontine, the bay stallion from Clinton, is still the king of the turf —that is as far as Western Ontario is concerned. Ile won that title some years ago aril maintained it in gr.! hint style on the Queen's Park track Saturday afternoon by beat lug ;\Iooreliglit, O'Neil & Fergu- son's black Kentucky bred colt --- who has attracted so much attention among brooders of trotting horses in this district lately—as well as the 51,000 purse and a "bar'1" of outside looney for his owner. Tho trot came off under the brightest of September skies, on a track that was in superb condition mull before a crowd of about 800 turfinen and lovers of horseflesh. A large -dele- gation came down front the -northern counties, and they at once adopted the Clinton horse as their favorite, while the local sports divided their opinions -and put up their money between the two. A large amount of money changed hands ou the re- sult, but not as much by nue-third as if the victory had been ou the other side. Before the ince-day odds of 3 to 1 weld easily obtained on Tontine, and to largo pot of money was put up at that figure, but on Saturday, when horse -mon had au opportunity to see the two horses spurting, the odds wore quickly reduced. After the second heat old-time turfman were almost confident that the veteran was defeated, although Ito had taken the first two heats, and they were particularly satisfied in this opinion when tlioy observed` the old reliable Billy Penman, the Detroit trainer, behind the London stallion. The time made was not nearly as fast as had been expected, as both owners claimed records in the forties for their horses. The judges were Messrs. T. D. I-Iodgins, of London ; Julrn Diamond, of Orkney, and Peter McGregor, of I3rucefield. Ald. Henry Dreaney acted as starter. ' Tho first heat was a miserable one, and all the onlookers were more than surprised at, the slow 'tinge made and the oase with which Moorelight was defeated. Tontine drew the pole, and his driver John- son, pushed him to the front just after the animate had been given the "go." The heat was never in doubt from that moment, and the bay passed under the wire a winner by a couple of open lengths in 3 01. The second heat wits a very pretty one. The judges seemed to bea ,little inclined towards Beacom's horse, and gave him the advantage of the start by half a length. This he quickly increased to three or four lengths, when Moorelight bloke at the head of the quarter stretch, and maintained it until the three-quarter was reached, Ivhon the little horse commenced to creep up inch by inch. Both were trotting magnifi- cently. At the head, of the final stretch Tontine lost his feet for a mintite, but Johnson quickly recov- ered him. Penman was taking every advantage, and in a jiffy had his noble little anitnal at his oppo• nent's flank. Thie excitement be- came intense, and Me bat;kera of each yelled words of encouragement the drivers of their favorites. Both t -d're going at a forty Paco, and when the grand stand was reached it appeared that the black was go- ing to win. Both wore pressed 'hard, but Tontine went under the wire the winner by a neck, ,•. ...:w .ax.....: ...,, ...el .,..-,.

It was then that the backers of Tontine began to fear that they had placed their money on the wrong horse, and tlioso of .Moorelight were correspondingly hopeful. `If Moor's, light wins this heat the race is his; said the knowing ones. Johnson presititod in endeavoring to get the start, and it was not until the judges had signified their iti+ntion of making them go together that he desisted. This heat was a worse one than the first,•and was as easily taken by Tontine, who maintained the head throughout. Following is the summary.

WIIEAT FACTS AND FIGURES The Now York Journal of Coot - mow of Sept 28 dwells at length on the wheat supply and require- ments. It says :— "The strength exhibited by the markets during the past week has made the question of supply and demand an important factor, and everybody realizes that, should an export demand Set iu, the present advance in values would be merely a stepping stone. Estimates made in England place her requirements at 16,000,000 quarters ; France, 2,000,000; Belgium, Holland, and Germany, 3,000,000- Supplies aro to cotno to the extent of 4,000,000 quarters from India, 15,000,000 front the. United Status, and 11,- 000,000 from Russia. England has never during the past fivo years imported less than 15,498,000 quarters, and after producing 9,000,- 000 quarters in 1884, imported 18,224,000 quarters in the same yeor. Last year saw these imports nearly°equalled, and why require- ments should be less this year, With the reserve exhausted, we fail to see, and her necessities are certainly put 2,000,000 too low. The aver- age net imports for ten years of wheat and flour into France is 5,500,000 quarters, and wants are placed by United States statistical agents in Europe at 4,000,000 quarters. "AA to supplies, India shipped a fraction over 4,000,000 quarters in last crop year,, and since the begtntlinrof the present crop year, April 1, is !nearly 1,000,000 quar- ters behind last year's movement. Chili, the Argentine Republic, and Australasia have a paltry 4,000 quarters on passage. t0 Europe. Russia shipped 13,342,000 quarters in 1888, 8,540,000 quarters in 18S7, and is looked to for 11,000,000 quarters this year.'' ' The September agricultural re- port says :—"In largo exporting districts in South Russia the pro- duction varies from 60 to 20 per cent of an average. The heaviest crop as reported by the govern- ment are beyond reach of railroads, and may be counted as nil in iutor- national coma -teem Shipments eiuce Jan. 1 show a decrease com- pared with last year of 400,000 quarters, and 1887's output is not likely to be exceeded. The brunt of the shortage must therefore fall upon the supplies of the United States, and we are expected to fill the European maw to the extent of at least 15,000,000 quarters. The question is, can we do it, and what effect will such demand have upon values 1 With a crop of 457,000,- 000 bushels in 1886 we managed to export 155,000,000 bushels, not- withstanding the previous crop had been a comparative failure, yet the highest point reach©d by No. 2 red in our market was 97 - cents, and during. the greater portion of the year was under 90 cents. Although we produced 488,000,000 bushels this year, a considerable portion is not suitable for shipment, and with stocks depleted as 'they were at the beginning of the crop year, any demand such as the present situa- tion suggests must result in values considerably higher than the preys ent level." FALL. FAIRS. Brussels, October 3 and 4. Blyth, October 8 and 9, —Three people dropped suclded• ly dead at Quebec on Saturday and three in Toronto during the week. —From far away India there ars .ived at Ottawa last week a package containing two silver bowls of native Hindoo workmanship, sent to Sir John by Lord Lansdowne,to remind him and Lady Macdonald "of 'an absent friend. who does not forget Canada." These bowls each weigh 40 ounoes, are 10 inches in diameter and about 8 incluse high, and lined with gold. They were made by East India artisans, and are probab• ty the finest specimens of silver, work in the Dominion. The figures and characters engraved upon them 'represent hundreds of specimens of the animal and vegetable kingdom, and are beautifully delineated. These two'evorks of art will doubt- less be greatly treasured by Sir John and Lady Macdonal",:,
