NEARLY CHOKED,—The other
day as Mr W. Steep was hauling a
load of and down a bill he nearly
lost one of his horses. It slipped
down and before he could stop the
other, it dragged its mate a consider-
able distance along the road, almost
choking it.
A Coon YIELD —Mr George Dale,
of Hullett; deliyered his fall wheat at
Fair's mill, one day last week, and
found that it turned out 63 lbs. to the
.bushel and 42i bushels to the acre.
We have heard of others who have
also bad grain that went as high as
this in weight, but none higher to
the acre.
INSURANCE MATTERS. --The regu-
lar meeting of the directors of the
McKillop Insurance Co. was held at
Seaforth, on Friday'last. The claim
of Mr Ryan, of Logan, $1,500, for the
burning of his barn, was ordered to
be paid. This, with a few animals
killed by lightning, was the only loss
of the year. An assessment of 5 per
• cent was levied, being 2 per cent less
than in 1889.
ONTARIO EXHIBIT,—The Presi-
dent and Secretary or the Huron
Central are busy making a hand-
some collection of Ontario Cereals
and productions to form a large and
pleasant attraction for the coming
Fair. It will afford visitors an ex-
cellent opportunity of making com-
parisons with exhibits from Manito-
ba and the North West.
TEACHERS —The' date for the fall
meeting of the East Huron Teachers'
Association has been fixed for the
9th and 10th of October. Wingham
will be the place of meeting. Among ,
those taking part in the program are
Mr D Robb, I. P. 5., Mr Prendergast,
of Seaforth Collegiate Institute, Mr

NEw OrmeE.,—Mr ,inter* lr, air,
of the Clinton Flour lisllls, finding
his preirept office unsatisfactory far
his business,and the 'room being re-
quired, bas et the contract to T. Mc.
Kenzie, for the erection of a brick
office on the corner immediately
south of the mill.
THE COMING HURON CENTRAL
EXHIBIT/MI.—The handsome bills
of this Exhibition will be distributed
in a few days. The announcements
of the various attractions for citizen'
day will be made a few days later,
and it is safe to say that they will be
better than any offered in this dis-
trict and will open the eyes of the
people in this section. The dates
are a little later than usual, hut this
has been done to give the public a
chance to see the beet of all.
EVENED UP NOW.—The editor of
the Brussels Post, trying to get even
with those of his cotemporaries who
have been poking fun at him about
his "second hand baby carriage,"
tells the editors of the Blyth Standard
and Wingham Advance that "he bas
a bottle with a rubber tube he could
let them have, if they are not yet
weaned." Is this an admission that
he is being "brought up on the bot-
tle" himself? We did think better
of the Poet editor than this, but
there is no accounting for tastes.
THE MODEL SCHOOLS—The classes
at the Model Schools in Clinton and
Goderich will be exceptionally large
this year, applications to the number
of thirty-six baving.been received at
each. Seventy-two students gradu•
sting for the teaching profession in
the couutv, is a very good showing
for our s.bools.--Star. [Several of
those who had intended taking their
course have gone back to the High
Schools, and neither Goderich or
Clinton have, therefore, quite the
number first intended There are
thirty attending here.
NOT PLEASANT CUSTOMERS—Very
few business men complain of an
overplus of customers, but Cantelon
Bros. were "favored'' with a crowd on
Tuesday that they cid not know
to get rid of. In the morning they
took in some honey from a customer,
and in the afternoon their store was
crowded with about every bee in the
county. They came into the store in
swarms, and there was no keeping
them out They literally covered
everything in the premises, and all
efforts to destroy them were futile tor
a time.
NoTEs.—Mr A. W. Carslake has
lately secured an artificial leg, manu-
factured in Lucknow, that he claims
gives him better satisfaction than any
similar article he has hitherto used.
The family of Mr W. M. Giffin intend
to take up their residence in Sarnia,
where they have friends residing; Mr
Giffin will still remain and transact
business in the county, as usual. Mr
Hartnell, teacher, Goderich township,
has lately purchased a Safety Bicycle
froom Cooper & Co., Clinton. Mr
Wilber Nugent (formerly of Clinton)

accepted a situation in the Essex
Centre High School, at a much higher
salary. Mr L. Manning, of the base
line, has rented his farm to his son,
and intends to move into Clinton to
reside. Mr F. Densted, late of
Blyth, has taken a situation with

THE PIONEER SOCIAL,—Although t GOODS ARRIVING
the social given in connecticn with
the Rattenburry Street Sabbath
School, on Friday evening last,
did not come up to expectations n• DAILY
its "pioneer" features, a very en-
joyable evening was spent, the de-
ficiency being entirely unavoidable
responsibility therefor not resting
on the shoulders of the promoters,
one or two who had been counted on
as "pioneers," and who are truly
such, not being able to be present,
and deliver an address, as expected.
The room was decorated with candles,
and other articles belonging to a by-
gone age, but the supper was of the coo ---
most modern kind. Rev. Mr Shilton
occupied the chair, and made a
abort opening address; Mr John
Jackson, as one of the pioneer mem-
bers of the church, gave an interest-
ing account of the rise of Methodism

A PRETTY SIGHT.—One of the
best features of the amusement part
of the Exhibition this year will be

attempted in that line in this section

La( 1,00.1.—The fire ball lacros-e
match, played last Monday night,
between teams representing the town
and Organ Factory, proved a grand
success in every respect. The boys,
headed by the Doherty band, marched
to the grounds, two of the players
tossing a lighted ball, and as they
passed along more than one was
heard to say, "Ain't that grand?"
On their arrival at the grounds the
band played a selection, andthen the
referee lines) the teams for battle,
which was both interesting and amus-
ing, and the large crowd more than
once filled the air with shouts, but
they just yelled when it was announc-
ed that one of the players had his b.
b. moustache singed. The boys de-
serve great credit for the way they
managed things, and should they at-
tempt anything of the kind again,
they may expect a much larger crowd
than that of Monday night. The
score stond 2 goals to 2, and the game
was, the:efore, a draw.
