Phipps, of Goderich township, brought tee on Wednesday, a sample of fall wheat, sown on the 30th of .August last, that has attained the exceptional length of 13 inches. Wheat generally is do- ing wall this season. BARLEY.—During the past week an immense amount of barley has been delivered at Irwin's storehouse, The price at Clinton, being several cents bigger than at any other point in the county. It was brought here from as far north as Lucknow, and a the vicinity of the storehouse looked like a show ground, so thickly cover- ed was it with horses and waggons. ' The price bas fallen slightly during the last few days, FINED,—On Tuesday a warrant was issued tor the arrest of a man, named Fred Johnston, of Goderich, charged with being drunk and dis- orderly, and with cruelty to animals and with carrying concealed weapons. Constable Wheatley enforced the warrant and the man was tried before Messrs McGarva and Steep, J. Pa., who fined him $20 and costs for carry- ing a revolver; the other charges not being pressed. The revolver was also confiscated, so the fellow was out that and $26. CoNV1CTIoNs.—The list of convic- tions made by the magistrates in the county for the ginner ending lst inst., number 48. Of these 11 were by Goderich magistrates, 8 by Sea - forth, 6 by Clinton, 4 by Brussels, 7 by Exeter and the others by magis- trates elsewhere. Of the ofencet 7 were for violation of the license law, 4 of the informations being laid by the South Riding Inspector, 2 by the West Riding Inspector, and 1 by the East Riding. The total amount of the fines imposed was $379, of which there were 5 $50 fines and 2 $20 fines. ONLY PARTLY TRUE.—The Gode- rich Signal says; --"Mr G. C. Maedel, of Clinton, was a visitor to the fair this week. He is a former Goderich boy and, strange to say, he has begun to feel himself at home in Clinton." [The Signal should have stated the whole case. It did take him some time to feel at home here, quite true, and even yet he is not fully reconcil- ed, but the reason was because the change between Goderich and Clin- ton was so great. Goderich possess- ed so many toughs and so Large a class of the hoodlum element, that, mingling with respectable people here, be felt i11 at ease until he be- came accustomed to his surroundings. The Signal will, of course, publish this correction. EARLY SNOWFALL.-6I1S8 M. Tre- wartha, writing from Edgely, N. W. T., under date of the 13th inst., says; —"Yesterday we went to a picnic; had to wear our fur coats, went in a buggy, ut there was of snow -- on the ground, found that the picnic was put off for two weeks till warm . weather would come. It commenced to snow on the IOth and by the 11th of September there was over a foot of snow and very cold, harvest not near through, the standing grain was laid nearly flat; some of the farmers think it will raise again others think they will not be able to cut the re- .' mainder of their grain at all; my brother-in-law bad 55 acres of wheat which was all 'cut but a few acres, but the oats were quite green; he thinks he will have to take the mow- er to them, this iA a queer country tbe snow and cold so early is quite a new experience to the farmers out.

In four more days we shall be on the Last quarter of 1890. The County Treasurers' sale of land for taxes takes place at Goderich, on the 2od Of December. Nearly all the up trains have been late this week, a result of the tax on their resources, caused by the fairs. Mr W. King and wile, of Denver, arrived here ou Saturday, and expect to remain here. Mrs Duncan, who has been at the all working together with a mathema- Soo and elsewhere, returned home a tical exactitude and a precision as few days since, and looks well, at- wonderful to contemplate as it is dif- though she bas been slightly indis. ;cult to attain. :W. Doherty & Co., Clinton, Ont., are among the oldest and most extensive manufacturers in Canada ; their organs are to be found in all civilized parts of the globe. W. Doherty, the founder and head of the firm, has always personally managed the business, producing only instru- ments that should represent to the utmost degree the improvements and perfection of the art, which should be abreast with musical and artistic cul- ture, and the material and finan- cial progress of the country. Their exhibit is attractive and instructive, an example of progress and inventive genius. Do not let any other engage- ment interfere with your seeing it. It occupies a very prominent position just southwest of the fountain in the main building. This week they are exhibiting at the Western in London. Mr Doherty also exhibits a span of driving horses, a well -matched pair of Chestnuts, named respectively, Topsy and Lady Mc. Topsy has a trotting record of 2.301. Lady Mc is a half sister of Gold Ring 2 18. Topsy carried off the second prize in roadster class.

GODERTCH SHOW.—We fully ex- pected that we would have been able to publish this week, the Prize List of the Goderich Show. but, unfortun- ately we are not able to do so. which go to make the Doherty organ what it is—the perfect organ of the niueteenth century --one of the house- hold gods in 15,000 happy and cul- tured homes? A high grade organ is the result of years of study and ex- perience on the part of a score or more skilled workmen. who make use of over twenty different kinds of ma- terial, use about 4,800 pieces, each having its special purpose and result, posed. Rev John Hough, formerly of Londesboro, who has been visiting friends hereabouts, returned home, via Clinton, on Friday last; he seems tobave "renewed bis youth"and looks as vigorous and zealous as of yore. 'lir T. Jackson, of Jackson Bros., re- turned from Toronto on Friday, where he bad been in the intereet of the firm, and secured a large number of orders; their fame as c;othiers seems to be world-wide. Mr Bruce, sr., father of T. C. Bruce, dentist, who has been here for several days, owing to the illness ot his son, re- turned home on Monday; Mr Bruce ie quickly recovering, and expecte to be out before long. Mr F. Bakes and wife, of Woodstock, are this week here on a visit. Miss Turner, of Tara, is tbe guest of Miss McKow- en. Mr Taylor, brother of Mrs Edge, was here on a short visit lest week, A couple of persons skipped out from here last week, without paying their board bill, they were followed to Sea • forth, but they escaped the clutches of the law. Quite a sharp frost was experienced on Tuesday night; it is getting around to the time of year when such things may be looked for. Messrs Davis & Rowland are going to put a furnace in the Dry Goods Palace; they will also put one in the house of Mr D. H. Porter, Bayfield road, Stanley. Mr Will Potts, ex- press messenger on the Southern Division of the Grand Trunk, is taking an enforced holiday, his med- ical adviser having ordered him to lay off for a time. Master Fred Davis, of this town, wbo has been working bis farm in Manitoba this summer, will put in the winter be. bind the counter in White's hardware store, Winnipeg. Mr H. LeB. Bartt has taken a position in the Dry Goode Palace, and Mr Cookman, late of Goderich, has taken a position with Mr J. Robertson. Mr D. Dickinson and Mrs T. Cooper have very greatly improved the appearance of their property on Albert street, by ter- racing the front along the edge of the street; it makes such a vast im- provement that others are likely to follow suit. We are indebted to Mr Geo. Baird, of Stanley, for a basket of very large beautiful apples. The family of Mr William RumbaIl has moved to London; he has been work- ing there some tin. A great many tickets have been sold to London this week; a special train ran part of the week to accommodate the crowds from this section. Mrs Whitting- ham, of Qu'Appelle, who has been down here visiting for some time, left fur home on Tuesday. Mrs Whitting- ton, of Muskoka, also returned home tbe same day. A little child, of Mr Wm Young, baker, fell down an open cellar, on Wednesday, but was not hurt beyond a severe shaking. Mr John Hunt, (eldest son of Mr H. Hunt) left yesterday for Galt, where he expects to learn a machinist's trade. The annual supper ot the Foresters was fixed for last (Thurs- day) night, at Kennedey's Hotel; it was to take the place also, of a fare- well supper to Mr J. C. Cole. _ Church Work. The Mission Band of Willis church were addressed by Mrs Ross, of Bruce - field, at their meeting yesterday. Rev J. Edge has been holding special services for about three weeks at Turner's appointment. They have been moderately successful, but are likely to be closed in a few days. In the course of one of his sermons on Sunday, REv. Mr Shiltnn gave an illustration from an actual circum- atance,that is worth preserving. He was speaking ot the tendency to ex- travagance at funerals, and caused a smile to gather on many faces by this illustration:—A man and wife were talking about funeral extravag- ance, the husband urging that sim- plicity was the beat. The wife said "why if I should die you would get a hearse for me, wouldn't you?" "No," replied the husband. I would do like they did in olden times, get six holy women to carry you out." "It would be a good deal easier to get a hearse," was the quick reply of the wife. We believe we are within the mark in saying that the very best address of the series,of addressee, now being given at the weekly meetinge of the Y. P. C. E. Society, of Rattgenbnry street church, was that deliyend last Monday evening, by one of the young- est members ot the society, Mr Louis Carter. The title of the address was "The power of little things." It was delivered from memory, lasted 15 minutes, and contained just as many admirable and excellent points as could possibly be compressed within I The Air•w Ens is the largest paper in an address of that length of tine, the county. It given more home news while the language and ideas were greatly superior to those ot the aver• age. It was one that would have a POCKET BOOK LOST.—Mrs J Tay- lor was so unfortunate on Wednesday morning as to lose a pocket book, containing quite a cum of money and some receipts. The pocket book was dropped some where between Wise - man's store and the Post Office. The finder will be rewarded by handing the sale to Mrs Taylor, and will be doing at the some time an honest and friendly act. Henn TIMES IN DAKOTA,—Mr W. G. Stewart, formerly of the London road. writes from Harlem, Dak., on the 22nd of Sept. as follows:—"Crops here this season are almost a total failure. I sowed 150 bus. of wheat last spring and threshed 282 bus. of chicken feed. In the northern part of North Dakota crops are good,some farmers threshed as high as 25 bus. per, acre. It will be hard times with the farmers in this vicinity for the winter." CHOICE SMOCK.—Mr Geo Hoare, Clinton, has purchased from J. G. Snell and Bros, their fine Berkshire sow, Queen Bee, winner of second prize, at the Iate Toronto Industrial, in one year and under two sections. Mr John Hoare, Manchester, has al- so purchased a superior young Boar from the . same gentlemen, from im- ported ese animals have cost high figure stock. Both hand will be shipped at the conclusion of the London•Exhibition. The people of Brussels and Exeter are evidently a green lot and haven't cut their eye teeth yet, when they can be taken in as they were lust week, by "Mexican Charlie" on the watch racket. But then what could be expected of people in the back- woods.—Clinton NEW ERA. "Mexican Charlie" is after Money and be visits towns in which there is lots of the "stuff" hence his pas6ing Clinton. "Mexican Charlie" is long headed in many respects.—Exeter Times. He is after "suckers" as well, and he stops off where he knows he can find them. Hence his successful visit to Exeter. SETTLE AMONti THEMSELVES.— Our town totem and a correspondent take exception to the statement in last week's Naw ERA that "Mr John Scott, who boards at Bell's Hotel, won $1000 in the St. Leger races." Mr Scott and Mr Bell were our in- formants, and made the statement on two separate occasions, further ac• companied by the remark that "he would receive that amount, less 10 per cent commission." We made no comment on it, and only a supercil- ious critic would assume that Fve ap- plauded it. Mr Bell still states that the Naw Etta's statement was cor- rect on the information given it, but the mare afterwards lost her place in the race, though Mr Scott had been notified that she had it. mori local news, more general news than any other paper, and for the bal- an•,0 of the year will be sent to new one credit to persons much older in sl scribers for the small sum of 2, life, and to those usually supposed toII cents, cash. be better posted in technical know- ( And to new snbseribers paying ayear ledge, and certainly gave evidence of in advance, the balance of this year will unusual ability• be given free. 1-1:615)1-1:615) o i :r:s-y� t resp Nit '+ate MILLINERY Show Room Opening ON SATURDAY NEXT.
