RAIN WANTED:—Spring grains are
said to have suffered much by the
drouth that has prevailed ever since
they were put in, and there are those
who say they will' be a total failure;
-1this may be a little extreme, but
certainly riot very much Hay in
particular will be a short crop, and
the man who has any old hay on
hand will make money by saving it.
The shower of Monday night has
freshened up everything, but a good
"Waking rain is absolutely necessary
in order to stimulate growth.
MILITARY INSTRUCTION.—An ad-
dition.has been made to the Collegiate
Institute Staff of teachers in the per-
son of Lieut. H. B. CoTbe, who will
henceforth give instruction in mili-
tary drill. Mr Combe is duly quail.'
fled, having lately passed a creditable
examination at the Military School
'Londoir knowing kir Combe's attain-
ments and his devotion to Military
affairs, we may, without in the least
discrediting past instruction at the
Collegiate, expect to see the boys brace
up.
SLIGHTLY PREMATURE.— The
NEW ERA was certainly ahead of
time on Saturday last, when it issued
an extra announcing the death of Sir
John' McDonald, but the mistake
was excusable in view of the fact that
thee. P. R. telegraph had a bulletin
announcing the same, the town flag
was at half mast ; the mayor had in-
formed some of his employes. In all
the cities the same report was Current.
The NEW RBA aims to give the news,
but certainly bad no desire to antici-
pate 3n event of this nature.
CATTLE.—Among the cattle shipp-
ed freed here last week, were the
_ hollowing:—J. Jenkins, Goderich
township, 2 —2230. F. McEwan,
Stanley, 1-1000. H. Crich, Tucker -
smith, 9-11350. J. Proctor, God-
erich township, 2-3160. D. bicTav-
ieh, Stanley, 4-5190. T. Jenkins
Goderich township, 4-4700. Jas
Brown, Hullet township, 3--3590.
W. Shipley, Clinton, 4-4860.
D.Tiplady, Hullett township,2-2500
Jas.Cornish,Hullet township,1-1330
J.Middleton,Goderich township,38-
54930.
BREACH or PRonjis1,'.—The follow-
ing appears among the Legal reports
of the dailies:—A London girl named
Annie Haines, aged 18, is suing Jas.
,Hastie, of Huron County, for $10,000
damages for breach of promise in
marriage. The defendant set up his
defence on the fact that the girl's
father had threatened him with an
action for seduction of the plaintiff,
and that to settle this phase of the
matter it cost Hastie $4.75. Frank
Anglin, the plantiffs counsel,demurr-
ed to that defence, and Tuesday Mr
:Justice Rose decided that the settle-
ment to the charge of seduction was
nQ bar to the action for breach of
prpmise.
PRINTING AND ADVERTISIna. —
Tue following, from the columns of
our local' totem, expresses our senti-
mentsexacly.—For years Clinton has
been "worked" by outsiders for var-
ices advertising and printing, and
the money that should be spent in
these and other lines at home is given
to outside institutions, for what? We
do not know why unless it et that
people like to bulla up other towns.
Do not patronize tramp pedlars or
-oily tongued dealers in wares hand-
led by our own business men. We
have everything in town, sold as low
as elsewhere, and in the majority of
eases the quality is superior. In the
line of printing and advertising the
local orifices are well equipped for
every line of work, and the ground
the local papers cannot cover is not
worth seeking. Money spent on ter-
ritory that the local press does not cov-
er.ie simply thrown away.
How TO USE COAL OIL.—The sad
- accident, which occurred in Hullett
last week, by the use of coal oil, and
the number of accounts of accidents
ought to remind persons to be more
careful in using it properly. In a
trinter's morning the air is full of the
smell of oil burning,by lighting fires,
sometimes it is pouted on live coals,
hence we hear of coal oil cans ex-
ploding. Some parties will blow
tiut their !quips instead of turning
them downn, others will allow the
burners tcget so dirty with the ashes
of the wick, it often gets on fire and
the lamp explodes. Burners ;should
be kept clean. No oil should be
poured on live coals. A torch can
be inside by tying a rag to a pole
with email wire and the rag can then
he satuated with oil and then a
snatch applied, and so teeth after
44reb daft be removed and the same
'Wife used again, and no danger tan
' take plata.
tribution of the License fund for
1891, the sum of $680.
A young man, named West, em-
ployed with Oliver Johnston, got
his hand severely crushed on Tues-
day, by a horse stepping on it.
The parents of both Mr and Mrs
Burley, of town, were well acquainted
with the parents of Sir John McDon-
ald, residing only a short distance
from them.
The semi-annual meeting the W.
County Orange Lodge of South Huron

day, June 13t1.
It is expected that the Orangemen
of this place will attended Rattenbury
St Methodist church,on the afternoon
of the 12th of July,when a special ser-
mon will be preached.
Mr Chas Stapleton, of London, an
old-time Clintonian, was in town

ternational Fraternal Alliance, a
benefit Insurance Company.
The summer excursion rates to
Goderich and•Kinbardine are now in

At a special meeting of the Public
School Board held last Thursday
evening, Principal Lough was ap-
pointed to the board of Examiners
for ktigh schools, in accordance with
the recent amendments to the Act by
the Legislature.
The work of overhauling and re-
fitting McGarva's Salt Block, which
has been under way for some time,
has come to a standstill, owing to
the inability of the repairers to pro-
cure at present certain sheet iron that
is required. The work will go on as
soon as this is secured.
The result of the spring profession-
al examinations for 1891, of the On-

among those who passed the final ex-
ereination:—F. J. Ewing, and C.
Mckay, Seaforth; R T Gibson and J
W Shaw, Clinton; R Knetcbel, Brus-
eels; and Geo. McKenzie, Wingham.
Mr Fenton Hartley, formerly of
the NEw ERA staff, has returned
from Michigan. he brings back
a good account of his, -journeys -
He saw many sights, and met many
kind, and good people, but still
thinks our own country the beat and
afteetravelling from Detroit to Grand
Rapids west, and north to Sault Ste
Marie, he does not think there is a
fairer land than ours.
A very large number of people,
and many from town, attended the
funeral of the late P. Carbert, on Sat-
urday morning last. It is a question
if ther&ever bas been as many people
in the cemetery at one time, as gath-
ered there Sunday afternoon, on the
occasion of the burial of the young
man Hitch, who met his death in so
unfortunate a manner on Friday
afternoon; the grounds were black
with people.
Local Sporting Notes.
Clinton plays junior lacrosse at
Goderich on June 5th (to -day.)
Several of our local sporting men
went to London, on Monday, to wit-
ness the races at that place.
,One of the most important football
matches in the' Western Association
series was played Saturday at Berlin
between the Hurons, of Seaforth, and
the home team. The game ended in
a draw. This leaves the struggle to
Seaforth and Detroit. The Hurons
have now five points, with one match
to play. The Detroits have two
points, with two matches to play.
FOOTBALL MATCH. — Stars of
Brucefield vs Hurons of Seaforth. A
very interesting game of football was
played between the juniors of the'
above clubs on Saturday last, at 2.30
p m, the teams lined up at No 3,
Tuckersmith school house as follows:

M Hart—Referee.
Forbes won the toss for Seaforth
and chose to play south with the
wind and field in his favor. The
Hurons with this advantage made
things, for a time, hot for Brucefield,
and but for the neat defence of Simp-
son and McTavish, and thelsplendid
play of Ross in goal,would have scor-
ed more than once. Half time how-
ever was called with no score. In
the second half Forbes showed him-
self very formidable and his long
runs down the field, placed the
Brucefield goal again in imminent
danger, but the Star backs were play-
ing well and Ross was always in his
place. At length, however, a slight
error by the Brucefield goal keeper
gave Seaforth their first goal. The
ball was again put in motion, and
after some hard play Mason, after a
fine run down the field,tied 15 minu-
tes before the finish. From that time
Brucefleld bad the advantage and
gained two more goals. For the
Winners the playing of Simpson,
Ross and Mason deserve mention
and for the losers that of .Forbes,
Campbell and Stewart.

permission to canvas the town to put
numbers . on housgges where; desired,
same, he ffarties ering alsooto•to name streetfor s
free, wherever he scoured the work of
numbering houses. On • motion it
was referred to the Property Com-
msttee.
STREET COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Mr Plummer, chairman, reported
progress on all the work ordered.
The amount expended to date, was,
$938. He asked whether the balance
of the gravel to be put on should be
fine or coarse. The sidewalk on High
and Victoria streets to the post office,
was ordered to be rebuilt. It was
deoided to put on the balance of
gravel, fine.
The sum of $300 was added to tbf
appropriation of the Street Coni
mi ttee.
Oa motion the sum of $400 wa.
ordered to be withdrawn from the
Special Account, and ended over to
to Treasurer of the uron Central
Agricultural Society.
THE CEMETERY.
Mr Andrews, chairman of the
Cemetery Committee, referred to sev-
eral matters that bad reference to
this place. Among them the
difficulty of securing water, the well
on the ground running dry in the
summer; a complaint bad been lodged
with him stating that a body, in-
terred a year or so ago, encroached
two inches sidedays upon a lot owned
by another party, and the latter
wants the body removed; he asked
for instructions as to what course be
should pursue and the committee was
authorized to do' whatever they
thought best.
CHARITY.
Mi McKenzie, chairman, stated
that Mr Folland bad asked for a little
more;assietance than $2 a week, as his
wife was i11, and what they got was
not :sufficient for their needs. Mr
Doan, a member of the committee,
was willing to do the best they could,
but as the family got about $100 a -
year in charitg,. he thought that suf•
ficient for one family, unless it was a
case of extreme hardship. The
mayor thought the committee should
have brought in a -report and the
council would then know how to act.
The reeve stated that the council
hays never rejected any account that
had been brought in for charity; it
had alyays shown its willingness to
do the very best it could, circum-
stances considered; he thought the
chairman of the committee should do
bis own work without bothering all
the other members. The chairman
said the committee could not agree,
and he wanted an expression of opin-
ion from the council. On motion $1
a week for the next 6 weeks was
added to the allowance.
Mr Manning gave an account of
his visit to Ottawa with the Railway
refund delegation; his own opinion
was that nothing would be done by
the Government, although the claims
of -municipalities affectedby the L. H. & B. iv,re admitted to be the best
of any presented.
Gala Tune on Dominion Day
As we remarked last week, there are
no flies on the committee selected by
the people of this town to organize an
Athletic Day in town ons ,he 1st of
July.
The committee met with a very
hearty reception when they canvassed
our merchants &o, and thus encouraged
have got up a splendid program.
Bills, posters acd programs will be
out soon and then the public will see
the grand treat in store for them.
It is the intention of the committee
to get an Indian Lacrosse team and
Brass Band, to have a great big Base
Ball tournament at which the best
clubs in Western Ontario will compete.
To have an association lacrosse match
between the Incomparable Stratfords
and Dauntless Clinton clubs, teams so
evenly matched that the betting is now
even. To have every Gun club in Hur-
on present to compete for team and
individual prizes.
There will be prizes for the fat farm-
er for his 14 year old boy and girl, the
farmer bringing the largest load of
people will get $10 cash.
Then there will be a great'procession
of Calithumpians; Volunteer drill corps
of the schools in the county.
Then at evening there will be a
monster fire works procession, in which '
the visiting societies will take a promi-
nent part.
Remember that this program is all
guaranteed. Yon may depend upon it
that the committee mean to make a
huge success of it, and if they will they
can.
So expect a great day for Clinton on
Wednesday, July 1st.
