There was the usual array of legal talent present. ACCEPTABLE.—A few days since Mrs Dowser, whose husband recently died Lere, received from the Royal Template of Temperance, a cheque for $2,000, being the amount of insur- ance on ler late husband. She also received $150 for sick benefits. RATHER SCARCE.—On Saturday last oats could not be procured at any price at any of our flourishing feed stores, there are at present plenty of oats in the country, but the farmers hanging on to them„ as they expect the standing crop will be very short. , ACCIDENT.—The other day as Mr. Geo. Hurlbert and sister, of Mitchell, were on their way to Clinton to visit friends, their horse., ran away, and they were both thrown out. No bones were broker., but Mr. Hurlbert was pretty badly used up, and bad to be taken back home. Before the horse was captured, it had succeeded in wrecking the buggy pretty badly. FOR ENGLAND.—W. Jackson re- ports the following passengers for the Old Country Last month :—Jas. Fair and wife ; Miss J.'McKenzie, Miss A. McKenzie by the Beaver line steamer, Lake Ontario ; Rev. Mr. Newton, Rev. Mr. Hodgins by the Teutonic; T. R. Mitchell by the Brittanic,of the White Star Line, and Percy Gilbert by the Polynesian, of the Allan Line. 1.14C1PIENT FIRE.—On Thursday afternoon, of last week, the Flax mill narrowly escaped distraction by t, ' fire. ' In some unknown way, the building caught fire along the side, 11 but very fortunately was immediate- ly discovered, and extinguished be- fore it had made any headway. Had it got a start of half a minute nothing could have saved the entire building. 1• . I THE BASE BALL OONTEe . , atarte& at 1 p.m., competingll, St. Helen All our sats and and Clinton clubs fox a «?;dyer he St. Helene first, St. Helene team winning by 11 rune to 10 St. Helens then played the Clinton club, beating therm by 16 to 11. All three olubs played good base ball, and the games were full of interest. CRICEET was neat in starting, shortly after,with Mitchell and Clinton Victoria cricket olubs The Victories went to bat and made 117 rune, some of the boys making tremendous scores. Mitchells let inn- ings gave them 35, and their 2nd 45, total 80, which gave the Viotorias the game by one innings and 37 runs. Great interest was centered in the GUN CLUB TOURNAMENT Crack clubs from Goderich, Seaforth, Exeter, and Clinton were present.— Clinton, in the team shoot, made 63; Goderich, 58; Seaforth, 55; Exeter, 48, Clinton winning the first silver cup, and Goderich club winning the second silver cup. The individual prize medal was won by George Hinohley, of Clin- ton, who made 17 out of a possible 18, and who was closely run by John Mc- Murray, who made 16 out of the 18. The Clinton club is therefore the cham- pion club of Huron, and Mr Hinchley the champion shot of the county. THE FOOT RACES AND JUMPING were all well contested, but lack of space forbids a detailed acpount of eith. er the races or jumping, FOOREAU.. Any of our subscribers can tell if their paper is paid in advance or not, as well as we can in this office, by looking at the label upon the first page. If you find your paper is not marked '92 be good enough to remit at once. Dear reader, if you are in arrears, we want to hear from you at Once. In the following paragraph from the Windsor Record, a well-known brash artist from Clinton is referred to:—The LaBelle & Central Drug Store have on exhibition two hand- some crayon drawimrs of flowers, drawn by Chas.. Bowers, of Mossop & Co's staff. They are worthy of notice. THE HURON CENTRAL. — The Prize Lists for the Huron Central • Exhibition are now in the Secretary's hands, and intending exhibitors may • secure copies and get themselves posted. The officers of the Society are bound to keep up the interest in ' ' this p$putar fair, and will introduce a number of new features that are both attractive and " entertaining. The dates for the fair are Sept 28, 29 and 30. Church Notes. Rev J. Livingstone of Listowell, and RevA.Stewart,wili exchangepul- pits on Sunday next. Mr Living- stone will also preach to the Masons, in the town hall, at 3:30 p.m. This match was played by electric light, between the East Huron teacher's and the town foot ball clubs. The game resulted in a draw, neither side scoring. Thus ended a splendid day's sport. The Sporting Committee desire to express their gratitude to the business men and others, for their liberality in aiding them to make the sports a suc- cess. The officers -of the Gun Club also desire to acknowledge the kindness of the same. Although we have in hand the scores of the Gun Club, eto., we find it utterly impossible to get it into type for this issue, so much other news com- ing to hand late on account of the holi- day. UNION MEETING.—A union meet- ing of the East and West Huron Teachers' Associations will be held in Clinton on Thursday and Friday the 10th and 11th of September. WELL DONE.-Tbe members of the fife and drum banckwill dou their new uniforms on the 12th. The boys have made good progress and are worthy of much praise. The sacramental services of Willis Church were held on Saturday and Sunday last. Rev Mr McMillan,(asaiat- ant to Rev A. McDonald Seaforth) preached on Saturday, and Rev D M. Ramsay, of Londesboro, on Sunday evening. The new Roman Catholic church here was formally consecrated on Wednesday, by the Rt. Rev Dr O'Connor, of London, assisted by priests from adjacent parishes. Af• ter the consecration service, the Bis- hop delivered an address, explana- tory of all the services. The Strat- ford choir rendered excellent music during the service; the offertory, a liberal one, will go towards the ex- penses incurred in connection with the purchrae and fitting up with the property—about $3,000. In the evening a sacred concert was given. All t,e cervices were well attended. The Watford Guide thus refers to a son of Mr J Butt, of the Base Line:—Rev Mr Butt preached his last sermon in the Glencoe Metho- dist church previous to his leaving for his new appointment at Chatham on Sunday evening. It was not a special "farewell" sermon, but at its' close Mr Butt made a few remarks fitting the occasion, referring to the pleasant relations between pastor and congregation during his three years stay in Glencoe and trusting that his successor would experience the same agreeable relations. Mr Butt leaves many warm friends in Glencoe. PoSrAL MATTERS—Commencing with the let of July, the Clinton Post Office will be what is technical- ly known as a "daily reporting office" that is instead of reporting to the department at Ottawa, the money order and saving's depoaite returns four times a month, they will be re- turned nightly. The money order and saving's branch will therefore close sharp at 6.80 p In daily. LosT MONEY. -.The temptation to retain that which belongs to ethers, especially when in the shape of ready e' money, is evidently more than some people can withstabd. Last week a lady lost a pocket book containing about $30, and although she advertis- ed her loss, the money, whish must • have bean found, never reached her. Another party lost $20 on the street,' and a lady from Manchester ale* lost her pocket book, yet none of these have got back to their owners. CROP Pnospncvs.—In the immedi- ate neighborhood of this town, and in some sections of the county, the crops. look very well. Take the sec- tion of country viewed any where along the London road; and they look fine, and judged by this section, one might conclude that a bountiful hal' eat awaited the husbandman, but we are sorry to say that such is not the Case universally, In the western portion of Goderich town- ship, and in the greater parte of Col- borne and Ashfield the crops will be an entire . failure. These sections i score being 8 to 8. In addition to Bonnets must be cleaned out in. days. Prices no object. You can have them at your own prices. Profits out of the question.

A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM.— It would be hard to find a younger and more proficient musician for his years than the organist who presides at the Baptist church, and as vocalist he also excels, it is pleasant to hear his young sweet voice leading the congregation in praise and than)rs• giving. Too Low.—A Lumber of the people have expressed the opinion that a mistake was made in . placing the flag staff in the yard of the public school; they think that it would be an improvement to remove it, and place one on the building. It would certainly make the flag more con - vicious whenever used. SUDDEN DEATH. — Mr Richard Murphy, who has been stopping for short tithe with his brother Wm, on the gravel road, just north of town, went over to Mr Ben Churchill's, on Sunday morning, apparently in a8 good health as he ever enjoyed. While walking about he dropped dead without a struggle. He former- ly resided on the 16th con. of Gode- rich township. He made his home at Stratford, where his wife and fam- ily were. It has been definitely arranged that Conductor Snider will preach in Clinton the first Sunday in August. The probabilities are that he will take the pulpit of Ontario Street in the morning, giving as his address the facts of his conversion, and in the evening in Rattenbnry St., he will take for his text "Christ is all and in all." On the Monday evening fol- lowing, he will give a lecture in the Town Hall, entitled "Life on the Rail or people we meet." The mere an- nouncement that he is to be here will ensure him crowded houses on all occasions. As a matter of fact the Methodist people of Clinton are very fortunate in securing him. During the month of August he takes his holidays, but he has preaching en- gagements for every day and several services on some of them. Tbe Lawn party given Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr J. H. Combe, by the Church Woman's Guild of St Paul's church, was a suc- cess as regards both pleasure and fin- ance. The weather was all that could be desired, and as twilight deepened the large grounds were pre'tily lighted with Chinese lanterns. Many people watched the tennis games With in- terest, while during the whole even- ing the Band of the 33rd battalion delighted its listeners with its fine music. The game of tennis between Dr Shaw and H B. Combe versos A E Morrow and J P Doherty was closely conteeted; the game was drawn on account of darkness. The 12 cents for eggs.

HIGHEST MARKET PRICE FOR BUTTER OBERTSON' C SEAT CASH STORE • v MARE LOST.—Mr S Gliddon, of the London road, lost a good mare on Wednesday, in a rather unusual way. The mare was ono he had raised him- self, and was generally as quiet as couldIbe, but as he hitched her on the mower,she seemed nervous and frigh- tened, and in order to get her nerves queited he drove her a short distance on the road,'but she got worse instead of better, became excited and unman- ageable, and finally ran away, though be managed to bold her.
