THE DAIRY.—The county of Hur- ein had 16 cheese factories and four creameries in existence in 1890, ac. -cording to the report of the Bureau of Industries. It is not likely that AIiere are any more this year. Prams:, — On Thursday last, no leas than 5=1 tons of plums were ship - ,sped direct from here, and 31 tons transhipped, makingin all 8i tons bandled.by express alone. This will give some idea of the enormous yield this year, the shipments being almost as large every day since the season ;opened: DIED ,err MICHIGAN.—Mr W. S. Lawrence, teacher, was called away to the neighborhood of Marlette, Mich.,last week, to attend the funeral flf.his brother-in-law, Noble Whitely, who had died from paralysis. De - 'ceased Was a son of the late William =Whitely, of the Huron Road, Tucker - width, and had followed well in his -sainted father's footsteps, being a -consistent member of the Methodist church. He leaves a wife and three -children. "IDENTIFIED —Chambers, the man Charged ,with shooting. Constable :Bulmer, at the Commercial Hotel, lrere,, was in Goderich ,jail on Satur- 'day. On Monday lie came up for examination, and was fully inden,i- died by Bulmer as the man who tried 'to murder him. His case came up at,the current assizes, but he was remanded until next term, bail not eing accepted. It is said that he Wei at one time a resident of Tucker - smith, near Kippers, where his father formerly owned a farm. , A FISCE OF GALL,—Some time ago a person purchased a certain article from a business man in town, but when billed for it, denied em- phatically that be had ever purchas- ed- or received such an article, and consequently the business than did no get paid for it. The other day the same individual, apparently for- getful of his denial, came into the d�ame store, and asked the proprietor /if he would take off his hand at a specified sum a certain article, as he had no further use for it. On the merchant consenting, he was thund- eretruck to see the man hand over the original article. FIRE.—Shortly after twelve o'clock Tuesday night, the premises known as the Big Livery, near the Grand Union Hotel, and occupied by Mr James Beattie, were discovered to be on fire, which made such rapid head- way, that only a few rigs could be run { out before the whole place was in flames. Mr Beattie had just the same evening removed his horses to the fine new building across the road, otherwise some of those would certain- ly have been lost. As it was, a horse owned by McMurray and Wiltse, and left in the old stable, was roasted to death, The upper part of the frame building was occupied by the cutters, and these, together with the harness, totes, phaeteons, &e., were all des- troyed. Dr. Turnbull lost a couple of buggies, a cutter, harness, &c. The heat was so intense that the straw in the new building across the road took fire, and it was aeveral.houra before it could be got under control in this building, and not before considerable damage had been done. Very fortune ately, there was no wind blowing, and the properties adjacent were mostly saved, although some of them Were damaged. Had the wind got up,there Was so much to feed a fire close by that no one can anticipate where the end Would be. Mr Beattie is a heavy loser, as he had not a cent of incur - since ; he had spoken to an agent about• putting some en as soon as he got settled in his new premises. Mr Kennedy had an insurance of $600 on his building, and desires to thank ell who helped to save the dwelling MrVitrttaa>dt ifi improving. fear 4datYN. waddir it will. come off here in a' 'Mr Jelin A Cooper, of Inglewood, le home on a holiday, visa l.Yellie Holmes, of.

We are pleased to state that the wife of Mr R Heywood, who has been in delicate health for some time, is much better. Mr W Campbell, postmaster, Goderich; who was a warm personal friend of the late E Corbett, attended his funeral on Tuesday. Mr G. F, Hiscox. of .London, son- in-law of Mrs Rattenbnry, who has been away for his health, has return- ed from his trip, somewhat improved. Mr Robt Welsh spent last week among old friends in Stanley, thus availing himself of the week's holi- days, granted him by the town coun- cil. Mr John Steep has left us a pear measuring 11r12 inches, and weigh- ing over 15 ounces. If any one else thinks they have one to beat this, we are willing to be the judge. It may not be a bad idea to take in the Toronto fair, as some of our townspeople are doing, just to be able to appreciate a good live exhibi- tion when our own comes off. The municipal collector will soon be presenting each of the ratepayers with a neatly prepared statement of this year's taxes and the time tor payment. No one will be slighted. We are sorry to hear of the serious illness of Mr Alfred Goodwin, and hope that his recovery may be an- nounced quickly; he has had his own share of trouble for a young man. A horse trainer named John Brooks, was before the -reeve the other day, at the instance of Mr 0 Milne, on a charge of using insulting language. A fine of $1 and costs was imposed. The evenings are getting consider- ably longer; the mosquitoes have died a natural death; Clinton's fair is yet to come; four months till Xmas, and the NEw ERA till New Years for a quarter. A little daughter of Mr L Melville, of Sparling street, Seaforth, formerly of Clinton, while returning from school at noon on Wednesday, fell and broke her arm between the elbow and the wrist. Mr Peter ger, who some time ago took a situation in one of the cities ot Michigan, has resumed his old place in the'Doherty Organ Factory, quite satisfied that he can save just as much money here as there. Mr R Horton, formerly with the Doherty Organ Company, is now proprietor of the La Grange Plumb- ing Co, La Grange, Ill, and is doing well. There is a rumor current that "Dick" will some day come beet and annex with a young lady of tovdn; he couldn't do better. Mr Geo Hoare has received an ad- dition to his Berkshires, the noted (Queen Bee) No 1766, producing a litter, aired by (Royal Tom) (1024) Canada Berkshire record. Both (Queen Bee) and (Royal Tom) took second prize at the Toronto Industrial Fair last year and their offsprings bid fair to equal them. ALLEGED ABDUCTION.—On Wed- -neaday afternoon Constable Lusby, of Seaforth, telegraphed the constable here to arrest a man by the name of M. L. Mersett, on a charge of abduct- ing from that town a girl 12 years of age. Mr Wheatley been away, the telegram was put in the hands of Mr Robt. Welsh, who also has power to act, and in a few minutes be had se- cured the person required. He was a well dressed man, wearing a silk hat, and claimed that he was going to take the girl back to Seaforth, although be had purchased two tickets for London. Lusby came up and took the man back to Seatortb, where he had an examination before Messrs Strong and Beattie, J. P's. who committed him for trial. WEDDING. --The Catholic church was filled to its utmost on Monday morning, the percentage of males be- ing extremely small, to witness the first marriage taking place therein, the contracting parties being Mr Jas. Flynn, of town, to Miss Annie Reyn- olds, eldest daughter of Mr James Reynolds, Hullett. Shortly after 10 the wedding party drove up to the church, and proceeded to the altar to the strains of a wedding march, the groom being accompained by hie bro- ther, while Miss Carbert acted as bridesmaid, two maids of honor fol- lowing. Father West performed the ceremony,after which Father McCabe, of Dublin, gave an address on the institution of marriage, from a script- ural standpoint. High( mass was afterwards celebrated,and the wedding party repaired to the bride's father, and participated in the festivities incident to the occaasion,a large num- ber of guests being present. That the bride and groom have the good wishes of a large circle of friends, goes without saying. v 1010011 Asti , the a tats. ggmtg w Lu anpply dor Wee ilte.0 .a,. Mr Thos. Giallo w*Y, Of Uxbridge, will address• the congregation of Wia church, next Sunday morning, on "A.: creature unknown to natural soteuee." The Presbyterians at Lon Ie bora, have as yet, we undcrstaxtd, .come to roto decision whatever, concerning a pastor to supply the .plata of Rev D M Ramsay. - The Globe, of .Monday, ways: ---A large and enthusiastic audience Pi -- ambled in the lecture room of the: West l.'reabyterian church, last even# ing, to walcotup back the Rev J A Turnbull'•;and hie wife from their summer holidays. The only child of Rev S W Shilton is, as everybody in tow#, knows, a particularly bright and sharp little bey, but unfortunately, is both deaf and dumb. Mrs Shilton left on Teeeday for Belleville, where she will place him in the Ontario In, stitnte for the training of such child- ren. Mr Shilton !could have gone also, but he sacrificed his !parental feelings to pastoral duty, and in a measure very reluctantly allowed Mrs Shiltonto proceed alone. The many friends of Rev J S Fisher, formerly of Holmesville, will be glad to hear of his progress on the Arthur Circuit, as indicated by the following letter:—When we came here two years ago things generally were in a bad state, a very shabby church, with a debt of over $600 on it. As you may judge the debt was old, it had become chronic. A site for a new church had been secured, but not a cent paid on it, not even the interest, this amounted to over $500. We have just succeeded in paying off the last cent of our indebtedness this summer. We are now taking steps for the erection of a new church next summer. Two congregational meet- ings have been held, at the last one $2340 was subscribed payable in three installments, the first to be paid this winter, the next on Thanksgiving day 1892, the third a year from that. The subscriptions now amount to about $4000. As we aim at putting up a church to cost about $5000, 1 think we are in a good and hopeful condition. Town Council. The regular meeting of the Coun- cil was held on Monday night. Mr T Cottle entered a written complaint against the caretaker of the cemetery tor refusing to allow the workmen to place their tools in the tool house; the mayor thought that if the men were working on contract the care- taker was within the scope of his duties, if on cemetery work for the town he was wrong; on motion the matter was referred to the Cemetery Committee. Mr Jos Wheatley was appointed truant officer in accordance with the statute, at a salary of $1 a month. The mayor commended the street committee on the excellent service done this year. Several new cross- ing were suggested, but it was re- solved to undertake no new work this. fall. The following accounts were order- ed to be paid:—T Cottle, men, &c, work on streets, $145.32, F Eyans, sundries, $7.30; J Hancock, twork, $2; R Coats & Son, charity, 75e; J Fair, lumber, $9.68; -Davis & Row- land, sundries, $3; R Holmes, print- ing &c, '$3.50. Recesp ot weigh scales $13,55; of magistrates fees, $8. • Exhibition Notes. The Globe in its Exhibition notes says:-- "Hello, Doherty, you back here again?" "Yes, sir, we are right in it to win as usual." "Why this is the same space you had the last few years?" "Yes, sir, and it's the best position in the main builing." "Well, how is the organ trade, anyway?" "Ab, never was better," was the re- joinder of Mr J. F, Sherlock, the pushing general agent for Eastern Canada for this well-known firm, "and," he continued, "our orders were so many that we were a little afraid that we might not be able to spare enough instruments to make our usual good display, but we have managed it, and will exhibit this year some of the finest organs made in the world, which for touch, tone, finish and workmanship cannot be excelled on the continent." As the genial representative was very busy the reporter promised to call again and give a more extended notice to the exhibit in another issue. Mr. J. Henry Worrell, of town, 'is exhibiting his patent Bed Pan and Douche Instrument at the Toronto Fair. DEATH OF AIR CORBETT.—Hardly anyone who knew of Mr Corbett's illness expected any other result but that he would get better. He was, apparently, such a lame, vigorous per- son, that an ailment necessarily fatal, was never for a moment -thought of, but when, on Friday last, people learned that there was no chance of recovery, they reluctantly bowed to the inevitable. His illness lasted only about nine days, the last two of which he was entirely unconscious. De- ceased was a Canadian, being born in the vicinity of Inglewood, prior to his residence here, ne lived in the county of Perth. He 1.. ;l been a res- ident of Clinton for an .4 0 ')er of years, and very few were !mop! K nown. He was al ways active in puh,i affairs,and bad [filled the office +.f oeputy-reeve for several years. His political lean- ings were with theConaervative party, he being for a considerable time pres- ident of the local organization,though not latterly. He was identified with the Methodist church for years, and held a position on the quarterly board of Rattenburyiet church at the time of his death. Being a prominent figure in town, he will be missed in the various circles in which he was accustomed to mingle so freely. He belonged to the Orange society, the members of which marched in con- nection with his funeral and took part in his burial service. It is un- derstood that he carried a consider- able amount of insurance on his life. The immediate cause of death was derangement cf the liver. A wife, son and two daughters survive hirga. The daughters are Mrs J Powell, of Detroit, and Mrs Chris Dickson. A memorial service will be held it Rat- tenbury St church, on Sunday even. ing next.
