is within the corporation of Clinton.

TIERS AND THERE:—Now is the
time which poets call "the gladdest
of the year " my boy (and it may be
in Florida, but sure it isn't here, my
boy); when little birdlots are sup
posed to wake and loudly sing, you
know, and wools and fields are
blithe and gay with all the signs of
spring you know; when puddles are
so very deep that though its very
shocking, 0, we can't help seeing
what's the style of Maud's and
Mary's stocking, 0; when politicaus
work their tricke by ways quite
dark and devious, and dudes find
that their new spring suits are al-
together previous; when skies pour
down in ceaseless showers, as if we
couldn't get enough, and funny fol-
lows slap your back and ask you if
ite wet enough.
GONE TO HER REWARD.—Many
of our Goderich readers will regret
to learn of the death of Miss Jane
Longworth in Victoria, V. I. She
taught school for very many years
in the county town and endeared
herself to the rising generation, at
the same time earning the complete
approbation of the School Board.
The following is from the Van-
couver 'World :—"It is with much
regret that many will learn of the
Budden death of Mise Jane Long-
worth, sister-in-law of Hon. Jno.
Robson, who died on Tuesday
morning at the Premier's residence,
Birdcage Walk, Victoria. She was
the daughter of the late Major
Longworth, who served with distinc-
tion at Waterloo, and aftowards
settled in Goderich, Ont. Miss
Longworth was a most amiable lady'.,
1nf tsride retzd`i`tYg', ar muc'h beloved
by a large circle of 'friends."

Wrij. Cooper & Co.
MR. W. JACKSON, is ou a trip to
St. Louis, where there is a meeting
of the railway ticket agents.
COUNTY CLERIC ADAMSON is yet
very low, but may recover. \1'e
agree with our Goderich correspon-
dent iu estimate of the gentleman
as an official and a citezon.
THE Box DRAIN put in the water
.course and the filling in of the un-
sightly excavation on the north side
of Huron St abreast of Pluuisteel
and Gibbins' store is good work
done by the city fathers -
THE DnAIN box under tho cross-
ing on Albert St from Ontario to
Huron gave way and Tuesday morn-
ing there was a yawning chasm of
dangerous dimensions. Mr. Plum
mer, of the Board of Works, had
the matter immediately attended to.
IIVMAN, who on the face !of the
returns defeated Hon. John Carling
in London, has had his seat protest-
ed. The petition against him
was tiled in Toronto last Monday.
It is quite probable that the seat of
M. C. Cameron will be protested,
and that of Sir John A. Macdonald
has been.
MR,\VM.[IoRNEY,now of Seaforth,
called 011 THE NEWS -RECORD Mon-
day. Through ill -health he has
been compelled to give up his carri-
age and wagon business at Winth-
rop, which he now offers for sale or
rent at a bargain, \Ve aro pleased
to learn that the gentleman is im-
proving.
CLINTON I3oYcurTED.—A businesa
gentletnan,who was in the places re-
ferred to yesterday informs, us that
D. I). Wilson's firm is paying 31
cents for eggs in Kinhurn and Var-
na, 12 cents in Seaforth and only
10 in Clinton. We can give no
reason for the discrimination, but
it should not exist and Clinton tra-
ders should not allow themselves to
bo boycotted in this way.
A PRACTICAL, LESSON.—Willam
E. Story, of Buffalo, has been re-
warded for his virtue. Some years
ago his uncle offered to give him
$5,000 when of age if he would not
smoke, chew, drink, nor gamble,
until that time. He kept his
pledge. but the uncle died before
the time came for payment of the
money. The executors refused to
pay and Story took hie claim into
court. He has won after several
years' litigation, and his inheritance
has doubled 80 that he now receives
nearly$10,000 principal and interest.
But he has saved much more to hie
- QEv_n . ,ncoma—hy, >tto.L anending,
money for tobacco and liquors. It
pays to not smoke.or drink.
T. O, F.—The concert under the
auspices of the I. 0. F. on May lat
promises to be a rare treat, and some-
thing which all tnusic loving poople
will enjoy. Mrs. Caldwell of Tor-
onto, who is without a rival, will
sing ou the date mentioned, and
will he worth coming miles to hear.
Mr. '1'. H. Crawford and Jas. Bel-
cher, of Loudon, will also take part.
Dr. Orouhyatekha, S. C. R., of Tor-
onto, will deliver a short address on

formers will be Miss Cargill, of
Wingham, the Clinton Quartette
Club, etc. Plan of' hall now ready
