Mr. McCarthy attended the school from which the character of "Squeers," is drawn in Dickens' "Nicholas Nickleby." The original of the character was Thomas Shaw, of Bowes Academy, near Greeta Bridge, Yorkshire, and Mr. McCarthy is the boy who had his clothes stolen by "Squeers." He remembers well the comments of his schoolmates on seeing "Squeers"' son parading in his clothes, which were much too small for him, and also recollects a severe whipping he received for stealing a crust of bread and a little bacon from the school larder CANTELON'13Ros. made their first shipment of harvest apples on Fri- day, and a choice variety of early plums on Monday.

WILL SMITH, of Goderich, stopped over in Clinton with friends, Thursday night and Friday, on -his return from Detroit whither he had been with the war canoe and the Goderich naval reserve under Commodore Wilkinson, to show the Grand Army Encampment in the City of the Straits what sort of material her Majesty's "navee" is composed of, and in case of strained relations between the industrious beaver of the north and the soaring eagle of the south, that Kanucke are as amphibious as the beaver and can show up on land or water as occasioh may require. Will prefers land sailing, however, to paddling the war canoe, unprotected from the rays of the sun heated to a tempera- ture of120 degrees, and beating down upon his head, and his arms the motive power to impel the levia- than of the deep on its cruise. These warlike demonstrations in time of peace, under the conditions named, will in future be omitted from Will's curriculum in prepar- ing to defend the flag that for a thousand years has braved the battle and the breeze.

HEAVEN'S ARTILLERY RAMPANT. —About the middle of the afternoon on Sabbath last a wild west wind whooped down upon the peaceable inhabit- ants in this section. Its rumbling could be heard for quite a distance. It snapped off trees eight to ten inchea jn diameter with the ease .slat „•et'r A,, Sullivan could break Saiumau-, fluqi 15.

It came up the gully at/the Maitland river, where a number of Clintou people were camped, with the conquering determination of Gen. Sharman on his march to the sea. And it took all before it. Trees, tents, etc., were levelled to the earth, the sky meanwhile overcast with the inky darkness of a funeral pall; rain, live thunder and chain lightning accompanying trumpet -tongued na- ture in making herself felt and heard. At the Maitland camp were Mesdames Hodgens, Davis, Cunn- ingham, Beesley, Doherty and other lady friends, with some gentlemen and youths. A tree was blown across a tent in which was Mrs. Bees- ley who bout that time moved from a lounge to fasten down the tent on the opposite side. The tree was hiown diagonally across the tent where she had been but a minute previously, smashing the lounge on which she had been reclining, and across a tent which was usually oc- cupied by Mr. S. Davis at night. Had the storm occurred at night it would have been all day with him. A limb about the size of an ordinary stovepipe fell across the feet of Mrs. Geo. Doherty doing them consider- able injury. Portions of the debris of the falling timber struck Mrs. Bris- bane on the head causing the blood to flow freely, but we learn no ser- ious result will follow the injuries sustained by the ladies. The camp- ers were meanwhile drenched by the _torreuta of,rAiu a conf91,i. Ale.1 ;, ed supreme for a time. Convey- ances, however, were sent for to town and the victims of the minis- iture deluge and of the storm were taken to town. 0 --- The people who availed themselves of the opportunity to purchase some Cheap Clothing on the 24th of January last we may expect to see back again next Saturday, when we announce our Second Bargain Day, and those who failed to take advantage of buying Goods at ONE HALF the regular price, will have a chance to do so now.
