PLUMS are plentiful this year. Considerable quantities are being ship, fed from Clinton by Cu ke and Cooke and Canteluu Bros. MR. J. KENDALL, of the G. T. It staff, Stratford, is in town fur a couple of weeks and will stay wit i► his son -in law Mr. H. L. B. IIartt, Sin. HENRY TYLER, the Grand Mogul of the Grand Trunk, and a number of other magnates of the road, occupying five private coaches, were on a tour of inspection up this way last week and passed on to -Ooderich. Mu. Jonsi'DYKE, Canadian Agent at Liverpool, says : "The most successful Canadian shipper of eggs is Mr. 1). I). Wilson, et present fetching 8 shillings per long bun- rlred" That is over 19 cents per d ozen. 1l1 R9.BoBERTSoN, Miss Mcllartly the Misses Combs, head, Miss Greig, and Messrs Combo, Drs. Shaw and Turnbull, J. P. Doherty, .Smith and McTaggart, were in Blyth last Thursday, attending a party tendered by Miss Curtis. WHEN our town coteur challenges the correctness of the statements of •our correspondents it should offer some proof. From what we know of both we shall certainly accept the statements of the latter to that of the former. HAD II iM THERE —In a discussion the other day Mr. P. R. Esumption thought to down his opponent by saying "Now, Matter O. Fact, you don't know half as pinch BB I do." "That's so," said M. O. Fact, "but as fur as that is concerned, neither do you." INSURED.—Mr. Robinson, Sr., employed in Fair's sawmill, and Wm. Dodds were precipitated a dis- tance of several feet by the decayed floor of a "lean to" they were stand- ing on giving way. There was an- other man with him but he "hung on by his eyebrows„ and didn't get the drop. Mr. Robison was severely injured about one shoulder and the neck and is under medical treat- ment which it is hoped will bring him round all right. Mr. Dodds. -was only slightly injured. PRESENTATION.—Monday evening members of the Clinton Gun Club, .and a considerable number of friends, met at Kennedy's hotel where President McMurray in a 'very graceful manner presented Doc Blackall with a silver cup, a trophy •which Doc won in a series of shoot- ing contests, class A, the last of which took place about three weeks ago. The winner had to prove' victor in three separate contests. Doc accepted the beautiful trophy in the same spirit it had been off- ered, and with a modesty highly be- coming meritorious achievement. MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN.—There -was a corner in bread Saturday af- ternoon. Constable Wheatley was furnished with information that two of our town bakers had been rather 'careless lately in seeing that they gave sixteen ounces to the pound of the staff of life. As a consequence -he swooped down and captured about 300 loaves alleged to be short weight. As the loaves were not weighed separately some of them may have been full weight. However the whole lot was confiscated to the town and the bakers fined $1.00 each and costs. 'Some of the bread was given to well known peer families and the balance offered for sale in the evening, when those who were "short" and -4, knew of the sale had a chance to re- plenish their gaunt larders for Sun- day. It was unfortunate that the seizure was made on Saturday as it deprived some families of their us- ual Sunday supply. 'It is not alleg- ed that intention al d ishonesty caused the short weight, and now that this exposure has been made the makers -will ,likely be more careful in the future. Additional iffoottio, WE,' were oat surprised at 'the New Era malting •au untruthful statement alleging that the NEws-R>~t• coRD "admitted a most abusive paragraph ounoeruing one of our townbmen into its columns last week." The New Era is notorious for misstatements. CURRENT TOPICS. —Last winter "the entire peach crop of the United States was kill eel" by the cold. Now they are fat- tening their bogs on peaches as the market is overstocked. —An English economist, Dr. Badenoch, sees what "free trade" does; it makes the British pay very nearly two and a half times as lunch in direct taxes as the American has to pay. —It is generally believed that' England is strictly a free trade coun- try, but this is utterly false as a waiter of fact. Euglaud has (in Great Britain and Ireland) 133 cos. toms districts, each of winch has a collector and subordinates. London lies nearly 1,600 customs officers ; Liverpool about 700—for the two ports nearly 2,300 customs officials. —And it must be admitted that there are almost unlimited possihil' ities of corruption at the command of Mr. Mowat's wicked patnera. It is not in the spending of three or four million dollars a year that these occur. It is in the granting of valuable franchises, in the control of the immense patronage connect.. ed with the liquor traffic, and in the disposal of public lands and timber of almost untold value. If all these things were looked into it might be found that there are Paceuds in On- tairio as well as Quebec—Toronto sea'..•. Governor Tillman of South Caro- lina seems to think that though the South was conquered it has not been subdued and he does not hesitate to express the opinion that their time will come yet. Speaking the other day of the desire of the South to he out of the union he said ;—But sup- pose we do not get what we want next year. What then ? Will the soldiers of Lee and Jackson give up the fight? Are their sons going tp give it up I No 1 for this is a struggle for free institutions, for home rule, for the Democracy of Jefferson. [Applause and 'cheers.] We dare not now do any more than pick our flints and getready to fight them again. [Applause.] CANADIAN NEWS NOTES. —On Thursday Hamilton received $1,100 in fines from liquor dealers who had violated the law. —Mr. Wm. Johnston, M. P., of Bally- kilbeg, Ireland, was banqueted by the Orangemen of Calgary. - The apple crop in Prince E award county is ahundant, and it is estimated that 250,000 barrels will be marketed this year. — The Rey. Rebert Bailie, Methodist Minister at Westport, who was drowned while bathing, was an Irishmsn. He was formerly a school teacher in Du'llin, and was about 32 years of ago. Ile came to Canada four years ago. —Mr. Rohidoux, Grit Attorney Gen- eral of the Quebec Government, one of those named by the Toronto Globe as suitiable for a goal, has taken an aotign against that paper for criminal libel. —Frederick Strasser, of Sparta, ten miles from St. Thomas, while hiving bees one day, was attacked and stung so viciously in the neck that he dropped dead. Mr. Strasser was 50 years of ago and was an old resident of the village. --An accident occurred on the farm of James Woodland. lot 4, concession 2, Mono, whereby a young man named Dav- ie Still lost his right arm a couple of inch- es below the elbow. Still was engaged feeding a threshing machine when the accident occurred. He ran his right hand too close to the cylinder, and in a flesh his arm was jerked off at the elbow. The limb was mangled terribly, and the great wonder is that Still was nbt drawn com- pletely in and instantly killed, — During discussion on the item for militia drill, Sir A. P. Caron concurred strongly in the opin'os that a sufficient sum should be granted to drill the entire force. In the past, he aairl, whenever the militia had been called upon, they haul always acquitted themselves iu a manner tenet creditable to Canada. If next year Parliament could possibly see its way to add $170,C00 to the present vote, it would enable the eutire force to ne drilled, and the advantage which would arise from this would he incalcula- ble to Canada. BRITISH AND FOREIGN. —At Indianapolis a heavy storm did much damage Wednesday. Four people killed. --It is feared in Northern Illinois that there will be but one-quarter of the corn crop this year on account of tho dry weather. —A hailstorm at Deer Creek, Otter Tail county, Minn, and vicinity, on Mon- day laid low 12,000 to 15 000 acres of grain. —In Indiana grasshoppers are on the increase, and playing havoc with every- thing green. Dan Kelly, of New Cory- don, threshed 124 bushels of oats, and in that quantity of grain there were 24 bushels of grasshoppers. The leaves are all being eaten off the peach trees, and even the fruit itself is being devJured. OUR WEEKLY ROUND UP. — The Kolman flood in Austria was very disastrous to life and property. Sixty bodies have been recovered, — Later details of the hurricane on the island of Martinique show that 340peo- ple were killed in the onart towns alone, the interior not having • been•heard from.
