MR. FOREST, of the staff of the Stratford Collegiate Institute, and wife were in town last week, and made a friendly stay with Mr. Somerville. The lady and gentle- man continued their journey to Walton to visit other friends. AN ADMIRER of Richard Cart- wright's calamitous picture of the farmers being congratulated on the excellent crops this year and that farmers would have nothing to com- plain of now replied : "I don't know about that, these big crops are powerful exhausting to the land." FOR THE TENTED FIELD.—Next Tuesday the Clinton Company of volunteers leave for the tented field at St. Thomas. No. 4 Company will go under very favorable circum- etances this year. Wm. Thornton, who has seen service, we believe, in thirteen camps, will look after the wants of the inner man. The Com- pany will be in the hands of three commissioned officers, two of whom are school men. The new clothing for the "boys in red" has been shipped and will be here this week. Everything is lovely and a fine, or. derlycompany is assured. A. few in- telligent young elan will yet be accepted. Get reedy for the tented field at St. Thomas_ THE LAWN PARTY 0D the Rectory grounds Friday evening, gotten up by the Chutchwutnan's Guild (.f Paul's church, was a •moderate sun cess, The evening was cool, and previous rains one would imagine 'would have somewhat militated against the disposal of ice cream, but hot tea and coffee and other re- freshments made up for any falling off in that respect, if there were any, while the musical programme delighted the more aesthetically in- clined, and the electric lighted scene threw a glamor of brightness and cheeriness over all. The gross pro- ceeds were $34, which will leave a fair margin for the laudable pur- poses of the Guild. ' LACROSSE,—The 'across match last week which took place in Clinton between the Dauntless club of this town and the Hurons of Goderich was a very exciting affair. As the ,fairer portion of humanity are great admirers of manly athletic sports there was a liberal sprinkling of the youth and beauty of Goderich, Clin- ton, Seaforth and Blyth present. Probably 150 visitors were present from Goderich and a good attend- ance from the other -places named. The contest resulted in four goals to Clinton and none to Goderich. There was excellent playing ou both aides. Connoiseura say that the Goderich boys played a remarkably good game, which adds all the more lustre to the laurels won by Clinton. The usual charges of favoritism by the referee, R. McCosh, Seaforth, • %a foul prey pre made h the Hurons to accottnt in part for their defeat. There was certainly rough play on both sides, but we don't think there was any wilful slugging by either. It is asserted that the Dauntless club was partly composed cf members who are debarred by by the rules of the Association and a protest has been entered by the Hurons against awarding the game to the Dauntless. As honor as well tie muscle is intended to be cultivat• ud by those contests we hope and and believe there will be no ground for supporting the charges. The Clinton athletic sports have hitherto worn the white flower of honorable emulation iu thir various contests and we believe they will come out of the protest business with it un - smirched. There was quite a lively time about town in the evening by the friends of both clubs discuss. Ing rife inori`te'aaa dertieriCS' 61 TB players and the result of the contest, but while many were very much ex- cited good natured banter prevailed on the whole. lMt ft. &XIX V.

SUNDAY morning last the large frame building in Seaforth used as a town hall and market building, with contents, was destroyed by fire. Loss $4,500; insura*.-ce $2.300. The loss will not likely be a matter of acute grief to the Seaforthites, but as incendiarism is strongly suspected to have been at the bot- tom of it, the citizens regret that aspect of it Some of the fire ap• paratua was burned and parties came up to Clinton and borrowed some fire hose. OBIT.—There died in Clinton on Wednesday, August 19, Mrs. Arthur Knox, aged 68 years. 'The funeral took place to Clinton ceme- tery on Friday 21st, a large follow- ing bearing testimony to the many estimable qualities of deceased and indicating their sympathy for the bereaved husband. Mr. Knox has had considerable family afflic• tion the last few years., It is only about '--•^ month neo rust his daughter died. and the death of his wife following so soon makes the last affliction all the severer. MORE LIGHT. —New York prides itself upon the possession of a mon- ument with a statute of Liberty en lighten i'g the world on top. Jack son Bros., of Clinton hav'n't raised the standard quite so high. But they hive just completed putting an immense front of plate glass into their stores, which will light the in. terior• of their spacious shops so that purchasers can select suite sof cloth- ing and gents' furnishings under the most favorsbte conditions, Much credit is due this firm for their enterprize. It was effected at a cost of $500 and would hav&been considered unnecessary in any other town than Clinton, so well up with the times was the removed front that' wire- conaidered••too oid$ashion-. ed by this firm. Mr. W. Cooper managed the alterations with the least possible inconvenience to the public or the business of the firm. SCHOOLS 0PE3 On the 31st of August.

Then back to hie stall goes the noble animal all unconscious of the fact that he has won a prize, while his proud owner treads the earth with elastic step. AoAiN OUT or TUE HOSPITAL AND IN GOOD SPIRITS.—tt 1011 be remembered by many in this sec- tion that Mr, John Cook, of Silver- wa.:dr, Manitoulin, paid a visit to friends here last winter. At that time he had just returned from the Toronto Hospital, where he had a cancerous growth removed from hie lower lip. Mr. Cook, we are sorry to learn, had to pay a second visit to Toronto and undergo another operation. Under date of August 18 he says :—"1 have arrived home safe once more. I desire sincerely to thank Dr. Strange for his skilful treatment in cutting out cancerous Iumps under my left jaw and ear, slang the jugular vei.:. These growths were enlargements of the articular glands, produced from cold, The hospital staff showed rho ovary kindness, from the Super- intendent to the cook, and I cannot refrain from asking the blessing of God upon Dr, Strange, Dr, O'Rielly, Dr. Barnhardt, Miss Gordon, and the nurses, and all connected with the Hospital, I could nut be better.,used..or„loneiv.e,.ls.in ,cr•_stre• tr_ fp either thee honor or the emolutnent ment from my mother.Mr. o e poartroii, curly eofiMiHa file Cook's many friends in this section influence of his friends In hod out would be pleased to learn of his ' of the Council in his ambition to ultimate recover3 • j became the servant of the people.

AS YET.—Advices received last Monday from several points in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Manitoba, show that the tem- perature has veered close to the frost line, but that no serious damage has yet been done. In Man itoba a few touches of frost were experienced, but without serious results to crops. MR. WHITELY, 0f thin paper, seeks the position of County Clerk. Some of his friends in the Council and the people behind them seem to think ho is not anxious to get it because he does not personally canvass, or boom himself in hie paper.
