THE INDUSTRIAL FAIR has been in full blast at Toronto last week. The city papers are loud in their praises of the Doherty Organ, which is made in Clinton, and they publish the voluntary expressed views of experts and others, all agreeing that in the many desiderata of musical excellency as well as of design and finish of cases the 'Doherty is the "boss". MR. D. B. CALIHICK, well known in Clinton, and an excellent man for the position, is in charge of the ex- hibit of the Goderich Organ Coin pany,at the Industrial Fair in Town - to. According to the Toronto papers the public that viewed the organs in his charge went away impressed with the siren -like persuasiveness of D. B.,as to the merits of the instru- ments in hie charge. THE APPLE CROP.—The Montreal Bulletin says : Mr. J. J. Vipond, of the firm of J. J. Vipond & Co., who has just returned from a trip through the principle apple sections of Ontario, states that iu the coun ties of Lambton, Middlesex, Kent, Elgin, Oxford, Wentworth, Prince Edward, Durham, and Northumber- land there will be two-thirds of an average crop of clean, large and fine fruit. Perth, Huron, Wellington and Waterloo about one-half of a good average crop, and Haldimand, Lincoln, Brant did Essex counties about one-fourth of an average crop, The balance of counties it is said will not be over one•quarter of an average one, The crop of early varieties was large, but the winter crop will not be bulky as at first re- ported. The recent storms in Eng- land it appears have dpno an im- mense amount of injury to the fruit crop. and after all Great 1)ritain .0a f repiro A great portion• of ot,: yle,u. BEATS BREACH or PROSIISE.—Mr. John W. Turner, a young grocer of Minneapolis is suing Miss Etta Terwilliger, a milliner of the same place, in the Court of Justice for $5,000 damages for flirting. In ex- planation of this strange suit Mr. Turner says: "This is not a breach of promise case, but a case for damages. I don't like flirting, and I am going to show people that this country is a very unhealthy one for that kind of business. I have been fair with the girl. I told her I de• tested flirting, and when I com- menced keeping company witt net. I told her tit ,t I (1'' " ..,u tt with the in. tent' of marrying her, and I had every reason to believe that she in- tended to marry me. Now she has gone to flirting with other people, and I intend to punish her for it." We do not know if Mr. Turner has the law on his Bide or not, but wee are afraid it would puzzle a Phila- delphia lawyer to tell what statute Miss Etta has broken. Young men, however, will watch with interest the outcome of the suit.—Ex. LAWYER SCOTT "attended the Assizes at Goderich last week. • DR.

DEPUTY REEVE KENNEDY wishes to thank the firemen and citizens for their efforts to save his livery building which was destroyed by fire last Wednesday morning and for successfully preventing the spread of the fire to his dwelling house on the same property. II'' Deputy Reeve Kennedy can get possession of the "burned die trict," the lease of which to Mr. Beatty dues not expire until Decem- ber, he will have a new building up before the snow flies. As it is the property is not realizing any thing to the lessee, and Mr. Ken- nedy would cancel the lease its front date of the fire if he can get posses• •ion. THE NORTH BRITISH AGRICULTUR IST of August 26 has this : "Last week Mr. Robt Gardiner, the ener- getic Secretary of the Strathearn Central Agricultural Society, sold a sweet yearling colt, Balbougie Stamp, got by Prince of the Glen, a grandson of Prince of Wales, out of Tibbie of Balbougie, 7124, to Mr. James McFarlane of Clinton, Out., and will be shipped on the 29th August. Balbouge Stamp won first honors in his class at Strathearn Central Society Show on Thursday, and he was first prize foal at Messrs. HIay and Kyd's sale last autumn." Mr. McFarlane went to Quebec for this colt and brought him safely home last Saturday. A TERROR.—M. C. Cameron is a perfect terror to members of the House by reason of his reckless statements and obstruction to busi- ness tactics. He also wishes to strike terror into the free and in- dependent who vote against him. In the matter of amendment to the Flection Act he had inserted in it that certain officers should swear they were nota fide voters. Sir John Thompson said the term bona fide would create confusion, as the officers would not know what it meant. "So much the better," said Mr. Cameron, "it would strike terror among them." That is it would intimidate honest voters. Tbo clause was amended to meet Mr. Cameron's views, CAMP CULLINGS.—The camp of District No. 1 is now a thing of the past.—Stakes were pulled on Satur- day . morning, and nearly all the red coats wore iu their homes at night.—No. 4 Company, Clinton, were highly complimented by the Deputy Adjutant General at the final inspection Friday night.—Ou several occasions the boys wore treated to pies and cakes by former Clinton members of the S.

WHAT IS A TOMATO.—An ex- change solves the question, Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? by saying, It is both a fruitand a veget- able. The common distinction be• tween a fruit and a vegetable is that the former may be eaten raw, the latter cooked. But a better distinc• tion , having fewer exceptions, is that a fruit is sweet when ripe, while the vegetable is not;perhaps a combination of the two distinctions makes the best definition. A fruit is sweet and niay be eaten raw ; a vegetable ie not sweet, and needs to be cooked, WINTER AND SPHINO.—A man named M. B. blessett,aged 72 years, was arrested in Clinton last week for abducting a girl 12 years of age named Katie Kennedy. The parties reside in Seaforth. Mesaett's wife died four months ago, and since that time he has taken special care his toilet and dress, and attended ui . ,ligious meeting available in every r. '"ak his perfidy,He town to c,, induced Katie, w:'o live door, to leave with hiol for London,next tell ing her that before tu�tr 1@tUru she would be his wife. He on sev,''al occasions showed her money, and told her he had the stuff to travel with. The girl's mother got wind of the affair, and the couple were arrested at Clinton, the girl having been attired in a traveling outfit by the aged Lothario. Policeman Lusby came to Clinton and took the couple back to Seaforth, where Messett appeared before J. Beattie, J. P., charged with abduction. no' -Jr!' kine a clear statement or their betrothal from beginning to end. Messett was committed to FInE.--Shortly before one o'clock last Wednesday morning our citi• zens were startled by the sound of the fire alarm. Unfortunately the alarm was not a false one. It was soon seen that the large and massive frame livery stable owned by Depu- ty Reeve 1). B. Kennedy was on fire. The building had been occupied by Mr. James Beatty who has built a brick livery on the opposite side of the street and had only the day pre- vious to the fire removed his horses to it. The fire appears to have made considerable headway before it was discovered, and notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts of the fire bri- gade it was soon seen the Kennedy stable could nut be saved. Efforts were then directed to a residence close by, owned by Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. Copp's premises adjoining. A stable belonging to Mr. Copp was also burned, but a valuable stallion was gotten out first. During the efforts of the brigade in this direc- tion it was discovered that Beatty's now brick stable on the opposite side of the street was on fire, so they had to divide their attention to pro- perty on the east as well as on the west side. The heat from the fire in in the Kennedy stable caused the glass in the windows of the Beatty stable to break and a large quantity of straw and some hay stored there in was soon on fire and spread through the upper part burning out the roof joists and other wood work and damaging the building general- ly. The loss is a serious one to Mr. Kennedy. His main building was a large substantial frame one which cost over $1000 to erect, and there wore additiQrta to it. He was insured for only $600, which sum willnotgo far to replacing premises as commodious as those 0-.vuod, Mr. Beatty's loss will be $800 or 900 in burned buggies and damage to 4 `tilding. He had no insurance, which is much to be re- gretted. Mr. Wilted lost a horse through suffocation. Dr. Turnbull lost two buggies and trappings which were in the burned building. The night was calm—very much so— else it is bard to say what further disaster w would, have to record. Though t$partes nanret'lave the sympathy of their fellow citizens in their losses, a feeling of relief is also Goderich gaol to stand his trial at also prevalent as the outcome the Spring Assizes. could easily have been much worse. a "Yes; It's A Big Stock."
