spects are that this will be one ofthe
' very best. The prize lists will be ready

Secretary Mr Will Coats, will give
any information that is desired.
RESMistED. — Mr Morrow, of the
Collegiate Institute, has tendered his
resignation, he having been offered a
position in Winnipeg at $1200 a year.
The board would have preferred to hold
him to his agreement, as they did not
wish to lose his services, but finally
consented to his resignation.
A HEAVY OROP.—It is generally
. supposed that two pounds of fax twine
is sufficient to bind the crop off an
aqre of land, and it is a heavy crop that
requires more, but Mr Plumsteel had a
crop of wheat on his farm in Tucker -
smith that was so heavy as to require
double this amount, using 51 winds
for 13 acres.
AccanENT.—On Sunday, evening as
`Mr Norman Fair was driving some
friends bome from Goderich, the hor-
ses were frightened by a dog barking
at them, and ran away; the rig was up-
set and he held on to the lines as long
as h Could, but the horses got away;
• the Were fortunate in having no worse
inj ry than a broken carriage and har-
. nese.

the product of orchards entire, with-
out any Culling whatever and simply

'plentiful.

Mr Plummer stated that the Street
Committee had expended nearly $1,600
out of their appropriation of $1,700, but
.1 had on hand a quantity of good lum-
ber. The resolution of the County
Council toncerning a House of Refuge,
was read, and it was decided to act on
the suggestion and take a vote at the
neEtanunicipal election, Mr Hale ap-
• mitred before the council in reference
to
it cOuple Of drains that emptied on
some land of which he had charge, and
asked that the Street committee be in-
structed to meet himself and Mr Row-
ell and see what remedy could be pro -
'tided; Mr Plummer stated. that :the
Street, committe had examined into the
Matter last year and this also, and
came to the conclusion to do nothing;
it was finally decided to meet Mr Hale
arequested. A by-law was passed
prohibiting the "running of bicycles or
other vehicles" on the sidewalk. The
estimales for next year, slightly higher
than last, call for a rate of 19 mills on
the $, being half it mill more than last
year; this is due to the assessment be-
ing a little lower and there being seve-
ral fituds to provide for that did not
before exist. Considerable discussion
teek place tencerning the sale of de-
efituree, where it was moved and car-
thaktlie offer of Mr Langmuir, of

NOTES.—The county rate required
from the town this year is $894.02,,
somewhat more than last year. The
crossing on the north side of Batten -
bury street, over Orange, is in a very
bad condition, and unless repaired
may be the cause of an accident. Mr
W. H. Perrin has left on a visit to
Buffalo and other American points; he
says that as soon as the McKinley
tariff is amended by taking the duty
off barley, he will buy this article for
the American market. Flax pulling is
the order of the day. Mr Thos South-
combe, who went to Manitoba in the
spring, has returned and will for the
•present workonbrot1w'Tifiin
Hullett. Mr Edward Moore, of Albert
street, is confined to the house by ill-
ness, and is evidently failing. Apple
buyers are now out making contracts.
The buggy business seems to be boom-
ing this year, judging by the purchas-
es farmers are making; last week the
following persons purchased covered,
ones from Mr Fred Rein ball:—A. Mc-
Muchie, Clinton; P. McDougall, Gode-
rich township: J.VanEgniond, Hullett;
and Will Nesbitt, Goderich township.
Mr Kent, of the firm of Gowans Kent
& Co., Toronto, who died a few day's
since, was an old Clintonian, having
resided here from about 1868 to 1872.
Mr Henry Stevens is making material
improvements to the residence of Mrs
King; Vittoria; Street. Mr A. Wood.
man, of Londesboro, was in town on
Monday, on a noble errand, arising from
a sad circumstance, being the payment
of the $1000 death claim, from the C.
0. F., to the widow of the late George
Grantham. Mr Wm. frying left on
Tuesday for Chicago. Mr T. C. Bruce
left this week on a trip to Mackinaw,
being ticketed by Jackson's Agency.
Many people express the hope that the
inpromptu band organized under the
leadership of Mr A. Holloway might
become a pernaament institution, and
would be glad to render financial help
for that purpose; their music is first-
class. Mr F. S. Booth has returned to
town and resumed work in the Doherty
Factory; he liked the west splendidly,
but there were substantial reasons for
him not remaining at the present time.
T. C. Bruce has in his garden a stock
of corn9 ft. 2 in. high; who's next.—
Mr Lough, of Clinton Model School,
sent up 20 pupils to the Entrance Ex-
amination, of which 17 passed; this is a
pretty high percentage. To -day is
Clinton Civic holiday, and is generally
observed by the closing of all places of
business. Mr Whitehead is still unable
to leave the house, though able to be
up. Mr R. H. Chown is recovering as
well as could be expected. A number
of local cyclists go to Seaforth to -day
to take part in the tournament ; there
would be more, but several are away
OD holiday trips. The home of Mr T.
Johnston, (brother 4n -law of the groom)
was the scene of a quiet wedding Mon-
day morning, when two popular young
people of Goderich township—Mr W.
H. Cole and Miss M. Jervis—were unit-
ed in matrimony's bonds; Rev. Mr
Srnyth officiated; it life of blissful pros-
perity is the wish of all their friends.
Invitations are out for the marriage of
our popular and esteemed young friend,
011ornelius Hoare: the important event
takes place on the 7th of September,
and the young lady is Miss A. E.Snell,
near Exeter; we are sure that his many
friends here join us most heartily in
wishing him unbounded felicity. Mr
Joseph "Whitehead has made quite an
addition to his house, the wood -work
being done by Mr T. 'McKenzie. Mr
S. McPhail. of Porters Hill, made his
first shipment of apples from here this
week to J. R. Shuttleworth, of London.
The fence surrounding the Ontario St.
church has been removed and the
grounds are being fixed up; if cows
were net allowed to run at large, many
fences Wbuld be removed, and the town
beautified. The empty house on the
Enron road, Goderich township, known
as the "Dr, Cole house" and owned by

A PLHASANT OUTING.—On Wednes-
day a flutter of pleasurable excitement
hovered over the Rattenbury House,
and on making inquiry as to the cause
we found that it was the female em-
ployees of that well and favourably
known establishment out for a picnic
excursion to picturesque Hayfield, each
lassie being accompanied by her gallant
laddie; they started off looking too
perfectly happy for anything; theyput
up at a first class Hotel and all together
they had a most enjoyable time one
they will long remember.
