In falling, Mr Young struck his back on the ladder, .hurting'` it severely. CLINTON IN AHEAD YET.—Seaforth papers boast because about 60 per cen.ti'.of the pupils sent up for the ,4 ntrance :Examination passed. The oderich'papers cap this by showing .tbat 71er cent of those from Gode- niielipaesed, But Clinton gets away ahead of both of them, as 86 per cent•of hose writing from Clinton school 'td. CLAIMS THEY DID NOT.—Mrs Shan- non proprietor of the Park House. • Goderich, sends a letter to the press .conctring a recent item in the NEW ER;¢ about her charge of $5 for the use of one room in her house, by a picnic parity. She overlooks .the fact that tihe party were invited into the house, =otherwise they claim they would not have; gone, and they deny that they swarmed "all over the house." >rEAL'DISMIssED,.—The appeal of the Bell Telephone company against their personal prophrty assessment, has been decided by Judge Toms against the company. He holds, also, that the plant and poles of the com- any are assessable. As the Judge's ecision is final, and his opinion affects all the a slantbelonging to the com- pany, it will make a material differ- .fenee in future assessments, nt A DISPLAY "OF" STRENGTH.—About ten years ago a young fellow gave an exhibition of his wonderful strength, tf on the Market Square here, by lifting, bky,vlth his teeth, a barrel of water, on 'Which were seated two men. On Thursday last the same fellow repeat- rrd his performance here, but held four men, instead of two, on the barn el. The total weight of the water and men was 1162 lbs., and it did not seem to cause him mtich trouble to lift it. NOT TO BE GIVEN.—The trustees of the Public School board placed their • estimates before the Finance Commit- tee of the Town Council, on Friday. These call for $200 more than has been raised in previous years, the improve- ment . contemplated requiring that amount. The Fiinance0ommittee, how- ever, decided not to recommend the additional sum, on the ground that the Board's appropriation has been larger than its actual needs. If the Board desires to raise the amount itself, it has power to do so. CLINTON COLLEGIATE.—A number of pupils from rural schools will short- ly be attending some High School or Collegiate Institute. We would like to direct their attention to the fact that Clinton Collegiate is admitted to be one of the best in Ontario. Under the management of Principal Houston, and an excellent staff of assistants, every branch of study is thoroughly and efficiently taught. There is no such thing as "slop -work" here. The appliances are also of the very latest, and every pupil who attends Clinton Collegiate may rest assured that they will receive the best training which money can provide. In addition to this, the facilities for pupils getting back and forth from their homes are better than can be offered by any other school. These points should not be lost sight of. NOTES.—Regular meeting of council next Monday night. It is said ae a re- sult of the Foresters from this section going to Kincardine to attend the grand lodge meeting, that the gather- ing next year will be held in Clinton. The rate of taxation next year will be 19 mills, according to the estimates prepared for submission to the council. A fine rain passed over this neighbor- hood Friday evening, which came just in time for the root crops. Mr H. E. Maddock, formerly of Clinton, has opened out in business at Brussels. The year 1893 began on a Sunday, and will finish on a Sunday, so that it will contain 53 Sundays. The evening train an the London, Huron and Bruce runs through to Kincardine on Satur- day evenings, as long as the "summer excursion rate" is in force; this avoids an unpleasant delay of two hours at Wingham. Under the presenpregula- tions the local examiners were not al- lowed to publieh the results of the Entrance Examinations until these had been confirmed by the Fducation Department; this being done, the names are published this week. The other day a son of Mrs Granthan fell out of a tree and broke both arms about the wriste. Tuesday lust was Emancipa- tion Day, and celebrated by the colored people. Messrs Cooper & Co. are put- ting up an awning an front of their store. Mr H. Stevens has been award- ed the contract for the erection of Mr David Canleton's new house. Mr Thos. Elmhurst, formerly of town, is now holding a good situation as book• keeper, in New York city. Mr Thos.

On Wednesday evening a couple of children, while, pplayingg in a stable to the rear of the Nrw ERA office, set fire to some rub- bish therein, and had it not been dis- covered just when it was, a serious fire would undoubtedly have been the re- sult, and there are several frame build- ings in the vicinity.

WILLIAM WILSON.—Mr Wm. Wil- son, who has lived almost at the head of Albert street, for a good many years, was regarded as the oldest man in town, being close on to 91 years of ago. An invalid and almost helpless, he has depended on the care of his wife and others for a considerable time. Mrs Wilson survives him. MRS PALTERMAN. — Reference was made last week to the illness of Mrs Paiterman, wife of Mr Thomas Palteriiaan, of Stapleton, and al- though it was known her illness was necessarily fatal, no thought was en- tertained that she would so soon pass away. She died on Monday, aged 55 years. She was an attendant of the Ontario St. Methodist church, and leaves two daughters, Mrs Colin Camp- bell, of Goderich, and Mrs Habkirk, of McKillop. The remains were interred in Goderich cemetery. MRS. KENNEDY.—After an exceed- ing painful, but short illness, Mrs Ken- nedy passed peacefully away, on Sun- day morning, at the age of U years. She was the relict of the late Archibald Kennedy, who, as one of the overseers of highways, under the late A. Bay, was one of the best known men in the county. Mrs Kennedy was born in Nova Scotia, but had resided here for a great number of •years. Being in a position to come directly in contact with the public, she was universally esteemed, being a woman of sterling character and qualities. She died strong in the principles of the Presby- terian Church, of which she had long been a member. The funeral. on Tues- day, was very largely attended. She leaves two sons—Lack and Donald, and a daughter, Mrs Blackall, all resididing here. DR. COLEMAN—Dr.T.T.Colemandied-- at died=at hie residence, "Hilisliide,” Sunday morning. Dr. Coleman was born in- Tralee, Ireland, 68 years ago. He came out to this country when quite a young man and practised medicine very suc- cessfully for a number of years in Sea - forth . nd the neighborhood, being the rst medical man to locate in Sea - for . When salt was first discovered in a County of Huron he was among the rst to embark in that business in Seaforth and has been largely engaged in it ever since. For many years the doctor occupied the distinguished position of Colonel of the 33rd Huron Battalion. He was the first reeve of the village of Seaforth after its incorporation and was elected Mayor of the town on several occa- sions. In politics Dr. Coleman was a Conservative and took an active in- terest in the welfare of that party. He was a most energetic and successful business man, and socially was one of the most hospitable of Irishmen. He was married to a daughter of the late Dr. Chalk, who, with three sons survive him. Some time ago, while returning from Toronto, he sus- tained a paralytic • stroke, which de- prived him of the power of speech. This was, to him, a particularly severe blow, for being well-inforined, and a close follower of current events, he enjoyed their discussion. He partially recovered from the effects of this stroke, but never regained the power of free speech. The funeral on Tues- day was very largely attended and although deceased had been so promi- nent in Masonic and Military circles, there was no special pparticipation of these bodies, the family desiring that there should be as little display as pos- sible, the service being conducted by Rev. M. Hodgene, pastor of the Epis- copal church. Church Notes. Rev. Mr Ross, of Clinton, conducted services in the Presbyterian church, Lucknow, last Sabbath. The regular sacramental services in connection with both Methodist churches will be held on Sunday next. Rev. A. H. Drumm, of Avonton. son of Mrs Williams, Clinton, with his wife and family, have gone on la holiday trip up the lakes. Rev. A. D. McDonald. of Seaforth, will leave this week on a visit to Mani- toba, and will veryprobably extend his trip to British olumbia, It is intended to have a fifteen min- utes' song service, by the choir of Ra- tenbury Street church, each Sunday evening, just before the time of regu- lar service. The Seaforth Sun says:—In the ab- sence of Rev. Mr Hodgins, rentor of St. Thomas' church, Mr F. Rolmested of- flciated on Sunday last at both ser- vices. In the morning he took for his text "Our Father which .-art in Heav- en," and in the evening "If we say that we have no- sin, we deceive our- selves," etc. Both sermons were clear and logical and fraught with instruc- tion,being composed of sound common sense scriptural education.
