TEACHERS ENGAGED.—The trustees
Of the Collegiate Institute have engag-
ed Miss O'Connor, of Oshawas, as a
successor, to Miss Hume, at a salary of
$500 a year. This is the same salary as
paid before.
THE BRTITpE1rIELD BURGLARS SENT-
ENCED.—At Goderich, on Saturday,
the Brucefieid burglars were sentenced.
Chas. Prince, alias Grattan, the eldest
burglar, was sentenced to seven years
in the Kingston penitentiary, while
the junior burglar, Joseph Green, was
sentenced to the Central Prison for a
term of one year and eleven months.
PRETTY PETS.—Master James For-
tune has a coupleof pretty little pets
he is raising, which have the merit of
being of some value, even if they are a
little dangerous to handle. They are
a couple of young mink (the ones that.
a cat belonging to Mr Levi Trick took
under her care) and seem to enjoy their
captivity all right. One of them will
allow him to handle it, without biting,
but the other will not.
ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, Mr Ed.
Turner was helping his son with the
harvest, -and was engaged in driving a
binder. Suddenly one of the wheels
went into an unnoticed hole, and the
jolt threw Mr Turner off the seat. In
falling he struck his side on some por-
tion of the machinery, hurting himself
so badly that he thinks he has fractur-
ed his ribs.
FARM CHANGE.—Mr Arthur Conch
has bought from Mr, W. Bawden the
75 acres on the London road, south of
the railway track, being part of the
Ransford property bought by him last
week. The consideration is in the
neighborhood of 83500. This will now
give Mr Couch a rear entrance to his
farm on the Huron road. He pur-
poses, also, selling of a portion of it in
five and ten acre plots.
NARROW ESCAPE.—On Friday after-
noon Miss Mona Freer, stenographer
for the Salt Association, had a narrow
escape from drowning. She was one
of a party picnicing at Bayfield, and
had gone in bathing, when she ,was
tarried beyond `her de th.'Sse sank a
', couple of times and, felt that she was
almost lost, when, providentially, a
wave struck her and lifted her over
into shallow water, and she was rescu-
ed. She was completely exhausted
when she reached the shore, It was a
very narrow escape, indeed.
ACCEPTABLE RAIN.—The rain that
fell onWednesdayafternoon wasoneof
the most acceptable showers, for it
settled the dust, helped the grass, and
was of immense advantage for roots.
Everything had been very dry for a
long time before, and was being liter-
ally burned up. In point of fact, since
the 28th of June, a period of 48 days, it
was the first and only rain worthy of
the name, with this exception, that on
the 14th of July, and 5th and llth of
Aug., thunder showers of short dura-
tion were experienced. The storm of
Friday afternoon last was accompanied
by a pretty strong cyclonic wind,
which blew around grain considerably,
but which did no further harm that
we have heard of. In the neighbor-
hood of London it developed into a
heavy hail storm.
APPOINTMENT.—The Empire says:—
"Miss K. F. Hagerty; formerly of the
Provincial Model School, Toronto, has
�.. been appointed, out of 40 applicants,
modern language specjalist in the
Winnipeg Collegiate Institute, at a
salary of $1,000 per annum. Miss Ha-
garty is well known to teachers
throughout Ontario as a most efficient
member of the staff of the Toronto
Normal School. She has devoted con-
siderable time to the study of French
and German in Europe.' ["Kate"
Hagerty has many old friends in Clin-
ton who will be pleased to learn of her
c success. She was for several years a
teacher in the old Clinton High School.
If reports be true, the lose of her posi-
• tion in the Model School, Toronto, was
• not due to any fault of hers.]
RUNAWAYS.—On Sunday last while
Dr. Turnbull's horse stood in front of
his office, the flies bothered it so bad-
ly that it pulled its bridle off and ran
the
away;
for Daviit took a & straight line
square Rowland's
store, and but for a post, would likely
have gone through the window, the
post caught the buggy, breaking the
cross -bar and allowing the horse to go
free; it went on down to the stable.
but did no more harm than the break-
ing of the harness.
Sunday 'morning a young fellow ern-
• ployed with Mr Homer Andrews went
out for a drive, accompanied by a
couple of young people, and while
coming along the 16th con., of Gode-
rich township, the horse got frightened
and ran away. It got into the ditch,
upsetting the buggy, and managed to
free itself therefrom, going home with
the shafts attached. The top of the
buggy Was badly broken and the driv-
er had his face slightly cut.

puty Reeve eacom, of Goderieh
tbwnshipp, was driving his stallion,

GUERILLA W'.A.RFARE. ,— Does the
News -Record endprsg all the colnmuhi-
eat-ione that appear mite own columns,
because if it does, we feel parry forit,
and if it does not It should at least be
honorable enough to assume that other
papers are in the same position. In
point of fact the editor of the News -
Record knows that no editor is respon-
sible for the con►munieations appear-
ing in his columns, nor does he "direct-
ly or indirectly" endorse them, and his
",love of •British fair lay" that be
boasts of so often should lead him to
take °a little higher, ground towards
others. We know of an .editor who
crawled out of a pretty sn all hole re-
cently, "concerning a communication
that appeared in his ieoly,mns, and.
hasty judgrnent concerning others is
at least ill-advised.
CONCERT. — The number attending
the entertainment given by Misses
Sibley and Combe was not nearly so
large as the program merited, for it
was first-class in every respect, and
the trouble which the ladies had gone
to in getting it up was deserving of
larger patronage than they received.
Miss Sibley was choice in the selection
of her readings, rendering them in a
manner pleasing to the audience and
giving proper effect to the piece. Miss
Combe rs an excellent: pianist and gives
fine expression to her music, a part
very needful to make it agreeable to
the ear. The audience received an un-
expected treat in the singing of Miss
Ida Walker, a graduate or Toronto
Conservatory of Music; she rendered
two songs beautifully, being encored
each time, to which she agreeably re-
sponded. The stage was tastefully
decorated with portieres, pictures, etc.,
and everything to make it look bright
and cheerful.
CHARLES REEVE DROWNED. — The
following from the West Superior
Telegram, of the 7th, will be read with
regret here, the young man being a
native and longa resident of Clinton:—
Charles (4Reeve the 17-year-cld son of
Dr. and Mrs Reeve, of 1613 Twenty-
first street, was drowned. at 10 o'clock,
yesterday in the bay off Minnesota
point. The accident occurred opposite
the end of Connor's point, and near
Sunty Nook Camp. A party of boys
consisting of Charlies Reeve, Ed. Long -
with, and Herbert and Leonard Bow-
erman were camping on Minnesota
point. They took two boats—a sail
boat and a flat boat—and went out in-
to the bay to take a swim. Young
Reeve, who was a good swimmer,
jumped from the boat where the water
was from four to six feet deep and
swam about four •beat lengths, when
he suddenly went down. Reeve did not
come up again. Longwith, the next
hest swimmer of the four, saw Reeve
disappear and jumped from the sail
boat to assist him, but was unable to
do so. Dr. Reeve had been notified
and was at the place of the drowning
before the body was recovered. The
unfortunate young man has several
sisters, who with their parents are pros.
tre ea- with grief. The water where
young Reeve met his death is not over
five feet deep but the theory is that he
took cramps while in a hole which was
a trifle deeper. Mr Reeve was a sales-
man in the furnishing business of the
Columbia Clothing Company. He has
been with the Columbia store for three
years, starting in at first as errand boy.
He was a very exemplary young man
and had many warm friends.
FIRE.—At about a quarter to eleven
on Thursday evening last, the building
of the Clinton Organ Co., on Mary St.,
was discovered to be on fire, in the
third story, and seemingly in the vi-
cinity of the finishing room. The
building was a large three-story, frame,
and although the engine and fire com-
pany were quickly on -hand, they were
powerless to do anything towards sav-
ing the factory, which burned like so
much kindling wood. The heat from
it was intense, and it was only by the
most strenuous efforts that the build-
ings on Mary St. and elsewhere were
saved from destruction. The house
occupied by Mr James Ford had the
closest call, being directly across the
street from the factory, but beyond
being badly blistered no injury was
done. The night was moderately calm,
otherwise nothing could have saved a
large portion of the town from being
burned. As it was, the flying sparks
set a number of buildings on fire, some
at a considerable distance away, but
fortunately they were all saved with-
out any difficulty. Large sparks were
carried as far north as the residence of
Mr Manning, on Albert street. In the
factory very little\vas saved. All the
workmen lost their tools, excepting
Mr Werry, who had his at home, and
Mr Spaulding; who secured his while
the building was burning. All the
machinery and stock were entirely
lost. Adjoining the Organ Factory
was the Electric Light Company in a
brick building. When the fire broke
out, Mr Brown, electrician, was in
charge of the lights, and he had
presence of mind enough to close up
the windows, ease off, the safety -valve
of the engine, and see that everything
about the place was per fectly secure
before he left it. The fire got into
this place, however, but by hard work
the building and machinery were sav-
ed. Doan's tannery, immediately
south west. had a close call, but was
not injured in the slightest. The Loss
is a serious one to Mr Graham, as it
will amount to about $6000 over the
insurance of $4500, and to the town
also, as it is hardly likely to be rebuilt.
It had just been determined • to push
the factory to its full capacity. Mr
Shannon, of the Electric light, had al-
so an interest in the Organ Factory
building. 'The fire impaired the use-
fulness of the Electric light for the
time being, and in order to get the
wires fixed, up and the machinery in
running order so that business men
might have the•light on Saturday, the
town authorities very properly gave
the.Light_Co. -the services of four men
to help get things in running order,
ran along tilroad until it was stop- vi
but he had con' d^rahie d°f-Icnity and co
he ran considerable risk in so doing, ars
as the horse was inclined to be ugly, sa
Not wi10J harm MIS done.

ng of credit for succeeding, as they ,

ea companies have already made a,

commendable promptness.

AN�,Es
We received this week from the manufacturers in Germany
a large consignment of the latest styles in Fall and
Winter Capes and Mantles.
This season in buying we got as near the manufacturer as
possible, in order to save as much as we could of the
middleman's profit. We bought at the closest spot
cash prices.
The styles we will show are choice, the newest and most fa-
shionable Cloths, Trimmings and.Designs, the pick of
several manufacturers samples, while the assortment
is the largest we have ever shown.
Although it is early for Falls Mantles we will be pleased to
show you our stock any time it may be convenient for
you to look over it. If there should be .one you would
like to secure and do not care to take it just at pres-
ent, we will, as we have already done in similar cases,
lay it aside and you may take it when convenient.
By picking one out now you would have your choice of the
largest and best assortment of fine Mantles ever
brought to Clinton.
