OPENED.—Oil Monday the Collegi-
ate Institute was opened with a splen•
did attendance. The professors are all
back after two mouths well earned
holidays and the students are startiug
work with a vita that speaks well for
next year's results.
A SUGGESTION.—What$wvill our pee -
pie say to the following from the

Wingham could induce the Clinton
Organ Co. to re -erect their works here?
We need an organ factory and agri-
cultural implement works, and all

pany, hes accepted the captaincy of.
Exeter company and will be gazetted

tain Rance and the Exeter red coats
will find in him all the qualities of a suc-
cessful commanding officer.
A "Soo" VISiTOIL—Last Monday
THE NEWS REOORD was very much
pleased to have a • friendly call from
Judge Johnston, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ont., formerly of Goderich. We have
known the Judge for many years. He
is the same fraternal and sensible char
atter—aud one of the many painstak•
ing and worthy Queeu's chosen judici•
ary. The Judge was ou his way to
Goderich, his native home, on business.
He speaks• in the highest possible terms
of "new Ontario" aud her great future
posaibilities.
DASTARDLY WORK.—Some indivi-
duate who delight to deal in and handle
filth were engaged at their chosen oc-
cupation last Saturday night. The
public doors and steps of respectable
business men were covered with filth by
character -wreckers and reckless hood-
lums. Respectable or orderly people
would not commit such dastardly acts
aganiat the morale or common decency
of any commuuity. A "Lover of Law
and Order," who apparently approves
of such obscene and lawless work,
should write a column or two to our
cotetu. He will surely publish facts
as readily as falsehoods. A few odd
individuals do not seem to Dotice crime
with their eyes wide open. And our
"very good" cotem refuses to give the
blind light.

DIE LATE EDWARD MOORE.—One by
ono respected citizens are called to the
great beyond . Last Wednesday, abut
midnight, Mr, Edward Moore,. who
had been ill for some time, passed to
his reward. The late Edward Moore
was born in County Wexford, Ireland,
on April 25, 1826, being aged 67 years
and a few months. About the year
1849 he emigrated to Ontario, settling
in the county of Lanark, where he
married Mips Dennison in December,
1853. In Ireland the tieoensed had
learned the shoemaking trade and fol-
lowed his chosen occupation in this
country. He afterward removed near
Ottawa and about fourteen years
ago settled in Clinton. Tho family
consists of four daughters and five sone
—Mrs. Nichol,of Kincardine, William,
Miss Susan, Matilda, Robert, Mary
Jane, Wesley and Albert, of town; and
David, who is Ensign in the Salvation
Army, being ou the staff of Belleville
District. Mrs. Moore survives. All
the family are grown up, the two first
named being married. In the decease
of Mr. Moore the first family affliction
has occurred. All were at the bedside.
He was a metuber of the Rattenbury
street Methodist church and a faithful
Christian.. In politics he was Canner.
Wive. The funeral took place lass
rdday and watt' largely attended.

CONDITIONS ALTER CASES.—A short
time since there was a picnic party
from Goderich to the Point Farm,
Among the party, we are credibly in•
formed, was the editor of ,the Signal
He has long been known ea a 'queer
cuss," conclusions being formed of
course by the utterances of his paper.
The new arrival at Puiut Farm—the
picnic party—required among other
things a number of table kuives. The
redoubtable editor of the Signal was
despatched to borrow the necessary
articles and approached the genial and
obliging proprietor. "Knives," said
he, "why, I eau hardly loan you
knives, especially since you have been
au ungentlemanly to one of my guests.'
An explanatiou followed in effect that
the Hun. J. C. Patterson was the guest
tie proprietor referred to. Finally
Mr. MeG. was informed that the
knives could be obtained on ono con
dition, a coudition agreed to but not
faithfully carried out. It was that the
"clever" writer should, after receiv-
ing them, retire to the rear and sever
the fleshy part of his neck from jugu-
lar to jugular. Whether or not he
has survived the attempted attach on
his life at his own hands we have not
learned, but the tone of the paper is a
little more moderato toward the Minis•
ter of Militia. Wo are sure that Mr:
Patterson would much rather have the
editor of the Signal live, even though
the proprietor of the Point Farm would
resort to severe measures for the pro-
tection of all repected, or even distin•
guiehed guests.

He was a happy, jovial looking fellow
with more hair on his face than on the
top of his head and be it remembered
he is married yet to him the smile of a
pretty girl was simply irresistible, and to
discourage this kind of thing was a waste
of one of earths most precious delights.
Be that as it may, one fine day this
summer there dropped into one of our
quiet western towns an agent for the
new Automatic telephone and it so
happened that among the first men he
canvassed was the subject of this sketch.
After listening with business tact and
courtesy to the exhaustive explana•
tion of the detailed working of the new
system for the space of an hour of good
precious time hest said to his uncon-
scious tormentor, young man, then
motioning him to follow he put on his
hat and started with a stately step to
the central office where one of the afore•
mentioned pretty young ladies manipuls
ated the 'phone in the usual charming
wanner of the telephone girl. The
elder man threwbick his heac expand-
ed his chest, and extending his.arm again
said, young man ! you want me to be-
come a subscriber to your new telephone
system, in which is no bothering delays,
no waiting, no inconveniences, no opera,
tee' required at all, it is a touch the
buttons it does the restl arrangement.
No more need of the old fashioned
switching system in which a lovely
creature like what.you behold there
sweetly hello's to you in such a manner
as to make you wish that you had to do
nothing else but anewer calls. No,
young man, if your telephone does not
require any telephone girl, if it does
away with that I can tell you this that
the other company has the monoply of
tqe business so far as I am concerned,
even if they double their rates. Our ins
ferment says that the new system so far
as the town in question is concers-ed is a
dead failure.—AMAK.
