This is not a lot of poor cottons, but clean,event, file goods,

NoTEs. - Knox College Conversa-
zione, Toronto, was a brilliant affair
last Friday evening, and among the
storm that was raging. at the time di
not prevent a fair crowd from attend-
ing the open meeting of the I. 0. G. T.
Lodge on Friday evening last. The
first-half f the program consisted • of
solos; dir its &quartettes, readings, reci-
tations' and a tableau; after a good
luncheon; provided by the ladies, was
served, Mr Frank Metcalf,. of. Myth,
delivered a very interesting and in-
structive address, which the audience
seemed ; to highly appreciate, next
came a tableau of womans rights when
a very successful meeting was brought
too a close sing ng the national
anthem:
BURIED' IN SNOW. -On. Tuesday last
a gentleman of town. who had a=natu-
ral desire to see how a railroad snow-
plow works when in actual operation,
ggot rather more in the shape of an ob-
ject lesson than than he had anticipat-
ed. A short distance east of the Stand-
• and Elevator was a drift of considerable
proportions. The gentleman, thinking
he was at a perfectly safe distance,was
seated on the fence directly opposite
the drift, but as the snow plow'beried
itself in the solid zuass, the man on the
fence was also buried in an avalanche -
of snow, and. for a few . moments he
was almost suffocated. He admits
that he had all the experience and ob-
servation he cares for.
the most familiar figures on this end of
the Grand Trunk for years, has been
promoted to another branch, and has
therefore. moved from Goderich to
Stratford. Mrs McDougall and family,
from near 'Brucefleld, have,{ takenup
their residence in town; she is a sister
of Mrs W. R. Lough. Mr Swartout,
a promising young -lawyer of Bramp-
ton,'who died suddenly last week, was
married to Miss Minnie Perry,lsieter of
Mr S. W. Perry, formerly of Clinton.

ton Fire Company acknowledge receipt
of a donation of $20, from Jackson
Bros., for services rendered at the re=
cent fire. The blizzard of Monday
blocked the late train from Stratford,
which got stuck near Mitchell, and was
not able to, proceed on its way until
Tuesday afternoon; consequently there
were no trains east until it had got
through. Mr Thos East, jr., intends to
move his family south in the early part
of March, and is offering his property
for sale; he has a good position as fore-
man of alarge brickyard down there.
Rev Dr Willoughby, of Listowel, was
a guest at Rattenbury St. parsonage
for a short time this week. Messrs Mc-
Garva and P. Cantelon this week made
their official audit of the town ac-
counts. Miss Mickle, while leaving
her boarding house the other evening,
slipped down'and broke a' small bon�ee
in her left arm. We are sorry to iet(rn•
that Mrs Carline continues in declining
health. Dr. F. LeM. Grassett, of To-
ronto, was called in consultation with
Dr. Shaw, on Tuesday, regarding Mr
Joseph Whitehead, who is at present
in a verycritical condition. Mr
Ed. Twitchell, who has been working
on'Manitoulin island, returned home a
few day's since, and had the misfor-
tune to lose his pocket book, contain-
ing $45,which hehas not yet recovered.
A car of stockers arrived from Toron-
to this' week for Messrs R. and J. Rans-
ford. Mr H. Stevens, assessor, has
commenced his duties. Division Court
will be held here on the!22nd. Mr S. S.

corated the ceilings and walls of the
Dry Goods Palace. Mr T. Polley and
wife. (brother-in-law of Mi Jas. Mc -
Math) are here on their wedding tour.
ATTLE FEEDING. -While referring
last week to the fattening of cattle by
Messrs Ransford and Fair, we might
have included the name of another
feeder equally meritorious, Mr D. A.
Forrester, who is fattening 50 head.of
oattlethat are,apparently, just as good,
if not better, than those previously al-
luded to. It is usually a pretty even
race between the gentlemen named, as
to who shall turn put the finest -bunch
of cattle in the spring, and although
the person who looks after Mr Forrest-
er's cattle is a younger man than the
ones similarly employed by MessrsFair
and Ransford, there are those who say
that, good and efficient as these men
• are, the younger one can give them
pointers.
SOMETHING UNUSUAL: The storm
of Monday was of such severity and
length, that one would hardly think
there was any place in the county
where it would not be experienced,
and yet such was the fact, nevertheless.
The family of Mr John Wigginton
(who reside on the Bayfield road) did
not know, from experience, that such
a storm was raging. The snow fell
there just as easily as if the day was
calm , and the force of the wind was
entirely unknown. Mr Wigginton's
house is protected on the east by a hill
:•and a heavy bush, and as the storm
was all from the east, they knew noth-
ing of its force, until told of it by
neighbors, although they heard the
wind tear over the top of the bush
with a noise like an express train.
THUNDER STORM. IN FEBlr1ARY.-A
vivid flash of light precipitated itself
over this neighborhood about 7.45
o'clock last Friday evening. To those
who were abroad its sudden bright-
ness had a very startling effect, a
fact that was none the less true in
the case of those within doors who saw
the flash from behind drawn blinds as
it appeared. in the darkness of the
night. A general mystery was caused
that did not, however, require much
lapseble
f distant thunder followed, lowed, and al-
though the occurrence of a thunder-
storm in February amounts almost to
a phenomenon, the storm that quickly
spread, left no room for doubt. The
lightning was of the variety known as
sheet lightning, and during the half
hour that the storm continued the

WORLD'S FAIR. -A World's Fair
entertainment, said to be much super-
ior to any other, comes to the Town
Hall, Clinton, next Thursday evening.
identified with it is the popular artist,
Mr W. E. Ramsay,, whose interesting
and humorous description of the Fair
is highly spoken of by both press and
public, and the several songs introduc-
ed by him very amusing. The scenes,
too are, most elaborate, being colored,
which adds gra tly to their beauty.
They are the onl colored ones in Can-
ada of the World's Fair, and there-
fore much more attractive than those
shown at similar entertainments.

Superior to Whale-

This is the most Practical and Common Sense invention of
the present period. The springs are very Flexible and
Lighter and yet More Durable than any stiffener
heretofore used in corsets.
They are not fixed or fastened -permanently in the pockets,
but are suspended, yielding to every conceivable move-
ment of the body; whether bending, sitting or stooping,
and cannot penetrate the material of the corset.
These springs are unbreakable, of which any lady can convince herself by sim-
plyremoving one of the springs and testing the same. With eachcorset
two extra springs are enclosed, which can also be used for dress steels.
The Corset is so constructed that it can actually be stiffened or boned
by the wearer at her own pleasure. If the corset should hurt on the
side, a complaint so general to other corsets, thelspp• ring can be removed.
This can be -accomplished by simply raising the flaps and withdrawing -
as many springs as the wearer might find convenie nt. TheWatchspring
owing to many superior advantages which it possesses, is to -day the
cheapest and most durable corset ever offered to the public, and one
which will be the most acceptable to the wearer, and the roost popular
