TaaPT.-During the progress of the
games at the Collegiate Institute, on
Friday afternoon last, some was mean
enough to enter the gymnasium and
carry off a black vest belonging to one
of the contestants. In the, pockets
was a silver watch, expensive foun-
tain per and, other articles.
HAD TO IgE SHOT.—On Saturday a
horse was hired from Beattie's livery
to go to Exeter; on Sunday the party
wire—hired—it---came—in—and—told—Mx•
Beattie that the horse had become so
lame below Brucefield that it could
not be driven home, Mr Beattie went
down and found that the horse had°in
some ,unaccountable way broken its
leg, and there was no alternative but
to shoot it.
FRAM AFFLUENCE TO POVERTY.—
One night last week a man asked for
and received a night's lodging in the
cooler here. He was under the influ-
ence of liquor and was recognized as a
man • who had at one time been a well-
known commercial traveller. Three
years ago he and three brothers fell
heirs to $30,000, which was evenly
divided. His allowance has been
squandered. in drink, and to -day he has
not one cent.
BOWLING,—A garue was played be-
tween teams from Clinton and London
on Tuesday on the grounds of the Lon-
don Bowling Club, resulting in a win

EXHIBITION CArt.—The C.P.R. Ex-
hibition car will be at Clinton station
on Saturday next, and all who wish to
see the products of the great north-
west, in the shape of grain. &c., are in-
vited to visit the car. In the evening
a free lecture will be given showing
the resources and possibilities of the
country, in the town hall, to be illus-
trated with lime light views, showing
harvesting operations, &c. Speaking
of the exhibit made while in Toronto,
the Globe says:—"Taken altogether the
display is the best and most attractive
that has ever been made at the Toronto
fair."
A.DOUBTFUL CASE.—On Saturday a
young fellow, well dressed- And "with
his arm in a sling, went around town
soliciting assistance. His story was
that while lifting carboys of nitric acid
from a boat at Toronto, one broke and
burned his arm. He claimed to have a
mother and sister residing at Sault Ste
Marie, and also stated that he had a
brother in town with him, but he left
him in charge of some one, as he was
blind. The fellow, in his canvas for
funds, told different stories, and he
was taken in charge by constable
Wheatley for obtaining money under
false pretences. He offered to leave
his money in the Mayor's charge until
he brought his brother up to verify his
statements; this being acceded to he
went after his brother—and is evident-
ly after him yet—as he "never came
back." The money, about $4, will be
directed to the charitable funds of the
town.
MARRIAGE.—The Edwardsville, Ill.,
Intelligencer thus alludes to the mar-
riage- of a,.former Clintonian :—"Mr
Frank Irving, of Los Angeles, Cal.,
and Miss Lena Schwettman, of this
city,were married Wednesday evening
at eight o'clock, at the home of the
brides mother, Mrs Charlotte Schwett-
man, on Centre street. The two hap-
py young people, content with the pre-
sent and buoyant with hopes for the
future, were made one by pronouncing
the marriage vow of the Presbyterian
church. The ceremony was performed
by Rev A. M. Elliott, in the presence
of fifty guests, relatives and friends of
the couple. The bride is a lovable
young lady, and highly esteemed by
all. The groom is a clever gentleman,
and manager of a department in the
large dry goods house of A. Hemberger•
& Son, in Los Angeles. That theirs
may be a successful voyage through
life is the wish of the Edwardsville
friends."
A CYCLONE AND CLOUDBURST.—This
section was visited by a storm of un-
usual severity and violence on Thurs-
day evening last, the wind having,
cyclonic force, while the rain was in
the nature of a cloud -burst. In Gode-
rich township, from which section the
storm approached town, bridges were
washed out cn the 1st, 4th and Oth
concessions, and three culverts on the
Huron road were destroyed; in places
where the culverts were at least four
feet lower than the road, the rush of
water was so great as to flood the road-
way. A dam on the farm of Mr D.
Cox was washed away. The wind un-
roofed the barn of Mr John Holmes,
just west of town; it then struck and
damaged the houses of Mr Hale, Rat-
tenbury St.; Miss Mountcastle and
Mrs Taylor, on Spencer St. It then
lifted three-quarters of the roof off For-
rester's flax miil, carried it across the
roadway and lodged it in a field about,
50 feet distant. McTaggart's windmill
was then wrecked; striking two
chimneys on the rear of Mrs Manning's
house, both were demolished, the raf-
ters being cracked; a stable belonging
to Mr Hugh McDonald was unroofed,
the top being carried out into'the road;
trees twelve inches in diameter were
uprooted bodily or snapped like pipe -
stems; no further damage was done
until the cyclone reached about three
miles into Hullett, when it unroofed
the barns of Messrs Albert and Roht.
Brown. The wind appeared to pass in
a streak through the northern end of
the town, for no wind of any account
was experienced elsewhere. The rain,
however, descended so fast that the
largest culverts were not Sufficient to
cArry it off "hnd`the s(reeth were flood -
ACCIDENT,—On Friday last, as Mrs
David Steep was closing a window, the
frame of which had swollen with the
rain, and required' some force to pull
down, her foot slipped, and in trying
to save herself her hand went through
the glass, cutting the wrist so badly us
to require the services of a doctor to
take some of the glass out.
COMMERCIAL CERTIFICATES.—At the
July examinations for commercial dip-
lomas twenty-three students of the
Clinton Collegiate Institute were suc-
cessful. Of these eleven wrote at the
primary and passed; their names have
already been published. The others
are as follows:—James A. Baird, Lily
Holmes, Mary McCallum, Nellie Van-
hridger, Clara Watson, Minnie Aitken,
Melinda Clegg, Jas. A. Dunkin, Clara
Klopp, . Hannah McKenzie, Blanr:he
Shepherd, Georgie Murray.f the
outsiders who wrote at Clinton the
following have passed:—A. C. Butch -
art, No. 1, Stanley; A. Anderson,, L.
Bentley and A. McMillan, Blyth; J.
eau —A—Murray,—No. 2, Tueker--
smith. Some others have passed on
the written work, but their books were
not completed.
NOTES.—At the recent meeting in
Toronto of the Ontario Undertakers
Association Mr J. C. Stevenson, of
town, was chosen as a member of the
Executive. Miss Nello McHarciy will
give a concert in the course of a couple
of weeks, in which her pupils will take
part, assisted by several eminent vocal-
ists. Mr, E. F. 'Davis, thejeweller,.has
purchased the book and stationery
business of Robins Bros., of Mitch-
ell, formerly of this place. A sub-
scription list was in circulation on
Saturday last, to raise some assist-
ance for Mr W. J. McBrien, of Hul-
lett, who was lately burned out. O.G.
Marten, of Toronto, formerly of Blyth,
has been getting himself into trouble
again by appropriating a bicycle that
he never paid for. Mr John Clark, of
Clandeboye, has taken a position with
Taylor & Sons. An eclipse of the
moon occurred on Friday night last,
and was quite distinct. The. latest
rumor in connection with the post of-
fice is to the effect that Mr Robert
Porter, late M. P., is to be appointed
postmaster; he being an outsider, such
an appointment would give dissatis-
faction. The night of the big storm
Mr George Hoflich was driving along
Rattenbury street, when a telephone
wire, which had blown down, caught
him directly under the chin, making a
painful wound. The number of per-
sons that are soliciting assistance is
greater than ever. Wm. H. Miln, of
Toronto, publisher of 'Cycling, was
here last week, in the interests of his
journal; he was touring on his bike,
and expresses himself as highly pleased
with the roads in this district. In
some unknown manner a haystack on
the premises of Mr John Joy took fire,
on Wednesday, and had it not been
for the prompt assistance of neighbors,
would have destroyed adjacent pro-
•pperty. Three more telephones are
being put in --one for Dr. Agnew, one
for... r McGarva's house, and one for
Cooper & Co's grocery. Mils -C. "Camp=
bell, of Goderich, took a number of
prizes at the London Fair, in ladies'
work. A couple of popular and pro-
minent Clinton ladies will be married
next week. The attempt to establish
a weekly market day Is, seemingly,
not a success, the attendance last Sat-
urday being practically nothing; this
is much to be regretted, and shows
that neither farmers nor townspeople
have yet realized the value or advan-
tages of mutual co-operation in this
respect. We understand that the pa-
rents of Mr. Allen, of Allen & Wilson,
are about to take up their residence
here. About 250 tickets were sold here
for London this week. Mrs. Pridham,
of Buffalo,formerly Miss Grace Robert-
son, is now Mrs. Frank Wadsworth.
The Cricket Club intends to give a very
fine concert, the second evening of the
fall show, Oct. 3rd. Mr. Ern Hovey
has rented the vacant store iu the Bea-
ver Block, and as soon as it is over-
hauled, will open outwith a drug stock.
Mr. A. 0. Pattison has been offered the
Grand Ti unk agency at Strathroy, but
has not yet accepted; we voice the sen-
timents of our townspeople, when we
express the hope that he will not ac-
cept it.; he has proved himself an Oil
cient, obliging and courteous agent,
and his departure would be regretted.

Oa,
Priestley's
Dress Goods!
In the long run it is the quality of the material that will de-
termine the success of a lady's costume; if the quality is
good you get the wear and appearance; every lady knows
that. PRIESTLEY'S BLACK DRESS Goons are the best
the market affords,that is conceded by people everywhere.
The name of Priestley is a synonym for what is delicate,
durable and beautiful in Black Dress Goods. There's
ss-Goods--rrnade-than-Priestley's; they -cora:
in Black and Navy Blue, and the better they are known
the more they are asked for, and the more popular they
become. They wear better than any other goods, but
their great charm consists in a peculiar richness and soft -
Bess of appearance with a flexibility no other make
possesses.
We Introduced
Priestley's Dress Goods
In Clinton last spring, and on SATURDAY LAST our fall impor-
tations came to hand, they are now marked and passed
into stock. When buying them for this season we did
not go to the wholesale agents in this country and pay
them a profit, but got them direct from HEADQUARTERS,
where they are made, in Bradford, England. Getting
them from first hands we saved the wholesale profit. We
may not be the authorized agents for these goods here,
but we've got them for all that, got stacks of them, got
all we want, got them with the name Briggs, Priestley &
Son stamped on the selvege ery five yards; got them
on varnished boards, (Priestley's trade mark) and got
thein marked at prices a good deal lower than they
would or could have been marked had we bought them
from the agents in this country. We've got
Priestley's all wool Henriettas, Priestley's Black Serges
Priestley's Silk warp Henriettas, Priestley's Navy Serges
Priestley's Black Soliels Priestley's Black Twills
Priestley's Fancy Black Goods Priestley's _Navy Twills
If you want to see the choicest lot of Black and Navy Drees Goods ever shown Uhere,

show you there.
