PROPERTY OHANGE.—Nelson Steep,
whq at present resides on the gravel
road, north, has bought a plot. of 12
acres, near'St. Stephen's church, Hu-
ron road, Goderich township. There
is a fairly good house and stable on the
premises. The price paid was $1,000.
He takes possession in the spring.
IMPROVEMENTS.—Mr W. Weir, of
the Bayfieid road, has removed a por-
tion of his frontfence, and levelled off
the ground, preparatory to erecting a
wire fence. Mr Weir believes in mak-
ing every improvement that Will be
advantageous. There are people who
say he works his farm to such advan-
tage that he secures relatively better
crops than any other farmer here-
abouts. He had a yield of 40 bushels
of wheat to the acre.
GAIx .—Gatne seems to be unusually
plentiful this season, particularly
black squirrels; asMr Jas.Walkinshaw •
was driving to town, he saw a good ,
sized fox leisurely crossing an open
field, and one was seen on Mr Robin-
son's farm the other day, just west of
town. Mr Fred Argent should be
credited with the honor of killing the
wild cat captured last vVeek. It is said
that a second one was shot in the
same neighborhood a few days later,
by a Seatorth sportsman.
WORKING OVERTIME—The demand
for the world-renowned Doherty organ
is so great that the hands are now kept
working overtime, in order to meet re-
quirements. This is something very
unusual in any line of manufacture, es-
pecially in these hard times; the staff
of the factory has also been increased
by the addition of eight or ten new
hands, and it shows that this organ has
created for itself a demand that must
be met. There's nothing like having
a thorough, wide-awake business man
at the bead of an establishment, and
Mr. Doherty combines these virtues,
with any amount of push and "get
there", qualities in addition. We are
also pleased to learn that the English
trade of this factory is greatly on the
increase; it has for some time been a
most important and valuable branch,
hut of late has shown wonderful ex-
pansion. In addition to other foreign
orders, one was received a few day's
since from England, for 12 Students'
Pedal Practice Organs; as this grade of
organ is only used by high-class musi-
cians, for preparatory practise for the
Pipe Organ, it speaks highly indeed of
the merits of the Doherty, when it is
thus selected by English organists, and
shows that among experts it is regard-
ed as the one best meeting their re-
quirements.
THE BLAOK KNIGHT.—Rev. J. H.
Hector will preach in Rattenbury St.
church on Sunday morning next, and
in Ontario St. church in the evening.
On Monday evening he will lecture in
Ontario St. church and on Tuesday
evening in Rattenbury St, church. He
is a powerful orator;athetic, humor-
ous and realistic. He has drawn im-
mense audiences elsewhere, and it is
not often that our townspeople have
an opportunity of hearing one who
has become so famous.
GOOD TEMPLARS.—At the meeting
of the Good Templars, on Friday night
last, the following officers were elected
for the ensuing term:—Chief Templar,
A.J. Cooper; Vice, Miss L. Washing-
ton;.Rec. Sec., A. E. Coombs; Fin.Sec.,
W. Smith; Trea., Miss S. Moore; Chap-
lain, Mrs Stevenson; Marshall, Wm.
Powell; Inner Sentinel, Miss Tiplady;
Outer Sentinel, Thos. Southcombe;
Organist, Miss Whittingham. Instal-
lation takes place this evening. At
the last meeting a couple were initiat=
ed and several others proposed for
membership.
ROYAL TEMPLARS.—An open meet-
ing of the Royal Templars was held on._
Thursday evening last iri the Iocdge
room, MacKay block. About thirty
members of Goderich council were
present, also a. number from Seaforth,
and several from town not members
of the order. The program was fur-
nished chiefly by members of Gode-
rich council, and consisted of address-
es by Inspector Toms and Rev. Jos.
Edge, with quartettes, duets, solos,
&c. The visitors were all entertained
by the members of Clinton council be-
fore they returned home.
MIss MCHARDY's CONCERT.—The
concert given last Friday evening by
Miss McHardy and her pupils. assisted
by Miss Kleiser, of Buffalo, Mr Stur-
rach, of Toronto, and Mr Harvey, was.
an excellent one, and certainly deserv-
ed a'much better audience. "The Holy
City," as sung by Mr Sturrock, was
worth the whole entrance fee, and we
cannot speak too highly of Miss Kleis-
er's singing, which was very sweet.
The playing of the pupils reflected
very great credit on their teacher, and
showed that they had been well train-
ed in the art of piano playing, but it
would not be fair for us to distinguish,
as every one was good.
NOTES.—Rev. J. B. McKinnon has
moved his family to Kemptville,whete
he has accepted the ,pastorate of the
Baptist church; the house vacated by
him on Princess St., has been rented to
Mr H. B. Ker. Mr Porter has rented
one of Mr Fred Rumball's houses. Mary
street, and will remove his family here.
Mr Josiah Butt moves 'into his -new
house on Albert street, this week. Mr
Wilbur Manning and wife spent Sun-
day at Exeter. Mr James Cassels re-
turns in a few days to Ontario, Cal.,
and the probabilities are that he will
not return alone; there will be a good
deal of joy on the return trip; he is a
steady, industrious• young man, and is
likely to succeed in that western coun-
try. Mr and Mrs Robt. Agnew spent
Sunday with the former's parents,near
Belgrave. Mr Robt. Coats is now able
to attend to business, as heretofore,
though he yet feels a little sore. Miss
M. Muir and Mrs Weise and daughter
of Zephyr, are on a visit to their pa-
rents, Mr and Mrs W. Muir, of this
place. Mr James Jackson, of Seaforth,
tormerly of Clinton, has been appoint-
ed C. P. R. agent there; Jim will look
well after the company's interests.
Mrs Oakes, sr., who has been living on
Albert St., has taken up her residence
with her daughter, Mrs A. Goodwin.
Mrs Chowen, sr., of Mitchell, is laid up
here.at..the—residence ..of.• -her son.; -.her
illness is only of a mild form, yet at
her age it is serious enough. The oth-
er day Mr John McMurray accidental-
ly stepped into a post hole and sprain-
ed the cords of his leg so severely that
he has been lame ever since. Mr Thos
Cottle, sr,. has moved into the house
he bought on the Huron road. Mr J.
B. Weir returned from Manitoba on
Saturday. On Monday one of the
telephone workers, named Hui ley, fell
out of a tree, a distance of nearly forty
feet, and was pretty badly shook up;
he was fortunate that be sustained no
more serious injuries. A new industry
has sprung up in town, known as "the
horn table industry; and cattle horns,
former ly considered of little value, are.
now in great demand. Mr David Can-
telon left on business on Tuesday for
Winnipeg. The handsome piano -case
Doherty 'organ, • exhibited at the var-
ious fall fairs by Mr T. C. Doherty, has
been purchased by Mr Thos. Coad, of
Morrie. There was a slight flurry of
snow on Tuesday; but it did not stay
long. Detective Rogers, of Toronto,
passed up the line of the, L. H. & B.
the other day; what was he after?
Mr James Hearn shipped a car load of
cattle to Montreal, on Wednesday.
Mr Geo. Powell, of Blyth, is shipping
apples from here to Montreal. Mr
Thos. Tipling, who has been baggage -
man here for sometime, leaves next
week for Wingham, where he goes
into business with his brother-in-law;
he is obliging, courteous and reliable,
and the people of Wingham will find
him a good citizen. Taylor Bros., of
Minnedosa, are in Montreal will seve-
ral loads of Manitoba cattle, and Mr
John Taylor is expected here this week
to pay a visit to his relatives. Miss
Brownlee, of Colborne, daughter of
Mr John Brownlee, formerly of Gode-
rich township, and Mr Albert Mitch-
ell, of Colborne, (nephew of Mr James
Stevens) were married on Wednesday.
Miss S. Otidmore, of Kippen, has taken
aposition with tlumsteel & Gibbings.
MH. C. Cook, who has been buying
apples on commission for Mr Cardno,
Qt Seaforth, finished up last week; he
bought between one and two thousand
barrels, and speaks in the very highest
terms of Mr Cardno, with whom his
business relations wbre most pleasant
and satisfactory. Mr John Oakes has
moved over the store occupied by Boyd
& Oakes, and Mrs Gauley will move to
the house vacated by Mr Oakes, on
Mary street. Miss M. Brownlee, of
town, has been on the sick list, but is
improving. A rather unusual affair
transpired at the home of Mr John'
Oakes the other day; a lady friend
from Blyth, who was both deaf and
dumb, was visiting Mrs Oakes, and
three others, who are similarly afflict-
ed, hearing of it. came and spent the
day with her; they were all experts
with the deaf and dumb alphabet, and
the rapid motions of their fingers was
interesting to see. Mr Sid. Croll ex-
pects to spend the winter in Montreal.
Mark Wade, of Stratford, for years a
conductor on this branch cf the G.T.R.,
and known at one time as the "tong
conductor," being popular as well, died
suddenly at Stratford this week. Now
is your time to prune your choice
grape vines and lay them down for the
winter. Inquirer wants to know if the
members of a municipal council have
power to violate the by-laws of the
municipality, or give their consent to
their violation; certainly not. We are
told that a certain farmer near here,
who had mpre horses than he wanted
to winter, and found it impossible to
sell them, actually turned tlfree out on
the road the other day, with the
hope that they would wander away
and thus he would be saved the ex -
bentre of feeding theta; but they came
ack 'to, him. Ogle:Cooper, & Co's
chatt)te a ad, came to hand too late't(,,.

SUPPER.—Tuesday evening was the
occasion of a very pleasant reunion at
the Rattenbury House. Mr Harding,
an English gentleman, who has lately
been staying here, invited several of
his friends to a farewell supper, pre-
vious to returning to his native
land. Amongst those who were present
we noticed Messrs W. W. Farran, J.
P. Tisdall, W. Jackson, Dr Shaw, H.
T. Rance, J. Fair, jr., R. S. Doan, P.
Crewes, W. P. Spalding, A. M. Todd,
J. Beacom, J. Ransford and others. A
most bountiful repast was spread, to
which ample justice was done, in a
truly English manner. After the
solids had been removed, the company
settled themselves down to an enpoy-
able time. Toasts, songs, recitations
and anecdotes were the order of the
day, flanked by various seductive fluids
known as Scotch, ,Irish, malt, rye, etc
Mr Spalding treated the company to
one of his well-known songs; Mr H. B.
Combe introduced an entirely new se-
lection, and one that when better
known, will become deservedly popu-
lar. Mr Rance was to the front with
a stirring patriotic effusion, that should
have been heard to be appreciated.
But all the vocalists had to give way,
and yield the palm for soothing, plain-
tive, truly harmonious music, melody
that made one feel as though they
were floating off into ethereal space,
when Mr W. Jackson, enthralled the
company with the rarely -heard but
never -to -be forgotten song entitled
"Old Black Joe. This, followed by a
verse of "Massa's in the cold, cold
ground," brought down the house, and
produced such a volley of applause
and admiration, that Mr Jackson was
fain to how his acknowledgements of
the company's appreciation, and with
that graciousness of manner so seldom
found in high class artists, responded
to an encore with two verses of that
Canadian ballad so dear to many of us,
"Good night, ladies." In the chorus
of this therewas a general surprise and
delight for the andience, Mr Jaekson
being assisted by the rich basso-pro-
fundo of Mr J. P. Tisdall. This latter
gentleman, if he will permit us, mis-
took his calling, and should be in the
front rank of operatic singers. As a
really fine bass singer he stands alone.
Mr Harding's health was then proposed
and drunk with great enthuslat?m, ac-
companied with "He's a jolly good
fellow."'lard-

Under your
Stove
It's a good idea to put a piece of Oil Cloth; a live
coal or some hot ashes dropped from it will
spoil ;more carpet in a minute, than would
have paid for the oil .cloth half a dozen
times over.
We have it 1, 1+, 12 and 2 yards wide, but what
we sell the most of, is a piece 11 yards
square, which costs you 55c, 90c, $1,20 or
$1.25 the square.
The $1.25 square is'made specially forthe purpose,
being in the form of a square mat, finished
with a border on all s ides. while it costs
a trifle more than the others, it has by far
the best appearance.
Did You Know
That we made and laid all Carpets bought of us,
free of charge ? That's quite an advantage,
even if we hadn't a bigger and better stock
(which we think we have) and didn't sell
any cheaper (which we' think we do) than
most people.
