THE LOST FOUND.—Just a year ago a pet pug, belonging to Miss Murray, uleaercountably got lost, and efforts to diseove, its whereabouts failed. The other day, very much to her joy and surprise, the dog came home; it had evidently been kept in confinement, as a cord was attached to its neck. TELEPHONES. — There are 54 tele- phones In use just now, and the service was never better; the outside facilities are exceptionally good, conversation between here and Toronto being quite clear and distinct. Mr Combe, drug- gist, is putting in one of these useful instruments this week,which will make 55 in town. DIREOT SHIPMENT. — This week Messrs R and J Ransford shipped 80 head of fat cattle direct to Macdonald, Frazer & Co., Glasgow, and Mr J. Fair shipped 20 head. They are in charge of Messrs James Fair, jr., and Arthur Couch, to Montreal. This is, we un- derstand, the first direct shipment that has been made. . A HEAYX SNOWFALL.—When na- ture made up her bed last Friday night a beautiful snowy counterpane accompanied the mantle of darkness, and announced the silentadvent of winter. Saturday and Sunday it also ' snowed slightly, but yet enough to make passable sleighing, and on Mon- day quite a number of sleighs were moving about. Tdn CATTLE TRADE.—People who imagine there has been a fortune in • the cattle trade this year at e grievously mistaken, it having been a disastrous year for both local shippers and ex- porters. Many of the dealers in export cattle have lost heavily, .and the re- port of Toronto markets last week, published elsewhere, unfortunately show that Mr Hearn was also a looser. The trade is practically demoralized Cot wr OF REPIsioN, —. On Friday last Judge TQIns held court for the re- vision of the municipal voters' list; a large number of appeals were heard and disposed of. Mr Todd appeared on behalf of the Conservatives and Mr Scott for the Liberals. ENTERTAINMENTS. — The entertain- ment given by the Wobbling sisters, on Friday evening last, was fairly well attended, and was a unique and pleas- ing attraction.' Their performances were out of the ordinary, and there ; was little or nothing whatever that could be objected to. The Guy Brothers' minstrels played to a good house, on Monday; this com- pany is stronger than on its former visits, and has one of the best bands that has been heard here for some time. The next entertainment under the auspices of the Cricket Club will be given on the evening of December 27, by Mrs Caldwell and Mr Geo. Fox, of Toronto, two singers whose reputations speak for themselves. The addresses given by Rev J. H. Hector, the Black Knight, on Monday and Tuesday evenings,were very large- ly attended. The story of his own life was thrilling and intensely inte- resting, and, coupled with humorous incidents, kept his audience in fits of laughter. His lecture on Tuesday evening was entitled "The devil dressed in white," and was an arraignment of the liquor traffic. He also preached on Sunday last in Rattenbury and Ontario street churches, crowds being unable to get in at the latter. He is a man of considerable power and ability, with a fund of ready wit, and has a tendency to magnify unimportant details and trifles, for the amusement of his audi- ence. He aims, however, to do good, and when be scathingly denounces every -day follies which exist in some communities, people overlook what seem to be exaggerations. The crowds who go to hear him, even if drawn only by curiosity, must carry away good impressions, as he is intensely in ear- nest and says nothing out of place. The receipts of the two lectures were over $95, two-thirds of which go to the Dominion Alliance, by which he is em- ployed. I. O. G. T.—Friday night the newly elected officers were duly installed. The installation ceremony was very gracefully -performed- by Mr- H. B. - Chant, Lodge Deputy. There were two initiations, The numbers are in- creasing, and renewed interest is beim manifested each week. This (Friday vening, Nov. 16, there will be an inte- sting program of singing and read- s. At this meeting the newly elect - Chief Templar, Mr Alex. Cooper, deliver bis inaugural address. A attendance of the members is look - EL INSI)EcTION.—Mr Tilley, Mod- ool Inspector, was here in his capacity last week, and express - self as pleased with the work of odelites; out of the 44 attending 19 of them have secured schools ext year. Mr Tilley's written, re- as furnished to the Board of tees, closes with these words :•— s school has passed a very satis- ry examination ; the students ed much interested in their work, were unusually well trained in the asp and application of the underly - g principles of education, 0HANGINC„—About the end of this Month Mr John Tedford, blacksmith, expects to move his workshop to his former residence, on Rattenbury St.. which has undergone extensive chang- es for the purpose. The premises to be vacated by Mr Tedford, in connec- tion with Leslie's carriage shop, have been rented by Mr Albert Seeley, who takes possession early in January; Mr Seeley is an industrious and'experienc- ed young man, having worked for a considerable time with Mr Oliver John- ston. His place with the latter person will be taken by Mr Will Eagleson, a young man of well-known experience, NoTEs.—The Dry Goods Palace has put a nobby delivery cart on the road, which formerly belonged to the Rolfe estate, of London, bought by them. The Fruit Evaporator, which has been kept humming during the past season, will close in the course of a few days. Mr John Taylor, of Min- nedosa, Man., who is here on a visit, states that he and his brother have this season sold 75 cars of cattle, and had the good fortune to make on every shipment. Dock Blackall has dehorned over one thousand head of cattle dur- ing the past year, and has quite a number yet to look after. Mr George Hinchley left for Manitoba last week, in the interest of Macpherson & Hovey Co.; ticketed through by W. Jack- son. Business men should not leave poultry exposed at their store doors after dark; it is a temptation for them to disappear. The annuoncement, in an Exeter paper, that "Reeve Bawden on Tuesday disposed of the Hunt farm, -near-Kippen._ ta.allr, Pickett, of Clin- ton, for a good price," is an error; Pickett was looking at the farm, but as then could not agree on the terms, the proposed deal fell through. Mr Brewer will take part in a school en- tertainment at Holmesville, in the course of a couple of weeks. Mr E. Downs and wife, of Mitchell (son of Mr W. Downs, of town) left last week for Booseyain, Man., and were ticketed through by A. T: Cooper. Conductor Ireland, of Wingham, who rune the L.,H.&B. freight, had a finger badly jammed at Denfield Monday. Mrs Graham, of Colborne, left here this week for Whitewood, Man., and was ticketed by W. Jackson, as was also Mr and Mrs Scott, of Taylor's Corners, to Applegate, Mich. Mr Chas. Young has taken a situation in the London Furniture Factory, Mrs Coats has rented her house on Queen street to Mr John Medd, of Mullett, who pur- poses returning to town. We are sorry to hear that Miss Bella Booth is very ill, with small hopes of recovery. Mr Coombs, cf the Collegiate, received word this week that his mother was seriously ill. and her recovery was doubtful. Mr Geo. Theobald, of town, has been engaged as principal of Em- hro Public School for next year. Mr H. Stevens has issued a writ against Mr Jas. McGill tor $257, amount in dis- pute on building contract. Mr Shunk got shook up on Monday, by falling irom a lumber pile about 12 feet high. The Grand Trunk announce reduced rates for Thank giving Day. Ben Tom- linson is finishing up his course at To- ronto Veterinary School. Miss Lottie Holmes has been endeavoring to or- ganize a Kintergarten school in Mit- chell. The melancholy days are come, with snow and slush galore; some Clinton streets are buried 'neath a half foot of mud or more. The frame house' on Albert street, recently occupied by Mr Butt, is being removed; it is one of the landmarks. having been erected about, 35 or 44) years ago. The wife of Mr Fred Chowen, of Stratford, (cousin of Mr R. Chowen) died very unexpect- edly last week. Mr C. W. Graves, travelling passenger agent of the Grand Trunk Railway, London, was in town Iasi Friday. Mr G. F. Emerson went to Torcnto on Saturday, and selected a Williams cabinet grand Upright Piano for the wife of Dr. Robt. Agnew—a present from her father, Reeve Mc - Murchie. During cold, sloppy weath- er many people catch cold and pro- voke serious illness by not keeping their feet dry and warm. A writer in the Empire of Tuesday, proposed that the government should pension Capt. Andrews, the blind life saver of that city, and a week before a concert was given for his benefit; yet the innocent girl he basely deceived in this town, is allowed to starve, so far as receiving support from him is concerned. Mrs Thorn, mother of Mrs Chown, who is ill with fever, is recovering. Miss Page, of London, is the guest of Miss L. Graham. Thorpe Holmes, of St. Catharines, (eldest brother of Mr. E. Holmes,) died on Wednesday evening at his request six ofhis nephews will he his pall -hearers. Jacksotr Bros. sold a big bill of clothing to the Guy Min- strels.

Grounded Gilts in 6, 8,10 and 12 roll lots at 100 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, 11, 11 and 2 yards wide, but what we sell the most of, is a piece 12 yards square, which costs you 55c, 90c, $1,20 or $1.25 the square. The $1.25 square is made specially for the purpose,. being in the form of a square mat, finished with a border on all sides.

Bible Depository AGENTS FOR PARKER'S DYE WORKS LOSING VENTURES.—On different oc- casions efforts have been made to hold really meritorious concerts and other entertainments, but experience has, upfortunately, demonstrated that they cannot be made to pay. The concert • given by Miss McHardy, the other evening,was an illustration of this, for she was $40 out of pocket. Some years ago the House, of Commons Literary Society gave a high-class concert, and `although they had a good house, the proceeds were only $1 more than the "�._ outlay. We understand that the Jric.ket Club is almost $15 out on the Weblings entertainment. In the face of experiences of this nature, there is little encouragement to bring expen- sive musicians, etc., to small places. ACCIDENTS.—The other day, as Mr James Stevens, of the base line, was •ip .carrying some feed into a stall occupied by a colt, the animal became frightened and crushed him against the side, in- juring one of his arms severely. The other day Mr Thos. Feat, of the gravel road, Mullett, met with a simi- lar accident, but with more serious results; while feeding a colt it kicked him on the head, rending him sense- less, and then kicked him again while down. Fortunately no bones were broken, but a doctor's services were necessary to dress the wounds. On Sunday evening as Mr J, C. Stevenson was on his way home from church he slipped on the sidewalk, and falling on his left leg, it was broken at the 'ankle, both bones bein fractured.

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. 1 IDAY LONCE Cash and One Price Est J.
