THE LATE Joseph MCCLOY.-T he
following from the Hagersville News of
the 18th ult. refers to a personal friend
of deputy -reeve Kennedy, the deceased
being a visitor to Clinton on several
occasions :-The death of Mr. Joseph
Mcoloy at his home in Ballsville on
Monday of last, week has caused
profound sorrow in this locality and
expressions of regret are heard on
every side. He was taken ill at
Windsor while in pursuit of his duty
as customs detective and returned
home about six weeks ago, suffering
from paralysis of the brain. Although
his medical advisers and friends con-
tinued to entertain hopes of his
ultimate recovery, they were compelled
to bow to the inevitable when ex-
hausted nature would no longer do its
work. The deceased was born in the
township of Oneida in 1852. For many
years he conducted a meat market in
kTagersville, but for some time pre-
vious to his appointment in Her Majes-
ty's service he speculated in live stock
;from which he derived a comfortable
;competence. About two years ago he
:was appointed customs detective under
the Dominion Government, which posi-
,tioh he retained until the time of his
death. He proved to be a courageous
and efficient officer and was very sue-
c:eseful, faithfully executing his duties,
but .avoided giving offence. His super-
iors described him as one of the best
and most trust worthy men in the
service and had he lived, his prospects
were very bright. Those who knew
Irim.,ip,timately always found a faithful
friend, generous to a fault. He was a
staunch. supporter of Conservative
principles and always took an active
interest,tn the welfare of his party. He
was a member of the I. O. F., and
Orange societies, ander whose auspices
his remains were interred. A. wife and
three children survive to mourn a faith-
ful husband, a fond father and a good
,citizen,
a
BUSINESS BOUGHT.—Messrs. Werry
and Ingram have bought the Blyth
planing� mill and we understand take
possessfon immediately. The people of
Blyth and neighborhood will find
both gentlemen competent business
men.
MR. WM. COLDWELL, brother of Mr.
S. Coldwell, Auburn, and a cousin of
councillor Plummer, is the guest of the
latter. He will also visit friends in
the township of Goderich. Mr. Cold -
well comes from within a few miles of
the home of Hon. N. C. Wallace and is
well acquainted with the latter.
Mn. D. B. CALBICK, an old-time and
present acquaintance and friend of the
writer, is branching out. He has or
will shortly engage in the stationery line
on his own account in Goderich. His
many friends in this section will be
pleased to learn of his prosperity and
business enterprise. ,
AFTER McGuIRE.-The Clinton Gun
Club are after the scalp of McGuire, of
Brussels. If the editor of the Post,
the popular Reeve . of that village,
will only exercise a little judicious care
the scalping process may be averted.
The anger of sharp shooters should not
be thoughtlessly aroused.
SOCIAL GATHERINGS.• -There were
social and jollygatheringgs at the homes
of Councillor Young and butcher Semi -
ton a few evenings ago. The time was
spent in social amusement and a real
good and profitable hour or two spent.
All were high in their praises for the
hospitality extended.

HAY SHIPPED. -The Hay King, W.
Cudmore, shipped 58 carloads of hay to
the, English market the last six
days in January. • The average of
each car was eleven tens. This means
a market and a profit for the farmers.
The raising of freight rates to Britain
is unfortunate, but the matter may
cone right in a short time. Men of
the enterprise of Mr. Cudmore help the
general community and we like to
chronicle their doings.
THE HOG MARKET. -Last and this
week dressed hogs realized in Clinton
from $5 to $5.50 per Sent. and a good
number were marketed, Mr. E. Dinsley

cure within reach and is paying the

live.hogs.

the green grocer, was seen with head
bandaged last Thursday. He informed
THE NEWS -RECORD that he had been
"knocked out." A load of wood was
being thrown in his cellar and Mr.
Coats was receiving it. One stick,
which seemed to come on the fly,
caught him on the right temple. He
was stunned and several minutes elaps-
ed before he recovered. Mr. Coats
would just as leave be knocked out by
a cordwood stick as receive a blow
from Sullivan, Corbett or Mitchell.
