BLACK KNOT.—There are a large nfimber of fine plum and cherry trees growing in town, and their owners try and keep them free from black knot, but there are others who make no effort in this line at all, and. as the insect which causes the knot floats in the air, it is very little use for one man to go to the trouble to prune it out of all his trees when his neighbors trees are full of it. When it is cut out it is very important that it should be burnt, in order to destroy the insect. Anyone neglecting to keep their trees clean are liable to a fine of $20. LACROSSE.—Clinton has three full- fledged lacrosse tennis. The Senior Dauntless Club will' not only sustain its good reputation, but we predict will win fresh laurels during 1894.

It will be remember- ed that Mr. Carey was here in connec- tion with the special meetings recently held in this church and his sermons at that time were highly appreciated by those that heard him. No doubt a second visit will he welcomed by all. In connection with the above a literary and social entertainment will be given under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U. on Monday evening, 30th inst. A good prograuirne will be given. Refresh- ments will be served from 7 to8 o'clock. The public are cordially invited to at- tend all the services. ACCIDENT.—Last Thursday Mr. T. C. Doherty met with a severe accident near Auburn. He had delivered a new organ to a gentleman in Wawanosh and was returning toward home. In turning the corner the front platform spring broke and the box and Mr. Doherty were almost turned over and thrown out. Although the horses made a desperate effort to free them- selves, Mr. Doherty held on to the ribbons and was dragged a considerable distance. How he escaped with his life is a mystery. As the animals' heels ascended they grazed his head. Medical assistance was summoned. The most severe and painful injury was to his right leg, but Mr. Doherty is able to prove around again. The waggon, a new one, was badly damag- ed, while the horses escaped unhurt. JOHN MCLENNAN DEAD. --In the death of John McLennan, the noted fifer and a well-known character, has passed away. He had been ailing for several week from kidney trouble and succumbed at his home in Goderich township on Sunday, aged 64 years. The deceased was horn in Fermanagh, Ireland, and when a lad came to Can- ada with his parents and settled at or near Brantford, all removing to Goder- ich township a few years later. He followed farming and framing, the latter calling bringing him in contact with a great many people in Huron and adjoining counties. Ho was sever- al years elected a member of the God- erich township council. The deceased leaves a wife and large family. John McLennan was not faultless; he had a big heart and was himself his worst enemy. Prominent as a fifer, the 12th of .Iulry would always find him "at the walk.' The funeral took place to Bay- field cemetery yesterday under Orange auspices. Local Dealer G+ uzi Compete '"ill U's' . in variety or price.

It is the supplying of this that has made Priestley's Dress Fabrics • So highly' esteemed the world over. . For beauty, • tes ture and enduring quality they are unequalled. Manufactured as they are, in pure wool and. in silk and wool interwoven, these goods have a soft richness that is a per. • , feet delight to a lady of taste. A. dress of Priestley's 'fabrics retains its style and beauty as long as there is any of it left, hence they are the most economical to buy. Priestley's goods are mostly in Black, and Black and White, and you can be sure you are getting the genuine by see ing that they are rolled on a varnished board with the words "Priestley's trade mark" stamped across the end ; unless they are so rolled they are not Priestley's. You can get Priestley's Dress Fabrics from us. We are sole agents for Clinton, and have a fine range for you to select from. Something New Stewart's Duplex Safety Pins We have just received from the markers in New York a hip - went of these pins. They are a great improvemenikpver the ordinary safety pin, lock, as freely in the darns in the light, and from either side, cannot miss fastening by. passing through, the point is completely hidden and i3ro- tected when fastened, and also have the additional ad- vantage of the "guard attachment" over the coil, so that the fabric cannot catch therein, as is so often tl. case with the common safety pin. We have them in three sizes, small, medium and large. They cost a cent or two a dozen more than the common kinds but then the're far better. Est. J. Hogen; CLINTON. 9.'
