AN UPSET,—On Tuesday, while Mr Jacob Beker was levelling ep the pitch - holes on Albert Street north, a horse driven by a, lady became unlnanitgeable, and threw her out of the rig, and in its plunges it nearly put an end to his ex- istence, but he fortunately escaped without injury. GOT BURT.—On Thursday evening last acouple of young fellows started from • Exeter to attend the Skating Races here, but before they had reach - Ad Clinton, their horse managed to cut oqe of its feet pretty badly byits plunging in the snow. The horse was placed under care of Dr. Blackall, where it still remains. FEEDING CATTLE.—Mr D. A. For- rester is feeding 75 head of cattle at his farm; as an experiment 50 of them are kept in confinement and 25 of them • alloaed to run loose, (being fled the same in other respects) just to see which will do the best. Mr Jas. Fair is stall feeding about 70 head. Rens- -ford Bros, are not this season stall- , feeding any. DOES NOT OFTEN HAPiiEN.—Some 'one pointed out the other day a cir- cumstance that does not often occur. ''The Mayors of Stratford, Mitchell, Seaforth and Clinton are all Metho- dists, while the defeated candidate for the same office in Goderich was of the same persuasion. This takes in the whole range from Stratford to Goderich. ' MIGHT RAVE FROZEN—A young man of this vicinity, whose name is with- held, was walking alone one nay last week, when he was suddenly taken with a fit, and fell in the road. Had it not happened in a public place he cer- tainly would have frozen to deatb, be- ing badly chilled as it was, and had only been lying there a short time. CHARITY CONCERT. — The Relief Committee of the W. C. T. U. intend, if it can be so arranged, to hold a .Charity Concert in the town hall, on the evening of Friday, Feb. 15th. There are several very deserving and needy cases in town, and if a little assistance can be rendered them in this way, the townspeople will no doubt render the aid that is necessary.

A NAIt.Rnw ESCAPE. -00 Tuenjay, while the Patron Convention was in ses- sion in the Uouncilehamber, smoke was noticed issuing from 'the hot air cham- ber, and investigation revealed the fact that the floor was on fire. The caretaker was near by, and the fire was extinguished before it had done any damage - or made any headway. It originated, apparently, from some defect, in one of the furnaces, and wogid quickly have got beyond con- trol. The furnace has since been over- hauled. A. U. U.

Although provided a with all necessary appliances for the u work, it took all day and a good part o of the night to get the plow and en- G gine in shape for transport back to the workshop at Stratford. s; 11 f That judicious and honest advertising pays, we are more than A PROGRESSIVE CLINTONIAN.—NO matter where Clintonians go to, they make progress and advancement. W e are glad to allude to a former resident, who is evidently climbing the ladder of popularity and success. Mr Wm. Robertson, formerly with R.M. Racey, has been with the firm of Beard, Goodwillie & Co., Port Huron, for three years. They have raised his salary every year, and said as long as they were in business they wanted him to stay with them, and also gave him a horse and t uggy to use in going to and from his work. I.O.G.T.—There was a fair attead- ance at the meeting of Good Teniplars on Friday evening. The officers elect were duly installed by Lodge Deputy H. B. Chant. A communication was read from Mr Murdoch, District Chief Templar, saying that he will be pres- ent at the open meeting, which will be held here sometime during this month. Arrangements for this meeting are being made with the zeal that has al- ways marked the work of the Good Tempters, and a good treat will cer- tainly be the result. Also six dele- gates were appointed to represent our odge at the regular District Temper- ance meeting to be held in Blyth on the 15th inst. The lodge is in a very healthy condition, and the number of members in good standing is 86, and not 36 as by a printer's mistake it was made to appear in last week's issue. REVISING THE LISTS.—Judge bogie held court in Clinton, on Monday, for the revision of the Dominion Voter's List. Mr Hays, of Goderich, was pres- ent as legal counsel for the Conserva- tives, and Mr Proudfoot, Godericb, for the Liberals. At the ,outset the "Whole of the appeals by the Liberals were objectedrto by Mr Hays, on the ground that the Judge had not received them within ,the requisite time, the 20th of Jan. being the date specified— this being a Sunday. The law requires the appeals to be delivered persoreall , or by registered letter, and Mr Proud* foot showed by the postmark on the envelope that they had been mailed here on the 19th, but bore the Gode- rich post ark of the 21st. The Judge reserved his decision on this point, and proceeded to hear fend determine the appeals. :A, number on each aide were diepeeed of; ad other mutually agreed to,. e'r'ldebt fairness and impartiality eineehoWnhy the Judge.

The Dick's Concert Co. did not turn up on Tuesday night. The hill at the north end of Albert street has been pretty badly drifted, and immense pitch -holes were soon formed there; Mr Kennedy, as chair- man of the street committee, has been zealous in looking after the road, and kept it in as good shape as circum- stances would permit, there being no holes of any account now. Mr John A. Cooper, of Toronto, (eldest son of Mr W. Cooper)was unanimously elected Secretaryereasurer of the Canada Press Association, last week. Mrs Geo. Glasgow, of Cavalier, Dakota, has been visiting her old friends in this neighborhood, and returns to Dakota this week. Mr J. B. Rumball is con- fined to the house by a severe cold. Mr Thomas McKenzie has entirely re- covered from her recent illness. It is said that the family of Mrs Whitely, of the Huron Road, Tuckersmith, contemplate remoyal,to Clinton at an early date. After the meeting of the town council, on Monday night, Messrs Wheatley and Welsh, two of the town officials, entertained the members of the council to an oyster supper, at Coat's restaurant; this is is an example worthy of emulation by other em- ployees of the council. A load of youngpeople from here attended the omCircle entertain men tat Auburn, on Tuesday night; notwithstanding the intense cold, they had a splendid time, until within a mile from home, when they were all dumped out in the snow. The collector of Poll tax, Mr Wheatley, says he had no idea there were so many young men of the age of 21 years in town, until he heard them swear to their age at the Court •of Re- vision on Monday, and he will govern himself accordingly. Mrs Strickland, of Cannington, died a few days ago, leaving • three Children to mourn her demise; she will be known to Clinton - Jane as Miss Flannigan? at one time e.nployed as milliner with J. C.

Our Cottons, Shirrings, Sheetings, Cottonades,•Flannels, &c., are all the product of Canadian looms, but there are a few old world industries that do not flourish here; one of these is the art of embroidery. To do that successfully one must be a Swiss, and live in Switzerland. That's where the finest and best Embroideries come from Our new ones came last week, and in every way, design, quality. value, they are'4ar and away better than ever before.
