IT NEVER CAME BACK. -Mayor
Butler of Goderich was en route for
Toronto on the 12th of July. When he
arrived at Clinton he got out on the
platform to stretch his limbs. As
customary the Goderich train moved
on a little from the station to allow
the Wingham to come up. Employes
and others said the Goderich train
would certainly back up to the station.
But it, never came back again and Mr.
Butler was obliged to postpone hitt
journey east until the 2:30 train. The
reason for the train not backing up as
usual was that it was already over
crowded.

why a false alarm should be given at
any time. At Walkerton the firemen
,had been fooled similar to what
Inspector Howe desired here, and
when a genuine fire occurred the
Herald; describes the way the brigade
turned out :-"About 25 Minutes palet

CONDOLENCE. -The following resolu-
tion of condolence, was unanimously
passed at the last, meeting of Clinton
Council No. 115, C. O.C. F.: -To FRIEND
T. L. FORTUNE -DEAR SIR AND FRIEND
-We, the members of Clinton Council
No. 115, C. 0. C. F., desire to extend to
you and your family our sincere sym-
pathy in this your hour of trial, in the
loss of your eldest son. Although but
a young member of our Order, he -took
an active interest in the work, and had
he been spared, would have made a
very useful and worthy meanher•, but
God, in his divine plan, had ordered
otherwise; no doubt for some good
purpose, which we at present may not
be able to understand. "No chastise-
inent for the present seemeth joyous
but grievous, but afterward it worketh
a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory." May God's sustain-
ing grace enable you to bear with meek
resignation, your .heavy bereavement,
and may we all so live that we shall
meet, an unbroken hrotherhood, in the
court above. Signed, on behalf of
council. -G. J. SaEWART, 0. JOHNSTON,
W. WEIR.
INWARD AND OUTWARD TRADE. -
The value of dutiable goods imported
at Clinton for consumption during the
fiscal year ended is about the same as
the value of free goods entered here
during the same period. Average rate
of duty on the gross imports is 14 per
••cent.'; on dutiable goods alone about
25 per cent. The value of farm pro-
ducts and manufactures entered here
for export direct to foreign countries
aggregated nearly seventy thousand
dollars. The countries of destination
being England. United States, Ger-
many, Holland and France, England
taking much more than all other
countries combined. Besides these,
exports probably one hundred thousand'
dollars worth of farm paducts, cattle
and manufactures ware sent from
Clinton to England which were in the
first instance consigned to agents in
Montreal and entered there for export
and consequently do not appear in
Custoins books at Clinton. In round
numbers two hundred thousand dollars
worth of Canadian products has been
exported from Clinton during last
year and consequently that amount
of foreign capital has been brought
in and • circulated in this neighbor-
hood.

EIGHT THOUSAND PEO.Pf.E VISIT THE
TOWN.
A GRAND PRO0ESSION ""-GOOD SPEAKING
-THE PRIZE WINNERS.
For sixteen years Seaforth has done
nothing in the way of celebrating the.
Battle of the Boyne, but last Friday
she could lay claim to having one of
the grandest and largest celebrations
ever held in Huron. Preparations
Were
pp
to rnatde for a large crowd, and an
exceedingly large crowd turned out,
berth 'of Orangemen and their friends.
The town presented a magnificent ap-
pearance, being gaily decorated with
arches and huntingg, and all business
places were handsomely decorated.
The citizens went in with energy and
assisted the committee to make it a
success, and no effort was spared to
that end. Early .morning saw the
crowds driving into -town from all
quarters,from and special trains froall
irections brought immense loads.
Everything passed off successfully, the
best, feeling prevailing on all sides, and
everybody in good humor enjoying the
hospitality of the citizens of the town.
At 1 o'clock the procession formed at
Recreation park, and marched through
the main streets to Coleman's hand-
some grove, where the judging of
bands and the speaking was held. The
procession was very long, and was

Then foliowed the speeches. The
chairman was Bro. John Neil, County
Master, South Huron, who called on
Mayor Gray, who, on behalf of- the
town, welcomed the Orangemen. and
hoped itnwould soon be Seaforth's turn
to have thein back again.
Rev. Bro. J. W. Hodgins, Seaforth,
corrected the prevailing error held
by many in reference to the
Orangemen., It was their object
to advance the cause of temper-
ance and morality, and lend as-
sistance to all in need, regardless of
religious denominations or beliefs. It
was not the intention of Orangemen
to insult Roman Catholics, but to pro-
mote good feeling among all citizens.
Rev. Mr. Bond dealt with the Mani-
toba school question as it affected the
Orangemen and all Protestants, and
called upon all to stand up for the
religious and civil rights of the people
of Manitoba, and to resist all endea-
vours of Rome to force Separate
schools upon the- people of that pro-
vince.
Dr. Bro. J. S. Freeborn, of Clinton,
followed and made a telling address.
He dealt with the rise, progress and
federation of Orangeisin ; the qualifica-
tion for membership, and the elevating
tendency of the whole teaching of the
Order.
Rev. Bro. Stout, of Clinton, county
chaplain, made a strong plea to all
Protestants. Rome had professed to
have been reformed, hut her actions
had proved differently. It Was the
object of Orangemen to free the coun-
try from the tyranny which the Pope
and the,Church desired.
Other speakers were Dr. McDonald,
Seaforth, and the Rev. Mr. Armstrong,
Bayfleld. The day's proceedings dos-
ed by the playing of "God Save the
Queen."
NOTES.
To the success of the demonstration
much credit is due Bro. R. Scarlett,
who was untiring in his efforts for
weeks previous. As County'1). of C.
he was also a great success.
The procession would not have been
complete without the familiar form of
P. C. M. John Scarlett on his charger.
The committee and citizens of Sea -
forth, including their worthy Mayor,
are to be congratulated.
The arches and decorations were on
an extensive scale. The mottos and
streamers were neat, attractive and
appropriate.
The business men of Seaforth have
demonstrated that the town is all
right.
What a grand reception ! South
Huron will surely go to Seaforth again
ere many years roll by.
A move sober, orderly or well-behav
ed gathering there could not be.

lanterns being in every direction. Some
of the tables were kept for the sale of

A JUST SENTENCE. -This morning
George Davie, alias A. Lockhart, was
brought before His Honor Judge Doyle
for sentence on a Charge under the
Charlton Act, three of indecen t assault,
one for horse stealing and' one for
stealing a cart and harness. Before
asking for the sentence of the court,
the county attorney called Dr. Hoboes
to testify ars to the prisoner's sanity.
The doctor stated that he had pro-
fessionally examined the prisoner, but
had not discovered any symptortis of
insanity. He alio stated that the pris-
oner had claimed to be mentally weak,
and he agreed with him on that point,
nevertheless considered him responsi-
ble for his actions. The Judge said it
was a great relief to his mind to have
the doctor's testimony as to the pris-
oner's sanity. His Honor spoke at
sotne length on the enormity of the
offence against the Charlton act and
the cases of indecent assault and after-
wards of his gross conduct in the horse
stealing case. He then sentenced
Lockhart to five years in penitentiary
and to receive twenty strokes with the
cat, ten to be administered in the third

LATE LITERARY NEWS.
"0, will he paint nie the way I want,
As bonny as a girlie,
Or will he paint me an ugly tyke,
And be d --d to Mr. Nerli
But still and on and which ever it is,
He is a canty Kerlie.
The Lord protect the hack and neck
Of honest Mr. Nerli."
This,'nne of the last verses ever Writ:
ten by Robert Louis Stevenson, is in
reference to the portrait of himself,
which is given to the public with his
verse for the first time in the July Cos-
mo olitan. The lines might have
come from the pen of Burns, and are
inimitable in their way. The protrai4
was declared by Stevenson himself to
be the best ever painted of him. In
this swine number of The Cosmopolitan
Rudyard Kipling tells an Indian story,
to which Remington adds charming
illustrations ; Mrs. Burton Harrison
makes a serious study of New York
society in "Tire Myth of the Four
Hundred," and Kate Douglat Wiggin
contributes story of one of the most
delightful bf Welsh retreats. The
Cosmopolitan was with this number rel
(laced to ten cents per copy, and as a
consequence, notwithstanding its large
edition, it was "out of print" on the
third day of publication.
