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. as. d page, IIaE or REFUGE NOTES. -Mon - caused the first long stop - works since the start, just as Contractor S.

Howe Visited Clinton, the Maa+or and Chief /, , refu to sound a false fire alarm. Sonurneoplai along With Mr. Howe, thought the request should have been granted. We 'have had no reason to Strange .our opinion that the refusal was well founded. There is no reason 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 11 o'clt)ck on Saturday night the fire hell rang out its alarming note.

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.

Several parties are likely to be brought before the Mayor for cruelty to that noble animal, the dog. They should be given a dose of their own medicine. • • That unfortunate who described, in last week's Nev; Era, a visit to Bayfleld and a sail on the lake could not have beeh in greater agony than the un- fortunates who read his epistle and witnessed bis diabolical actions in the penister's seat and his murderous Italian assault on the Queen's English.

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 made up by the following lodges :- Marshal Robt. Scarlett; Lady True Blues in carriages; Walton No. 16; Winthrop No. 21; Colborne No. 35; Seaforth brass band; carriages con-. taining speakers; Ribbert No. 272; Mitchell No. 335; Logan No: 908; Sea - forth No. 1,450; Auburn brass band; Auburn No. 932; Walton No. 252; Sun- shine No. 459; Londesboro' No. 863; Bayfield Young Bigtons No. 24; Hills - 'green No. 308; Hensall No. 733; Goshen No. 833; Varna No. 1,035; F.

Biddulph. 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. • Detective Geyer, df Philadelphia and Detective Caddy, of Toro>ito on Mon- day found Ole bodies of two 'girls buried in the cellar of 16 St. Vincent street, Toronto. The bodies were iden- tified aa those of Etta Alice and Nellie Pitetel,.who are supposed to have been murdered by one Holrnes, at present in custody in Philadelphia, charged with murdering the father of the Pitezels for the sake of insurance phoney. 1 A. 11.

Some of the tables were kept for the sale of fancy work. others for flowers, but the larger number were 'used ,for serving refreshments. When darkness had set in, the picture was a brilliant one, the variegated lamps reflecting their colors on more than one hundred of the hest dressed and prettiest women any town in Canada can produce. The fancy goods tables were nicely stocked and fairly well patronized, and those used for refreshments were occupied the whole evening. The town band played a very nice programme, the music being considerably ahead cf what was expected on a second public appearance. It would not do to close without noting the efficiency of the lady members of the Guild, everything being done in a manner that i eflected credit on all connected with the gar- den party. -Dally Signal. 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 year of imprisonment and ten in the fifth. On the three charges of indecent assault the sentence was one year for each, and for the horse -stealing and theft of cart and harness, the prisoner, in the name of Geo. Davie got three years on each, the whole of the sen- tences to run concur rently.-Daily Signal. PROMOTION Exams. -Following is the list of candidates at the Collegiate Institute exams.

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.
