SHOULD BE MORE INTEREST.— Cricket is looked upon as a gentleman- ly game, and it is. People are sur- prised that the local Club should have such difficulty in securing an Umpire. For the game between Clinton and Waterloo last Friday no less than twenty were asked to act as umpire. Every one refused, but finally a spec- tator consented to act. This is not as it should be. Our cricketers should be encouraged. Local sports advertise a town and all these commendable or- ganizations should be encouraged. FLORAL EXHIBITION.—Tho Clinton Horticultural Society will hold its first exhibition in the Agricultural Hall here on Aug. 25, 28 and 27. The hand will be in .

However, while we wish the Sthat o f this everr leto rule suy- ive might add be adopted and carried out such a worthy institution as the Horticultural Society is almost certain to not meetwith the ,success it deserves. BREAKS THE RECORD.—The other day Mr. Thomas Britton showed us a 12 -inch branch from a plum tree con- taining no less than 38 well matured Beauties. The yield this year is ex- eeedingly abundant. Mr. Britton's sample is one of the best we have seen. VEGETABLE PEACH.—The other day Mr. S. J. Andrews, town, showed THE Nuawe-REcoltD a vegetable peach grown in his garden. It is yellew in color, the skin rough, the meat white, and the flavor like that of a musk melon. Several callers pronounced the vegetable a mock orange, while others gave it almost every name except the proper one. The vegetable p eis ggrroown from seed procured from the cur States, and grows on a vine similar to tomatoes. ON A. WHEELING TOUR.—Mr. J. T. Reeve, estate and financial broker, Toronto, is on a wheeling tour. He has taken in and onuntry as far as the Thu Thursday reached Forest City Clinton on the return journey.

This will be a splendid chance for our citizens who take an interest in Mr. Doherty's busi- ness to see how organs are made, in- cluding keys, actionsAtuning,hand pol- ishing, etc., etc. We are sure it will he very interesting to have the whole matter explained by those who know the business. It will give our people a chance to see what an immense busi- ness we have in our Doherty Organ Factory. Besides the Band, there will he other musical attractions. The shops will be opened until 0:30. The Ontario St. choir will be in attendance and perhaps the choir and orchestra from the Goderich North Street Metho- dist and country are respectfully r intown vited. Ova "FAT" TIME.—The general pub- lic have long since come to the oe a conclu- sion that editors of newspapers "fat" time. This may be true, but speaking Onthe edfacts reverse. feditors in Huron we O do not know many of them to be supremely happy, contented or fleshy looking, except probably the editor of the Blyth Standard who was married a few days ago. Think of their un- paid subscriptions, day and night work and is it any wonder? Take the Mayor of Clinton as an example—agen- tleman living in luxury and the Chief Magistrate of a progressive town—lean and lanky and poorly fed from out- ward appearances, and still he enjoys a good meal and the delicacies of the season --as palatably as the best of us hungry mortals, hut he fails to put on flesh. Then there is Dan.

Although c eines, ned out of this country some years American money, particularly silver, again secured a big circulation here, Yankee business men and monetary institutions have never been asliberal toward its. Only Inst year incident n hforcibly illustrates fact occurred.WJJ Parkhill, (an extensive lumber merchant), a delegate from Midland to the Grand Orange Lodge of B.

This particular inci- dent goes toshow beow Ci nadin an Unney is treated in g t States, while it is ail undisputed f worth that American money nearly as tnuch as Canadian. It is not to be wondered at, then, that our banks and postoffiees have decided hereafter ar. 'not Ptveoy per Centept . discican ount money heatreafter veal be well be the rule. This is considerately more than American silver is worth. The sooner our readers realize that a dollar of.
