MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM INSTANT DRATH.—While holidaying at Goderich Master Lorne C. Todd, the ten -year-old son of the editor of this paper, learned to ride a bicycle. On Thursday even- ing he had a pleasant spin on the park track in Clinton and at 8 p. m. was re- turning to the Onward Bicycle Livery and narrowly escaped instant death. A buggy was ahead of him which no doubt had attracted his attention. The ritt.te wheelman turned at Hodgen's orner, while the buggy continued along Albert street. On the crossing ae ran square into Mr. McCorvie s driver. The animal reared and leaped over the lad and bike along with the buggy. The writer happened to be on the street near by and picked up the prostrate child before he knew who was injured, ancarried him into pr. Shaw's office.t only serious injury was a deep cut over the left eye. The wound was dressed and sewed up and the youngster is around as usual. The e..scape from instant death was indeed Providential. The bike was not much damaged, due probably to the fact that the Onward 'Cycle Co. handle the un- breakable kind.

The Clinton .hr'ass baled has been engaged for the occasion. THE HUM.—There is daily great ac- tivity around the store and warerooms of Cantelon Bros. At times the rush is so great that the street is pretty well blocked up with vehicles. The yield of fruit this year is very large. Notwith- standing this the tires have been able to find a market for and handle all the choice fruit they could get. The loca- tion of such a, firm in Clintqu is of great benefit to both town and country. RUN OVER.—On Monday morning Mr. Walter Coats bad a narrow escape from serious injury. He had delivered from Cooper Bros. factory, a load of material for the improvements to Har- land Pros.' store. On the return trip, at the corner of Albert and Batten - bury streets, Mr. Coats lost his balance and one wheel passed over his body. The injury was so slight that he was able to continue work. ANOTHERBUSINESS.—Mesere. Broad - foot & Box, furniture manufacturers of Seaforth, have purchased from Messrs. Menzies and Whiting the store next Harland Bros.,Alhert street north. The contract has been let to Cooper Bros. for overhauling and refitting the pre- mises. In addition to this a fine new plate front will be put in. The flrm will engage in the retail furniture busi- ness and expect to be open to the gen- eral public in time for the Fall Show. The Brick Block is fast becoming one of the most attractive in town. To FAR AWAY CEYLON.—After pass- ing a most creditable examination and becoming a member of the medical profession, Dr. Mary Irwin, town (one of the youngest, female doctors in the Dominion).procceded to New York to further pursue her studies. This ac- complished, she has returned to spend a few days with her parents and friends here previous to leaving for far-off Ceylon where she will engage in active missionary work. Her many friends will wish the Doctor God -speed in such a self-sacrificing work and every possible success. May she be spared to fulfil such an import- ant mission and a safe return. RUNAWAY.—On Monday afternoon a horse being driven by Mr. John But - chart, of the 2ntt concession of Stanley, took fright near Tedford's blacksmith shop on Rattenbury street. Mr. Butch - art, who is 78 years of age, was forcibly thrown out on the road. Two ribs were broken, a cut inflicted on the upper part and toward the back of the head, as well as several bruises and a general shaking up. The rig was con- siderably damaged, while the horse es- caped without much injury. A short time after the accident—as soon as Dr. Shaw had looked after the wants of the injured man, who had been carried to the home of Mr. H. W. Cook—Mr. Tedford conveyed Mr. Butchart to his home in Stanley. It is to be hoped the injury will not prove serious. ADVANTAGE OF PLATE GLASS.— Many people are at a loss to know the advantage of plate glass fronts. Throughout the Dominion these fronts are coming into general use. They are pleasing to the eye and show goods to advantage to passers hy. In addition the plate front is of great advantage and convenience to those inside the building. For instance, to show the attraction of plate glass, all one has to do is to view Harland Bros. present plate front from the south in front of Cooper's grocery shout noon, and you will secure a good view of King's bakery, Cantleon Bros.' store, Cook's teed store, Miller';r blacksmith shop, James Ross' clock sign, and Mr. Todd's Tesidhnce. The signs and lettering are as plain as though you were within a few feet of them, which goes to show that plate glass fronts have many advantages. JOINED IN WEDLOCK.—One of those vents which causes a flutter of excite- ment in social circles transpired at the home of inspector Paisley, at high noon on Wednesday, Aug. 2(]t.h, when his second daughter, Miss Marie E., was ,joined in marriage to Prof .

Stew- art, pastor of Willis (Presbyterian) Church, after which the company sat down to a sumptuous dinner, at which the toast of the bride was proposed by the officiating minister' and respon- ded to in a very neat manner by the groom.
