FLORni& ON WHrier,s- Agood many
ppersons visittd the car- "Florida on
'Wheels” at the' station on Tuesday.
The car, which is sent out under the
attspicerr of the State Department,of
Agriculture, has been all over the
States, and is now doing ,the Grand
Trunk .system in Canada, the be-
ing to advertise the State and its pro-
diets from one end of the continent to
the other. The exhibit of State pro-
ducts inside the car is a decidedly•in-
teresting one. There: are.. oranges of
all .shapes and sizes, from a pigeon's
egg -to .a•mangle wartzel; grapefruit,
pane-applee, pears Florida olives, pom-
egranates,'bmee, cucumbers .20. inches
long acid full of cholera morbusat that;
Loquat plums, as yellow as an egg yolk;.
sappadiloes, wind of .apple; sugar ap-
ples; Spanish squash, ' anew white and
the size of a large pear; cocoanuts, with
the outer husks on tWo inches thick,
eta .There -are glass jars filled with the
various:products of the •, cassava root,
Florida tar and turpentine, rice meal,
Guava jelly, Florida resin, tamarinds,
marma ades and bellies; and a huge jar
full of orange wine, :which looks allur-
ingly, capable of producing a glorious

is a, stuffed alligator, and a beautiful
stuffed specimen of a Florida tarpon,
which in life weighed 145 lbs., and was
caught by some lucky an ler A-latr t..
bite. There aretplaurtintier curios, in-
cluding a.eo pte of iive-alligators, un-
aigqly'-looking brutes, the largest some
8 feet long, and the other smaller; they
•ate=not large specimens of their kind by
any means, and have been asleep since
October last, and will wake up next
May; they usually take a six months
snooze during these months. Notwith-
standing the attractiveness of the car,
there are many things about Florida
which take off the gilt edge. It is not
an agricultural. state . in the sense in
which we regard agriculture, and .lots
of its "residents would- gladly exchange
some of its •tropical fruits for a good
Canadian apple. .
A SUCCESS. -As usual, the entertain-
ment under the auspices of the, Good
Templars' which was given last Friday
night, was a great success. The hall
was filled to overflowing; .(we'll go to
the town hall next time .) Mayor
Hanes very ably performed the duties
of chairman, and after the -singing of
"Coronation"gave a lively speech. Mise
Hillier,Goderich.then sang -very sweet -
*y that beautiful Scotch ballad "Loch
Lomond." A quartette "Merrily" by
Misses Miller and- Goodwin, Messrs Me -
Rae and Oakes,which was much apppre-
riated. .A comic reading by Dr..Brdce
in, his usual good style, was much enjoy-
ed. Miss Ida Harland then sang "The
Saloon Must Go;" it is not'necessary to
say that it was well rendered; she will
always have an appreciative audienee.
Miss Gill delighted her hearers with a
recitation "To -morrow at Ten." This
was Mips Gill's first appearance in Clin-
ton as an elocutionist, but we are safe
in saying that it will not be her last.
Mr J. Hoiiston,Principai of the Colleg-
iate, then gave a speech Which was
"short and sweet;'' his speeches are al-
ways the latter. - An 'instrumental
qquartette by Messrs Geo,and J.McRae,
Ern Davis, J. Emmerton and, J. Jack
son was heartily a plauded.. 'Mr 0...F.Oakes thensang ""Oh,what a difference
in the morning in his nsual'good style,
and kindly responded tai a very' hearty
encore An intermission of five minutes
was then declared by the Chairman far

which all joined heartily in the singing
of "God•' Save the Queen," and; one o
the beat entertainments the Good
