Kitt very; narrowly escaped being; Inn over by passing between two` teams on the street; it was only by catching hold ofthe ''tongue of one of the vehicles, that he sav- ed his life. ' CAPT. SHEPPARD, and those who went with hind at the same time;'to the north- west, were storm -stayed beyond St. Paul for a short time ; their provisions gave out; but fortunately •they ' were nearenough to a town to procure: afresh supply, PROPERTY. CHANGES.—Mr. G. Pickett has sold ten acres on the Base, Line, Hal- lett, (a short distance from town) to' Mr. J. Butt, for $1,000'. Mr. Butt intends to erecta .house' on it, and wilt move thereto, his son Ephraim taking the farm., WILLIAM JosLIN, (son of Mr. J. Jos - lin) who went to -Winnipeg.:a couple of weeks since, writes home. that "hundreds of men are walking the streets of that city, baying nothing to do, 'himself among the number, and not sufficient means to bring them_ back." THE HIGIi ScHooL Literary Society last Friday discussed the subject: "Which has done the most good for man, Steam or the Press." Mr. Turnbull oceupied;'the, chair:; some good arguments were 4dvane-, ed; on both sides, but the Press carried: the • day. PHILARIAQNIC SOCIETY. - This week Misses Jackson, and Davis canvassed the town f r bubscribers to.the Phila-rmonic- Society, and succeeded in getting "a good number of active and honorary , members. The socieetymeets every Thursday night, and bids fair to become a permanent in- stitution. WILL some one explain why it is that • in nearly all the grocery stores In town a number of masculinescongregate nightly to discuss, the various topics of the day ? why don't 'they assemble in dry goods stores inthe .same way? is it 'bedause:'re- freshments are so convenient in the one and not in the, other, or why is it ? Fon MANITOBA,—On Monday, Mes'srr. D. and R: Callander, and J. Livingstone, of ]3rucefield, Warren,' Harvey and . Mrs. -R. Callander,' of Clinton, left by' G. T. R., for the northwest.; the latter does not, in- tendto remain. Several cars are also, loading at the G. T. R. station with stock, for Dakota and Manitoba, and will be ac- companied by a large. number' of persons mainly frons.•,4 oderich township, to -mor- row. On Tuesday a..gathering of ,a- large number of parties who intend to make a move -for -the northwest tookplace -ill the rpom`over the Old Curiosity Sh'op,-fox the purpose of completing arrangements with each other and the,rai.1way authorities, to make the trip more comfortable and con- venient, The -railways Were represented lay half-a;d en agents, and the intending; emigrants present spoke for six or seven f eight ears which .they intendedto fill . he party }will leave this town on the '16th inst,, at 1.0 a;rn, There is no doubt lout what manyrn-ioe wili join this company, 'We believe they finally, seleclied'tlie Ci.

McCartney, in the planing mill, and, with 111r. J. Scott, will continue to carry on the same. The retiring members of the firm have the Manitoba fever. Messrs. Scott & Stevens have 'a good business, anel like their predecessors, being -practical. men, should Push the business' for all it is worth. OBITHAi.Y.--Died, in Exeter, on the lst inst., Rev. Wm. Hooper. He was superannuated at the last Bible Christian; Conference, and has been ailing more or less from that time till his .death He was for several year's 'chairman of this district, and just previous to -his superan- nuation was stationed at St. Thomas, and previous to that was four years in Mitchell. He was widely known, and. his death will be generally regretted, • THE recurrent frost followed by thaw- ing, with the small quantity of snow this winter, has had a " very injurious effect upon the fall wheat,and there appears to begood reasons for .fearing a small crop, of fall wheat. There is,;also somei'grounds for fearing injury to it from tfie)hessian fly. It is a long time from the present to the time when growth generally commen- ces, and as it is,.very open weather now the chances are that wheat will have hard usage before it gets through wintry weather REMOVALS. - Messrs. Craib, Macwhir ter & Co: have removed to the corner store in the Coats' block; 'directly :opposite ' their old stand. They certainly :,have a very fine store, one that would be a decid- ed credit to places of much greater pre- tensions than Clinton. The premises va- cated by them have been leased by Mr. C. Dickson, bookseller,- who is somewhat crowded for room in his present stand, and he will move his stock down to this end of the town this week. WHAT THE PEOPLE .ARE SAYING.— That when the assessors get. through,' Clinton will befound to haveheld'itsown better than any other town in the' county: That a new blockon the south corner of Rattenbury and,Albert Streets should be erected. That^many of those who go to Manitoba to hire out,will wish they hadn't. That they would„lil;re to see a big celebra- tion here on'the 24th •of May. That the`. streets are in "an awful muddy condition.” That Clinton should be, the County town at a"n early day., as hereis the hub of the °aunty both teriito,rily and for business., FRoai AFAR,—On Friday last Messrs. Corbett & Boles, of this town received a letter from a merchant at -Prince :;Albert,: nearly 800 miles west of Winnipeg,grz-ask- f r in for information in reference s enc e to certain in articles, of their manufacture. He stated.. that he had seen an announcement'in the NEW -,ERA, that they were about; erecting a new factory, which';was the cause of his writing to them. They also received an order from a Queoec.firm fora quantity of goods. This shows the benefit of, making. announcements in a ,: widely -circulated journal • SOAP PEDDLERS. --,On Saturday after- , a couple of these gentry reaped . good harvest on -the market ground, num- bering . their, victims by • the score. .Oiie person who had managed to resist' temp- tation all morning, was roped in at .noon to the tune of $4, and ;..others for like amounts.. Until people learn, 'that '.they cannot possibly beat -these Hien at their, own game,:it is very little use trying to show ;them thefolly of investing with them. We believe. that. at the:next meet ing'of Council, the prevention of these. swindlers working our town is to .be' broughtup, andaction' taken .therein,, , The;Clinton.NEW. Em& says: "Several" parties in Seaforth and Goderich..:have ex pressed the wish' that their property was in Clinton instead' of where it is, then it;. would lbe worth something. In reference to Seaforth we -don't believe a word•:of it, ; andunless the :parties names are forth coming the NE'•ERA will -have to stand corrected. It is evident that some person has been ". taffying up" our .venerable friend.—Seaforth Sun. The NEw'ERA's:, statement AS far as Seaforth is concerned, is absolutely correct, and one of the. largest.property holders in that place, is our authority for the statement—the Sun's assertion notwithstanding. .. Last week a county Conaervative loaner published an extract from ..Mr. Platt's speech, delivered at one of the late eon - v ntio'ns, asserting that nails in 1878 were $6:50 ' and $7 per cwt. `but now, through the operations of the N.P. they were only $3_ The'fact thathe uttered such a fable - hood. is proof that he believed that some, ofhis:supporters-were so strongly partizan, and ignorant that_they_eeould swallow it without a thought "about it. Ne any commonsense person knows that the jeet of the N. P. is to raise prices for the benefit of the manufacturer, or else what good is it:? and everybody knows;wellthat nails were not that,: price, 'in fact,. there is lout little differende in: them,: between that time and now..
