ON MONDAY afternoon Mr. Richard

day, for Ingersoll, and entered upon the
duties of his new position on Monday.
He has the honor of being the youngest
Model School . Principal . in Ontario, and
for onewho has only been at the teaching
profession for about eight years, has fee -
son to feel` proud of the rapidity with
which he has risen to his presentpesiti.on
AHEAD EVERY TIME. :The NEw ;ERA
has always claimed that Clinton takes the
lead as the market of the county, and
though this claim has sometimes been
_disputed, the county-. papers` -.admit --the
truth of our contention by their market
reports. Last week the -highest quotation
for fall wheat at 'Goderieb, was $1.22,
while at Clinton it was quoted at $1.28,
A difference of 6 cents a bushel is a
t pretty good item.
N. H. T. A.—The regular semi-annual
f eeting of the North Huron Teachers'-
5sociation, will be held in .the Central
l; Ohool, Brussels, on Thursday and Fri
ay, May 25th and 26th; on the evening
of Thursday, a public address will be de-,
'livered in the town hall, -by Chas. Clark
son, Esq., B. A., President of the Asaoeia
`t tion.: Subject, Longfellow."; The .pro-
gramme embraces a number efsubjeicts' of
special interest to th`e pprofession„and their
discussion will assuredly:;be beneficial.
THE NEw ERA, bound to keep, the peo-
ple informed as to nearly all sections of
country, has a reporter travelling, in Mani-
toba, lately published.. a number of in-
teresting original letters on the Sunny
South, and this week gives another, also
a very able and graphically written letter
on a trip to Colorado. North, South and
West are thus represented, andthe letters,
wribten specially for the NEw Era, and
which we expect to- be continued, cannot
fail to be instructive and interesting: -
LOST ON TILE PRAIRIE.—A few days
since, Mr. James Correll, (son of -111r. A.
Gorrell, of Clinton,) had a"narrow escape
frofn being frozen to death, during one rd'
the late blizzards in Manitoba. He .went
rwo Crystal City, three miles distant, and

the best out ports in theProv'ince. Goods.
are frequently passed through here for all
parts of the county far -removed from
Clinton, and as it becomes'more generally
known that -the -office is in existence here,
the business will be much larger. The
returns made by Mr. • Armstrong, vary.
from $80 a week up to nearly $500, the
aggregate business transacted for the past
three months amounting to $1,627, which
represents a very large importation of'
dutiable goods.
A RECENT issue of the Belleville -Daily
Ontario says :-The general good health. .
and immunity from disease that have
prevailed at the Deaf and Dumb Institute
were suddenly and -painfully interrupted
Monday morning. ' On Sunday : George
Hayward, a bright little fellow of seven
years, whose parents reside at • Clinton,
was taken seriously ill with inflammatory.
croup. Dr. Murphy did everything pos-
sible -for the relief of the sufferer,,, -but "to -1
no avail, and Monday morning little,
George was dead. The circumstance
caused much sorrow tri the Institution, as
the deceased lad was a great favorite with
teachers and pupils. His parents, were
notified by telegraph, and replied request
ing the body to 'be sent home by the even-
ing express...At'3 p.m. Rev. J: W. Burke.
heldreligious services of an appropriate
nature in the Institute; Chapel, at which
all the teachers and pupils were present.
The remarks” of the Rev. Gentleman were
iifferpreted to the mutes by Prof.. Coleman,
and made a visible impression upon all.
The SuPerintendent and Prof. Greene
also addressed the pupils with good effect.
There was ,sincere,mourn ing for the sud-
den death of little Geo. Hayward.
RETURN of THE PROnIGALS.—So much
has been printed of the glories of the:north
west, and so many have been tempted to go
there, that it is a relief from . the mono-
;tony to find some with a different tale,
10, unfold." Last week Messrs. James
Thompson, D. McCorvie;and W. S. Har-
land, returned from that section of the
country, and as the two latter had gone
up with the intention of remaining, their
opinion is,. at least, worth. considering.
Both are emphatic in declaringthat.the
long viiinters will .be a serious rawback
to the future development ofthe" country;
and",afiirm that, -contrary to general re-
ports the weather there is as changeable
as in Ontario, this winter at least. ' The
difficulties with which settlers will have
