11Ir. John Taylor, of this town, 'has a
cow that gives 32 lbs. of milk at each

his one that can go any better?
',HARtLAND ]3itos. have`rented the pre-
tripises lately occupied by the Old Curiosi=
rt k\'y Shop, and will carry on therein a ',gen-
eral Stove and hardware business.
RECENTLY i'llr. John Shipley bought a
young teach at: 260.. One of these he re-
sold at $190 and the other, a two'year old
filly, at $150, thus clearing in a short time

A soMEwfrAr :lengthy , and animated
meeting-. of the High• School, board of
trustees was held on Wednesday evening
last, but the only business transacted was -
the passing.of a couple of accounts.

country, who ryas looking for a farm, in-
formed us last week that the Borons c
section impressed him afore favgrab{y t n
any other part of Ontario. •. 'That's the eon-
clnsion most people arrive at.
Oaa Ftt'iDe.Y last Mr, B, Webb was en-
gaged in burning up some rubbish that
nn.
he had removed from a house, tube
explosion occurred, which nearly 1:nock'ed
him over. It seems that aurong .the'rub-

StAtolt't14 is coi,tinually boasting. of
its improvements, progress, etc., but the
sidewalks of Main street are so defective,
that a lady of that town nearly 'broke her
leg thereby the other day, ; although only
hericat thereon., . At least so she -:inform=
ed a resident of this town.

FARM SOLD. -Tire property known as`,
the Wadefarm, in'Colborne,,• heldby the
Molsons Band of this place, has, been -sold
to Mr. Robert Stewart, of .Colborne, for
the sum of $6,000 'cash. It -contains .165'
acres and is considered . a very good farm,
so, that Mr. Stewart has secured a.bargain.:
fHE county;papers evidently,regard•the
NEW ERA as a good:. sheet from which to
extract items of interest,; one of them tak-
ing from our last week's issue: a. whole
column of township items;, without a word
of credit. We aceept this signal .appre=::
ciation with becoming modesty,
WHEN last -heard, from 'Mr. D:R. Men -
es, of this town,.was atMinnedosa, about
40miles north of Brandon; he purposed.
going farther west, but glias no intention
of remaining.. While he likes Ontario as
a place of residence, the northwest, he be-
lieves, offers inducementscfor speculation
not found here.
MR. DUNLOP Was in town last week de-
livering parts 7 and 8 of the beautiful
work'`Pieturesque-Canada.' All whom We
have: heard speak very highly of 'the work,
notwithstanding the fact that itis some-
what expensive,' which is not to be won-
dered at, when the,quality of the engrav-'
ings, paper, letter press, &c.,,rs.taken into.
consideration.
-Wnrr:tRAtv�--Soe time 'ago an in
formation was laid against "big" John Me-,
.Lerman of Goderich township, on a charge
of assault. As he could not be found, the
eubpcena could not be. Served until a few
day's since, and in response' thereto, he
appeared before the i\fayor, on Friday.
As the prosecutor was:,willing.to .settle the
case, it was withdrawn on John paying
all costs.

need not be assured that they were good

ddividual sales that has taken place in this:'
county, while the price, we believe, is the•

Mc. \Vri.i, \Vurrr , late of this town,
..
appears to be well pleased ;.with Winnipeg,
as he has written for his -family to join
him. He writes vei-y .favorably' 'of the
prospects there, and appears to, think•that
those who are returning. and "speaking
against the place, -arrived at their conclu=
cions too hastily.' We h+ pe WiIl is not
.more sanguine than the' circumstances
warrant, and that his greatest anticipa
tions will be -fully realized..
t)atr•, day last week a youth uatned Bap-
ty, oi` somewhat unsteady habits; who had
been in the einploy of Newton &Dennis,
took advantage of the: absence of kr..
Netvton, stole a valise froth 'the shop, an d
decamped ; it is supposed •that' he, first
flied the valise with articles .fora the
shop, but there is no prdof of this, other
than that the valise appeared heavy. As
the fellow left his tools: behind, the firm.
May not be very much out. •
THERE is some talk of a, pork factory
being established here, a couple of per,
sons being in town last week. in the inter=
cst of such a establishment, ..There
better opening in Ontario fina a factory of
this kind than in Clinton, as we have in
'the immediate neighborhood the essentials.
for the proper working- of an establish-
anent of this kind—plenty of pork and
salt—awhile the convenience of rail corn,'
munication to all parts is unexcelled by.
any place.
Some of our local talent have been en-
gaged to take part•in a concert In Blyth
on the 1st of July.
THE town of Clinton: has given Mr. M.
C. Cameron a majority every time he ran.
Let the majority on. _,Tune 20 be the largest
he ever got.
The services! of 11r. F. Bond, the well
knownconcertina player,; have: been,
secured for Mr. 111.orgau's concert, on the
12th of July, every effort is being put
forward to make this concert a grand suc-
cess..
A THIEF Qur.CICLY CAPTURED. - On
Saturday a young man named Poulton
stole a watch and chainfrom the. vest
pocket of -one of the:boarders at McLaren's
Hotel. .Information was-laidagainst him -
and a warrantfor his arrest placed in the
hands of Constable Paisley, who tracked
him to Goderich and ' arrested him, He
stoatly ,affirmed his imiocence,but a•search
of his person disclosed the missing articles.
He was accordingly brought -back, and
tried before the Mayor, who Committed
hiin .to jail to stand a trial.
ONE morning—last \veek Mr. Jos. ABM-
eon was engaged in. plowing along the
side of the G-. T. track when the 8 o'clock
train :came along. Ile thought his horses
would not be frightened, but he' neverthe—
less unhitched and held them until- the
train came along. • He would have held
them longer, but he couldn't, and as they
boltedclown the track he began to think
i.t. was a case of gone horses. However
instead of crossing the track in front of
'the locamotive,'as they appeared bent on
doing, they turned toward the fence, one.'
being thrown down, and thus preventing
what thieatenecl to he a serious accident.
SPEAKING about .the i\Ianitoba fever
the other day, one of the oldest residents
of thishtown, whose word is as good as his
bond, stated that while residing in Teron-
to nearly fifty years ago, a person whom
he knew volunteered his services with
L' rdSelkirk'and hent out to, the north-
wtst, but becoming disgusted' therewith;,
he deserted and returned to Toronto, hav-
ing made the;whole distance on foot, with
the exception of where rivers_had to be
crossed. People who can go to Manitoba
in four days now, have no' idea of what
such a journey, 50 years ago; on foot
would be. The man subsequently died in.
Toronto, „t the residence of the late _An-
drew 'Mercer.
