STREET LAMPS.—The Committee to whom this matter wa eferred have_de-' cided to erect -about twelve street lamps, to be placed at what may be considered the most convenient points in the central ' portions of the town. They have estimat- t) ed their cost and find it will, not- be, so' great as at first anticipated, and will :pre-. sent a report at the next meeting of Coun- cil recommendinrtheir erection at places to be named in the report. A MARRIAGE ASSOCIATION.—lt is said that the unmarried .young men of town intend to form an association that shall be calculated to promote marriage. The principle upon which it is to be worked is that Oa the marriage of one of the members, ail- the others; contribute from $1 to $5, as'may be decided upon, • to go towards housekeeping. They should hurry- and get the association formed, or it will be of no benefit to several of our young men whom Dame Rumor says are -shortly_ to "double up.".

C. BIBLE SOCIETY.—From the ';an- nual report of this Society, for the year ending March last, we find the Clinton Branch is in a healthy" and flourishing condition.

OPENING. -Messrs Crain, Mlacwhirter & ` Co announce their.: fall opening of Millinery' Goods for, the 7th;`of October, These special openings have be -- come a feature of business that people an- xiously look for, and as this firm always Make a superb display,' we may safely pre- sume that their exhibit this 'season mill be •equal to that of any 'previous one, and: well worthy of inspection.. Mr. John Hodgens also announces the opening of his show room for Saturday next , and . it goes without<sayingthat the display; «ill be a credit to the establishment and:one difficult to excel.. •• THE VOLUNTEERS.—On Saturday last. the volunteers returned from their annu- al drill at London. On arrivalof: the special was atClinton, Goderich Coin • pany was escorted, to the Grand Trunk station by the Brussels,band. and Clinton Company. The men were bronzed in app-. pearance, but none the worse ;apparently for their exposure. After the departure of Goderich Company, Clinton's compliment of men marched to the: driil shed where the mueli=appreciated 'ceremony of paying them oft was performed, by ' Capt..Mac- whirter and Lieut.' Ransford; when tike .nen; gave up their arms and dispersed. • PRIZE FARMS.—That Iiurou is "the garden of Canada" has been asserted time and time again, and experience sustains' the assertion. The committee of the Pro- vincial Fair association•offered a number of prizes for the best kept farms, and 'Huron has the honor of taking the .lead, among the many competors from the dif- ferent sections. of Ontario. The highest prize, a gold medal, was awarded Mr..Ias. Dickson, of Tuckersmith, Mr. John • Var- coe, of Colborne, getting 'a_bronze-medal. These gentlemaiiare to be congratulated on their success, and we hope that, on a fu- ture occasion, there will be more entries from this county, feeling convinced, that if there were, there would bemore prizes - . -fall tothe-16tthe-cotinty . - ECIInNiCS' INSTI'TUTE. — A special m ting., of the directors of the Mechanics' Institute was held on Monday evening to consider the propriety of purchasing Ap- pleton's American Encyclopredia for the Library; while the immense Value of the work was conceded, it was deemed inad- visable to expend so much money on a single work as would be necessary for its purchase. The book cornmitteeil-ofthe Institute have made a large selection of new works, Which, are to be purchased at once, and the possession,of which will add to the attractiveness of the Institute. Strenuous efforts arebeing made by the directors to4ilace the Institute in as flour- - ,ishing a condition as it was before being burnt out, and the public should give y ppo• their cordial � s r ort to"the laudable of forts of the directors: Goon PRICE. -At the 'Seaforth Show last Friday, Mr. John McMillan, M. P., sold a sucking foal for the handsome sum of $195. Tbat's the kind of stock to raise. LAST week Mr.Jas.

Davis, " who has for some time past occupied a leading posi- tion in the organ factory of W. Doherty & Co , leaves next week. He intends to go into the organ business with others at London.. "L. P." is -a " hail-fellow-we1T met" ,a good vocalist, and though quiet and unobtrusive in . his dispositon, has made many friends here who will be sorry, at his removal. However, we wish :him abundant prosperity and recommend him to the " merciful consideration" of the Londoners__ CHARGE of EMBEZZLEMENT. --011 Tues- day;laseMr. J.T. Marsh, of this place, was arrested by Constable Gill, of Exeter, -on a charge of embezzlement, preferred' y Taggart & Cochrane, of St. Thomas. I is examination will come off at Exeter, on Saturday, but it is •more than probable that the case will be dismised, as he was examined before ,Mayor Forrester , on a similar !charge, 'and honorably acquitted. The charge of the St. Thomas company is that he has used funds derived from the sale of machines, that should have been turned over to them, and Mr. Marsh's de- fence is that the company is largely in- debted to n-debted_to him for his services, and as they did not advance ;him the necessary funds for his expenses when in .their employ, he was justified in using some of the money, and giving the company . credit for it. These are the facts of the case as far as we 751-11earn, and it is supposed the -Object -in taking the case to Exeter, is the 'errone- ous supposition of the company •;hat jus- tice wasi not done them here. BRIEFS;—A delightful and much need- ed rain on Thursday night. On Saturday Messrs E. Watson & R. Fitzsimons ship- ped from Blyth two carload of cattle and two of sheep, • representing about $4,000 worth of stock ; they were for. the English market; ;;ithis 'firm has bought a lot -of cat- tle during the year, making regular week- ly shipments ; in three days' drive, Mr.; Fitzsimons bought up 2Q0 lambs " Re- gular meeting of the town council next Monday. During the fair week the NEW ERA used fully 125 lbs. of paper for job printing alone. An English gentleman, who visited the Model school last week, was particularly pleased at the readiness with which the pupils answered questions in English history, and stated that in this branch of study the Canadiansknow more than their English cousins. A greatmany of our townspeople are attending the Western air, at London, this week. If the pages of the Clinton NEW ERA be a criterion, .
