LOCAL NOTICES.
'HORACE GREELEY'S ' advice . to young
men was to go west.A. A. BENNETT gives the game
advice to both sexes, young or old, in want of Furor
ture, Spring Beds, &c., and to stop two doors west of
t8e Commercial Hotel, sign of the Big Rocker, and
then procure a big bargain.
DR, $TEWART, of Brueefield, is now in
Vienna, vigorously proseeuting his medi-
cal studies, chiefly an the various branches
of surgery.
MR. JNO. P..MMARTIN' has been placed
in charge of the estate of the late firm of
-Glasgow, Macpherson & Co., and will de-
vote his whole attention to the winding
up of the same. -
°' CoNTINU,gs-ori.—Although itwas in-
timated in theamalgamationof the rail
Toads, that all : town agencies would be
dispensed with, the • Grand Trunk have
expressed their intention of keeping open.
the agency here, and have signified their.
intention,of•retainingMr Jas. Thompson
as their agent, who will; therefore, trans
set -business -as heretofore.
GOING WEST.—Mr. John R. Steep, (of
this town) for the past year teacher at
Benmiller and re-engaged for next year,'.
Las decided on leaving his present occu-
pation and ' will accept a more lucrative
position -as book -_keeper -ins, large -house -
in Winnipeg. He has been a most suc-
cessful teacher,
uccessful'teacher, and will'undoutedly suc-
ceed well in the • west,. as he combines;
therougb,.integrity of character with de-
termination and energy. `.
JUaT As GOOD • FIERE.-A St. Thomas.
paper boasts of the "sale of a farm- close to
that city, at;$100 acre, and calls attention;
to the price as something unusual.. There
area number of farins .in the neighbor-
hood of this town that would bring $100
an acre every day in the week, it their:.
owners i5ere only willing to dispose of
them. Land near a city should be more
valuable than land near a town, but the
land near here is evidently just as valu-
able .as that near some cities. ,
HORSE NOTES. Messrs, Ratteribury;
and Mooney shipped a car .load of fine
horses this week. Messrs. Dow, & Col-
quboun of Hibbert, have lost their heavy:,
imported: draught stallion, "Banker,
which they recentlypurchased of Mr. H.
Beadle,'fullett 'lhe loss is at least $2,-
000, and as this is the second animal of the
kind that died with these gentlemen with-
in a year, the blow is -a serious _one. _ Mr.
Davis, of Michigan, evidently admires the-
horses
hehorses of this neighborhood, as he is now
bnying his fourth consignment here."
CATTLE,—During the past summer Mr.
W. Craig has been, dealing pretty, heavily
in cattle, sheep, &e., and is regarded as
one of the most extensive buyers in this
neighborhood. Since the 1st of April last
he has handled• an average of fifty head
y• of cattle every week; :exclusive -of other
stock that he has dealt in. Putting the
average price ;of these :at $35 a head,
which is a low average,,`, it will be . seen
that he has distributed among' the farmers
of this neighborhood nearly two thous-
and dollars every, week 'since, that, time,
Not a bad suis Thr one individual, by any
means.
MEAT DisPL,AY.—Our town butchers,
with that enterprise which has given them
an extensive; reputation, are making ar-
rangements for their usual Christmas dis-
ploy, and we are only stating what every-
body knows, when we say that the display
will be unsurpassed anywhere.
RINGING, THE BELL.— On' Monday
evening a boy named' George Kitt was ar-
rested by Constable Paisley, on a charge
of giving a false alarm of fire, by ringing
the town bell. After a couple of hours
spent in the "Cooler" he was brought be-
fore the Mayor, who only fined him ';$1:'
and costs,or 5 days in jail,in consequence of
his age; the; by-law imposes a penalty~ of.
$20 and costs for this offence, and boys:
must remember that they will be liable
for this amount if the offence is repeated.
by anyone.
PRINTER'S .INK.—The are some people
who think there is no virtue in the use of
printer's ink, but such are not the well
.known business men of this town, Messrs.
T. and W. Jackson, who have made their
several establishments known far and
wide by this means. In this week's NEW.
ERA. they occupy no less than 14 columns
—or nearly 2.i pages—in making their
announcements to the public;' and, not-
withstanding the great expense therefor,
they believe -the. -outlay well 1f»ll.
paid:' Advertising pays, and no one:
knows it better than those who fulls avail
themselves of its advantages. •
IT WAS NOT .A.BURGLAP —Recently one
of our most popular `business . men woke
np in the middle of the night,- under the
impression that burglars were -drilling in-
to the -safe, as he heard ;a noise like '-it:-.
Partially dressing -hinself,- he opened': a'
door and listened, when the noise stopped.
For a neaciaierof minutes he stood shiver-.
ing there in the cold when the noise Was
resumed and 'he became' satisfied •that,
burglars were trying ' to .relieve hila of his
wealth:- `Proceeding': to investigate, he
found', that a rat .was gnawing . through J'a
board,which.was the cause of the noise.
ENTERTAINMENTS. --.—The people of this
place' are not likely to. suffer from a lack
of entertainfnents.for some time to come:
To -night and Saturday; there is'a ministrel
performance in the hall.' Next -Tuesday

fell or jumped from the • train near Lime
house; (two stations this side, of George-

WI AT TE -E PEOPLE ARE SAYING.—
That the. " We" who helped to issue last.

fort. ,' That .if freight rates keep going up •.
there.. will be a pretty loud howl ..from the;
public. That many of the farmers - of

be made the -county, town.. That there.
will be a contest for the positions of Reeve.
and :Deputy, That . there won't be any
.contest. for these- enviable (?) positions.
That even ahalf-sheet' of the NEw ERA
is better than a whole.sheet of some other
papers.. That if the stories- of fabulous
wealth fnade' in . the ; northwest be true,
some'. of our young :men should return
millionaries.. That all who clean. or their
sidewalks confer a favor on the public.
That the number of male children born
in Clinon- this year, will considerably
exceed the,:felnales.
