ed before the closing of the school, so' that
scholars will.know to:what division they
are to go on the re -opening of the school.
'CURLING .CLUB.— It has. often :col
-,merited on why that a place=containingso
many sons of Auld. Scotia as Clinton does;
should remainwithout a Curling Club.
We believe it only requires alittle effort
to get, such .an organization into activeop-
eration.' • If.there.were a club and rink
here, we feel sure that other clubs, play:
ing matches, would choose'Clinton-as the
field for their contest.

W., Shipley 1141 just tied his: horse and
cutter in one portion of the driving shed

GA � McDonald, Clerk
et the County Court, spent two days here,
this week, taking evidence in the case of
Doherty vs. Wardell. Of course the ease
wag taken en delibere, for the vdluminotis
notes will require some titne to be gene
over. Mr. Manning .appeared for plain-
tiff, and Mr. proudfoot for• defendant:
Among the eases in the docket for Fri=
day's sitting of the -Division Court is one
as to a newspaper proprietor's •right to
recover a charge for an advertisement
serted but not ordered: Mesta(' the eases
are unimportant, -'
THE WHITTIxGTON AccIDENT —Freak
information concerning the unfortunate'
death of Mr.Whittington has been gained.
Mr. IV, 'Craig' .has been informed by a
news agent, who •saw Mr. W. just before
the •aceident, occurred; that as the train
was passing Limehouse he'saw him stand-
ing on the platform, .valise in hand, and,
• asking )thus where he•was going,. Mr. W.
told him "Georgetown Junction." He
answered " We are not there yet;" Mr:
W. either not hearing hiin, or net under-
standing him, and. supposing, no doubt
that he was past the Junction; jumped
from the train, and,was struck on the side
of the head by the steps of the car behind,
and it believed, instantly 1 i11ed.
AT THE POINT' OP DEATH. — We are,
very sorry indeed to state that, contrary:
to the bright hopes which were entertain-
ed a, few weeks ago, Mr. John Hodgens
has continued sinking,. and now lies at
the point of death, which ism
moentarily
expected. •
•'WELL DONE!—Legitimate business en-
terprise deserves recognition. aywwhere, so
wehave no hesitation in' saying "well
done•!" to T. and W. Jackson, of Clinton,
who occupy 2/.pages of this week's NEW
ERA with their- advertisements. These
are the business men who build up a town
while increasing their own trade.—Gode-
rich 'Star,
WHO ROBBED HIM ?--When Mr Whit-
,
tington, of Clinton, (who inet with such
an unfortunate death near Acton, last
week) left on, his contemplated trip. he.
had $55 sewed inside his vest, and $16 in
loose money in his pocket. When the
body was forwarded to this place, the sum
.of $55 was all that was•aent:with it. Nowv
his friends`would like to know_ what be -
became of the balance of the money. • -
Ax ERROR,--A.,good many' are 'labor_
ing-under the impression that as the mu-
nicipal nominations are this year held on:
Frida�r,�he_22nd in t , the elections :falls •
a week later,' and in fact the bills' have
been issued'; to that effect here, but this is`
a mistake and will be rectified. The' law
only. makes special:provision;for the-OZ
ination falling on a Holiday. Consequent-
ly,; the election will be held on Monday,
January lst.
A BLocxADi:—The tremendous snow
storm on Thursday last played the mis-
chief with the railway. The Goderich'
train got -stuck in a drift less than 'a half
-
a -Mile from, Clinton•station, and it was a
good;while before it was able to pull out.
Several of the trains were cancelled alto-
gether. The evening train on the West
ern, going noitb,'got fast while -passingg
through MrMcAllister's. farm, and tcould
neither go ahead or backout, and 'the be-
lated passengers on board saw h were
in for a night of it. Fortunately they'
had :plenty' offuel oil board, -and with the
aidof_a.Single box...of:biscuits and !soden
cheese, their material wants. were partially.
supplied.. Those who could,, slept, while
a number of ",'commercials enlivened the
" weary watches of the night" bysinging.
Next morning the 'bus managed to ;drive
down. the track, and ,siring them to town.
It was not until near noon on Friday that
thetfain was able. to. get out, even then,
the aid of a snow plow and three engines
being necessary.
•
STREET PiciiiNGs.—In coni ing'out 'of
a store the *other day, a young lady sat.,
down:, on the sidewalk with --a thud that
shook the neighborhood -and. brought all
the clerks to the front door.; unlike a man,.
she did not stop and wonder " how 'on
earth it happened," but she bolted. Seve-
gal parties removed- the immense drift's.
wh'ieh formed in '.front of their premises
onThursday, by:hauling' the snow to some
vacant lot =a good idea. Now that sleigh:
ing is good'it should beborne in'Mind '•
that any person failing to -have-bells on
thehorses is liable to be p' rosecuted. Al-
though generally worn there:are•some ex-
ceptions. The furious driving On 'the
streets should 'be stopped—it'hi dangerous..
'`You'll • be fined' for, hanging on that
sleigh," greets the ear -on all sides. Tlie.
young man who upset his lady love on a
certain street, and: allowed her to remain
in the snow. for about five minutes would
feel ashamed of :'himself if he; saw' his
name in print in connection` with the af-
fair. The •sidewalk down James : street
to the 'railway station is of no use what
ever now, and it should b'ecleaned off ; if'
even atthe expense of the town.
BRIEFS.,, -Thursday next' will , be:. the
shortest day 'of the year.; Several parties
are using 'snowshoe's here, :and an effort
is being made to 'forint,. club."' A couple of
lamps'got knocked ':down in'.Thompson &
Switzer's, the other day; smashing them.'
