AurtorE AsSIEEs.-The autumn sitting
• of the assize court for this county will
commence at Goderich, on the 22nd of
September, before Chief Justice 'Wilson.
This will be one of the most interesting
ass;ze courts ever held in the reountY,
from the fact that some of the cases to Ile
Dried are notorious in their nature, among
them being the Hunter rape ease, and the
Beamiall manslaughter case.
DIED IN THE WEST. --Our readers here
will be very sorry to learn of the death of
Miss Tena. Mann, "formerly 'erthis
place, which opcurred at Denver, Colora-
ilo, on the 1tt ot July, where he went,
accompanied by her brother, about the
lst of March, for the benefit of her health.
Alter being there about a month she neared to grow weaker instead of stronger,
and,lier mother was sent for, remaining
till she died. She is the fifth in ithe
family who haf•died of consumption be-
tweeethe ages of 21 and 26.
Dose TAxEs.-At an adjourned meeting
of the town council on Monday evening,
a by-law was passed levying a tax of $1
on dogs and $2 on bitches, and 25e Addi-
tional for registration fees and a tag, the
by-law to go into effect at once. This bY-
law means -that all.degs.running at large
must wear a collar' with tag attached,
which tag indicates that the dog tax has
been paid by the owner- of said dog, for
the year. Owners of dogs not complying
with the by, -law are suhject to a fine.
• RATHER AwitWAltn.-:-A very modest
and bashful married man was placed in
• an awful predicament on Thursday night
• last. He had retired to rest (though his
• wife was up yet) and when the band pass-
'ke was tempted to get up and bear it,
so without putting anymore clothing on
he hurried to the fiont door, ' and. was
taking in the sweet strains of musie, when
a lady friend bolted into the house -WO -1'T,
he could beat a retreat. Ile says that the
best band in Canada won't get him out
• again till he has got his clothes ob• .
CLINTON'S Cr'xo HoirD.o.y..-In ac-
cordance with the request of a large-
ly .signed petition, Mayor Forrester' has
appointed Tuesday, August the 5th, as
the- civic holiday for this town. The
only thing transpiring on this day,‘As far
• as we know, is a cheap excursion .to To-
ronto, the Grand Trunk Railway issuing
tickets good for two days, at the very low
rate of $1.50 for the trip: As the holiday
occurs at a slack Season of the -year, a
large number will doubtless take advan-
tage of the occasion -to visit the Queen
• City.
•
ONE of LIFE'S AEELICTIONs.-On
day a middle-aged man passed through
• Clinton., walking, whose peculiar condi-
tion was the subject of coneiderablemorn-
ment. Through a white -swelling he had
lost the use of his left leg, froni, the 'knee
downward, and hehad in ,iron frame
strapped j the upper pertion a the leg,
to which was attached a wooden support,
by means of which he was able to walknt
a moderate paee. He • was on his way
from Hamilton to some 'friends in the vi-
cinity of Goderich, and had walked all
the way from Galt. He said he found'
the farmers along the road very hospit-
able and considerate, and he did -not allow
his misfortune to cause him midi anxiety
or concern. •

, OLD TIMEns.-Mr. Young and wife,
from the State of Connecticutare visiting
61d friends in this neighborhood. In the
• year 184$ he settled on the farm now
owned by Mr. Thos. Farquhar, -5th eon..
of Hullett, living there for sometime; and
afterwards selling it and removing east.
• He thought the county of Huron, and
Clinton in particular, had made Wonder-
ful progress. Mr, James Maxon, of Eg-
mondville, •renewed his subscription to
the Naw ERA on the 12th ; while here he
stated that he had been in Clinton 61
years ago, at which time it'consisted of
one log building ; he expressed the opin-
ion that Clinton was deitinecl to he the
leading place of the county, whether it'
became the county town or not.
MODEL Scnom-On Friday forenoon
closing exercises took place in the primary
and next division of the Model sebool,
the various classes being eXatained as to
the progress made during the past half
year. The children, by the readiness of
their answers, and their cheerfulness and
vivacity, gave proof of the good manage-
inent of the teachers, In the afternoon
the children assembled at the school house,
then marched in file to the town hall,
where they had arranged to go through.a
programme of dialogues, recitations and
singing, the two primary .divisions net
taking part on this occasion. With
scarcely ,an exception, all genie& out
their part of the programme with ' great
credit to themselves, and as each co/mind-
ed they were rapturously applauded. After
the programme was finished by the
children, Dr. Williams, chairman of the
school board; took the platform, and in-
vited several of the ratepayers present to
join with him in presenting the prizes
which had been provided for the several
successful pupils. After the prizes had
-all been disposed of a resolution of thanks
to Mr. Thos. Jackson, it., and 1Vliss Greig
was unanimously passed,'far their efforts
in carrying gut the singing part of the
programme so successfully, they having
devoted considerable time efficiently
training the children. There WAS .only
one thing to regret in connection with
this really pleasing entertainment, and
that was that there were so few parenta
and guardians present, These that were"
there were not only delighted, but they'
gave a stimulus to the children and en-
couragement to the teachers. If the peo-
ple of Clinton wish their schools to fulfil
their highest, purposes they 111114 net

ASKS A Lata, -On Tuesday Mr. Geo.
Jackson, of Egmondville, made, an inform-
al request for a loan from the town of
Clinton, of 0,000, without interest, for
ten years. ..He stated that if the loan was
granted, a joint stock company would be
formed to run the woollen millghere, the
company to raise $10,000 additional. He
wanted a special meeting of the council
called, that, the matter might be consider-
ed at once, but was informed that they
would consider a written application only,
and such he did not put in. number of
the leading ratepayers who were spoken
to, on the subject, strongly objected to
anything of the kind, while a few others
were favorable to the preposition, What
will be the outcome ot this, of course, we
cannot say,
