A HINT To OUR READEIIs.—It is
generally best to buy goods from the
man who advertises, for he loss al-
ways the newest and cheapest. He
don't allow bis stock to lie around on
the shelvesuntilit is old fashioned
while he watches thrdur h his window
to see who goes in to buy from his
more energetic neighbor. He sells
quickly and buys again. Read the
all announcements of our merchants
in the NEW ERA, and patronize live
business men.

AN EXCHANGE THAT WAS NOT
FArtt.—O0 Monday last MrGeo.Daw.
a tailor in town, went down to Lon-
don, wearing a brand new overcoat.
Returning on the evening train, he
put the overcoat on the seat and en-
joyed a quiet nap. When he awoke
he found that some one had taken his
good overcoat, and left in its place an
old one which had evidently seen
marry season's _wear.
Messrs Jas. Stephenson, General
Superintendent of the Grand Trunk,
and W. R. Tiffin, Assistant Superin•
tendent of the G. T. R., were here on
a tour of inspection on Tuesday.
They decided on an extension to the
freight shed, but to be built at the
western end instead of the eastern
end, as previously announced, in fact,
these gentlemen said there never was
any intention to close up the street
east of the freight shed.
Mr Rol't. Fitzsimons has sold his
carriage horse which took so many
first prizes at all the fall fairs this
year, to Mr Cook,:of the publishing
firm of Ennis & Cook, Hamilton, for
the sum of $200. The horse is a
splendid driver, and Mr Cook wi.l
find he bas secured a bargain. Mr
Cook must be different to the pub-
lishers up this way, for the only
" horse" we can own is one made of
wood, and costing about 50 cents.
At the annual meeting of the
Clinton Branch of the Womens'
Christian Temperance Union, held at
the house of Mrs Thos. Stevenson, nn
Tuesday afternoon last, the following
officers were elected :—Mrs May,Pres.;
Mrs Detlor, 1st Vice -Pres ; • Mrs
Burchell, 2nd Vice -Pres.; Miss Huck -
step, 3rd Vice -Pres,; Miss Robinson,
Recording Sec.; Mrs Biddlecombe,

Miss L: White,Cor.-Sec.; Miss Lizzie
Washington, Assistant Cor. -Sec.
TERRIFIC WIND S'ronli,—On Sun-
day night one of the most violent
wind storms experienced in this vicin-
ity for some time, took place, but,
fortunately the damage done in town
was not very much. Several windows
in St. Paul's church were blown in,
and of course, smashed. The well of
one citizen caved in, and he avows
that it was the force of the wind
which caused it. Out in the country
fences were laid low in every direc-
tion. A windmill on the farm of Mr
W. Wise, Goderich township, was
pretty badly wrecked.
NOTES CONCERNING APPLES.—Mr
Cox; who resides on the 5th con, of
Goderich township,this year gathered
about 500 barrels of apples from his
orchard of three acres, arid out of four
farms on the same concession, all in
the Cox family, about 1500 barrels
were gathered. Mr John Middleton,
of Goderich township, gathered 400
barrels from his farm, and Mr Ben.°
Switzer, from an orchard of a little
over two .acres, gathered 347 barrels.
The price of , apples in this section
has varied frim 75 cents to $1.25 a
barrel. accordipg to quality, and tak-
ing $1 as an averng' Trice, it will
easily be seen that an orchard is a
'source of considerable profit. It is
roughly estimated that the total, of
apples packed in this county will be
apout 200,000 barrels. Farmers should
devote more attention to this part of
their industry, and then their re-
turns would be better.
RATHER -UNPLEASANT DRlVING.—
A few nights since Mr Chas. Peacock,
who resides in' Hullett, had .beer],
down at his father's on the London
road, The night was so dark that he
could hardly see his horse, and as it
was a young one, he was driving very
cautiously. When near town the
horse got frightened and'rearing up
on its hind feet, broke the hold -backs.
Mr Peacock remedied this with a
strap across the hips, " and then
thought he would get Home all right,
but shortly after it got frightened
again, and, bolting off the road upset
the rig and broke it somewhat. Mr
Peacock repaired the damage as best
he could and finally arrived home
very little the worse of his unpleasant
.experience.
MADE sus way Homo —For some
time past a young man, whose home
is in this vicinity, but who has never
been regarded as dangerous, has been
confined in the Asylum at London,
and he surprised his friends a few
days since by quietly" walking in
among them. He made no bones
whatever about his escape and told
them how he managed to effect it,
which, according to bis story, was as
follows :-- Getting possession of a
broken key by some means he found
thet it Would unlock a door which
would allow of his escape, but the
key was too short to be used by itself,
and he fastened it to a piece of wood.
Knowing that the guards went to
h at midnight, he arranged to
pe at_this .time'
and in -company
another innate,• who bad heen
,into the secret, they escaped. The
'o in question got n ride from
here, part of the way, and
r the ditttnce he footed
',stormed that the
Love off, red to
'ing man is

once more of the opportunity such a
service affords of uniting in thanks-
giving to the Giver of all Good for
His bountiful mercies and blessings.
Foo'r BALL,—There has been quite
a bit of foot ball play going on in
towu lately. On Saturday,l5th inst.,
a match was played between the Me-
delites and the High School boys, the
latter winning by' two goals to one.
On Tuesday a game was played be-
tween the High School boys and a
town team, the former winning by 2
to 0. On Thursday another was play-
ed between a second team and a junior
town team, the latter winding by 4 to
2. It could scarcely be called a match,
as it was raining heavily during the
latter part of the game, the High
School team had the best ot it during
the first half, and think they can hold '
their own the next time they play
them. There is quite an interest tak-
en in these matches. If there is a
foot -ball team in Seaforth or Goderich
the club here would -like to play them, 1
PRESENTATION.—On the evening
of Friday, the 21st inst., a very
pleasant event—the precursor of a
vastly more important one—occurred
at the house of Mr Thos. Jackson, sr.,
when the members of the Willis
Church choir availed themselves of
the opportunity, which the happy
circupistance afforded,ofshowing their
appreciation of the services rendered
by MisssNettie Jackson So. the choir,
by pies , : na
tea set and the following address,read
by Mr H.. S. MacLean :—
Miss JACKSON,—We, the members of
Willis Church choir being, aware that
you are about to take an important
step in life—one involving new and
grave responsibilities—take this oppor-'
tunity of expressing our high apprecia-
tion of the faithfulness and ability with
which you discharged your duties as one
of our number. At all times you showed
clearly and unmistakably that you were
willing to do everything in your power
to promote the best interests of the
congregation, as well as of the choir. In
order that you may have something by
which to remember those who, with so
much pleasure,have gathered around you
this evening, we present to you this
China Tea Set. ' Please accept it as a
manifestation of the kindly feeling
which w e cherish towards you. It is
our earnest prayer that you may con-
tinue to use the talents with which you
are endowed, to the glory of Trim who
gave them, and that you may long be
spared to influence for good all those
with whom you come in contact. Signed
on behalf of the choir., • HATTIE LESLIE.
MRs SWALLow. •
MATRIMONIAL,—An event that has
been anticipated in society circles for
some time, took place at Highview,
the residence 'of T. Jackson, Esq.,
Clinton on Wednesday morning last,
when that popular young business
man, Mr 0, C. Ranee, was united in
marriage to Miss Nettie Jackson,
second daughter of Mr Jackson, and
one of the most highly esteemed
young ladies in the town. The groom
was assisted by Messrs C. Smith and
H. Combe,-- and the bride by her.
sister Aggie and Miss Alice Rance.
The ceremony was performed by Revs.
Messrs Stewart and Craig. The bride
received a large number of very hand-
some presents and after partaking of
a sumptuous dinner, the happy
couple left on the noon train, on thtir
wedding tour, which includes the
cities of Hamilton, 'Toronto and
Buffalo. On their return to town
they will take up their residence in
one of the new cottages erected by
Mr Perrin, on Ontario St. They have
the beat wishes of a very wide circle
of acquaintances, for their future
happiness.
Miss Hattie Leslie was the one
chosen to tender the gift,and it is un-
necessary to say that she did her part
creditably. Mr Thos. Jackson; jr.,
made a brief but suitable reply on be-
half of Miss Jackson, who was so
deeply moved at receiving -such kind-
nt ss from her friends, that she could
not find words sufficient to show the
extent of her gratitude to them. Alter
partaking of a bountiful repast, all
seemed to go in for a .good time. At
a seasonable hour the company dis-
persed, feeling that a very enjoyable
evening had been spent.
LITTLE FELLOWS—Surprise parties
will soon be in order, A boom in
fall trade has eotntneneed. "All
Hallowe'en" next Monday night, and
Saturday week Guy Fawke's day.
Tenth Division Court will be held
to -day, 28th inst.. Before putting up
your stoves for the winter make a"
thorough examination of your chim-
neys, and places where pipes pass
through partitions ; a little time spent
this way may save you an expensive
conflagration. School children are
looking forward to the holidays. It
is now 'time to remove the mosquito
bar from the kitchen window.' The
liveryman is painting up his cutters,
and will anxiously 'await the first fall
of snow. Jack Frost, with his inimit-
able brush, will soon paint pretty
pictures ou the window panes, Ice
cream signs have disappeared, and
the young man fearlessly walks the
streets with his best girl. We bad
two or three falls of snow last week,
and the weather has been quite cold
for several days. The " wedding
march" still continues ; " who'll be
the next ?'' Mr H. Robinson, for a
short time a resident here, has re-
turned to Goderich. Mrs Morley has
put a neat wire fence around her
houses on Mary street. A large ad-
dition has been put to the livery
stable of Rowland Beattie. Mr
Wilbur Foster has been filling the
position of Mr Jeffrey, at Lc'ndesboro
station for a few days, the latter dis-
charging the agent's duties at Hen -
sail. Mr H. Tweedy, of Toronto,
formerly of Clinton, was here this
week on his wedding tour. Mr Geo.
Shipley the other day traded his team
of black drivers with a Listowel man,
getting a larger team in exchange
therefor. Mr John Endes has dis-
posed of his house and lot in Wing -
ham, for the sum.of $700 cash. Mr J.
MeGarva still con;ieues very ill, with
no apparent change. The Miiligan
Comedy Co., .billed here for Tuesday
and Wednesday, only played the first
evening,owing to the small patronage
received. Mr John V. Coats leaves
on Saturday for Sarnia, where he has
taken a situation. We yesterday re-
ceived from some of our correspond-
ents an empty "printer's copy" enve-
lope, and if some one wonders why
thoi'r donitriiinication is not in type,
this will explain it. By•the-way,
there are a few of our ,correspondents
whom we should like to hear front
more regularly. Although a number
of other delegates were appointed to
attend the S. S. Convention at Lon-
don, Rev. Mr Sperling was the only
one who put in an appearance from
Clinton. Mr Mayne, who hos been
abseut from 'town for some time, has
returned.
WHO'S THE A t;'rt-loR Y—The follow
ing item appeared in these columns
last week :
"A letter received from the Education.
al Department contains the following
sentence :—There will be ,no papers set
in mental arithmetic and dictation at
the next Teachers' Examination, but
one mark will be deducted for every
Iasis -spelt word."
The last paper had not been deliv-
ered around town when a deputation
consisting of Inspector J. E. Tom,
Head Master Strang, and his col-
league of the High School, S.P Halls,
and Principal Embury, of the Public
School, swooped down on the Star
and demanded in thunder tones the
source of its information. The only
reply the astonished editor could give
was that he clipped the item from an
exchanges pro -clueing the originals
copy,but unfortunately he was unable
to identify the journal clipped from,
The deputation declared the para-
graph to be entirely erroneous, and
now the question is, who started it ?
Will the editor of that exchange
please explain.?—Goderich Star. [The
item first Appeared in the Educational
Notes of the Now ERA, and was a
contributed item, but by whom we
-annot just now remember.]

OVERCOATw$
The Wholesale houses of the Dominion are ovcr-stocke
with a great many lines of goods,and as it consequence,
they are offering some wonderfully cheap goods,'to
reduce their stocks. A visit to the city last week
resulted ina big purchase of Tweeds, at a reduc-
tion of about 40 per cent from regular prices,
and we are now manufacturing a line of
Tweed OVERCOATS
For which we will charge $8. This line would- be grafi
value at $12, and it is to the interest of every pur--
- chaser to come and see this overcoat. Remeni-
ller we carry no ready' made trash, every'
garment being manufactured by our-
selves on the premises. The cut;,'
make and trimmings of our
garments are of a style
that cannot be produced on the
ordinary ready mades, and this in itsef is
worth considerable. We defy competition in our
goods, and a visit to our establishment will bear
us out in our statements.
