�RQRERING.—Mrs Malcolm, who
resides near Ottawa, ' (sister of Mr
.Horace Foster) recently suffered al-
most R the entire loss of her eyesight
from some .unknown cause, and has

the Bayfield road,was coming to town
in they waggon of Mr Potter. When
hear to n they.stoppod to pick some-
, thing u from the roadside,Mr Junor
leaning over the side of the waggon,
but er Potter unthinkingly got up
"off t e board he was sitting on, and
allowed Mr Junor to fall on the
und, with the result that a bone
the right wrist was broken.
CARELESS HABIT.—A great many
people have a careless way of leaving
their horses standing untied while
they.run into stores to transact busi-
:aess. The other evening a team so
ieft,vearthe mill was frightened and
•` ging considerable damage,
der is there are not more
s the owners are liable for
all damages resulting from such care-
•leittieeir, if is surprising tisat more
care is not used in this respect.
Ru*AWAY.--On Saturday last as
Mr Habkirk,who resides near Sea -
",,,,.'
forth, was approaching town in a
z, buggy, accompanied by his wife, the
horse got frightened at a snowman
that .bad been built on the roadside
by some boys, and ran •away. Both
iT.. were thrown out of the buggy,. and
the borne ran down . street, turning
into the Rattenbury House stables,
' where the buggy came into collision
,t: with" -the bus, and was literally
smashed to pieces. Kr and Mrs Hab-
lhrrk escaped unhurt.
r !. PROPERTY CHANGES.—:Mrs-S.Fitz-
tsimoes, sr., has bought a house and
y let below the station, owned by John
1 " .McQueen,Mich., paying therefor the
sum of$250; she gets it ' dirt cheap."
Thebouaeand lot on Victoria St.,own-
ed by the late John Stephenson, was
r:. bought on Saturday, . by Mr Grorge
•Connell, of Goderich township, for
$665. We understand that Mr Racey
bas sold the property on Albert St.,
occupied by Mr Smithson, to J.John-
ston, jr., Mr-Swarts has also sola a
small piece of property to Mr \V':
:Young.

"Mr Ira Lewis, ,C¢unty Crown At-
torney, was in town for a short time
on Monday; he ca wally remarked
that' things seemed to be humming

[Yes and when he'go't back to Gode,
.4.. 'rich -fie cordially remarked :—"•Cli�1
ton I by gosh, I wouldn't live ~there
for half the town !"—Goderich Star`.]
` [Quite likely, for he has-been accus-
tomed to the grave -yard stillness of
Goderich for so many years, that the
�life, bustle and activity of Clinton
' was more than he could stand.]
' FooT BALL NOTES.—On Saturday
a game of foot ball was played on the
High School grounds, between the
No. 1 Invincibles, of Stanley town
ship, and the Victoria foot ball club
''s. of0liatton. Both teams'areeniors,

SALVATION ARgr Jup;I,EE.-•-The
Clinton Argiiy barracks was •more
than crowded on Wednesday evening,.
on the occasion of the visit of Staff
Capt. Burebett, D.O. of London, and
wife. Theexercises were of the
usual nature; and, in addition to the
local officers, was participated in by
Capt. Godfrey and Lieut, Lewis, of
Exeter ; Capt. Andrews, Seaforth, and
Lteut. Hgalett,, Goderich. During
the evening some of the roughs out-
side hurled a couple of stones through
the window, and had they struck any-
one the consequences would have
been serious ; we,aiope that whoever
did this rascally act will be severely
punished, as it is.adisgraceto a com-
munity to have such people in their
midst. The Army at Seaforth held a
fourdays' meeting, concluding on
Monday night. They have a large
barracks there, which was filled to its
utmost.
A CHANCE FOR AN INDIGNATION
ARTICLE.—We are pleased to see that
our local cotem. joins with the
Mitchell Advocate in condemning a
most monstrous case of outrage under
the customs administration of Hon.
Mackenzie Bowell, and in order that
it may show its sincerity still further
we will .put it on the track of a case
in this town of a mere glaring nature
than even the Mitchell twine case,
wherein blackmail to the tune of $135
was levied on one of our most pro-
minent business-men,whose name can
be given on application to this office.
The NEw ERA is in possession of the
facts, but we have giyen our cotem.
a pointer on which it can investigate
for itself, and if it does not find suffi-
cient grounds for a red-hot editorial,
we are very much mistaken. Lest
we might be misunderstood, we wish
to say that the local customs collector
bad no part whatever in the transac-
tion.
A Goon SEASON'S RECORD.—Mr
Robert Martin, of the Londonroad,
took the following prizes at the dif-
ferent fairs this fall, being a record
of which he may well feel proud :—

SotxETBING WORTH SEEING.—The
other day we bad the pleasure of in-
specting an exquisite piece of work-
manship, in the shape of a secretary,
manufactured by Mr James Ross, a
cabinet maker in the employ of Mr
Jos. Chidley. From a description of
it one cannot form an idea of the la-
bor involved in its manufacture, and
it really needs to be seen to be appre-
ciatep. The "ground work" is black
walnut, and it is inlaid with small
squares, diamonds, hearts, etc., a!1
formed of minute pieces of different
colored woods, the case being veneered
in this manner, on all sides. The
doors are partial cylinders, and con-
tain shelves for letters, etc., while the
interior has the usual drawers and
spaces for books, etc. The top is
surmounted by a clock. Beneath the
desk are placed two cylinders, half
enclosed, wherein anything desired
may be stored. The secretary has
taken many months hard work and is
composed of over forty-two thousand
pieces of wood. It will shortly be
placed on exhibition in Mr Chidley's
shop, and parties interested in any-•
thing of this kind should see it.
Tun MANITOBLANS.- The NEW
ERA hada long and interesting talk
with Capt. Sheppard, of Portage la
Prairie, the other day. He acknow-
ledged that the boom had lett the
towns and villages of. the Northwest
in a pretty bad plight, but was of op-
inion that the difficulties would be
tided over in time. The crops in
Manitoba had been the finest this
year he had ever seen, and if they
continued as good in future years, it
'would be absolutely necessary for the
government to buy out the monopoly
clause of the Cr P. R.. and allow
other roads to be constructed, because
efficient as the seryice of the C P. R.
may be, it would not be equal to
moving the immense quantity of grain
grown there .when good crops •p'revail.
Mr Sheppard thinks 'the section
around Portage In Prairie the finest
in the Woo and says that those
Huroniteslysettled in the immediate
viciniiy-,pre�now so well off that they
canst.R'emiattcfrs easy the. balance of
`t$e'Fr- days.
ME W. MaKAY, of Sunshine, who
has •been on a visit to friends at
Deleraine, Man., returned on Satur-
day, and gave the NEW ERA a call.
He was very much pleased with the
country, so much so that he bought a
quarter -section of railway land, hav-
ing to pay $6 a6 acre for land which
was formerly offered at $2. The crops
in this section were also immense,but
be says great difficulty is experienced
in getting'wood and water. .He help-
ed hie friends a few days with a steam
thresher, and it was necessary to haul
water for it eight miles. The night
before he left the thermometer went
to 30 c' below zero. He enjoyed his
trip very much, but stills likes Huron
county in preference.
MR R. J. ANDERSON, of De Clair,
Man., (formerly of Goderich town-
bliip) who:is down here on a forty-
dayg' visjt,• expre'ses bimielf as well
pleased with bis new home, and has
no intention of ever returning to On-
tario to farm. He says that he bas
nothing whatever, to complain of, and
thinks that in the course of tfine the
O.f',R will have opposition there.

composition ofnextyear s town coun-
cil. That money is close, but not
close enough to reach.
BatEFs.—Miss Sparling,of Holmes-
vine, left here on Tuesday, for La-
cota, Dak. Mr Richardson, travell-
ing agent of the Wabash R. R.,. was
here on business, on Tuesday. Mr
H. B. Proudfoot, is still unable to
leave his room. The Clinton Quar-
tette Club (under the management of
Mr G. F. Oakes) start on a week's
engagement very soon, and will take
in Mitchell and other pointe in that
locality. Mr WmWeir is still ship-
ping pressed bay to London ; he
could pack more than he is doing,but
the bay is not coming in. The an-
nual meeting of the Orange Associa-
tion will be held next Monday even-
ing, for the election of cfficers, and
other business. A few days since Mr
Angus Campbell fell from a scaffold-
ing on which be was working,cutting
his face slightly. Our butchers will
make a display of Christmas meat
this year, weather permitting, that
will put in the shade all their pre-
vious efforts,and that is saying a great
deal, Mr Calvin Osborne had the
misfortune to smash one of his fingers
the other day with a semaphore ball
and is consequently off work. It is
expected that Judge•Toms will give
his decision at the Quarter Sessions
next week, on several appealed Scott
Act cases, tried before" Dr. Williams
was appointed police magistrate. Mrs
McCorvie bas returned from Kincar-
dine, baying been on a visit to Miss
Fisher (a lady well known here) who
was sadly afflicted last week by the
sudden death of her intended hus-
band,Mr Leslie. The War Cry credits
Mr W. C. Searle, of Clinton, with a
gift of $10 towards the Salvation
Army work among the French ; W.
C. is a liberal giver towards the spread
of the gospel in various ways. On
Friday last the pupils of Miss Helyar's
room presented her with a silver
pickle cruet. Mr James E.Johnston,
agent of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way at Fargo, formerly ticket agent
of the L. H. & B. here, was recently
voted a gold -headed cane as the most
popular railway agent in that city.
Mr Eph Doherty, of Hamilton, was
in town this week. Burglars in Brant-
ford raided the office of Mr Sims, a
person well known in Clinton, but
they only got as much as if they had
.visited a- newspaper- .office—nothing..
The last sitting of the Division Court
for this year will be held here on the
30th inst. The directors of the Hul-
lett Agricultural Societyhave decided
not to hold a Christmas Fair this
year. The son of Mr Wiltse, so brolly
hurt by the late accident, is progress-
ing as favorably as can be expected.
The meeting of the County Council
held last week, was the shortest
regular meeting that has been held
in fifteen years, and the most import-
ant business of the session was trans-
acted on the motion of Deputy -Reeve
Manning, of Clinton, concerning the
settlement of the license commission-
ers' suit against the county. John
Hulland sails this week from New
York, via.; White Star Steamship
" Celtic," for Bristol, England,taking
his ticket of W. Jackson, A small
metal purse was found on the street,
and owner can have the sane on ap-
plying to the NEW ERA office. A
couple of local weddings will be an;,
nounced in a few days. There is no
scarcity of water now in the creeks,
cistern and wells. Mr D. D: Wilson,
of Seaforth, having bought an egg
business at Fergus, it is reported that
a well known Huronite, at present a
member of the County Council, will
move there and take charge of it for
him. The Wingham Times is offered
for sale owing to the death of Mr
Galbraith ; it is ' a good snap for a
printer with lots of snap in him. .Mr
H. V. McInnes, travelling agent of
the C. P.R., was " painting the town
red" on Tuesday, with flaring posters
announcing the coming of the C. P.
R. exhibition car, nn the 10th inst.
Theeditorof the Wingham Advance
offers a shot -gun for sale as he has no
further use for it; is the Advance

Ben Gibbings leaves town shortly for
Owen Sound, where he will take a

Mr S. Notley, of London, is here on
a visit to friends. Miss Dodsworth
has returned to town and resumes her
business of dressmaker next to the
Naw ERA office. Mrs John Mc-
Murray has been suffering from a
severe attack of neuralgia in the face,
and is yet confined to the house.
Miss Grace Robertson, of Clinton,
gave two recitations and took part in
a duet, at a Wingham entertainment,
on Tuesday evening. Mr James
Anderson is now able to sit up. Mr
Walter Manning spent last week in
Toronto. Mr H. Beacom had a pair
of boots stolen from him the other
night. The Blyth Standard thinks
that the NEw ERA says too much
concerning Clinton's progress; that is
where opinions differ—we cannot say
too much concerning a good thing.
Mrs 3onalu Ross is -suffering from a
paralytic stroke, but is getting better,
Saturday was not a very pleasant day
and the roads were bad, but a crowd
of people were nevertheless • in town
and a lot of business was transacted,
Mr James Steep got back from the
North west, on Saturday ; he • says
Winnipeg is2a pretty stirring place,
brit all the rest are " flat as a door
nail -" it registered 350 below zero on
Sunday, Nov. 29-- and it poured
with rain here the same day. A load
of hay weighing over 2i tons turned
the scales here the other day—a,big
load, but it was pressed hay. The
new freight shed is now about com-
pleted, and gives Clinton station as
good accommodation for freight as
any station between Goderich and
Toronto,Stratford and Guelph alone
