n OP' rgi
ILLNESS.—Both Mr and Mrs C. A.
Hartt have been laid up for a couple
of weeks with inflammation of the
lungs, the latter had a very severe
attack, being hardly able yet to leave
her room. Mr Hartt is able to be out,
but is yet very weak. ,•
ACCIDENT' AT A FUNERAL. — On
Saturday last, while a funeral was on
its way to the cemetery, the bad roads
caused the whiffietree of the hearse
to break, and the corpse had to be
transferred to the pall bearers' wag-
gon, these persons walking the re-
mainder of the way.
OUTRAGEOUS.—On Friday evening
last a volley of stones fired through
the windows of the Salvation Army
barracks broke any amount of glass.
It is really too bad that the perpetra-
tors are allowed to go unpunished,
as the Salvationists are just as much
entitled to protection as any one else.
A FALL.—On ,Saturday morning
Mr W. H. Beesley was sanding on a
stool placed upon the counter, when
it slipped from beneath him, and he
was thrown violently across the coun-
ter. He put out his hand to save
himself, which thus broke - his fall.
Otherwise he would have had a brok-
en rib or two.
INSULTING,—Monday night three
'boys loafing at Cuninghame & M c-
Murray's corner made some insulting
remark to a couple of girls who passed,
when one of' them turned and said,
" I'll slap your face if you say that
again." She should not have given
him any chance to say it again, but
slapped the impudent rascal's face
there and then.

from here may attend the entertain-
ment of Mrs Siddons, who reads there
this (Friday) evening. About thirty
from here have already isecuredseats.
SUNDAY LOAFERS.—A fine Sunday
is no booner ushered in than a crowd
of street loafers congregate at each of
the four corners of Albert and Huron
streets, during the afternoon,and spit
tobacco juice and use filthy language,
very much to the annoyance of ladies
and others who are compelled to stand
perse, he should have, and if he has
he should use it.
WHITE BnoNzE.—The St. Thomas
White Bronze Company commenced
operations again last week, with more
than twice the number of orders they
had last spring. The county of Hu-
ron is not behind,orders have recently
been handed to W. M. Giffin, of Clin-
ton. for White Bronze monuments by
Dr Sloan, of Blyth ; Mr John Young,
of Morris; Mr Wm. Allin, carriage
inaker,Benmiller; Mrs Alfred Knight,
Auburn,' and Mrs Wm. Garvie, Clin-
ton, all of which are to be erected
early this season.
SCOTT ACT MEETING—If the crowd
at the town ball, on Tuesday evening,
is any indication of the feeling in and she left on Wednesday, for Onta-
temperance matters, this question has rio, California.' On her arrival there
perance worm on Sunday morning.
It was ' hot shell,' fired from the
shoulder, in the most unmistakeable
Anglo Saxon; and was not calculated
to soothe the conscience or mince
temperance matters. It was a clear
statement of 4no compromise with sin.'
The following are the officers of the
Ontario Street Methodist Young Peo-
ple's Association :—Pres., A H Man-

Mims RUTH CASSELS is one of the
young ladies to whom the NEW ERA
referred last week, when' speaking of
those ladies who were going west,
certainly not lost its hold upon the
public mind. The hall was packed,
a goodly number present being antis.
Mr James Scott was chairman, and
on the platform were Revs John
Gray, W W Sparling, A Stewart, and
E S Rupert. The chairman made a
few introductory remarks, and then
called upon Mr Rupert, who', for
about fifteen minutes delivered a
stormy, forcible and enthusiastic ap-
peal to the electors to hold on to the
temperance legislation we had, and
never go back upon the progressive
movement. Mr Gray was accorded

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY.—That
the vote next Thursday. will be a sur-
prise to one side or the other. That
Clinton is now large enough to have
an established market day. That the
fall wheat is improving. That two
or three new stone crossings should
be made as soon as possible. That

race for a local government office.

abstinence, and the necessity for a
law restricting the use of strong
drinks, not one legalizing the traffic.
Both speakers were repeatedly ap-
plauded during their remarks, and
good order maintained throughout.
MEETING OF HURON MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION. —There were present
Dr Young, President ; Drs Taylor,
Gunn Elliott, Stanbury, Gordon,
Smith, Evans, Chisholm, Worthing-
ton and Barkwell (student). Two
cases were presented for examination,
one of the knee joint in a young girl,
which bad been under treatment for
some time, and was getting better ;
the other a boy of 12 years, whose his-
tory a peculiar one. When about one
year old he eat some green paper, and
was immediately attacked with vio-
1 lent vomiting and purging, and from
< that time be has had more or less
THE Wooeixer MILL—The Olin- ihemorrhage from the bowels, with
ton woollen mill (which has been lsoreness over the abdomen. He gets
running lately under the management
of Mr John Scott) is temporarily
closed down, as Mr D. Graham, the
Qvfner. is moving part of his machin-
ery to Inglewood, Mr Scott expects
to re -open the mill about the 1st of
May,and after that date will keep it
running.
ENLARGE THE HALL.—It has been
quite evident for some time that the
present town hall is not large enough
to accommodate all those who wish to
attend public meetings of one kind
and another. During the winter
several meetings were held at which
a large number of people found it im-
possible to get standing room, and we
think the council should take some
steps to provide better accommoda-
tion, We are aware that it means the
expenditure of considerable money,
but we are of' the opinion that' the
townpeople would not object, when it
would be an expenditure so manifestly
in their own interest.
INCREASED SCHOOL ACCOMMODA-
TION.—The trustees of the public
school are in a quandary as to what
course to pursue concerning increased
school accommodation. Some time
ago the matter was thoroughly con-
sidered, and it was decided not to
build a ward school, but to make
some addition to the present building
that would accommodate the ever-in-
creasing "number of pupils. It has
been found that to do this will spoil
the upper and lower room:in the pre-
sent building, by shutting out the
light on the south side. Increased
room must be had, and that almost
immediately, but in what way to get
it to the best advantage, without in-
terferring with existing arrangements,
is just what is puzzling the brains of
the trustees.
better periodically, and when his
bowels are better his nose begins to
bleed, and continues to do so until
his bowels are worse again, Several
very interesting cases were reported,
and altogether the meeting'was a very
interesting and instructive one. The
day was about as uupropitioue as it
could well be, yet this meeting, on
Tuesday last, was well attended. The
'interest in these meetings is now so
thoroughly established, , that there is
very little danger of the Association
becoming other than it is, except in-
creasing in membership and interest.
The next meeting will, be held in Sea -
forth, on the 2nd Tuesday in July.
A change from April • to May will
likely be made, to catch better wea-
ther and roads.
HORSE NOTES. —Mr A.Forsyth,the
well known horseman has gone out of
partnership with Mr Johnston, the
latter keeping Canadian Scotsman
and also the 2 -yr -old colt, Sandy Lad.
Mr Forsyth keeps the imported mare,
Mag. As it is Just as impossible for
Mr Forsyth to keep away from horse-
flesh, as for a fish to live out of water,
he has purchased from Mason & Reid,
the splendid imported colt, Hazel-
wood. This horse is only two years
and ten months old, was imported
last year and weighs 1755 lbs; it is a
pretty brown, with one white hind
leg and star in forehead, and cost Mr
Forsyth the sum of $1500. It is cer-
tainly a magnificent colt, and will
cover nearly the same route travelled
by Rantin Jock last year..
Local Church Chimes.
Mr Trotter, who preached very ac-
ceptably in the Baptist church, on
Sunday, will do so again on Sunday
next.

Some time ago a call was extended
to the Rev J. Odery, of Hamilton, by
the people of Rattenbury St, church,
and conditionally accepted by that
person. Last week when the Transfer
Committee of the Methodist church
met, the people of Rattenbury St.
were surprised as well as annoyed to
find that Mr Odery was not transfer-
red to the Guelph Conference, which
means that be is not coming to Rat-
tenbury St. church this year. It is
not known who is responsible for the
disappointment, but an explanation
from some source is in order, and
should be demanded by the authori-
ties of .Rattenbury St. church.
