CORRECTION.—Mr Jas. Bailey, of
Goderich, writes to say that the rob.
bery mentioned in our issue of the
8th, did not take place in his hotel,
as stated in the NEW ERA, but at an-
other, and adds that nobody ever lost
a dollar in his house.
PROPERTY .OiJANOE.—Mr W. Fos-
ter, traveller, has bought seven acres
from Mr James Miller, situated just
outside the corporation, on the gravel
road, paying therefor about $1000
cash, It is a nice property, and will
make a fine residence site. Mr Foster
intends to build on it this fall.
• STOPPED IN T&IE NICE' OF TIBiE.—
On Tuesday Mr Henry Baker, of
Goderich township, tied his horses in
the shed of the Grand Union hotel.
When the town bell rang at 12 o'clock,
it frightened the horses, which broke
from their fastenings, backed out of
the abed, and were on the point of
running away when Mr Oliver John-
ston caught them. ,
EARLY CLOSING BY -LAW. -At a
special meeting of the town council
held last Thursday evening, a com-
mittee reported having had a con-
ference with the grocers concerning
the early closing by-law, and recom-
mended that the by-law be repealed,
in -so far as its provisions related to
the grocers. This was agreed to, and
the grocers will, therefore, keep open
hereafter as long as they wish.
REv DR SEa-rotr.-The friends
and admirers of Rev Dr Sexton in
this neighborhood will be pleased to
learn that he is likely to accept a
unanimous call he has just received
to the pastorate of the First Presby
terian Church, Dunkirk, N. Y. Our
American friends are to be congratu-
lated upon being able to secure the
cervices of such a learned divine and
such an invincible detender of the
faith.
PERSONAL, —Mr W. Saunders, of
the Exeter Reflector, was in town
on Tuesday, attending the semi-an-
nual meeting of the South Huron
Orange Lodge. Mr W. 13. Kerr, of
the Brussels Post, passed through
town the same day on his way to the
S. S. Convention at Exeter. Both
gentlemen were dressed in their Suu-
daygo-to meeting clothes. It's as-
tonishing what style these "'eotitieet
editors" do put on—when they are
away from home.
' DISMISSED AT LAST, --Over a year
ago Messrs Wanless and Govenlock
and other magistrates; acting as
magistrates for the, enforcement of
the Scott Act, adjudged bout a dozen
hotel -keepers to be guilty of violating
the Act. The hotel -keepers appealed
against the decision, carrying their
cases before the county ,fudge, who
after hearing the evidence, adjourned
them from time to time, and finally
gave judgment Last week, dismissing
all the cases but two.
A Goon DRIVER.—The other day
a horse- driven by Mr Crotty, got
frightened and ran away, bolting
down Isaac St., for all it was worth.
Rigl}t across the corner of Isaac and
Mary StreetsJoslin's dray was passing,
end it looked as if the horse would
land right into this, but the driver
managed to pull it around the corner
down Mary St., the rig running on
two wheels, and threatening to flop
over, but the horse was pulled up
without doing any more damage than
to break the dashboard and an iron
or two.
•
A CASE Or HARDSHIP. —The fail -
ore of W. Craig, cattle dealer, was
revived at the council meeting on
Thursday night by a l'ttle matter
that came under the beading of
'charity." Some time prior to the
failure a. Miss McMullen bad been
employed in Craig's houeeheld ; she
had saved up, by frugality and in-
dnatry, some $300, and to meet press-
ingengagements,her former employer
borrowed this sum. Of course when
the crash came he was unable to re-
pay it, Since that time she has done
her best to make a living, but serious
illness has prevented her doing this,
and on her behalf applieation was
made to the council for assistance.
Her case was referred to the Charity
Committee, the members to do what
they dewier/ best under the eirenm-

CATTLE. - Messrs McLean and
Morgan shipped four car toad' of fine
cattle last week. Eight head were
purchased from Broadfoot, Tucker
smith, and weighed 10750, or an
average of over 1340 each. Mr Rana -
ford supplied 16 head, weighing 21,-
310i. MrsFair 20. head, weighin 26;=
05.9i Mr John Middleton.}10 head,.

rewark,that.Mr R. Welsh, as weigh -
master, has given excellent satisfac-
tion this year, being courteous and
obliging under all circumstances.
SOUTH HURON L. O. L.—The
semi-annual county meeting of the
South Huron County Lodge was held
in the Orange hall here. on Tuesday
last, E. Floody, W. C. M., presiding.
A good number of delegates were
present from- the different sectiotis of
the county. Iu the matter of the
coming 12th celebration the lodges
were given the privilege of celebrat-
ing it wherever they wished. The
private lodges were requested to at-
tend divine services in a body on
Sunday, July 8th, which will likely
in most cases be complied with.
HE NEARLY GOT LEFT. — Last
week Mr R. Adams, of Londesboro,
started by train, as a delegate to the
High Court of Foresters, at Hamil-
ton. When the train drew into Clin-
ton station be stepped off to converse
with a few friends, and in the mean-
time the train drew out towards the
diamond. 111r Adams started after it,
and the way he skipped across the
ties would have done credit to a pro-
fessional runner. The train reached
the diamond ahead of him, but he
caught it before it lad turned the
Y, and it took nearly all the rest of
the journey to get the aches out of
his legs.
THE VOLUNTEERS.—On Tuesday
the Godericb, Dungannon,'Porter's
Hill and Exeter volunteer cgmpanies,
passed through here to Stratford,
where the members put in their an-
nual drill, and the probabilities are
that they will not k,3ow any more
about military tactics when they
come back, than they do dow. Clin-
ton company did not go out for tbt
reason that it has no officers. The
Exeter company, while being put
through their facings at the station
here, were so thorough and profi-
cient, that when told to"right-about,
wheel." they took the `'left wheel"
instead.
TEE MARIZEV.— Last Saturday
there was again a good attendance at
market, and neatly all artieles offered
were sold at good prices. There bas
been more butter offered than there
is a demand'for, and some farmers
have become dissatisfied because they
have not found ready sale for all that
is brought in; another. thing that has
worked disadvantageously is the fact
that as much as two cents a pound
has been asked for butter above the
market price. The townspeople are
willing to patronize and encourage
the market to the best ot their ability
but it is hardly reasonable to expect
them to pay higher prices than mar-
ket value,- We would advise our
townspeople to get to the market, if'
possible, not later than nine o'clock,
(earlier if they like) and they then
have a better choice, and farmers
would not be required to wait so long.
A little "accomodation to circum-
stances" by both farmers and people
of the' town,,,witl soon wear off any
friction that might exist, and will be
mutually beneficial, . ,
DEATH OF MR DODSWORTH,—Not•
withstanding the announcement of
Mr Anthony Dodsworth's illness, no
gne anticipated hie aea_th ao soonaand
much surprise was expressed on -
Monday evening when it was learned
that he had peacefully passed away.
Deceased was one of that class so
rapidly becoming extinct--ao early
settler— having settled on the farm
now owned by Mr McTaggart, Lon-
don road, Stanley, in the year 1851.
He was born at Dalton,Eng., and after
coming to thia country,spent a couple
of weeks in Hullett, before taking up
his residence in Stanley. He lived
for some time in Granton,and about 18
years ago moved into town. He was
a quiet, industrious citizen, and
while well informed on all current
affairs, never took an active part
therein. He was for many years a
member of the Methodist church, hie
life being in entire harmony with his
profession. He leaves an aged widow
to mourn his loes,onei son ( sir Walton
Dodeworth) and three daughters,
namely, Mrs Alfred Moore, Clinton;
Mrs W. Robson, Kansas, and Mrs S.
Rumball, Dakota. Mrs Jas. Walker
is a stepdaughter.

WILLIE Keine, of Ciinton, who
nes for some time in the employ of

two or tbree days visiting friends last
week. Ile was always popular with
the boys and received a hearty wel-
come.—Brussels Budget.
THE Wingham Advance, referring
to former residents of that place, thus
alludes to the son-in•law of Mrs
Morley :--Wm. Hele, a young man
whom it would be hard to find more
popular, is superintendent of a large
dry -goods house at Bellefontaine,
Ohio.
CouNclr,Lon Jackson, speaking to
a question of privilege at the council
board, the other night, said that resi-
dents of High Street were charging
bim with neglect of duty in not hav-
ing the street graded. He had, both
in the council and out of it, worked
bard to this end, as anyone who has
attended the council for slime years
knows, but the Street Committee did
not see its way clear to have the
work done.
Tun News -Record will evidently
admit into its columns any scurrilous
squib, even if anonymous, so long as
it is a drive at the editor of the NEW
ERA as witness the item under
Londesboro heading in its 'iesu'e of
this week, the writer of which the
editor admits he did not know. Now
if it be any consolation to know how
great a "discount" the NEW ERA is
at in Londesboro, we may state that a
good M„ethodiet friend of that village
petaonaily subscribed this week ,for
extra copies of the paper to be sent
to friends.
