We suppose it is of little use
to talk ubottt it, but if the hun-
dreds of readers (4111 good) who
o W ens little amounts, woUld
r e int either in stamps, money
or anything resembling mo-
ney,they will relieve our book-
keeper from a good deal of
anxiety and mental worry. W e
ate not begging; we only wont
you to convince us that you
have a little regard for your
honor. It is not riylit to allow
subscriptions to fall . behind
'and then compel' us to spend
valuable time and hard cash
in sending accounts for a year
or so before you pay the bill.
We want all who are indebted
to us to take this home to
themselves. It has no appli-
cation and is not intended for
those who are paid up.

AccWVENT.--On Monday 3Ir Jos.
Swaffreld broke some of the small
bones of his right foot by a heavy
stick of timber falling on it.
NONE HERE.—We notice that in
several towns around they are
troubled with typhoid fever. Clin-
ton is entirely free from any pesti-
lence of this nature, but our towns-
people should remember that "eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty."
A Goon DRIVE.—Saturday night
last Mr James Thompson arrived
at Stratford at about ten p. m. Of
course at this hour there was no
trtih for Clinton that night, and it
was imperative that he should get
home, so he went to a livery stable
and engaged a man to drive him up.
They arrived here at 4 a.m. Sunday.

The. attention of the street com-

It is bad enough to breed a pestil-

his son John, (now residing at
Londesboro,) for the sum of $8,080.

Mr H. Foster occupied the pulpit
of Rattenbury St. church, Sunday
morning last, and gave a very prac-
tical sermon from the words, "Who-
soever will come after me let him
take up his cross and follow me."
Mr Foster is such a rapid speaker
that he puts into a twenty minute
address what would take other men
twice that long to say. All who
bad the pleasure of listening to him
on Sunday prefitted by his pungent
remarks.
BAIT ACCIDENT. -- Mr Henry
Knott met with a bad accident the
other day,the result of pure thought-
lessness. He was in Downs' black
smith shop, and attempting to re-
move some obstructions from the
barrel of a loaded gun, put a hot
iron down the barrel, keeping his
Land in a line with its mouth. Of
coarse the gun was discharged, and
Mr Knott had his forefinger blown
off and the hand otherwise shattered.
GRAFTINM. FRAU I ys.--A Wawa -
nosh farmer writes a letter to the
Expositor and shows up the doings
" of a Yankee who went around in
the spring grafting trees. It seems
the fellow grafted a great deal more
than lie wastold to, and tried to
collect for it. This chap was written
up intim NEW ERA last spring, and
those who followed our caution no
doubt saved their money.
Loots OUT IN 'fl\rE.—Mr Searle
gives this piece of timely advice :—
"As the stormy season of the year
drawn near, I would remind .our
townspeople that there are some
badly crotcheted tines on the streets
in front of their lots, and if they
are pot attended to by putting bolts
through the crotch, the heavy winds
will split• them and they. will get
destroyed. The same advice applies
to fruit trees."
•
REGISTRATION OF LETTERS.—It
is understood that the Postmas ter -
General has decided not to enforce
in future the regulation under which
it has been required that the regis•
tration charge made in the case of
registered letters should be prepaid
by a special registration stamp.
Hereafter, therefore, any letter
posted for registration,bearing upon
it ordinary postage stamps of sufPi•
cient amount to cover the charge
for registration, in. addition to the
postage change, may be registered
and sent forward to its destination.
The charge will doubtless be appre-
ciated by country people, who.bave
heretofore in many cases suffered
inconvenience by being compelled
to go a long distance to obtain re-
gistration stamps.
COLLEGIATE INsTrTUTE,—Several
of the county papers have been say
ing some pretty hard things lately
concerning a statement sent out by
the trustees of Clinton Collegiate -
Institute, and the Seaforth Exposi-
tor willthis week publish a letter
from Mr .Turnbull, concerning the
matter. 'We habe not seen Mr
Turnball's explanation, but we are
satisfied that it will be satisfactory
to all reasonable persons.
SHOD DD BE LOOKED AFTER.—A
man badly. afflicted with palsy was
in town the'other day, and by his
actions on the streets, frightened
ladies who were under the necessity
of passing hire. If he has friends
.they should look after him, as he
should not be allowed on the streets
alon e,in his condition. We see it
stated that a man of this description
has been soliciting alms up north,
commenting on which an exchange
says that he is credited with being
comfortably .fixed, and not s under
any necessity of making these
periodical pilgrimages. We do not
know whether this applies to the
person who was here or not, but we
think it would be for his own bene-
fit if his friends. would look after
him,
LISTOWEI. CHURr'II TROCHE. E.—
The Listowel church difficulty is
still unsettled, a new I complication
having arisen. The programme
was that Rev Mr Nugent was to go.
to Corrie, Rev Mr Ayers from
Gerrie to Bluevale, arid Mr Mc-
Kibbin, of Bluevale, • to College.
The Bluevale people, who isaye only
just got nicely settled. down, object
to the removal of Mr McKibbin,
and thns the matter stands. In the
proposed settlement, the Special
Committee were exceedingly liberal,
perhaps, more of necessity than by
virtue. They gave the Listowel
church the privilege of inviting any
man in the conference,•the- Rev Mr
Livingstone' being barred. The
Listowel Banner says :—"Mean-
while the Listowel church is being
Supplied by Mr Treleaven, of Strat-
ford. Matters are likely to go on
this way until the end of the year,
when we are told that -it is probable
that Mr Livingstone will come' to
Listowel." It is not at all likely
that- Mr Livingstone will go to
Listowel at the end of the confer-
ence year. What he will do three
years hence is too. problematical 'to
speak about. Further than this,
the Listowel people now want Rev
Mr Howell. Truly matters are in
a nice mix.
Messrs J. C. Cole, Ephraim Butt,
Hiram Hill and J. Somerville were

ville, was in town on Tuesday, and
shows the effect of his recent' ail-
ment—inflammation of the bowels.
The NEW ERA subscription list is
splendidly on the increase. The
NEW ERA for 25 cents till New

Mrs John Craib, of Chicago, is on
a visit to her sister, Mrs H. B.
Proudfoot, who has just recently re-
turned after an absence of a couple
of months.
Messrs Cantelon Sc Steep shipped

ship, left on Tuesday, on a trip, to

We are sorry to learn that Mr
James Combe,jr.,.has been suddenly
taken seriously ill, but hope his
sickness may not prove either of
long duration or give rise to uneasi-
ness.

stitute, has been, on appeal, allowed

trary, notwithstanding.
A_ couple of weeks' since Mr J.
Worsell's second son fell off a hen

hurt at the. time, but its. injuries
were worse than supposed, and it
has been quite ill for several days.
Its speedy recovery is hoped for.
Mr Chas. Girvin, of West Wawa -
nosh, was married on Wednesday.
This is riot the Chas. Girvin who
kas "been going to do it" for so
long, but a most worthy son. Our
old and esteemed friend should not
allow his sons to get the start of
him.
Our employees remember with
pleasure the visit of Mr Joseph
Townsend, of Tucker•amith, to this
office, on Monday, be having left
a basket of splendid eating apples.
We have a cordial welcome on hand
for all who wish to distinguish
themselves in like manner.

NEWSPAPERS AND NEWSPAPER
MEN.—The Woodstock Standard
shows undoubted signs of prosperity,
only the other day the foreman of
the office was married, and since
that the editor has followed suit; as
this is leap year perhaps some of
the lady compositors on the staff
will also embrace their privileges.
The following,from the legal reports
of the Toronto dailies, has a special
interest to tho fraternity in Huron.
Mr Jenkins has certainly only him-
self to blame for the punishment
meted out to him :—"Before Judge
McMahon, sitting in single court,
i\lr A. 13. Aylesworth moved to
commit A. N. Newton Jenkins,
editor of The Brussels Budget, for
contempt of court. The application
is made at the instance of Mr Grant,
the post master at Brusgels,wbo has
brought an action for libel against
the defendant, claiming $10,000.
The defendant in his newspaper
charged the plaintiff with several
grave offences in his official capacity,
and private character,and continued
in each issue of his paper to com-
ment upon the matter after it wap
sub judice. An appeal was made
to Judge Rose for an interim in-
junction to restrain the defendant
from publishing ccmments on the
case before r the trial, which was
granted. In defiance of the order
of the court, Jenkins continued to
abuse the post -roaster in the col-
umns of his paper, and the plaintiff
accordingly applied to the court to
punish the defendant for refusing to
obey Judge Rose's injunction. Tl.e
trial will be held at Goderich at the
next assizes. In the meantime
Judge McMahon decided that the
editor should spend the next thirty
days in the common jail of Huron
County for his contempt, and like
wise pay all the costs of the I r?sent
proceedings.
HIGHER PRiCES RIR GRAIN. --
The foreign wheat market is strong,
and prices advancing. This will be
great news for the farmers of Cana-
da, as the aggregate surplus of that
cereal alone in the. Dominion this
year is away up so far in the mil-
lions that it makes one dizzy to
think of, let alone compute the
amount. What benefits the agri-
cultural population will help all
classes and industries. Wheat has
reached $1.05 per bushel, and if it
remains- steady at that figure or
even better, it means good times fer
the country, and will enable thou-
sands to meet old obligations and
give 1•urchasing power to others.
This country being so largely de-
voted to farming, the price of grain
is watched here with the sante in-
terest that other lands have in the
demand of manufactured goods or
products of the soil peculiar to their
climate and conditions. All things
being considered,•putting the higher
price against the shortage in some
districts, tho season of 1(83 will
not be so disastrous as many an-
ticipated a few weeks ago.
