Some very fop; imitations of 25 cent Secowere ound on them, and the evidence ahowing that some of these bad been passed. the magistrates felt' justified in committing them to Goderich jail for trial. The parties all claim that they got the bad money in change for good, and were not aware of it being bad. This may be true, ""but the coin is such a wretched imitation that a man could tell it with his eyes shut. FooTIMLL.—A very exciting game of football was played on the Colle. giate Institute grounds,last Saturday, between a picked team from Varna, Bayfield, Porters Hill and Goderich township and the Collegiate Institute club. A dispute took place before the game comtnenced, Varna object- ing to Dallas and Downing playing with Clinton, as they had been out of town for a few weeks. Clinton boys claimed that, as they had played in every match for the last six months, and are still members of the team, their objection was not valid, but rather than lose team practice offered to play with ten men. However, the Varna men at last agreed to play, providing they were given another match with residents of Clinton only, which was agreed to, and the game started. Play commenced about 3.30 and lasted till 5 o'clock. In the first half time the play was pretty even, neither side having much advantage until the time was nearly up, when Whitemore succeeded in scoring for Clinton. When play was commenced again both sides went to work, Clin- ton again showing their superiority over the unions and scored three more goals to the unions' two, thus winning the game by 4 goals to 2. The Modelites were defeated last Monday by the Victoria Juniors, on Collegiate Institute grounds; score, 2 goals to none. f.tttle 'meal Icarus. re te, sr., ja v t frit/Ode at of Chat taken sr slighdv � e higher prieeof 'she, Aboilt 250 tickets Were cold at C�. iptott ►%iOR'iMen ,, fo Londoir' t'hia !fire . �, �, �„ >rl~1r Eyana;}�i►kar,haadiacpntiiQuRd bileiael iheroatid takep.a gitii '.too in St• Mays. - f Mian:.lellia, of IKippen, bas; diet .tjm,,guest" of Mrs: ,T, antes' avingilone, (or tjeveral day;., a 'Mr. John Junor has the -job of painting Mr Malcolm DfeEwen'a new house in Stanley.

Morrison was placed uhder arrest, on Thursday evening, on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. After spending the night in a cell, be next morning proved to the satisfaction of the magistrate he was neither drunk or disorderly, and be was, therefore, acquitted. HORSE LOST.—On Friday evening Mr Stephen Gray, of Hullett, had just got outside of town, on bis way home, when one of his horses took sick and dropped down. It was brought back into town where it died. It was worth $200, and the loss is severe to Mr Gray, as it is the second one that has died this year. NEW Pon OFFICE.—Commencing on the let of October a daily mail willbe carried to Herbison, a new office that has been established at the house of Mr W. 'Herbison, who will be the postmaster. Persons in Gode- rich township who wish their papers changed to that office, will please notify us to that effect. WELE DONE.—Mr W. Doherty'e driving mare secured thi,d prize in her class, at the Toronto Industrial. This is all the more noteworthy be- cause of the large field she had to compete against, 36 in all, and some of the very finest horses in Canada being her competitors. She was sold to a gentleman from Montreal, for the sum of $550. PASSED ON THE ROAD.—A few days eince Mr Jas Scott, librarian,re- cei'ved word that his daughter, Mrs Holden,of Merrickville,would shortly come up on a visit. Day after day passed without her arrival, and Mrs Scott finally concluded to go as far as Toronto, thinking she might meet her there, and left by the morning train. • The afternoon train brought Mrs Holden, each passing the other on the road. It was just 18 years since Mrs Holden had visited her parents. A YOUTHFUL DANCER.—A rather remarkable sight was witnessed at Hanlan's Point one night while the Citizens' Band was playing one of their pretty waltzes. A cute little toddler of three years old whose parents looked on delighted, and who had been taught the mazy dance, stepped out alone and went through the waltz movement in perfect time.— Toronto News.—[This youthful danc- er is a son of Mr Will Scott, printer, formerly of Clinton, and grandson of Mr James Scott, Librarian.] TEACHERS'.

H. Mountcastle, pencil in hand, sketching the prize cattle for her next Academy picture, in this respect imitating the famous Rosa Bonheur, and we hope before many years have passed to find her rivaling the great masters. We were greatly pleased at the kind attention shown her by the keepers, who held their animals and showed them oft to the best advantage while she painted. RETURNED. — Mayor Whitehead and wife returned from their trip to Manitoba, last week. He states that they enjoyed themselves well and found the farmers in good spirits generally. So far as he could learn the frost had only affected late sown grain! that which was pat in early invariably escaping the frost. A good deal of anxiety prevailed as to the intention of Cleveland to enforce hie retaliation measures, as it would very materially affect the Red River Valley railroad, but the general im- pression was that retaliation would be nothing more than an election dodge. "HEAPS ori+ FUN."—Business men and others clown towards Fair's mill had "more fun than a side show," on Friday morning. Three men were trying to lift a fat pig into a waggon, and just when they would get its snout or front feet into the box, the brute would wiggle out of their grasp and fall to the road. This was re- peated several times and while those who lined the street laughed till several suspenders gave way, the men kept at their task until they succeed- ed, and then two of them had to lie down on his hogebip to prevent him rolling over the side. The "hog"' that sailed into the clouds the night before was the best behaved of the two. Local Church Chimes. Rev Mr Anderson, of Goderich,and Rev Mr Stewart, exchanged pulpits on Sunday. i Mr James Young supplied for Rev John Gray,at Kincardine on Sunday owing to the latter's illness. The Women's Mission Society o the Guelph Conference, Methodis church, will meet' in Guelph nex week. The representatives from Rat tenbury St. church will be Mrs Det lor,Mrs Hodgens and Miss Robinson From Ontario St. church, Mrs H Andrews. Rev A. McKibbon, the esteeme Methodist pastor of Bluevale, was visitor to town, on Friday; was it singular coincidence that he shoul "happen" to be here just at the sem time as a very popular young lad from Kippen, near where he wa formerly stationed. •Archie,' "straw show, &c." The Methodist church has lost on of its earliest pioneer ministers i Rev Henry Lenton, who died i Hamilton on Friday. Deceased en tered the ministry in the old land i 1837. In 1838 be came- to Canada This person will be remembered b some Cli.ntonians, he having supplie the pulpit of Rattenbury St. church in 1881, during the absence of Rev D G. Sutherland in Egypt. ,The Dungannon correspondent o the Goderich Star, thus alludes to the visit of Mrs Detlor and Rev J Edge to that place:—"Their addresse were in every respect most commend able—they bad hot the fault tha most missionary speeches have, tha of being full of foolish anecdotes, bu were full of sound common sense.' The Signal correspondent at the Nil says:—"The addresses were among the best ever heard on a missionary platform in Nile." The Mitchell Advertiser says:— "On Sunday, The Rev Mr Living atone, of Clinton, preached two elo quentsermons, one in the morning and one in the evening. The Rev Mr Livingstone has a fine cultivated voice, every word he utters comes forth clear and distinct—one of those silver voices, filled with pleasing harmony, which delights the ear and charms the senses, and which we are always pleased to listeu If "A Methodist"who writes in the News -Record criticising the NEW ERA'S remarks concerning the Listo- wel church difficulty, only knew as much as he thinks he does, his letter would never have been written. He proves everything that we have stat- ed concerning the details of the matter. He is wrong, however when be asserts that "the comments of the Era about 'beating the Stationing Committee' are incorrect and untrue, for it is not a case in which the church is trying to 'beat," and we will prove be is wrong, The station- ing committee sent Mr Nugent there with the understanding that he was to etay therefor a year at any rate, and some of the members did what very few people are aware of', they guaranteed his salary. The people refused to recognize Mr Nugent as their pastor and they stood out until they effected a compromise. Before this was accomplished Rey Dr Grif° fin offered the Listowel people almost any choice they wanted. Was not this a case of "beating the Stationing committee?" If our censor thinks not, let him ask any Methodist minister or any member of Listowel Quarterly board. And for"a Methodist"to say that the Listowel people could have, got Mr Howell in June if they bad wanted him,ehows how little he knows about the difficulty. As a matter of fact, the:"difficulty" is so great yet that the Special Committee do not know• how to settle it, and we have actually heard ministers express plea- sure at the dilemma that the Station- ing Committee has placed itself in by the perverse stupidity of a few of its members. "A Methodist" need not waste his sympathy on our Methodist readers. Perhaps we know the views of them better than he does • • >4fr E.Tighe, of the Moulton House, Bay City, has been ou a visit to. re- lativea in Hullett, We are pleased to know that.Mr John Plewes, so badly hurt recently, is now able to sit up.

In the stallion trot at the Western Fair this week, John Beacom's Ton- tine was second in the list. Mrs Gallagher. (daughter of Mrs Duncan,) leaves in a few days to join her husband at Vancouver, B. C. Mrs Geo. Swarts and her daughter- in-law, Mrs Ed Swarte, have gone on a visit to Mrs E. Doherty, Hamilton. The town council will . meet on Monday evening next. Several mat- ters of interest are likely to come up, Mrs Redmond is offering her house for sale, with a view of moving to Winnipeg. It is a good central pro- perty. Mr Lu Ssevens goes to Minneapolis this week, where be enters ou the duties of Assistant -Secretary for the Y. M. C. Messrs Junor & McIver, of town, have just completed the brickwork of a fine house for Mr Thos.

Chris. D i ckson,Cl i nton Every farmer should attend the sale of R.Barkwell's Londesboro farm and village lots. They will be sold at Spooner's hotel, Clinton, on Saturday, Sept. 29th, at 1 o'clock. Mr Watson, editor of the Blyth Standard, was a caller at the NEW ERA on Wednesday. We forgave him all his past misdeeds, and gave him the right hand of fellowship. Mr W. Shier, of Marlette, Mich., spent a couple of days with old friends in this vicinity this week. He states that the summer weather has been even drier over there than here, but crops have been fairly good. Conductor Mason,of Teeswater,who was killed at Toronto last week, was a prominent Free Mason, and Mr Walter Coats, who had belonged to the same lodge as he, attended the funeral; on Sunday. Mr Jas. Irving, train despatcher on the Southern Pacific, with head- quarters at Los Angeloe,.Cel.,is home on a visit. He looks well and speaks in glowing terms of that place. The boom that prevailed there for some lime, has flattened out considerably— after the real estate sharks had made all they could out of it. BAYFIELD . MAIL ROUTE.— Else- where will be found a letter concern- ing the new mail route to Bayfield, in reply to the one that appeared three weeks eince. This letter was intend- ed for publication last week, but was crowded out. CONVICTIONS.—The list of Magis- terial Convictions in the county, for the quarter ending Sept. 11, foot up a total of 83. Of these 35 were by Goderich Magistrates (hard place, Goderich) 11 by Seatorth, only 4 by Clinton (note the morality of the Hub) 3 by Wingham, 7 by Blyth,and the rest scattered. Seven of the con- victions were for illegal selling of li- quor. The fines imposed amounted to $281. The most of the fines, how- ever, are 31 ones, and we think magistrates make a mistake in the majority of cases, when they only in- flict a penalty of "$1 and costs," be- cause, in cases of drunken and disor- derly conduct, the fine of $5 would act as a deterent to others. West Huron Farmers' Institute. During the summer it was decided by the officers of the Institute to hold a fall meeting for the discussion of Commercial Union. The president was instructed to ask any Reform speakers he wished, and the secretary was to ask Conservatives. Messrs John Charlton, M. P., and Dr Mc- Donald, M. P.,consented to speak on behalf of Commercial Union, but so far no other speakers 1 ave been se- cured. Mr Porter was written to, but we understand that he declined to speak at the time set, as he ex- pected to visit the constituency this fall, and hold a number of meetings, 'rhe date fixed for the meeting at Dungannon, is Friday, Oct.19, speak- ing to commence at 2 p. m,, and we notice by the Goderich Star that Mr Porter expects to meet some of his constituents on that date, so that he must have concluded to be present. At any rate the meeting will be held on ,rho day mentioned, and the speakers mentioned are expected to be present, • What About Your 111Fal CLOTHING 1 W,0 are now filled to overflowing with the most complete stock too be found in this section, and it only needs • a visit to confirm our statements.
