A NARRow ESCAPE. -Recently
while Mrs A. W. Carslake, of this
town, was on her way to Taunton,
Mass., the train she was on was pro-
ceeded by a freight train, which was
wrecked by tramps placing obstruct-
ions on the track, and three men
killed. The supposition is that the
tramps thought the express train was
first, and calculated to rob and plun-
der during the excitement that would
follow.
A Bin SALE.—A good crowd at-
tended the sale of Mr Thos. Mason's
stock, on the base line, on Tuesday,
and splendid prices were realized,
six cows sold for over $50 each ; year •,
tinge at $25, and other stock in pro-
portion, the sale realizing about $15-
000. The hammer was wielded by
those popular auctioneers, Messrs.
Dickinson and Howson, who evident-
ly know how to get the best prices
for the article they sell.
A Haavv Loss.—Mr H. J. Hibbs'
arrived home on Monday, but sustain-
ed a heavy loss at Stratford. It will
be remembered alit one of his im-
ported horses took sick at Boston,
and he remained there with it, when
the horse got well enough to move he
started for home with it, but the an•
imal died at Stratford. It was a
valuable animal, and we have not
heard whether it was insured or
otherwise. Mr Hibbs brought another
horse with him.
SCHOOL TRUSTEE ELECTION.—The
Public School Trustees who retire
this year are Messrs Jas. Thompson,
John Cunninghame, W. C. Searle
and H. Steep, all of whom are eligible
for re-election. Nomination for
these positions will be held on the
26th, and the election on the 2nd of
January. If these persons do not
wish re-election, substitutes for them
should be selected without opposition
or these gentlemen unanimously re-
elected if they will stand, as the office
of trustee, important as it may be, is
not important enough to cause a con-
test for the unremunerative position.
TRAMPS.—One night last week
three aged tramps spent a night in
the lock up, they wanted the Mayor
to commit them to Goderich, but he
said they would soon fill thejail if all
the tramps were sent there: On Sat-
urday night three young' men, who
looked to be good for any amount of
hardwork, and were better dressed
than some of' our men, asked for and
obtained shelter and provision for the
night.. The council should provide a
few cords of wood and make such
fellows earn their board, by sawing
the wood.
THE LAW WILL SETTLE IT.—SOL;

went into partnership,for the purpose
of speculating in produce; we believe
that no writings were drawn between
them, but it was publicly presumed
they were in' partnership. When the
apple bp(nese began they still work-
ed toggether, though, MI: Steep claims
that was not in partnership at
this time, and was simply working on
a saary. On the other hand Mr
Cant lon claims that the partnership
still existed, and that Mr Steep to
all intents and purposes was still in
the firm. As they are not able to
settle this point amicably, and a con-
siderable sum is involved in the dis-
pute, Mr Cantelon has entered a suit
to settle the matter,
AHEAD AS USUAL.—Although there
are five papers located nearer the
scene of the recent terrible calamity
in Morris, whereby five persons lost
their life, than the NEW ERA, there
was not one of them with enterprise
enough to publish a full report of the
affair, and the NEW ERA outstripped
them all, having the only report that
was in detail and giving anything
like a full account of the affair. It is
a compliment to our reporter that
even newspaper men spoke of the
report as being such a good one.
The NEW ERA never takes a second
place in the race for important news,
Towle COUNCIL,—The Ontario
Legislature having passed an act re-
quiring that a Financial statement of
receipts and expenditures for the
yoar, be submitted to each municipal
council on the 15th of December, a
special meeting of the Town Council
was held on Saturday night, and the
report submitted by Deputy Reeve
Manning; It will be found in another
tiolamn. The council ordered that
200 copies of it be printed. Any
ratepayers who wish them, can secure
them of the clerk. The council also.
ordered the payment of the balance
due Wheatley and Steep for gravel.
The Finance Committee asked for the
payment of the Treasurer's salary of
$100, which was passed. Mr P.
Cantelon asked for -remission of taxes
on an unoccupied frame building, re-
ferred to the Court of Revision.

a FIRE INSIDE AND OCT.—It is re-
ported that a certain person well
known to Clintonians recently visited
a hotel in the northern part of the
county, and started to bed consider-
ably the worse of liquor. He under-
took to smoke cigar in bed, throw-
ing the stub out on the floor. It will
take considerable to rebuild the
room, and the man will need some
new clothes, riles
RETURNED ,—• Mr Adam Cantelon,
brother of Mr Adam Cantelon, town,
who has been iu the northwest forthe
past seven years, returned home yes-
terday to spend Christmas with his
friends. He is postmaster at Lorlie,

ther D. J. The boys also run a farm
of 640 acres. Dame rumor says that
Mr Cantelon won't return to Manito-
ba alone. We notice here, also, an
old Clintonian from Dakota in the
person of Mr Geo Farrow
DEATH.—As mentioned in these
columns last week, Mr Hugh Mc-
Donald received a telegram announc-
ing the death of his son Benjamin,J.,
at Little Rock, Arkansas, and pre-
parations accordingly were made for
the fu4eral, the body arriving here
on Friday evening. The coroner's
certificate accompanying the body
was made out to different initials
than that of the deceased, and was
forwarded to another than the father
of deceased, and a little confusion
was occasioned thereby, but as there
was no doubt about the identity of
deceased, the remains were interred
in the family burial plot at Turner's
Cemetery.
CHRISTMAS FAT CATTLE Snow,—
The interest taken in ,this exhi-
bition last Saturday was not such as
was anticipated, due to several caus-
es. In dressed poultry Mrs Thos.
Fear, of Hullett, had evidently her
own way, and Mr A. Couch was the
same in cattle. In fat heifers A.
Couch took 1st and 2nd, and 1st for
fat steel also 1st and 2nd for fat calves
and for fat cows. In fat sheep and
fat lambs Mr Couch took 1st and 2nd,
four entries in the latter class. In
dressed .trkeys there were three ent•
ries, sik,iik geese, four in ducks, and
two in chickens, Mrs Fear taking 1st
and 2nd in each class. In dressed
rabbits there were four entries, . Mr
Couch taking 1st and 2nd, as also 1st
for butter. The judges were Mr R.
McLean, Goderich ; Mr Jas Petty,
Hensall ; Mr W. Fowler, Seafortb.
In Mrs Fear's collection was a dressed
turkey that wesghed 24 lbs, and she
sold her assortment for something ov-
er $20. •
