Clinton New Era. --Recently, while cleaning up the room occupied by the late James Stavely,'some of his cloth- ing was thrown outside with tneinten- tion that it would be taken away with other. rubbish. A pair of pants fell in- to the hands of a family in town, who. concluded that they would wash them and then cut them up for carpet rags. while this was being done a small roll of cloth was found in ona pocket, which on being unwound, was found to be a bank deposit receipt $800. al 1 TriviaMemorial. Church., Over five hundred people visited the Trivitt Memorial Church on the Queen's birthday, which spews that the public interest in this beautiful building. hap not in the least abated. The whole he Church is a pure specimen of early h English architecture, solid in construe - tion, chastic in design and perfect in detail, The open timbered' hammer. c' beam roof, of the style of Richard II n with its clustered corbel supports, is an it object of great attraction, ::whilst the chancel window is one of the finest d- specimens of modern stained :glass of painting. The bells and ehi.ming ap- paratus in the tower are also always d subjects of great interests. From the s- top of the tower, which is ascended; by - easy flights of stairs, a charming. pan - it oramic view of the town and surround - o ing country is obtained, well worth the ascent. The donations kindly placed n on the plate in the vestibute, amounted n to $15 80, which was applied towards 1 Mr. Greenwood's bill of $25 for repair e ing, regulating and tuning the organ (which greatly needed it) the balance y being readily' made up by Mr Trivitt. 1 Granny,' Willis is Dealt. Again it is our mournful duty to chronicle the departure from our midst Exeter's oldest and'' much respected - resident, in the'person of Mrs. Jane Willis, (relict of the late James Willis). who died on Tuesday morning last at • the advanced:, age of 90 years. She has been a very, hardy' woman and enjoyed the best of health almost up to the time 8 of her' death.' She went to' bed on Mon- ' day evening in her usual good health - showing nc signs of ailment; but on Tuesday morning on going to her room the inmates of the house noticed a change in the o1,1 lady and that she was in a 1undfof stupor unable to speak or move, Medical aid was summoned but was of no avail she gradually pined away; and consequently death claimed her. Deceased was a native of Ireland and came with her husband to this country in the year ' 1832 and located on Lot 20, London Road survey Usborne, and were the first settlers with in its present limits—and indeed the first between the point where the' Lon: don Road left the township of London and its point of junction with the.Hu- ron Road, where Clinton 'now `stands. The log house built by Mr. Willis was the first man's habitation in a';section of country extending over 20 miles in every direction from this ceLtre One remarkable incident that occurred in Mrs. Willis' early life while here is worthy of note. On an occasion dur- ing' her husband's absence, Mrs. 'Willis was roasting a piece of vension over. the fire on the hearth The door of the shanty was open and while she was in the act of changing the position" of. the ";:oast" `a monstrous grey wolf bounded into the apartment quiek; riglightning Snatched the savory morsel from her hands, and as quickly disap- peared with its prize, leaving the vie, tim of the robbery to compose her ruf- fled nerves and meditate on the selfish- ness of the denizens of our Canadian forests, She leaves to mourn her de- mise four sons and two daughters, The funeral takes place to day,(Thurs day) at 2 o'clock for Exeter cemetery, We 'sympathize with the be d family, t:. —Some light bread was seized in Parkhill last week. by the • chief con- stable and confiscated. The by-laws require that all bread (except fancy bread) sold or offered for sale in town shall be in loaves of one, two or four pounds weight. Owners of lawns in town are much annoyed at the'depredations of evening marauders, who without mercy ste their flowers.
