KEIt1Lor.—The \they <lay an active young business man `sprangjauntily into his sleigh, which stood at the door of his shop, and dropped on the seat without gathering the lines off the dash board; the horse started quickly, so suddenly that the merchant was thrown backwards 'over the seat,taking a somersault before he could say "Jack Robinson." - Hopi( E8vILLE SCHOOL HotTSE.—Ten- ders were opened here last week for the erection of a brick school house at Holmes- 'lle, and the contract awarded to Messrs.

The free use of the town hall was granted the Oddfellows for their benefit concert. Ontario street church was granted the use of part of William street for build- ing purposes, ' ' AN ICE STou:1r.—Part of Sunday and'al day Monday a mean arirzling rain fell,and as it froze while it fell, soon everything was coated with ice. The telegraph and telephone wires gradually sack beneath the increasing weight of ice and finally numbers of t,liem snapped, until no less ' than ten telephone wires in town were down. while communication by telegraph w-as-ont of the question for the same rea- son. The trees presented a gorgeous ap- pearance so long as they. could hear the weight of the ice, hot they present a clelapidated bed; now that enormous branches, and in Eowo cases the entire tree, has given away to the pressure on it, On Monday evening, after the rain ceased, the crashing of the trees could be heard in all directions, and the sound of the ice and .'branches crushing together made a roar that would be startling if its cause was unknown. 'file streets were like a street of glass, and many a pedestrian sat down without any regard to the rules of etirltiette or good breeding. Many of those retiring from the anniversary services in Willis church found locomotion exceed- ingly difftcult,and one lady who happened to be going home without a male escort, actually sat down on the ice, took her shoes off, and walked home in her stock- ing feet as the only safe way that she could manage it. ('fin Tuesday the rain again descended in for rents,this timewith- out any frost accompaniment, and as a Consequence streets and cellars were flooded. Singularly the roads are not in as bad n condition as one would expect to.Tnd there after so much rain, and there is still good sleighing. MINOR BRIEFS.—The backbone of win- ter sags a little. but don't flatter yourself that it's broken. There is a great demand for arms in Europe; so there has beeu -here' ever since the sleighing season be- gan. Every Liberalassociation in the county should now be in thorough good working order. Mr. -.Allanson is cutting large quantities of ice, of superior quality. variety is the spice of life;' -existence surely does not ladle for seasoning, so far as the weather is concerned. this winter; fourteen changes a week is decidedlyspicy. Division Court will be held on the P.5th day of they resent month. After one more issue of the NEW ERA we will be able to settle down to home news; in the -mean- time politics is the all absorbing topic. It is rumored that detective McCarthy, well known in Clinton, has left the G. T. R. service through some misunderstanding with the heads of his department. The nomination for the South will be held at Seaforth ; for the West at Goderieh, and for the East at Gerrie. r BRIEFS.—Mr. Thos. East has disposed of all the bricks held over from last year, to parties who contemplate building this year. No less than six tramps have been accommodated with lodgings in the town hall during the past week ; it is not the best weather in the world to be out in. Mr: --Dave--Birks; formerly--a-•-student-at. Clinton High School, is now teaching at Bracebridge. The Globe says that at the last meeting of Knox College Literary Society "an excellently written and thoroughly appreciative and appreciated essay on William Pitt," was read by Mr. Mark C. Rumball. The other day a mer- chant in town took a burning stick out of a stove in his store and laid it down on one of the back steps, no doubt intending to put the fire out ; the stick was forgotten and burned the' steps clean through. By an oversight one night last week the water in the steam pipesat the Organ Factory wag not turned off, and during the night some of the pipes froze and burst, one "Trustees-may--rest•assured *room• beingaPlig fly flooded when the men ood job, as all Clinton came to work next mot i'h'g."Our-readers- ly work of that de- should remember the free .concert to be given in the town hall. by the Oddfellows, next Tuesday evening; the programme will be goodand unobjectionable ; the committe has decided to"liand the pro- ceeds over to the Mayor for disbursal. Mr P. W.: „Hayward; who recently suffered from a reletpse, was able to be out on Sat- urday. Mia. Cole, relict of the late Dr ole, is very ill. Miss Bishop, a former teater in .our Public School, is here visiti ' fridtds. A boy named Cole was arrested -on -Monday, -charged with stsal ins a,h:tnd-sleigh from in front of Dick - son's store; the charge -being sustained,he was sentenced to twenty-four hours in the lock-up. The Otteson family have re- moved from town ; we extend our sym- pathies to the, 'place where they have gond to reside. - The falling of a limb or altree on Huron St., on Monday, evening frightened a horse attached to a cutter, and--thcr'horse, running away, threw the occupants out on the road ; we did not learn who they were, or how much they were hurt. Mr. Thos. Greig, of Ripley, who, being on the sick list, was spending a few days among friends here,returned to his work on Tuesday. It is rumored that a very popular young minister in the county will shortly tie a Gordon knot that will remain' tied for life ; and this rumor is not so fresh that it requires • a little salt -on to keep it. Mrs. Greig, of Picker- ing, is visiting friends here. Reeve'Mc- Murchie turned out on Tuesday morning and worked like a Trojan in opening some of the drains, so that the town would not be held responsible for damage done to cellars by flooding. Miss Sheppard, mil• liner at Beesley's, was called away on Tuesday by the death .of a -cousin in Deleware township. Mr. P. Craib, who has resided in town for several years, ha's decided on removing to Chicago to better his circumstances, and will dispose of his household effects by auction, prior to his removal. Miss Grace Robertson is visit- ing at Rev. ,Mr. Parkes, Blyth. A meet ing of parties -going to the west in the spring, will shortly be held at the (Grand Union. Messrs Robert and John King left for Shoal `Lake, Man,, on Monday, taking tickets from Thompson's agency. The Fleischman Yeast Co. free Baking School is attended by a 'number of ladies daily; it is a capital way of advertising agood article, Miss Lizzie Correll is now able to be up. Mr, Smt"ith, Police Magic- trate, Gerrie, ltd several more panes of glass broken i , his store windows, on Saturday; such ..escality, while annoying, only strengthe.is temperance sentiment.— The C PR, ex'. ibition car will be here all day on the 171h inst; it has a number of new features attached this time, British Columbia products being also represented.
