admit that the NEW ERA is the local pa-

we ported the finding of the body of any per -
sen in the territory named who has died
without relatives or friends, or that re-
mains unclaimed by any person entitled

sion of such body and deals with it as
directed by the Act.

MATRIMONIAL.—,Mr. F. S. Booth and
Mies M. R. Kerr were married at the
• house of the b'ride's mother, on Wednes-
day. Both have been residents of Clinton
for a long time, and have earned the good

teachers and the Young People's Christian
Work Association, loses -two of its oldest
and most active members. They left on
their wedding tour by the morning train.
Mr. Booth purposes going to British
Columbia, and should he like it,will settle
there. We do not think that section bolds
out any' better inducements than may be
found nearer at band, but our very best
wishes nevertheless accompany them.
BRIEFS.—The Court of Revision sat for
the consideration of appeals against the
assessment ,roll last night. The officers
of the Salvation -Army, and others, at-
tended the army services at Seaforth, on
Tuesday,' where a welcome e as tendered
, Staff -Sergeant Phillpot, who succeeds Mr

street church is being pushed forward.
The Bay City correspondent of tbe Cana-
diareAmerican Says: "The chief clerk-

Ont.; through bis genial qualities the

nadians and others." Mr David Cantelon,
who is home from the ,northwest, reports
vegetation well advanced in that region,
and the prospects good. Mrs Henry
Steep is visiting relatives in the country.•
Mr James Young is repairing his house
and making it "just as good as new."
.Almost a " building mania" appears to
have struck Clinton this year, for there is
more work going on in the shape of im-
provements and new buildings, than for
many a year past. Mrs• Will Shipley,
who bas been spendingthe winter in the
• (southern States, for• the benefit of her
health, starts for home on Monday next,

Was working -in the tailor shop of Mr 4*
Fischer;'up stairs, a lamp exploded, and
before it could be put out, had.done con-
siderable. damage.... The explosion'of two
lamps in the choir of Rattenbury street
church, and the falling of the sexton down
N a short flight of stairs, rather disturbed
for the moment the equanimity of the
• ening service, on Sunday. It is report-
edthat a boy who has been residiug in
town has ran away from home, because
his employer was opposed to him joining
the Salvation Army. A letter, comment-
ing on the actions of one of the Goderich
township eouncillord,.cannot be published
unless the name of the writer is sent to
this office. While it'hailed in one part of
the town on Sunday last, it rained in an-
other, and in still another part of the town
it neither rained or hailed, but remained
as hot as blazes." The infant child of
Mt John Davin died in convulsions, on
Saturday. Wm. Broderick, late of this
town, has accepted a situation as traveller
for McCaffrey, White & Co., madufactur•
erg, Bradford, England ; he may make a
good traveller, but he will require to at-
tend to business more than he did when
here. Says the Expositor :—" Mr Giffin

A Hot Weather Suit
FOR
We have placed in our Ready Made Clothing Department, t
Hot Weather suit for $4.75, comprising a Seersucker Coat and
Vest and Halifax Tweed Pants. We doubt if such value fur la,
light suit has ever been ofered in the county, and we would
urge an early inspection, as the quantity is limited.
The Seersucker goods were purchased in Toronto at half the
usual price, and this accounts for our being able to offer such
a wonderfully low priced suit. Remember the suit is manufac-
tured by ourselves, and equal to ordered work.
