TELEGRAPH OFFICE.—The Canadian Pacific Telegraph office, in Jackson's Bros store, is now open for the transaction of businers. The office is in share of M. Wagner,.late of Tavistock. RAILWAY MEE'renne--A meeting of the rilway committee, and all others inter. esied herein, will be held in the Council Chamber on Monday evening next. Busi- ness:3 of importance will come before the meeting, and it is urgently desired that ScAnon.—So many self binders are in use this season that the demand for twine has been much greater than anticipated, and farmers experience great difficulty in getting all that js wanted. Last Friday there wasinot a partiele to be had in town, and the agents of different machines, who had been doing their utmost to meet the emergency, were in desperate straits be- cuuse they could not then do so. We be• lieve the" famine" has been partially but not entirely raised. BE GOT IT JUST THE SAHE. -- Some time ago the NEW ERA mentioned, on un- doubted authority. that Mr H. G. Warner. a conductor on the L., H. & B., had drawr $15,000 in a Luuisanna lottery. Later on tbe report was contradicted, on the authority, apparently, of Mr Warner, who had been nested with enquiries con- cerning the money, and the contradiction was circulated far and wide.' We don* ed the truth of the contradiction at the time, but the•matter dropped. until Tues- day last, when it was revived by the same conductor boasting on his train that he had received the money. CREAMERIES.—Mr J W Ilrowniug,Pro- vincialCreamery Inspector, was in town on Tuesday, having just completed the inspection of the Londeshoro Creamery, and being on his way to inspect Herbison's. Goderich township. He states that there is a very general desire all over the Pro- vince for the establishment of additional creameries, and this fall will see arrange- ments completed for the commencement of a number next spring. There are more creameries in Huron, Bruce and Grey than in all the rest of the Province put together. He speaks flatteringly of the product of the Londesbro Creamery and its management. there be a large attendance. Busruess NEWSPAPER NOTES.—Mr E J Leaven- sren of all kinds should make a note of worth, (brother-in-law of R Holmes,) has this and be on hand. become sole proprietor of the St. Cathar- APOLOGY.—If the NEW ERA isnot this week up to its usual standard, the heart- rending circumstances narrated elsewhere, is the only apology we can offer for it. Human strength gives out under heavy affliction, and we are only human. At the same time we must express our deep gratitude to one and all for the sympathy and kindness shown us in this dark hour. CROP Norns.—Mr Thos Churchill, of the 10th con. Godericb township, cut about 85 acres of hay this year, and he thinks it will yield a pod ton and a half to the acre. Mr Thornton Wallace, of Hullett, cut about half this amount, with a similar yield to the acre. Farmers com- menced cutting t,arley Pally last week,and are now busy with both wheat and barley. OFF TO THE OLD COUNTRY. --On Sat- urday last, Messrs John Avery, P McGre- gor and Isaac Rattenbury, left for the old country'. The two first named take over their cattle, about 125 bead, and all will govern themselves in buying stock or not, beforestheir return. Mr John Hunter, of the London road, took a load ot cattle at the same time to Montreal, for Mr Goven- lock. COMMITTED. — On Tucsd.'y a yoling man named Sipple, of Zurich, was brought here on a charge of beating an old man of that locality named Kirvan. Sipple, it seems, stands charged with being connected with the Steinbach rob- bery, at Zurich, and in the preliminary examination Kirvan gave evidence against him. Sipple being out on bail took ad- vantage of the opportunity and thrashed Kirvan. Police Magistrate Williams committed Sipple to stand Ms trial. SCOTT .ACT CASEs.—P. M. Williams tried a case against H. Peine, of Zurich, on Friday last, and one against W. Mof- fatt, of Centralia, in both of which a fine of $50 and costs was imposed. Mr James Scott, Clinton apperred •for the prosecu- tion. For cruelty to a horse—a very aggravated case—Mr Williams sentenced ?dr Clark, of Exeter, to two mouths in jail. A case for alleged violation of the Scott Act against J. P. Fisher, of Auburn, was trier) on Monday, but adjourned at the request of the prosecution, to bring farther evidence.

The newspaper and print- ing business is almost hereditary in the Leavenworth and Holmes families, for Mr Leavenworth's grandfather, father and two uncles all belonged to the eraft, while each of his three sisters married one of the same trade, and on our own side a rather and uncle were each publishers. Mr Leavenworth, sr, published the third p tper issued in old Upper Canada —The Brussels Pnst bas entered upon its 15th volume. The Post is a lively paper for a place the size of Brussels, and the people of that place are consulting their own in- terests if they give it a generous, united and hearty support. Faurr.—Mr A McD Allen, or Gode- rich, passed through town on Tuesday, on his way -to London, where he had arranged to meet a couple of Americans who repre- sent large fruit grower's of the Eastern' States. Mr Allen says the prospects of a good crop TB fruit, particularly apples, were never better, and so far as his obser- vation bas gone, he thought they were cleaner than for a long time past. Some time ago the American made him a very tempting offer to sell their fruit in the for- eign markets,one of the special conditions being that he should handle and write up American fruit only, but this he emphati- cally refused to do, as the Canadian pro- clivities were too strong. Mr Allen has` contracted to handle a very large quantity of Canadian fruit, and his visit to London may result in broadening his field without interfering with his allegiance to his Country. VERY MODEST.—A certain person in town who is noted for his good looks and size, was over at Bayfield recently, and concluded to reduce- the temperature of his body by a bathe in the cooling waters of Dike Huron, so "He hong his clothes on a maple limb ° And jumped right into_the wator.."-- A.flei enjoying himself to his hearts desire he concluded to dress,..but was startled to find that three girls who were not appar- ently afraid of seeing a man naked, were, •calmly watching him from the batik. He waited in the water in the hope that they would retire. With annoying complacency they sat and enjoyed the fun, and after he had waited until patience ceased to be a virtue, he pulled his clothes from the brnb, and, stauding in four feet of waterl he deliberately put on his raiment in that undesirable attitude, to the great delight ot his unknown tormentors. If he had had even a paisley shawl to protect him from their gaze it would not have been so bad. BRIEFs.—A lock of hair, enclosed in a band, has been left at this office for an owner • it was found_ on Ontario. street. Mr David Connell, of this place, has re- cently Completed a splendid bank barn for Mr K Disney,which is a decided credit to him. Mr Silas Pennebaker, formerly at Fair's millaukes his family to Port Huron to -day, where he has for some time been employed in the,car shops there. It is re- ported that Mr Graham will close up the Woollen Mills or dispose of them ere long, as he cannot conveniently operate the one here and at Inglewood also; we should be, sorry to see it closed anyway. A W Cars - lake, of Clinton, was in Erdssels last week cleaning and renovating clothing ; he is said to be a good hand at the business. The most original way of spelling the name of this paper, reached us on a letter this morning, it was " new heary." The bandages were re-doved from the hand of MrJ Carson,Tuesdey and he is getting over the injury nieely. Mr D A Forrester is erecting a new house for ono of his em- ployees, near the Flax Mill, and Mr Wheatley is also improving his house io the same locality.
