COMMISSIONERS. — The Ontario
Government has appointed the fol-
lowing persons License Commission-
ers for the South Riding of Huron:—
Robt. Spicer, Exeter ; Peter Douglass,
Blake; David Walker, Brucefield.
ALL ARE ALLOWED.—All the pu-,
pits who were passed by the examiners
at the late Entrance Examinations,
at Clinton and Wingbam, and also
all those who were recommended,
havebeen allowed by the Education
Department.
L
Capt. J. A. Varcoe and Lieut.Wm.
Young, of Carlow, Corporal Wm.
Stevenson, of Auburn, and James
Elliott, of Nile, have arrived at D.
Barracks, London, for a three months'
term. The two latter were selected
from the 33rd Huron Battalion,
SnrrERs.—The Oddfellotrs had a
sapper at Robertson's restaurant, on
Tuesday evening when a very • enjoy-
able time was spent. Mr R. Irwin
entertained the members of the Home
Circle to supper at the same place
the same evening; it goes without say-
ing that they had a good time.
This is the season, of the year for
renewing subscriptions, and we would
earnestly urge our readers to make
prompt returns of the cash to this
office. $1.50, by mail, or paid at the
NEW ERA office will secure the NEW
ERA for another year. Do not for-
get, in the midst of the holiday plea-
sures, tbat money is due the printer,
and will be very acceptable.
A STRONG BLOW.—Some idea of
the force of the great wind on Wed •
nesday night and Thursday morning
of -last week is obtained from the re-
port of the meteorological authori-
ties. It blew at the rate of seventy
miles an hour, or eight miles more
than was sufficient to blow down the
ill-fated Tay bridge, a few years ago,
and the express train which was
crossing it at the -time.
THE GODERICII I'OSTMASTERSHIP.
—A petition is in circulation here,
and is being largely signed, asking
that Mr R. M. Racoy be appointed
to the office of postmaster of Goderich.
No man in Went Huron bas better
claims upon the Dominion Govern
ment for recognition, than this same
gentleman, and a better man for the
office could not be selected. We
would like to see 'the Government
recognize Mr'Racey's fitness, though
we would much regret his removal
from town.
Miss Eva Croll returned this week
to her frame in the Gazette office,
after a few weeks' holidays with rela-
tives and friends in Clinton and Galt.
The Clinton papers have got into a
fight over the tact that this ,young
lady did not secure a husband during
leap year, and take him home to
Clinton with her. We always thought
the vie—no, the fortunate young,man
,
resided in Clinton.—Parkhill Ga-
zette. [The editor of the Gazette
would no donbt express his thoughts,
if he wasn't afraid of his wife's sis—
no, friends.
QuicE TEI.EGAAi'HIN.;.-_The fdl-
lowing paragraph, from a Los Ange-
les paper of last week, refers to a son
of Mr John Irving, Clinton, and one
who learnt his business with Mr F.
W. Watts :—The article published in
an evening contemporary, on Thurs-
day, l egarding the feat of Telegrapher
Cunningham, has stirred up the fra-
ternity in thie city. While Mr Cun-
ningham's exploit was certainly a
good one, it has been beaten. Mr
James Irving, at present in the em-
ploy of the Southern Pacific Co:', at
their passenger depot in this city,
sent from their Western Union office
in New Orleans, about two years ago,
4,125 words of press report, and" 310
messages, between 7 o'clock p.m. an8
12.45 a,m. Thy Southern Pacific has
a faeulty for keeping bright tele•
graphers in his service,

Dir Heber Afellijnald, of VPiianil►eg,

Mr Hy. Porter has been very low,
we regret to say, for eeveral days
Deputy -Reeve Manning and wife
spent a few daysinTorontolastweek,
the guests of the former'. parents.
At a meeting of the School Board,
on Wednesday, Mr Geo. E. Pay was
re-electedjchairmau for the ensuing
year.
Mr Thos. Mustard, and wife, who
have been spending the winter with
the latter's father, left on Wednesday
for their home in Kansas.
A certain young business man of
the Brick block will next week enter
Hymen's bonds. We extend our
congratulations in advance.
Mr McCuaig bas 20,000 cubic feet
of timber in the woods that he can-
not move because there is no sleigh-
ing.
RIB BROKEN.—The other day Mr
Henry Cole, of Mary street,happened
to slip down, and fell across a stick
ot wood, which broke one of his ribs.
For a place making the pretensions
Clinton does, it shou.d have a decent
chandelier over the platform of the
Town Hall. The lamp hanger now
in use is a disgrace to the town.
A NEWIN»usTRY--Mesere.Critten-
den, Best da Co, late of Niagara Falls,
Ont., have moved here and intend to
engage in the manufacture of spring
beds. They consider that this town
offers unusual facilities for a manu-
factury of this kind.
Mr Jos. Calloway, of Winnipeg, is
down here on a visit. Mr Calloway
is an old Stanleyite, and is a brother
of Alderman Calloway, of Winnipeg,
who, back in the seventies, took an
active part in someof the election
campaigns of South Huron.
BARLEY. — Mr Irwin this week
filled an order for 20,000 bushels of
Barley for the New York market.
This represents 50 car loads, and . as
the duty is 10e per bushel; farmers•
can speedily figure out how much
they lose on this article because we
havn't Commercial Union.
FOR ENQLAND.—Mr H, B. Smith,
who has been in the Molson's Bank,
left on Monday last for London, Eng-
land, sailing on Wednesday last by
the,Britannic of the White Star Line,
for which W. Jackson is agent. Mr
Allen Hartt, late of Hamilton, (son
of Mr C. A. Hartt) takes Mr Smith's
position.
We must apologize to our readers
for the blurred appearance of the bot-
tom of a couple of our inside pages.
One of our rollers getting out of kil-
ter was the cause of it. We usually
pride ourselves on the clean and neat
appearance ot the NEw ERA, and
will try and prevent a repetition of
the mishap of this week.
ILLEGAL LIQUOR SELLING.—On
Wednesday Robt. Mullin, who,keeps
'an unlicensed house of accommoda-
tion at the Nile, was charged by In-
spector Paisley with selling liquor
without a license. The case came up
Mayor Whitehead and Mr McGarva,
J.P., who found the defendant guilty,
and imposed a fine of $50 and coats.
Tim Frans. -There was a good at-
tendance at the concert ot the Fisk
Jubilees, on Wednesday evening, but
not sd large as was anticipated, nor
ae the merits of the singers deserved.
The company is not as large as when
here before„but has several of the old
voices in its midst, and several of
their pieces were most heartily en-
cored.
HORSES.—McLean Bros have been
here for a few days buying horses for
an American, but have so far only
succeeded in buying five. They
bought one ot Mr Thos, Mason,” one
from:A. Innes, one from J. Mcllveen,
and a team from Ben Churchill. The
farmers are holding for higher prices
than buyers are willing to give, as.
they claim the demand for good hors-
es has slackened a little.
SALVATION ARMY—Especial meet'
ings were held here on Tuesday and
Wednesday,, led by Adj. Evans A. D.
C., and Dr. Logan, a rayed Indian,
from the Moraviantown reserve. On
Wednesday the Doctor gave an ad-
dress on the Indian's past and pres-
ent. Col. Bailey and Staff Captain
Banks are to be here from the 26th to
the 28th.. Colors are to be presented
by them to the corps. The amount
collected and sent from here for the
Denial Fund was $12.75.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. -- Clinton
entered upon another stage of its
progress on Saturday night last, when,
for the first time, many of its business
places were light up by electricity.
Workmen had been engaged for some
time prior to that in making the ne-
cessary arrangements for its use, and
people were on the tip -toe of expec-
tancy to see just what it was like.
The light ie very bright and strong,
and makes that from coal oil appear
very dim indeed. On Saturday night
the light suddenly went out, caused
by the breaking of a belt on the dy-
namo, but everything now appears to
be in splendid running order, and
giving the best of satisfaction.
FIRST MEETINGS.—The members
of every municipal council (except
county councils) shall hold their first
meeting at eleven o'clock in the fore-
noon, on the third Monday of the
same January' in whah.- they were
elected ; and the members of every
county council shall hold the first
meeting at two o'clock in the after-
noon, on the fourth Tuesday of the
same month. No business shall be
proceeded with at the first meeting of
the council, until the declarations of
office and qualification have been
duly administered to all the members
who present themselves to take the
same.
MILLERS IN COUNCIL.—A largely
attended meeting of the Miller's as-
sociation of the counties of Huron,
Bruce, Perth, Grey and North Wel-
lington was held at Palmerston, on
Tuesday. Among other important
business transacted, a resolution was
passed appointing' a Committee to
wait upon the Minister of Customs,
calling his attention to the present
depressed state of the milling busies
nese in Ontario, asking him to remedy
the long -existing discrimination
against Canadian millers in favor of
American millers in relation to the
light duty imposed tipon , American
imported fh ur as compared with that
on wheat.
L'oresteri' Supper's;
Tho Clinton Forester., e.
njo ed,
their annual supper at Spopner's Ho-
tel, outhe evening of Thursday kap
The. large dining gall was. complete-
ly filled with members of the order,
and no fiber spread, 'could have been
set before the members of the Royal
Family. High Chief Ranger, Henry
Stevens, occupied the chair, while
Mr J. Sheppard held the vies -chair.
After all had supplied the inner
wants, the toast of the Queen and the
Royal Family was enthusiastically
drank. The Army and Navy was
coupled with the names of Messrs C.
Blackstone, and W Jones; the former
made a few remarks concerning Eng-
lish valor, while the latter sang The
march of the Cameron men. After
other loyal toasts were'drank, "The
Mechanical Interests" was given,
coupled with the names of Messrs J.
Steep, R. Fitzsimons and A. Couch,
the former of whom was the only one
that responded to the toast. The
names of Messrs Oliver Johnston and
John Smith were coupled with the
toast "Our Order," and while Mr.
Johnston gave a few facts concerning
the order, Mr. Smith gave facts and
fiction in hisquaint, humorous way.
Dr. Williams responded to "The Me-
dical Profession" and Messrs. Smith,
Jones, J. C. Cole and Tweedy, to the
"Sister Spcieties." "The Ladies"
were looked after by Messrs. J. Clark
and C. Spooner, jr., the former giving
a song and the latter a song with gui-
tar accompaniment, "The Press"
was honored by the local representa-
tives, and after the health of the
"Host and Hostess" had been drank,
and 'acknowledged by Mr Spooner,
the gathering broke up, wishing only
that occasions of this nature would
come oftener.

Local Church Chimes.
Rev. A.. Stewart, of Durham, is vis-
iting his daughter, Mrs P. Cole.
Rev J. T. LeGear, of Ethel, will
preach in Ratteibury street church,
on Sunday next.
Mr James Young will take all the
appointments an the Londesboro
Circuit Methodist church, next Sun-
day.
Rev Mr Smith conducts anniver-
sary services in the Baptist church.
next Sunday morning, and Rev A.
Stewart in the evening.
Rev. 'J. Livingstone preaches at
Florence next Sunday ; on Wednes-
day he received a request to preach
the funeral sermon of one of his form-
er parishioners, and left therefor at
once.'
Miss Cartmell, a former missionary
in China, is expected to ,lecture in
Clinton, about the 6th of February.
She bad intended being• here on the
30th inst., but it conflicted with the
S. S. Convention.
On Sunday morning, at Christ
Church, London, in the presence of a
numerous congregation, the Right
Rev. Bishop of Huron ordained to the
deaconate Mr H. Bray, of Huron
College, (formerly of Clinton) and to
the priesthood the Rev T. A. Wright,
of Gorrie.
Rev Mr Cook. of Hensall Metho-
dist church, with commendable zeal,
some time ago arranged to hold ser-
vices at that place twice every Sab-
bath, instead of only' once, ashereto-
fore, by securing the assistance of
several local brethren for some of the
extra appointments. The arrange-
ment, however, has been discontinu-
ed, as it did not pay, the travelling
expenses of the extra help amounting
to more than the congregation felt
able to stand.
Mr H. Foster, president of the Y.
P.C.W.A..of Rattenbury St. church;
has arranged a six -months' pro-
gramme for the weekly meetings of
the Association, whereby an address
on some vital topic of christian work
is given every other week, by some
member of the Association. This
will lend additional interest to the
work of the young people, and be
productive of much good. Rev Mr
Livingstone gave the first of the se-
ries, on Monday evening, on "Growth
in grace." The next will be on the
evening of the 28th, when Mr D,
Calbick will speak on "A sure foun-
dation."
The Missionary services of Ontar-
io St. church were held on Sunday
last, and were attended by an inter-
ested audience morning and evening.
The evening service was in the shape
of a platform meeting,the chair being
occupied by Mr D. Tiplady; address-
es were delivered by Rev. J. Living-
stone and G. Richardson, both -of
which were full of information and
instruction. The choir rendered
choice music dosing the intervals.
Before the close Rev. Mr Edge read
from the annual report, showing the
amount contributed last year, and
asking for increased liberality. Col-
lectors were appointed, and already
the sum contributed is about double
that of last year, and ;will easily
reach the amount of $250.
Heron , Central Exhibition.
The anneal meeting of the Hurcn
Central Exhibition Association was
held in the council chamber here, on
Thursday afternoon last, the presi-
dent, Mr A. H. Manning, in the
chair. The treasurer's report was
adopted, showing a handsome sur-
plus as follows: Total receipts $l,--
107.09 ; expenditure, $1,012.87. A

by John Johnston, that the thanks of
this society be extended to Hon Chas.
Drury, Hon. A. M. Ross, Robert
Porter, M.P., and John McMillan,
M.P., for their kind attendance at
the late exhibition.
The motion was carried unani-
mously, after which the meeting pro-
ceeded with the election of officers for
the present year, viz ; President, A.
tf. Manning, re-elected. Vice -Presi-
dent, John Johnston. Directors—
Jobn Ransford, W. J. Biggins, Peter

tors—R. M. Racey and Wm. Coats.
The success of the Association last
year was very gratifying indeed, the
officers all being neW to the business,
but taking hold with the determina-
tion to make the affair successful
from first to last—an end that was
accomplished,
