The report of the Treasurer of Willis church, Clinton, chows that the re- ceipts of the past church year, from all sources, were $2430.07, this, with a balance on hand, footed up to $2670.87. The expenditures were only $2348.67, leaving a nice balance of $227.20 on hand. Rev Jos. Odery, Methodist minis- ter at St. George, had a narrow es- cape from being killed by a vicious horse, on Monday, evening. He had gone into the stall to feed and care for it, when it attacked him, knock- ing him down, kicking and tramping upon him. His collar bone was broken, and he is very seriously bruised. Luckily some one entered the stable and rescued him from his perilous position. Mr Odery was last year invited to the pastorate of Rattenbury street Methodist church. The Young People's Christian En- deavor Society of Ontario St. Metho- dist church returned the visit of the Willis Church Society, on Monday evening, the 18th inst. Mr Manning conducted the service, and Messrs Diamond, Welsh and Rev. Mr Edge also took part. The subject taken up was 'Prayer.' It was really a very enjoyable and profitable meet- ing, the members of both' associations uniting in praise, prayer and medita- tion, all praising the same Lord, and striving in the same path. Let us have more of these meetings, as we believe much good has been done by them already. Mr Chas. Wilson, painter, bas de- termined to seek his fortune in Mani- toba,and leaves therefor in a few days. He will dispose of his furniture by auction to -morrow... _ A Winnipeg telegram says : —J.

'D'o not fail to hear him. .. . ., THE LATEST SWINDLE.—A couple of well-dressed glib -tongued young men •are swindling the farmers of 'Middlesex, by selling watches repre- sented to be gold, at whatever prices they can get. They are really made from aluminum, an article that looks like gold, but is about twenty times lees valuable. Farmers who purchase gold watches" from:travellers whom /hey do not know, deserve to be swin- dled, and if this paragraph does not put them on their guard, nothing short of a little experience will do them any good. FIIJED FOR PROFANE LANGUAGE. —On Friday evening as a clergyman was going along the street, he was accosted by a young man named Ball the worse of liquor, who used very. profane language. The clergyman cautioned the youth, intimating that he might"get into trouble, and just at the moment Mr Paisley, who is a county constable, came along, and seeing' the state of affairs, walked the youth off to the lockup. He was afterwards brought before the Mayor, who imposed a fine of $2 and coots, amounting in all to $6. Mr Tedford had a boy named Barge up for being drunk and disorderly; fine $2 and costs. P. Malley, for using profane language in front of the Barracks,was fined $1 and costs. AN EARLY SPRING.—W eather pro- gnosticating is' a proverbially risky proceeding, but it seems safe to speak of the present as an early spring. The snow is nearly all gone; the air, if not balmy, is not cold; the carpet beater is at work, and -the grass is becoming a delightful green. All this is true as we write, though before it is print. ed a change may bring us a blizzard.,. ous snow storm. That, how'e'ver, does not affect the wisdom of what we set out for, and that is to impress on all the necessity for a thorough cleaning up. The town is at present exceptional- ly free from sickness, and this condi- tion of thing should be maintained during the summer. Cleanliness is the first essential of health, and it should be borne in mind that the germs of fever and epidemics collect in back yards during the- winter and muat be thoroughly removed to rid the place of danger. From its natur- al situation Clinton is one of the healthiest towns, in the country, and it can be kept with that record by n little attention at the proper time. CKSON'S BOOKSTORE SCOTCH SocI L.—This social was held in the basement of Willis church, on Friday evening last, under the auspices of the Mission Band. It was thoroughly Scotch in its nature, the hall was profusely decorated with Tartan. also many wore different ar- ticles of Scotch attire, nor was there any lack of heather to complete the decoration.. Mr Budge occupied the chair, and the following programme was rendered :—Violin Polo, 'Annie Laurie,' by. Mr Cook; Scotch reading, Mrs T. Fair; recitation, ` Marmion and Douglas,' Miss. Struthers; solo, We'd better bide a' wee,' Miss Ella Coats; reading, Mr Stanbury; duet, the Misses Oliver; reading, Mr Hart- ley; song, 'Scots wha hae,' Mr Mc- -Germ reading, Mr Scott. Mr Stew- art gave a short address on historical spots in Scotland,after which refresh- ments were served. All enjoyed the oat -cake, scone, short -cake, "kirn" milk, etc., in the highest degree. A neat sum was realized at the door. Harland Bros. were the purchasers of the hardware stock of R. M. Racey, on Wednesday. We believe it is their intention to continue the business in the present premises; quite a member of intending buyers were present. There should be a full house at the debate and enteitainment to be held in the Town Hall, to -night (Friday.) An excellent programme has been prepared, and those who attend will receive good value for their money. Mr Robt. Elliott, proprietor of the Wingham Times, was a caller at the NEW ERA office on Monday. Mr Elliott is one of the leading Foresters of the Dominion, and he was on his way to attend a court meeting in Ben - miller. In its report of a concert last week, The Wingham Times says :—The Clinton Quartette Club. composed of Messrs W Harland, W J Kay, Miss E Walker, Mr R H Foster, and Mies Carrie Gibbing?), accompanist, ap- peared in varied selections and won greator and deserved applause in each appearance. Rev. Dr. Searls, 15 years chaplain of Auburn State Prison, will deliver a lecture entitled "A voice from Pri- son Life" in Rattenbury St. Metho- dist Church, on the evening of April 3rd. He is one of the ablest men of the age, and the press everywhere speak in the very highest terms of his abilities as a lecturer. A fracas occurred'on the L.,H,& B. train going north the other evening says a Lucan correspondent. Toms Banting, of McGillivray, and a Clin- ton man, name unknown; got into an altercation in reference to a wager, when Jim McFadden, a Scott Act con- stable, intefered, arrested the Clinton man and had him fined.(Who was it?) IMPOSED UPON.—No matter how capful a newspaper is not to insert afOthing but what is believed to be correct, matters will find their way into print that turn out to be untrue. Last week several items appeared in our columns, under the heading of "Mlle Green," that we are informed are pure fiction. The items came to us in one of our own printed enve- lopes, and we had no ',reason. what- ever to doubt their accuracy. We since learn that they did not come from our recognized correspondent at that place ; the author of the items evidently stole the envelope from some source, and played a despicable part, ehicb, while doing no injury to the persons alluded to, caused con- siderable annoyance. There is evi- dently some one at Hills Green mean enoagh for anything, as a simi- lar trick was played upon the Ex- positor some time ago, from the same section. A. H. Manning, Esq., gave hie " Visit to Westminster Abbey," at Goderich, on Tuesday night, to a crowded house. He is continually in receipt of letters asking him to give it in different parts of the minty, many of which he has necessarily to decline. Both A. H. and his lecture are popular, and the same -may be said of the Quartette Club led by Mr W. Kay, which was also present on this occasion. A union meeting of the Young People's Christian Work Association of Ontario and Rattenbury street churches was held in the room of the latter, on Monday evening. There was a large attendance from both churches. Mr W. Kay "took charge of the meeting, and after several had led in prayer, Rev -Mr Edge took up the subject of "Faith and Feeling.'' He showed the necessary connection between faith and salvation, and proved conculsively that faith, with- out regard to "feeling" as`the term is usually understood,was the scriptural basis of reconciliation with God, hap- piness and peace here, and the assur- ance of joy hereafter. He referred to the only four places in the bible where "feeling" is to be found, and showed that the term, as used in these passages, had no direct.hearing upon salvation. After singing ahymn, Mr Manning continued the address, and by apt illustrations and clear reason- ing, demonstrated that spiritual life, progress and power was the result of direct and implicit faith—and that alone—in the Son of God. Before the meeting closed Mr Kay invited the members of Rattenbury St. to join those of Ontario St., on the evening of April 9th. An old Clintonian says :—Since the Episcopal church was first established here, its pulpit has never been occu- pied by a clergyman, =whose sermons were likely to elevate humanity as much as those of the present Incum-- bent of St. Paul's. We have had many more eloquent }nen, among whom stand prominent, Rev James Carmichael and Rev Dr Wall, either of whom could hold their audience spell-bound,but could not with greater zeal point opt "the narrow way," the path the Saviour trod nearly two thousand years ago ; the path of self- denial that led him to the cross, and that leads his followers to "everlasting lite." Many ministers of the Gospel try with fearful denunciations to drive their flocks to heaven. Mr Craig leads his sheep, and leads them lovingly, "and dead indeed 'in tresspases ane sins" must be the man or woman,who could listen to his discourse and not desire to lead a purer, a more Christ - like life,aye,and pray for the strength to do so. As I heard him last Sun- day morning quote this passage from scripture, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God," me thought this purity of heart, this self- denial, this "charity that suffereth long and is kind" err worth striving for, worth praying for. Praying and striving to follow Christ that we may see God. To follow Christ in his humility, in his purity, in his kind - nese, in his long-suffering not only because his life was so grandly noble that we long to follow him, but that we may see God. During all his ministry among us Mr Craig has taught his flock to believe and follow, if they would have everlasting life, and if all ministerrk,;,pLthe Gospel would take a loaf from his life in this respect,the world would be the better for it. 1t is nominee to preach that the sinner has nothing to do but be- lieve. He must follow or his faith is dead, and we may all follow by the aid of prayer and watchfulness, and self denial even though it be, like Peter, alar Off, SUIPMYN'rH -Among tlieshipmonts from Clinton station this week were the following : -45 ears of Barley by 'Mr Irwin, to New York ; Jag Fair, 1 ear of flour to Mont read ; W. MnI,oan, I car of eattlo to Montreal ; John Middleton, 1 car settler's effects to Alexander, Manitoba ; Jas. (Churchill, 1 car Reuters effects, to Manitoba. — Th Imas McKenzie recoiVed 2 c r of ahingles and 1 car of lumber, X X X Baby - Carriages We will receive in a few days the finest stock of Children's Carriages ever seen in this part of the country.

LIST OF CONVICTIONS.—Tho con- victions by Huron Magistrates for the quarter ending the 14th inst., number 52. Goderich magistrates had 14 of these, Clinton had 16, Seaforth 3, Wingham 5, Blyth 4. Ofthecbarges 17 c t them were for vagrahcy, 7 for violation of the Crooks Act, and the rest for minor offences. 01 the fines imposed 18 of them were for 51 and costa ; 5 of $20 and costs ; one of $60 and one of $50. THE FALL WHEAT --We have en- quired of a good many farmers their opinions as to the present condition ot'the fall wheat, and while a few aro doubtful as td the result of the pres- ent fine days and cold nights, the ma- jority are of opinion that it is all right at present. Some speak in ecs- tacies concerning it. We sincerely hope their anticipations may prove correct, because a good crop is abaoj lutely necessary in this section to put a good many farmers on their feet.
