INSANE.—A Mrs Bendick, whose
husband runs a tannery at Zurich,
passed through Clinton to Goderich
jail, last week, she being taken there
for safety; until her admission to
London Insane Asylum can be se-
cured.
DISLOCATED.—On Saturday last
while Mr Arthur Stephenson was
playing base ball, he had the misfor-
tuneto dislocate his knee. The dis-
location was reduced without any-
thing more serious than a painful
limb.
BATHE ODD.—There is a house in
town that Lias not been occupied for
about four years. In it is atcred the
furniture of the fanfily that formerly
occupied it, but who are living else-
where in Ontario. Nothing has been
disturbed since they left it, and the
oddest part of the whole affair is that
. they hava paid rent on it all along.
CATTLE.—Stanbury Bros. shipped
from Clinton, last Friday, two loads
of grass-fed cattle, which averaged,
1511 lbs., an' exceptionally good
weight. This was after they had
shrunk for six hours. Among the lot
was a three-year old steer which turn-
ed the beam at 1690. If any one can
surpass this we shall be glad to men-
• tion it.
KIND WORDS.—Letters like the
following help to brighten up the hard
life an editor sometimes leads, and
we only wish that more of our sub-
scribers would display a similar spirit:
DEAR SIR,—I have been thinking
now for some time of paying up my
dues, and cannot resist any longer.
Herewith please find enclosed 81.50
for your excellent paper. 'Friday al-
ways comes with welcome to me for
it always brings the ERA filled with
local and district news of the old
town. 4 • JAs.;LoBs, Berlin.
SWIFTLY PASSING.—Scarcely has
one fully realized that summer, is
here until the signs of fall begid" :to
appear. Already the hay and grain
are cut; strawberries have come and
gone, the last of the raspberries will
soon be gathered, and in a little bet-
ter than another month the fall fair
season, with its perplexing prize list
will be on us. Then comes the tax
gatherer, and what little he leaves
will be required to} lrepare for winter.
With all these changing scenes before
his eyes there are still some who for•
get to pay the printer.
DEATH.—Some time ago we men-
tioned the serious illness of Miss
Junor, eldest daughter of Mr John
Junor. Even then very little hope
was entertained of her recovery, but
it was not expected that death would
come as soon as it did, her spirit tak-
ing its flight on Tuesday. She was
slightly over 17 years of age, and
'passed away so peacefully and in
such conscious realization of the
Savior's presence, that death had no
terrors for her. t The sympathy of the
community is extendEd-herif-lenddin
their bereavement. -

' HAY SoLD.---JIr W. Weir, of the
Bayfield road, just outside of town,
sold about eighty tfrins of hay to Mr
Morgan, at 86 pee n,"who is packing
it and shippinit/direct to Toronto.
SCIENCE 11ASTERSHIP.—The -SCi-
ence Mastership of the Collegiate Ins-
titute has been filled by the appoint-
ment of Mr J. A, Giffin, B. A., of
Orangeville High School, and whose
home•a0St. Llarye. DIr Giffin is an
honor graduate of the university of
Toronto. in the Department of Nat -
Aral Science. He took honors in
Mhemistry, biology, mineralogy and
geology duringlhis course, and gradu-
ated with honors in the special de •
partment of biology. He comes to
' us with the highest recommendations
and in every say qualified for his
work.
ANOTHER "WANDERER" BACH.—
Mr R. Rowlands, who went to Mani-
toba a couple of months ago, has re-
turned, thoroughly convinced that the
Province of Ontaryroffers just as gcod
inducements and better prospects
than can be found in the west—this
year at least. He went as far as
Banff, which is a watering plaee, and
can never be anything more. Calgary
he has not an exalted opinion of.
Winnepeg he describes as being quiet.
In fact dullness seemq to prevail all
over. He has concluded to settle
down in Toronto.
Messrs C.C.Rance, P.W. Hayward,
Geo. Southcombe, and W. R. Lough,
are the latest "wanderers" who have
returned from the "land of promise"
1 e,—the great unbounded west.
Some of them allege that they will go
back; and with certain limitations,
speak favorably of the country, they
admit that everything there is "just
as flat as the country,'but they think
there is a good time coming; if re-
ports are to be relied upon, the farm -
ere there cannot experience it too
quickly, for some of them are,•unfor-
CORN IN EGYPT YET. "Do the
farmers tell you there is going to be
no fall wheat this year?" inquired
Mr S. Phipps, of Goderich township,
as he emptied a handful of splendid
grain on our table the other day.
'Well some of them say it is badly
affected with rust," was the reply.
"Well," continued Mr Phipps, "they
are crying beforb they are hurt.
There's a sample from my farm, and
a prettier sample you don't want to
find; I've got lots of it too, "and I be-
lieve it'll thresh twenty bushels to,
the acre 'anyhow." We hope that
Mr Phipps' predictions may be veri-
fied in his own case,and also general-
ly.
"SAFE•BREAKING." — The other
day the inner combination of Farran
& Tisdall's vault became unworkable,
and it was necessary to secure the as-
sistance of a couple of safe -experts
from Toronto, to get the safe open.
When the men came up, they found
it would be necessary to drill a quar-
ter inch hole in the door, which was
composed of iron and chilled steel,
being about 2i inches thick. A pres-
sure of several tons on the drill easily
sent it through the iron, but not so
the chilled steel, as it took thirteen
hours steady drilling to cut through
about an inch-and-a•quarter thick-
ness. Burglars would stand a very
.poor show with a door of this kind:
THE"CIVIC.—To-day is the civic
holiday, and doubtless all who can
scrape enough money togethtsr.to 'pay
the piper" will avail themselves of
some of the cheap excursions offered.
Toronto will likely be the objective
point of the largest number—it al-
ways is-- but whether the two day's
limit ticket will be a detriment or
otherwise, to the railway , remains to
be seen. Hitherto, an excursion on
Friday, has been made by the rail-
way good until the following Mon-
day, bat it is not so this time. 'How-
ever a fare of $2 for a two days' trip
is almost cheaper than staying at
home. The base ball boys go to
London to try their skill with the
Tecumsehs. There will be enough
staying at thome to look ^`ter the
town for one day.
lunate y, stranded.
ANOTHER VICTORY.—On Friday
last our promising junior cricket club,
the Victorias, defeated the seniors of
Exeter,' in a very friendly game held
on the Agricultural grounds here.
Wickets were pitched at 11 a. m.
Clinton going to the bat succeeded in
making their usual score of 39, Ken-
nedy making 9 and Cooper 7. Exeter
made 47 for their first attempt, of
which Manson's 15 and Davis' 8 were
the leading scores. After lunch Clin-
ton went to bat and succeeded in
making the longest score ever made
in a game in town, 108. Everybody
batted well in their 2nd innings, but
Kennedy's 13, McLaggart's 15, Stan-
bury's 12 and Keolle 17,were all well
earned scores. Keolle made a grand
hit for 5. Exeter went to bat and
made 57, ' F. Elliott's 12 not out and
J. Elliott 16 were good innings. Thus
the Victories again won by 46 -runs.
.Clinton's bowlers did excellent work.
The Exeter team put up at mine host
Kennedy's, and speak very highly of
his courteous treatment. The follow,

We observe that the Oddfellows of
Goderich advertise an excursion by
boat to Port Huron, next Thursday.
This notice is not 80 much for the
sake of giving a free advertisement,
as to ask some of the Clintoniana if
they remember an excursion to the
same place not long ago, when Lake
Huron's bosom "tossed and heaved in
angry billows wild." We would be
-willing to wager a new hat that they
can almost feel an upward movement
in their internal construction every
time they think of it.
°' A VISITOR'S OPINION.
7'o the Editor of the Clinton Neu, Era.
SIR,—Having had the pleasure of
spending a few days, in your pretty
town, and being much pleased with
its appearance would like to say a
few words about it" Centrally located
on high ground, it has good natural
drainage, and is evidently a healthy
place. One of your citizens kindly
took me to the top of his building,
where I got a good perspective view.
The trees in the streets and gardens
look like a miniature forest. I think
if your roadmaster would raise the
trees a little higher from the foot -walk
it would be an improvement. Then
party fences should be taken down,
and the lawns thrown together. Keep
grass and weeds on the aide of the
road cut. I must say that your pub-
lic buildings, .churchei and schools,
have a very neat appearance. It ap•
pears to me that your town is just the
place for a person to have a comfort-
able home and live and educate a fa-
mily on, limited means. I might say
I have been in many small towns
where all fences have been removed,
and no one seemed to take advantage
thereof by running over the gardens
from the streets. Where the boys
play ball you have a nice piece of
centrally -situated ground that would
make a handsome park and picnic
groi*rl, if planted with treys, and at-
tended to. Yon;s, .1 \'Lilo
