ONBEHALFOF COM., JAMES SCOTT.
FOOT CRUSEED.—We are sorry to
learn that Mr E. Mountcastle,of Dun-
dalk, formerly of Clinton, had the
misfortune to have hie foot badly
crushed a few days since by a heavy
log rolling against it ; he certainly
has had 'his share of misfortunes. We
hope his recovery may be speedy.
MOVED.—Mr W. Foster, traveller,
has moved his family to Toronto,
where he has bought a residence.
His house here has been rented,"but
as the tenant is yet unmarried, for
obvious reasons he does not want his
name mentioned, and we won't cook
this paragraph so as to make it known.
A HURONITE GOES YTP.—Hon.John
Robson, Provincial Secretary of Brit-
ish Columbia, was sworn in as Pre.
mier, on Saturday. Mr Robson is an
old Haronite, and by his advance-
ment this county has the honor of
having two of its former residents as
Premier—Greenway and Robson.
T n NEWSPAPERS.—We omitted
• to mention last week that our excel-
lent totem., the Brussels Post, had
entered upon its 17th year; it cer-
tainly improves with age, and would'
be a credit to places much larger than
Brussels. By -the -way, we completely
overlooked the fact that on the Gth
of July,last the NEW ERA entered its
24th year.
A BIG STEER.—On Saturday last
'. Mr Jas. Batl,sof Mullett, delivered
some cattle here that he had sold to
Mr McLean, and among the lot was
a four year old steer that stood 5 feet,
4i inches high, girthed 7 feet 10
inches, and `turned the scales at ex-
actly 2000 lbs. This animal heads
the list,aad it will have to be a pretty
good one that will beat it.
BOGUS,BIRTH NOTICES.—In the
last issuof the NEW ERA were a
couple of birth notices that we have
since learned are bogus. They came
to us,with other items, over the signa-
ture of a person well known, and
without the slightest thought that we
were being imposed upon, they were
inserted • accordingly. There is no
joke in a -thing of this kind, and only
recently a judge imposed a heavy fine
on ,a party for sending bogus news to
a paper.
ENFORCE IT.—We must give Con-
stable Tedford credit for trying to
enforce, without fear or favor, the
by-law cdncerning.ball playing on the
streets. On the civic holiday several
youths,who should have known better,
were playing "catch" on the front
street; if they were acting on the as-
sumption that because it was a holt.
day they were not violating the by -
_.law, they were mistaken, for they
were -summoned to appear., before the
Mayor, and each contributed $1 to
the funds of the town, designated as
"magistrate's fines."
SIDEWALKS.—The stone walk that
fronts the market ground is a decided
improvement over the limb -twister
that for some time previous did ser-
vice there. It would be a good plan
to put down a certain amount of stone
walk every year,in places where there
is much travel, as the good qualities
of such a walk are self evident, when
properly made. There are several
places in town where some repairs to
the walks cannot be made too quickly,
as accidents could easily ensue from
them at present. The Reeve, how-
ever, stated at the council meeting on
Monday,.that considerable difficulty
had been experienced this year in
getting stone, and he would not un-
dertake to see that any more crossings
were laid until we were sure of getting
stone.
EDITORS NOT IN DANGER.—And
note it is said that bank notes are one
bf the most common causes of the
spread of diseases. A contemporary
thinks that a kind providence evi-
dently watches over editors, since
subscribers are generally so thought-
ful as not to unload upon them.
CHANGE.—Messrs Plumsteel & Gil: -
binge have bought the dry goods stock
of Mr T. Jackson, in the premises ad-
joining
their own. We believe it is
their intention to continue running
both stores, having an archway from
one to the -other, but one will be de-
voted to dry goods exclusively, and
the other to groceries, crockery, boots
and shoes, etc.
The Wingham Times says:—Mise
Mountcastle, artist and poet of Clin-
ton, was visiting at the residence of
Dr Macdonald, this week. Miss
Mia+ Mountcastle has,by the intrinsic
merit of her artistic sketches, bad
her name enrolled well up in the
scroll of Canadian artists. A collec-
tion of published poems also contain
selections possessing literary merit
and poetic excellence.
TEE Clvlc.—On Friday last about
150 tickets were sold to Toronto,29 to
Detroit, 50 to. London, 16 to Port
Stanley, and a large number to other
places not offered as excursion points.
In all about 400 tickets were disposed
of, Nothing of note transpired in
town duriug the day; several private
picnics were held, and when the day
was oxer numbers were glad to re-
sume their usual occupations the
next day.
THE WEIGH SCALES.—The Pro-
perty Committee of the ttown has de-
cided to put a new stone foundation
to the market scales. and put them in
first-class order. While the scales
have always been correct in their
weight, they were so built that in the
winter snow and ice would lodge be-
neath them and interfere a little with
their use, and the object of putting
in a new foundation is to obviate this
entirely.
ALARM OF FIRE.—Last Thursday
afternoon an alarm of fire drew a large
crowd down to the empty store on
Albert street, formerly occupied by
Cantelon Bros. A couple of children
had entered the store from the back
and, either In attempting to smoke or
playing with matches, had set fire to
some loose papers on the floor. Im-
mediately over where the fire started
was an elevaltor hole in the floor open,
and this furnished a draught for the
flames which at one time threatened
to make short work of tire -premises.
Through the united efforts, however,
of the Fire Brigade and a Bucket
Corps, the fire was got under control
before serious damage was done.
A RUNAWAY—On Firday evening
while Mr Bert Shaw, of this place,
and Mr T. F. Johnston,of Blyth,were
driving towards Clinton, their horse
took fright and ran away, turning
the buggy,—a covered one—over in
the ditch. Mr Johnston was thrown
out and rendered unconscious;' Mr
Shaw, who was driving, hung onto
the lines, and was dragged some dis-
tance under the upturned buggy be-
fore the 'horse was pulled up. Mr
Johnston was still unconscious when
picked up and had a bad cut in his
head; Mr Shaw escaped with a se-
vere shaking up, and the loss of .a •
few square.indhes of skin. Fortun-
ately tthe buggy was. not broken
at. all.
BOARD OF HEALTH.—At a meeting
of the Health Committee, on Tuesday
morning, a case was laid before the
members of a cow that was running
on the streets with her head swelled
up, one eye partially destroyed, the
bone rotting away, and other things
to indicate that she was unhealthy.
Mr Tedford reported that the cow be-
longed to a Mr Geo. Cook, who had
been using her milk for some months,
although the cow had sustained the.
injury in the spring. The owner of
the cow stated that he had been in-
formed that the milk was not injur-
ious under the circumstances, and he
bad used it accordingly. The board
decided that it was contrary to law,
and detrimental to health, and if the
use of its milk was persisted in the
owner would be liable to a fine of
$100, and he was ordered not to use
or sell the milk. We undertand that
be will kill the cow.
THE CROPS. --Although a number
of people in this vicinity have thresh-
ed their fall wheat, we have not been
able to learn from them the result of
the yield. We are disposed to think
that the average will be larger than
most farmers admit. It is said that
in Goderich township the yield will
be light, but in other sections it will
be so good as to make up for this.
While driving through Colborne the
other day we sampled some of the
grain in the fields,and itwas as plump
and pretty a sample as any•dhe want-
ed to see. Of course ft is possible
that by chance a particularly good
patch was struck, but it is the opinion
of many in Colborne that the yield
will be 20 bushels to the acre. A
friend was last week at London and
St Thomas and in no place found
the crops looking so well as around
Clinton, Seaforth, Brucefield, Hen -
salt and Exeter. After passing Cen-
tralia therbegin to fall off, that is
viewing theta from the car window,
.1'4'Hrrc BRONZE.—W. M. Giffin has
this season erected White Bronze
work for the following parties:—
Messrs Hugh McEacbran and Angus
Morrison, On P.O., Limerick ceme-
tery ; Mrs Margaret Clarke, Crediton
P. 0.; Mr James Page, Grand Bend ;
Mr Donald McDairmid, Brucefield
P. O., Baird's cemetery ; Mrs Mary
McIntosh, Seaforth,Bairu'e cemetery;
Wm. Elcoat, Turner's church ; W.H.
Kerr, of the Brussels Pesti; Peter
Currie, Bayfield cemetery , Mrs Geo.
Cantelon, Clinton cemetery. ' George
Cantelon had been a,Past Master in
the Orange Society, and the Company
put on the Past Master's jewel, which
is a very neat piece of work, showing
the two little gavels very complete,
also the number of the lodge of which
he was a member. It will thus show
to all future generations what posi-
tion he held in the lodge of which he
was a member. The durability of
zinc bas become so thoroughly re',ab-
liahed tnat no reading man questions
it for a moment. Parties for whom
White Bronze work is to be erected
will please be as patient as possible.
We are doing our level best to get to
you, but although we have put on a
double force this season, WP are Mill

THE WEATHER.—Who can kick
about the weather we have been en-
joying in 'these latitudes lately ? Our
July weather was simply delightful.
While down the region of New York
it"was bot, humid, sticky, suffocating,
the whole of the Western Peninsula
has been vouchsafed weather that
would gladden the heart of the most
exacting pleasure -seeker. Let us be
thankful, too, when we learn that in
Southern Russia, for the first ten days
of July, the thermometer never re-
gistered leas than 144 0 in the sun at
noon, and on more, than one occasion
rose to the almost intolerable pitch of
180 ° in the shade. Day after day
the record was the same. Never a
shower, not e'en a penning cloud.
The air absolutely still, without even
a morning or evening breeze, the
nights differing from the days only
n keing dark instead of light—just as
suitry,just as oppressive. We should
be.happy that our lot is cast in ()n-
tario, where General Humidity rarely
holds ,way,
