•MODELLrTES.—At a meeting of the
Board of County Examiners hero last
week,32 modellites were appointed to
each of the Model Schools in the
county. Two more have signified
their desire of attending Clinton. Mies
Fratkland has been engaged to teach
during the Model term.
ArPEALS.—A, number of appeals
have been lodged with the town clerk
against the voters' list of this year,by
both political parties, but none of
them, we understand, are appeals of
particular importance, being chiefly
,changes that have arisen since the
list was completed.
VANE THROUGH. -- In a certain
house in town the garret is used as a
store -room. and while a member of
the family was, on Monday morning,
putting away some articles in this
part of the house, she slipped from
the joist on which else was standing
and sent her. legs dovinr through the
laths and plaster. The ,injury done,
however, was nut excessive.
THEFT OF •$'IONEY.—On Sunday
last Mr W. Lippington went out into
the country, leaving some money in
the house. When he returned be dis-
covered that the money .had been
stolen. Suspicion rested upon a cer-
tain individual, but when charged
with the theft it was indignantly de-
M,&REaza.—A9 farmers are alll
busy harvesting, very little grain is
coming in, and quotations are merely

TDA n s. --Renewing his subscrip-
tion to the NEW ERA., Rev A, E.
Smith ,of Wroxeter, says :---`" Though
a considerable distance from Clinton
I do not lose interest in the people of
that town and the surrounding ctoua-
try. It seems much like a letter from
old friends to receive the Ens once a
week."

formed that Messrs Cantelon dt Steep
who are buying apples in Essex and
Lambton, were recently offered an ad-
vance over cat of 25 cents a barrel on
4000 barrels, which they had purchas-
ed, without further handling, but
they refused it, evidently believing
that they could make much more this
season.
GRAND CRIWtEr MATOH.—The
Foreat cricket club intend taking a
tour through Western Ontario next
week and will play with the Victoria's
of this town on the Agricultural Park
on Wednesday next, Sept. 4th. The
visitors are one of the strongest teams
in the west and•as our boys have an
excellent record so far this season, an
exciting game may be expected.
A GOOD APPOINTMENT. -- The
many friends of Mr William Ross B.
A,, a former student of the Clinton
Collegiate Institute, will be pleased
to learn that the Minister of Educa-
tion has appointed him Demonstrator
in Chetnietry in University College,
Toronto, at a good salary. The posi-
tion is a permanent one, and very
• esirabte in many warts—It is not
necessary to say that Mr Roes is sure
to be a success.
LOST OR STOLEN.—On Tuesday
Mr James Reynolds, of Hullett, drove
to town in his shirt sleeves, bis coat
thrown on the front seat of his de-
mocrat. His waggon was left on a
street, while he was franeacting some
business, and when he got back the
coat was not there. Whether he had
lost it coming to town or it had been
stolen after be got here be does not
know, but be inclines to the latter
view.
AGAIN RUMORED.—SOme time ago
the NEW ERA gave currency to a
rumor that Judge Doyle was to be
transferred to the county of Carleton,
and bis position here filled by the
,appointment of Mr F. W. Johnston.
This rumor was called in question by
those who at least thought they knew
to the contrary, but the rumor is
again revived and we have reason to
believe will be found to be correct in
a little time. This much is certain,
that the matter has been under Con-
sideration.
C. I. RE-OPENING.—The Clinton
Collegiate Institute re -opened on
on Mondry, classes being formed for
the three grades of teacher's certifi-
cates, Senior Matriculation afid Jun-.
for Matriculation with Honors. Con-
sidering the early date at which these
seats of learning are re -opened this
year the attendance at our Institute
is unusually large. There are many
heir
nied, and it was not until the services '',vretention oftak ng wever who a coureve enin Clintonified t
ot Constable Tedford were called in ,and doubtless, when all the students
that the party really admitted their have begun work it will be fouLd the
guilt,and restored the stolen property, attendance is • the greatest in the
history of the institution. The new
teachers, Mr Giffin and Miss McArth-
thur, are valuable acquisitions to the
teaching staff and -have already made
their influence felt.
which amounted to a considerable
sum. On paying the expenses thus
far incurred, the culprit was allowed
to go unpunished.
PUBLIC SCHOOL Boa-Lim—An ad-
journed meeting of this Board was
held on Friday evening, to settle the
matter of appointing a caretaker. All
the members were present except Mr
Gibbings, and those in favor of the
application of Mr Bentley were con-
sequently in a majority of one. Not
wishing to take advantage thereof
and appoint him, as they could pro-
perly have done, it was suggested that
the names of Messrs Cooper and Bent-
ley be placed in a hat, to be drawn by
an independent party outside the.
Board, and whichever name was se-
lected should be made the unanimous
choice of the Board. This was agreed
and Mr Cooper'e name being the one
eeleoted, he was appointed caretaker.
THE OLD, OLD ,STORY.—All the
gudgeons are not residents of Clinton,
anyhow, the experience of some of
them with "Mexican Charlie" not-
withstanding. While the races were
in progress on Friday afternoon
several akin games were also going
on, one of which had special interest
for a London commercial traveller.
People have often seen a fakir enclose
a $5 bill in a package of soap, mix
the package with some others, and al-
low any one a selection of three for a
,., couple of dollars. In this case the
fellow4ad "catarrh snuff" instead of
soap, and aa the Londoner stood
watching. the manipulatign he was
sure he could pick nut the one con-
taining the Money. A friend caution-
ed him but still he was confident of
his ability, and. paid $3; with the
three packages of snuff he sneaked off
to open them and found be was bit,of
course. He could not resist the temp-
tation of "trying his luck" again,and
it was just the same as before, and
when he returned to London ifi the
evening, he was just 86 poorer. But
he had some valuable experience.

refers to the death of Dr Kennedy, Of
that village, an uncle of Mr J. E.
Blackall, of Clinton, who attended
the funeral on Sunday :—" Our vil-
lage is called upon this week to mourn
the death of an old and respected
citizen, in the person of Dr Hugh
Kennedy, L. D. S., who passed away
at one o'clock last Saturday morning,
at the age of 54 years. Dr Kennedy
was born in London township, and
located in Mtaa Craig about 16 years
ago, where he has resided ever since,
building up a good practice and en-
dearing himself to all by his honorable,
genial character. About two months
ago, while in Lucan on business, he
was prostrated by a paralytic stroke,
thought by his physicians to be caused
by a clot of blood upon his brain. He
was at once taken home and rallied
for a few days when he sank into n
comatose condition which lasted for
three weeks when he recovered con-
sciousness for a few days, during
which time he made his will and at-
tended to some other business, after
which lie again became comatose,and
in spite of the best medical skill re-
mained in that condition until reliev-
ed by death. His funeral on Sunday
afternoon was very largely attended.
He leaves a wife and two children in
omtottable circumstances."

The sermons given on Sunday last
by Rev J'• S. Cook, of Hensall, were
very;much appreciated by his hearers,
and show him to be a minister of
more than ordinary ability. Mr Cook
has seen the dark side of life, having
been in years gone by, a miner in the
old country,but his abilities will soon
place him in the front rauk of Metho
dism, and he is worthy of a wider
sphere of usefulness than that he at
present fills. Mr J. W. Churchill
also did exceptionally well, and as
we have intimated in previous issues
will be a creditable acquisition to the
church of his choice.
At the meeting of young people
connected with Rattenbury St.church
on Monday evening. Mr Perry gave a
thoughtful address on the question of
amusements. Tho line of agrument
advanced was that while many of the
so-called innocent amusements were
harmless in themselves, the language
of Paul applied to them was that "all
might be lawful but all were not ex-
pedient," and that while under some
circumstances they, might be both
lawful or rxpedient,the good of others
required the exercise of self-control,
in order that indulgence might not
lend others astray. Ile has been re•
