3 The Technicon. •- Mrs Whitt
has procured a "Technicon" cr hand
gymnasium for the use of her pupils.
The Technicon is used for strengthen-
ing and developing the extensor or lift-
ing muscles of the fingere. It is now
need in all the leading Colleges and
Conservatories of music, not only on
this continent, but also in Europe
Mr William Sherwood, one of the lead.
ing teachers and pianists of New York
says.: "it 1i/incenses thinking teachers
and students to follow out a new train
of thought," and he says also, "I find
that since using .the Technicon I can
teach and practice to better advantage."
Mr Albert Parsons, also of New York,
says: "In the Technicon science and
art join hands," Teresa Carreno, "The
best invention ever produced for piano
players." The Technicon is need by
Joseffy, Wm. H. Sherwood, Albert
Parsons and many others amongst the
leading teachers and pianists of the
United States.

ACCIDENT.—On Thursday evening
last, as Mr Thos. Mason, sr., of the
Base line, was driving home, seated
in a hay rack, be fell through to the
ground, and the waggon passing over
his shoulder broke the bone. It is an
injury that will take some time to
heal.
SMASHED.—On Friday afternoon
Misses Graham and Cosford, of this
place, drove out with a friend to a
picnic in Hullett. They had just
-- alighted from the buggy, when the
horse broke away, bumped the buggy
on itsside, and madly tore almost in
the midst of a party of picnickers. It
stopped before it had done very much
damage. •
AN AGED COUPLE.—Mr Ed. Mc-
Lean and wife, of the 3rt4con. of
Goderich township, parents ot the
well-known cattle buyers, were in
town last week, and few who saw
them would believe that both are over
80 years of age. With the exception
that Mrs McLean has had paralysis
of the face, which affects her speech,
both are in prime health, and really
look much younger than they are.
. They have no help whatever on the
farm, and Mr McLean looks after his
horses, stock, etc., with as much ease
as a youth of 25.
:f %
MORE THAN WN CAN STANK.—Re-
newing his subscription a eubscriber
writes as follows .--" Permit me to
say that I'm delighted with the New
Etta. -Nor is there the least tinge of
flattery in my saying that it is a eapl-
tal specimen of able journaliepa. In
a word it is a bright, spicy, newsy
local, sound in doctrine, firm in the
faith,and (I think) correct in politics.'
SrusiaUT CAsr.—We understand
that in one particular line of business
--in which several persons swim-
gaged—arrangements have been m de
to adopt the cash system next Ja
sq. No goods whatever will be
charged. This is as it should be, and
will be beneficial to both customer
and tradesmen, If the system oould
be made general everybody would be
the better of it.
SUBmaaBE FOR IT.—There are a
great many people who send a copy
of the NEw ExL to friends and pay
postage. They pay fifty-two cents in
postage, and , besides their trouble
fifty-two times, ttie paper always goes
several days after publication. By
paying us the subscription price they
are saved both postage and trouble
and the paper leaves promptly at the
hour of publication. .
HOPE HE MAY BE.—A paragraph
has been goint the rounds of the press
staling that an immense fortune—up
in the millions—bas been left to the
heirs of one Fischer, of German des-
cent. Mr Plumsteee, sr.,ofthis place,
believes that he is one of the heirs, as
his grandfather was a Fischer, and a
native of Germany. He went to
consult with a brother, and proper
steps will be taken to discover wheth-
er or not they are entitled to a portion
of the estate.
DOES KNOW.—Our cam gets as
near the truth as usual, when it Pays
the NEW ERA gravely and positively
announced that Judge Doyle would
be transferred to the county of Carle-
ton. What we did say was that "A
rumor to that effect had been re-
vived," which is an altogether diffe-
rent thing. We did, say, however,
that the matter had been under con-
sideration, and we say so again. It
is not necessary to know the inside
workings of the Department of Jus-
tice to find this out, no more than it
would be necessary to ask the Minis-
ter of Customs if the editor of our to-
tem did not expect an office under
him.
DEATH OF_ MR BROWN.—Though
not a proininent man, the death of
Mr Robert Brown removes one who
has long been a resident of this neigh-
borhood, and who has always borne
himself with respectability. Deceased
was born in Driffell, Yorkshire, and
came out in 1854. After a short resi-
dence in Chinguacousy, he moved to
Huron in 1856. For nearly 30 years
he lived in Clinton, and for 14 of
these was caretaker,. of the Public
Schol. He was quiet, unostentatious
citizen, a member of the Methodist
church, ' and leaves a wife, five sons,
and two daughters, all married but
the youngest son. Ris funeral ser-
mon will be preached in Rattenbury
street church, next Sunday morning.
ARRESTED AND RELEASED.—Litet
spring a horse and -buggy was' stolen
from a party at Watford and subse-
quently recovered near Wingham.
On Monday the thief was seen in
town, being recognized by a party
with whom he had traded horses, and
on this person's authority,• Constable
Tedford arrested the man. The Wat-
ford party was communicated with by
telephone,but he refused to prosecute,
as he said it would test him more
time and money than he was prepared
to expend, consequently the thief was
allowed to go.
A FREAK OF NATURE.—The other
day an egg which was truly a freak of
nature, was discovered at Mr Geo.
Tedford's house. An ordinary -look-
ing egg was -picked up to use, and
when broken, instead of a yelk inside
was found a second egg fully develop-
ed. This was broken, and another
found inside of it, which, upon being
broken, was found to contain an or-
dinary pea,that bad started to sprout.
Mr Tedford vouches for the truth of
this, being present in the house at
the time the eggs were broken.
DOHERTY PIANOS.—Notwithatand-
ing the fact that the Doherty Organ
Factory is taxed to the utmost to fill
orders for organs, there Is a bare pos-
sibility of Mr Doherty adding the
' manufacture of)pianos. About the
only thing in the way is want of room.
The 200 organs made pet month, by
100 men, occupy all the space in the
present immense factories. We hope
fri!fg Doherty will see his -way clear to
enlarge and add this very important
industry to his already large organ
trade. We know if he starts at all it
will be at the top. The first piano
made will be the beat possible.

Thomas, son of Mr Wm. Higgins.
of Crediton, formerly of Clinton, died
on Monday. He has been afflicted
by a paralytic stroke for over two
years, and was aged 23 years.
HEAPS OF FUN.—Mr Horton, of
Usborne, arrived here the other day
with a drove of wild ponies from Ore-
gon. They were placed in the pound
yard, as they had never been broken
or handled, and they could not be
persuaded to go into a building. He
proceeded to sell them to whoever was
willing to buy, and it was necessary
to lasso them in order to get a halter
or tie -strap on them at all. They
were a pretty vicious lot, as they
would ' kick and bite in the.. most
threatening manner,but when broken
in are said to •make good drivers.
There was considerable sport watch-
ing their manaevures, and .at 'times it
looked like cruelty to use them as
they were used,but as they weredumb
brutes, no one thought it any harm.
Several wore sold 'to parties in this
neighborhood and the remainder taken
south.
Was HE THE THIEF.—Friday after-
noon a man drove into town and
wanted to trade horses With Jim
Beattie. He claimed to• come from
near Ilderton,and wanted to get a farm
horse in exchange for the one he was
driving, which was a roadster. After
a trade had been effected, but before
Beattie had paid over to him the mo-
ney consideration wanted, several
things gave rise to a-auspislon that
he was not the party he represented
to be, and when those suspicions were
expressed, he refused to trade, sod at
once drove away. Next day Constable
Tedford received from the London
police a description of a horse that
had been stolen near Ilderton, with
that of the- man also, which tallied
closely with the horse and man here
on Friday. No trace, however,could
be secured of the fellow, and the pro-
babilities are that if he was the per-
son wanted, he had managed to get
away and dispose of his booty.
A LOT or Totroas.--The way some
of the members of the Seaforth la-
crosse club, and its sympathizers, last
Wednesday, tried to maltreat Mr W.
Malloch, of Clinton, who umpired
the game for them, shows thein to be
a lot of blackguards, who should be
made to spend a month 2n jail at
hard labor, We do. not believe Mr
Malloch would give an unfair deci-
sion, but even if he did,this would be
no excdse for conduct that would dis-
grace barbarians, let alone a lot •of
people who pride themselves on their
culture. A resident of Goderich,
who was a disinterested spectator,
tells us that a large number of wildly -
excited persons chased Malloch to
the train,one of the windows of which
was broken with atones, and he is sat-
isfied that if they had got hold of him
in their frenzied condition, he would
have been very badly hurt. The re-
spectable people"of Seaforth should
show their disapproval of and stamp
out such ruffianism as has been dis-
played there on more than one oc-
casion. A gentleman, who has been
a financial supporter of the club at
Seafortb, informed us that he was so
completely disgusted with the un•
gentlemanly actions that he would no
longer have anything whatever to do
with it, and be knew many more who
were of the same opinion.' But any-
one reading the Seafortb liapers would
never know that anything out of the
ordinary transpired, so far as the last
game web concerned.
EVERY DA
J
Miss Eva Croll, of Parkhill, was
-called home to Clinton last week by
a telegram announcing the serious ill-
ness of her mother, Mrs John A.
Croll. We are glad to learn that Mrs
Croll is now out of danger.•
Miss Grace Rolph, a well-known
resident of this place, and grand-
daughter of Mrs W. F. Murray, died
of inflammation of the bowels, at To-
ronto , on Tuesday. The remains
were brought' here for interment.
The Woodstock -Sentinel says :—
Mr W. C. Searle, ex-mayer of Clin-
ton, has purchased a piece of ground
on the north side of Dundas street,
east, between Love's store and Baird's
shoe store, where he intends erecting
a two-storey brick store and dwelling,
20-40.
A meeting of the East Huron Re-
form Association, for the nomination
of a candidate to contest the Riding
in the coming election for the Ontario
Legislature, will be held in the town
hall, Brussels, on Monday, the 23rd
September, at 2 p.m.
The Chicago British -American thus
alludes to a former O]intonian :—
Frank Irving with J. H, Walker St
Co., returned, on Tuesday last, from
a two weeks trip, to Northern Michi-
gan. He visited friends at Marinette
and Iron 11:ountain, and carried home
a bushel of fish stories.
Local Church Chimes.
The Foresters attend Ontario. St:
church next Sundoy morning, when
the pastor preaches a sermon to them.
The annual meeting of the W. C.
T. U. will be held next Thursday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, in the Lec-
ture room of Rattenbury St. Method-
ist church. A full attendance is de-
sired. -
The Brussels Post thiie alludes to
the recent lecture of Rev J. Living-
stone in that place :—•' Altogether a
very enjoyable hour was put in and
the lecturer well deserved the vote of
thanks given him. The Young Peo-
ple's Association, under whose aus-
pices the entertainment was given, is
to be congratulated on the success of
their venture,"
Rev E. E. Bowers, of Brantford,
occupied the pulpit of Ontario St.
church on Sunday morhing, and
preached at Turner's in the afternoon.
Mr Bowers was the colleague of Rev
W. Henderson, at Goderich several
years ago, but is tatting a year's rest,
as his hearing is defective. He was
regarded as one of the most promising
men in the Methodist church, and his
sermon here did him no discredit.
He and Mr Edge were room -mates at
college.
Last Sunday in Ontario St. church
there were special services for the
young people. Ia the evening the pas-
tor discoursed on tbeHarvestTime in a
thoughtful and practical manner.
The church was crowded,recourse be-
ing had to chairs in the aisleq. The
choir excelled itself in their depart-
ment and the se!eations rendered
were very appropriate. , The young
people to welcome their prstor home
from his holidays had tastefully ar-
ranged some beautiful flowers around
the pulpit and choif, forming a very
pretty picture.
Every week we receive by mail it-
ems for publication not accompanied
by the name of the sender, and they
are consigned to the waste basket.
We positively will not insert items
that we do not know the author of.
We wish our readers would bear this
in mind. We are glad to get news,
but we want to know who furnishes it
It is scarcely necessary for us to say
that our esteemed townsman, Mr W.
C, Searle, and the champion oarsman
of the world are not one and the same'
person, neither are they in any way
related, so far as the Clinton Searle
knows. One thing is certain the Aus-
tralian may be faster than the glin-
tonian, but he cannot " paddle his
own canoe" any better.
Some one makes a note of the fact
that the nine in our date has eome to
stay. No man or woman now-liying
will ever date a document without
using a nine. It now stands at the
extreme right, 1889, Next year it
will move up a peg-1890—and there
it will stay for ten years. It will then
move up to the third place-1900—
and rest there for 100 years. -
Our good friends in Clinton are
booming their fall show in great style
this year, and they are not afraidof
expense in the use of printer's ink.
The prize list is neatly arranged and
publisbed in pamphlet form and the
typography and general get up, is
E
most creditable to the NEW RA
office, where it was printed. If more
of the local shows would follow the.
example of Clinton in this way it
would pay them. — Seaforth Ex-
positor,
The Mitchell Advertiser of last
week says :—Our geneial and popular
agricultural agent, Mr James Jones,
struck oil this week. As well as clos-
ing several small sales, he closed one
sale amounting to $1260 for one Mon-
arch Separator, manufactured by Fer-
ran, Macpherson & Hovey, Clinton,
and one Wateroue Champion engine
manufactured by the Waterous En-
gine Works Company, of Brantford.
The Monarch Separator is second to
no Separator manufactured in this
country, and is giving the best of sat-
isfaction wherever used,and the Wat-
erous engine has a reputation of being
the beat engine in use, for driving
Separators and other machinery
where power is required on a substan-
tial Beale,
