As we desire to add a lot of new sub- scribers to our list before the 1st of De- cember, we have decided to give THE NEW ERA from now until the 1st of January, 1691, to all NEW subscribers for the price of one year, viz., e.1.50 cash. New subscribers will thus get THE BALANC.E OF THE YEAR FOR NOTHINO.— This is a splendid chance which should be taken advantage of at once. For the encouragement of our present subscribers to use their influence with theirfriends and neighbors, we make the following offer:—We will allow any subscriber a commission of 25 Dents cash for each new name sent us at the rate of 81.50 from now till the first of 1891.— There is scarcely a.subscriber on our list who could not send us two or three names if they were to try, and by so do- ing they would be benefitting themselves as well as us. Make an effort: See who Will send in the largest list of new names. No paper in the county gives more home news than THE NEW ERA, and it is well worth the price of subscription. R. HOLMES. • itb.OWlt Z60111:0. LITE STOCK.—A meeting of the directors of the Clydesdale Stock As- sociation was held in the Rattenbury House, Clinton, on Tuesday, to ar- range for the annual meeting, which is soon to be held. CRICKET CLUB.—We understand that the Victoria Cricket Club are ar- ranging for a concert to be given on the evening of Thanksgiving Day. The boys had a good concert ]a.t year, and no doubt the one this year will be fully as good, if not better than the last. A BUTTER FAMINE.—There is just now a butter famine in town, at least a good butter famine. Farmers are holding back and packing with the expectation that prices will advance. In consequence thereof, it is extreme- ly difficult to ee.t bold of this neces- sary article of diet of a quality that is acceptable. • PART OF THE TRUTH.— Judge Doyle is as yet the junior judge of the county of Huron, in spite of his re- moval by an unreliable portion of the county press.—News-Record. The senior editor of the News -Record is still a partner in the business, not- withstanding expectations that he would, ere this, be holding a govern- ment situation. But in this instance, as well as that o1 Judge Doyle, it is a fact that efforts have been made to secure a change. A COMING EVENT.— Invitations have been issued for an event that will remove from our midst one of the most accomplished and popular young ladies Clinton has bad the honor of claiming as a citizen. On Wednesday morning next, at 11 o'clock, in Si, Paul's church, Miss Grace Robertson, eldest daughter of Mr John Robertson, will become Mrs A. E. Pridham, of Goderich. She is known throughout the county as a very clever elocutionist, and we feel sure -that her large circle of acquaint- ances extend in advance their warm- est congratulations. The groom is a prosperous and esteemed business man of the county town. Is THIS THS EXPLANATION.—The Bruseels- Post contains the following item :—" The public will no doubt be taken by surprise to learn that A. R. Smith talks of going to Brandon,Man. • Mr Smith has worked up an excellent trade since his advent into Brussels, but he Bees a wider field in the Prairie Province it seems," As he is known here we have ,no wish to do "Sandy" any injustice, but perhaps "circum- stances" are at the bottom of his pro- jected move, For some time he has been paying attention• to a Clinton lady, who now resides near Brandon, and is still enjoying single blessedness, and as he failed to capture her here, may be not have the idea that by go- ing west be will do so. We may be wrong—and again we may not. TOWN COUNCIL. — The regular • meeting was held on Monday evening. Present—the Mayor, Reeve, Deputy, and Councillors Johnson, Couch,Ken- nedy and Overbury. Several persons from remote points of the town,asked that some•of the oil lamps, now not in use, be placed in their localities, they offering to look after them if the town would supply oil ; the matter was re- ferred to the Electric Light Commit- tee, to make such arrangements as they see fit. The Street Committee reported that all the work ordered by the Council, with the exception of a little grading, had been done, the total amount expended on the streets for the year being $1166.40, which was about,$33less than the appropria- tion. The Finance Committee re- commended payment of the following accounts :—D. Graham,street account, street' ac- count, $76,42;Jos. Williams, lumber, $23.16 ; T. Evans, cemetery account, $1 ; Geo. Tedford, charity, etc., $3.25; M. incidental, le Mayor, $5,GGo. Trowhilfre ac- count, $4 ; J, Miller, street watering account, $17.80 ; the receipts for the labor, 2w0; ll rents, $10.75. The statute labor, $2U ; weighscales, $ collectors bonds, to the extent of $7,000 were accepted. Tenders for impfovements to the weigh scales were accepted. Councillor Cantelon was granted leave of absence, and in moving it Deputy -Reeve Manning ex- pressed the sentiment of all when he congratulated Councillor onn Kennedy on his re -appearance nce atthe Council Board, after a protracted illness.

TETIPGRARrLY DISABLED. — We understand that Mr t. usgrove,teacher, Whitechurch, (brother•in•law of Miss Simpson, of Clinton Model School,) has been compelled to ' relinquish teaching for a time, owing to some ailment of the throat. The Goderich Star of last week an- nounced the death at Toronto, of Miss F. Ratcliffe, formerly of Goderich, which occurred on July 23rd. The NEW ERA mentioned it at the time and gave a short obituary notice. The Star has got down to the tail of the procession this time Miss Clara H Mountcastle is again prepared to resume her class ; any one wishing to persue, under her in- struction, the study of oil painting, water colors, sepia, crayon, lead pen- cil, pen and ink sketching, &c. will please apply at Ler studio Huron at. on or before the 16th day of the pres- ent month. .. The Oakes Organ Co have just sold a fine pipe organ to the Blyth Methodist church, to be delivered when the new" church is' ready to open. They are to be congratulated all the more when it is known they had such good instruments as those of the Doherty Organ Co and the Bow- manville OrganCo to compete against STILL GOING ON AS USUAL.—The Seventh Day Adventists, who were so confident that the world . would cease to do business at the old stand, on Monday, had to leave their warm beds and go to work like the rest of us next morning. It is hard to pro- phesy unless one knows. Still, if any one is afraid the world will be speedily wound up, we hope they won't forget to pay their subscription before the event, for it might go hard with them after. Local Church Chimes. The family of the late James Brown- lee have placed a Communion Table in St. Paul's church, to hili memory. Rev Jas. Livingstone will deliver his lecture, "The Human Voice," for the benefit of Wingham Orangemen, on the evening of Nov. 5th. Rev A.

Clement, of Exeter, will preach in Rattenbury "St. church, on Sunday next, Rev J. Livingstone preaching Sabbath School Anniver- sary sermons at Exeter..

Detlor has been elected as one of the delegates to the general meeting of the Board of Directors of the Women's Mission Society, which meets in Montreal in a few days. The First Methodiet church at St. Thomas has extended a unanimous call to Rev R. J. Treleaven, of Chat- ham, a former Huronite.

It was thought, however, that by careful nursing the lady would pull through,but notwith- standing that everything possible was done, she died early on Wednesday morning. Although only a short time in Mitchell, the deceased had won a very high place in the hearts of those who had made her acquaint- ance. LECTURE AND ENTERTAINSIENT,— The Y. P. C. E. Society of Ontario St. Methodist church hold their first winter's enterfhinment, on Monday next. A grand musical programme will, be presented, but the chief fea- ture will undoubtedly be Rev Dr Jeffery's lecture. ` Dr Jeffery is widely known as an original and eloquent speaker. The subject is a unique one -- "Get up, haw." Mr Will hay, who. is coming here on a visit, will take part in the programme, and his large circle of friends will be glad to greet him. The union meeting of 'the Young People's Associations of the Ratten- bury and Ontario street Methodist churches, held last Tuesday evening, in the lecture room of the Ontario street church, was of unusual interest and profit. Mr J. C. Detlor dealt exhaustively with the character of Abel, which was the topic for discus- sion, and drew many lessons by con- trasting the different sacrifices, and the different characters of the two brothers, Cain and Abel, who started in life with equal advantages and similar surroundings. His address was full of instructive, helpful thoughts. It was what the accomplished leader of the meeting, Mr Perry, character- ized as a "thought !suggesting" ad- dress, for while the speaker dealt ful- ly upon the leading points, there were many which he had time only to merely touch upon. These he touched in such a way that further thoughts upon them must have been provoked in the minds of his listen- ers. Mr Perry, Mr Manning, Ifr Hunter and Rev Mr Edge contribut- ed their quota to the discussion, throwing out additional suggestions, and giving added force to truths al- ready expressed. These union meet- ings are growing in favor, and have a strong tendency to unite more closely in sympathy and methods the young Christians who have at heart the one purpose of advancing the 'Master's in terests. THANKSGIVING DAY.—We are fre- quently asked when Thanksgiving Day will be. We cannot say. The Dominion Government first fixes. a day and then the Provincial Govern- ment proclaims the same date. As yet the date has not been gazetted, but it will probably be about the third Thursday of November, as in former years. An earlier day, say the last Thursday of October, would suit the major portion of the people much better. A late Thanksgiving Day is not generally favored. Why defer it t The weather is usually bet- ter in October than November. Why not have a fixed date and let it stand yearly? [Since this was in type the 7th of November has been fixed] MECHANICS' INSTITUTE ENTER- TAINMENT COURSE.—The board of directors of the Mechanics' Institute have about completed arrangements. for a course of five entertainments comprising three lectures, a program of recitals and a local concert. The lecturers are Gov. Will Cumbaek of Indiana, Chas. H. Hodges, of the New York bar, and our townsman, A. H, Manning. Mr Stoneman, formerly on the stage, now a commercial trav- eller, is expected to give an evening of recitals, and the very best local talent is to be secured for the local concert. The first of the course will be the lecture of the Hon. ex-. Lieut Gov. Will Cumback, who will lecture on the 31st het., his subject being "Invisible Some People," in which a humorous and vigorous assault is made upon gossip And slander. This distinguished roan comes to us with the flattering recommendation of Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States. -Fe-- A A BIG ORDER.—W. Doherty & Co., manufacturers of the Unequalled Doherty organ have placed an order for 100,000 Leet dry walnut, effecting a saving of about $500 on the usual prices. Their lumber yard was never more crowded. LOTS SOLD.—Three lots belonging to the Glew estate, and situated be, low the railroad, were sold by public auction, on Saturday,Mr Layton pur- chasing one of theta and Mr Jacob Slowman the other two. COLLAR BONE BROKEN.—Mr W. Robertson, of the Clinton Pop Works, met with a severe accident at Bay- field, on Friday. He was watering his horses, when they suddenly jam- med him up against a post, breaking his collar bone. CORRECTIONS,—Mr Connell ap- peared on the prize list last week where it should have read Cornish. Jae Reynolds was awarded a first prize that was credited to Some one else. And J E Reynolde got a first prize on a Canadian mare that waif; credited to J E Mr W. E. Groves, principal of the Wingham public school, wrote at the recent examinations for a first-class certificate, grade C., and though he was not awarded a certificate en the first examination of his papers, having failed by a few marks on chemistry, word bas been received from the Educational De- partment that on a re-examination of his papers his certificate has been grant. ed, he having considerable more than the required number of marks on the total to entitle him to' it. Mr Groves is a painstaking and successful teacher, as the work in the school attests.
