ZOWtl ilOptco. LIBERALS The Reformers of town are hereby requested to attend a meeting in the Committee Rooms, Perrin Block, THIS FRIDAY EVENING. ATr Jaities Howson, jr., has goat" to Loudon to work. Ur J. W. Biter spent the 24th in Toronto, bringing hie family back with him. On • Friday last Mr W. Keys shipped no less than 2,479 dozen eggs ; be is pushing business this season. Mr David Cluff, who has been working at the Goderich Organ fae- tory for some timb, moved his family to that town this week. Messrs James and Arthur Twitchell have a couple of brothers visiting them, one from California and the other from Pennsylvania. hir John Storey, of Godericb, wbo has been working at the Oakes Organ Factory,�has rented a house owned by Mr W. Cantelon, and will reside here. M.t Will Scott, of the Mail Job Printing Co., Toronto, and eon of Librarian Scott, made a short visit home this week. He is an old NEW ERs graduate. FLOWER TRIEVEs.—This contemp- tible practice is often practiced in our 'town, gardens despoiled of some of their ehoiceet plants. A term in gaol might prove a salutary lesson to this class of individuals. ABSOLUTION GRANTED.—A sub- scriber at Sault Ste Marie, writes :— "Enclosed will find $1.50 subscription to the NEW ERA. It ie shamefully over due, would not like you to be as neglectful as I have been for we miss (your payer if it is two hours late." If any more of our subscribers are likewise troubled in their con- science, we can grant them absolution if they do as this one has done. THE CEMETERY.—The Cemetery Committee would be glad if some of the owners of lots in the cemetery would take a little more interest in their loth and the condition of the monuments than they do, as now is the most suitable time to attend to them. The committee is endeavoring to get the grounds in good shape and ask lot owners to come to their assis- tance. INSECT LIFE.—Everything in na- ture is beginning to look green, and we may soon expect the butterfly, grasshopper, cabbage worm, and the faithful potato bug to make them- selves generally useful during the next few months in destroying the product of the garden. The cur- rant worm has arrived, and has -start- ed to work; get your belebore on band, or all the leaves will soon be gone. Now is the time to prune your fruit trees; cut out the black knot from your plum trees. Away with the locust, poplar and willow; they are destroying your gardens. Cut down dead trees and make fire wood of them. A HEAVY STORM.—A heavy storm of rain and lightning passed over town on Friday morning, about 1 o'clock, doing Blight damage. It struck the Rattenbury street Metho- dist church, on the North-east gable, demolishing the chimney, and tear- ing off the shingles in two places, and making boles through the roof boards, but doing no damage to the ceiling. It -tore some bricks from the end wall, scattering the pieces over the fence against Mr Searle's kitchen door.— Tne electric lamps at Mr Searle's cor- ner and at Fair's mill were put out of order, and had to be repaired; the carbons were broken to pieces. 7".m: ,,r; Every Liberal should go out and vote for Mowat, oli Thursda Lowal Sporting Notes CSSICEBL 1t1 x patuc,,of cricket planed agalz t „fa t . the ,reterhoro Glatt,. topped score on bib side in both \innings. ing the first be wade 13 not out, and is the second 17. lie also bowled very Welk This gentlemen, as tnany of the readers of the Eats know, is a Clinton boy, and one who has learned his cricket in our town.

W H Poole, formerly of God- erich, ie around disposing of bis book entitled Anglo -Israel. It seems to be a highly popular work, as the press speak well of it. Mrs Campbell, a former resident of this place, whose husband at one time kept a jewellery store in London, and also ran the old St Nicholas Hotel in that city, for a while, died Thursday night. Mrs Geo. E. Pay left on Monday morning for St Catharines, where Mr Pay is now residing. She went "over- land," taking a horse and buggy and would mate her destination in about tour days' driving. CATTLE KILLED.—Tire morning train coming south, on the L. H. & B on Tuesday, ran into a couple of two- year-old cattle, at the gravel road (near Carbett'e,) and killed both. They were branded W. M. on the horns. Mr D. Robb, of the Collegiate staff arrived in town on Wednesday from Toronto, where he has been writing for a still higher degree than the one he now possesses. He was met at the station by about fifty of his stud- ents who gave their favorite a hearty cheer as he stepped from the train. He resumes teaching on Monday next. THE INSPECTORSHIP.—Up to date the applicants for the position of inspector of public schools for East Huron are:—James Turnbull, princi- pal of Clinton Collegiate Institute; Mr Park, principal Goderich Model School; Mr E. Bruce, of Toronto, formerly a teacher in the northern part of the county; and Mr Murray, of Toronto Normal school, formerly of Rodgerville. D. Robb, Clinton ollegiate Institute. CoxcaRT.—The C. A. A. A. are arranging for another grand concert for the evening of June 10th. As they are noted for giving only first- class entertainments the public may rest assured that their best efforts will be put forth to make this even better than the last; among those who will take part ire the Misses Stevenson, daughters of Ex -mayor Stevenson, of Guelph, Profs Trevor and ;Rickaby, and the singing class, which is com- posed of over 50 voices, besides other local talent. Plan at Jackson Bros A RISKY THING TO DO.—The rope that should be attached to the flag- pole on the top of the market building having become detached, it was nec- cessary to be replaced before the flag could be hoisted. No one cared to climb the pole, until Mr H. C. Brewer came along, when he volun- teered to do it, and in the most non- chalant and unconcerned manner he climbed the slim and shaky pole, put the rope through the hole at the top, waved his hand to those watching him, and came down as unconcerned as if he had done nothing unusual. DEATH OF MRS WERRY.—We ate very sorry indeed to announce the death of Mrs James Werry, which event occurred after a short illness, on Saturday night last. She was ONWARD IS THE WORD.—The principal of the firm alluded to in the following paragraph is an old Clin- tonian, having gained his experience in the Dry Goods Palace:—The enter- prising firm of A. H. Loflt & Co. is determined to reach the top rung of the dry goods ladder, Since starting business in St Marys, this firm hae been gradually enlarging from time to time their present premises until at last the utmost limits of the build- ing's capacity have been reached and their ever increasing business cannot longer be confined within its walls. To keep up with the demands of their trade they have completed a contract for the erection of one of the finest and most commodious buildings in the town, just two doors east of their old stand. It will be two stories bigh 26i feet wide and 122.1 feet long. The building will be ready for occupation on the first day of September next. CATTLE.—There was a large ship- ment of May cattle from here last week, the weigh clerk being at bis post nearly all day Saturday, though be could have enjoyed a holiday just as well as anyone else.

Clinton Juniors vs. Wingham Seniors On the 24th the lacrosse team did not line up as sharply at 9 a. m- as was advertised, but, instead of the game starting, a dispute arose, the Wingham club wanting to play with senior players. Of course this was not what our Juniors went to Wing - ham to do. Their intention was to play against the Juniors of Wingham, but, instead, they had either to play against whoever the home club put on the team, or not play at all. The Clintons, thinking this was too much of a snap for Wingham, left the field at 10.30. They hated, however, to go home without having a game, so went on the field at 1 p.m. The ball was faced at 1.15, and shortly after the first goal was scared for Clinton in seven minutes, by a clever shot by that popular player, Al. May. After much work and hard playing the ball was shot at the Clinton goal, and went fully six inches over the flags. So, having frightened the Wingham umpire, who was a small boy, he gave his decision that it was a goal. Score 1 to 1. After this game the Clinton team had by far the beet of the play, keeping the Wingham defence very busy. Much pretty paasing was done by our home players, one pretty bit of work was that in which Fair, May, Kerr and Kennedy participated, Kerr getting the ball all alone in front of the goal, made a shot which, through the unkindest of luck, went a few inches wide. The last goal was made by a Wingham player, who threw from the centre of the field. Cottle, the Clinton goal keeper, misjudged it, and it went rolling through. Thus ended the Dauntless' first game of the season, outside of the field. Our boys say that the Wingham boys are a fine set, and that they could not have been better entertained. They will try bard to give them a pleasant time, when the Wingham club plays the return game here. Surely Wing - ham, in her zeal to win, should not resort to any unfair Weans to do so, and it is not the proper thing to im- pose on a visiting club, who are not in a position to retaliate. But our club will show them true gentleman- liness, when they have the pleasure of playing with them on their own grounds. The lacrosse club expect to have the pleasure of playing 'a match with the Juniors of St. Mary's here soon. Sec.-Treas.

It is expected that a return match will be played here soon, between the Goderich Bigh School football club and the Collegiate team of town.— born in The township of Usborne, The Collegiates expect to soon have Oct. llth, 1850, and was the third the pleasure of playing against the daughter of Wm. Perkins, Esq., of Brucefield club, on the Institute Exeter. About four weeks ago she grounds. was taken ill; it was thought at first she would recover, but on Thursday last there was a change for the worse, Mr A. 51. Williams, late of the and notwithstanding a that skilled Unions of Wroxeter and Gorrie, has treatment and best of rsing could do, she did not rally, bquietly fell asleep on Saturday evening, the 24th inst., about 11 o'clock. The funeral took place from her husband's resi• deuce on Tuesday afternoon, and was attended by a large circle of relatives and friends. The Rev.Mr Edge con- ducted the funeral obsequies. Mrs Werry was a sincerechristian, a mem- ber of the Ontario Methodist church. Members of the church and choir tendered their sympathies, accompan. ied with large contributions of flow- ers. In her death the church loses a games held in Wingham, on the 24th. much respected and useful member, He took 1st prize in the running hop, the husband a devoted wife, and the step and jump, and 2nd in the 220 yard race, and also in throwing the shoulder atone. NOTES. been secured by the baseball club, to pitch for them this season. He is a splendid curve pitcher, and is just what the club has wanted for years. They hope to be able now to "do up" anything west of Montreal. A number of persons in town will be pleased to hear that Mr T. D. Hodgens' London, horse, Kite String, won the queen's plate, the most popu• lar of Canada's races, at Toronto, on the 24th. Mr T. Agnew, of the Collegiate In- stitute, took part in the athletic children an affectionate and loving mother. We bespeak for the family the sympathy of the community in this hour of sad bereavement. She leaves two children, both of whom have been seriously ill, also, but are now out of danger. Local Church Chimes. Rev J. Livingstone lectured in Blenhiem on Tuesday. The rite of baptism was adminis- tered at the Baptist church on Sun- day evening last. Rev. J. Galloway will preach in Ontario St. Church, on Sunday morn- ing next, and in Rattenbury St. Church in the evening. The Clinton Branch Bible society bas devoted the sum of $100 to the Upper Canada Bible Society, besides passing some funds to their purchase account. Rev A. McKibbon is now supplying for the Rev W. W. Sperling, Tees - water. Our young friend recently completed his first year's Art course. He will conclude his "heart" course ere long also. The regular monthly fellowship meeting will be held in the Method- ist churches, on Sunday morning next. That in Ontario Street will commence sharp at 9.30 a. m. and in Rattenbury Street at 10 a. to. On Sunday evening, during service in the Rattenbury St church, one of the wires that convey the current to the electric light, broke, and still smoking, swung in close proximity to a lady's bead. It created a little confusion but was eecured without doing any injury, The 24th, as far as sports were con- cerned, was a very quiet day in town. The only sports were practise games of cricket and base ball, on the park grounds in the afternoon Sides in cricket were' chosen by Messrs Mac- murchie and Chidley, the latter's side being victorious by one innings. A number of the local sports went to Wingham, to see our lacrosse boys play there, and a number took in the baseball tournament at Exeter. A few also went t, Seaforth and Lon• don. In Exeter the St. Mary's team did not play, but Exeter and London had two games, Exeter winning the morn- ing game by 7 to 6, and London win- ning the afternoon game by 8 to 7. Dundas was to have played Sea - forth town club in football, but failed to put in an appearance. The quarterly Official Board of the Elm Street Methodist Church, Tor- onto, has passed a very compliment- ary resolution in reference to their pastor, Rev. D. G. Sutherland, D. D., formerly of Clinton, which. in addi- tion to other kindly references to hie work among them, says the board 'embraces this opportunity, on the eve of his departure, of placing on record its high appreciation of the services he has rendered to the cause of Gad on this circuit, and its unqualified esteem for his Christian character, His pulpit labors have been charactre- ised by a exceptionally clear exposi- tion of the divine word, the eloquence of the orator and the erudition of the scholar, and bas been highly accept- able to our people." 0 NEW SPRING GOOD - CLINTON Queeii's Dirthday Our stock of spring goods is now fully assorted in every department, an our prices right.
