Gunn, Clinton, Elliott, of Brucefield, and Sloan, of Blyth, are attending the annual meet- ing of the Ontario Medical Associa- tion, now in session at Toronto. RAINS.—This Section of country has not suffered from floods, as has other portions of the province, but there have been some unusually heavy rains, and consequently there is a pretty rank growth of grass, etc. Mr The CLINTON NRw ERA, admitted to be Forrester Bays that, so tar as flax is one of the very best local papers in On- tario, will be sent to new subscribers, concerned, the rains have been more for the balance of the year, for 75 cents. benificial than otherwise. 1'RIDAY,JUNL 18, 169O. • LOCAL NOTICES.

LICENSED.—The License Commis- sioners for the West Riding met in town, on Saturday last, and in re- sponse to a petition, granted a license to the Railway Hotel, to be kept by Mr O'Hara. SCHOOL TRUsrEE ELECTION. — Nomination, to fill the vacancies on the school board, caused by the re• tirement of Messrs Pay and Detlor, takes place on,thel3th inst., and elec- tion, if one is necessary, a week later. PROGRESSING.—Mr Samuel Taylor, youngest eon of Mr Wm. Taylor, who has been filling a responsible position in a London drug store, has accepted a more lucrative one at Portage la Prairie. $60 a month for a youth not yet 21 is a good salary, and shows the t hard work and industry secure their reward. WILL LEAVE Towx.—Mr Wilson, of Meaford, (brother of Mrs D. M. Malloch) who has been here since the death of Mr Malloch, returned home last week. We understand that it is the intention of Mrs Malloch to re- move to Meaford, as soon as her son can be moved. She is a lady who will be greatly missed, having a wide circle of friends. THANKS.—The NEW ERA is under obligations to Mr W. D. Fair, assist- ant postmaster, for his kindness in waiting up during the night of the election, in order to facilitate the mailing of our papers in time for the mails next day. It was 3 o'clock Friday morning, before be got through handling the edition, and he did it just as good-humoredly as if it bad been in the middle of the day, instead of the middle of the night. FROST.—Saturday was a pretty cold day, andgood many people were apprehene'e that the severe and de- structive frost of 1889 would bo re- peated on Saturday night, and took precautions accordingly. There was a frost, but although tender plants were injured, we understand that fruit sustained very little injury. In 'n few days it will have passed the possibility of injury, and the pros- pects of a very large fruit crop are exceedingly good. 4IJEATH OF MRs. CRAIB.—We are sure that Clintonians will be sorry to react the following, from the last issue of the Norwich Gazette:—"We ch: on- icle this week with deep regret the death of Mrs P) Craib, wife of Mr P. Craib, some years ago proprietor of the Gazette business here, and only and dearly beloved daughter of Mr andrs Wm. Chiswell, of this town, whdge large family circle is to -day bowed low in grief for a sister who was the centrepoint of the family's affection and care. About four weeks ago Mrs Craib arrived here from Chi- cago, where her husband is engaged in commercial business, and where she had been gradually becoming seriously ill for some time. She reached home here in a very low con- dition, and all that medical skill or parental care could do for her was done; she sank gradually until it be- came evidently advisable to summon Mr Craib home from his duties. He arrived on Thursday morning, and from that time to Friday evening she was enabled to speak to him occasion- ally, though only in a weak and dis- connected way. After that she sank kradually and without much pain, until the end came at about 6 o'clock on Monday morning last, when she quietly breathed her last, surrounded by deeply.sorrowing relatives. It is unnecessary to add that the sympathy of the people of this community is aroused by this premature ending of a bright and promising life, and is abundantly extended to the husband and family in their bereavement." SOUTH HURON COUNTY ORANGE LODGE.—The semi-annual meeting of the County Orange Lodge, of South Huron, will be held in the Orange Hall, Clinton, on Saturday, June 14th, at 2 o'clock p.m. Every mem- ber of that lodge is requested to be present, and every lodge is requested to send a full delegation. SUDDEN DEATH. — Cliutoliians will be surprised to hear of the death of Mr Jas. Angus, lately a business man here,which occurred at Hanover, Ont., last week. After leaving here, he went to California. where he con- tracted a fever, and, coming to hie father's home for treatment and care, gradually sank. BUILDING.—Mr H. Stevens has rented the house at present occupied by himself, to Mr Sibley, and is building another for his own occupa- tion, facing Orange street. Mr Stev- ens is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, contractors in town, and can point t8 eighteen houses on one side of Huron street alone, as the result of his work. He is at present build- ing a house for Mr Brians, at Bel - grave. GONE WEST.—Last week Mies Ball and Miss Jameson, of Londesboro,left here for Denver, being ticketed by W Jackson. The former intends to go through to California, where she has a brother residing, and the latter has a couple of brothers who own a sum- mer resort near Denver. Although strongly cautioned before leaving against the possibility of losing their tickets while en route, Miss Ball had the misfortune to lose hers, (though it was found afterwards,) and she had to buy a second one. She will get the price of it refunded, however. University Exatrlituil4lriolii3. Students and ea-studeuts of the Clinton Collegiate Institute at the University examinations.

Hartley passed in Latin, mathematics, his- tory, English, German and chemistry. J. Hunter passed in history, mathe- matics, history and English. Mr Robb, who was writing on se• rood year work for specialist's certi- ficate in science, took an excellent stand, taking honors in chemistry, mineralogy and geology, biology and special paper on physics. The record of the students and ex - students is remarkably good, when the standing of students from other schools is taken into account. Mr John A. Ccoper is deserving of spe- cial mention, as can be seen by look- ing at the splendid position he holds in the class list. We are extremely sorry that Master W. O. Malloch was prevented from writing, by a very serious -illness, as we feel sure, from his past record, that he would have passed successfully, had he been in a position to write. We are glad to be able to say that he is now rapidly improving. The following persons were also successful:—B.A. degree—Miss Stork, C. A. Chant. D. D. S. degree—G. F. Belden. 2nd year mathematics—W. M. Govenlock, M. McQueen. lst year pass—A. J. Mackenzie. Mr A.Whittingham left us a bunch of barley last week measuring forty inches, and all beaded out. • Rev W. W. Sperling was visiting in town last Thursday, having come up from Conference at Stratford. Mrs Chas.. Wright, of Toronto, has been visiting at the home of her pa- rents, Mr and Mrs Jas. Turnbull. The family of Mr William Robb, Albert Street, have all been laid up with the measles, but are getting better. The old friends of Mr Harry Den- nis, of Brussels, will be sorry to hear that he is laid up by an attack of ty- phoid fever. A meeting of the members of the Athletic Association will be held this (Friday) evening. A full attendance is desired. Mr Charles Blackstone, who has been working at Goderich for some time, moved his family to that place on Wednesday. Dr Williams was summoned to St. Thomas las', week, owing to the seri- ous illness of his youngest brother, who is yet very low. Miss Sophie Field, of Salem, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs Sam. Brown, of Hallett, left for Guelph.on Wednesday; her mother still remains h ere. Mr W. Jones is a delegate from Clinton to the High Court of Forest- ers, now in session at Kingston. Mr John Smith also left for the same place on Wednesday morning. Mr W. H. Thomas, of Omaha, Ne- braska, is visiting in town. He is the same old Will, and is just as fond of the fair damsels of Clinton as be- fore. He will remain three weeks. At Toronto University Examin- ations Mr C. A. Chant, (brother of H. B. Chant, town,) took 9 per cent high- er standing than any other pupil, and gets the Lord Stanley Silver Medals. THE ELECTION IN TOWN. — The only apparent interest in the election last Thursday was the driving of voters to the polls. Reformers seemed so quiet that many were afraid the election would be lost through default, and Conservatives, outside of the chief workers, thought the same on their side. But there was solid, tell- ing work done, all the same,as nearly theentire vote of the town was polled. The Reform count, tbe night before the election, gave Roberts a majorityof 30 or 35, while Mr Ro- berta' iends expected fully that or more. When it became known at the close of the poll that he had•only received 19, the feelings of hie friends fell, while those of his opponents rose accordingly. (There were enough Reform votes unpolled to have wiped out this number) In the evening large crowds gathered at both the Liberal and Conservative rooms, to hear the result throtfghout the Pro- vince. About the first information received was that concerning the de- feat of Hon. Mr Gibson, in Hamilton. This was bad news for one party and good for the other, who regarded it as a sure indication that "Mowat's hour had come." As the returns came in -indicating that Mowat had a majority in the Hoose, the joy of the Liberals found Pvpression in cheer after cheer, ane when the announce- ment was rece'rd i that the three Hu• rens were still ,hanged on the side of good, honest administration, three cheers and a tiger broke the stillness of the night air. About this time "the other fellows" thought the night air was unhealthy, end many of them concluee 1 that any further returns had no interest for them. There were no unseemly demonstrations, god feeling prevailing throughout. It was only natural that the Conetrv- ativee should feel keenly the loss of the battle. Local Sporting Notes There was a game of base ball be- tween the Seniors, of Goderich, and the Clippers, of town, yesterday. The Seaforth lacrosse club was beaten in Bright last week, by- four straights, and the Juniors of Seaforth were beaten 4 to 1 in St. Mary's. It is expected that a football match will be played on the Collegiate grounds, between the Rovers, of Brucefield, and the Clinton Collegiate team, on Friday evening. The Berlin Rangers football club was beaten at Seaforth, by the Hu- rons, of that place. Seaforth has now the western championship, and is to play against Toronto for the central championship. The cricket boys have at last ar- ranged a series of games, and expect to play abont twelve games during the season. The Exeter club will be here next week, and the Paris club on the lat of July, so that two good games will be played in town soon: Their Sec.-Treas. has arranged two games with Mitchell , to come off soon. On Monday evening the Gun club had their usual practise. The follow- ing is the result: J McMurray...1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1-10 Foster 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1— 6 Milne 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1— 3 Overbury 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1— 6 Hovey 1 1 1. 1 0 0 1 0 1 1— 7 Johnston 01 0000 00 1 1— 3 Dodds 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1— 5 BASEBALL. On Monday evening a very exciting base ball match, between the Tories and Grits, was played on the Park grounds. A great number of spec- tators were in attendance, and all were greatly interested. There was more excitement at it than there was over the election. The game was very close and uncertain at all times, tbe teams being very evenly matched, The Tories, however, made things a little too hot for the Grits, and won by a single run, with one man out. The following is the names of the players, and the runs, by innings :— Tories. Grits. Mr D. Cantelon, of town, and Jas. Armstrong and Thos. Johnston, of Varna, leave on the C. P. R. excur- sion onthe13th for the West. They purchased tickets from Cooper's Book Store. We • nderstand that as soon as Cooper & Co, vacate the store form- erly occupied by the late Chris. Dick- son, it is the intention of its owner, Mr J. O. Elliott, to overhaul and im- prove it before re -letting it. Mr James Young occupied the pul- pit for Rev J. Livingstone, on Sun- day morning last, and Mr R. Holmes in the evening. Mr James Stevens discharged Rev J. Edge's duties in the morning, and Mr H. Foster in the evening. Rev A. Stewart took Turner's appointment in the after- noon. A painter, who bad been working in town, was arrested on Tuesday, for disorderly' conduct while under the influence of liquor; he was furnished with a ticket for London, where he had been employed before coming here. He was an excellent workman, but was his own worst enemy. Mr W. O'Neil, of Irwin's store, re- ceived a telegram on Wednesday an- nouncing the death of his brother Henry, which occurred at Cleveland, from typhoid fever. He was well- known around Brucefield, where he resided for several years. He was un- married, and aged about 28 years. Mies B. S. Cole, graduate and gold medallist of the London General Hospital, who has been here in her professional capacity for the last few weeks, returned to her home in Inger- soll, on Saturday, to enjoy a short but well-earned rest. During her stay here, by her genial disposition, self-sacrificing spirit and kindly grace she has won the high esteem of all who have had the pleasure of her act quaintance. Long may she libe to fulfil her Master's commission, and thus scatter cheer and sunshine, and be a blessing to the world, is the wieb of her friends in Clinton.

The Baptist Association IWingham division, was held in Wingham, on Tuesday and Wedneaday. There was a very encouraging number of dele- gates present. The reports of the different churches show a large in• gathering of souls during the past year, nearly 200 being baptized in this Association. The different branches of tho.church work were fully gone through and discussed. The home missions were supported by Supt. McEwen, and the foreign missions by Rev Mr McLawin, who has been for some time in India, also Miss Frith, who has been for some time laboring among the heathen, reported the la- dies' work thus).
