JUDGE SINCLAIR.—This gentle-
man, well know in legal circles as a
former resident of Huron, but now of
Hamilton, came up to Goderich, on
Monday, accompanied by Mrs Sin-
clair, for the benefit of his health.
The Judge has recently suffered a
couple of paralytic strokes, and al-
though able to get around, is any-
thing but well. He hat, lately been
in Florida and California, for his
health, and will now try the air of
Lake Huron for a time.
FULL OF INFORMATION.—Always
read the advertisements in your
newspaper. At least glance over
them. They are full of information,
and every day new changes of im-
formation occur. Always read the
"ads" and you will know what is
Toing on in the business world.
hey are full of imformation. \Vhat
a dreary newspaper it is that pre-
sents no advertisements in large type
to which to turn the eyes for a rest
after reading the news columns.
WHERE TO BUY.—We have often
cautioned our readers to have noth-
ing to do with shoddy cloth peddlers.
As a ruje their goods are worthless
and -the buyer generally gets imposed
upon. Always go straight to a res-
•ponsible house and you will be sure
to be honestly dealt with and getting
an article worth the money. In Clin-
ton we have seven good dry goods
stores—Hodgene Estate, John Rob-
ertson, Plumsteel & Gibbings, J.
Wiseman, T. Detlor, Coats & Son
and 'Beesley & Co.—where you can
rely on getting first class articles, and
at the lowest living prices. The pro-
prietors are men of most upright char-
acters, always give honest measure
and can be relied upon to sell the
very beat goods.
LEAVING TowN.—The announce-
ment that Dr Williams had decided
to leave town, has carried a very
general feeling of regret, not only
among the doctor's intimate friends
'but among the general public. He
has been a resident of town for sev-
eral years, occupying different pub-
lic positions, such as Police Magis-
trate, Mayor of the town, and a mem-
ber of both school boards,{that he has
bas undoubtedly filled with marked
ability and distinction, and has
been Recording Steward of the
Rattenbury Street Methodist church
for a corisiderab; lelength of time;
in the Sunday school of which
he is Bible class teacher. Genial
courteous and affable, and of
sterling integrity, be will be much
missed ; his home has been the scene
of many pleasant social gatherings,
and he will carry away the good
wishes of a wide circle of friends.
Brampton will be his new place of
abode, where he has a brother resid-
ing. And he left therefor on Wednes-
day, the family will follow as soon as
be serures a house.
BAER-BERRIDGE.—The Victoria
B. C. Times, of June 4, thus refers to
an event in which a former Clinton-
ian (Rev W. W. Baer) takes a lead-
ing part, and the NEW ERA joine in
the congratulations :—The residence
of Mr George Berridge, 54 Second
street, was the scene of a happy
event at 5 o'clock last evening. Rev
W Baer, the retiring pastor of the
Gorge road Methodist church, was
united in marriage with Annie
Elizabeth, daughter of Mr Wm Ber-
ridge, of Windaor,jEngland. Rev J
E Starr performed the ceremony.
Those present were Mr and Dixi, H
Robs, Mr and Mre Watson, and the
immediate relatives of the contrac-
ting parties. Mies Cora Watson
acting as bridesmaid, and Mr W H
Berridge as bridegroom. After par-
taking of a wedding spread with their
friends, Mr and Mrs Baer proceeded
on board the City of Kingston, en
route for the Dalles, Oregon, where a
short honeymoon shall be spent. A
gifted young preacher as he is, Mr
Baer hae during his residence in
Victoria made many friends, while
.accomplishing a great deal of good.
ftt hie departure all will wish him
and his bonny bride a happy life,
unclouded by any sorrow. The wed-
ding cake, which was one of the most
beautiful description, was made by
Mr Henry Clay. It was quite three
fget high.

onto are visiting here, and Mr Wm.

Mitchell, and the house occupied by
her has been rented by Mrs Van tassel.

panied by an aunt, Mrs McGee, of

weeks, returns this week.
Mr Koelle, of the Molson's Bank'
has secured a position with the
Hong -Kong Banking Company, whose
headquarters are in London, Eng.,
and will leave therefor in a few days.
He will be missed in town, being
active in sporting circles,and popular
with the young people. As the com-
pany that'lhe is going to transacts
most of its:business in China, it is
possible he may be sent there.
The junior:editor of the Exeter
Times has taken to himself a partner
in the person of Miss Clarke, of Butte
City, Cal. The NEW ERA extends
its congratulatione, and trusts that, in
the words of Shakespere, or some
other fellow,
"Unclouded pleasure, mystic joys' repast,
May be their portion long as life shall last."
The only unmarried editor in the
county now is he of Blyth Standard,
and doubtless it will not be long be-
fore he too will go and do likewise.
The Toronto Mail thus refers to a
well-known Clintonian :—Among the
vistore to the Carnival is a gentleman
from Rat Portage, Ont., Mr C. C.
Rance. Ho says business is booming
in his town. The population is now
1,500' and over forty new houses were
built this spring. A very fine gold
mine was sold to Taylor Bros., an
Englieh mining firm, for $150,000.
Lumbering is also being prosecuted
vigourously. Mr Rance is a native
of Clinton, Ont., has been a year in
Rat Portage, and is doing well, 1 Mr
Rance is at present in Clinton]
Local Church Chimes.
Rev. Mr Seldon will preach in
his own church on Sunday next.
A farewell to Rev. Jas. Livingstone
and reception to Rev. J. W. Shilton,
was held last (Thursday) evening, at
the residence of Mayor Doherty.
Communion services were held in
Willis Church last Sunday. Rev. Mr
McConnell, of Varna, preached at the
preparatory services on Friday and
Saturday. On Sunday morning Rev.
Mr Stewart, and in the evening Rev.
Mr Henderson, of Bayfield preached.
The Outdoor Festival given under
the auspices of the Ladies of the Bap-
tist Church, on Tuesday evening, was
fairly well attended, and the ladies
left nothing undone that would con-
tribute to the pleasure of those pres-
ent. The Doherty band did itself
more than justice, and all present
seemed to enjoy themselves. The
proceeds were about $43.
Rev R. Henderson, the earnest pas-
tor of Bayfield Presbyterian chnrch,
was a caller at the NEW ERA office
this week. Rev E. A. Fear, late of
Kippen, also visited us while on his
way to his new appointment—Nile.
The Rev. H. Irwin, who has been
tranaserred to Kippen circuit also
dropped in the same day.
SPECIAL ORANGE SERMON.—Next
Sunday at 3.30 p. m. Rev. Mr. Hod•
gene, of Seaforth, will preach a spec-
ial sermon to the Orangemen in St.
Paul's church, Clinton. The Sea -
forth Sun, whose editor, we believe,
is an Orangeman, makes an intima-
tion to the Clinton brethern in this
connection that we would suppose
was uncalled for.
The service in Ontario Street
Church was withdrawn last Sunday
evening, and in consequence there
was an overflow congregation at the
Town Hall, where Rev J. Living.
stone preached his farewell sermon.
Rattenbury Street Church has been
undergoing internal repairs, but it is
expected that service will be held
in it as usual on Sunday.
FAREWELL SOCIAL AND PRESEN-
TATION.—The teachers and officers
of the Rattenbury Street Sabbath
School held a farewell social, last Fri-
day evening, on the occasion of Miss
M. Trewartha's intended departure
for Quappelle, N. W. T. A pleasant
time was spent in social chat, and
atter refreshments 'had been served
her Sunday School class presented
her with a picture of the class enclos-
ed in a handsome frame, for which
Mise Trewartha expressed her thanks
in a few very appropriate words.
Short addresses by Dr Williams, Mr
J. C. Stevenson, Mr T. Detlor, Res%
James Livingstone and others, all
speaking in the highest terms of the
spiritual character and moral worth
of the guest of the evening, showing
how much she would be missed in
the Sunday School and Y. P. C. E.
here. .All join in wishing her auc-
cess in things spiritual and temporal
in her future home, where she goes
ostensibly to engage in business,
though some people think that ere
long she may form a partnership.
The T4wu Vottpcil ifirimeet next
lgonday evening.
Nir W. Keys, egg dealer, has been
,Gopfined to bis home at Varna, for
several days, but has rettdrned to his
business.
Mrs ,Tames McMath, who has been
vieiting her relatives at Amherst
Island, for some time, hae returned
to town.
Mr J. A. Cooper was visiting his
friend Mr J<we t, of Bayfield, ]att
week. That there were the custom-
ary darks about him is unnecessary
to say.
The other day a young fellow from
the country appropriated an article
out of a etore. Constable Wheatley
soon got after him, and on hie res•
toring the article, the youth was al-
lowed to go.
HORSES.—Mr Aubrey, the well-
known buyer, advertises that he will
be at the Commercial Hotel, to -day,
for the purpose of buying horses; Mr
Geo. Cox, of Detroit, also well known
as a horse -dealer, is buying here.
Mr John Graham, son of Rev. Jas.
Graham, at one time pastor of the
Rattenbury St. Methodist church
here, took first-class honors in one
subject and second-class honors in
two other subjects at the Toronto
University examinations in the sec-
ond year of the undergraduate course.
Who weeps when he is sad, and
augbs when he is glad, and smiles
when he id mad? The editor. Who
has to be both kind and wise, and
never (hardly ever) lies, and when he
does creates surprise? The editor.—
Who owns a heart as well as cheek,
possessed of spirit, yet is meek, and
ves on 40 cents a week? The editor
We understand that Mr John Rob-
ertson has rented the store occupied
by the late Chris. Dickson, and will
move thereto on the first of August.
This is considered the best stand in
the town,and as there is considerable
life and push in Mr Robertson he
will no doubt help business to "get a
move on"
Mr H. Andrews, who has been ill
for some time, is undergoing treat-
ment in London, Mrs Andrews being
with him. We voice the sentiments
of the townspeople when we say that
we hope the treatment will have Its
desired affect, and that Mr Andrews
may be able to return to Clinton fully
restored to health.
SATISFIED WITH THE CHANGE.—
The many friends of Mr Samuel
Grigg, a native of this town, but now
manager of the summer resort at
Northfield, Mase., (built for the ac-
comodation of those who attend the
Moody meetings) will be pleased to
know that he is thoroughly satisfied
with his change in life, and has no
desire whatever to return to his for-
mer occupation.
SHORT NOTES.—The weather has
been exceedingly warm for several
days, the thermometer ranging in the
vicinity of ninety. We are now on
the lower half of 1890. A number of
refreshment booths are in contempla-
tion for the 12th. The let of July
was very quietly observed in town;
the next holiday to be observed, will
be the Civic, which usually comes
early in August.
Mr S. S. Cooper has been awarded
the contract for the erection of a new
house for Mr P. Quigley, Hullett; Mr
Cooper put one up for Mr Tighe
(Quigley's brother•ic-law) and it is
to be the same as this one. Where
Sam does one job it is usually a rec-
commend for another. What's puz-
zling the boys is why Pat Quigley
wants a new house when he has no
one to occupy it, but even if he gets
a new one, he will need a McIntosh to
keep it dry.
The editor of the Brussels Post
libels this town as follows;—"A Clin-
ton sneak thief stole the thermom eter
that has so long been exposed out-
side of the Mechanics' Institute for
the sole benefit of the public. Those
Clintonians need watching or they
will be purloining the weather bul-
letins next and making a mix-up in
the elements!' Nothing short of
$1000 will do as a "soothing balm"
for a libel of this kind, and on behalf
of the people of Clinton, the editor
of the Post will please forward this
to our address.
A JOLLY CRowo.--On Wednesi
day evening a party of young folk
Rumballed out to Bayfield to enjoy
the gentle zephyrs of Lake Huron.
They of course went for a row ; a
a certain young man who had his
Taylor with him then, as always,
Manning the boat. One of the young
ladies in telling us what a pleasant
time she had mentioned the tact that
Her -Bert although doing consider-
able (I:olc)ing was not at all under
the weather. Another of the Ram -
bailers said that he had not for a long
timeenjoyed so Clar-an evening.
GARDEN PARTY.—The young Peo-
ple'sSocial and outdoor festival at the
residence of Alderman Armstrong, cn
Friday evening, was a great success.
From early evening a regular stream
of visitors poured into the grounds.
The young ladies of the Ontario St
Church were kept buoy for a consid-
erable time supplying the atttn'ants
with strawberries and cream, ice
cream, &c. The Doherty band dis-
coursed a splendid program of music
and on the whole a very etjoyable
evening was spent. The worthy
aiderman and his wife received their
guests with every kindness, and con-
tributed largely to bring about such
a grand success.
MYSTrnIora DIHAPPEARANCE. — Lete
Wednesday night, word was brought
here that the coat and hat of Mr Thos.
Gibbinge had been found on the lake
shore, south of Goderich, and that he
was nowhere to be found. He had been
visiting at bis brother-in-law's, (Mr
Thos. Shipley) and during the day left,
intending to take dinner with a friend,
stating were he was going: on the way
thereto he met a son of the man he was
going to dine with, who said that his
father was not at home, Mr Gibbinge
then started to retrace hie steps, and
this seems to have been the last seen of
him. As he did not return in the even -
Mg, Mr Shipley got uneasy, and start-
ed out to end him, and it is reported
'did find his coat, pocket book and bat
on the beach. The supposition is that
he bad taken a boat and gone out for
a ride and met with his death. It is
difficult to get particulars, and consid-
erable excitement prevails here, another
report is that he was seen on the atraets
of Goderich in the afternoon, but this
is not really confirmed. He weI
most highly respected, very quiet was
brother of Mr John 3ibbinge, an was
married to the eldest daughter of the
ate John S)iipley,
