BRIDGE BUILDING.—Mr L. Hardy,
of Exeter, the well-known bridge
builder, arrived in town on Monday
morning, to superintend the erection
of the addition that is being made to
the London road bridge just south of
town.
ARM BROKEN.—On Monday while
the watering cart was on its usual
rounds, the horse got frightened and
became unmanageable, running away
and throwing the driver, a small boy
son of Arthur Twitchell, off and
breasting his left wrist.
BACK TO FARMING.—Mr Arthur
Stephenson, who has been living in
town for some time, will shortly go
back to his farm on the 6th con. of
Stanley, the present tenant desiring
to give it up. Arthur has been a
good quiet citizen, and we hate to
lose men of his stamp.
THROWN.—One Sunday morning,
a young boy named Davie was rid-
ing a horse at a canter across the
market square, and in quickly turn-
ing on Albert Street, the horse slip-
ped on the stone pavement, and fell
on its side, catching the boy's leg
beneath it in the fall. It is a wonder
the leg was not broken, but beyond
a bruise, he was all right.
CROPS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.—
Mr Geo. Hinchley, who represents
the firm of Ferran, McPherson and
Hovey in the Province, returned on
Saturday, from a six weeks' trip east
of Toronto. He says that the crops
here look much better than they do
in the east, and on the Weise farm,
Huron road, Tuckersmith, he saw
the best oats that he had noticed
anywhere in his travels.
HAY.—So abundant is hay this
year, that it is likely to be a very
cheap crop. Messrs Morton and
Cudmore, who Lave been baling hay
hereabouts, have still on hand a
quanty of old hay, and give it as their
opinion that new hay will not bring
more that $3.50 to $4 per ton. They
think that unlees compelled to do so,
farmers will not sell it at this figure,
as it will pay better to feed it.
However, the crop is so heavy that
many Will not be able to feed it. and
it will have to be sold. Mr J Woon
got as high as $6 for some on Wed-
nesday.
A NARROW ESCAPE. —Mr W. W.
Ferran, and several ladies who were
with him, had a remarkably narrow
escape from a bad accident on Mon-
day evening. Be as driving down
the Bayfield road, with a double car-
riage, and while descending Mar-
shall's hill, met a rig coming up.
Just as Mr Ferran turned out
to pass, one of the front wheels
broke, and turning' sharply to bring
the buggy on the centre of the road,
thinking he was going over the em-
bankment, the other wheels dished,
and the occupants were thrown pro-
miscuously into the road. The horses
broke away with the tongue and one
wheel and galloped off some distance
before they were captured. Mrs
Ferran, Mrs S. Rance, and Mrs
Archibald, . were all more or less
bruised, the former more severely
than the others. The buggy was
smashed somewhat.
ARRESTS,—On Thursday last word
came from Stratford to arrest a man
named Eads, wLo was wanted there
on a Charge of carrying away goods
not his own, or something of that
nature. Constable 'Wheatley was out
superintending work at the gravel
pit, and as the matter was urgent the
warrant was placed in the hands ot
Constable Welsh, who soon found
his man getting a meal at one of the
hotels. The fellow evidently expect-
ed arrest, for he "gave himself away"
even before the Constable stated his
errand. He made a couple of excus-
es to get out of Welsh's sight for a
minute, but the latter was too sharp
to leave him alone, and took him to
the lockup, where he spent the night,
being sent to Stratford next morning.
On Monday morning, a man who
gave the name of Clay, was observed
in a store crying lustily, and saying
that be was on the verge of star-
vation. Mr Robt Welsh took him
away to provide him with a meal,
but when he found he could not get
money instead of provisions, he
would not take the latter, he was
then ordered to leave town. This he
failed to do. In the afternoon he
made his way to the house of Mr J.
T. Harland, and finding no one at
home, (though some children were at
play on the lawn) he ransacked the
house, and carried off several small
articles. Shortly afterwards he was
arrested, and brought before Messrs
McGlarva and Steep, J. P's, for trial,
who committed him to fall as a vag-
lt7tant.
Ir''LA LOOALS.—In t1e absence
of Rev Mr Hodgens lett week, Rev
Zr Craig conducted the funeral ser-
vices of Lie late Mrs Punehard, at
Seaforth. We notice that Mr T. K.
Grigg, of London, recently acted as
greoutoroan at a wedding in that city.
His old friends here have been ex -
pectin his appearance as groom for
some time; when is it to be, Tote
It will not incommode ns in the
slightest if some of our eubscribeis
should happen to pay up; it may in-
commode us if they don't. The
family of Deputy Reee Manning
Mrs Coats, and family, and others,
are camping on the lake shore near
Porter's Hill. Messrs Ridout and
friends have been camping there for
some time also. Men are engaged
making repairs to the Salt proeery,
recently injured by fire. There
should be some work for tramps in
the pile of Monte being placed on the
market square by the corporation.
A number of our horsemen attended
the races in Detroit last week. The
rain last week did an immense
amount of good. Part of the Dober-
ity Band attended an evening party
at the residence of Mr James Rey-
nolds, Hullett, last Thursday even-
ing. The Statutes ef Ontario for
the year 1890 have been received at
the NEW ERA office from the Queen's
Printer. On Monday Principal
Lough, of the Model, treated some of
his scholars, who passed the En-
trance, or were recommended, to the
ice cream, in accordance with a
promise made them; he offered to
treat them all, but they did not all
respond to the invitation. Several
ladies of the Methodist church have I
volunteered to furnish flowers for the
pulpit during the summer months.—
Atwood Bee. [The ladies of Atwood
are behind the age, as this practise
has been in vogue in Clinton for a
couple of years.] The family of Dr.
Williams expect to move to Bramp-
ton in a few days. Mr W. Vodden,
of Hullett, has left us a sample of
timothy measuring over six feet;
this is the longest recorded yet, and
shows the wonderful growth for this
year. Kincardine has a fireman's
tournament and band competition on
the 14th and 15th of August. On
Tuesday people nearly sizzled with
the heat; on Wednesday overcoats
would not have been uncomfortable.
On Tuesday evening three cab loads
of young people drove to Goderich,
where they -enjoyed a two hours' sail
on the lake; it was not quite daylight
when the got home, but pretty near
it. People having business in town
should remember that next Friday,
the 8th inst., is Clinton's Civic Holi-
day; all business places will be closed
and the post -office open only the usual
holiday hours. With the exception
ot one department, the rooms in the
Public School have been calcimined,
Mr Jno. Croll doing the work; it is
needless to say it was well done.
Regular meeting of town council
next Monday night. Mr Jas.
Jackson is handling Electrical
supplies, such as electric door and
call of all kinds, for houses,
offices, stores, etc., they are wonder-
fully convenient, are coming into very
general use, and are quite inexpensive
Mr Worsell has a geranium plant on
which is 57 bunches of flowers; it is
only 2 years old and is certainly a very
large plant. Remember that the
Huron Central Fair is held in Clinton,
Oct. let, 2nd, and 3rd.
WELL DONIL—Among those who
?J' eially worthy of credit In Con-
nection with the late Entrance Ex-
amination, is Mr W. Doig, teacher
of S. S. No. 2, Tuckersmith. Mr
Doig has only been engaged in this
section for six months, yet he sent
up three pupils for examination and
all -passed. They were Mary Mon-
teith, Mary Murray and Wm Cooper,
taking respectively 574, 500 and
491 marks; the first named the high-
est marks in the county. This is a
record of which Mr Doig and his
pupils may justly feel proud.
BUSINESS CHANGE. —Mr J. H.
Kenner, late of Bowmanville, has
bought and taken possession of the
book and stationery business of the
late J. H. Dufton. Mr Kenner,
though a young man, has had ten
years experience at the business.
He is a son of Rev J. H. Kenner,
Methodist minister at Kirkton. The
Herald welcomes him to the city and
wishes him abundant success.—Strat-
ford Herald. [This is the Mr Ken-
ner who was desirous of buying out
the business of the late Chris. Dick-
son, and came to make an offer on it,
but found it had just been disposed of.
CATTLE. -00 Friday afternoon
Mr W. N. Stinson, of Stanley, ship•
ped three car loads of cattle at this
station, for the old country. After
the cattle were loaded, Mr Stinson,
and Messrs Read and Cord, who were
all going in charge of the cattle, sat
down in the waiting room, as the
train was doing some shunting, and
forgot what they were waiting for,
as the train left without them. It
was itnpoasible to overtake the train
if they waited until the next one,
and there was no alternative for them
but to engage a livery and drive to
Stratford, where the train wou Id be
held over.
CROPS DESTROYED.—Word has
just been received that in some sec-
tions of Manitoba at least, the crops
have again been destroyed, and
farmers will this year experience the
atone hardships that they have ex-
perienced before under similar cir-
cumstances. Mr Samuel Townsend,
Messrs T. and R. Corey, a son of W.
0. Fowler, and others, all formerly
of Tuckersmith, have had their crops
cut clean to the ground by a heavy
hail storm. Up to the time that the
storm came along the fields looked
magnificent and very promising, but
after it passed they were completely
ruined.
DEATH.—Mrs Simpson, who has
resided here for several years, died
on Saturday evening, the result of
cancer. She has not been in vigor-
ous health for some time, though
her .death was hardly expected 80
soon. She was the widow of the
late George Simpson. of St. Marys,
ar.d leaves four daughters and two
sons, one of the former being Mrs
W. S.Harland,and another being Mrs
Mason, of Wingham, the other two
being unmarried. She was for years a
member of the Methodist church, and
experienced in a large measure that
grace that is "able to save to the
uttermost." She was perfectly Cone
scions up to the moment of her
death.
RETURNED.—Mr John Tiplady
and wife, who have been in Dakota
for several months, returned on
Thursday last. Mr Tiplady brings
rather discouraging reports from that
section of country; the crops in the
neighborhood that he was in, were
an entire failure last year, the county
authorities having to support the set-
tlers and he says that the same thing
will have to be done this year again,
as the people have literally no crops,
and starvation stares many of them
in the face. In the immediate vicin-
ity of Aberdeen, crops that a week
ago looked very promising, have been
entirely destroyed by hot wind. Mr
Tiplady is glad to be back in Huron,
and says that he has no desire what-
ever to leave it again.
IMPROVED STOCK.—Mr John W.
McDonald, of Porters Hill, Ont.,
has purchased from W. J. Biggins,
Clinton, the nine months old Short-
horn Calf, Van Dunck, 12957, he is
sired by Imported Excelsior (51233)
and from Matchless 16th, the dam of
the first ptize winners at the Pro-
vincial, Industrial and LocalExhibi-
tions. She was sired by the noted
prize bull Impt. Statesman (32607)
and Impt. Matchless 16th etc. Van
Dunck is a first class animal, and
Mr McDonald has secured as good a
calf as ever left Elmhurst. The well
known Imported Excelsior, a first
prize winner both in Scotland and
Canada, happened an accident and
was sold to Mr S. Smith for export,
after arriving in Toronto he brought
down the scales at 2560 lbs.
SHEFFIELD LODGE "SONS OF ENG.
LAND.—A large and influential meet-
ing was held in the "Sons of Eng-
land" hall last Wednesday evening,
Bro. Thos. Jackson, W P presiding.
The Supreme Grand President and
Supreme Grand Secretary, of Toronto

orate addressee. One initiation in
