GAZETTED.—The appointment of
Mr A. O. Pattison, as American
Consular Agent at this place, has
been officially confirmed, and he is
now prepared to issue certificates to
parties going to the States, or send-
ing stock there.
A N ARROW ESCAPE.—L'ist week a
couple of Mr John Bean's children
were out visiting Mr Currie, relatives
in Grey. While in a barn with their
cousin, looking at some sheep just
purchaiRsd, lightning struck the
barn, killing two of the sheep, stun-
ning Joe Currie, (their r:„usin) and
doing other damage.
FRUIT.—Judging by the apples
coming in, the fruit crop is likely to
be better just here than at first anti-
cipated. Cantelo0 Bros are shipping
apples to Torcuto, and the samples so
Jar are very good. Mr James Steep
is authority tor the s.atement'that he
and Mr Cantelon expeet to secure
about 15,000 barrels in this county,
besides a quan•ity elsewhere.
VOTER'S LISP.—The voters list for
the town of Clinton contains a total
of 858 names, of which 592 are en-
titled to vote at both elections to the
Legislative Assembey and municipal
elections; 192 who can vote at muni•
cipal elections only, and 74 who can
vote at elections .for the Legislative
Assembly only. Nearly 90 widows
have votes. The aggregate number
of jurors is 289
THE HEAT.—On Sunday the the:
urometer indicated 92 ° in the shade.
This is the warmest experienced for
a long time. It is said the warm
wave came from Montana. A good
many people must wish it bad
stayed there. In the neighborhood
•of Qu' Appelle, N. W. T., the ther-
mometer registered 36 ° ,on ly4 ° above
freezing point. What a delightful
change just at this time/
WHAT IT cosrs.—It was suggested
at the council on Monday evening,
that a volunteer hook and ladder
company should be formed in the
tows), and in the course of the (lis-
cussion that followed it was stated
that Fire Prc tection cost the town this
year $1181. This covers all matters
belonging to the Fire Company,
sinking fund for fire apparatus, etc.
It seems a large amount, but there
does not appear any probability of
the sum being lessened. However,
this need not interfere with the forma-
tion of a Hook and Ladder Co. There
is plenty of unutilized material in
town, it only requires concentration
and guidance. Who will undertake
it?
THE RATE OF TASATroN.—Accord-
ing to the• estimates submitted to the
town Council, on Monday night, the
rate of taxation for next year will be
just the same as this —18i mills on
the $. When a Council is able to
provide for its general expenditure,
pay interest and raise sinking fund
for debentures, keep roads, &c; in a
good state of repair, and do so with-
out any increase in taxation, -it shows
good management. We are some-
times disposed to think that the
average ratepayer takes no interest
in municipal affairs except when the
tax collector comes around, or at
the annual election, and if more of
them would attend the meetings of
the Council, and thus find out how
much time and labor their representa-
tives devote to their interests, they
would appreciate a ,Councillor's
position more than they do.
BACK TO ONTARIO.—Mr Wilbert
Foster, , formerly ticket agent at
this station, but who for some time
has been employed at Alpine, Texas,
en the Southern Pacific R. R., was a
visitor to bis old friends this week.
Since leaving Clinton he has travell-
ed over pretty much the entire west-
ern and northwestern states, and al-
though he likes the climate of some
of the sections visited, he much pre-
fers Ontario as a place of residence.
If a man has no other object but to
Make money, he thinks they can do
better in the west than here, but he
,olainis that the entire ab ence of
law In border towns, the non -value
of human life, the disregard ton very.
large extent, of moral laws, and the
absence of principle usually found in
commeccial °transactions, has led
him to conclude that Ontario is by
far the beat place for any one who
*Witte theses and he will take a
eeitien in the commercial office of
jt he C. P. R. Telegraph at Toronto.
The August meeting of the Metho-
dist Churches on the Goderich Dis-
trict will be held at Seaforth, on
Tuesday next.
Mrs Whittiogha,n, of Qu Appelle,
N. W. T., (sister of Mrs John Bean)
is here on a visit; she says the crops
never looked better than when she
left.
Master Andrew Forrester, who has
be. n visiting here the past couple of
weeks, returned to bis home in Clin-
ton on Tuesday last. — Parkhill
Gazette.
Mrs Edge expects to go on a visit
to her home in Owen Sound this
week; it is hoped the Change will
improve tier health, which has been
delicate for some time.
Mr W. Foster after having his
housa here put in shape for occup-
ancy, has decided to keep his family
in Toronto, the children, who were
unwell,having recovered their health.
Mrs W. L'ear, who a bort time a
was in such delicate health that
life was despaired of, has been
ti.e home of her parents in Colbor
for a month past, and is very mu
better.
Warden Lavell, of Kingston pe
tentiary, brother-in-law of Dr. Ree
was severely attacked by prostrati

reported that 40 rods of naw fe been built, half the cost of wb

e;.preened the opinion that the Ce

cottage at the Cemetery, Mr Sle
thought that it should he done,''

believed that the only way to k
the Cemetery in proper order wo
be to keep a caretaker there; howe
he would only keep one there par
the year. The Reeve did not bell
the town was in a position to put
a cottage and keep a meta there
would not be wise to do it, and
would not get a suitable return
the money. The Deputy Reeve
opposed entirely to the plan; he
lieved more in providing for the 1
ing than he did for the dead;he wo
not object to it, if we bad other thi
that we needed worse; he would so
er build a park for the living, th
keep a man out at the Cemete
who would not do any mere than
does now. Coun. Doan thoug
that some effort should be made
improve the Cemetery; he thoug
that it was only right we should
so. Mr Plummer approved of t
suggestion. The estimates, submitt
later in the evening, contained on
the same appropriation as hither
$100, and the discussion arose on th

nd Plummer opposed the payme.
o Dr. Williams: if the previous ac
ount paid by the Council had bee
wrong, it was not right to follow
id) another wrong act. (' u
oan thought that under the circum
tances, the amount should be paid.
1'he original bill was $53.50, and he
llowance of $10 was only for the at-
endance and medicine incurred
his year; the amount was finally
assed with the Financl Committee's
sport.
The Treasurer's statement for the
onth of July showed the receipts to
ave been $1,306.05, and the pay-
ents $1,268.48, which with the pre-
ious amount on hand, now made
992,36 in the Treasurer's hands.
The estimates for next year were
bmitted, and after discussion, adop-
d. They called for the raising of
3,507,45, less revenues from several
urces, and would require a rate of
mills on the $. The estimated
mount was slightly reduced, and
e rate kept at 18!, mills, the same
this year.
O0 motion of Coun. Cooper, second
by Coun. Plummer, the sum o
2 was granted to Airs Lightey to
y the expenses of taking her son
the asylum at Orillia.

A. J. Blain, of Amberly, who has
been atopping at the residence of Mr 80
Arthur Tvilichell, had an operation to
performed on his leg on Tuesday. He $1
some time ago got it injured while 80
playing, hence the operation. 19
An excursion that carried 900 pass- tali
gingers, was run from Harristou to
Goderich, via L. H.&B. on Tuesday. as
Rev J. Livingstone was one of the ed
passengers, and dropped off here to
$1
see his old friends.
Rev Mr Edge will preach in Sea- too
forth next Sunday morning, sacra-
ment being held in the Methodist
church there. The morning service ni
in Ontario Street church wiil par-
take of the nature of a children's
service, being a departure from the
usual sermon,
Mr J. S. Brierly, the energetic
editor of the St. Thomas Daily Jour-
nal, was a caller at the NEW ERA
office, on Monday, having come over
from Bayfield, where a couple of his
sisters are rusticating. That Mr
Brierly knows how to run a paper is
shown by the fact that tbe Journal
is more prosperous than ever before.
Mr David Hill, now of Sterling-
ville, Mich., has been on a six weeks
visit to his old friends in Huron, he
having formerly resided :n Hullett,
and left for home on Tuesday. He
was surprised to find the crops look-
ing so well here, they being further
advanced than in the northern por-
tion of Michigan. Mr Hill,with his
six sons, now own 680 acres of good
land up there, and although he
likes old Huron well he is satisfied
with his change.
Rev W, Casson, of Seaforth, con-
ducted the service in Ontario Street
church, on Sunday morning last, and
gave an excellent sermon. The
fellowship meeting before the service
was well attended, promptly partici-
pated in, and evidently much enjoy-
ed by all present. At the close of
the preaching service, sacrament was
administered,a large number taking
the same. At the meeting of the offi-
cial board, the finances were reported
in a satisfactory condition, the salary
of Mr Edge was placed at the same
figure as last year, $900. Mr Edge
was 'granted two Sabbaths' leave of
absence. Mr G. Turner was appoint-
ed delegate to the District Meeting.
The first quarterly services under
the pastorate of Rev J. W. Shilton
was held in connection with Ratten-
bury Street church, on Sunday. The
lovefeast in the morning was well
attended, many participating therein
and testifying of the indwelling
presence of the power of God. In
the evening the sacramental service
was held, the Rev Joseph Edge as-
sisting in the administration there
of. At the meeting of the offiical
board the salary of Mr Shilton was
fixed at $1000. Mr W. R.Lough was
appointed Recording Steward, in
place of Dr. Williams, Mr Lough
was also appointed as delegate to
tbe District Meeting. Committees
were also appointed for various pur-
poses. The church has entered on
the year in good spirit, and although
it has recently lost some of its most
active supporters, by removal, there
is every indication that the year will
be a good one in the church's history.
Messrs Bert Hodgens, Wilber Man -
ng, Fred Jackson, and others ha7e
"gone into camp" for a few days.
Mrs T. Godfrey, of Elora, (daugh-
ter of Rev. Jas. Broley) is the guest
of Mrs F. W. Watts for a few days.
Mrs Falconer, of Bayfield, was
ticketed through to Carberry, Mao,,
on Tuesday, by Mr A. O. Pattison.
We notice that Mr J. C. Stevenson
has a diploma in his window, the re•
suit of passing an examination in
Physiology and Anatomy, thescience
of enbalming the dead, a qualification
that fits him particularly for the dut-
ies of a funeral director.
Miss Mary Paisley has returned
home, after spending a fortnight in
Goderich and vicinity. How pleas-
ant it is in this hot season to visit a
quiet place near the lake, but if it
were always May how much more
pleasant it would be in the hub.
Mr Ab. Cooper, who has been in
Toronto for several days, (with a re-
turn ticket in his pocket) enjoyed a
ride homeward as far as London, on
the Globe train, Wednesday morning,
through the courtesy of Mr Taylor,
business manager of this great paper.
Ab. simply says "she's a daisy."
BusxN;.se CHANGE.—We under-
stand that Mr G. Blatchford, late of
Kern's Factory, Woodstock, has
bought out the interest of Mr G. F.
Oakes in the Oakes Company. Mr
Blatchford is a good practical man,
and will be an acquisitia.n to the town.
The firm name will remain as before.
We believe that Mr Oakes will retain
a connection with the business, and
will go on the road.
ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday after-
noon as MasterECantelon was coming
home from the country he met with
an unpleasant accident. Quigley's
bridge, in Hullett, is undergoing re-
pairs, which necessitafee driving
through the creek. While master
Cantelon was passing through the
creek, the waggon struck a stone, and
upset. He had a load of eggs, and
groceries, &c. The eggs were broken
and the stock injured by the water.
NINE YEARS iN CLINTON.—On
Sunday last Rev. Rural Dean Craig
preached his anniversary sermon.
He refered to the many changes that
had in that time taken place in the
church ; the present standing of St.
Paul's compared with Anglican chur-
ches in neighboring towns, exhotting
all to hear the earnest appeals of the
church from time to time. The ser-
mon wan a good practical nue. Mr
Chrig's nice years incumbency of t -t.
Pauls has given him a very affection-
ate place in the hearts of the whole
congregation. iSo says our cotem,
and we endorse it.l
