TEE Civic.—A good many people
availed themselves of the low rates
offered by the railway last Friday,
and were, consequently, out of town.
At W. Jackson's up -town ticket
agency 200 tickets were sold, and at
the station 120.
SCOTCH THISTLE.—One of the
largest of these old Scotch Thistles
might have been seen this summer
on the neatly kept lawn of Mr John
MeGarva. Its height was 7 feet 9i
inches, and it was only two years
old. When out in bloom it looked
perfectly lovely and any one coming
near it generally felt its presence.
RESULT OF A PRACTICAL JOKE —
A number of years ago, when Mr D.
C. Carr was a small boy working on
the homestead, be ran the end of an
oil can into his foot, the same being
purposely placed where he could
trip on it, by a joking hired man.
The wound healed up, but the foot
bas never been the same since, al-
tbough there is no external sign of
any injury. Lately it has pained
him a great deal, and as hehas not
been able to get any relief, he has
gone to Toronto to see what can be
done there.
MATHEMATICAL. MASTER.—Ur I).
A. Burgess, B. A., bas been appoint
ed to the position of Mathematical
Master in place of Mr Robb, I. P. S.
Mr Burgess is a graduate of Toronto
University, with honors in Mathem-
atics, Physics and Political Science,
also taking honor Eoglieh through
the first three years of his course.
Mr Burgess comes highly recom-
mended and welt spoken of by many
quite capable of judging. The Colle-
giateInstitutg may eongragulate iteell
on the well qualifierj4 man it has
obtained to fill so important a,posi-
tion on the staff, for besides having a
good certificate he has also been a
successful teacher in Westwood and
also in Norwood High School.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. — The
St. Catharines Star of Monday says;
—"On Saturday evening Mr and Mrs
E. Holmes. of Grantham Place, ob-
served their 40th wedding annivers-
ary by a family reunion. All the
members of the family, but one resid-
ing at Rat Portage, were present,
including Robert Holmes (of the
Clinton NEW ERA) and wife, Mies
Holmes and Mr and Mrs H. B. Chant,
of Clinton. and immediate relatives
in the city. The gathering was a
very pleasant one. There are not
many families as large as this one,
eleven children, that have had only
one break during the forty years.
Three years ag6 Mrs S. G. Zealand,
of St. Thomas, (eldest daughter of
Mr Holmes) met her death as the
result of a railway accident, and no
other death has occurred in the
family.
COLLEGIATE] INSTITUTE. — This
year as usual, Clinton is well up in
Matriculation, being abreast of
Stratford, Stratbroy, Welland and
some others, and not far below St.
Catberines and Owen Sound. The
last two places being credited with 6
candidates at the late examination
while Clinton scores 4. As school
begins a week from Monday it will
be to the advantage of intending
students to look about them and
select the best school to obtain their
education. Clinton is an old, well
established and reliable institution,
laving a good building, supplied
'with all the latest aids. Quite a
select library to accommodate stu-
dents in their studies and assist them
in their researches. The laboratory
le min of the best in Western Ontario
and is under the skilful management
of het year's teacher, Mr Giffin. The
Classical department has also been
quite a success thie year, and Mr
Morrow will be on the staff next
year. Mr Robb's place has been
filled by -Mr Burgess, B. A., who
with hie abilities, seems a fitting
aticcessor to Mr Robb. Miss Hume
and Principal Turnbull will also re-
main at their poets, and the future
prospects of the school look bright.
Intending matriculants will do well

A party of young folks went to

The Cricket Club .were defeated at
Wingham on Friday. The game
was ah exciting contest and was 00137
lost after a struggle. The score stood
104, 110 in favor of Wingham. We
believe our boys can easily defeat
the Wingham club, Friday was a
hot day and the drive of 23 miles
was not the best way to begin a
heavy day's woik. However, now
the teams are tied for the season and
the next in order is the test game.
LACROSSE.—ST. MARYS VS. CLIN-
roN.—The second game of the Beason
between these two clubs was played
on the former's grounds, on Friday
last, Au flet 8th, and a very exciting
contest ` vas from start to finish,
'loth tea a playing hard to win, al-
though Clinton played at a disadvan-
tage for about,an hour, as one of the
hone players was sick and could
hardly play at all, but nevertheless
he hung it:out for about an hour and
began to .feel better, and played a
fine game for the remainder; at 3.30
o'clock the ball was faced and for
38 minutes it was a hard fought bat-
tle, when St. Marys was)successful in
scoring a goal, when time was call-
ed Clinton began to play in earnest,
and by a clever shot by A. May a
goal was scored for Clinton. Play
was again started and Clinton had
decided the by best of it for St.Marye
was playing their best when B. Kerr
made the successful shot for Clinton,
play was again resumed and Clinton
secured the rubber and by a clever
pass by Cantleon to Kerr, who shot
through the St. Mary's goal. Play
was again resumed, but time was
called too soon for Clinton to score
again, score 3 to, 1 in favor of Clin-
ton. Tho boys speak of St. Marys'
players as a gentlemanly lot of boys,
but oh my, the Field Captain and
Referee were rank, and the talk of
the spectators was shameful, but for
all the rank decisions of the Referee,
and all the Field Captain's unkind
slurs and body checking, and the
crowd's shameful talk, Ciinton was
victorious over St. Marys for the
second time. Cont.
JEAN GRANT is the latest book in
the novel market, written by Mr
Archibald McAlpine Taylor. The
story tells the history of a man who
won his wife after many difficulties.
He was chosen for an evening com-
panion in preference to a Colonel
Windsor, because of old acquaintance
sake. That night on his way home
the Colonel met him and left him for
dead with a sword wound and a bullet
hole in his breast. However he be-
came engaged to the girl, and was to
be married to her when this Colonel
appeared again. and understanding
that she was an heiress, eloped with
her, but finding she was not the
:Honied girl, put her in an asylumn—
The lover—once—but now a friend,
Bought her with much anxiousness.—
In the hunt he was assisted by a Doc-
tor who had seen her in one of the
mad houses and bad fallen in love
with her. Meanwhile her sister,who
was really the heiress, was to be
married, when suddenly her husband
in prospective , was murdered and
sl.ortly after the girl was kidnapped.
The search went on, assisted by one
of the cleverest detectives on the staff,
who afterwards turned out to be the
same Colonel Windsor. But fearing
detection he set sail for the North
Pole and was followed by the search-
er. Be was found dying, and was
drowned, but said both girls were
living. It appears he had belonged
to the Black Star Secret Society and
after a very exciting time the second
daughter was discovered. The other
girl was also found soon after. The
book closes with the usual amount of
marriages and bright prospects.—
There are a number of good points
noted in the work, its bright cheery
tone, the well woven plot, the nater
alines of the characters. But there
is to much revolver play for this en-
lightened age. The Black Star Sectet
society is an absurb idea. Not but
many such may exist and accomplish
their diabolical purposes, but their
plans were successful too long. Such
men as these are found out before
they are allowed so much rope, also
the many narrpw escapes make it
rather hard on one's imaginative
powers, and the theory that woman's
love is changeless receives a eevere
shock. Taken altogether the author
is certainly clever,and has the ability
to rivet the attention from the opening
sentence and keeps up the interest
to the very last. The literary style
is simple, gracteful and not hard to
follnw,and the language made use of
is English, without any foreign ere•
ment thrown in usually to instal iron
the readart' minds a feeling of awe
in regard to the amount of learning,
which the author possesses.
