WILFUL INJURY TO PROPERTY.— During the holidays some persons have been making themsleves too free with the Gymnasium in connection with the Collegiate Institute. As a matter of security, the windows had been barred with heavy iron bars, but this was broken in and the appar- atus injured in various ways. The board has determined to prosecute in future, anyope found guilty of injur- ing the property. rmiitt.-4atued sot - of 131y 1i> Wee - charged by inspector l'*ieley, with violation of the Crooke Act.

Dale, of Hullett, delivered in Clinton, yesten day, 80 head of cattle that weighed 42430 lbs. or an average of over 1400 lbs. each. This is unusually good weight for young cattle, and if any one can beat them Mr Dale would like to hear of it. These were Bold to Andrews & Bawden, of Goderich, who shipped three car loads. HEAVY DUTIEB.—The other day a certain person received a parcel from a friend in Buffalo, sent as a present. It was not much larger than a man could carry in his pocket, and bad this written on its face "value $2•" The duties and charges on the pack- age amounted to only $2.50, and then the Customs Collector was generous enough not to charge him all he could have done for the clearance papers.

The prisoner was brought here aad tried before Magistrate McGarva, who found sufficient evidence to war- rant him in commiting prisoner for trial. Bail was subsequently granted in the eum of $400. BADLYHURT.—Mr W Keys got a tumble on Saturday that has confined him to his room for several days. He was sitting on a load of egg boxes on a waggon, when a quick movement of the horse threw him backwards. He sustained no particular injury be- yond the fall and was able to:go about his work that afternoon as usual, but the next day and since, felt so sore that he couldn't move and is not yet able to get about. NO FRAUD HERE.—The Toronto papers admitted that their Summer Carnival was a huge failure, and ap- ologised to the public therefor, and now the Kincardine papers are apolo- gizing because their Firemen's Tour- nament and Carvival of Sport was not what they expected it to be. The Huron Central Fair to be beld, Oct., 1-2 3 will require no apology, because it will be all that its promoters claim for it. viz :—One of the best and most attractive exhibitions in Western Ont- ario. See that you have the proper date in your note book, so that you won't miss it. DIED IN TIIE SOF IR.—Many of our readers will remember Mr Thos. 1). Morton, a former resedent of this place, who subsequently resided in Tuckersmith, and they will be sorry •to learn of his death, which occurred a few days since at a small place in North Carolina, where he has been living lately. The cause of death was typhoid fever. He has a son still living in Tuckersmitb. FALL FAIR. ---It is expected that the fall Fair in Clinton this year will be among the best ever held in this place. The directors are determined to do their part in the matter, and from the numbers who are taking a deeper interest in the exhibition than a formerly, it is a hopeful sign. The exhibits, hbo, ought to be good in quality, so that altogether a most successful show may be confidently looked forward to. It will be held on let, 2nd and 3rd of October. SHoog THE DUST.—The following appears in the Globe of Saturday :— "J. P. Thompson, more familiarly known as 'Yankee Thompson,' a cab- inetmaker in Bell & Co's factory, at Guelph, for the past three years or over, is supposed to have eloped wlth .Annie Bracken, of Guelph. Thomp. son came fromClinton, having a dis- agreement with his wife, and thus they separated. After this Mrs Thompson removed to Bowmanvillo, and it is said that no further com- munication existed beyond Thomp- son sending a trifle now and again for the support of his family,wbich is said to consist of two boys and two girls well matured. A year or eo atter Thompson went to Guelph he became acquainted with Annie Brack- en,' is now about twenty years olcd, her gay caoalier being over twice that age, and made such desperate advances that the proprietors of the boarding house where Annie stayed would not tolerate hie visits, and the fair Annie was compelled to seek a new boarding house.. On Tuesday, Thompson having induced a shop - mate to buy a ticket, left for Chicago on the midnight train, and his Annie followed him on the midnight train on Tuesday. Thompson has a few creditors, but the separate amounts, principally livery accDunts, don't amount to much of a grand total. Hie clothes, tool chest and the few tools in it will more than pay for his hotel board. Nono, 1, The Bisbon, of gurou bas appointed Rev, J. F. Parke, of Belle, fontaiue, Ohio, to the incumbency of Christ Church, Listowel; Mr Parke 'boa evidently not found the States all be anticipated, as it is only a short time since he left Blyth; he was at one time a teacher at Summerhill — While driving through town on Mon- day ?dr T. C. Pickard lost from hie waggon a parcel containing railway tickets, letters, &c., as it is of n4 nae except to the party it was intended for, the Soder will confer a favor by returning it. On Tuesday, Mr E. Watson, of Blytb, shipped four car load.of cattle from here to the old country and four car load' from Mitchell. On Sunday a evening Bap- tisimal service will be held at the Baptist church; Mr Seldon will preach p his farewell sermon on the evening I of Sunday Sept. 7th. Fair's mill is now running again in full blast. Mise Williams of the Western Union Tele- graph Office, Binghampton, N. Y. is home on a visit. Mr Seldon, who has been ably conducting the services in the Baptist church here; returns to College next week; who his suc- cessor will be is not yet decided. The ringing of the school bell, a sound so pleasant to average boy and girl, was heard again on Monday, after seven weeks' [stillness. The Goderich Council places $175 in its estimates for printing, for next year; this is just $75 more than the Clinton Council estimated for the same pur- pose. The directors of the Huron Centralexhibition have been sole tour - range for the special Manitoba ex- hibit that is this year being prepared for attendance at the principal Fairs. The Clinton Flax Mill started opera- tions last week; it is one of the best and most complete establishment of the kind in the county. A stalk of corn, nearly twelve feet high, is on exhibition at R. Fitzsimons; it was taken from a field that was nearly all as high, grown by Mr NcCartney, of Brucefield cheese factory. We are glad to learn that Mr Bruce's con- dition during the past week has much improved, but it is quite likely that it will be some time before he is himself again. Mr James Lobb, for- merly G. T. R. freight agent here, has recently been promoted to the posi- tion of cashier at Galt; Jim is climb- ing up. Cantelon Bros. shipped over 150 baskets of plume on Wednesday. The directors of the Goderich Fall Fair were doubtless thoughtful in their motive when they put a list of other fall fairs in the end of the prize list, but it was carleseness to mention the date of Clinton Show as "Sept 23- 25" when the only dates ever fixed or announced were that on which the show will be held, Oct. 1.2.3. Rev. Mr Irvine occupied the pulpit of the Rev. J. Edge last Sabbath and gave two excellent sermons; the Rev. Jas. Harris, of Benmiller, will occupy the same pulpit next Sabbath, and it is expected that Mr Edge will be home for his own work the following week. Mrs C. C. Rance expects to leave in a few days for Rat Portage, Ont., where Mr Rance is in business. Plumsteel & Gibbings have removed to the store lately occupied by Detlor & Co. A street faker who was trying to work the jewellery racket, opened for business on Tuesday, but he could not get anyone to bite and he soon closed up disgustedly; it was the old "Mexican Charlie" fake of giving purchasers their money back until he got the purchase raised to a high fig- ure, when he would have made some of them drop their pile Meeere. J. McMillan, M. P., and J. T. Garrow, M. P. P., were both in town on Tues- day; of course it was purely accident- al that they both should be here on the day of the races. The morning train south on the L. H & B., killed a horse the other side of Londesboro', on Monday; we did not learn who it belonged to. Conductor Schwab has taken the run on the L. H & B. for- merly in charge of Conductor Bailey. The London Free Press speaks of Seaforth as "that village," this is "too awfully awful," and the Free Press will either have to retract its statement, or cease sending any of its papers to "that village." Mr Fred Webb and wife, of New York, are visiting relatives here. Mr Holmes, (brother of Mrs Andrews) who has been away iu the States for about a year is back on a visit. Air Henry Joyner has bought the house and llot at the northern limit of Albert street, formerly occupied by the widow Smith, now deceased. Mr Will Ted- ford has secured a responsible posi- tion in the large establishment of Marshall, Field & Co., Chicago. Mr John Bean left with us samples of a very fine plum grown by himself this year; they are of the Washington var- iety and are an unusually large plum. Mr Robt. Spear, of Ridgetown, form- erly of Stanley, is visiting friends in this vicinity, and was a caller at the NEW ERA office; Mr Spear's father and Itir E. Holmes' father, were both members of the same company in the 7th Hussars, in the old country. Mrs Keachie, of Galt, who has been spend- ing some time with friedds here, re - turned home on Friday. Mr J. R. Powell, of Detroit, was a visitor to town this week; Mrs Powell, who has been visiting here, went back with him, and Mrs Corbett also. Mr J. B. Wi son, B. A., of Stratford Collegit t Institute, who was an applicant for the Inspectorship of East Huron, has been appointed English master of Winnipeg Collegiate Institute. — Rev. W. Casson, of Seaforth, was in town on Monday last, his mission be- ing to secure the services of some of the local preachers here w hile away at General conference. Mr Geo. Doherty has bought the house he is residing in. Council next Monday. The President of the Huron Central Exhi bition gratefully acknowledges the following donations:— MC Cam- eron Q C $10.

Buyers from the other side have made their appearance here, and as they are tak- ing "culls" as well as the better class of fruit, they have given quite a sti- mulus to the business. The buying price of apples has advanced to $2 a barrel for choice fruit, while plums are likewise a good price. We under- stand that Messrs Cantelon & Steep have dissolved partnership, the latter selling bis interest to Mr Smith, of Burlington. Toot: BACK A I3RIDE.—The De- catur, Illinois, Review of a recent date thus refers to a Clintonian:— About ten days ago John Irwin, a popular and well known Wabash freight conductor, left Decatur for a visit at his old home in Canada. He didn't say anything about what the main purpose of his visit was, and therefore his many friends here, and particularly a few young ladies, were somewhat surprised yesterday when he arrived in this city with a wife leaning on his arm. Mr Irwin was evidently proud of his choice, and his acquaintances who have met Mrs Ir- win are all quick to agree that he has good reason to be. The wedding occurred at Paris, Canada, Aug G — The young lady's name was Miss Schofield. They will make their home at the Brunswick Hotel about a month, and then go to housekeeping. That happiness may accompany them on their life's journey is the wish of scores of friends. STONE CROBSINGs.—One of the largest items of municipal expense in all email places is the keeping of street crossings in repairs. No mat- ter how good the timber may be that is used for them, the constant trafficsoon wears them out. To a certain extent Clinton Council has overcome this difficulty, and has put down a number of crossings and walke that will cost very little for repairs and last an indefinite length of time. These are formed of stone, procured from a gravel pit owned by the town. They have now been in use a suffi- cient length of time to demonstrate their utility, and prove that when carefully laid, as they have been here, they make the most serviceable street crossings that can be constructed.— Considerable heavy driving has been done over.. them, without perceptible effect, travellers who pass through the province speak of them as the very best they have seen, and any municipal council that wishes to save a big item in future street repairs, cannot do better than copy the ex- ample of Clinton, provided they can procure stone, which is usually easy to be had.
