CHANGE.—The banking business
harried on in Elora for some time by
Messrs Gale & Archibald, gentlemen
well known here, has undergone a

ducted under the firm name of Fer-
ran & Archibald.

a parcel containing a lady's hat, a
pocket book and other articles, was
left on a table at a certain hotel
during the absence of the owner.
In {the meantime the articles were
carried away by a person who is
known, and it they are not at once
returned, prosecution will follow.
THE UNIVERSAL VERDICT. --A
clergyman, formerly stationed in
Huron, renewing hie subscription to
the Naw ERA, evidently expresses a
universal sentiment when he says :—
" We cannot get along com •
Portably without your paper. as it
gives us all the local news. We look
for it eagerly every week."
TowN COUNCIL.—•The regular
meeting was held on Monday even-
ing, the reeve in the chair ; Mr Hine
naked for permission to place some
building material on Rattenbury St.,
which was granted him. The sum of
$25 was voted towards the firemen's
celebration on Oct. 2ud. The Finan-
cial Committee recommended pay-
ment of the fol lowing accounts :—For

T. Cottle, men°'and work on street,
$114.66; Jacob Miller, street water-
ing, $25 ; receipts from weigh scales,
$22.35 ; from hall, $10.
GETTING ALONG WELL. --We are
pleased to notice that Mr W. 0.
Malloch, von of our late Inspector,
las passed bis third year examination
in the University of Toronto. At the
time o: the May examination when
he should have written he was con-
fined to his bed by a severe attack of
typhoid fever. Through the inter-
vention of friends a dispensation was
permitted to write with the results
mentioned above. He is now enter-
ing upon his fourth and last year and
we • wish him in his final ex-
amination tbe success which he
hes had so far, he having thus far
passed in every year without being
"'starred" in a single subject.
A WESTERN OPINION.—Writing
from Winnipeg, Mr John Campbell,
formerly harness maker in Clinton,
says :—We have been taking the
NEW ERA now :for over nineteen
years and we will still continue; as
it is like a letter from our old county
every week. We are all well here,
and doing a good deal better then if
we had stayed in Clinton, although
we still think a lot of the Hub,and its
people. We are ecjoying beautiful
weather this week. Harvest time
was rather wet, but -eery little dam-
age done to crops. I was talking to a
man, Thursday, that saw 90 bushels
ot wheat threshed from one acre off a
" field of 1000 acres, and 100 bushels of
oats off 1 acre on the same farm.
Yesterday's Globe says :—At the
residence of Mr J. W. Manning, 72
Brunswick avenue, a quiet wedding
came off Wednesday. His second
daughter, Laura, was married to Dr.
T. Amos of Exeter. Only family re.
latives and a few friends were invited.
Amongst them were Dr. Graham of
Bothwell ; Dr. Clause,iToronto ; A. H.
Manning, deputy reeve, Clinton, and
W. H. Manning, of the Doherty
Organ Company. The bride was
assisted by her sister, and the bride-
groom by Dr Graham, !Rev S. S.
Bates, B. A., of the College Street
Baptist Church,officiate-l. The bride
was the recipient of many costly and
valuable presents, including a very
handsome one from her Sunday
School class. Dr. and Mrs Amos left
at 5.30 p. m. for London, Detroit and
other places.
LEAVING.—Mr D. C. Carr, who
mince 1878 has been a resident of
town, is moving to Goderich, where
he has contracted to do the action
work, bellows and keys for the Gode-
rich organ factory. Mr Carr was one
of the "charter" members of the old
House of CommonstDebating Society,
and always took an active part there-
in; he has been a teacher in Willis
Church School for about 11 years,
and at present occupies the position
of assistant•superintendent; he has
alenlbeen a director of the Mechanics'
Institute for about tour years. The
people of Goderich will find him to
be a " pretty decent fellow" and at
election time he will help to reduce
the Conservative majority in that
town. His place at the Doherty
Organ Factory is taken by the pro-
motion of Mr Sam Booth.
NOTES.—Mr and,Mrs James
MoMath have gone tthe latter's
home at Amhurst Ialaljd, for a few
weeks; before they return an inter-
esting event will take place in which
a certain young gentleman, of Sea -
forth, will play a prominent part.
Mies Nellie Barrie, of Goderich, is
the guest of Miss Hattie Mulloy.
Messrs Plnmeteel & Gibbings have
added a neat door bleu to their
premises. Mr Arthur Wilson, (ne-
phew of Mr Smithson) has recently
married a Sarnia ladyl at which
place he has been working for some
time. Miss Hume, who has been
absent at her home for a few days,
has returned to her work here.
Friend McLean, of the Expositor,
was in town on Monday, copying the
Ehnen Central Prize List ; he was
evidently so much afraid of being
arrested for his many vile libels on
this town, that he hurried away by
train. We understand that Dfr
Thos Holloway has bought the house
and lot on Ontario St., immediately
east of his residence. Mr lAurray, of
this town, bee been laid up with ill-
ness a't, Loudon. Mies Lizzie Gra-
ham has gone away on a three month
visit. Rev W. W.Baer, of Nanaimo,
13. C.. (brother of Mr W. Baer, Clio -
ton,) had the misfortune t9 break his
wrist recently by getting thrown from
a bicycle. Mies Hattie Dodd has
been visiting Miss Birdie Young Sea -
forth. We are indebted to Mr W.
Young tor samples of his choice bread.
Miss Eva Cioll returned to Parkhill on
Friday last. Our friend of the Ex-
positor is getting worse and worse ;
according to the date on last week's
paper it was issued on ciunday. Mr
Frank Jackson, (son of Mr John
Jackson) late of Elora, has taken a
situation in Winnipeg. Mr R. Ag•
new left on Monday morning Tor
Toronto, where he will attend the
Dental College. On an inside page
will be found several communications
of special interest. The present is
the most picturesque season in Can-
ada ; throughout this portion the
trees and shrubs are rapidly changing
color under the influence of frosts at
nights; the variegated appearance of
the country is remarkably interesting
and beautiful ; much more fine
weather can hardly be expected this
season. Fall wheat has made extra
good progress, and looks very well.
Inspector Paisley laid information
against the Grand Union for viola-
tioa of the provisions of the Crooks
Act, and the case was tried before
Messrs McGarva and Steep, who
found the charge sustained and im-
posed a fine ot $40 and coats. Mr
Wheatly has managed to collect $76
for poll tax this year, being $6 more
than last year. Mr D. Witwer takes
the place in Coats & Son's store

Cole. Mr D. B. Kennedy is prepar-
ing to improve the appearance of his
house by addition of a bay window.

Dancey vs G. T. R. law -suit, and
J. H. Morley, of the Great North-
western Railway, were callers at the
NEW ERA office on Wednesday.
Mre Junor, of Toronto, who has been
the guest of Mrs T. Jackson for some
time, returned home this week. It
is expected that the famous McGib-
beny family will gives on entertain-
ment here some time next month.
Mr Thos. Fair has been an invalid
for several days, but is getting around
again. Mr N. Robson and wife have
both been laid up for several days,
but are improving. Mr Theis Hol-
loway was not able to be personally
present at the Huron Central Fair,
being away on business for the firm
of McMurchie & Co.; this is the first
time he has missed the annual fair in
about twenty years. Miss White,
who has been visiting relatives here
for some time, returned to Philadel-
phia yesterday, being ticketed
through by W. Jackson. town agent,
G. T. R. Mr John Ross, who is at-
tending the St. Catherine's Collegiate
Institute, has learned that his
answer papers for a second class
certificate, having been examined
by the Educational Department, a
certificate will be given him and the
honor standing in mathematics of
Toronto University. The Huron
Medical Association will met in the
Council Chamber, Clinton, on Tues-
day next. Mr Frank Nelles, of To-
ronto, son of Mr J. A. Nelles, at one
time town clerk, is here on a visit.
The bass drummer, in the Doherty
Band, is not satisfied with sheep skin
thunder, but now be wants to ring
the bell(a). The late John Crerar, of
Chicago, left several million dollars
for public purposes in that city; it is
now intended by various heirs to try
and upset the will, and among the
heirs are mentioned Elizabeth Men-
zies, of county of Huron, Ontario,
first cousin of John Crerar, and Eliza-
belh McGregor, Stanley, Ont., second
cousin. Thanksgiving day is less
than a month away; November 6 is
the date, not very long to wait. This
would be a capital time for some
of our subscribers to pay up, that is,
it would give us capital that we very
much desire. On Sunday morning
last, Rev Mr Ayers, of Holmesville,
preached in Rattenbury Street church,
giving a good sermon; he was taken
in the evening and was not able
to preach in Ontario Street Church,
and Mr Manning conducted the
service. No less than 27 commercial
travellers registered at the Rattenbury
House, on Wednesday. Mr Heiman,
of the Grand Union, has disposed of
his effects to Mr Chas. Spooner, who
takes possession in a day or two; we
understand that Mr Heiman will go
back to auctioneering business in
Berlin; Mr Spooner is well qualified
to run a good house. On Sunday
evening next, Rev J. W. Shilton will
conduct the memorial service of the
!ate J. Miller Some idea of the
enormous circulation of the • daily
papers during the Birchall trial
may be had from the fact that W.
Cooper &Co. handled between 4,000
and 5,000 during the month of Sep-
tember, the Globe being in demand
more than two to one of any of the
other dailies. Mr 1.. Manning of
the base line, is moving into one of
Mr W, Gregg's houses,Wellington St.
EVAPORATING FRUIT.
Cole and Town's Establish-
ment in Clinton.
One of the staple articles of com-
merce now is evaporated fruit, and
there is as math difference between
fruit treated in this way and the old
style of dried apples, as there is be-
tween day and night, yet we dare say
very few people are aware of the in.
teresting progress by which this fruit
is produced. and the extensive man-
ner in which the business is ea;•
Pled on.
Cole & Town, two )ouhg men from
New York State, and the owners of
the Hvaporing factory in Clinton}, and
with characteristic American energy,
are " running it for all it is worth."
The apples are first assorted on their
arrival, the smallest being cut up just
as they are, peelings, cores and all,
while the larger ones go through a
more careful process.
Several machines that core and
peel at the same operation are kept
ruuning,while busy hands prepare and
pass on the fruit into a bleaching bath;
they are then run through a slicer,aud
from that to the drying -kiln or eva-
porator, where a heat ot 200 degrees,
in four hours completes the process.
The choice fruit is then given time to
season and afterwards carefully
packed in boxes holding 50 lbs and
is ready for market.
The smaller apples go through the
same process, except the coring and
peeling. To Canadians, who have
hitherto seen so much waste in the
ordinary orchard, the small fruit
usually being considered worthless,
the American idea of utilizing every-
thing, strikes one as unusual, but at
the same time, prudeut and judicious.
and when one sees even the cores and
peelings of the large apples utilized
for jelly toundatious, he is led to re-
flect on how much bas been wasted in
the past tbat might have been turned
to good account. This "jelly stuff"
finds a ready market, the small fruit
being pack. d in Darrell and exported
to Frunce, when there is a good de-
mand for it.
At present the factory in town is
run with a staff of about 25 hands,
which it is intended to increase; the
furnace, or evaporator is run day and
night, and it takes 2500 lbs of coal
to keep it going daily. The quantity
of apples used daily is about 250
bushels.
Huron Fall Assizes.
SOME ON THE CASES DISPOSED ON.
The Assizes opened at Goderich, on
Monday afternoon, Hon. Mr Justice
McMahon presiding. The civil docket
contains fifteen cases, but the criminal
docket is very light. Mr Colter, of Cay-
uga is conducting the Crown business.
The grand jury is composed as fol-
lows :—J. A. Adamson, Robert Arm-
strong, J. Beck, Robt. Bonthron, Geo.
Brownlee, M. Braithwaite, Jno Bren-
nan, A. Cathcart, Jas Cox, Jno. Coul-
trice, Jno. Campbell, W. J. Chapman,
J. R. Holmes, Jno Hutton, R. Jenkins,
D. Johnston, J. Johnston, (foreman)
Hy Kerr, E. Livingstone, J. H. Mall-
ough, Martain E. Miller, Geo. Neiber-
gall, A. Pridham.
Hodgene v Tierney was postponed till
next Assizes on the ground of the ab-
sence of a material witness.
Coleman v Johnston was settled out
of court.
Dancey v G. T. R. Company. This
action is brought by Mr Damcey harbor
master at Godeicb against the G. T. R.
to recover $10,000 damages because
plaintiff alleges they wrongfully ejected
him from one of their trains on the 6th
September, 1859. On the first of hep-
tember, 1889, plaintiff purchased a re-
turn ticket, Goderich to Sarnia, and
travelled from Goderich to Sarnia on
his ticket, and on Sept. 6th started on
his return trip. The Conductor took
up his ticket, and in return gave him a
check for it. Before reaching Lucan
the conductor told plaintiff that the
next station was the one he would re-
quire to get off at and change cars, but
plaintiff says the train did not stop at
Lucan Crossing, where he should take
the train for Goderich, and consequent-
ly plaintiff remained on the train, in-
tending to return to Goderich by way
of Stratford. After the train left Lucan
which is two miles east of Lucan Cross-
ing the conductor came around and
told plaintiff he should have got off at
Lucan. Plaintiff said he was going
home by Stratford. Conductor then
told plaintiff that he would have to pay
his fare from Lucan to Stratford, 55
cents, or get off the train. Plaintiff
refused to get off, and be alleges the
conductor ordered the two brakemen to
put him off at Granton. He says that
he was forcibly ejected from the train,
that more force was used than was nec-
essary, and that his left shoulder was
severely injured when he was thrown
from the steps of the car. After the
train had started from Granton plain•
tiff got on again and paid his way to
Stratford. Tho case was concluded on
Tuesday, but we did not get the other
Side of the evidence in time to use it.
For the railway it was shown that un-
necessary violence was not used; that
he was exceeding his rights in going
around by Stratford, &c. Quite a num-
ber of witnesses were examined, and
the charge of the Judge was strongly
favorable to the railway, but the fury
nevertheless gave a verdict for $1,000
damages. The case has been appealed.
The balance of the court business will
be given next week.
