BuILDiNo SOLn.—The large frame
building on Princess St. known as
the curling and skating rink, was
told by auction on Saturday, Mr R.
irwin being the purchaser.
PROPERTY CHANGED. — Mr W.
'Wheatley has bought from Mr P.
Cantelon, sr., the row of houses im-
iiaediately west of the Methodist
l'areonage, Huron St. He has mov-
ed it backand is fixing it up as a
double house, part of which he will
occupy.
Nor AN IDLER,—Mr G. F. Oakes,
the reliable organ dealer of Clinton,
sold twenty-one organs in twenty con-
secutive weeks. This, considering
the hard times, is certainly good
work. Mr Oakes is now handling
organs built under his own super-
yiaion and bearing his own name.
FLAG PRESENTATION.—At the re-
cent exhibition of the Huron Central
Agricultural Society, prizes Ivere
awarded scholars of the Model School
for club swinging and drill exercises.
The amount thereof the scholars de-
cided to expend in the purchase of a
flag for the school, and this (Friday)
afternoon it is intended to formally
present the flag to the trustees.
ACCIDENT. — Willie, eon of Mr
Wm. Cantelon, is confined to the
house as the result of a painful acci-
dent. A few days since he ran a
rustp nail in his leg, near the knee
joint. The wound was painful, but
nothing was thought of it until the
leg began to swell, and it got so stiff
as to be unbearable. It is still so
sore as to require the services of a
doctor.
LIFTING CLOTHES.—Clinton has
hitherto been free from clothes -line
thieves, but it see me that ther eare
some who would follow this "avo-
cation" if they grit a chance. The
other night the clothes of a pro-
minent citizen were left hanging out,
and during the evening a man was
detected in the act of attempting to
carry some of them off. Re managed
to escape, but did not take any of
the articles with him.
- Di:k it or MR SPARKS.—General
surprise was expressed on Tuesday
Qvening, at the announcement of the
death of Mr Ford Sparks, implement
agent, of this town, which took place
at the residence of his father, Mr A.
Sparks, -Bronson line, Stanley. De-
ceased returned from a trip to Dakota
only a few days since, and at once
drove out to the home of his father,
where his wife was. He was taken
the next day with inflammation of
the lungs, and although medical aid
was called in, nothing could be done
for his relief. He was a popular
young man, and leaves a wife and
two children to mourn his untimely
death.
DEATH OF MR KING. --Mr S. W.
Ring, photographer, who recently re-
turned from Denver, Col., owing to
failing health, did not survive long
atter his return, breathing his last on
Monday evening. Deceased was a
former resident of this place, having
been in busineas here, then moving
to Mount Forest, where he remained
for some time, but went to Denver on
the advice of his 'physicians, where
be carried on a successful business,
until his return to Ontario. He was
a comparatively young man, not hav-
ing reached the age of 37 years, and
was married to the second daughter
of Mr H. Smith, his wife and three
children surviving him, He was a
member of the Presbyterian church.
His brother, Mr C. King, of Mount
Clemens,- Mich,, and bis sister, Mrs
B. J. Wade, of Brantford, were with
him befoie his death. His wasa very
promising life, cut short by consump-
tion.

Rev Mr Osborne bas been quite ill
for several days, with an affection of
the bladder, and his pulpit here was
supplied, last Sunday, by Mr James
Young.
The members of the Ontario street
church "did the handsome thing"
with their organist and choir leader,
by sending to the house of Mr and Mrs
W. J. Kay a very handsome set of
parlor furniture, as a slight apprecia-
tion of their past services.
Yesterday the following persons,
composing the executive of the
county of Huron p5 5 Association,
met in St. Paul's church school house
to arrange a program for the next

President, Clinton; A H Manning,
H Foster, J C Stevenson, Clinton;
Dr Holmes, Brussels; Rev J H Simp-
son, Brucefield; W M Gray and J
Smith, Seaforth.
CHURCH ANNIVERSARY. — Not-
withstanding the unfavorable state of
the roads, on Sunday last, there was
a good attendance at both services of
the Ontario street Methodist church,
where Rey James Livingstone, of
Listowel, officiated. His subject in
the morning was "Little Things,"
that of the evening, "Sowing and
Reaping, both of which were well
handled, and received with close at-
tention. On the Monday evening
following he gave a lecture entitled
"Imagination." It was an entertain-
ing address, containing many good
points, and bis peroration was more
than eloquent. At its close he was
warmly applauded. A contribution
of $100 had been asked for, and this
sum was more than realized.
Y. P. C. A. CF WILLIS CHURCH,—
The regular fortnightly meeting of
the Y.P.C.A. of Willis church was
held on Tuesday evening last, 18th.
inst. There was a large attendance
of members and others. )lir Foster
sang a solo, and the choir of the
church rendered an anthem. Rev
Mr Stewart delivered an interesting
and instructive address on the Cree
Indians of the Canadian North West.
Having spent some time in that
country, near some of the Indian
reserves, the speaker had the oppor-
tunity of studying the character and
habits of this interesting race, and
his remarks had the value of an eye-
witness. A clear account was given
of the dwellings, dress, language,
customs, habits and religion of the
savage Indians. Arrangements are
being made to have delivered, under
the auspices of the Association, a
series of addresses during the winter
months, on subjects connected with
Christian missions. The next in the
course will be an address on the mis-
sions of the Church o1 England, to be
delivered on the 15th of December,
by Rev Rural Dean Craig,
THE SICK.—Mr Glenn, who has
been under medical treatment, is
improving and will soon be able to
return home. Miss M. Shipley is
gradually improving. Reeve Mc -
Murchie is still confined to his room,
but is holding his own. A son of
Mr Thos Hill, of the gravel road, is
laid up with fever, but his illness is
not considered dangerous.
A BUSY BEE.—The Attwood Bee,
of last week, was issued as a 12 page
pioneer number, filled with letters
descriptive of pioneer life in that
section and printed on pink paper.
The editor of the Bee knows how to
"get a move on" and deserves credit
for his efforts, as he issues a paper
that is much ahead of the place he
lives in. Tho only mistake with the
"Pioneer number" is the pink paper;
white would have looked better and
been easier to read.
GETTING UPWARD.—It is always
a pleasure for us to note the advance-
ment of Canadians, more especially
when those persons happen to be
Clintonians. Less than a year ago
Mr Ludlow Hartt, (son of Mr C. A.
Hartt) accepted a position in the
office of the manager of the Wabash
Railway, St Louis, at a salary of $65
a month. His salary was advanced
from time to time, until now when he
has been appointed to the position of
private secretary to the General Man-
ager, at a salary $l10 a month. This
is a gratifying appreciation of Mr
Hartt's abilities, all the more so from
the fact that he is believed to be
the youngest (Terson, either in Can-
ada or the United States, who is oc-
cupying so responsible a position.
ATHLETIC.—The Athletic Associa-
tion are arranging for a grand enter-
tainment for Deo. 19th, and as they
are already noted for good entertain-
ments, it is safe to say that this will
not be behind the others. It will be
of an entirely different stamp from
the general focal concerts and as Clin-
ton has many good singers and per-
formers, there is no reason why a first.
class entertainment cannot be given
Some grand choruses, duets, marches
&c., exhibitions on the bars and rings,
comic aonge, solos, quartette, &c ,
will help to make up the program. A
special orchestra are practising for the
occasion, and will add to the program.
The association have lately fixed up
large rooms and it is an institution
which should be heartily endorsed by
the citizens.

Mrs Doherty, or., of Claude, (mother

friends here. Mr Thos. Turnbull,
inspector, Bank of Commerce, was
home on a visit this week. The
apple -packing business is nearly at
an end, so far as this season is con-
cerned. Farmers tell us that fall
wheat never looked better than it
does now; it has had splendid growth.
Mrs Woodruff, of Michigan, is visit-
ing her sister, Mrs James. Steep.—
Miss A. Irwin (daughter of Mr R,
Irwin) leaves shortly for St. Louis,
where she will spend the winter with
friends. Mr D. Graham, of Ingle-
wood, was in town this week. It is
said that a certain bashful young man
in town makes a practice of Lavin his
best girl at the corner, to go home
alone; why don't you take her all the
way, Charlie Y Yesterday Mr and
Mrs Henry Young passed the 50th
anniversary of their marriage; ten
children blessed their union, nine of
whom are living and married; Mr
Young is over 75 years of age, and
both he and his aged partner bid fair
to see many more years of earthly
bliss.
A BUSINESS WORTH HAVING.—We
understand that W. Doherty and Co.
are completing a foreign order for
110 organs, all for one house. Cana-
adian orders for Doherty Organs are
fair, fully up to last year's.
DEA IR.—Word was received here
last week of the death of Mr W. A.
Liddicott, of St. Thomas. Mr Lid-
dicott was well known to the readers
of the NEw ERA, as be resided a'
one time on the 2nd con. of Hullett.
At the time of his death he was firing
on the M. C. R. He was a steady,
sober and industrious man. While
residing here he was a member of
Ontario St Church. We under4 nd
he died of typhoid fever, and . Would
be about 33 years of age. He leaves
a wife to mourn his loss.
Amicably Arranged.
It has been known that there was
some little friction between two well-
known townsmen, which it was pro•
bable would end in costlylitigation
and a good deal of bad blood. Moet
sensibly,however,the matter has been
arranged by the tender of the following
apology, which speaks for itself :—
MR FRED. G. PET0,—DEAR EJIR,—I
hereby. tender to you an apology for
using any expression which in any way
impeached your honesty. I have no
complaint to make against you either
personally or as the servant of the
Bank, in regard to any of my personal
dealings or as the Inspector of Licenses
for this District, and I testify that all
my dealings, personally and officially,
with you have been on your part
straightforward and honest, and I re•
tract any charge made by me against
you, for,having misappropriated a cer-
tain desposit, or any money entrusted
to you personally or as Teller of the
Bank, and I acknowledge that I made
the same under a misapprehension.

ished apple euipments for this season
