LIBEL SUIT. — Far publishing e
letter concerning the recent troubles
at Varna, and refusing to give the
name of the writer thereof, the NEW
ERA bas been served with a writ
claiming damages to the extent of
V,000.
U usuAL.—It is something unusu-
al to hear the hum of the mower at
this season of the year, in this part,
yet on Monday last it could be plain-
ly seen and heard on the farm of Mr
W. Robinson,just west of town, they
were cutting clover for seed.
HOME CIRCLE —The Canadian Or-
der of Home Circles appears to be
increasing in popularity, as the circle
here is constantly adding to its num-
bers, one joining at last meeting, and
there being several new applications.
The Society has had only five calls
during this year
ACCIDENT.—Mrs Robert Nott, of
the London road, got a pretty bad
shaking up on Thursday last. She
was engaged in hanging pictures, and
was standing on a chair, when she
fell backwards. Being an old person
she fell very heavily, but fortunately
no bones were broken.
MUST NOT BE DONE AGAIN.—
Since the roads have got a little
muddy around town, people have
followed the practice of driving on
the gfass that may be at either side of
the street, until persons, whose pro-
perty is •thus being injured, have
found it necessary to drive down
stakes as a preventative. It may be
as well to let people know that in
driving on the grass they are liable to
punishment by fine, so they should
in future govern themselves accord-
ingly-
RETORNED.—Mr W. Herbison,who
bas been running a creamery at Fort
Qu'Appelle, N.W.T., during the past
summer, has returned home, and will
remain here for some time. The
company with which he was engaged
were anxious that he should under-
take the management again next
year, but as Mrs Herbison has been
in delicate health for some time, he
would only consent to an engagement
conditional on his being able to leave
her. He speaks favorably of the
crops in that section, and says that
with all the disadvantages under
which the people are laboring, they
are hopeful. His son, who was also
managing a creamery, but some dis-
tance from him, has taken other em-
ployment for the winter, the people
being desirous that he should resume
operations next spring. Mrs Herbi-
son, after a long confinement to the
house, is now able to be out.
FIRER.—A small house on North
street was destroyed by fire, early on
Saturday morning last. It had been
vacated just the day before by the
tenant, Mrs McDonald, and how the
fire originated is a mystery. It was
owned by Mr Paisley, and insured for
$300. It was no easy task taking the
engine over, as the roads were muddy;
and the Firemen deserve credit for
their labors; the wind was blowing`
very strongly, and persons residing
in the northern portion of the town
did not even hear the fire alarm. The
reflection of the fire in Brussels was
plainly seen here, and people thought
it a good deal nearer than it was.
Between 7 and 8 o'clock- on Friday
evening, a hay stack on the farm of
Mr N. Butler, Goderich township, a
short distance from town, was found
to be on fire, and could not be saved;
it contained about eight tons; as
there was no fire within a consider-
able distance of it, it must have been
set on fire.
LOCAL RArLWAY NOTES. — Mr
John Freeman shipped a car ()flambe
to Buffalo last week. Messrs Cole &
Town, of the Fruit Evaporator, this
week made a shipment to Havre,
France; other shipments bad preced-
ed this one. The apple business is
about wound up, the last shipment to
Liverpool havingbeen made• a good
many barrels of fruit have left here
this season for that port. Conductor
Snider is kept almost as busy on Sun-
day as he is on the other days of the
week, for there is scarcely a Sabbath
but he is away preaching somewhere;
on the 7th of December he preaches
two sermons at Lucknow, and on the
}Sunday following he does the same
at Berlin. Mr and Mrs Brown left
last week for Bay City, Mich. Mayor
Wilson, of Seaforth, received a check
in payment of an accident claim,
being insured in the British North
American Insurance Company, for
which A. O. Pattison is agent; noth-
ing like being insured against acci-
dents. Some time ago we referred to
the shortage of cars, and the difficulty
experienced by shippers in getting
freight moved; in justice to the rail-
way, the following paragraph, from a
Montreal exchange, is given as a
reply to the item: —The Grand Trunk
Railway authorities are doing every.
thing in their power to attend to the
wants of the Ontario shippers. In
reference to the alleged scarcity of
ears, and the complaint that the
shortage is due to the fact that Cana-
dian ears are being used largely in
the States, Sir Joseph Hickson says:
"It is not true that the Grand Trunk
common cars have been used in the
way described; in fact the reverse is
the case; the local traffic has been
assintad in many instances by the use
Of foreign companies' cars."

FELT. Iwo -,MONS T HA,NA6, —
WLile walking along the street on
Tuesday afternoon, Mr J. Stephenson
picked up a lady's pocket book,which
ne at once brought to the NEW Ess
office for the purpose of advertising.
It was found to contain a,cortsider-
able sum of money, .and a counter
check giving the owner's name, Mre
El. Andrews.
C. A. A. A.—The members of this
association are hard at Work practio-
iog for their grand entertainment tor
Dec 19th, and our citi;ena may %ex-
pect to hear something fir'at class op
that date. Mr O. Ballard has an
orchestra of ten pieces preparing spec-
ial music. Jas. Jackson has a cam•
pany in training for a fancy march
and drill; and W. P. Spalding' is ar-
ranging special stage decoration.
There will be several choruses of 25
male voices accompanied by the or-
chestra, also solos, quartettes, char-
acter songs etc. Full particulars will
be given on large bills.
ABOUT HOBSES—The Expositor
says :—Sixteen very fine Clydesdale
fillies were purchased by an American
in this vicinity and taken to Clinton
for shipment to the United States
They all had registered pedigrees, and
being for breeding purposes will be
allowed to cross the border free of
duty. Among the number was a
very superior two-year-old purchased
from Mr Thomas Simpson, of McKil-
lop, which weighed 1460 lbs. The
prices ranged from $160 to $175 [The
horses were brought here, as stated
by our contemporary, and were cer-
tainly a fine lot of fillies, but, tinier.
tunately after being kept for several
days, it was found necessary to re-
turn them to their original owners,
and pay them for their trouble.—
The reason for so doing was this :—
When bought, it was supposed that
mares haying three crosses and re-
gistered, would be allowed to go into
the States duty free, but it was sub-
sequently teamed that this could not
be done, and it is feared by horse
buyers that registration in English
stock books would be necessary before
horses can be entered across the line
duty free, at any rate they are waiting
for a decision from Washington, and in
the meantime the horse business is
about a stand still. If farmers think
the McKinly bill has not affected their
pocket, let them ask any extensive
horse dealer.
NOTES.—Mr A. Matheson, well
known as a former Clintonian, but
lately a resident of the Northwest,
has recently been ordained a minis-
ter of the Presbyterian church; he is
certainly a man of much ability, and
has a wide field to work in. It is
rumored that a very popular young
man in this neighborhood, who is
Men to teaching, will shortly enter
the matrimonial state; more of this
again. Mr Bement, of St. Catha-
rines, Inspector of the Federal Life
Insurance Co., was in town last week.
Mr Dave Stewart, who formerly work-
ed with Mr Tipling, has returned
from Washington Territory, where he
has been blacksmithing for the past
few years, he is said to have done
well there and goessback after visit -
his friends. The Brussels Post says:—
"Inspector Robb paid his first official
visit to Brussels Public School this
week; he says there are a large num-
ber of changes among the teaching
fraternity in his Inspectorate; In-
spector Robb appears to be quite at
home in his work, and will make a
good record in the important position
he occupies." The annual meeting
of the Driving Park Association, for
the election of officers,, etc., will be
held at the Rattenbury House, this
(Friday) evening. Mr Thos. Farqu-
har, of Hullett, is giving up farming,
and has rented the house of Mr Wm.
Foster, Albert street, Clinton. Mr
W. Cudmore has shipped over five
hundred tons of pressed hay this fall,
and has yet a quantity to dispose of;
he says tbat hay never was as cheap
before as it is this season. Mr E.
Ru,nball, of the Foundry, has this
week graced his parlor with a beauti-
ful piano cased organ from the factory
of the Clinton Organ Co. ; although
this firm manufacture a number of
different styles, this one seems to
take the Lead. Master John • Leslie
has returned home from Detroit,
where he has been working for the
past summer; we understand he in-
tends remaining in town and will
work in the shop of his father. Mr
Geo. F. Emerson has accepted the
position of traveller for the Clinton
Organ Co.; the community will find
in George a courteous and gentleman-
ly salesman and the interests of this
enterprising firm will not suffer at
his hands. A large building to be
used in connection with the mould •
ing department has been added to
the Clinton Foundry. An operation
that is not a common one was per-
formed by a dentist here recently,
which was the removal of a tooth
through a man's cheek; the tooth had
ulcerated, forming a sore, that bad
made a large hole in the man's
cheek, and through this the tooth
was extracted. On Wednesday a
young man named Stewart, who
works Cudmore's hay press, had the
misfortune to smash the toes of one
foot, by having them caught in the
press. Mr S. Bell, late of town, hag
rented a hotel at Leadbury. Mr A.
Weir, barrister, has opened on office
in Petrolia. In an item of last week
about Mr G. F. Oakes selling 21
organs in twenty consecutive weeks,
it should have read "twelve" weeks.
Mr Thoa. Cottle has resigned bis
position as caretaker of the Athletic
Association Club rooms. Mr Henry
Stevens, is making an addition to
his house. Mr Chas Wilson, is doing
the same. Mr Thos Cottle has found
it necessary to make an addition to

ously ill with a paralytic stroke.—

In addition to the amount contri-
buted in the general way by the mem-
bers of Rattenbury St. church Clinton,
the sum of $149 was sent direct to the
Mission Rooms by members who pre-
ferredto contribute in that way, so that
the total contribution of that church was
over $414, the largest contribution in
the Goderich district, and fifth largest
contribution in the Guelph conference,
St. Marys, Owen Sound, and two
churches in Guelph exceeding it. Add-
ing the contributions of the Metho-
dists of this town together,the sum is the
largest given io the Guelph Conference,
Guelph city alone excepted.
Some of the appointments in the above
list belong to either Exeter or Wingham
district, and the contributions on the
Goderich district alone amounted to
$2138.32, a decrease of $354.30 over the
previous year. Guelph district is the
only one in the conference that exceeds
this, The total contributions for mis-
sion purposes in the Guelph Conference
amounted to $17353.13, and the total
contributions in Canada, (by the Me-
thodist church, of course) to the sum of
$194,673.42.
Church Work.
Rev J. Edge is announced to de•
liver an address at Lucknow, on the
evening of December 8th.
The annual meeting of the teachers
and officers of Rattenbury street Sab-
bath School will be held on Tuesday
evening next.
The attendance at the plum pud-
ding social held in St. Paul's church
school house, last Friday evening,was
as large as the place would comfort-
ably seat. Mr Craig acted as chair-
man,and after all had bad a supply of
plum pudding a good program of
readings by Mrs T. Fair, and Miss
Mountcastle, and 'singing by Miss E.
Rumball and Messrs Sibley, Jackson,
Spalding, Brewer and the choir, was
rendered, Miss sibley also favored
the audience with a recitation.
Mr J. A. Giffin, of the Clinton Col-
legiate Institute, occupied the pulpit
of Ontario street Methodist church,
last Sunday morning, and although
it was his first attempt at preaching,
he discharged the duty very credit-
ably, and with much ability, his sub-
ject being "Lessons from the life of
the Apostle James." There was the
least/ manifestation of nervousness,
which was only natural, under the
circumstances, and which will disap-
pear as he takes work in the future.
Gun Club.
The Clinton Gun Club held their
first class shoot for the silver cup on
Monday last. The day was all that

turnout of members, and some excel-
lent scores made. The cup in Class

with a score of 19 out of 20; Class B,
by W. Foster, with 15; Class C, by O.

bibition at the jewellery store of J. B.

Social Evenings.
We are very much pleased that ef-
forts are being made to provide a
series of enjoyable entertainments
during the coming winter months
that will not overtax the people's
purses and will prove most powerful
counter attractions to questionable
resorts. It would be well for the
different churches and other societies
to endeavor as far as possible to ayoid
coming. into collision, so that these
entertainments may be well attended.
The first will be the Married Men's
Social, in the town hall, on Tuesday
evening, 9th of•December, in aid of
the Mechanic'slnstitute. This social
is to be entirely under the charge of
the married men, who will do the
waiting, fill the programme, &c, &c.
A big time is looked fol.
On Friday, the 12th of December,
the Mission Band, of Willis church,
will hold a Candy Social in aid of its
funds, and there will be a good pro-
gramme.
On Monday evening, December
15th, the Y. P. (7. F,, Society of
Ontario St. church,bave arranged for
a visit from Rev Dr Stafford, of
Toronto, who will lecture on "Get
your money's worth." This distin-
guished preacher requires uo introduc-
tion and will, we are sure, be greeted
with a large audience,„
