discharged the duties of deputy -reeve
for several years It ie not likely
that there will be any°opposition to
Mr Manning's candidature, as ell
admit hie special fitneale for this "poli
tion.
Ta.E DEPUTY REEVESHIP.
.A desire has been expressed to' have
Mr Forrester re-enter municipal life,
and we believe that a requieition has
been circulated .asking him to stand
as a candidate for the -•position of
Deputy -Reeve. What may be Mr
Forrester'e intentions we doubt know,
but we do know that he would make
a first class municipal officer, and be-
lieve that he would receive very gen-
eral support. It is also rumored that
Mr D. Cantelon will be a candidata
for this vacancy, but of this we know
nothing definite. ,
COUNCILLORS.
Most of the councillors will, we be-
lieve,accept re-election, although
several have expressed their desire of
retiring. There is evidently a lull in
municipal matters, as there is not a
breeze disturbing the atmaphere.
a
INSTITUTE.—The attendance at the
entertainment, on behalf of the Me-
ehanics Institute, on Tuesday, was
apt what it should be for such a
?deserving institution, and, conse•
q+qoently the proceeds were small;
,al1essrs T. Jackson, er., J. C. Steven-
son > and J. Croll gave songs; Messrs
Brewer, Librarian Scott and H. R.
Walker, readings, and Rev J. Edge
a short address.
SEVRGICAL.—Mr C. Cruickshank, of
town, bas been in Toronto for several
,days, undergoing an operation for
,the removal of a cancer. He was
for about two hours under the sur-
geon's knife, and sustained the opera-
2ion,without the use of chloroform, a
circumstance the medical men say is
exceedingly rare. So far the opera-
tion has been successful, and we are
certain that his many friends here
will look forward with pleasure to his
speedy recovery.
FELLOW FEELING."—Concern-
n the NEw ERA's libel suit, the'
Wingham Advance say- :—"We hope
Bro. Holmes will not be called upon
to show that hie pocket book is like
'what he°claims for his journal—the
largest in the county. It is rash
;fiioliehnesa to sue an editor for $5,000;
that class of human beings never look
for "such an amount of this world's
goods, but rather rely on receiving
'therewards for their toil in the world
to come. But they never refuse,
however, to take all they can get, so
;ring along your little dollars.'
.A COWARDLY ACT, — par) John
'Bamford was the owner Of a large,
Well bred mastiff dog, ant was highly
prized, both oe account of his breed-
ang and hie being perfectly harmless,
',never having attempted to molest-
' anybody. In fact, the only fault Mr
Eaneford found with the dog was that
tie made friends with everybody.
1.On Monday morning it was found on
+;: f Mary -street, lying dead on the cross -
g, near Mr D F Macpherson's resi-
iaenee. A valuable collar which the
dog wore was missing. We find it
hard to express our opinion of such a
contemptible low -lived transaction.
Bad enough to shoot the poor dumb
'brute, that never harmed anybody,
bid it was sneakingcowardice to steal
his tollar,when dead, for such an one
''would have feared to have taken it
;,,frons the dog when alive. The editor
of the News -Record notwithstanding,
we will here poibt out to our readers
*hat the law of the land recognizes

with the oldest members and care-
fully noting every item of import -
*nee, he gave,in the form of lecture,
the results of his labors in the study
sof the early history of Masonry. A
large number of membtre were pre-
sent, also a number of visiting breth-
ren from Goderich, Seaforth and
Other places, all of whom highly ap-
reciated the information conveyed
by the lecture, After closing the
lodge the brethren assembled in the

The next regular meeting, on Mon-
day Dec. 16th, of the Young People's
Chrietiaa Association of Willis
church, promises to be specially in-
teresting. The. Rev Mr Craig will
addrese the meeting, his subject being
Missions of the Church of England;
a special mueieal program is being
prepared; all are cordially invited to
hear(Mr Craig,
Mise Williams, the well-known
evangelist, preached to a large con-
gregation in Rattenbury Street church
on Sunday morning last, and we ven-
ture to say there was not one who
heard her but would gladly go a con-
siderable distance to bear her again.
She has wonderful power and quickly
reaches the hearts of her hearers.
She is holding 'special services in
Londeeboro, and it was through old -
friendship that Mr Shilton got her to
stay over.
We understand that Rev J. W.
Shilton has arranged with the Rev A.
H. Renton, State Evangelist of the
M. E. Church, Michigan, to aeaiet in
special services to be held in Ratten-
bury St. church, Clinton, early in
January. Mr Renton, a personal
acquaintance of 11(r Shilton, has been
eminently successful both in Canada
and the States, and will doubtless do
good work. This help is in addition
to the arrangements made by the
Financial District meeting at Sea -
forth.
The Christian Guardian of a recent
issue contains the following : Clin
ton, Ontario Street.—"This church
has been enjoying a period of great
prosperity. Under the pastorate of
Rev Jos. Edge there has been advance-
ment all along the line. At the an-
niversary services just over it was an-
nounced that the cost of an - enlarge-
ment made:three years ago was entire•
ly wiped out, the sum being nearly
$3,000. The membership have now
determined to clear off a parsonage
debt and thus stand free of incum-
brance. During Bro. Edge's time
over one hundred have been added to
the membership in the face of
many removals from this neighbor-
hood, and a spirit of liberality has
been inculcated which places the
church well up in .the front amongst
the churches of the Conference."
ANNIVERSARY --The Baptist church
held its anniversary last Sunday.
The pulpit was occupied in the morn-
ing by Rev W. H. Huston, Principal
of Woodstock College; in the after-
noon, by Rev. Mr Stewart, Willie
church, and again in the evening by
Mr Huston. The attendance was
good throughout the day. On Mon-
day evening the pastor, Mr J. A.
Osborne, delivered a lecture entitled
"Woman." The lecture was divided
into two parts, let, to understand and
get right views of woman, and 2nd, to
aim at inspiring right views of
woman. The lecturer brought out
the different kind of women there
were to be found in the world and
pointed out very clearly the chaiac-
teristics of a true woman. Woman's
rights were considered, and the con -
elusion arrived at was that woman's
rights were to govern her own house-
hold well, fill the place that God in-
tended she should fill and be queen in
her own home. The Rev Mr Shilton,
after a few appropriate remarks pro-
posed a vote ofthanksto the lecturer,
which was seconded by the Rev A.
Stewart. The meeting closed with
the benediction.•
)
MARRIAGE.—One of those events
that are always of special interest
occurred at the house of Mr T. O.
Cooper, Princess street, on Wednes-
day afternoon, 'when his grand-
daughter, MiesC. E. Cooper (daught-
er of Mr G Cooper, Goderich town-
ship) was united in marriage to Mr
Robt Johnston, a popular contractor,
of Goderich. The ceremony was
performed by Rev W. Craig. The
bride was assisted by Miss M. Cook,
of Goderich, and the groom by his
brother.
C A A A.—On Dec 19th, this as-
sociation will appear in one of the
finest entertainments ever given in
Clinton. No old music will be given,
and everything will be rendered in a
pleasing style. The orchestra con-
sists of J Porter, Goderich, violin; H
B Chant, French horn; A Stoneham,

OUTSIDE TESTIMONY. -Mr Bert
Pay, of St. Catharines, (an old Olin-
tonian) stood on the streets of Clin-
ton the other day, chatting with a
friend, and in the course of the con-
versation paid this compliment to the
Hub:—"I've been in a •great many
places this fall," said he, "but not in
a solitary one did I find more busi-
ness being transacted than in Clinton;
times are very quiet all over, but here
you seem to be doing more business
than in towns twice the size that I've'
been iui
urns.—Mr Harry Dennis, of
Brussels, was in Clinton, Monday,
and remarked that "the town had a
very natural look, and he was glad
to see it kept on improving " Look
out for next week's issue of the NEW
ERA; it will be specially interesting.
Mr E. E. Barrow, of Woodstock,
takes the place of Mr Peto, in the
Molson's Bank. The Grand Trunk
Railway will give the usual holiday
rates at Christmas and New Years,
Dame Rumor makes free with the
particulars of half -a -dozen marriages
to come off here shortly; perhaps she
is astray and perhaps not. Mr
Hughes, late electrician in town, has
secured a situation in Toronto. Mr
J. P. Doherty has returned from
Toronto University. Mr G. Swarts
moves to Goderich the beginning of
the year, where, with his son Ed. he
has rented a hotel; his cottage here
has been rented to a certain un-
married man, who "very likely" in-
tends to bach it. Mrs Geo. Baird, of
Stanley, is entitled to our thanks for
a Christmas goose; we are quite will-
ing to say to a numerous circle of
friends "go thou and do likewise."
If the sleighing continues this winter
there will be an enormous quantity
of wood hauled, as there has been a
large quantity already. Mr John Mc-
Millan is stumping in North Vic-
toria, where a by.election is in pro-

well known proprietor of the Toronto
Telegram, was a visitor to the NEW
ERA last Friday. Mr James Robert-
son and wife, of Olive, Man., who
formerly resided a short distance
from town, are here on a visit; it is
some time since Mr Robertson was
here, but looks, very little different
and has evidently enjoyed prosperity.
The Meohancis Institute has received
from Mr R. Porter, M. P., a bound
