HOUSE CONTRACT. — Mr Arthur
Cook has let the contract for the
brick work of his new house to be

DONE WELL.—An old Clintonian,
writing from Chicago, says:—"I re-
ceived the NEW ERA of last week,
and was pleased to see that the three
Hume elected Reformers. Since
the election Clinton has gone up in
my estimation one hundred per cent."

Detroit, are here on a visit. Mr Jas.
McDonald, of West Bay, Nova Scotia,

Arch McDonald. Mr E. T. Holmes,
of this office, has gone to Toronto,
where he expects to undergo a surgi-
cal operation for an injury sustained
to one of his legs a number ot years
ago; the injury is in the bone and
has not manifested itself beyond being
exceedingly painful, but has become
so bad lately that an operation be-
came imperative. Dr Holmes, Coun-
ty Treasurer,was in town on Tuesday;
he takes his defeat gracefully, as
every one in like circumstances shou14.
We are sorry to learn that Mrs James
Reith, daughter of Mr John Calbick,
is so ill in the west, that but faint
Lopes are entertained of her recovery.
Parties are canvassing town for orders
for enlarging photos, the work to be
done in Chicago; why go away from
town for this work, when Mr Foster
does the same in a first-class manner.
Some one was guilty of a despicable
act on Tuesday night, by smearing
Geo. Trowhill's shop door with night
soil. The late anow storm is the best
thing that could happen to the fall
wheat. Mrs Glazier, of Goderich
township, mother-in-law of Councillor
Andrews, has moved into town. Mr
Will Jackson is off on a short trip to
Chicago. Messrs Plumsteel & Gib-
bings this week received a -large order

of his tenant having expired; he, has
hired a man to look after it- for the
season. A week from to -day being
Good Friday, it will be observed as a
general holiday. Mr Thos Diamond
expects to leave for Chicago shortly.
Mr Hayward is now using the whole
of the building occupied by him for
carriage business. Next week a very
popular young lady in town will take
her departure for Manitoba, an the
wife of a former Clintonian; they will
have the best wishes of a large circle
of friends. Mr George Robinson,
formerly with Pay & Co., is now in
business for himself at Ninga, Man.,
and report says that he is doing well.
We extend our congratulations to the
editor of the Blyth Standard, on his
entry into the state of matrimony ;
we trust he will never have any more
care or anxiety than to "set up" after
hours looking after the "small caps."
Geo. H. Tipling, eldest son of Mr T
Tipling. has finished his apprentice-
ship to the watchmaking business at
Toronto, and will be home for the
holidays.—The Bell Telephone Co'y
has reduced the price of instruments
to $15 per year; this should induce a
number of others to introduce them
Mr Thos. Moon, of Toronto, is here
on a visit.
Rev Geo Richardson, chairman Of
the district, will preach la Ontario
street church, on Sunday next, Dir
Edge taking Mr Richardson's work.
Rev. J. Philp, B. D., of Watford,
formerly of Huron, has accepted aP
invitation extended by the United
Official Boards of the Queen's Park
and, Elizabeth St. Churches, London,
to become the pastor of the united
cougiegatious for the coming confer-
ence year.
A meeting of both the Trustee and
Quarterly Boards of Rattenbury St.
church was held on Tuesday night
(the epecialieervices having interfered
with them being held at the custom-
ary time.) After routine business
had been tranaacted, the following
resolution was unanimously passed :
Resolved, that this Board desires to
place on record its appreciation of the
earnest, faithful and successful labors
ot Rev Mr Shilton, as pastor during
the past year, and to assure him that
he has our entire sympathy and sup-
port in carrying on the work of the
Lord, and at the same time we ex-
press the hope that the Stationing
Committee will return him again as
our pastor, believing that such will
be entirely satisfactory to our con-
gregation. Mr Shiiton fittingly ac-
knowledged the resolution, stating
that his one great aim was to advance
the cause of Christ, wherever he was
placed. It was also decided to grant
him a few weeks' leave of absence
some time during the summer.
TO START RUNNING AGAIN.—MC-
Garva's Salt Block, which has been
idle for a considerable length of time,
will be put in operation this season,
as soon as necessary repairs can be
made. Mr James Sheppard, who
had considerable experience with oil
wells at Bothwell, will have full
charge of the works.
OPEN MEETING.—The members of
the Canadian Order of Home Circles
purpose holding an open meeting on
the evening of the 24th Inst, and
have arrangedan interesting literary
and musical program therefor. In •
yitations will be issued to a number
who are -not members of the order.
THE OLD O'BANYOUN TROUPE of
colored jubilee singers will give a
concertin the town hall on Wednes-
day, March 25th, under the auspices
of the Society of Christian Endeavor
of Rattenbury St. church. There
have not been many public entertain-
ments here this winter and a strong
company like this will likely draw a
large audience.
CENSUS COMMISSIONERS. — The
following persons.have been appoint-
ed Census Commissioners for the
districts named:—East Huron, E D
Chamberlain, Blyth; South Huron,
John Torrance, Varna; West Huron,
T E Case, Dungannon. These per-
sons will all, no doubt, perform their
work in a thoroughly satisfactory
manner, and we have no word of
fault to find with them, but we know
they are not the ones the active
workers of the party expected would
be appointed.
.AN UNUSUAL RUNAWAY. — Ono
night recently while a Hullett farm-
er was driving home from Clinton,
with a horse and cutter, the horse
became unmanageable, and throwing
him out, got away, from him; when
it came to the railway track it turn-
ed up on it and rat along the ties,
passing safely over a long open bridge,
and at the next cross road it turned
off and landed in front of its own
stable, little the worse of its mishap.
How it managed to cries the bridge
is the mystery, but it nevertheless
did so.
IN THE WEST.—A recent issue of
the Christian Guardian, refers to a
former Stanleyite, when it says:—
"'Lately on the Melgunrl, Manitoba
Circuit, Bro W Callander was pre-
sented with a purse of $32 and a set
of Matthew Henry's Commentary in
recognition of his services as a local
preacher." And the following in the
same paper, refers to an old Clinton-
ian:—"The Rev W Baer is doing
good work in Nanaimo; he is an able
preacher and jealous in the cause of
Christ, and also a live temperanec
man, who is always ready from the
pulpit and by his pen to expose the
horrible liquor traffic, and to per-
suade his fellow men to have nothing
to do with it, but to oppose it with
all their might and main."
STATISTICAL.—The Provincial Re-
port concerning the working of the
License Act has been received, and
from it we make a few extracts that
may be of interest. The total num-
ber of hotel licenses in operation in
1889, in Huron, was 109 against 134
in 1879. There were 8 shops licensee
issued in the same year, against 21
in 1879. The proportion received by
the province, for fees, fines &c, in
Huron, in 1889, was $7486.66. There
were 5 persons sent to the Goderich
jail for drunkenness in 1890, against
22 in 1880. Thd report of the Deaf
and Dumb Institute at Belleville,
shows that there are l0,inmates there-
in, from the county of Huron. From
' the Inspector of Prisons' report we
find that in 1890, 17 persona were
sent to the different asylums of the
province from this county; the total
admissions into the asylums, from
this county, since they were opened.
were 433, and of this number 117
are still inmates.
NOTES.—Mr Harvey Jackson, for
some tinge one of the NEW ERA staff,
has taken a position in the office of
Murray & Co., Toronto. Friday last
aenuine, old` -fashioned, "all wool
"and a yard wide" blizzard was ex-
perienced that put a stop to all busi-
Presentations.
A very interesting and profitable
meeting of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union was held on the
10th inst. Mrs Shilton conducted a
Bible reading on "Trust." Reports
of visiting and religious committees
showed faithful work done, one mem-
ber alone reported having made
twenty-eight visits during the two
weeks since the previous meeting.
Prayer meetings have been held at the
homes of the sick, and relief has been
given to several poor families. The
latter part of the program took the
form of a (Orwell to Mrs Wm. May,
one of the meet faithful and hard
working members of the Society, who
is leaving our town. A puree of mo-
ney and the following address were
presented to her:—Mas MAY—DEAR
SISTER AND FELLOW WORKER,—
We have heard with the most sincere
regret of your intended departure
from our midst, and cannot let this,
our last opportunity of meeting with
you,pass without expressing our sor-
row for the immediate cause which
calls you away.from us, and also your
absence from us for an indefinite
time. We should like to express our
appreciation of your zeal and self-
sacrifice, your work of faith and labor
of love in connection with our W. C.
T. U., and Christian work in general
in our town, but words fail us so to
do. As a society, and individually,
we owe much to you. your presence
in our meetinga and in our homes
has been a benediction, your unas-
suming manner and earnest desire to
do the Master''s work at all times is
an example which we shall all din
well to follow. As a society we shall
miss'you, yuu will be missed by the
church of which you have been such
a faithful member, but by none will
you be missed more than by the suf-
fering and poor of our town. We
earnestly pray that your life may long
be spared, and that health may be
granted to you to continue your work
in the Master's piney aid, wherever
in the future your lot may be cast,
and that all those dear to you by na-
ture's ties may be prospered and
blessed, that in the great day of the
Lord you may be an unbroken family
around His throne, "Not one wan-
derer lost." As a token of our love
and esteem we ask you to accept this
present, with the heartfelt prayer of
each contributor that "God's protec-
tion and the love of friends may en-
compass you." Signed on behalf of
the W.C.T.U., M. HARLAND, Pres.
Last Thursday evening, while Mrs
T. Fair was quietly enjoying the re-
pose of her home, her attention was
suddenly called to the door by an
unusual tramping of feet and ming-
ling of voices. Upon investigation
it was found there assembled her Sab-
bath School class, to the number of
about twenty. After a cordial recep-
tion, the object of their visit was
made known by the reading of the
sabjoined address, by Master James
Fortune, and Master Fred Sparling
making the presentation. Mrs Fair
made a suitable reply, and the re-
mainder of the evening was spent in
a social way. The following is the
address :—
DEAR MRs FAIR,—We, the un-
dersigned members of your class in
Willie Church Sabbath School, beg
you to accept the Lady's Companion,
which we herewith present, as a
slight token of our regard for you
personally, and our appreciation of
your labors as our teacher. With
best wishes for your success and hap-
piness, and with the hope and prayer
that we may profit by your instruc-
tion, we are, yours faithfully,

We are glad to know that the la-
bors of Mr J. C. Stevenson, in con-
nection with his Sunday School class
in the Rattenbury Street Methodist
Church,have been appreciated,at least
by his class of young people, as on
Thursday he had invited them to
spend the evening with him, and was
much surprised on being presented by
them with two beautiful books, one,
of Dante's Inferno and Milton'sPara-
adise L)st, illustrated.
